TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Three hundred and two
A/N (To Alexandra)Dear Alexandra, thank you for reading and for your comment about not dragging Part Two. I hear you. I don’t plan to stretch this out unnecessarily.I actually didn’t plan a sequel at all. I’d have ended it with the first generation, but I was worried people wouldn’t stick around. Still, I’m keeping long-time readers in mind and moving the plot forward.On mobile platforms, daily updates, votes, and front-page reviews are what keep a book visible. The algorithm rewards consistency, so I can’t mass-release chapters or it’ll tank. I know you’ve helped with that, and I’m grateful.I hope you understand. I don’t take your support or anyone else’s for granted.Wesley POVThe sight of Grandma Cassidy made me feel like a mischievous little boy caught with his hand in the cake everyone had been warned not to touch until it was cut.Isabella, however, looked completely mortified. She couldn’t even stand there for another second.“I... excuse me.”She practically fled the kitc

Isabella POVWesley was talking about sex.I'd been around lewd men long enough to recognize that look they get when all they want is sex. It was a far cry from what my wolf felt every second she stood near him."There's something about you that makes me forget every reason I should keep my distance."The more he spoke, the more confused and certain I became.None of this made sense. He wanted me and was admitting it, so why did it feel like we were having two completely different conversations?And why wasn't he mentioning the bond?"That's too bad," I said. "No woman deserves to be cheated on."A restrained laugh escaped him. "You really think that's what this is?""What else am I supposed to think?""You're looking at me like you're trying very hard not to give in, yet you worry about how my partner feels."I turned away. Tears blurred my vision before I realized they were falling."It's really frustrating, you know. If you don't want me..." I whispered, "...say it.""Say it, and I

Isabella POV Day three in Accounting, and things couldn't have been going any better.It wasn't all smooth sailing as I'd been handed a mountain of files. But it wasn't the kind of stress that came from bullying or people going out of their way to make life difficult. No one was watching my every move anymore. I could get up to use the restroom without worrying I'd come back to find my work drenched in coffee.At first, I'd been reluctant to ask for help, worried people would think I was incompetent, especially when it came to things I genuinely didn't know. Harrison had been busy, and I didn't want to interrupt him, so I asked someone else on the team instead. He walked me through everything without mocking me or making me feel stupid. I hadn't realized how much I'd been expecting ridicule until it never came.As for Emerald, the devil in human form, she'd been called in for questioning. I couldn't stop myself from smiling when HR informed me they were investigating my complaint an

Wesley POVThe diner was one of those places Anita, Emma, and I had been coming to for years.Nothing fancy, but good food and booths that had somehow survived generations of people carving initials into the wood. We tried to meet there at least once every two weeks whenever our schedules lined up. Most of the time it was Anita dragging Emma and me out of the office, insisting fresh air was as important as paperwork.Tonight wasn't any different.My stomach hadn't completely forgiven me for breakfast, so while the girls ordered steaks, I settled for grilled fish, rice, and vegetables.Emma looked at my plate."Never trust a chef who says, 'It's only a little spicy.'"The conversation drifted easily after that. We talked about whatever had happened since the last time we sat together, and I eventually brought up Barbara's idea."I think we're going to do something different for Beatrice's anniversary this year," I said. "Barbara suggested we spend the day doing the things Beatrice love

Wesley POV The conference room slowly emptied after the meeting with the supervisors from the oil fields. Chairs scraped against the floor and conversations drifted toward the hallway as the men headed back to their respective sites.I was making a few notes on the production reports before filing them away when the door opened and Barbara stepped inside carrying a large cream-colored gift bag with neatly tied handles.I looked up and smiled."I thought the meeting would never end.""It almost didn't," I said, getting to my feet as she walked around to my side of the table and hugged me.One of the supervisors poked his head back through the doorway."Alpha Wesley, the oil spill from this morning has been fully contained. The cleanup crew finished about twenty minutes ago.""Good. Keep me updated if anything changes.""Of course."He disappeared again, finally leaving Barbara and me alone.I pointed toward one of the chairs across from my desk."Sit."She did, setting the gift bag ca

Isabella POV Wesley’s voice pulled me back so suddenly that I almost jumped. He was looking at me."I..." I swallowed, forcing myself to remember why I'd come. "Miss Emma asked me to bring this over for your approval."He crooked a finger. I walked to the desk and placed the folder in front of him.He opened it, scanning the contents while I stood there."So..." he said without looking up, "you're upstairs now."There was a smile in his voice before I even saw it reach his face.I nodded.He signed one page, flipped to the next, then looked up. His gaze settled on me far longer than necessary. It was neither polite nor accidental. His eyes traveled over me slowly enough that heat climbed into my face despite my best efforts to stay composed."I don't think you realize how distracting you are."He rested the pen against the desk."You walk into a room looking like that and somehow seem completely unaware of the effect you have on people."I stared at him, unsure what to think. My hear

LISA POVThe digital numbers on my alarm clock glowed a steady red. I watched them tick by from 5:59 to 6:00. My skin felt cold, and a dull ache rested at the back of my eyes after spending the night awake. I could hear the muffled sound of the television.I headed for the door. The living room was

Lisa POVI didn’t even get the chance to tell anyone my period had started. No sign of Franklin or Nadia all day.Franklin finally knocked on my door the following afternoon.“Come in,” I called, pushing off the bed.He opened the door but stayed in the hallway, one hand resting on the frame as if h

Lisa POVI sat in the back seat while Franklin drove, my hands folded in my lap like a child being brought home from school.The hospital disappeared behind us, but I could still feel Evangeline’s cold fingers wrapped around mine.She had called me sister.I stared through the window as the city sli

The Alpha house felt like I was entering it for the first time. Maids walked past me. Guards were posted at every corner, their eyes scanning the corridors. One thing was clear. Alpha Cameron was in the building.The four of us were in the main corridor like a line of silent competitors. Brianna had
