By the time I reach my stop, last night’s dream is still fresh, front and centre in my thoughts.

A crescent moon too low in the sky, a pitch black forest below. There are wolves, howling together in a haunting, bone-deep melody.

Let’s shake that off right now.

Hopping off the bus and rounding the corner to the office, my phone buzzes. It’s Emma.

‘Coffee shop. Around the corner. NOW.’

I sigh, but a smile tugs at my lips. Emma’s love for coffee is as relentless as her ability to sniff out drama,

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Logan | Pain Management

    I push some of my energy into her. Just the finest thread at first, testing, feeling my way through the broken landscape of her body. Fae energy moves through her like water, seeking out the places where she's damaged. What I find makes my jaw clench. Her pelvis is shattered alright, the bones fractured in ways that are going to take months to heal, and I can sense the torn tissue around it, inflammation, her body trying desperately to repair itself and failing. Her ribs are cracked, not broken but close. There's bruising deep in the muscle, still bleeding from tiny tears and will hurt like hell for weeks. I can feel the pain radiating from every injury, sharp and relentless. It takes everything I have not to pull my hand back and scorch the city with my vengeance alone. I can't heal her. That's not my gift.Healing’s delicate work, precise, and it's not my gift. As much as I want to, I cannot give her that. The call is already out though. I have an exceptionally skilled cousin who

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Logan | The Bedside

    This hospital chair’s uncomfortable as fuck, which seems fitting given that everything else about this situation is equally unbearable. My body’s folded into this plastic and metal monstrosity that was very clearly designed by a moron who’s never sat in a chair before. Hours I've been sat here, the whole time my hands clasped together so tightly in front of me that my knuckles have long gone white. The pressure of keeping them locked together like this is the only thing stopping me from putting my fist through the wall, or the window, or the face of whoever did this to her. Earlier, the trembling started in my fingers, it’s since worked its way up through my wrists, my forearms, and settled in my shoulders where it’s a coiled, living, breathing thing. Fear isn’t my thing, this is rage. Pure, distilled, barely contained rage. It’s taking every ounce of control I have to keep it from spilling over into something catastrophic.Emma lies in the bed in front of me, and the sight of her

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Thorne | Not Now, Not Ever!

    Logan nods slowly, his expression grim. "Alright. But we do this my way. No running off half-cocked, no tearing the city apart until we have a plan. Agreed?"I want to argue, want to tell him to fuck off and let me handle this my way, but I know he's right. Cain's been planning this for too long, and if I go in blind, I'll just make things worse. So I nod, even though it feels like swallowing glass."Agreed," I say. "Right now, I need to focus on her. Make sure she's safe. Then we'll deal with Cain."Logan's expression softens slightly, and he nods. "Fair enough. We'll regroup in the morning. For now, just... be there for her. She needs you."Bam's jaw tightens, his hand curling into a fist on the table. The casual ease he had moments ago evaporates, replaced by something harder, more focused."So what's the play?" he asks.I lean forward, my elbows resting on the table, my mind already working through the possibilities, the strategies, the ways to turn this around and make Cain regre

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Thorne | Cain

    Bam looks up, his brow furrowing in confusion."What is it then?" he asks.Logan glances at me, then back at Bam, his voice taking on that lecturing tone he gets when he's explaining something he finds fascinating. There's a precision to it, the way he breaks things down into their component parts."A familiar," he says. "Bound to someone, probably Maci or someone in her bloodline. They can communicate through energy, act as protectors or messengers, and they're a hell of a lot smarter than any normal animal. I tried to reach out to it, and it pushed back. Gave me one word."He pauses, his eyes locking onto mine."Cain," he says.The name lands like a punch to the gut, and I feel the wolf stir, a low growl rumbling in my chest before I can stop it. Cain. Of course it's Cain. It's always Cain. My brother, the snake, the one who's been circling the council for years, waiting for his chance to strike, to take what he thinks should be his. I should have known. Should have seen it coming.

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Thorne | Lasagna

    I haven't eaten in days. Not properly at all since she left. The thought of food made me nauseous, the idea of sitting down and going through the motions of a meal felt absurd when every cell in my body was screaming at me to find her, to fix this, to bring her back. But now the bond is here, humming quietly in the back of my mind, and my body is finally catching up to the fact that it needs fuel if I'm going to keep functioning. I stab the fork into the lasagna and take a bite, the flavours exploding on my tongue after days of nothing. It's so good. Lucy outdid herself, and I find myself taking another bite, and then another, the act of eating becoming mechanical, something to focus on while my mind continues to churn through everything that's happened. The guilt’s there, sat heavy on my chest. With every bite I take it grows, more insistent, demanding that I acknowledge it, that I face it head-on instead of shoving it down the way I've been doing for weeks now. This is my fault.

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Thorne | Guilt

    She's finally still. Finally quiet. The trembling that wracked her body for the better part of an hour has subsided into something that looks almost like peace, though I know better than to trust it. Maci lies in my bed, her face turned toward the window where the first hints of dawn are starting to creep across the sky, painting everything in shades of grey and pale gold. Her breathing’s steady now, deep and even, the kind of sleep that comes after the body has simply given up trying to hold itself together. I've tucked the duvet around her carefully, making sure she's warm, making sure nothing can touch her while she's this vulnerable. The cool cloth I've been using to soothe the swelling around her eyes sits in a bowl of water on the night stand, her beautiful face is still faintly pink from where her tears mixed with the exhaustion written into every line of her face. Her cheeks are still blotchy, her lashes damp and clumped together, and there's a rawness to her that makes so

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Maci | First Day

    The revolving doors of Wintermere & Co. glare at me like a giant, unblinking eye, and my imposter syndrome screams at me to turn and bolt.Today is the day I prove I belong here. Even if my thrift-store blouse and second-hand heels are screaming reminders that I don’t.Smoothing down my black A-lin

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Thorne | Pressed Harder

    I should have stayed with her, should have pressed harder for answers. But if I had given in, I wouldn’t have left.By the time I’m pulling into my driveway, the heavy iron gates closing slowly behind me, I've managed to school my instincts to a form of normal. Making my way through the forested es

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Thorne | Running Loops

    This steering wheel can’t take much more of me choking it and I blame her. Someone must have called the cops by now with the amount of times I have circled this block, that’s her fault too. Fifteen minutes I’ve been driving around the same loop, why, because apparently people’s phones go straight t

  • The Alpha Billionaire's Secrets   Maci | Choose What

    Softly clicking shut, the door seals me into the quiet dimness of my apartment. The first big breath comes out of me as a huge sigh, releasing the tension that has my shoulders pulled up to my ears. Sagging against the doorframe as the weight of this shitty day presses down on me. My fingers loosen
