EZRA

The dreamless sleep did not last for long.

I had just started drifting, my mind foggy and body heavy, when something changed in the air. The shift was so subtle, most wouldn’t have noticed it. But I wasn’t most people.

My eyes snapped open.

Stillness. The kind that didn’t feel right.

The little orange cat was curled near the foot of the bed, chest rising and falling in soft, rhythmic breaths. Peaceful. Unbothered.

But something else was here.

I sat up slowly. My spine stiffened, every muscle locked and alert. A chill swept through the room like fingers trailing down my back. My senses stretched wide, reaching for the thing that didn't belong.

It wasn’t scent or sound, no, it was something older. Something darker. Like the world had gone just a little off-balance.

I rose from the bed, bare feet touching the cold floor. The air had weight now. Pressure. My skin prickled.

"Who's here?" My voice came out rough, dangerous.

Silence.

And then, a voice. A whisper that slithered around m

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 79

    EZRAI had always hated to teach those unruly young adults, but somehow as I sat on my couch I realized I was going to miss lecturing a little. For several weeks, teaching had become my lifestyle and even though it was something I thought I hated, I realized I would miss it.The way they walked into my class with bags under their eyes, the hum of their barely contained gossip, the smell of ink and over-sprayed perfume. And then there was her. The girl who had been brave enough to kiss me and alter my brain cells completely.Now I was leaving. Not just the college. Not just the job. The entire human realm. I was done. If Gyai was not here, in the human realm, there was no point staying. I had to find her. I had to find my mate. If she was in the Grim pack, then that was where I was going to go.I rubbed my thumb down the back of the orange cat curled beside me on the armrest, the only living thing in this world that had the nerve to curl up beside me like I was a heater. The cat purred

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 78

    JACQUELINE I stayed on my bed long after the message came in, the collage still lighting up my phone screen like a warning. The pictures wouldn’t stop replaying in my mind. Me, frozen in time, looking at Mr Philips like I was in love or close to it. And him, unreadable as always, but close enough that it would make anyone question everything.My stomach was tight, twisted in too many knots. I hadn’t eaten since morning, but I wasn’t hungry. Not when I had less than five hours before Samuel made good on his threat.He wanted to ruin me. And maybe Mr Philips too.Samuel had always had this charming way of hiding his bitterness, of smiling while slicing through skin. It had taken nearly a year of dating and one ugly betrayal to finally see it. And now he had photos that looked more like stills from a romance movie than anything real.I needed to stop him.The light from outside poured through the thin gap in my curtains. It spread across my wall, soft and gold and completely useless. I

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 77

    JACQUELINEUnfortunately, Blair couldn't join me in my frantic social media search for information about Mr Philips. “I gotta head home early today. Amy gets cranky if I’m late.”I was a little disappointed that I was going to have to do this alone, but I completely understood. Amy couldn't be by herself. “How’s she doing? With the arm and the ribs?”Blair gave a soft smile. “Better. She’s stopped whining about the ribs, which means they’re healing. Still stuck in that cast, though. She decorated it again this morning. Put glitter stickers all over it. I told her it looked like a disco ball.”I laughed. “Sounds like her.”“Yeah. She’s been sleeping more, eating well. The worst seems behind us.”“That’s good,” I said. “Really good.”She glanced sideways at me, her expression soft. “Mom keeps saying she wishes she could thank whoever helped us out with the hospital bills. She’s still trying to figure it out.”My throat tightened.Blair kept talking, her voice quiet, like she wasn’t tryi

    JACQUELINEThe corridor was packed with chatter and footsteps as students spilled out of Mrs. Winterthur’s classroom, brushing past each other with loud sighs and rustling bags. I walked with the crowd, half-listening to a girl behind me complain about the number of readings due next week. I barely noticed the people brushing against my shoulders or the way the light filtered through the narrow windows, casting long gold shapes across the floor. My thoughts were stuck somewhere else. At the door, I spotted Blair standing just outside, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and one foot hooked behind the other. She looked up, eyes scanning the crowd, and then narrowed them the moment she spotted me.“You look like someone ate your favorite candy,” she said, not even bothering with a hello.I slumped against the wall beside her, clutching the strap of my bag tighter than necessary.“He wasn’t there.”Blair blinked. “Who?”“Mr. Philips. He didn’t come to class.”She tilted her h

    JACQUELINEThe door was locked.I stood there for a long moment, hand hovering over the knob like it would magically turn if I waited long enough. But it didn’t. My stomach knotted.Me Philips wasn't truly here. Where else could I look?I stepped back, hugging my bag to my chest. I didn’t know where he lived. I didn’t even know if he had family here. I didn’t know anything about him, did I? Just a name. Ezra Philips. And that he taught poetry. That he smelled expensive...like cedar and mint and something darker. That his fingers were long and calloused. That he had tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and said nothing about it afterward.I swallowed hard.I moved to a bench in the hallway, cold plastic against my thighs as I sat. My phone felt heavy in my hand. I tapped on his name and pressed call, my breath catching as it rang once, turn, twice. A minute later, God voice came on. Low. Terse. Controlled.“You’ve reached Ezra Philips. Leave a message.”A beep followed.I froze.W

    JACQUELINEI’d never taken so long to pick an outfit for school.Not even on presentation days.I stood in front of the mirror, twisting from side to side, watching the way my jeans curved over my hips and hugged my thighs. They were my favorite pair, slightly faded at the knees, tight in all the right places, and if I was being honest, they made my ass look about twenty percent bigger than it really was. Which, in this case, was the whole point.I tugged down the edge of the tiny crop top I’d bought online for something like two dollars and seventy-five cents. The fabric was soft, a little clingy, ribbed and snug across my chest. It was probably meant for girls with smaller boobs, but I liked the way it made me feel dangerous, kind of. Like a dare wrapped in cotton.I ran my fingers through my hair for the tenth time, combing through the soft waves that curled over my shoulders. I’d brushed and rebrushed it until it gleamed, tumbling down like a honeyed waterfall. Same shade as Mom’s
