Vanessa

After Jordan left the dining room, the silence that followed felt strangely peaceful the kind of quiet that made every sound sharper.

The ticking of the old clock on the wall. The faint clink of cutlery against a plate as Kyla’s syrup sticky spoon rolled away. The gentle hum of morning sunlight filtering through the lace curtains.

My mother sat across from me, her eyes soft but tired, as if she had lived a thousand lives in one.

For a long moment, neither of us spoke. We just sat there, two women connected by blood and pain, unsure how to bridge the years that had been stolen from us.

Finally, I cleared my throat. “I met Kyla yesterday.”

Elara looked up, startled for just a second before a small smile tugged at her lips. “You did?”

I nodded, tracing the rim of my empty cup with a trembling finger. “She knocked on my door, said her name was Kyla, and that she was my sister.” I paused, a faint laugh escaping me. “I didn’t even know what to say. I thought she had the wrong room

  • The Alpha’s Broken Mate   Chapter Fifty One

    VanessaI didn’t stop walking.The hallways blurred around me walls, doors, faces. None of it mattered. My pulse roared in my ears, drowning out everything else. I could still feel Jordan’s hand on my wrist, the heat of it, the way his voice cracked when he said my name.But that wasn’t enough.Not this time.I pushed open the front door and kept moving, half running, half stumbling across the grounds toward my mother’s house. The cold morning air bit at my skin, but it couldn’t cool the burn under my chest — the kind of fire that comes when every illusion starts to fall apart.I didn’t even knock.“Mom!” I shouted, storming inside. “Where are you?”Elara appeared from the kitchen, her hair tied loosely at the back of her neck, a mug of tea in her hand. The calm on her face that practiced, measured calm only fueled my fury.“Vanessa,” she said, her voice steady. “What’s wrong?”“What’s wrong?” I repeated, my voice breaking into a bitter laugh. “You tell me, Mom. What isn’t wrong?”She

    ElaraThe door closed behind Vanessa with a sound that echoed far too loudly in the silence that followed. I stood there for a long time, staring at the empty space she had left, her words still hanging in the air like smoke after a fire.“I’m done living in the dark.”Her voice was trembling, but her eyes, those same bright eyes she’d had as a child had been unflinching. Determined. There was no trace of the broken girl I had carried home years ago, no hint of the trembling hands I had held through her nightmares.She wasn’t my fragile little girl anymore.And that terrified me more than anything.I turned away from the door and sank slowly into the chair behind my desk. The parchment I’d been writing on earlier was smeared, the ink blotted where my hand had trembled. The scent of sage still clung to the air, meant to bring clarity and calm, yet all it did was remind me how clouded everything had become.How long had I been lying to her?How long had I been convincing myself that s

  • The Alpha’s Broken Mate   Chapter Fourty Nine

    JordanI took Vanessa into my arms and for a few seconds, we just stood there, embracing each other in silence, taking in the moment. This was the first time I could actually breathe since this morning. But the moment doesn't last long before there is a sharp knock on my door, it was sharp enough to shatter the stillness,it felt urgent, precise and I knew who it was before he even stepped into the house, Kade.Vanessa straightened herself immediately letting her go from my embrace, her hand tightening around my arm. I could feel her pulse quicken beneath her skin.“It’s okay,” I murmured, brushing a thumb along her wrist before I stepped back. “Stay here.”I crossed the room and opened the door. Kade stood there, face grim, eyes flicking between me and Vanessa before settling back on me.“We have got a problem,” he said quietly, his tone cutting through the air like steel.My stomach dropped. “What kind of problem?”Kade hesitated for half a second, long enough for the answer to alre

  • The Alpha’s Broken Mate   Chapter Fourty Eight

    JordanThe silence after the video stopped playing was the kind that crawled under your skin.The kind that filled every corner of the room, pressing down until even breathing felt like a crime.Vanessa stood a few feet away from me, her shoulders rigid, her hands shaking at her sides.I could see the betrayal written all over her face the same expression that haunted my dreams whenever I failed someone.“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” she asked finally, her voice quiet but sharp enough to cut.I exhaled through my nose, dragging a hand across the back of my neck. “Because I needed to be sure. Because I didn’t want to hurt you if I was wrong.”Her head snapped up, eyes blazing. “You didn’t want to hurt me? You think watching that video didn’t hurt? You think finding out that the only person I thought I could trust was lying to me wasn’t enough?”“I was trying to protect you," I said, the words coming out harsher than I meant them to.She took a step toward me. “You keep saying that,

    VanessaI had told myself a dozen times on the walk over that I wouldn’t lose my composure. I was just going to have an adult conversation with him. That I would be calm, rational, reasonable.But as I stood in front of Jordan’s office door, the same one he had locked me out of for two whole days, all my rehearsed words twisted together into one tight knot of anger and ache.Two days, Two days of silence after everything that happened between us. And all the composure I had was suddenly gone. I was furious. After the way he had held me. The way he had whispered my name like it meant something. And now he was acting like none of it had happened.I pushed open the door before I could talk myself out of it.Jordan was there, standing by the wide desk, sleeves rolled up, eyes dark as the night outside. He didn’t even look surprised to see me.“Vanessa,” he said evenly.I hated how calm he sounded.I closed the door behind me. “We need to talk.”He didn’t move, just nodded once, as if he’

  • The Alpha’s Broken Mate   Chapter Fourty Six

    Kyla & ElaraKyla sat at the edge of her bed, the teddy bear still clutched to her chest, her little brows furrowed in thought trying to decide if it was worth mentioning to her mother. Something about Ella didn’t sit right with her. She wasn’t like the others. The omegas who came to the pack house were usually shy, soft spoken, too afraid to look anyone in the eye. But Ella, she looked. Always watching. Always asking small, quiet questions that didn’t feel like casual curiosity.And just now, when Kyla had found her in Vanessa’s study the way Ella had frozen, the way her hand had trembled slightly, it wasn’t guilt of someone caught snooping for fun. It was fear of someone being found out. She slipped off her bed and padded barefoot down the hallway. Her mother’s office door was slightly open, the soft glow of candlelight spilling into the corridor.“Mom?” she called softly.Elara looked up from the papers on her desk, surprise flickering in her golden eyes. “Kyla? It’s late, sweeth
