Damien

Jealousy looks good on Jade.

It’s the first thought that hits me when she interrupts the conversation between me and the blonde from Starfire Hollow. I catch the flash of irritation in her eyes. The second I see that fire, everything else—my stress, the lingering tension in my shoulders from the demon threat, the suffocating pressure of leadership—it all fades into the background.

“Am I interrupting something?” Jade’s voice cuts through the air, sharp and tense.

The blonde—Nina, I think her name is—glances between us, eyes widening as she senses the change in atmosphere. She takes a step back, clearly uncertain. Honestly, it’s the smartest thing she’s done all night.

“Actually, yeah,” I say, fighting back a grin. “You kind of are.”

Jade’s brown eyes narrow, and for a second, I wonder if she’s about to deck me. I can practically see the thoughts spinning in her head—everything from annoyance at the situation to her stubborn refusal to admit that she’s jealous. It’s all written a

    She doesn’t flinch, doesn’t even blink. “Watch me.”There’s a fire in her that I hadn’t expected, and I can’t help but admire it, even if it’s directed at me. But this isn’t just about her or me. This is bigger, and she needs to understand that.“I don’t think you understand.” I take a step closer until we’re nearly nose to nose. “If you back out, if you refuse this arrangement, your family will be shunned from the pack. Everything your father’s tried to protect, all the debt he’s supposedly repaid with this… it’ll mean nothing. They’ll lose everything.”She works her jaw, but she doesn’t look away. I can see the struggle there—the loyalty, the need to protect her family, and the frustration of being used as a bargaining chip. I get it. But I also know that backing down now would be a mistake I can’t afford. The council expects loyalty and cooperation from me. This is my first test as alpha, and I’m not about to fail it by rejecting their decision.“So that’s it?” Her voice is low, bi

    AlecI didn’t think much could surprise me at this point, but I guess life still has a sense of humor.Isadora Simpson. Of all the people in this territory—hell, in this world—she’s the one standing in front of me, supposedly my soon-to-be bride.Isadora. Quiet, mysterious, and, from what I remember, the last person who’d want anything to do with me.She doesn’t look quite how I remember. She’s… more. The pale skin, black hair, and those ocean-blue eyes have this haunting elegance to them. It’s a sharp contrast to the girl I remember, always tucked away in a book or avoiding any kind of attention. Her hair’s also longer now, and it glides over her shoulders, framing a face that’s all high cheekbones and rosy cheeks.And those curves… well, let’s just say she’s grown into them. A lot.But her expression? Cool, calm, with not even a flicker of recognition. If anything, there’s a hint of defiance in the way she holds herself, like she’s braced for a battle she’s already determined to win

    “We… don’t know exactly,” my mother admits. “The alpha is new. Not from East Hills originally, but apparently, he’s here to strengthen the alliances. All we know is that he’s… reputable. Comes from a good family.”My jaw clenches. “A good family,” I repeat. “Well, that’s a relief. And when exactly am I expected to go through with this… arrangement?”“Soon,” my father says, a note of finality in his voice. “The elders want it done quickly. They’re eager to, uh, solidify things.”Solidify things. Great. Just what every girl dreams of.My mother reaches out with a pleading look in her eyes. “Please, Izzy. I know this is a lot to ask, but—”I shake my head. “No, don’t ask. You’ve already made the decision.” I let out a slow breath, crossing my arms. “Fine. I’ll go through with it. If this is what it takes to keep our family safe, then that’s what I’ll do. But just know…” I lower my voice, making sure they hear every word, “you better hope this alpha’s as good as you think he is.”My mothe

    IsadoraI knew returning home would be a headache, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this kind of headache.“Mom, you want to run that by me one more time?” I’m standing in our cramped, overly warm kitchen, holding onto the counter for dear life as I stare at my mother, who’s suddenly developed an intense interest in the toaster on the counter.She wrings her hands, avoiding looking at me. My father clears his throat from his usual spot at the table. My mother may be the one pacing, but he’s the one I’m watching. He’s always been quieter, a little too good at deflecting, and right now, he’s looking everywhere but at me. It’s annoying.“It’s not exactly like that, darling,” she says, giving me a tight smile that I recognize as her patented “calm down, everything’s fine” look. It never works.“Oh, I think it’sexactlylike that,” I reply. “You offered me up for marriage. To the alpha. Which I think would be something worth mentioning to mebeforeI came back from my little sabbatical, don’t y

    “So, he told you?” she asks me, her voice a little too smug.“Apparently, you all decided this was the best way to welcome me,” I reply dryly.She rolls her eyes. “It’s an honor, Alec. They wouldn’t ask this if they didn’t believe you were the right one to lead.”Quincey snorts. “‘Honor’ isn’t exactly the word I’d use.”Kai shrugs, glancing between us before her eyes land on me. “Look, we’ve had strong alphas, but never one from outside the pack’s direct bloodline. They’re looking for assurance that you’re fully committed to East Hills, that you’re as much one of us as any other alpha before you.”In the clearing below, the pack is sparring, honing their reflexes and instincts against one another. It’s as much ritual as training, a show of strength and readiness. A few of the pack members look my way, cautious and assessing. I can feel the weight of their expectations on me as clearly as I can feel the damp chill in the air. They’re waiting to see if I can fill this role, this respons
