Turns out Nina hadn’t been lying about the assignment. Or about the head maid’s growing impatience.

I had delayed as long as I possibly could.

I lingered in the laundry rooms, inventing tasks no one had asked me to do, folding linens that were already perfectly creased, organizing supplies that were already in order.

Like a ghost, I tried to remain in the shadows where I belonged until the summons came.

A maid found me. She delivered the order with a stiff tone that left no room for argument: I was to report upstairs to the Alpha’s wing immediately.

So, I found myself there, walking hallways that smelled different than any other part of the estate. Fresh-cut flowers in crystal vases adorned the sills, replaced so regularly their scent never had a chance to fade.

The silence here was different, too. It was a heavy silence. It was like stepping into another world entirely. I passed a carved wooden bench where a small group of upstairs maids had gathered near a closet. They were l

  • The Alpha's Broken Pet   Forty-Three

    JustinThe early morning was silent, and the sound of my feet hitting the ground felt solid. I had just woken up from a nightmare—the same one as always: I was in darkness, with shadows that stretched like claws and a creature with a long head and a whip-like tongue that laughed at me.It was not a normal laugh. It opened up every fear I had and made my bones shake. Its dying words whispered that my blood was its prize and that once it tasted it, it would never stop.I put my AirPods in and ran without stopping.At least my wolf wasn't screaming in pain this morning.I hadn't felt any pain for days, which was a good thing. A hopeful part of me wondered if the wolf was actually getting better or if a special healer had finally found a cure. I would do anything to keep my curse hidden, to keep what was left of my sanity.But hope was useless. It dangled a light in front of me, promised to save me, and then burned me with nothing but smoke. It was better to be realistic.By the third lap

    MarissaI pressed the tip of my nose into the curve of Justin’s neck, and a shiver went through me. The urge to bite him, to mark him, to show that he was mine grew almost too strong.He was firm and strong everywhere—from his muscles to the hardness poking through his pants. I could tell he wanted this as much as I did. But there was also caution in him. A strong, protective caution, caused by the person who had hurt me.I turned and went into the room, my legs feeling heavy. Justin sat on the single chair, his eyes watching me as I carefully sat on the edge of the bed.“I need a favor,” I said softly. “It’s the first one I’ve ever asked.”He raised an eyebrow. “Looking for reasons to keep me here?”I rolled my eyes.“There are new employees from my pack. I need one person in particular… sent away.”His eyes grew dark. He already knew where this was going. I waited for a moment, then let the name come out.“Alan Thorold Blackfang.”He made a sharp sound.“Weird name. Inspired by some

    MarissaThe commotion around me grew louder as people inched forward to see what was happening. My anger and rage at Alan had swallowed whatever shame I was supposed to feel, seeing myself in the middle of this craziness."What did you do to her, Linda?" the girl who was confronting me because of my alleged relationship with Hector cried out, while trying to help me out of the pool. I felt pain in the part that was hurting me."I didn’t do anything," the bastard said, not even trying to hide his arrogance. His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. "She was the one who came on to me."I wasn’t even surprised. Alan had no shred of shame or dignity in him."She’s still bitter because I chose peace and a wife I love over her. She feels she’s special, being the alpha’s daughter, that no one can dump her."Some of the onlookers, especially his gender, were already on his side; some looked skeptical. I searched around for Hector with my eyes so he could see the animal he called a frien

    MarissaThe underwater lamp rippled across the pool’s surface as I walked past. Justin had just dropped me off outside the lounge, and I had begged him not to come in with me. I couldn’t handle more drama; my life already had enough of it.The poolside was full of people. Some swam laps, some sat at the edge, and others drifted without purpose. A couple stood chest-deep in the water, talking quietly, while another person was shouting across the pool at someone who ignored him.Hector sat at the edge of the pool with his legs in the water, scrolling through his phone. The glow lit up his wet face. When he looked up and noticed me, he smiled, though I could tell he was uneasy. I sat beside him, and he moved a can of soda aside to make space. Our legs hung in the water, our toes brushing the surface.“I told you,” I said quietly, “you don’t need to babysit me anymore. Your best friend’s back. Go play hero with him.”He gave a short laugh. “Alan doesn’t control me. And believe it or not,

  • The Alpha's Broken Pet   Thirty Nine

    JustinMy patience was wearing thin as I waited for Justine to return from the club. It was already past 10:30 in the morning. When I got home last night, the housekeeper said she’d been gone for hours.I sat in the upstairs living area, my gaze drifting to the gift box on the table beside me. Justine wasn’t the type to be won over by flashy gestures, but I knew her well enough to pick out things she couldn’t resist. Inside the box was a pair of designer sunglasses she’d been eyeing, a high-end headset for her DJ sets, and a handwritten apology note. I wasn’t sure if she'd appreciate the last one, but I’d written it anyway.It was rare for me to admit I was wrong. But she was my twin and one of the few people who had always loved me unconditionally. And now, thanks to my own reckless choices, I had hurt her. I didn’t have a lot of people in my corner. I wasn’t about to let pride destroy the one person who truly got me.Just as I was about to give up, I heard her voice downstairs, givi

  • The Alpha's Broken Pet   Thirty-Eight

    MarissaSilence dropped over the room like a bomb, so heavy it seemed to press against my eardrums. My tongue was thick and useless in my mouth. Heat crept up the back of my neck, and my heartbeat rattled in my chest. I searched for words—any words—but my mind had gone blank. My worst fear had just come true, and there was no taking it back.Justin’s lips flattened into a hard line; the smugness that had been there moments ago vanished. His sister’s mouth hung open as she tried to process what she was seeing.She took a hesitant step back, her fingers curling into the fabric of her denim shirt. Pure horror passed over her face. Her gaze bounced restlessly between us, as if she were watching a movie she wished she could turn off.“I want to believe what I just saw isn’t what I think it is,” she said, her voice trembling with restrained fury.Justin dragged a hand down his face and moved toward her. “Justine, it’s not—”“Are you serious right now?” she snapped, cutting him off. Her voic
