▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥

I should’ve been upstairs.

I should’ve been checking on her. She feels what I feel. Her reaction told me what I needed to know.

It had taken every ounce of self-control I had not to follow Vanessa up those stairs, not to wait outside her room just to make sure she was okay. But instead, I was standing in the middle of what used to be Darcy’s greenhouse, staring at the charred remains of what looked like a goddamn crime scene.

The fire had gutted the place. What once was a carefully cultivated garden and lab, full of Darcy’s experiments and rare plants, was now reduced to ashes and twisted metal. The glass panels had shattered from the heat, some sections melted down completely. Blackened wood and debris caved in where the roof used to be, smoke still curling weakly from the edges, as if the fire had barely been put out in time.

If Vanessa hadn’t gotten Darcy out...

I swallowed hard. I didn’t like thinking about the what-ifs.

Ross stood beside me, arms crossed,

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The first touch startled me.I hadn’t even heard Colton move, but suddenly, his hands were on my shoulders, firm and sure, kneading away the tension I hadn’t even realized was there."Relax, darlin’," he murmured, his voice a deep rumble behind me.I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. My body hurt. The fire, the smoke, the shift—it had all caught up to me. I could feel the ache deep in my muscles, settling in like a storm about to roll in.Colton seemed to sense it too."You’re gonna have a headache soon," he said, his hands never stopping their slow, methodical movements. "Take these before it gets worse."I glanced at the painkillers he placed on the table next to me, along with a bottle of water. I’d finished the one I was drinking. I didn’t tell him that I was resting just fine until he slammed the door when he came in. That I was still nervous from the whole ordeal.For a second, I considered arguing. I didn’t like taking things if I coul

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I woke up slowly, the kind of slow where your body feels like it’s floating just on the edge of sleep, reluctant to fully return to the waking world. The warmth of the blankets cocooned me, heavy and safe, and for a second, I let myself sink deeper into it, nuzzling my face into the pillow.Something smelled good. Familiar. Comforting.Colton.The realization hit me all at once, and my eyes fluttered open, taking in the dim morning light filtering through the curtains. I was wearing his shirt. I had fallen asleep in it, and his scent still clung to the fabric—rich, deep, a mix of cedarwood and something unmistakably him. It was distracting, and I hated that it was distracting. Ugh, I’m an idiot. I’d gotten some juice on my shirt last night and he offered me his to wear. What sort of dumbass does that? I didn’t need his nice-smelling shirt.I forced myself to roll onto my back, blinking up at the ceiling as last night came rushing back. The fire. The smok

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The walk to Doctor Reeves’ place was hell.I don’t know why I thought it would be any different. Maybe the slight breeze this morning had fooled me into thinking I’d get lucky, but no. The moment I stepped onto the dirt path leading out of Colton’s place, the sun turned into a relentless enemy.The heat pressed against me like a physical weight, making every step feel more miserable than the last.God, I hated the countryside.Everything about it—the never-ending land, the suffocating humidity, the fact that every bug in existence seemed to have a personal vendetta against me. The air smelled too fresh, the quiet was too loud, and the roads felt like they were designed to make my life miserable.But then again, the city wasn’t much better.I’d been in the city during heat waves that felt like walking through the ninth circle of hell. Asphalt turned into lava, buses became saunas, and stepping outside for more than ten minutes was a death sentence.So mayb

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★“Enjoying the drink?”I hadn’t touched it really. Like I said, I’m not about to have another drink put my ass on the floor. I rolled my eyes at Reeves, but the old man just chuckled like he’d already won whatever silent battle we were having. Before I could snap back at him, my phone buzzed.I glanced down, expecting maybe a delayed response from Laia or some random spam text, but instead, it was from Colton.Colton: Meet me by the running river.That was it. No explanation. No mention of dinner. Just... meet me.I frowned, staring at the message. It wasn’t like I expected him to say yes- or no- but he could’ve at least given me an answer. Instead, he was summoning me like I was some kind of errand girl. Typical alpha male nonsense.I sighed and looked at Reeves, who was already smirking like he somehow knew exactly what was happening.“Is there a running river around here? I saw a line of it once while Catia was working the sheep.” I asked, slipping my

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★“So,” Colton drawled, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked beside me, “this dinner thing. Why do you want me there?”I rolled my eyes. “Because Samson is going to make a scene, and I’d rather not stress out his wife.”Colton made a low, thoughtful sound, but the teasing glint in his golden eyes made me wary. He shook his head with mock disappointment. “Come on, darlin’. Tell me why you really want me there.”Clicking my tongue, I feigned confusion. “What are you talking about?” Sometimes Colton flirts and it takes me off guard. I think it’s all in his natural charm, but it’s devastating. I barely had time to react before Colton caught my wrist, tugging me behind a large tree, out of sight. My pulse skipped, but I kept my face composed, raising an eyebrow at him.“You said we’re casual,” he murmured, his voice low and smooth, wrapping around me like a slow drag of honey. “That we can fuck around with each other. So I don’t see why I have to be

