“But you shouldn’t have—”

“Didn’t you like it?”

His question came without warning, sharp as a blade through silence. It stole the air from my lungs, left me suspended between thought and response. My lips parted, but no words came. Why would he ask that? Why reduce something so tangled to something so simple?

“That’s… not what I meant.”

“Yes or no?” he insisted, his expression carved from something unreadable, steady and unyielding.

A tight knot formed in my throat. I swallowed against it, my f

    How was he so calm about it?The day Carter found out about my panic attacks, he laughed at me—said I had completely lost my mind. It hurt more than I ever expected… but I let it go, telling myself at least he hadn’t walked away.I shook my head, pushing the memory aside.“I’m really… really sorry,” I whispered. “It won’t happen again. I promise.”I couldn’t burden him with my problems. Not again.“luana, would you like to see our winter garden?”His question caught me off guard. Slowly, I lifted my head to look at him. There was no trace of annoyance or mockery on his face—only calm sincerity.“The winter garden?” I repeated softly.“Yes.” He stood and extended his hand toward me. “Come on. I think you’ll like it.”Was he trying to make me feel better?My chest tightened at the thought.I placed my hand in his, letting him lead me outside the mansion. The cold air bit into my skin like tiny needles, sharp and unforgiving, even through my sweater.“Your coat is too thin for this weath

    I gave a small nod. “Alright.” A sharp whistle suddenly sliced through the silence, making both of us turn toward the doorway. A man stood there with an amused smile playing on his lips. It was grey, the Beta. “Why are you still here?” Kyle asked, his voice turning cold in an instant. I blinked in surprise. Since when had he been standing there? I hadn’t sensed him at all. Grey only lifted a shoulder in a careless shrug. “You never told me to leave, so I stayed.” Kyle’s expression darkened. “Since when did you start acting so stupid?” A grin spread across Grey's face. “How could I possibly miss a sight like this? The brooding Alpha finally getting close to a girl? This is historic. I should take a picture and post it on my blog. At the very least, the media might finally stop calling you gay.” “Get out.” “You’ll thank me later.” Grey clicked his tongue and pointed a finger before turning to me with a teasing smile. “Welcome to the land of rude elites, luana. And be careful arou

    “Listen carefully, girl.” The Pack Mother’s voice hardened, every word edged with authority. “If you wish to behave like a cheap roadside whore, take that behavior beyond these walls. Such immodesty has no place in this house.”Her words struck harder than I expected, leaving me momentarily still, trying to gather my thoughts.A whore? For a simple top and ripped jeans?I knew my outfit wasn’t exactly suited to the weather in Blackwood, but had I known I’d be coming here, I would have dressed differently—something more… acceptable. Still, how could she call my clothes immodest? They covered enough. Back in the crimson pack, I’d endured my share of taunts, but never about indecency—only about how little my clothes were worth. Even then, I had always made sure I looked presentable.She stepped closer, her presence looming. “And forget everything your pack taught you,” she added coldly. “Things are different here. Break the rules, and you will be punished.”The message was clear without

    Back in my old pack, I had grown used to living in a cramped space. Maria’s home wasn’t exactly small, but compared to this… it felt worlds apart. The moment I stepped into the room, its luxury overwhelmed me. I couldn’t even picture myself staying here—it was far too big. My old room wasn’t even half this size.He lifted an eyebrow, studying me. “Why? Don’t you like it?”I shook my head quickly. “No, it’s not that. It’s just…” I hesitated, my voice dropping. “What if my presence bothers you?”A frown crossed his face as he glanced toward the balcony, his expression turning thoughtful. “Hmm… now that is a concern.”“Yes. You get my point, Alpha,” I replied, completely missing the faint trace of amusement in his tone.He turned back to me and stepped closer, the air between us tightening with each inch he closed. His arms slipped around my waist, pulling me firmly against him. I gasped at the sudden movement as he forced me to face him. His gaze locked onto mine—deep, intense, impossi

My lips parted, but no words came. Why would he ask that? Why reduce something so tangled to something so simple?“That’s… not what I meant.”“Yes or no?” he insisted, his expression carved from something unreadable, steady and unyielding.A tight knot formed in my throat. I swallowed against it, my fingers curling into the fabric of my dress as if it could anchor me. Had I disappointed him? Had I already failed in ways I didn’t understand?“I…” My voice faltered. I looked away, unable to bear the weight of his gaze. “I liked it.”The confession slipped out, soft and fragile, like something that might break if spoken any louder.“Then don’t apologize for it.”I lifted my eyes slowly, cautiously. There it was—a faint smile, almost hidden, but real. No anger. No irritation. Nothing to confirm

    “Then I’m glad you wanted to experience it with me. Tell me… what else haven’t you tried?” I asked, my curiosity impossible to hide.She froze for a heartbeat, her wide eyes lifting to meet mine before darting away again. A faint blush crept across her cheeks. “Uh… I think the list is endless,” she admitted softly, a nervous smile curving her full lips.My gaze caught there, lingering longer than it should have. Those lips were distracting in ways I didn’t care to admit. Slowly, I dragged my eyes back to hers.I had only met her a few hours ago, yet my thoughts were already straying into dangerous places—visions of stolen moments, whispered confessions, and all the firsts I wanted to claim beside her.But she was cautious, wrapped tightly in walls built long before I arrived. I could see it in the way she held herself, the hesitation in every glance. Winning her trust would take time. Patience. Care.And for her… I was willing to wait.Because one thing was certain—she was staying wit
