2025-12-17 03:39:37My mind reels, but before I can form a coherent thought, a voice cuts through the air behind us—cold, hard, and achingly familiar.
"What the fuck did you just say?"
My blood freezes in my veins. I spin around, my heart nearly stopping in my chest.
Vincent stands before us, his powerful frame rigid with tension, his dark eyes burning with fury. The careful composure he wore during our earlier confrontation has completely shattered, replaced by something primal and dangerous.
Why the hell did he have to hear what Lewis said?
The silence stretches between us, heavy and suffocating. Around us, I'm dimly aware that other guests have begun to notice the tension. Conversations quiet, heads turn in our direction. The string qua

The Alpha Who Broke Me CHAPTER TEN
KAIAThe fluorescent lights in the Moonfang Construction break room buzz overhead as I sit at one of the small round tables, picking at my salad.It’s been days since the gala, and I still feel like every eye in the building is on me. Whispers follow me down hallways, conversations stop when I enter rooms, and I’ve caught more than one wolf tilting their head like they’re trying to catch my scent.The mate bond revelation has turned me into pack gossip, and I hate every second of it.I’m scrolling through my phone, trying to ignore the curious glances from other employees, when someone slides into the chair across from me. I look up, expecting to see Talia with her usual lunch invitation.Instead, I find myself starin

The Alpha Who Broke Me CHAPTER EIGHT
KAIAI smooth down the midnight blue dress Talia insisted I borrow and take a deep breath before stepping out of her car. The Grand Lyceum looms ahead of us, its neoclassical columns strung with thousands of white lights that cast everything in a warm, magical glow.The full moon hangs directly overhead, massive and silver, making my wolf stir restlessly beneath my skin."You look incredible," Talia says, linking her arm through mine. She's wearing a stunning emerald green gown that brings out her dark eyes. "Thank you for coming with me. These kingdom galas are insufferable when you're flying solo."I adjust the delicate straps of the dress, feeling exposed in the elegant fabric. "I still can't believe you talked me into this." I'd almost canceled twice today, worried about leaving Mom
The Alpha Who Broke Me CHAPTER SEVEN
KAIAIt's been three days since the late-night incident with Vincent, and I've been doing my best to ignore what happened. Whatever I felt when he touched my wrist—whatever that electric pull was—I buried it deep. We're keeping things strictly professional now. Polite emails, brief interactions during meetings, and absolutely no more after-hours encounters.Which is why I'm sitting in the corner of the conference room with my notepad, doing my job as his assistant while Vincent meets with Derek Homes, the contractor from Riverside Holdings. What should have been a routine project update has quickly devolved into something uglier."The foundation specs were clear from day one," Vincent says, his voice carefully controlled. He's wearing a charcoal gray suit today, perfectly pressed, but I can see the tension in his shoulders. "

KAIAThe Moonfang Construction building is eerily quiet at nine PM. Most of the staff cleared out hours ago, leaving just the security lights casting long shadows across the empty cubicles. I should have left too, but the quarterly reports won't finish themselves, and Vincent needs them for the board meeting first thing tomorrow morning.At least Lewis Thornfield hasn't shown up again since that bizarre encounter at the café last week. One less thing to worry about while I'm drowning in spreadsheets and trying to ignore how the past few days of professional tension with Vincent have left me feeling like a live wire.Every interaction we've had since I started has been charged with this underlying current of... something. The way he watches me during meetings. How his jaw ticks when other wolves dismiss my suggestions. The careful
The Alpha Who Broke Me CHAPTER FIVE
KAIAI push open the door to Moonbean Café and breathe in the rich aroma of coffee and fresh pastries. The little café sits just down the street from Moonfang Construction, tucked between a bookstore and a flower shop. It's become our unofficial meeting spot since I started working here two weeks ago.Talia waves at me from a corner booth, already nursing what looks like her third espresso of the day. I slide into the seat across from her, grateful for the familiar warmth of her presence. Sometimes it feels like I never left, like we're still seventeen and planning our weekend adventures."Large caramel macchiato," I tell the waitress who appears beside our table. "Extra shot.""Rough day?" Talia asks, raising an eyebrow."You could say that." I pull off my blazer and hang it on the back of my chair. The navy fabric is wrinkled from sitting hunched over spreadsheets all afternoon.Talia leans forward, her dark eyes bright with curiosity. "So what did you and Vincent talk about the oth
