I left him just as he did me. Liam Kane and his mixed signals weren’t going to consume my thoughts anymore. I was done.

The other trainers brought over more drinks, and I threw myself into the chaos of the night. The music was loud, the energy electric, and the alcohol flowed freely. It didn’t take long before I was dancing, flirting, and losing myself in the sea of bodies.

I didn’t care who I was talking to, as long as they could distract me from the ache in my chest. Then he caught my attention—a tall, broad-shouldered man with piercing eyes and an air of dominance that made my pulse race.

He had this confidence, this magnetism, that drew me in immediately. I smiled at him, and he returned it with a smirk that promised trouble. He leaned in, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine as he offered to buy me a drink.

For a moment, I thought I’d found my one

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Boy Toy

    Friends. That sounded perfect. It gave me time to deal with my mom’s expectations, Olivia’s meddling, and the chaos swirling around me. With Alex as just a friend, I could keep him close without complicating things any further. Or so I told myself. Now, sitting in a high-stakes conference room with Nathan Cross, the arrogance radiating from him was testing every ounce of patience I had left. We were negotiating a multi-billion-dollar contract—a deal that could solidify my position as one of the top players in this city. All I needed was for Nathan to sell me his land, and the numbers spoke for themselves. But his smug demeanor was driving me up the wall. “I’ll sign this contract,” Nathan said, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather, “if you let me have your boy toy.” The blood in my veins boiled. My wolf growled low, clawing at the edges of my control. Alex was my bottom line, the one person

  • Secret Infatuation   Alex- Secrets

    Liam’s presence was always larger than life, even when he was just sitting across from me in a quiet diner. I wasn’t sure if I was grateful or annoyed that he’d waited for me after the gym, but a part of me was thrilled, and a part of me didn’t want to admit to it. When he asked why I moved here, it caught me off guard. It wasn’t that I hadn’t expected the question eventually, but I hadn’t planned on answering it tonight. Yet, something about Liam made me feel safe. Like I didn’t have to keep everything locked up inside. “I needed a fresh start,” I told him, my fingers fiddling with the edge of my napkin. It was vague, but it was the truth. He nodded, his expression thoughtful. “That makes sense. Sometimes, a change of scenery is the best thing you can do for yourself.” His understanding made it easier to continue, though I kept it surface-level. “The city I li

  • Secret Infatuation   Alex- Possessiveness

    Nathan lingered at my side while I watched Liam and Olivia take their seats. My pulse was racing, and the sinking feeling in my gut deepened with every second Liam’s gaze stayed on me. It wasn’t just a glance. It was a deliberate, piercing look that demanded my attention. “You look rattled,” Nathan said, his tone light but laced with amusement. “Don’t tell me seeing him with her bothers you. I thought you said you were just friends.” I clenched my jaw, unwilling to let Nathan see how deeply the situation was affecting me. “I’m fine,” I muttered. “Let’s go.” But Nathan didn’t move. Instead, he leaned casually against the restaurant’s glass door, his smirk firmly in place. “You know, I’m starting to think Liam has more of a hold on you than you’re willing to admit.” I turned to him, my irritation bubbling to the surface. “You’re awfully interested in my relationship with Liam. Why?”

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Photograph

    The moment Olivia walked into the restaurant, I knew it wasn’t a coincidence. Her arrival felt calculated, her smile too perfect, and then she glided over to our table. My wolf bristled at her presence, and the energy between Alex and me immediately shifting at her arrival disrupted whatever connection we’d been forming. I clenched my jaw, and she slid into the booth next to me, her hand casually resting on my arm. “Liam, darling, fancy running into you here,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with fake innocence. Alex tensed across the table, his gaze darting between us. His body language screamed discomfort, and the conversation we were having just moments ago evaporated into the air. My patience was running thin. Alex left the cafe with a disappointed look on his face. I hated seeing him like this every time we talked. “Olivia,” I said curtly, turning my attention to her, “what do you really wa

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Red wolf

    The forest was eerily quiet as the evening stretched into night. The air was heavy, thick with the anticipation of the full moon's arrival. My house, nestled deep within the woods, felt more isolated than ever, its walls barely containing the storm brewing inside me. Tonight wasn’t just any night—it was a full moon, the one time of the month when my wolf demanded freedom, no matter how much I resisted. I’d called Olivia earlier and told her to meet me here. If she wanted to be part of my world, she needed to see it in its rawest, most dangerous form. It wasn’t a decision I’d made lightly, but her recent actions left me with little choice. If she wanted leverage over me, she’d have to understand exactly what she was dealing with. The sound of her car crunching over the gravel driveway broke the stillness. I stepped onto the porch, and she exited the car, her heels clicking against the stone path. She was dressed to impress, as always, though

