Jade

This alpha is lucky I don’t punch him in the throat.

Watching Alec walk away, stiff and barely containing his anger, makes my blood red-hot. He doesn’t deserve this. He doesn’t deserve to be caught in the middle of whatever twisted power play Damien thinks he’s running.

Alec took the brunt of the heat for helping me—me and Penny—and all Damien could do was strut around like the king of the mountain, reminding everyone who’s in charge. My nails dig into my palms so hard it hurts, but I can’t stop myself. I’m so angry I could scream.

I can’t just let this go. Not this time.

Before I can think better of it, I stomp toward Damien, grabbing his arm and yanking him off to the side of the chapel, away from the prying eyes of pack members and elders. He doesn’t resist. He’s too caught off-guard to react, and for a second, I almost enjoy the flash of surprise in his eyes. Good. He should be surprised. I’m not playing by his rules anymore.

“What the hell was that?” I hiss as soon as we’re

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Now Pregnant With His Baby   chapter 15

    When the book finally closes, she’s out. Fast asleep in his arms, her breathing soft and steady. And Damien? He just sits there, holding her like he’s afraid she’ll disappear if he moves.For a moment, something twists in my chest. It’s not anger, not anymore. It’s something else, something I’m not ready to admit to myself.“She loves you, you know,” I say softly, surprising myself with how raw the words sound. “Even without knowing who you were.”Damien glances up at me. “I’m going to clear your name.”“What?”“With the other packs,” he continues, carefully shifting Penny in his arms as he stands up. “And with ours. I’m going to make sure they know you can be trusted. You won’t be the outcast witch anymore. You’re part of Starfire Hollow. You’re part of my pack.”Oh, hell, no. He’s not going to pull that alpha card again.I push off the wall, and my arms fall to my sides as I narrow my eyes at him. “I don’t need you to clear my name, Damien. I’m not some damsel in distress waiting fo

    “I didn’t know if you’d want her,” I admit, my voice cracking. “I didn’t know if you’d see her as a mistake.”“A mistake?” His eyes flash with something dangerous, but it’s not anger this time. It’s pain. “Jade, she’s not a mistake. She’s my daughter. I would never—” he cuts himself off, and he doesn’t speak again until he’s taking a long, deep breath. “I would never hurt her.”“But what if she… what if she does start showing signs of magic, Damien?”“Then we deal with it,” he says firmly. “Together.”I blink, surprised by his certainty. “You really think the pack will accept that?”“They’ll accept it because I’m the alpha. And I’ll protect her. I’ll protect both of you.”I want to believe him. I want to believe that things can be different, that Damien will somehow make it work. But the doubt is still there, gnawing at the back of my mind. “It’s not that simple, Damien,” I say cautiously. “The pack—”“The pack will fall in line,” he interrupts, his voice leaving no room for argument.

    JadeThe moment Damien steps through the door, I know it’s about to happen. Ever since he pulled up on the side of the road, his whole body has been tense, his expression colder than I’ve ever seen it before, and that can only mean one thing: he knows.I’ve been dreading this conversation since the second I got dragged back to Starfire Hollow, but I hoped to have more time. More time to figure out how to explain myself, how to control this narrative. But no. Damien Lucas never gives anyone time to get their shit together, and now here we are.As soon as Penny disappears into her room, he turns on me. “You want to explain something to me?”I blink, playing dumb. “Explain what?”He doesn’t bite. “Penny.”One word. That’s all he says, but it’s enough to make my stomach drop to the floor. Yup, he knows. Of course, he knows. I’ve been waiting for this shoe to drop, but that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.I do my best to keep my voice steady. “What about her?”“She’s mine,” he sta

    “Wouldn’t dream of it,” I say.With that, they turn and leave, the door closing behind them with a solid, final thud. As soon as they’re gone, I let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. This could’ve gone worse. A lot worse. But at least for now, they’ve agreed to give us a shot. Whether it works out is a whole other story.I shake off the lingering tension as I walk to my truck and climb into the driver’s seat, I take a deep breath, letting the familiar rumble of the engine ground me. I need to clearmy head before I get home, need to figure out how the hell I’m going to manage everything—the pack, Jade, the looming threat of whatever is killing our people.As I drive, the trees whip by, a blur of green and shadows. The road is familiar—I’ve driven it hundreds of times since I was a kid accompanying my father on these meetings—but my mind’s racing faster than the truck. I should be thinking about the pack, about the deals I made today, about all the bullshit that’s piling u

    DamienGray Reed’s glare is practically a living thing, slithering across the room and coiling around my neck. The man has always had a chip on his shoulder, but today, it feels like that chip’s grown into a damn boulder.Patrick Martin, on the other hand, is as calm and quiet as ever. His dark eyes move between us like he’s watching a tennis match he has no intention of joining until he has to.This meeting has been going on for thirty minutes, and so far, I’ve heard every reason why this won’t work but not one real solution. Typical.“You don’t get it, do you?” Gray growls, sitting back in his chair like he’s trying to take up as much space as possible. His blond hair is slicked back, and his jaw clenches hard enough that I’m half-worried his teeth might shatter. “You’re asking us to trust a witch. That’s not just a bad idea. It’s suicidal.”I roll my eyes. Honestly, if I have to hear that line one more time, I might throw something. “We’ve been over this. Jade isn’t just some rando

    Before he can respond, a tiny voice cuts through the tension, shattering the moment like a fragile piece of glass.“Mama?”I whirl around, and there she is—Penny—standing a few feet away. She looks up at me, then at Damien, completely unaware of the storm raging between us.“I’m sleepy, Mama,” she grumbles, rubbing her eyes with her chubby little hand.Damien’s eyes flicker down to Penny, and for a split second, I see something in his expression shift. Something softer, more human. And I hate it. Hate that he can go from hard alpha to this… version of himself that almost looks like he cares.But I’m not falling for it. Not now, not ever again.I lift Penny in my arms and hold her close, trying to shield her from everything that’s happening. The weight of Damien’s stare is heavy, like he’s trying to figure us out, piece together something he’s missing. Well, too bad for him. I’m not giving anything away.“I’ll take you to my cabin,” Damien announces in that authoritative way. Like I’m
