Cassidy still sounded strained over the phone, like I was interrupting her. Before, that would have made me anxious. Now I knew better.

"I wanted to confirm tomorrow."

"It's still tomorrow."

"I know. I mean... should Alpha Kieran's guard drop me at your place?"

A short silence followed.

"Yes. Eight-thirty. One second late and you're on your own."

"I'll be there."

The call ended before I could say anything else.

For someone who claimed she didn't want company, she seemed to be getting more beara

  • TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS    Three hundred and twenty two

    I glanced at the clock. There were still hours until morning. I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of ice-cold water, then sat on the plastic chair and pressed it against my thighs, hoping to cool down. I held it there until my fingers went numb from the cold, but even that couldn't chase the heat away.I'd never felt this helpless before. I wanted to scream, but I clamped a hand over my mouth instead. My shoulders shook as I fought to stay quiet, tears slipping down my cheeks. I wiped them away and forced myself to breathe. Crying never changed anything, and I hated myself for doing it anyway.Every scent seemed sharper. Even my own scent smelled different.By morning, I'd barely slept. Heaviness dragged through my body, leaving my legs weak and my head aching. Getting dressed took longer than usual as I tried to hide the shadows beneath my eyes, changing outfits until I found something that wouldn't cling to my skin.I forced myself to eat, then tied my hair away from my neck, e

    Isabella POVThe silence between Harrison and me had reached the point where we simply didn't speak to each other anymore. Iris stopped pretending she didn't notice and tried bringing it up several times."You two barely look at each other. Did something happen at work?”I fished my keys from my bag. "No.""Did you reject his advances?"I shook my head."Then what happened?""Why don't you ask him?" I said, opening my door and heading into my room.Later that evening, she sent a text.Come to my room. I want to show you something.I looked down at the purple sleepwear I was wearing, one of the few things I'd bought with my first salary. I tied the rope around my waist and headed to her room. I opened the door without knocking and found Harrison sprawled across the only chair, flipping through television channels with the remote in one hand while eating roasted peanuts with the other.He sat up when he saw me."I'll be right back," he told Iris.Iris stepped in front of him."You're n

    Isabella POV "Guess we can stop pretending now."Wesley's words made me nudge him, silently begging him not to make this worse. But Wesley, in his usual fashion, didn't seem to care.With Harrison standing there, the covered plate still in his hands, I didn't know what to say, except that I had somehow turned everything into a tangled mess. How could I explain that the future Alpha was my mate? That he was the man I couldn't stop thinking about? That we'd already been kissing long before Wesley singled Harrison out?"Good evening, Alpha Wesley."Harrison straightened and cleared his throat. His voice stayed level.He held the plate toward me."I brought you some food."I reached for it, but my hands shook so badly the plate almost slipped."Thank you," I whispered.He nodded and walked away. Wesley wore a knowing grin as Harrison's footsteps faded down the corridor."Why does he look so shocked? Didn't see that coming, did he?"I closed my eyes and dragged in a breath. Wesley raised

    Isabella POVThe breeze pouring through the open windows tossed my hair, cooling my scalp as I sat in the passenger seat while Wesley drove us back to the staff lodge. Maverick drifted between sleep and wakefulness in the back seat. The poor kid had been running around since morning, and I knew he would sleep for hours the moment his head touched a pillow. He still clutched the plastic dinosaur Wesley had bought him, and I knew he wouldn't forget today for a very long time.It almost brought tears to my eyes. Not long ago, the two of us had been trapped in my father's house. All my son had known was fear and how to run into my arms whenever voices got too loud. At least he wouldn't grow up reliving my life. We would build one of our own.The silence in the car felt easy, making me wish the drive would never end."We could stop by my place for a while," Wesley said, so casually it almost felt as though he'd read my mind. One hand rested on the steering wheel while the other tapped agai

    Isabella POVThe relief on Harrison's face as he dropped into the chair beside my desk made me hide a smile. He looked like someone who had just won the lottery."He approved it," he said, still sounding like he couldn't believe it himself. "He said, GOOD JOB. The same report he rejected twice."I smiled into my coffee. "See? I told you it would work out."Harrison kept shaking his head. "It was like someone swapped him overnight. I swear that fucker is bipolar. It's like he has a switch in his head."I pretended to share his confusion, but my thoughts drifted elsewhere. All I could think about was Wesley's hands, the softness of his lips, and my body wanting more.I hid the smile threatening to betray me behind my mug."Let's just hope he never remembers I exist again," Harrison muttered, making me chuckle.That was the beginning of my ravenous desire for Wesley's touch.I found reasons to pass by his office, and he too always found reasons to send cues that he was free, pulling me b

    Isabella POV Payroll was finally over, and the Accounting Department's mountain of reports was gone. The office felt alive again. People chatted across desks, wandered over to swap stories, and even Emma took Monday off after surviving payroll week.One of the women had the office laughing with a story about her cousin's wedding and the possessive mother-in-law who nearly ruined the ceremony because she couldn't stand another woman "stealing" her son. Across the room, two coworkers argued over who deserved annual leave first. Their voices kept rising, but everyone knew they were playing around, laughing as each insisted their vacation mattered more.Harrison dragged an empty chair to my desk and slipped into the chatter like he always did. He bounced from one conversation to another while finishing the last of his work, tossing out jokes before returning to his spreadsheets. I had no idea how he got anything done.I noticed he went quiet and stared at his monitor, his frown deepening

    CameronI woke in the middle of the night in a hotel room drenched in sweat and painfully hard. My wolf snarled inside my head, pacing and demanding that I go to Lisa. Not Evangeline, not my mate waiting at home, but Lisa. The urge hit with such force it bordered on pain. I sat up in the dark grippi

    Franklin POVCameron thought I had feelings for Lisa.The idea was almost funny. Not because Lisa wasn’t likable. She was beautiful, kind, and stronger than she gave herself credit for. Under different circumstances, maybe I could have developed feelings for her.But that wasn’t what was happening.

    LISA POVMy heart gave that stupid skip when he looked at me.Cameron didn’t move. He stood on the stairs with one hand on the railing, watching me with the kind of focus that made my skin prickle.I gave him a short nod, the same acknowledgment I would give any authority figure, and started toward

    LISA POVI stood outside my bedroom door at five forty-five in the morning, already dressed in running gear, seriously considering backing out of the pack run Franklin had invited me to. It had seemed like a good idea yesterday, something to fill my days with besides waiting for Cameron.Now the rea
