LOGINELIASBy the time I stepped out of the bathroom, Raina was already waiting for me.I had changed into a brown top and a pair of black baggy pants. I added a few pieces of jewelry, sprayed on my favorite perfume, then grabbed the bottle again and lightly sprayed some over Raina.She blinked. “Elias. Stop!”I laughed. “What?”“You just sprayed perfume on me.”“You smell good now.”“I already smelled good.”“Not as good as you do now.”She rolled her eyes, but a smile spread across her face. Then she looked me over from head to toe and went quiet.I raised an eyebrow. “What?”“Nothing.”“That doesn't look like nothing.”She walked around me slowly, examining my outfit. “Okay...” she said finally. “You actually look really good.”I grinned. “Really?”“Very good.”I straightened proudly, and she laughed. “Don't let that get to your head.”“Too late.”She shook her head before looking at me again. “The brown really suits you.”I glanced down at myself. “You think so?”“Yes.” She smiled. “An
RAINAI woke up to the feeling of someone watching me. When I slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Elias. He was lying on his side, his head resting against one hand as he stared at me with the softest smile.I smiled sleepily and reached for him, pulling him closer. “Good morning, baby.”“Good morning my love.” He leaned down and kissed my forehead.For a few seconds, neither of us moved. I simply enjoyed having him beside me, warm and comfortable. Then he sighed. “It’s time.”I frowned. “Time for what?”“Getting up.”I immediately pulled the blanket higher over my head. “No.”He laughed. “Raina.”“I don't want to get up.”“You have class.”I groaned.“And I have to take you to campus before heading to the pack.”I peeked out from beneath the blanket. “Why?”“Mia called.”That got my attention. “What happened?”“She said I have a meeting with the elders today. Apparently, there are a few things they want to discuss with me.”I raised an eyebrow. “About what?”“I don't kn
RAINAI didn't know why it hit me so suddenly. Maybe it was the wine, the warm haze still swimming in my head. Maybe it was the laughter, the music, the way he'd carried me up the stairs like I weighed nothing. Or maybe it was just him. Elias. The way he looked at me, the way his hand rested on my waist, the way his voice dropped low when he said my name.All I knew was that my body felt like a live wire. Every nerve in my body was buzzing, and there was only one thing in my head: I wanted him to touch me. I wanted him to kiss me. I wanted him to fuck me until I couldn't remember my own name.I pushed myself up onto my knees on the bed, the mattress dipping under my weight. My hands went to the waistband of my trouser. I tugged them down, resting them over my hips, letting them fall to my ankles before kicking them off the bed.Elias watched, and his eyes darkened.I hooked my thumbs into the sides of my black lace panties and dragged them down my thighs slowly. Then I let them drop,
ELIASI couldn't stop smiling no matter how hard I tried. Everything had fallen into place so quickly that it still felt unreal.I'd won the race and qualified for the International Bikers Championship. Also became the Alpha of an entire pack, and somehow the woman I loved had forgiven me. Maybe not completely. Maybe she was still watching me, waiting to see if I'd slip up again… but she'd given me another chance. That alone made me feel like I'd already won the greatest prize.I let out a chuckle. I could only imagine how furious Zane must be right now.I'd beaten him on the track, punched him in front of everyone, then left with the woman he'd spent so long trying to get back.Yeah… life was treating me very well today."And what's so funny?" Raina's voice came through the helmet.I laughed. "Everything."She smiled. “You're enjoying today way too much.""I really am."She shook her head, laughing softly against my back."And imagine.” I muttered. "Me... an Alpha."She chuckled. "A
RAINAMy heart wouldn't slow down. The moment the whistle echoed across the field, every motorcycle shot forward like bullets, engines roaring so loudly they drowned out everything else.I forgot to breathe. My eyes searched through the blur of riders until I found Elias."There..." I whispered.He moved through the pack so effortlessly it almost didn't seem real. His bike leaned smoothly into every corner, his movements were so controlled.A smile tugged at my lips despite my nerves. "Come on, Elias..."The crowd erupted around me. "Let's go!""Pass him!""Move!"I barely heard any of it. My entire world had narrowed down to one man. "Elias!" I screamed, cupping my hands around my mouth. "You've got this!"As if he somehow heard me over the deafening engines, he pushed even harder. Within seconds, he'd overtaken another rider, then another, and another. Soon… he was leading.A grin spread across my face. "That's it!" I clapped excitedly, my eyes never leaving him.Behind him, Zane wa
ELIASIt was race day. I'd barely slept, not because I was nervous, but because someone had refused to let me stop training.Raina had stood by the edge of the track almost the entire night, insisting I do "one more lap" every time I thought I was done.I honestly didn't need that much practice. Being a wolf already gave me an advantage over every human racer out there. My reflexes were sharper, my stamina was better, and my senses picked up things no ordinary person could.Still… I didn't complain.Every time I looked over and saw her watching me with those worried eyes, I understood why she was doing it.She wanted me to win by all means. So I trained until she was finally satisfied. By the time we got home, the sun had already begun to rise. I expected her to go straight to bed. Instead… she disappeared into the kitchen.The smell of breakfast drifted through the house a while later. I walked in to find her placing food onto the table, looking exhausted."You should've slept."She
RAINA For a moment, no one in the room even breathed. Zane’s mother’s mouth fell open. His father froze with his wine halfway to his lips. And Zane… Zane looked like someone had slapped the stupid off his face. Elias walked toward me slowly, his hand slid around my waist, pulling me gently into
RAINAI stepped out of that room, slamming the door shut behind me.My chest was rising and falling so fast I thought I’d pass out. I looked down at my wrist, half expecting the green light on my heart monitor to flash… but it didn’t.“This doesn’t make sense,” I whispered, pressing my fingers agai
RAINAIt was him- the rider in red. The one who’d won the race.He knelt beside me, his face shadowed by the dim light. His gaze locked on mine, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe.“Easy,” he said quietly. “You’re okay now.”I shook my head weakly, a tear slipping from the corner of my eye.
RAINA The noise from the crowd hit me the second I stepped onto the field. I pulled my jacket tighter around me, forcing myself to breathe steadily. I made my way toward the pit area, where Zane and the rest of the team were gathered. He stood near his bike, surrounded by his mechanics and a few
