Zolani’s POV

Downstairs was alive, I could hear music pulsing through the floorboards, laughter rolling, voices overlapping in a dozen languages, glasses clinking, and boots stomping.

The energy leaked up the stairs and it was tempting, promising fun, connection, chaos. I wanted to be part of it. I wanted to walk in, smile, dance, let myself get swept up in the madness of a werewolf post wedding celebration.

But my feet wouldn’t move.

This was Aradia’s night. Her grooms had arrived hours ago,

  • The Alpha's Naughty Human   23: Jealous

    Zolani’s pov.I turned back to Ronan and hesitated again.The song swelled, slow, intimate and Ronan stepped a fraction closer, hand still offered. “One dance,” he said softly, voice cutting through the bass. “No strings. No expectations. Just… let me show you how it feels.”The words hit low, warm, and tempting.I glanced at Cassian once more.His jaw tightened, visible even from here.I looked back at Ronan, took a breath and placed my hand in his.Ronan’s fingers closed around mine, gentle, and warm, no possession in the grip.He pulled me close, slowly and, respectfully, hand settling on my waist lightly, the other holding mine at shoulder height. We started to move, slow, in time with the music, his steps confident but easy, leading without forcing.“You’re tense,” he murmured after a few beats, voice low against my ear. “Relax. I don’t bite… unless asked.”I laughed nervous and lightly, trying to shake off the way Cassian’s gaze still burned into my back. “That’s reassuring.”He

  • The Alpha's Naughty Human   22: Stepping Out..

    Zolani’s POV I followed Cassian down the stairs, each step heavier than the last, the noise and music swelling louder with every descent.The deep bass vibrating through the stone, laughter rolling, voices overlapping in a dozen accents. My heart was trying to punch its way out of my chest, so I focused on breathing, in through the nose, out through the mouth, slow, and steady, like the therapist had taught me years ago when the anxiety attacks started.It wasn’t working. My palms were slick, my stomach a knotted mess, and the sapphire dress suddenly felt like it was painted on, every sway of my hips, every flash of thigh through the slit, screaming look at me.I hesitated on the landing, one hand gripping the banister like it could anchor me. I needed a second. Just one second to remember how to exist in a room full of people who could smell every secret I was trying to hide.Cassian stopped too.He turned, slowly, those storm-grey eyes locking on mine.“Come,” he said quietly.It w

The energy leaked up the stairs and it was tempting, promising fun, connection, chaos. I wanted to be part of it. I wanted to walk in, smile, dance, let myself get swept up in the madness of a werewolf post wedding celebration.But my feet wouldn’t move.This was Aradia’s night. Her grooms had arrived hours ago, and the three of them were probably tangled up somewhere in the crowd, laughing, kissing, being the center of everything. She didn’t need to babysit me. She shouldn’t have to.And that left me… alone.Not just alone in a room. Alone in a house full of wolves who weren’t human, who scented everything, who moved like predators even when they were smiling.I didn’t know their customs, their inside jokes, their rules. I didn’t know how to talk to them without feeling like a child trying to play wit

  • The Alpha's Naughty Human   20:The Million-Dollar Lie

    Zolani’s pov We finished breakfast in companionable chaos, pack members drifting over to hug Aradia, tease her about the wedding, and ask me endless questions about “human traditions.”I answered politely, smiled when I was supposed to, laughed when they expected it. My plate was empty, my coffee cold, and my stomach was full but the moment I pushed back my chair, Aradia grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the dining hall like she had a mission.“Should I give Ronan your contact info?” she announced as we moved down the corridor, her voice loud enough to echo off the stone walls. “And yes...he’s willing to pay a million to get it from me.”“What!” I rolled my eyes so hard I felt it in my skull. “That’s unrealistic.”She laughed bright, and unhinged. “Girl, he’s old money. Loaded. Not as rich as Daddy, but he could buy half this town without blinking. So should I give it to him? I take the money and give you. Savings. Capital. Whatever you want.”I opened my mouth to tell her no, f

  • The Alpha's Naughty Human   19: What She Deserves.

    Zolani’s POVI paced the room like a trapped animal, phone clutched in one hand, thumb swiping the screen every few seconds as if sheer willpower could force Evan’s name to appear.But nothing happened. No missed call. No text. No “sorry I missed you, babe, why did you end my call” or even a lame emoji. Just silence. The same cold, indifferent silence I’d gotten used to over the years.I deserved better.I deserved to be loved the way other girls were, the way they are loved fiercely, obsessively, and stupidly. I deserved late-night calls just because someone missed my voice.I deserved flowers for no reason, silly arguments that ended in make-up sex, someone who’d drop everything when I was spiraling. I deserved to throw a tantrum, loud, childish, irrational and have someone wrap me up, kiss my forehead, and say, “Okay, baby, tell me what you need.”I wanted to be spoiled, damn it.I kicked the chair hard, wood scraping across the floor with a satisfying screech.“Curse you, Evan,” I

  • The Alpha's Naughty Human   18: Déjà Vu?

    Zolani’s POV“Little human…”The voice pulled me out of the dark like a hook through my sternum.My eyes snapped open.Morning light sliced through the heavy curtains, it was soft gold, and almost gentle, nothing like the storm that had raged last night.The room smelled of dying embers, expensive sheets, and… him. Pine. Smoke. Blood long gone but still haunting the air and I wonder why his scent was so strong in my room.I blinked. My head throbbed sharp, and insistent, like someone had taken a hammer to my skull while I slept.“Ouch…”I clutched my temples, fingers pressing hard against the ache, trying to force the fog to clear.I remembered fragments.I’d come back to the room after the hallway… after Cassian had dragged me away from Ronan’s car, after he’d pinned me against him and kissed me like he wanted to devour my soul.I’d stumbled inside, robe falling open, body still screaming for him. I’d touched myself, slow at first, then frantic, his name spilling from my lips like a

    ZolaniI checked my phone for the third time in ten minutes, thumb hovering over the screen like it might magically summon a missed call from Evan or a text from my parents. Nothing. Just the same empty lock screen staring back at me... some generic mountain photo I’d downloaded because it looked p

    Zolani’s POV “How far can a good girl go?” Cassian asked, voice low and velvet-wrapped steel, each word dragging over my skin.His hand moved slowly and deliberately, fingers sliding up my throat until his palm settled around the column of my neck.He wasn't squeezing or choking. Just holding, and

    ZolaniI woke up to Aradia poking my cheek like she was checking whether I’d expired in my sleep.“Blink if you’re alive,” she said. “Snore if you’re possessed.”I groaned and rolled onto my side, dragging the fur duvet over my head. “If you don’t leave me alone, I will haunt you. Loudly.”“Rude,”
