Resisting The Alpha Cowboy The Confession [3/3]
★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I should have said something. Anything.But I didn’t.Instead, I kissed him like a coward—soft, slow, and silent. I gave him tenderness when he offered me something raw and real, something I wasn’t ready to touch. Because the truth is, I wanted to say yes.God, I wanted to say yes.Yes, I’ll stay.Yes, I want this.Yes, I want you.But that yes felt like betrayal. Of who I was. Of everything I told myself I’d never do. Because girls like me didn’t uproot their lives for a man, especially not for a man in a town like Dusty Creek. I wasn’t built for this place. I didn’t belong in second living rooms or in tight-knit packs where secrets wrapped themselves in family drama and storm winds.This was Laia’s story. She chose love and ended up with heartbreak and death. And I wasn’t about to follow in those same footsteps, no matter how safe Colton’s arms felt. But was it right to judge Colton based on the mistakes of others?No, right?So I lay beside him in the

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★The storm had passed by morning, leaving behind a silence that felt almost unnatural. The house was still, the wind no longer howling outside. It was as though the earth itself was holding its breath, waiting for the next turn in the story. I hadn’t slept much—how could I? After everything, the weight of last night pressing down on me, I couldn’t quite shut my mind off. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to the soft breathing of Colton beside me.When I finally gave up on sleep, I slid out of bed as quietly as I could, not wanting to disturb him. The house was empty and quiet, with only the distant sounds of rainwater dripping off the roof. I made my way to the bathroom, brushing my teeth in front of the mirror, my reflection tired and worn. My thoughts were a tangled mess of grief, guilt, and confusion. But none of it was mine. I wasn’t the one who had lost Laia. I liked her. I wish I had gotten to know her more. I wish I’d said something a

▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 The scent of coffee still lingered in the air, but Vanessa was already gone.I heard the door shut behind her, the car pulling out of the driveway, and I didn’t let myself watch her go for long. I looked at her through the window, but it was like i couldn’t really see her. I went back to the kitchen and got to work, distracting my hands with breakfast. Eggs. Bacon. Toast. Anything that would make the house smell like comfort, like something solid. Something I could control.The silence pressed down on me like a weight I couldn’t shrug off. Every sound—the clink of the pan, the soft sizzle of oil—seemed too loud, too sharp in the stillness. This house had been full of noise just yesterday. Voices, arguments, grief, betrayal. Now it just felt... hollow.My hands moved on autopilot, flipping bacon, scrambling eggs, buttering toast. I didn’t want to think. I didn’t want to feel. Because if I did, I’d go to that dark place where Laia was gone, where Darcy was cold i

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I drove into town as slowly as I could, hands tight around the wheel. The muddy road that led from Colton’s farm was half-washed away in places, tire-deep and slick. My windshield wipers squeaked against dried raindrops as they smeared instead of cleared.Every bump sent my heart racing. Not from the fear of crashing—but from the storm inside me.By the time I reached town, my chest was aching. Not physically. Just… heavy. I found a place to park behind the old bakery that never opened on Tuesdays and shut the engine off. My fingers stayed wrapped around the wheel.I didn’t move.I couldn’t.My breath caught in my throat before I even realized what was happening. The quiet—the sheer quiet of being away from the house, from the farm, from him—slammed into me like a wave. My vision blurred, and the windows around me felt like they were shrinking.The tears came without warning.I clutched at my chest, gasping, trying to make the feeling go away—but I couldn

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I hadn’t even knocked yet.I stood there, on the front steps of my mother’s house, hand raised and frozen mid-air, staring at the cracked white paint on her door. I could see the familiar wind chime hanging off the awning, a gentle tinkling as the storm's last breath whispered through. But I couldn’t do it—not yet. My chest felt too tight. There were too many thoughts pressing in at once, and if I opened my mouth to speak, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to form a single coherent word.I just needed a second. Maybe two.Then I heard it.Voices. Heated. Urgent. Close.My brow furrowed, and I tilted my head slightly. The noise wasn’t coming from inside my mother’s house. No—it was drifting over from one of the homes further down the street. A woman’s voice rang out, tight with anxiety. Then a man’s—calm, calculated, almost cold.I turned toward the sound, my instincts going full tilt. Something in the tone of that man’s voice raised every single red flag I had.S

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I don’t know how long I sat there.The car’s engine was still off, the inside heavy with silence except for the soft tap of water droplets sliding off the roof. My fingers were clenched on the steering wheel, my heart still hammering a wild, panicked beat. The edges of my vision were blurry, and it took me a minute to realize I was crying.I didn’t even feel it—until I heard the soft knock on the window beside me.I flinched.Whipping my head to the side, my breath snagged again—but it wasn’t Tate or Nora. Wasn’t anyone I needed to run from.It was Kyrie. Right, she'd knocked before. I must have looked at her and zoned out. Not a healthy thing to do. She stood there with a curious frown on her young face, one hand still pressed to the window. Her other hand tugged at the sleeves of her oversized hoodie, the hem of it damp from the wet morning. I hadn’t even noticed her come out of the house. Of course she lived there. Of course she’d notice me sitting li

▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 I never thought silence could feel this loud.The only sound was the soft trickle of water from the lake behind me and the occasional rustle of trees as a breeze pushed through the branches. The sky hung heavy with gray clouds, low and suffocating. The storm had passed, but it left behind this thick, unmoving grief—the kind that settled deep in the chest and refused to let go.And now Vanessa stood beside me, her phone in hand, eyes glued to the screen as the video played.I didn’t need her to explain it. The words coming out of that man’s mouth were enough to make bile rise in my throat.‘The sheriff will do it. He’s a greedy bastard. And by the time anyone figures it out, no one will be left in Dusty Creek to fight back. They’ll all be dead.’The woman with him had gasped, horrified, and asked what he’d done.My blood turned cold. I watched more of the clip, appalled by Tate’s actions. That son of a bitch. And of course, the sheriff has no idea about it. The

★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I arrived back at the farm—Colton’s house—just as the sky slipped further into gray.From the second I parked, I knew something was off. The driveway was clear. No voices floated from the porch. No creak of floorboards or clatter of kitchenware inside. It was empty.Too empty.I stepped out of the Jeep and onto the damp ground, the air thick with leftover moisture and the scent of wet wood. The storm had passed, but the rain hadn’t fully let go. It lingered in droplets that clung to the leaves and coated the windows like tears that didn’t know how to fall.Inside the house, the silence clawed at me.“Colton?” I called out, voice echoing just slightly. No response. My footsteps padded quietly over the wood floors as I walked from room to room, scanning for any sign of him.Nothing in the kitchen.Nothing in the living room, either of them.His phone wasn’t on the charger. His keys were gone.A slow panic started bubbling in my stomach.I checked the front p

★。＼｜／。★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.
Resisting The Alpha Cowboy Chapter 141
▄︻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,
Resisting The Alpha Cowboy Chapter 139
★。＼｜／。★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
Resisting The Alpha Cowboy Chapter 137
★。＼｜／。★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
