Sophia Pov

The morning began with tension. Not the kind that came from Damien. Not the kind that followed me through crowded hallways and whispered conversations. This tension belonged to Ethan. I noticed it the moment I walked into the kitchen.

He was standing beside the counter, phone pressed against his ear, his expression unusually serious. The dark circles beneath his eyes told me he hadn't slept much. Neither had I.

Ever since the attack at school, my mind refused to settle. I found mysel

  • The Guardian's Mate   Chapter Fifteen: The Alpha's Summons

    Ethan PovThe drive home felt longer than it should have. The call from my father had been brief, leaving no room for questions. "Come home immediately." No explanation. No reassurance. Just an order.My father wasn't a man who summoned his children without reason. If Alpha Liam Blackwood asked for my presence, something important had happened.The familiar iron gates of the Blackwood Estate slowly opened as my car approached. Home. I hadn't been back in weeks, yet nothing had changed.The sprawling stone mansion stood proudly against the morning sky, surrounded by towering pine trees and acres of protected land. Guards patrolled the perimeter with practiced precision, acknowledging my arrival with respectful nods.This place had shaped every part of who I was. A home. A fortress. The heart of the Blackwood Pack.I stepped out of the car and barely reached the front steps before the doors swung open."You're late." Gabriel's deep voice greeted me.I looked up to find my older brother

  • The Guardian's Mate   Chapter Fourteen: Investigation

    Sophia Pov Silence. That was all I could hear. Not the whispers of frightened students. Not the distant wail of approaching sirens. Not even my own heartbeat. Only silence.I stood frozen where I was, unable to tear my eyes away from Mia's lifeless body. Just minutes ago, she had been laughing across the lunch table, teasing me about Ethan and Nathan.Now… She wasn't breathing. Her eyes remained open, staring at nothing. Someone gently pulled me backward. I didn't resist.Nathan positioned himself in front of me, blocking my view. "You don't need to see this."His usually calm voice carried an unfamiliar edge. It wasn't fear. It was anger. A dangerous kind of anger.I lowered my head, but the image refused to leave my mind. The blood. The wound. The emptiness in Mia's eyes. My stomach lurched. I turned away and barely made it to a nearby flower bed before everything I had eaten came back up. Nathan remained beside me without saying a word.He simply waited.When I finally straightene

    Sophia PovThe morning began with tension. Not the kind that came from Damien. Not the kind that followed me through crowded hallways and whispered conversations. This tension belonged to Ethan. I noticed it the moment I walked into the kitchen.He was standing beside the counter, phone pressed against his ear, his expression unusually serious. The dark circles beneath his eyes told me he hadn't slept much. Neither had I.Ever since the attack at school, my mind refused to settle. I found myself replaying the fight over and over again. The blood. The growls. The way Ethan stood alone against three wolves without backing down. Something about it continued to haunt me."Yes, Dad." Ethan's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I paused. Dad? I had never heard him sound this formal before.Whatever Alpha Liam was saying, it clearly wasn't good.Ethan's jaw tightened. "I understand."A pause. Then another. Finally, he sighed."I'll leave immediately."The call ended. For several seconds, he re

  • The Guardian's Mate   Chapter Twelve: Blood and Shadows

    Sophia Pov Something was wrong. I felt it long before I understood it.The university hallway was crowded with students moving between classes, yet an uneasy feeling settled deep inside my chest. Ethan had been gone longer than expected. After the meeting with the principal, he told me he would be back soon. That had been nearly twenty minutes ago.I sat alone in the library, pretending to read a textbook while my attention remained fixed on the entrance. Every time the door opened, I looked up. Every time, disappointment followed. No Ethan. No message. Nothing. I hated that I cared.A week ago, I would have celebrated being left alone. Now the silence made me nervous. My fingers tightened around the edge of the book."Get a grip, Sophia," I muttered.Ethan was a Guardian. He could take care of himself. Still, the feeling wouldn't leave. I finally closed the book and stood. Maybe I should look for him. The thought surprised me.Since when was I looking for wolves? Since Ethan. I imme

  • The Guardian's Mate   Chapter Eleven: Ambush

    Ethan Pov The walk to the principal's office felt longer than it should have. Sophia remained beside me, unusually quiet after what had happened in class. I didn't blame her.Damien had a way of turning every situation into a spectacle. And unfortunately, this time he had an audience.The principal sat behind his desk while the teacher who had reported the incident stood nearby with her arms folded. Damien occupied one of the chairs, looking entirely too pleased with himself.His smug expression immediately irritated me.I took the seat beside Sophia. The principal cleared his throat."Let's settle this like adults."I almost laughed. There was only one adult in this room trying to start fights, and it wasn't me.The teacher began explaining what happened. Or rather, her version of what happened. As she spoke, my irritation slowly grew.She conveniently left out Damien's comments. She ignored the intimidation.She skipped over the threats. Instead, she painted him as an innocent vict

  • The Guardian's Mate   Chapter Ten: Pushed Too Far

    Ethan Pov I hated the cafeteria. The noise. The crowds. The smell of hundreds of different meals mixing together.Everything about the place irritated me.For years, I had avoided eating there whenever possible.Most days, I grabbed something on the way to class or ate somewhere quieter.Today was different. Today, I was here because of Sophia. The moment I entered the cafeteria, dozens of conversations stopped. People stared. Some tried to hide it. Most didn't. Their eyes moved between Sophia and me. The whispers started immediately. I ignored them. I had spent my entire life learning how to ignore attention.Being the son of Alpha Liam Blackwood came with its own complications. People watched. People talked. People judged.None of that mattered. What mattered was the woman sitting alone near the corner of the room. Sophia.She sat with her shoulders slightly tense, pretending not to notice the attention surrounding her. But I knew she noticed.I could smell her anxiety from across
