Chapter 7: Rules (Lucas's POV)

Author: Alex Steel
last update publish date: 2026-08-13 20:49:33

I stared at Emma from across the cafeteria table and tried very hard not to react. For the first time in weeks, my wolf had gone completely quiet.

No growling, no pacing, no constant pressure in the back of my mind. Just silence. That should have worried me.

Instead, it made me notice stupid things, like the way she sat with her shoulders squared, refusing to back down, or how she held my gaze without flinching.

I pushed those thoughts away.

"You shouldn't be sitting here."

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 7: Rules (Lucas's POV)

    I stared at Emma from across the cafeteria table and tried very hard not to react. For the first time in weeks, my wolf had gone completely quiet.No growling, no pacing, no constant pressure in the back of my mind. Just silence. That should have worried me.Instead, it made me notice stupid things, like the way she sat with her shoulders squared, refusing to back down, or how she held my gaze without flinching.I pushed those thoughts away."You shouldn't be sitting here."Emma glanced around the nearly empty table before looking back at me. "Funny. I don't see anyone else's name on the seat."I looked down at the note she'd dropped between us."You got my message.""Obviously.""Then why are you here?"She leaned forward. "Because I have questions."I sighed. Of course she did. Before I could stop her, she fired them off."What exactly is a fated mate? What does that mean for me? And what do you actually want from me?"I rubbed my jaw. Three questions. Two of them were dangerous. On

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 6: The Morning After (Emma's POV)

    I woke up before my alarm and for a second, I just stared at the ceiling. Then it all came rushing back. The forest, the full moon, Lucas and his wolf.My hand twitched against the blanket. The same hand that had touched his fur.I lifted it in front of my face and flexed my fingers. Everything looked normal. Five fingers, same skin and same hand.But it didn't feel the same. It still felt warm, like the spark from last night was trapped under my skin.The alarm suddenly blared beside me. I jumped and slapped it off."Right," I muttered. "School. Because apparently werewolves don't cancel school."Thankfully I had taken a bath earlier and worn my clothes. So, I dragged myself out of bed. The dishes in the sink were still there and needed my attention.The cracked paint on my bedroom wall was still there, just like the eviction notice downstairs was probably still there too.Last night had been impossible.This morning was painfully normal.I hated it.A few minutes later, I walked int

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 5: The Moonlit Transformation (Emma's POV)

    I stood at the edge of the park the next night, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. The full moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over everything. Lucas's words from yesterday echoed in my head—I’m not joking, Emma. You’ll see the truth soon enough. Part of me wanted to run home and forget it all, but the pull inside me, that weird tug toward him, kept my feet planted.He appeared from the shadows, his tall frame cutting through the dim light. His gray eyes locked on mine, intense as always. "You came," he said, his voice low and rough.I crossed my arms, trying to hide how nervous I felt. "Yeah. But don't think I'm buying your crazy story yet. Werewolves? Bonds? It's ridiculous."He smirked, just a little, but it didn't reach his eyes. "We'll see." He nodded toward the trees beyond the park. "Come on. The forest is better for this."I hesitated, biting my lip. Curiosity burned in me, mixed with fear. But I followed him anyway, our footsteps crunching on the leaves

  • 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 should stay away. After losing my first mate in that attack, and then Julian betraying me for power, getting close to anyone felt like a death sentence. But Emma... she was different. Fated. My wolf growled inside, urging me on.My phone buzzed. Olivia. I answered, keeping my voice low. "What?""Lucas, don't do this," she said, her tone sharp. "I saw you head toward her place after school. You're playing with fire. Remember what happened last time? You can't drag her into our world."I ran a hand through my hair, frustration building. Olivia was my best friend, my packmate, always looking out. But she didn't feel this bond. "I have to, Liv. She's part of it. I can't ignore the pull or stay away

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 3: The Transfer Student (Emma's POV)

    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 wanted a normal day, no drama, no pressure.Just before I reached the building, I stopped to catch my breath. That's when I saw him. The new transfer student, leaning against the fence. Lucas. Tall, with dark brown hair falling over his forehead and those piercing gray eyes. He looked strong, like he could handle anything, but something about him felt off, too intense, too watchful. My heart skipped. Why was he staring at me?Our eyes locked. Heat crept up my neck. I felt intrigued, pulled toward him, but self-conscious too. I wasn't used to attention. I liked blending in, staying quiet. But he held my gaze, like he saw right through me."Emma!" Rachel's voice cut in from behind. I jumped, s

  • The Wolf Prince's Fated Mate    Chapter 2: Shattered Bonds (Emma's POV)

    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 glanced at the clock. I was supposed to be ready for the day, get my stuff together for school, but how could I focus? How could I go about anything like everything wasn’t falling apart?I needed to leave soon, but my legs felt heavy, stuck in place by the fear twisting in my gut.The front door banged open. Marcus stormed in, his boots thudding against the floor. His eyes locked on me, blazing with anger. "Emma! What the hell? You didn't even clean up after dinner last night.” He snapped, turning on me before I even had a chance to respond. “Do you even care about anything anymore? The house is falling apart, and you’re just sitting here like it doesn’t matter!”I froze. The words felt l

  • 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
