TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Three hundred and sixty three
Barbara POVAlpha Desmond insisted I stay the night because the train back was no longer an option. He gestured toward the guest rooms without leaving room for an argument. I had planned to lodge at a hotel, but I didn't want him getting annoyed because I refused his hospitality, so I accepted.When I got to the room, I shut the door and turned the key until it clicked, then dragged a wooden chair across the floor and blocked the door with it. I wasn't taking chances with a pervert like Desmond.The bedsheets felt like nails against my skin when I lay back. I sat instead, resting my back against the wall, and fixed my eyes on the ceiling.My mouth twitched into a half smile.The pieces were moving now.I had tracked down Maverick's father and handed him the spark he needed to turn his rage against the people standing between him and his son.Desmond didn't care about Isabella. That was obvious. His eyes had darkened only when I mentioned Alpha Cameron and his son being interested in M

Isabella POVIt was clear that Wesley and Charlie weren't speaking.They sat at the same table, answered when someone addressed them, and behaved well enough that nobody older seemed to notice anything was wrong. I was relieved they had enough sense not to turn their argument into a family spectacle.Charlie had been stupid. There was no denying that. But I had also seen enough of him to know that he loved Wesley. Barbara had found the part of him that wanted to protect people and used it against him.Still, I understood why Wesley was hurt. If his relationship with Barbara had been real, could he have looked Charlie in the eye after learning that he had slept with her? Could he have stood beside him and pretended nothing had happened?I didn't think so.Across the table, Luna Lisa caught my eye. She made a small gesture toward the doorway.I leaned toward Wesley. "I'm going to use the restroom."He nodded without looking away from his conversation with Anita. I left the dining room a

Barbara POVThe scenery changed through the train window as we moved farther from the city. Buildings gradually gave way to stretches of greenery, with trees lining the tracks and tall grass brushing against the railway embankments. The metal rails ran beside us, disappearing into the distance as the train carried me toward Blood Moon Pack.My parents had asked where I was going when I left. I told them it was work-related. They didn't question me further, which suited me. They had enough problems of their own after Luna Lisa's summons.They had no idea I was going to find Maverick's father—the Almighty Alpha Desmond, whom Isabella had spent years running from.I needed to find him before everyone else decided what Maverick's future would look like. If Isabella and Wesley were truly mates, it was only a matter of time before Maverick became part of Wesley's family. I didn't know exactly what would happen, but I knew the boy's position would change.The thought made my stomach churn.F

Isabella POV Wesley's head rested on my lap as my fingers moved through his hair, massaging his scalp while he stared at the ceiling. He had been calmer since everything that happened with Charlie and Barbara, though I could sense the tension beneath his silence."What are you going to do about Charlie?" I asked. "Do you hate him now?"He turned his head slightly to look at me. "I could never hate Charlie."That answer surprised me."He was a coward," he added. "I've never known him to hide things from me, especially something this big. I'm angry with him, but I won't force myself to get over it because everyone thinks I should. I'll deal with it when I'm ready."I continued running my fingers through his hair."Do you think Barbara is obsessed with you?"He chuckled. "I never saw it that way before. I thought she was hurt and refused to accept that things were over. Now I'm not so sure."He shifted on my lap."She's still trying to reach me. I've blocked her number, but she keeps ca

Barbara POV Isabella walked away without looking back. Not even a glance. The dismissal burned worse than any insult. I clenched my teeth and followed my parents toward the meeting room. I’d disliked people before, even wanted some of them ruined, but I had never hated anyone the way I hated Isabella. I wanted her gone, that smug confidence wiped from her face. I wanted to strip away everything she’d gained and watch her crawl back to the life she came from.The thought gave me grim satisfaction.Who did she think she was? Some golden girl who could simply sashay into Wesley’s life?My fingers curled against my palms. I would find a way to destroy her. And the sooner I did, the better.I followed my parents into the meeting room, anger sitting beneath my skin. My father's steps had slowed and fear showed in every movement.Coward.From the moment we received the summons, he had barely slept. He paced around the house, imagining everything Luna Lisa could accuse us of. My mother had

Isabella POV About an hour later, my stomach protested the fact that I had barely eaten. I slipped into the kitchen, took two slices of bread, spread jam across them, and reached for a drink.Footsteps approached behind me. I turned and found Charlie standing in the doorway.My discomfort grew. Charlie didn’t seem like a bad person, but after everything that had happened, I couldn’t stop thinking about what he’d done to Wesley and how close he was to losing the friendship he valued so deeply. Hearing his conversation with Anita hadn’t helped either.He remained by the door for a moment before approaching the island."I don't expect you to think highly of me after today."I lowered my gaze to the bread."Wesley was right. It doesn't matter that he and Barbara weren't actually together. I should have known better."I spread more jam across the bread."Do you want some?"He looked at me, surprised by the offer."Maybe a slice or two before I hit the road wouldn't hurt."I handed him a p

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

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

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
