The Alpha's dirty game CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
~RAELIYA~ Distance doesn’t weaken an Alpha.It exposes him.I learned that Kaelric stood beside me in public for the first time, not because he wanted to, but because the pack expected it.The council had called for a gathering at the eastern grounds. Nothing dramatic. Just reports, patrol rotations, reassurance after the recent unrest. Still, appearances mattered. Alphas didn’t show division. And lovers, even pretend ones, stood together.Kaelric didn’t ask me to come.He simply waited by the door, jacket on, posture stiff, eyes already dark when I descended the stairs.“We’re late,” he said.“I’m ready,” I replied.No argument.No softness.We walked side by side without touching each other.And everyone noticed.The murmurs followed us like shadows.“She’s usually closer.”“Did something happen?”“He looks angry.”Kaelric felt it too. His steps slowed just enough for his presence to brush against mine, not touching, but close enough to remind me he was there.Claiming space.Not

~RAELIYA~ Distance is a strange thing.When you first decide to create it, it feels empowering. Like finally stepping out of a storm and shutting the door behind you. Quiet settles in. Peace follows.But then the echoes start.Every footstep you don’t hear.Every presence you no longer feel hovering near.Every glance you deliberately refuse to catch.That was where I found myself.I woke before dawn, the sky still dark, the mansion wrapped in a hush that felt heavier than sleep. For the first time in days, my chest didn’t ache when I opened my eyes.That didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.It just meant I’d learned how to carry it.I dressed slowly, choosing something simple, long sleeves, soft fabric, neutral colors. Nothing that invited attention. Nothing that reminded me of her. Of the kind of woman Kaelric had once wanted.When I stepped into the hallway, I nearly ran into him.Kaelric stood outside his room, fully dressed, eyes already on me like he’d been waiting.We froze.The air be

~RAELIYA~ When Kaelric called it a mistake, something inside me went quiet.Not shattered.Not screaming.Just… quiet.I lay awake long after he left the living room, staring at the ceiling while the echoes of his voice replayed over and over. The way he’d said it wasn’t cruel. That almost made it worse. There was no anger to fight against, no heat to cling to.Just finality.A mistake.The kiss I hadn’t expected.The warmth I hadn’t allowed myself to want.The way my heart had betrayed me so easily.All reduced to one word.By morning, I’d made a decision.If Kaelric wanted distance, then I would give it to him so completely he’d never doubt it again.~The house was already awake when I came downstairs. Sunlight spilled through the tall windows, illuminating the marble floors, making the mansion look almost warm. Almost lived in.Kaelric stood near the counter, dressed in dark slacks and a crisp shirt, his sleeves rolled up the way they always were when he planned to leave early.

~KAELRIC~ I didn’t sleep.I lay beside her with my eyes open, staring at the ceiling as dawn crept in through the curtains like a thief, stealing something I wasn’t ready to give up.Raeliya was curled against my side, warm and real, her breathing slow and even. One arm rested across my chest as if she belonged there, as if this was natural. As if my body hadn’t been screaming for her presence for weeks, as if the ache I felt when she wasn’t near wasn’t a warning bell I’d been ignoring.The mark beneath her skin pulsed faintly.So did the one buried deep inside me.It terrified me how right this felt.Last night replayed in fragments behind my eyes, her trembling body pressed against mine, the way she gasped my name like it was a lifeline, the way the mark flared when I touched her, when I kissed her, when I finally gave in to the hunger I’d been denying.I’d told myself it was instinct.Proximity.The adrenaline from nearly losing her.That was a lie.This wasn’t instinct.This was

~RAELIYA~ I knew something was wrong before it happened.The mark had been restless all day, a faint ache pulsing beneath my skin like a warning my body couldn’t quite translate. I tried to ignore it, telling myself it was just exhaustion or stress. Everything lately felt heavy, like I was constantly bracing for something unseen.After the incident with Chase, Kaelric kept his distance again.Not the controlled, deliberate distance we’d agreed on.This was different.This was restraint.He barely looked at me unless we were in public, and even then, his touch was possessive to the point of being suffocating, hand firm at my waist, fingers laced tightly with mine, his presence looming in a way that made others step back instinctively.The pack whispered.They always did.I overheard fragments as I passed through the courtyard that afternoon.“She calms him…”“Have you seen how he reacts when she’s not around?”“She’s dangerous in her own way.”Dangerous.The word settled uncomfortabl

~RAELIYA~ The moment my hand touched her mark, I knew I’d crossed a line.Not because of the rule we’d set.Not because of pride.But because the relief that surged through my body was instant and devastating.The pain that had been clawing at my chest all day eased like it had never existed. My breathing steadied. My thoughts cleared. My wolf, restless and snarling beneath my skin for days now, finally went still.Raeliya stiffened under my touch.Not in fear.In awareness.The kind that made my blood heat and my control strain.I pulled my hand away too quickly, curling my fingers into my palm as if that would erase the fact that my body already knew hers far too well.“I’ll… leave,” I said, my voice rougher than I intended.She didn’t stop me.That hurt more than I expected.I walked back to the room with clenched teeth, shutting the door harder than necessary. The silence inside pressed down on me immediately. Empty. Cold. Wrong.This house was never meant to feel like this.I le