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The day had started off light. I hadn’t planned on following Colton around as he worked, but there was something about watching him move through his day that made me feel… calm. It was an unusual feeling, one I wasn’t sure I liked. Normally, I preferred the chaos of the city, the anonymity of it, the way people kept their heads down and minded their own business. But here, in this small, slow-moving town, everything was personal.Colton made it worse.He talked easily, made me laugh without trying, and somehow managed to make the heat of the day a little less unbearable. We talked about stupid things—his favorite type of beer (cheap and cold), my favorite type of wine (expensive and red), and the worst jobs we’d ever had. He told me about working at a feed store when he was younger because he lost a bet, and how he once had to chase a goat around the property for over an hour. I told him about my short-lived stint as a bartender, and how I got fired for p

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The silence between us stretched, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It was just… there. I somehow thought he would bring it back, guilt me into saving this innocent girl’s life. But now. He respected that it was my choice. No one but me could decide what I did with my body. I find that honestly surprising. What happened to the guy who argued with me because I said fuck in front of his sister? That wasn’t long ago. I watched as Colton moved through his work, handling the animals with ease, checking crops like he could hear them speaking to him. He was thorough, strong, and—unfortunately—distractingly good-looking. I hated that my mind kept drifting back to the way his shirt clung to his back, the way sweat dripped from his jaw when he ran a hand through his already messy hair. It was unfair, really.I was still lost in my own thoughts when he suddenly straightened, wiping his hands against his jeans before turning to me. “You hungry?”I blinked, needing a sec

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥After tasting her in the bathroom, a polite way of saying I had her grinding and cumming on my tongue, I cleaned us both while she regained herself. Then after a much colder shower, we stepped out, dried up and she went to her too to put on something new. In true Vanessa fashion, she left naked... refusing to take my towel. And returned with her bag and a tight shirt that stopped above her knees. My gut tells me there’s no underwear past that but I can’t confirm that.I’m pretending to be fine. That laughing, kissing, and tongue fucking her is easy. But it isn’t. I want to find my mind drifting to the wrong area sometimes. Like right now. I moved through the kitchen with ease, the scent of sizzling eggs and toast filling the air as I worked. The space was quiet, save for the occasional sound of my spatula against the pan and the rhythmic tapping of Vanessa’s fingers on her laptop.She was completely absorbed in whatever she was writing, brows drawn together, l

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★We rode the horse all the way to our next destination after leaving the diner, the sky still dipped in twilight shades of purple and gold, dust kicking up behind us as we passed a few shuttered storefronts and the odd resident walking their dog or heading home. It was peaceful, the kind of calm that settled into your bones if you let it.Colton reined the horse in front of the mechanic’s shop—a squat, sun-bleached building with a rusted sign that just said Steve’s Auto. The kind of place that didn’t need Yelp reviews to survive, just old men with busted pickups and nowhere else to go. I thought it was thriving earlier, Colton had brought me here, but things must have changed.Steve himself stepped out as we pulled up, wiping his hands on a rag that had long given up the fight to stay clean. “Thought I heard hooves,” he said, giving a nod to Colton. “She yours?”“The horse or the woman?” Colton asked with a smirk.Steve snorted. “Whichever’s gonna sass me

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I don’t know what I expected when Colton said we were going somewhere not on the map, but it sure as hell wasn’t a water tower. Not one with a view that made the whole damn world feel like it was holding its breath.The town looked like a miniature version of itself from up here—soft, sun-drenched, unreal. Like someone had pressed pause and we were sitting above time itself. I leaned back against the blanket he laid out, stretched my legs out, and let the warmth of the sun and his body beside mine lull me into a kind of weightless joy.God, when was the last time I felt like this?Carefree. Safe. Wanted.Colton was lying next to me, one arm propped under his head, the other draped across his stomach. His shirt had ridden up a little, exposing a sliver of sun-kissed skin, and I had to force myself not to stare too long. Or touch. Or climb on top of him right then and there.Which was ridiculous, because we were literally on top of a damn water tower.“I ca

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 After a good breakfast and wrestling a cup of caffeine from Vanessa, I grabbed the keys to one of my Jeeps, tossing them once in the air and catching them with a grin.“C’mon,” I said to Vanessa, watching her follow with that curious tilt of her head I’d grown addicted to. “Thought we’d take a little ride into town.”“I didn’t even know you had a Jeep,” she said as we walked down the path to where the whole family keeps their cars.“I’ve got a few things tucked away,” I said with a shrug. “Come on, I’ll show you.”We rounded the back of a big building, where a few of our vehicles were kept under tarps or shade roofs. Trucks, bikes, the old Jeep I’d learned to drive in for the first time. A bunch of other really clean and expensive-looking cars. I gestured at the line-up. “Told you.”She gave me a little side-eye. “Are you secretly a car fanatic?”I laughed. “Yeah, but that’s not the only reason we have alot of cars. I just grew up in a family where fixing thing

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I woke up warm.Not just physically—though that was part of it, tucked into the soft weight of Colton’s arms, his chest rising and falling behind me like the tide—but something else, too. Safe. Anchored.For a second, I didn’t move. I just blinked slowly at the soft light filtering through the curtains, breathing in the scent of soap, pine, and something distinctly his. Then I tilted my head back slightly and looked up.He was still asleep.His face was peaceful in a way I rarely got to see. No furrowed brow. No guarded jaw. Just Colton, unburdened. His mouth twitched a little, like he was dreaming about something mildly annoying or mildly funny—it was hard to tell with him.I laughed under my breath. Quiet and breathy.What a strange life.I used to wake up to sirens and honking cabs. Now I was waking up in a quiet room on a ranch, wrapped up in a man whose idea of rest was plowing half a field before breakfast.And yet… this didn’t feel strange at all.

