FAZER LOGINWatching her break in front of me was worse than anything she had said.I had expected anger. I had prepared myself for shouting, accusations, even hatred. I had told myself that whatever she threw at me, I would take it without resistance because I deserved every bit of it. But nothing prepared me for the sight of her crying like that, her voice trembling under the weight of years she had carried alone.Sienna was never someone who broke easily. Even in the past, when things had been hard, she had held herself together with quiet strength. Seeing that strength crack now, seeing tears spill down her face while she demanded answers from me, made something inside my chest tighten painfully.Her words struck deeper because they were not wild accusations. They were questions. Real questions. Questions built from fear, from memory, from a past I had created with my own decisions.“How long before something else takes your time?” she had asked.That question stayed in my head, louder than a
The moment the children were led away, the house felt unbearably quiet.Priya had come at the right time, almost sensing that the tension inside the house had reached its breaking point. She had smiled gently at Kane and Selena, offering to take them to the park for a little while. Selena had gone easily, holding Priya’s hand and chatting about something excitedly. Kane had lingered a second longer, his eyes moving between me and Cassius, as if trying to decide whether leaving me alone with him was a good idea.“It’s okay,” I had told him softly, brushing his hair back. “Go. I’ll be right here.”He didn’t look convinced, but he nodded anyway and followed Selena.And just like that, the house emptied.The silence that followed was suffocating.The moment the door shut behind them, the strength I had been holding onto began to crack. I stood there for a few seconds, staring at the closed door, breathing slowly, trying to steady myself.But the moment I turned back toward Cassius…Someth
The silence after her words stayed with me longer than anything else.You’re late.It echoed in my head, not as an accusation, but as a fact. A truth so simple, so undeniable, that there was no way to argue against it, no way to soften it, no way to escape it.Because she was right.I was late.Late to choose her.Late to stand by her.Late to know my own children.Late to understand what any of it truly meant.And standing there, in the middle of a life she had built without me, I could feel that truth in everything around me.
The house felt smaller the moment they stepped in.It wasn’t the space. Nothing had changed physically. The same walls, the same soft light falling through the windows, the same toys scattered across the floor that I had grown used to stepping over. But something about their presence made everything feel tighter, heavier, as if the life I had built here was being quietly inspected, questioned, disturbed.Cassius stood there like he didn’t belong, yet like he had every right to be there.That contradiction unsettled me more than anything else.Kane and Selena stood near the hallway, watching with wide, curious eyes. They weren’t scared. They weren’t even confused in the way adults would be. They were simply… observing. Taking everything in,
It was only a matter of time.The moment Camelia made that call, I knew it deep down, even if I didn’t want to accept it. Cassius would come. He wouldn’t wait, he wouldn’t think twice, and he certainly wouldn’t stay away once he knew where I was. That was who he was. Persistent. Certain. Unrelenting when he wanted something.And right now… he wanted me.Or worse, he wanted them.I wanted to throw Everett and Camelia out the moment they stepped into my life again. I wanted to shut the door in their faces, to tell them they had no right to question me, no right to demand answers after all these years of silence.But I didn’t.Because anger was easy.Facing them was not.I was hurt. More than I wanted to admit. And that hurt didn’t come out as shouting or rage. It settled deep inside me, heavy and quiet, making everything feel harder than it should have.So I did what I knew best.I stayed home.The next two days blurred into one another. I didn’t go to work. I didn’t step out unless it
The pack was running well. Everything functioned exactly as it should. Patrols moved on time, supplies were accounted for, and disputes between wolves were resolved before they could turn into real problems. Every report that crossed my desk confirmed the same thing.Blood Moon pack was stable. Strong. Disciplined. Yet the quiet efficiency of it all did nothing to settle the chaos in my head. Being Alpha demanded control. Wolves watched me constantly—every decision, every reaction, every shift in my expression. A leader who appeared uncertain could weaken an entire territory. So I did what I had always done.I held everything together. On the outside, nothing had changed. On the inside, everything had.The large office that once felt like the center of my authority now felt strangely hollow. The walls were covered with maps of our territory and surrounding packs, each marked carefully with patrol routes and negotiation agreements.Every inch of it represented responsibility. Power. L
My nerves were buzzing with an excitement I hadn’t felt in years.Sienna was finally coming to my residence. Not the packhouse. My residence. After three long years.Ever since she had found a small house to rent and earned her seat at the council through sheer competence, she had fought hard to sta
Two things have been bothering me ever since I left her house.First — she didn’t let me inside.Not into her living room. Not even past the threshold. Just the backyard. Just the open grass and fading light. Not her home. Not the space where she and the kids live their real life.Second — somethin
“He is their father.” Austin’s voice made me freeze. I turned to look at him. “He is right?”“What?”“I see the way you two are. The Mate bond comes to life when you stand beside him. And Kane resembles him in every possible way.” As if I didn’t know that.“What difference does it make?” I asked Au
Something in me broke the moment she left me standing at the corner of the street. Maybe everything broke in me. Realisation came crashing down on me that I couldn’t bear to stand on my own two feet. Tears clouded my vision and my wolf screamed to be let out.I couldn’t. Not here. Not where my kids