  • Secret Infatuation   Alex- Black wolf

    The forest was peaceful, yet the energy from my earlier encounter with the massive black wolf lingered in my mind. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something significant had happened tonight. The wolf had been massive, powerful, yet completely non-threatening. It had approached me with a strange gentleness, as if it knew me or wanted me to know it. I chuckled softly to myself, shaking my head. “What the hell, Alex? Talking to a wolf like it’s a person. I need to get out more.” The thought of the wolf, though, lingered. The way it had allowed me to touch it, to stroke its fur without fear. I could still feel the coarse texture of its coat beneath my fingertips. It wasn’t just an animal; there was something more there. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt drawn to it. I made my way back toward the trail leading home, I thought about Liam. I hated how he constantly occupied my thoughts, even w

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- 2 weeks

    The ache in my muscles from the full moon shift was still fresh, but my mom’s gentle care had helped me recover faster than usual. She always knew exactly what to do to ease the strain on my body after the transformation, and her presence was a reminder that, no matter how much weight I carried, I wasn’t alone. But today, my mind wasn’t on recovery. It was on the red wolf. That unfamiliar scent from the night before still lingered in my memory, and I couldn’t shake the questions it raised. Who was it? Why was it here? And why did it step in to protect Alex? I set out into the forest surrounding my house, walking in my human form this time. The cool breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the scents of damp earth and the remnants of last night’s rain. I followed faint trails and claw marks, but the red wolf’s scent was faint, barely traceable. It was as if it had vanished into thin air. Just when I was about to give up and head toward Nathan Cross’s land, which was the mo

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Answers

    The two weeks ahead loomed like a storm cloud over my head, and I didn’t know how I would keep myself distracted. The thought of leaving Alex for that long was almost unbearable. Every fiber of my being wanted to stay, to linger in his presence, to make sure Nathan didn’t weasel his way into his life. But a deal was a deal, and I wasn’t one to go back on my word. I was sitting in my office, trying to drown myself in work, when a knock interrupted my thoughts. My assistant stepped in, carrying a manila envelope in her hands. “Here are the findings from the investigation into your background,” she said, placing it on the desk in front of me. “Thanks,” I replied curtly, waiting for her to leave before I picked it up. Sliding my finger under the flap, I pulled out the contents and froze. My heart skipped a beat when I stared at an old photograph. My mother stood there, smiling, next t

  • Secret Infatuation   Epilogue - One Year Later

    The sky above the coastal vineyard was the kind that poets wrote about soft, endless, and full of promise. Lanterns swayed in the gentle breeze, glowing gold and ivory among the trellises of wildflowers and roses. A white aisle stretched down the center of the garden, lined with velvet chairs filled with friends, pack elders, and family. It was a day long in the making. Marcus stood beneath a ceremonial arch, his eyes never leaving the woman gliding toward him. My mother looked ethereal in a fitted lace gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves, a delicate veil flowing behind her like mist. She held a bouquet of midnight roses and moon lilies flowers from their original mating ceremony long ago. This time, nothing stood between them. No duty. No council. Just love. When she reached him, Marcus took her hand with reverence, like she was a prayer come to life. “I once thought duty was the only thing that defined me,” Marcus said in his vows, voice thick with emotion. “But I was wrong

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Dangerous forgiveness

    Nathan cleared his throat, the atmosphere suddenly thick with tension—not the sexual kind, but the kind that draped heavy on the shoulders and twisted in the gut. He set his mug down with a soft *clink*, eyes finally locking with Alex's.“Look,” he began, his voice quieter, more gravel than usual. “I didn’t just come by for coffee and awkward questions.”Alex leaned against the counter, arms crossed. His posture was relaxed, but the cold edge in his eyes said he hadn’t forgotten a damn thing.Nathan exhaled. “I came to apologize. For what I did at the gala. For drugging you.”Olivia’s smile faded, and I stilled, watching Alex closely.Nathan continued. “It was a stupid business deal against Liam and myself. I let pride get the better of me. I thought if I could prove something—win against Liam. That I will matter more to you. I was wrong. I was *so* fucking wrong. And Liam knew your heart always belong to him.”Alex didn’t say anything at first. Just stared. The silence stretched unti

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Unspoken Truths and Unbuttoned Mornings

    The city skyline was cloaked in the soft gray of early dawn, light just beginning to chase away the darkness. The apartment was quiet, save for the hum of the HVAC and the faint rustle of sheets shifting as I stirred. Warmth radiated from both sides of me. Alex was nestled into my chest, one leg slung over mine, face buried in the crook of my neck. Olivia lay behind him, her arm lazily draped across his waist, the edge of her breast pressed to his back. Her breathing was slow, even. Last night had been fire and frenzy. This morning… was calm. Intimate. Still. I brushed my fingers through Alex’s hair, feeling him melt a little more into me. He let out a small contented sigh, the kind that sent a swell of something protective and aching through my chest. “Morning,” he murmured, voice sleep-rough and beautiful. “Hey,” I whispered back, kissing the top of his head. He stretched, then turned slightly, eyes fluttering open. They were soft and clear, the storm of lust from last night

