I didn’t realize how long I’d been sitting on that cold bench until my fingers began to lose feeling. The silence of the clinic hallway buzzed in my ears, like a vacuum trying to swallow me whole. My body was drained from using so much healing power… but this ache, this emptiness inside, it wasn’t from magic.

It was from the absence of people who were supposed to love me.

And in that stillness, I whispered aloud like a child again.

“I wish Mira were here…”

My voice cracked as I said it, but it was the truest thing I had felt in days. My sister was my only real safe space. Mira was older than me by seven years, and yet she had never made me feel small. When our father was cold and calculating, Mira was warmth. When I never felt the love of a mother, Mira was the one who tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

I swallowed hard, my eyes blurring with fresh tears. It had been so long since I had seen her. So long since she pulled me into one of her arms, grounding hugs and telling me everyth

  • THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE   THE EDGE OF TRUTH

    Morning returned heavy and gray, as though the night had not truly ended. The air inside the mansion felt colder than usual, carrying the faint smell of rain that hadn’t yet fallen.Darius had not moved from his chair since the early hours. He sat at his desk, elbows on the surface, his fingers pressed against his forehead. He could still hear Tessa’s whisper as clear as if she stood in front of him now.He watches. He waits. The blood remembers its oath.The words wouldn’t leave his head.He had heard Ember’s soft gasp too, the way her breath caught when she realized she wasn’t alone. It was not fear in her sound, it was heartbreak, the kind that came from knowing something terrible about someone you wanted to believe in.A knock broke through his thoughts.Gamma entered quietly. His face showed the same exhaustion that had settled on everyone lately, like they were all running from something they couldn’t see.“You didn’t rest again,” Gamma said gently.“Could you, if you were me?”

  • THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE   WHEN SHADOWS SPEAK

    The following morning came with a cold stillness that wrapped the mansion in quiet. It was the kind of morning that felt like a warning, when even the wind seemed to wait before it breathed again.Darius hadn’t closed his eyes all night. He sat behind his desk still wearing the same clothes from the day before, his shirt wrinkled, the faint smell of smoke clinging to him from the candles that had burned to nothing while he thought through every possible outcome.The name Reailks echoed through his mind like a curse.He had heard it again, clear, soft, from Tessa’s lips. That one whisper had undone every thread of peace he had been trying to hold together.He looked up when the door opened. Gamma entered quietly, carrying two cups of strong black coffee. His face said he hadn’t slept either.“You look worse than me,” Darius muttered with a dry, humorless smile.Gamma set the coffee down on the table. “I could say the same for you.”They stood there for a moment, neither reaching for th

  • THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE   SILENT BETRAYAL

    The sun rose slow that morning, it is light dull and weak through the mist that rolled over the trees. Darius had not slept. His eyes were red from long hours of pacing, from the echoes of a voice he could not erase. Tessa’s whisper clung to his mind, curling through every thought until he could no longer tell where his suspicion ended and truth began.Reailks.The name sounded different now that he had heard it spoken by her. It was no longer a mystery from his past, it was a living thing breathing through the halls of his home.He stood by the window in his office, his fingers resting on the cold glass. Outside, he could see the training grounds where the younger wolves had already begun their morning drills. Their laughter should have filled him with pride, but instead it felt like a lie, as if they were playing on a battlefield they did not yet know existed.A quiet knock sounded.“Come in,” Darius said without turning.Gamma entered, his face drawn, his steps careful. “Alpha, I w

  • THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE   FRACTURED TRUST

    The night was quiet but inside the mansion everything carried a weight that could break even the strongest spirit. Ember had not slept, her eyes heavy with exhaustion, yet her heart refused to let her close them. Madeline’s shallow breathing filled the room, the kind of fragile sound that reminded Ember of glass ready to shatter.She sat by the bedside, hands folded together, watching her sister-in-law with a mix of fear and stubborn love. The glow of the lamp at the corner cast long shadows on the wall, making the room feel smaller.Then it happened.Madeline stirred. Her fingers twitched against the sheets and her lips moved faintly. Ember leaned closer, tightening her hold around Madeline’s hand.“Madeline,” she whispered softly, “I am right here.”The younger woman’s eyes fluttered open, unfocused at first, then catching Ember’s face. A faint tremor passed through her body. Her lips parted and words stumbled out, broken but urgent.“They are here… closer than you think… Velise say

  • THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE   SHADOWS BETWEEN US

    The morning was quiet. Too quiet for Ember.She sat on the edge of the clinic bed, her hands twisting in her lap, staring at the pale line of sunlight that crept across the floorboards. For days now, she has not rested. Not truly. Every time she closed her eyes, something pushed her awake—the sound of her wolf growling inside, the echo of Velise’s whisper, or the heavy footsteps outside Kellan’s ward. But most of all… Tessa’s presence.Kaila wouldn’t calm. Not once. Every time Ember walked too close to her former friend’s room, her chest tightened, her skin prickled, and nausea curled through her like poison. Her wolf hated it. She hated it. Yet everyone else seemed blinded by Tessa’s sudden redemption. The way she had saved Kellan’s life. The way she had cried, begged, exhausted herself just to help.But Ember knew better. She felt it in her bones.The door opened softly. Gamma stepped inside, his broad shoulders heavy with something he wasn’t ready to say. His eyes flickered to her

  • THE ALPHA’S RELUCTANT BRIDE   UNREVEALED VISION

    Darius sat behind his desk, the office dim with the soft glow of morning sunlight filtering through the large glass windows. Papers were stacked in neat but untouched piles. His eyes were fixed on a report in front of him, but his mind wasn’t in the room. It hadn’t been for days, his feeling for his best and close cousin, his beta has been too much on him to even think straight of the situation on ground even now he was thinking of cancelling the tournament, but he feels kellan won't be happy about it, but if worst get to worst he might probably just cancel the tournament and announce a lock down on his boarder to isolate himself.Ever since Kellan stirred from his coma, Darius had tried to shift gears, focus again on his duties. But something gnawed at him. The relief of seeing Kellan open his eyes hadn’t cleared the storm in his chest. And the way Tessa had acted..heroic, selfless, too convenient..left a lingering shadow of suspicion, no matter how much the others wanted to believe
