I'd been sitting in my car for eight minutes.

Eight minutes of watching the café window, of telling myself this was a coincidence. I'd driven past and seen Lucas come out the back with Emma, seen him walk away with his hands in his pockets and that look on his face.

The one I hadn't seen in years. The one that meant something had shifted inside him.

The face of a satisfied man. And it worried me more than I cared to admit. The last time he had that look, he ended up heartbroken.

I'd pulled ov

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 47: The Forgery (Emma's POV)

    I couldn't sleep.The room was too quiet, the darkness too heavy. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Julian's face. Her smile. Her words echoing in my head.He's been hiding things from you since day one.I rolled over. Checked my phone. 11:47 PM.I stared at the time for several seconds before putting the phone back on the nightstand.I closed my eyes.Five seconds later, I opened them again.My mind wouldn't stop.Mara.The curse.Greyson.The ultimatum.Julian.Everything she had said during the confrontation kept circling through my head.I knew she had lied to me.I knew she had manipulated my powers.I knew she had tried to make me dependent on her.But that didn't mean everything she said was false.That was what scared me.Then it buzzed.A message from an unknown number. But the content stopped my heart."We need to meet. Just us. No witnesses. I'll tell you everything. —L"I stared at the screen. Read it again. Read it a third time.Lucas wanted to meet me alone? No witnesse

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 46: The Confrontation (Emma's POV)

    Julian walked into the estate like she owned it.Two pack members flanked her as escorts. She'd come willingly. That alone made me nervous. She moved through the front hall with that same confident stride, that same perfect posture, that same smile that never quite reached her eyes.She stopped in the center of the room. Looked at me. Looked at Lucas. Her smile widened."So. You've found out."I stepped forward. My legs were still shaky from the destabilization, but I forced them to hold me. "You tried to break me.""I tried to make you easier to control." She tilted her head. "There's a difference."Lucas moved beside me. His presence was a statement—a wall between me and her. "You manipulated her. You lied to her. You used her fear against her.""She wouldn't have listened to me otherwise." Julian shrugged. "You should be thanking me. I showed her what she was up against.""You showed me you can't be trusted." My voice was steady. Surer than I felt.Julian's smile flickered. Just fo

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 45: The Hold (Lucas' POV)

    I held her unconscious body against my chest and tried to breathe.Her face was pale. Too pale. The gold light was gone from her eyes, but her skin was cold, and her heartbeat was too slow. "Wake up." My voice cracked. "Come on. Wake up."She didn't move.I tightened my arms around her."Emma, please."Nothing.The courtyard was still covered in the aftermath of her power surge. Cracks ran through the stone beneath us. A few lights had gone out. The air still smelled like something had burned.But I barely noticed any of it.All I could see was her.I should have told her sooner. About Julian. About the technique. About all of it. Olivia had gone to look for proof, and I'd waited, thinking there was time.There wasn't.If I had told Emma what we suspected earlier, maybe she wouldn't have trusted Julian.Maybe she wouldn't have spent weeks practicing those exercises.Maybe she wouldn't be lying unconscious in my arms now.The pack gathered around us. I heard footsteps, voices, the shu

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 44: The Destabilization (Emma's POV)

    I was alone in the courtyard when it started.The night was quiet. The kind of quiet that pressed against your ears and made you hear things that weren't there. I'd been practicing for an hour. Julian's techniques. Suppression. Control. Regulation. The exercises she'd taught me in the gym, the ones I'd believed were making me stronger.I thought I was improving.I was wrong.I stood in the center of the courtyard, feet apart, hands loose at my sides. The way Julian had shown me. I closed my eyes and reached for the power—the warmth in my chest, the pulse under my skin.Usually, I could feel it almost immediately.Tonight, it felt distant.I frowned and reached deeper.It flickered.Weak. Inconsistent. Like a candle guttering in the wind.I opened my eyes.For a second, everything looked normal. The stone walls. The trees surrounding the courtyard. The dim lights shining across the path.Then my vision blurred.I blinked hard."Come on," I whispered.I closed my eyes again.I remembere

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 43: The Plan (Emma's POV)

    I pushed open the doors to the main hall.The room went quiet. Pack members turned to look at me—some wary, some curious, some hopeful. I felt the weight of their gaze like a physical thing, pressing against my shoulders."I want to help."Lucas was at the head of the table, maps spread out in front of him. He looked up when I spoke. His jaw tightened."You should rest.""I've rested enough." I walked toward the table. "Tell me what happened. Tell me what's coming."Olivia was the one who answered. "Greyson's pack retreated, but they'll regroup. They're not done." She looked at me steadily. "They want you, Emma. And they'll keep coming until they get you.""Then we don't let them."A few pack members exchanged looks.I knew what they were thinking.I was seventeen.I was still learning how to control the power inside me.And only hours ago, I'd watched Lucas lose control of something that had nearly killed him.But I wasn't going to sit in a room while everyone else risked their lives

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 42: The Mark (Lucas' POV)

    I sat up too fast.The room spun. Pain shot through my shoulder, my ribs, my arms—everywhere the bandages were wrapped. I ignored it. My eyes found Emma first. She was sitting beside the cot, her hand still wrapped around mine. Her face was pale, her eyes red-rimmed."How long was I out?""Four hours."Her voice was quiet.I looked at the room. The medical room was dim, with only a small lamp glowing near the wall. The air smelled like herbs, medicine, and dried blood.Four hours.It felt like I had only closed my eyes for a few seconds.I looked down at our hands. Emma hadn't let go of me."You stayed here?"She nodded."You should have gone home.""I wasn't leaving."I wanted to argue, but another wave of pain moved through my body. I gritted my teeth and lowered my head.Emma immediately tightened her grip."Are you okay?""I'm fine."She gave me a look."Don't lie."I almost smiled.Almost.Then I looked down at my hands.They looked normal. Felt normal. But something was wrong. I

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 4: The Hidden Power (Lucas' POV)

    I hid in the shadows of the trees, watching Emma stroll through the park near her house. The sun dipped low, casting long shadows over the grass. She looked lost in thought, her brown hair catching the light. That pull hit me hard—the bond tugging at my chest like a rope yanking me forward. I shou

    I rushed down the sidewalk toward school, my backpack slapping against my side with every step. Tears stung my eyes from the fight with Marcus, but I blinked them away. His words echoed in my head—selfish, burden, helpless. The house felt like a cage, and school was my only escape today. I just wa

    I sat at the kitchen table, my fingers nervously picking at the edges of a half-eaten sandwich. The bread was dry, the meal thrown together in a hurry before school. My mind raced back to last night. Dad's breakdown, the eviction notice looming like a dark cloud. The house already felt stifling. I

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 1: The Weight of a Broken Dream (Emma's POV)

    "Emma, honey. We need to talk.” Dad said as the door to the kitchen swung open. He walked in, his face drawn tight with worry. He looked older than his age, lines deep around his eyes. He rubbed his hands together, like he always did when bad news brewed.My stomach dropped.I was sitting on the c
