~HOLLY~

The moment we step into the kitchen, the air shifts.

It’s still charged—how could it not be after that?—but now it’s lighter too. Warmer. Playful.

Domestic… in a way that makes my chest feel all soft and strange.

Damien leans against the counter like he owns the place, watching me with that same dangerous smile, like he’s already planning trouble.

“Alright,” I say, tying my hair up into a loose bun, trying to look focused even though I can feel his eyes all over me.

  • Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father   STAY AWAY FROM ME

    ~HOLLY~Avoiding them is harder than I thought.It sounded simple in my head… stay out of their way, keep things distant, don’t give either of them a reason to pull me back in.But reality?Reality is cruel.Because this house… isn’t big enough to escape people like Damien and Gabriel.And nothing about this feels simple anymore.Because no matter how careful I try to be… they’re always there.And somehow, I’m always right in the middle of them.~~~~By midday, I convince myself I need air.Real air… not the kind that feels heavy with tension and everything left unsaid.Not just air… space.Something that doesn’t feel like it’s pressing down on my chest.So I step outside.The garden is quiet, almost too quiet, but it’s better than being inside those walls filled with tension and unspoken words.The soft rustle of leaves is the only sound around me.The flowers in the garden are so pretty, and staring at it brings some peace into my stormy heart.I walk slowly

  • Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father   DISTANCE

    ~HOLLY~Morning comes too quickly, and I don’t think I actually slept.Maybe my body shut down at some point, but my mind… my mind stayed wide awake, replaying everything over and over again like a cruel loop I couldn’t escape.Gabriel’s voice.“I still do… and I still want you.”Damien’s rage.The way the door slammed open.The way his eyes looked at me… not just angry, but something deeper. Something darker. Something that made my chest tighten even now.I exhale slowly, staring at my reflection in the mirror.“You need to get it together,” I whisper to myself.Because hiding in this room forever isn’t an option.Eventually, I have to face them.Both of them.I turn away from the mirror and walk into the bathroom, closing the door softly behind me like I’m trying not to disturb the chaos in my own head.The moment I step under the shower and the warm water hits my skin… I finally breathe.Really breathe.My eyes slide shut as the water runs down my body, wa

  • Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father   WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME TO STRIKE

    The room is too quiet….the kind of silence that is heavy and suffocating.Like the air itself is waiting… watching… anticipating something violent.Nicholas stands exactly where Alvin had left him.He's standing by the window, unmoving and unblinking.The city stretched out beneath him, glowing with artificial life….cars moving, and people laughing.His reflection stared back at him from the glass….cold, sharp and unforgiving.But beneath that stillness…Aether is pacing…. restless, irritated, and furious.‘He’s taking too long,’ his wolf growls darkly. ‘We should’ve gone ourselves.’Nicholas doesn’t respond….not yet.Because he's listening, waiting, and tracking.Every second that passes without Alvin returning tightens something inside him…slowly coiling it into something dangerous.Then, the door opens.Nicholas doesn't turn, because he doesn't need to.He already knows it's Alvin, because the scent hit first, the sound of the door clicking shut, and then footsteps…. slow, careful,

  • Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father   CLAIM HER COMPLETELY

    ~DAMIEN~The moment I tell Gabriel to take her to the guest room…Lucian snarls.It’s not subtle. It’s not controlled.It’s immediate.‘That was a mistake.’His voice rips through my head, deep and sharp, filled with disapproval.My jaw tightens as I watch Gabriel turn, Holly following him quietly like she doesn’t trust her own footing.‘You’re pushing them together,’ Lucian continues, pacing restlessly in the back of my mind. ‘Is that what you want? To watch your son take what is yours?’My fingers curl slightly at my sides.“It’s not like that,” I reply through the mind link, my tone clipped, controlled.Lucian lets out a low, dangerous growl.‘Then explain.’I exhale slowly, forcing my shoulders to stay relaxed, even though every instinct in me is screaming otherwise.“He needed space,” I tell him. “If I had taken her myself… he would have felt something.”Lucian goes quiet for half a second.Then…‘Felt what?’I glance toward the hallway they disappeared

  • Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father   IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A COINCIDENCE

    It hadn’t felt right.That’s what kept replaying in his head as he walked her down to the room.Because earlier that night… Gabriel hadn’t been asleep.He had been lying exactly the same way he always does… staring at the ceiling, lost in thoughts he couldn’t escape.And then he heard the front door opening in a soft and careful way.Almost like someone didn’t want to be noticed.His brows had furrowed instantly, because his father doesn’t sneak.Damien Blackwood doesn’t move quietly.He doesn’t hide.He doesn’t leave the house in the middle of the night like a man with something to conceal.But tonight… he did.Gabriel had sat up slowly, his heart beating just a little faster, listening to the faint around of footsteps.Then silence.And then, the door closing.He had gotten out of bed almost immediately, walked to his window, and there it was.His father’s car… pulling out of the driveway….fast, purposeful, and reckless.Like he knew exactly where he was going.Gabriel had frowned,