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 We couldn’t keep them here, that was a thought i couldn’t shake from the moment i showed up here. I stood in the barn, arms crossed, watching the twins—Fabian and Derico, or whatever they called themselves—slumped against the wooden post, weak and sullen but still dangerous. Ross had tied them good, and Abel was pacing like he wanted an excuse to break something. I think my father wants to hit someone. I’d let him, but I can’t risk him accidentally killing them. We need them.Vanessa’s concoction was still doing its work. She hadn’t lied—whatever she’d made, it drained the strength right out of their bones and soul as well. Enough of it could ruin a shifter’s ability to ever turn again. I’d seen that look in their eyes now. They understood what was at stake. She did say it was like wolfsbane. I should send a general message to everyone in the pack to wash the concoction off their skin. “We should move them,” I said finally, turning to face my father. “Take ’

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I shut the lid of my laptop and stared at it for a long second. The screen was black, but I could still see the echo of everything inside it—files, photos, confessions that might change the course of this pack’s future. I backed it up to several places. The first backup was easier than the others after it. Ugh, I’m actually super tired. I feel like crashing but i have one more thing to do. I gotta make that call I’ve been avoiding.My thumb hovered over my phone before I picked it up and scrolled to a number I’d been avoiding for days.Maya (Editor-in-Chief)The moment it started ringing, I regretted it. But there was no turning back now.She picked up before the third ring.“Jesus Christ, Vanessa. You’re alive. I’ve been calling you, emailing you, and texting you. You practically live on your phone, so why haven’t you been answering?”Her voice was sharp, loud, clipped. Familiar. And also tired. Everyone’s got shit that they’re dealing with.“I’m sorry,

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I checked on my phone and the recording. Thank fuck for the apps i use. That long confession would have needed to be divided into two parts, or more. I turned to Ross and Abel.“I’ll go get Colton, he can help you guys with this.” I said, slipping the last of the vials into the worn canvas of my bag.“You want us to just watch them while you’re gone?” “Yeah, just think of them as wild, untamed STDs. You don’t have it, but you gotta watch out for it.”Abel gave a curt nod, jaw set and eyes still on the twins, who were slumped and breathing heavily against their restraints. Ross, on the other hand, let out a quiet little hum — not disapproving, not questioning. Just… amused.“STDs?”I glanced at him briefly, and sure enough, he was fighting the corner of a smile.“Yeah.”His lips pressed together, and he took in several breaths to calm himself. “You do that,” he said, like he was letting me walk off with some private joke I’d never understand. “Don’t be to

  • Resisting The Alpha Cowboy   Chapter 138

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★I set my vials down carefully on a dusty old table by the door, arranging them neatly, almost deliberately slow.Fabian and Derico — the Fa-derico twins — were chained and fidgeting against the beams, their faces tight with pain and hatred.Good.Let them stew.I turned to Abel and Ross, keeping my voice even, business-like.“We’re going to do this properly,” I said. “I’m going to need to take some photos and videos.” I glanced at Ross. “If they confess anything — especially anything about a woman named Alina — we’re going to need proof.”Ross raised an eyebrow, but nodded. Abel grunted his approval. They didn’t know that name, I’m guessing colton didn’t really tell them the name of the woman who scammed him. I’d like to punch her. Not out of jealousy though. I’m classier than that- It’s maybe partly jealousy. Still, colton is a nice guy. And girls like me and alina use nice guys. I’m not proud of those past conquest but I’m also not ashamed of it.I loo

    ★。\|/。★VANESSA DAVIS★。/|\。★The field buzzed with leftover tension — the kind that clung to your skin and made every breath feel heavier.Children whimpered quietly against their mothers' legs.Men who hadn’t joined the chase and women stood frozen in place, casting nervous glances toward the trees where snarls and crashing sounds echoed in the distance.No one knew if they should stay or run.I stepped forward, heart pounding, but kept my voice soft, steady."Everyone," I called out gently, enough to draw their wary eyes to me, "please — head home. Take the little ones. The elders, too. There's nothing else you need to see. Get everyone to the safest place you can. Thank you for your time today."The pack hesitated, the weight of their fear holding them still. I noticed people squinting at the distance. They didn’t want to move, just in case there were more attackers. I softened my tone even further. "You're safe. Colton and the others have it under control. It would do them a gre
