LOGIN"Let’s go on a proper date, with flowers and candles, his lips twitched in a cocky smile, he leaned in forward, inhaling my scent like a drug he was addicted to. “And then what?” I replied, quivering. His lips were too distracting as they stood dangerously close to mine. "We can pretend to get to know each other if you want. And after that, I can fuck you senseless." Looking up to meet his dark gaze. I swallowed hard, I had only two choices, but whichever I chose, I knew I was screwed. Zach always knew his mate was out there, but at 25, after searching every pack, he had nearly given up hope. Then came Nicole, on the run from a broken past, scarred by betrayal after a humiliating scandal with her crush who sinisterly released a sex tape of her that would haunt her for life. She’s sworn never to trust any man, but destiny had other plans. What happens when the one person you’re meant to love is the last person you think you can trust?

A part of me wanted to knock, to ask if he was okay, to step in and make whatever was wrong just a little easier. But another part of me, the more anxious part, kept whispering that I was the reason he had shut down in the first place.He had barely spoken the night before, not even when I tried to ask if he needed anything. He had simply nodded, retreated into his room, and closed the door. The soft click of the latch had felt final, like a barrier I shouldn’t cross. So I didn’t. I spent half the night trying to convince myself that giving him space was the right thing to do. Maybe he needed room to breathe. Maybe he needed quiet. Maybe… maybe he needed distance from me.By morning, I had made up my mind to talk to him, really talk and stop dancing around the tension that had been building all week. Leah had rush
Nicole My mouth parted slightly, shock rippling through me as his words landed. I was still holding a napkin, when Zach casually dropped that sentence into the room like it was nothing. The girls burst into giggles, of course they did , because to them anything involving babies, or the word “kids,” was instantly hilarious. Jack laughed too, shaking his head like he’d just walked into a sitcom. But Leah? Leah turned to Zach so sharply I swear I heard the air slice. “Oh?” she said slowly, eyebrows climbing. “You asked her that?” Her tone was laced with annoyance. I could feel my face heating up again. Why was I the only person in this house permanently embarrassed? Why was my emotional stability suddenly a family project? Zach didn’t even show an ounce of remorse for his comment. If anything, he looked carefree and very amused. “It was a joke.” A joke. Real funny. I stared at the napkin like it was the most interesting thing on earth. If it could’ve grown legs and
Nicole The hot water pounded against my shoulders, steam curling around me like a cocoon, but it didn’t wash away the thoughts that kept replaying in my mind. Zach. Kids. The words had slipped from his lips so casually, and yet, they had struck me like a bolt of lightning. Why does everything have to be so complicated? I came here to clear my head, and recover from what happened with Kayden, but here I was getting entangled into even more drama. It was almost as if I had a knack for these things. I leaned my forehead against the cool tile, trying to steady my racing heart. I could still feel the warmth of his teasing smirk, the intensity in his eyes as he asked if I wanted kids. I’d frozen. Completely. Utterly. Staring at him as if he’d just asked me to climb Everest naked. He had asked to join me in the shower afterward, and though part of me had wanted to say yes, I had politely declined. I needed space, time to breathe, to think. Was this just another one of his teas
Zach The house was quiet, well, as quiet as it could be with Leah and Jack’s two little whirlwinds around. I glanced at Nicole, who was perched on the edge of the bed, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. The kids had finally dozed off in the living room after a chaotic evening of bedtime stories, giggles, and not-so-gentle wrestling matches. The itinerary were the same for each day, wake up, spend half an hour trying to wake the kids, get them to do something as simple as brushing their teeth, get them to bath and the most important part, serve them breakfast. Did I mention how spoiled these kids were? I mean I did contribute to that, but being the stand-in dad was completely different from being the fun uncle. I finally understood why Leah often reprimanded me for being too liberal with the girls. At the mention of Uncle Zach, I’m racing through the thickest glass doors to indulge in whatever mischief they may have up their sleeves. Some days, I even play the
