Natasha.

That hit me so hard that for a second I could not speak, because I knew he was right, I knew it in the deepest part of me, and suddenly the words from earlier came back to me, the tension in the compound, the strange confidence of the men attacking, the feeling that every move had been planned with care.

“They want to distract him,” I said.

“Yes,” Victor replied.

“And if they want to distract him then Sophia is not the end of it,” I said, my voice dropping as the thought finished formi

    NatashaThe walk back inside should have felt like a small thing, just a few quiet steps and a door opening, but everything about it felt heavier than it should have, and the closer we got to the hallway, the more certain I became that whatever Alan had found outside had not stayed out there, because even though he said nothing, the silence around him felt too full, like he was carrying something that had already started changing the shape of the night.He did not let go of my hand after we stepped in, and if anything, his fingers seemed to close around mine a little more firmly, enough for me to feel that quiet insistence in him, that same one he used whenever he wanted me close without saying it out loud. I looked up at him as he led me down the corridor, and his face was calm in that way only Alan could manage, controlled enough that anyone else might have believed it, but I had seen the look in his eyes outside, and now I could not unsee

  • Rejected by my Mate, Accepted by his Alpha Uncle   Is it bad?

    NatashaI did not like the way Alan’s voice changed, it was subtle, so subtle that anyone else might have missed it, but I didn’t, because I had started to learn Alan in ways I had not planned to, noticing the small shifts, the quiet changes that said more than anything he actually spoke out loud, and the moment he told me to stay where I was, I knew something was not right.“What do you mean nothing yet?” I asked, my voice calm even though my chest had tightened slightly, because there was something about the way he was looking ahead that made it clear he had already seen something.He did not answer immediately, and that alone told me enough.“Alan,” I said again, softer this time, not pushing, but not letting it go either.“I just need to check something,” he replied, his tone controlled, too controlled, like he was choosing every word carefully.I stepped closer instead of staying back like he had asked, my fingers brushing lightly against his arm. “Then I’m coming with you.”His

  • Rejected by my Mate, Accepted by his Alpha Uncle   Nothing.

    AlanI did not say anything as we walked back, not because I did not have something to say, but because I knew that if I spoke too soon, I might say it the wrong way, and the last thing I wanted was to turn what had just happened into something heavier than it already was, especially when I could still feel the tension clinging to Natasha even though she was trying to act like she was fine.She kept her pace steady beside me, her steps quiet against the floor, but I noticed the way her fingers curled slightly at her sides like she was holding something in, and that alone told me more than any words would have, because Natasha was not the kind of woman who let things slide easily, not when something did not sit right with her.“You shouldn’t have asked her like that,” I said after a while, my voice calm, not harsh, because I was not trying to scold her, I just needed her to understand what she had stepped into.She glanced at me, not defensive, just thoughtful. “So I should just ignore

  • Rejected by my Mate, Accepted by his Alpha Uncle   Let's go back

    NatashaSleep never came, not even close, because no matter how still everything around me seemed, my mind refused to settle, replaying every second from earlier, the gun, the car, the way it all ended too cleanly, and even as I sat there in Alan’s office with the glass of water resting untouched in my hand, I knew that staying in one place was only making it worse.“I need some air,” I said quietly.Alan, who had been standing not too far from me, looked up immediately, his gaze searching my face like he was trying to decide if this was something he should allow.“I’ll come with you,” he replied.I shook my head gently. “I won’t go far, I just… I need a minute to clear my head.”His jaw tightened slightly, like he did not like the idea at all, but after a short pause, he nodded.“Stay within the compound,” he said firmly. “And keep your phone on you.”“I will,” I promised.He stepped closer then, his hand lifting briefly to my arm, his thumb brushing lightly against my skin in a quie

  • Rejected by my Mate, Accepted by his Alpha Uncle   I'm okay.

    NatashaAs we stepped away from that burning building and the night air hit my face, it felt like my body was finally catching up with everything that had just happened, because even though my feet were still moving and Alan’s hand was still wrapped tightly around mine like he was afraid I would disappear if he loosened his grip, my chest was tight in a way I could not ignore, and every breath I took felt deeper than normal, like I had been holding it in for far too long.I stayed close to him, closer than I usually allowed myself to be in front of everyone, but I did not have the strength to pretend anymore, not after everything that had just happened, not after the way I had heard him shout my name like losing me was something he could not survive, and even now, as we moved further away from the chaos, I could still feel the echo of that moment sitting somewhere deep inside me.“Easy,” he murmured quietly beside me, his voice low enough that it was just for me, and when I looked up

    AlanThe shot rang out, but it did not sound like just another gunshot in the middle of chaos, it sounded louder, closer, like it had been fired right inside my chest, because for one second I did not know who it hit, did not know if I had just watched everything I had been trying to hold together slip through my hands in the worst way possible.“Natasha!”Her name tore out of me before I could stop it, rough and sharp, and I was already moving, already closing the distance between us as her body stumbled forward from where that man had pushed her, because nothing else mattered in that moment, not Matt, not the others, not the fight still breaking out behind me, only her.“I’m here,” she said, breathless, and the sound of her voice hit me so hard it almost made my knees give out, because it meant she was still standing, still breathing, still mine to reach.I caught her just before she could fall, my hands gripping her arms first, then pulling her fully against me, holding her like if
