River POV

“Why not?” he asked. “It’s the truth. I want you, River. I don’t want to lose whatever this is.” He leaned forward, the space between us shrinking. “I want more than that one night.”

My heart lurched and my brain screamed. This was dangerous. This was everything I’d tried to avoid and somehow exactly what my body remembered wanting. I bit my lip and looked down at my hands.

“Zed,” I breathed, “this is messy. There’s Jay, there’s everything. You know that.”

He stared at me for a long moment with a look I couldn’t quite place. His voice dropped low. “Why didn’t you tell me he was mine?”

I turned to him sharply. “What?”

“Steven,” he whispered. His jaw tightened. “Why didn’t you tell me he was mine?”

I let out a heavy sigh, my chest tightening as I looked away. My throat burned, but I forced the tears not to fall. Instead, I laughed bitterly. “To think you can sit there and ask me such a question,” I said, finally turning back to meet his eyes.

“What do you—”

Also, regardless of the man, if he chooses or has been with my sister, it should have been a no go from the start. Having the couple "forced" to be together because of the bond and drug is such a let down. The bond was never enough, why should it be now? Obv because River has a son

  • Sleeping with the Alpha Who Despised Me   Chapter 188

    River POVSteven’s voice rang out before Jay could say another word.“Mummy, are you still here?”I turned sharply, relief and irritation washing over me at the same time. The boy’s timing was uncanny,like the moon itself had sent him to save me from the awkwardness that filled the room at that moment. Jay was standing there, face red, lips pressed into a thin line, eyes sharp with a mixture of regret and anger. His jaw twitched as if he wanted to say more, maybe shout, maybe beg louder, maybe even cry, but the sound of Steven’s feet thudding down the stairs cut through the tension.I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding.Steven burst into the living room, bag slung over his shoulder, his grin wide. “I’m ready now!” He stopped midway when he saw Jay standing stiff beside me. His head tilted a little, suspicion clouding his innocent eyes. “Uncle Jay?&

    Jay POV I felt the air leave my lungs as River’s words cut through me like a blade.“I’m sorry, Jay. But this is the end of our relationship.”No. No. That couldn’t be it. That couldn’t be the last thing she said to me, not after everything we’d been through.My chest tightened painfully. I took a shaky step forward, my hands reaching for hers again, desperate for her to just listen. But she stepped back, her eyes cold, detached, like I was already nothing more than a stranger.“River, please,” I begged, my voice raw. “Don’t do this. Don’t just… end us like this. I screwed up, I know I did, but I can fix it. I’ll prove myself. Just give me a chance.”She shook her head slowly, like she’d already rehearsed this moment in her mind. “You had your chance. And you chose to waste it,” she said, “leaving me is one thing, but sleeping with the one person you damn well know put me through hell is another.”Her calmness scared me more than if she’d screamed. If she’d yelled, cursed, thrown so

    River POV The moment I stepped out of the car, I quickened my pace, rushing into the house like I was racing against time. My bag slipped off my shoulder, and I dropped it with a soft thud on the coffee table before collapsing onto the couch beside Hailey.She was curled up on one end, the TV flickering across her face. She barely turned her head, offering me a small smile.“Hey,” she greeted.“Hey,” I breathed, forcing a tired smile of my own. “Are you done for the day?” she asked, eyes darting briefly my way before returning to the screen.I groaned, sinking deeper into the cushion. “I wish. I’ve got an appointment in about an hour. I just need Steven to be ready so I can drop him at the house before heading out. Honestly, I don’t want to be late.”Hailey let out a little laugh, shaking her head knowingly. “There’s a fat chance he’s ready. The boy bolted upstairs the second he heard your car,” she said, “that alone should tell you he isn't prepared at all.”I tilted my head back an

    River’s POVThe sheets were still warm, my skin tingling everywhere Zed had touched me. My heart was still racing, trying to catch up with everything that just happened between us.But then, footsteps.Panic shot through me like ice water. My wolf senses sharpened instantly, and I scrambled off the bed. “Quick, quick,you have to hide,” I hissed, spinning toward him.He didn’t move. He just sat there, completely naked, sprawled in my bed like he owned it, watching me with that infuriatingly calm expression. “What the hell are you still doing? Come on!” I urged, waving my hands toward the corner of the room.Zed raised an eyebrow, his tone annoyingly casual. “Why the hell do I have to hide, River? We aren’t kids sneaking around anymore.”I snatched my nightdress from the chair and shoved it over my head, fumbling with the straps. “Yes, we aren’t,” I admitted breathlessly, “but do you know how awkward it would be for my boyfriend’s sister to walk in on me with another man?”He tilted his

    Zed POVThe second her lips parted under mine, something inside me snapped. The hunger I’d been holding back for years tore free, raw and unrelenting. I couldn’t stop myself even if I wanted to. Her taste, her warmth, her softness, everything about River pulled me under like a tide I never wanted to fight.She gasped against my mouth, and I swallowed the sound as I pressed her closer, lifting her with an ease that felt natural. Her arms flew around my neck, clinging like she needed me as badly as I needed her. Without breaking the kiss, I carried her, stumbling into her bedroom, my wolf howling in my chest like it had finally found home.The moment her back hit the bed, we tumbled together in a mess of hands and lips. My mouth trailed down her throat, catching the hitch of her breath, the small desperate sounds that made me tremble. She was on fire, and I was already burning.“Zed…” she whispered, half a plea, half surrender.That was all I needed. I claimed her. Every thrust, every k
