°Amy’s POV°

“What?” The word slipped out before I could stop it. My voice cracked, thin as glass, and I blinked hard, but the tears still came anyway. “What did you just say?”

Christian’s eyes didn’t waver. He didn’t laugh it off. He didn’t take it back. Instead, he stepped closer and cupped my face with both his hands, his palms warm against my damp cheeks. His thumbs brushed the tears I couldn’t hide, his touch, gentle and steady.

“I said I like you,” he repeated, his voice softer this time, like he wanted the words to sink straight into me. “Very much. More than I should’ve admitted right now. But it’s the truth. And now that you’re here…” His eyes searched mine, slow and steady, “I’ll always be here for you, Amy.”

The tears broke loose then, sliding hot down my face. My chest caved in, and before I could think better of it, I threw myself into his arms. My forehead pressed against his chest, and I sobbed into the soft fabric of his green shirt. It smelled faintly like cedarwood an

  • The Alpha Playboy Is My Mate.   I No Longer Have My Wolf.....

    °Amy’s POV°The morning hit like any other, but quieter. No Claire drama echoing through the halls. Just the usual chaos of getting Eli ready for his first day at the new school.Eli was buzzing….little guy had his backpack on backwards at first, stuffed with crayons and a snack I’d packed way too many options for. He kept running circles around the kitchen island, asking if the other kids would like dinosaurs or superheroes better.I was half-asleep, sipping coffee that tasted like regret from staying up too late thinking about everything. Jeremy was already downstairs, dressed sharp as always…..crisp shirt, sleeves rolled up, looking like he owned the world but didn’t want to today.He glanced at Eli, then at me. “Ready to roll?”I nodded, he grabbed his keys even though he was driving. We piled into his SUV. Eli in the back, kicking his legs against the seat, chattering about recess and making friends. Jeremy drove smoothly, one hand on the wheel, the other resting on the gear

  • The Alpha Playboy Is My Mate.   Relatable...

    °Amy’s POV °The words dropped into the room like someone had turned off gravity.They didn’t echo and they didn’t need to. They just sat there, heavy and undeniable, while everyone tried to figure out where to put their faces.Claire blinked first.Once.Twice.Like maybe she’d misheard him, like maybe this was some inside joke she hadn’t been invited to.“What did you just say?” she asked, very calmly. Jeremy didn’t move from the railing. He didn’t straighten up or puff his chest or do any of the dramatic Alpha things people expected from him. He just rubbed a hand over his face, slow and tired.“I said one heir is enough.”The maids froze mid-step. One of them was holding a suitcase halfway up the stairs, like a paused video.Claire laughed.It was sharp and quick and wrong. “You’re joking.”He didn’t answer.That’s when she turned to me.Her eyes dragged over me like they were looking for dirt, for proof, for something she could grab and throw.“You planned this,” she said. “You

  • The Alpha Playboy Is My Mate.   One Heir Is Enough.

    Amy's POV.I smirked.Not because I was winning or because I felt powerful or any of that nonsense people like to attach meaning to. I smirked because Claire looked like she’d rehearsed this moment in her head all night… and it still wasn’t going the way she wanted.She stood there at the bottom of the stairs, still flanked by her three suitcases like backup dancers that had missed their cue. Her shoulders were stiff, her face calm in that brittle way people get when they’re holding themselves together with spite and caffeine.I took one more step down, slow and unbothered.“Did you need help with those?” I asked. “Because I’m not great with luggage, but I’m excellent at moral support.”She didn’t laugh. “I’m not here for jokes,” she said.“Pity,” I replied. “They’re free.”She turned fully toward me then, her eyes sharp, scanning me like she was looking for cracks and I let her. I wasn’t in the mood to hide anything this morning.“You stayed,” she said.I nodded. “Seems that way.” I

  • The Alpha Playboy Is My Mate.    Miss and Mrs....

    ° Amy’s POV °The knock didn’t come.The door just flew open like whoever was on the other side had misplaced the concept of manners entirely.“Where the fuck is she?!”The voice was sharp.The kind of voice that had never been told no and clearly didn’t expect today to be the day.I straightened slowly, fingers still curled into fists , as my reflection stared back at me ….. the towel secure in its place on my body, my hair damp, and my eyes steady.Jeremy’s fiancée stood in the doorway like a headline.Tall, perfect posture, hair that looked like it had never met humidity. She wore white , not soft white, but the aggressive kind that screamed I belong here.Her eyes landed on me.Paused.Then flicked down.Then back up again.Oh.I smiled.Not a big one. Just enough to be annoying.“I’m guessing you’re not looking for the towels,” I said.I didn't know who she really was, but in that moment, so much dislike for her had grown within me.Her brows pulled together. “Excuse me?”Jeremy

  • The Alpha Playboy Is My Mate.   A Night After Many Nights.

    °Amy's POV °The shower felt too good… too calm… too unlike the chaos in my head.The warm water, soft steam, and expensive soap that smelled like flowers I couldn’t even name.I stepped out slowly, still thinking about, Grandma Lydia and how disappointed she'd be if she found out I'd left, she'd called me ungrateful maybe, and about Mia…. and Christian, I thought of the happy look on Eli’s face as he ran upstairs with the maids, I thought about this mansion, about Jeremy, about the stupid way my chest tightened whenever he looked at me like he still owned pieces of me.I wrapped myself in the towel the maid had left for me earlier…..it was fluffy and warm, almost swallowing me.But my hair was dripping down my shoulders, little drops of water trails sliding down my back.Everything felt… too open, and for a moment, too exposed.I was reaching for the robe when…..The door clicked.I froze, spinning around like if I didn't I was gonna get harmed or something.Then Jeremy stepped insid

  • The Alpha Playboy Is My Mate.   A Day After Many Days....

    ° Amy's POV°The mansion was massive.Not just “big”… but the kind of big that makes you stop for a second and question whether you’re supposed to walk inside or admire it from a distance like a tourist. The walls looked too clean, the windows too shiny, the steps too polished. I wasn’t sure which one made me feel smaller …… the size or the perfection.I held Eli’s hand tighter than usual. He didn’t mind. He was staring at everything with the kind of wide-eyed excitement only a five-year-old could have, taking it all in like this was the Fairy Land he always talked about.Honestly… I couldn’t blame him.The servants swung the huge doors open at the exact same moment, like they’d practiced it a hundred times. Even the sound of the door opening echoed softly through the entrance hall.Jeremy walked in first.Of course he did.He loosened his tie as he moved, not even bothering to look around like the place wasn’t trying to scream “look how expensive I am” in every direction.He paused h