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Amazing

    “Are you fucking kidding me? Mom, please tell me you’re not actually considering this foolery?” I shouted, my chair screeching as I jumped up from the table, fury bubbling up in my chest like lava. Mom met my outburst with a calm, steel-eyed look. “Liam, your father has never betrayed our bond. He’s stayed committed to me all this time—even from afar. So yes, I’m going to at least give him the time to try and make it right.” Her words hit me like a slap, and the conviction in her voice silenced the snarl on my lips. I clenched my fists, jaw tight, but I didn’t argue. Not because I agreed, but because I respected her enough to let her make her own choice. “Fine,” I muttered through gritted teeth, dropping back into the chair. “But I’m watching him. One wrong move…” She nodded, fully understanding the weight of my warning. Next to me, Alex squeezed my hand gently before rising. His tone was soft but certain, “Love, I’ll let you handle things with your family. I’m going to head

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Reunited

    The morning sun poured through the bay windows, casting soft, golden light across the room. It painted everything in a hazy warmth, but nothing in this world was more radiant than the man lying next to me.Alex.Even in sleep, he looked unfairly good. His hair was a tousled mess, lashes fanned out over flushed cheeks, and lips slightly parted. My fingers moved of their own accord, tracing the familiar lines of his face. His cheekbones, the curve of his nose, the soft dip of his collarbone. I knew every inch of him now, and still, I couldn’t stop memorizing.My heart felt like it could split open from the sheer weight of contentment. Of love.Until my fingers ghosted over a rough patch of skin beneath his jawline.A scar.An old one, but jagged and ugly. It didn’t belong there. Didn’t fit on something so beautiful.I stilled, my jaw tightening.I knew that scar. I knew the shape of it—like a twisted smile—and I knew who the hell gave it to him. Ryan.My wolf stirred, low and violent,

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- Acceptance

    Alex’s expression told me all I needed to know. Rejection. The very thing I had feared since the moment I found him again. Since the moment I let myself hope. I couldn’t take it. I bolted, running like my damn life depended on it. My pulse pounded in my ears, drowning out everything else. My chest ached, but I didn’t stop. I ran until the city lights disappeared behind me, until I reached the thick, dark forest surrounding my cabin. The shift came effortlessly. My wolf was already clawing to take control, too angry, too heartbroken to let me stay human any longer. He howled the moment I let him loose, a sound that echoed with pain. Not just mine, but his. He had loved Alex before I had even understood the depths of my own feelings. He had known, had waited, had longed for him just as much as I did. And now, rejection burned through both of us like fire. So I let him run. I let him sprint through the dense trees, his paws barely making a sound against the damp earth. Th

  • Secret Infatuation   Alex- Werewolf reveal

    I would say I was shocked, but that would be an understatement.The other night, I thought I was seeing things—just a trick of the light, my imagination running wild—when I saw a werewolf shift back into a man. And then Liam had come to the car.For him to stand here now, looking me in the eyes and admitting it out loud, my mind struggled to process it.A werewolf.Not just a metaphor. Not just some joke about his sharp instincts or uncanny ability to anticipate things before they happened. A real, actual, mythical, doesn’t-exist-outside-of-movies-and-legends werewolf.I didn’t realize I had stopped breathing until my lungs burned.Now I knew what Nathan meant when he said Liam was a monster.Monster.The word didn’t sit right. It felt…wrong.Because when I looked at Liam, standing there with that guarded expression, his fists clenched at his sides like he was bracing himself for me to run, I didn’t see a monster.But I didn’t know what to say.And Liam must have taken my silence as r

  • Secret Infatuation   Liam- No more secrets

    The drive was peaceful, filled with stories of Alex and Emma’s childhood—tales of scraped knees, mischievous pranks, and late-night adventures that had me chuckling more than once. It was easy to listen, easy to imagine him as that carefree kid with wild ideas and an even wilder heart. But there were moments between the laughter when his voice softened—memories that weren’t so light. Times when they struggled, when they had no one but each other. I envied Emma, in a way. She had been there for him when I wasn’t. As the miles stretched behind us, Alex eventually dozed off, curled up in the passenger seat. His breathing evened out, his body finally relaxing. I kept my eyes on the road, driving in silence while the hum of the tires filled the space between us. But as the evening settled in, my body tensed. The full moon was rising. I clenched my jaw, gripping the wheel tighter. This was the part of myself I never wanted Alex to see. Not yet. I hadn’t told him what I was—what l

  • Secret Infatuation   Alex- Morning after Choas

    The fire between us had simmered down into something quieter, something softer. After the kiss, neither of us spoke much. Liam just pulled me back onto the couch, tucking me against him like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go. I let him. His arms were warm around me, his heartbeat steady beneath my ear. Every so often, his fingers would trail over my back, absentmindedly tracing little circles, like he needed to reassure himself I was still there. I felt safe. And maybe that was dangerous. Because I could feel myself sinking into him, into this moment, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to claw my way back out. At some point, I must have dozed off again because the next thing I knew, I was waking up to the smell of coffee and something distinctly… burnt? Liam groaned behind me, his voice still thick with sleep. “Tell me that’s not your sister trying to kill us.” I blinked a few times, adjusting to the morning light streaming through the windows. “It’s possible.” A lo
