The Alpha's Curvy Mate Chapter 25: The Word Nobody Says
Scarlett had almost reached the end of the hallway when she stopped."Wait."Draven looked up."You said the packs will want to know what I am to you." She turned back toward him, arms crossed. "What exactly do you think they're asking?"His expression changed, careful and guarded. "Scarlett.""No. You don't get to do that again." She held her ground. "You said they want an answer about me. So tell me what answer they're expecting."He was quiet for a moment, weighing something she couldn't see the shape of."Mate," he said finally. "That's the word they'll use. That's what they'll be asking."Scarlett's mouth went dry. "That's the word Adrian meant. What she is to you.""Yes.""Then tell me what it means. Not the fairytale version. The real one."He gestured toward the kitchen instead of answering there in the hallway, and she followed, some instinct telling her this conversation needed a table between them and somewhere to sit if her knees decided they'd had enough for one morning.
The Alpha's Curvy Mate Chapter 24: The Weight of Not Hiding
Draven hadn't moved from the hallway in three hours, and the wolf hadn't stopped pushing against his control for a single minute of it.He'd expected relief once the secret was out. Instead the opposite had happened. For weeks he'd poured every ounce of discipline into keeping the truth locked down, and now that the truth was loose, the wolf seemed to think the rest of the leash should go with it. Every creak of the floorboards on the other side of her door registered like a small violence. Every hour of silence made the need to stay near her worse instead of better.He'd spent years learning how to want something and not take it. Eight of those years had been spent grieving a woman quietly enough that no one ever saw the wolf's hunger underneath it. This felt different, sharper, less like grief and more like a debt finally coming due.Adrian found him still standing there just past dawn."You look like a man who hasn't slept.""I don't need to sleep.""You need to do something other
The Alpha's Curvy Mate Chapter 23: Three Feet Away
Scarlett sat on the edge of the bed for a long time before she let herself pick up the phone.Nora answered on the second ring, her voice thick with sleep. "It's two in the morning. This better be an emergency or a really good confession.""I need to hear a normal voice." Scarlett's own voice came out smaller than she wanted it to. "Just talk to me about something that isn't my life for five minutes.""Okay." There was a pause, followed by the sound of Nora sitting up, fully awake now despite the hour. "Scarlett, what happened?""I can't tell you.""You keep saying that.""I know. I'm sorry." Scarlett pressed her palm flat against her chest, as if she could somehow steady her racing heart. "It's not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't think you'd believe me, and even if you did, I don't think I could live with myself for pulling you into it."Nora was quiet for a moment. "Are you safe?""I think so. I don't actually know anymore what that word means.""That's not reassuring.""N
The Alpha's Curvy Mate Chapter 22: What Are You?
"What are you?" Scarlett asked again, louder this time, when he didn't answer the first time fast enough.Draven stood perfectly still, every instinct in him screaming to close the distance she'd just put between them, and every ounce of control he had left telling him that closing it right now would be the worst possible thing he could do."Say something." Her voice cracked on the second word. "Your eyes turned gold, Draven. People's eyes don't do that. Explain it or I swear I will walk to that road and start walking until someone stops to pick me up.""Don't.""Then talk."He opened his mouth twice before anything came out, the wolf pressing hard beneath his skin, agitated by her fear and making every second of restraint harder."I'm not going to lie to you," he said finally. "But I need you to let me finish before you decide what to do.""I'm not promising you that.""That's fair." His voice had gone rough, stripped of its usual control. "I'm not human, Scarlett. I haven't been hum
The Alpha's Curvy Mate Chapter 21: The Address On Vale Street
Draven didn't wait for Adrian to finish pulling records. Some answers weren't going to come from another screen."The address is a walk-up on Vale Street," Adrian said, keeping pace beside him down the corridor. "The consulting firm registered the property eighteen months ago. Could be nothing. Could be deliberately built to look like nothing.""I'm not waiting to find out which.""You're not thinking clearly right now.""I'm thinking exactly clearly enough." Draven's voice left no room to argue further. "Eight years, Adrian. I stopped looking for her because I told myself there was nothing left to find. If I was wrong about that, I need to know tonight, not after your team finishes cross-referencing property tax records."Adrian didn't push again. That was how Draven knew he understood.The building on Vale Street was four stories of tired brick wedged between a laundromat and a shuttered pharmacy. Draven stood across the street for a long moment before crossing, cataloguing exits, w
The Alpha's Curvy Mate Chapter 20: The Officer of Record
The text came in before she'd even set the laptop aside.Smart girl. But saving it won't help you.Scarlett stared at the screen, the adrenaline from the screenshot still fresh enough that the message landed like a physical shove. Whoever this was hadn't just noticed her searching. They'd watched her win, in real time, and decided to tell her so.She typed back before she could talk herself out of it.Who are you.The reply came fast, faster than any of the others.Someone who's tired of watching you almost figure it out.Then nothing. No further explanation, no follow-up, just silence stretching long enough that she checked twice to make sure the conversation hadn't simply vanished the way the records had.She called Draven.He answered on the first ring, voice already alert despite the hour. "What?""I found something. On the six names." She kept her voice steady, refusing to let the fear bleed into it. "The fifth one is attached to a business registration filed three months ago. I
