The hallway lights flickered above Lena’s head as she stepped out of Lily and Maya’s dorm room.

Her legs felt like lead, her mind clouded by exhaustion and seething irritation.

The evening had been spent in the presence of people whose mere voices scraped against her patience like sandpaper.

She exhaled a slow, trembling breath as the door clicked shut behind her.

Lena pressed her phone to her ear, pacing a few steps toward her room.

Ethan’s name glowed on her screen.

The dial tone buzzed on and on until it cut to voicemail. She hung up before it could connect.

Her thumb hovered above the call icon, but she let out a frustrated sigh instead of redialing.

“Pick up, damn it,” she muttered under her breath, tucking a strand of dark hair behind her ear.

The icy knot in her chest tightened. She needed his voice. She needed something to ground her, but he was nowhere to be found.

She slipped her phone into the pocket of her pants.

Just one more hallway and she wod reach the sanctuar

  • Revenge For My Alpha: Sequel of Fated To The Alpha Twins    Smoke and Mirrors

    The bass never stopped. It beat like a second heart, fast and erratic, pulsing through the walls, the floor, the air. The club was a living organism of its own, a swirling dance of light and shadows, where time bent and conversations disappeared under the weight of the music.Lena stood with her back straight, her expression carefully composed as she reached Aiden.He didn’t look at her at first. His profile was sharp under the purple strobe light, and his jaw was clenched, his bottle of beer half-finished. She hovered a moment too long before speaking.“Aiden,” she said, her tone softer this time. The sharp edges had been filed down.He looked at her slowly, his brows arched in question, eyes dimmed with caution.“I’m sorry,” Lena began, folding her arms over her chest. “For how I said it. You caught me off-guard. I didn’t mean to be cruel.”Aiden studied her. His eyes were still hurt, but his features eased slightly.“Yeah. Well, you were.” He took another swig. “It’s not even tha

  • Revenge For My Alpha: Sequel of Fated To The Alpha Twins    The Shot Before the Storm

    The music throbbed through the club like a pulse, heavy and intoxicating, weaving itself around the glittering lights that spiraled overhead. Basslines thundered in Lena’s chest, a rhythmic reminder of where she was and what needed to be done. Bodies moved like shadows, tangled in dance and drink, and amidst the chaos, Lena’s eyes never strayed too far from Lucas and Liam.The twins were a problem—always had been. But tonight, they were her target.Lena's plan was simple: get them drunk, separate them, and strike when they were weakest. There had been rumors that Lucas and Liam were significantly weaker when apart. She hoped those rumors were true. Tonight was the night to test them.Lena's body moved effortlessly, fluidly to the beat, and in front of her, Aiden was entranced. His hands found her hips without hesitation, and his hazel eyes burned with something more than desire.“I think I’m falling in love with you,” he said suddenly, his voice low but urgent, nearly drowned out

  • Revenge For My Alpha: Sequel of Fated To The Alpha Twins    Under the Lights

    The thudding bass of electronic music pulsed through Lena’s chest the moment as she swayed to the music. Neon lights bathed the sprawling dance floor in shifting hues of blue, pink, and purple. A wall of heat and the scent of sweat and alcohol washed over them as they moved together past the other wave of dancers. It was the kind of place that made you forget your name by midnight.The others had hesitated just inside the entrance. Maya’s eyes flicked nervously over the packed crowd. Graham shifted uncomfortably, clearly out of his element. Lily fidgeted with the hem of her sparkly silver top. But Lena’s lips spread into a satisfied smile — they were here. Now all she had to do was loosen them up.“Come on,” she shouted over the pounding beat, tugging Lily’s hand. “You can’t just stand here like statues. Let’s dance!”Lily hesitated, then let herself be pulled forward. Maya, Lucas, Graham, and Liam followed reluctantly, weaving through sweaty bodies until they found a small cleari

  • Revenge For My Alpha: Sequel of Fated To The Alpha Twins    A Night Out

    The early summer evening settled over campus like a soft, oppressive blanket, thick with the scent of cut grass.Lena leaned against the open window of her dorm room, eyes sharp and calculating as she watched the last sliver of sunlight slip behind the treeline.This wasn’t how things were supposed to be.Everywhere she looked, Maya, Lily, Graham, the Alpha twins Lucas and Liam were skittish, cautious and paranoid. It was as if the air itself had become brittle. Lena could feel the walls closing in around her plans.It was all because of Robert Hawthorne, the lawyer the Alpha twins had brought in. The charges Ethan had filed had forced them into a corner and they had to be careful.Lena clenched her fists on the window ledge until her knuckles turned white.Careful wasn’t going to get her what she needed.She needed them moving, distracted, desperate—she needed chaos, and there was only so much of that she could conjure while they hid like cornered animals. Her mind raced, picking

    Lucas paced back and forth across the Persian rug of his apartment, his jaw clenched. Liam sat stiffly at the head of the long mahogany dining table, his fingers drumming a restless beat. Graham stood by the window, staring outside with a scowl carved into his face.Robert Hawthorne set down his worn leather briefcase on the table. His silver hair caught the flickering light as he slipped out of his wool coat and hung it carefully on the back of a chair. His presence was commanding even without the aura of power that came with being the top lawyer in the realm of high-ranking wolves.“I just got back from meeting Alpha Dean,” Robert began, his smooth baritone quiet but firm. “He’s given me his full blessing to do whatever it takes to make sure none of you end up behind bars.”Lucas let out a humorless laugh. “That’s comforting to hear, Robert. But in case you hadn’t noticed, we’re practically prisoners already. We can’t step outside without someone whispering that we’re violent br

  • Revenge For My Alpha: Sequel of Fated To The Alpha Twins    Silent Hopes

    Maya and Lily pushed through the heavy wooden doors of the lecture hall, the faint echo of their footsteps swallowed by the large space. The day was gradually going by but things in Lily’s life felt they were going at a standstill and she had no control over what was happening. The massive room, with its high arched ceiling and rows of polished oak benches, was nearly empty except for a few early arrivals flipping through last-minute notes.Lily could hear Maya talking beside her, but her mind was lost in an abyss of her own creation, making it hard to even concentrate.“I can’t believe we have to sit for this exam today,” Maya said, hugging her textbooks tight against her chest. Her eyes darted to the darkened corners of the hall as if expecting the shadows themselves to bring more bad news. “I’ve barely read a single chapter. Every time I tried, I just kept thinking about Lucas, Liam, and Graham" Maya said and she dropped her head in a dramatic way.Lily’s eyes flickered to her
