Jay’s POV

“Why the hell is it so important that you get the files today?” I asked as I unlocked the door to my office, trying to hide my irritation.

Jason followed behind me, practically glued to my shoulder. “I think my case file has been tampered with,” he said quickly. “I just need yours to cross-check. I think I’ve found a lead.”

I paused halfway through the door and turned to him, brows raised. “That’s all?” I asked, frowning. “I have it in PDF, Jason. I could’ve just emailed it to you.”

He scratched the back of his head, sheepish. “Oh. I had no idea.”

I sighed, the tension slowly bleeding from my shoulders. “That’s fine,” I muttered and stepped fully into the room.

I walked straight to the drawer where I kept all physical copies of my casework. My fingers skimmed over the neatly stacked files until I pulled out the one labeled with the same case ID as his. I handed it to him.

“Take pictures quickly,” I said, glancing at the time on the wall clock. “I have to be somewhere in abou

  • Sleeping with the Alpha Who Despised Me   Chapter 60

    Jay–POVI finally turned on the ignition, my hands shaking slightly as I gripped the wheel. The car roared back to life, and I pulled us back onto the road.The drive home was the longest, heaviest silence I had ever experienced in my life.I kept glancing at her from the corner of my eye. Her face was turned to the window, her tears leaving shiny trails on her cheeks. She wiped them away roughly with the back of her hand, but they just kept coming.I wanted to reach for her so badly. To pull her against my chest, to whisper that it was okay, that I’d protect her from everything and everyone, including her past.But I knew better.I knew River needed space right now more than anything else.I swallowed the lump in my throat and tightened my grip on the wheel. Every second that passed felt like a knife twisting in my gut.By the time we pulled into the driveway, my nerves were completely shot.I stopped the car and turned to her, hoping — praying — that she’d look at me, say something,

    Jay — POVI kept my hands tight on the wheel as I drove us home, the silence in the car so thick it felt like a living thing clawing at my skin.“Mind explaining to me what happened back there?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm, though the frustration was starting to bubble beneath the surface.She didn’t say a word. Didn’t even look at me. Her eyes were fixed straight ahead on the windshield, like she was watching a movie only she could see.Not this again.I felt my jaw clench. My fingers tightened on the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. I could feel the anger building in my chest, spreading like a fire.I slammed on the brakes abruptly, the car jerking forward so violently it pushed us into our seat belts.She turned to me sharply, her face twisted in anger. “What the hell, Jay?” she yelled, her voice shrill. “Are you trying to kill us or something?”“Oh, now she speaks,” I said flatly, my lips pulling into a thin, humorless line.She scoffed, rolling her eyes so

    Jay — POVShe looked like she’d seen a ghost.“Babe?” I called, my voice gentle at first.No response.“Babe?” I tried again, leaning a bit forward, searching her face.Still nothing. Her eyes stayed fixed on something behind me, wide and unblinking.“River!” I said more firmly this time, my voice slicing through the air.She jumped, her head snapping toward me as if she’d just woken up from a nightmare. Her eyes locked on mine, but something inside them had shifted. There was a wild storm there — panic, fear, something raw and sharp that I couldn’t quite place.“What’s got you worked up?” I asked, keeping my tone soft, trying to ground her.She just kept staring at me, her lips parted slightly, like she was struggling to find the right words.Then she whispered so quietly I almost didn’t catch it. “Can we go home, please?”I let out a short laugh, thinking she was joking. “You're joking, right?” I said, a grin tugging at the corner of my mouth.But her face stayed frozen, pale and dr

    River — POVI squinted at him suspiciously. “Jay…”He leaned down, pecking my forehead before stepping back and heading toward the door. “Stay right here,” he said, pointing at me like I was a child he was scolding — which only made me laugh more.Before I could argue, he slipped out of the room.I sat there, shaking my head and covering my face with my hands. Despite my protests, I could feel the excitement buzzing in my veins, that little tingle in my chest.He returned moments later, a mysterious grin on his face and a sleek designer bag dangling from his hand.“Oh my gosh, Jay!” I squealed, my eyes instantly lighting up.“Okay,” he said, dropping onto the bed beside me, that boyish excitement practically vibrating off him, “so… I got this dress a few days ago on my way to work. Figured you’d look gorgeous in it.”I gasped, practically jumping on him. “Thank you, baby!” I wrapped my arms around his neck and peppered his face with quick, messy kisses, giggling as I did. He laughed u

    River — POV _Six years later_ “Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday dear River… Happy birthday to you!”Their voices wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I opened my eyes slowly, already grinning as the sweet, slightly off-key melody filled my room.There they were — my little family.Hailey stood at the foot of the bed, her eyes twinkling with mischief and warmth. Jay was beside her, his deep voice a bit too serious, and right in front of them, standing proudly on the mattress, was Steven.My heart just about melted when I saw the tiny cake in his little hands, a single candle flickering unsteadily on top.“Blow your candle and make a wish, mama!” Steven squealed, his dimples deeper than ever as he beamed at me.“Okay, okay,” I laughed, sitting up straighter and reaching for the cake carefully. His small hands hovered underneath it for support, just in case.As I held the cake, I paused. What would I even wish for?I looked around my room — our room — and

  • Sleeping with the Alpha Who Despised Me   Chapter 55

    Zed – POVI sat beside her hospital bed, staring at her pale face. The machines around us hummed and beeped in a cruel, steady rhythm, like a reminder that she was still here... but not really.I reached for her hand and wrapped my fingers around it carefully, as if she might shatter if I squeezed too hard. It felt cold. Too cold."Today’s the day, Mama," I whispered, my voice cracking halfway through. "Today’s the coronation. They’re going to make me Alpha."I let out a shaky breath, pressing my lips together to keep from falling apart."Amber will be Luna, just like we always talked about," I said, forcing a small laugh. It sounded hollow even to my own ears. "You liked her, didn’t you? You used to say she had a strong spirit... that she’d make a good Luna. I wish you could see her today."I paused, looking at her face for any sign—an eye twitch, a finger move—anything. But she stayed still, like a statue carved from marble."I... I feel so lost, Mama," I continued, my thumb brushin
