JACQUELINE

My breaths came fast and shallow, each step to my car feeling like a desperate attempt to outrun the sting of Nina’s words, the humiliating video, the hate swarming my socials like flies on something rotten.

My throat tightened.

I was suffocating.

I needed to go. I needed to vanish—just for a second, just until the world stopped spinning out of control. But as I reached the line of parked cars, a tall figure standing beside my car jolted me to a halt.

Mr. Philips.

My breath hitched.

He leaned against the dark side of a sleek black sedan—shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his slate-grey button-down clinging to the subtle tension in his chest and arms. His dark slacks were crisp despite the heat, his frame so deliberately put together that he seemed immune to the summer's heat. His collar was open, his tie gone. Somehow that only made him more commanding, more undone in a way that felt unintentional but utterly magnetic.

And then there were his eyes.

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 42

    EZRAI sat up the next morning with a groan, memories of that fight with Beatrice returning. Every rib protested against my forced movements. My body was healing, but it was slow. Slower than I was used to. The scratches on my side still burned with that unnatural coldness. Her claws had left more than just wounds. They had left a question.Who the hell had made her? When she had shifted, I had known in that instant that something was wrong. When I closed my eyes, I could still see the red of hers.That wasn’t Beatrice. Not anymore. Not in the way that mattered.And yet, I'd let her escape. I had her pinned. Bruised and bleeding beneath me. I had her jaw in my grip, my knee pressed to her chest. All I had to do was finish it. Snap her neck. Bury the threat. Uphold the law.But I didn’t.She had whimpered, not as the beast, but as a girl. A flicker of her humanity had broken through the monstrous haze, and something in me had... faltered.It was happening again. First Jacqueline. No

    Jacqueline's POVI began to move towards Blair, heart thumping. I hadn’t seen her since yesterday. Since that awful moment in the garden when her phone rang, and she got told her sister had gotten into an accident. I would have called her if I'd had her number. But I didn't, and so while I thought about everything that'd happened yesterday, I hadn't failed to worry about her sister's health too. And now she stood just ahead of me, looking pale and tired, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she stared out the window like she wanted to punch it.I didn’t wait.“Blair!” I rushed toward her.She turned quickly, eyes meeting mine. Her shoulders tensed like she was bracing herself. Mrs Winterthur hadn't arrived yet, and so the class was a steady hum of low conversations. “I tried to find you yesterday,” I said, breathless. “I didn’t have your number. I searched Facebook. I—I didn’t know what else to do.”Her face softened.“How’s your sister?” I asked.Blair blinked, and for a mom

    JACQUELINE Sunlight came through the window and touched my bed, causing me to stir. It was warm, soft, too gentle for the way I felt inside.I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to open my eyes. But I did.And just like that, everything from yesterday came rushing back.Nina’s voice. Her lies. Her smile as she went live and told the world things that weren’t true about me. The comments that had poured in...mean, hateful. Strangers calling me names. People believing her lies.I had never felt so small.Then another memory came, this one that made my chest feel warm for just a second.Mr. Philips.His eyes, cold, gray, like a storm, but when he looked at me yesterday, there was something else behind them. Something sharp, but not unkind. He’d asked me what was wrong. His voice had been a little rude at first, but he had asked.And when I started crying, he didn’t walk away. He didn’t say anything cruel.He held me.His arms were strong. His chest was warm. And when I held him, it felt

    EZRAI stepped into the corridor, the air colder than usual, heavy with tension. The elders were gathered beyond the large oak doors of the council hall, their voices low, serious. My father had summoned me to join the meeting, something about a possible attack from the northern pack or a chance to finally make peace.But I couldn’t walk in. Not yet.Because I saw her.She stood by the window at the far end of the hall, bathed in gold sunlight. It lit up her white gown like fire through snow. Her hair was long and so pale it bordered on silver. Loose curls fell to her waist, shimmering like silk. But it was her eyes...violet, clear, fiercethat pinned me in place.I stopped breathing.That was when it hit.The bond.It surged through me, not soft or gentle, but overwhelming. Fierce. My wolf rose like a wave inside me, drawn to her. I’d heard stories about the mating bond, how it struck like lightning, how it brought warriors to their knees. I never believed them until now.She looked r

    JACQUELINEAs I slipped my key into the door, I couldn't stop thinking about the scene at the parking lot.Sammy's lurking...Had he followed me? Was it just a coincidence? Or were they—he and Nina—already cooking up some new way to humiliate me?My hand hesitated on the key.I swallowed hard.I had hugged Mr. Philips. Buried my face into his shirt and clung to him like he was something solid in a world that wouldn’t stop shaking. My cheeks burned just thinking about it. The memory wasn’t clear anymore—it came in pieces. The strength in his arms. The way his voice had cut through the panic like a cold, clear bell. The moment I felt his chest rise and fall under my cheek.It had felt good. Maybe too good.But if Sammy saw that...A sick feeling slid through my stomach. He wouldn’t care that I’d been upset. He wouldn’t care that his girlfriend had been tearing me apart in public. No—he’d twist it. Spin it. Feed it to Nina like gossip over wine. And she’d know exactly what to do with it.
