Too Broken To Be Loved Chapter Thirteen
The morning air is crisp when Oakley and I step out of the apartment building, my duffel slung over his shoulder like it weighs nothing. It’s early—too early for my wolf’s liking—but she’s alert, ears pricked, pacing just beneath my skin. She knows today matters. She knows we’re walking into something big.Oakley walks beside me, quiet but steady. His magic hums faintly, brushing against my senses like a warm breeze. It’s not intentional—his emotions always leak into the air around him—but it’s comforting. Familiar. A reminder that I’m not doing this alone.We round the corner of the building, and I spot the SUV parked at the curb.Colton is leaning against the driver’s side door, arms crossed, posture relaxed in a way that’s too deliberate to be natural. He’s trying not to look intimidating. Trying not to loom. Trying not to let the Alpha bleed through too strongly.My wolf notices anyway.His eyes lift the moment he senses us—sharp, assessing, but not unkind. Lenox stands a few
Too Broken To Be Loved Chapter Twelve
The apartment feels too still.Not quiet — still. Like the air itself is holding its breath. My wolf paces under my skin, restless, uneasy, sensing the shift in my emotions even before I fully understand them myself. Wolves don’t like change. Wolves don’t like uncertainty. And right now, I’m drowning in both.Oakley moves around the room behind me, his magic humming faintly in the air. It’s subtle, like a soft vibration against my senses, but my wolf notices it instantly. She always notices him. Not in a threatening way — more like she’s aware of him the way she’s aware of fire. Dangerous, but warm. Something to respect, not fear.He stands in the doorway of my room, watching me shove clothes into a duffel bag with far more force than necessary. “You don’t have to rush,” he says gently.“I’m not rushing.”My wolf snorts at the lie.Oakley steps inside, picking up a shirt I tossed aside and folding it neatly. His magic flickers around his fingers — a faint shimmer, like dust catc
Too Broken To Be Loved Chapter Eleven
The office feels different now.Not lighter—nothing about this situation is light—but the air isn’t pressing down on my lungs the way it was a few minutes ago. Something has shifted. Something subtle but unmistakable. And I’m not sure if that terrifies me more than the silence that came before it.Colton’s words are still hanging in the air, steady and unyielding. You’re not walking into that pack alone. It shouldn’t mean as much as it does. It shouldn’t make something in my chest loosen, shouldn’t make my pulse settle, shouldn’t make me feel… safer.But it does.And that scares me more than anything else in this room.I sit back slowly, unclasping my hands before I realize how tightly I’d been holding them together. My fingers ache from the pressure. Oakley notices—of course he does—and shifts slightly, like he’s ready to step in if I so much as wobble. He doesn’t say anything, but the quiet support radiating off him is almost enough to make my throat tighten.Almost.I force
Too Broken To Be Loved Chapter Ten
The office feels too damn quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet—this is the heavy, suffocating kind that settles over a room when everyone is thinking too much and saying too little. The four of us are still seated exactly where we were after the argument fizzled out: Oakley still sitting next to Kieara, posture stiff but calm; Lenox still standing behind Kieara like he’s trying to pretend he’s not invested; and Kieara across from me, spine straight, hands clasped tightly in her lap.She looks composed. But the bond tells me otherwise.Her emotions brush against me like faint static—uncertainty, tension, a flicker of fear she’s trying to bury. I don’t reach for it. I don’t push. I just sit with it, letting her have her privacy even if the bond makes that nearly impossible.I clear my throat, breaking the silence. “We need to talk about the move.”Kieara’s eyes lift to mine, guarded but steady. “So, talk.”Oakley shoots her a quick, worried glance, but she doesn’t notice. Lenox r
Too Broken To Be Loved Chapter Nine
For a long moment, I can’t speak. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to feel. Colton’s words hang in the air between us—steady, patient, nothing like the forceful Alpha who’s been looming over my life since the moment this bond snapped into place. And that almost makes it harder. I was prepared for anger. For pressure. For him to demand something from me I wasn’t ready to give. But this… this quiet sincerity? I don’t know what to do with it.I look at him—really look at him. The tension in his shoulders has eased, his posture open instead of imposing. He’s giving me space. Me. The girl he barely knows but is somehow tied to by something ancient and powerful and completely overwhelming. And for the first time, I see the weight he’s been carrying too. The restraint. The effort. The hope he’s trying so damn hard to hide.It does something strange to my chest.“I…” My voice catches, and I have to swallow before trying again. “I appreciate that. More than you probably realize.” The wor
Too Broken To Be Loved Chapter Eight
The moment the words leave my mouth, the room shifts. Not physically—nothing so dramatic—but the energy changes. Calms. Settles. Like the air itself has been holding its breath and finally exhales.But it’s her reaction I’m watching.Kieara doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t look away. She just studies me, guarded but steady, as if she’s trying to decide whether I’m lying or if I actually mean what I said. And I do. More than she knows.The bond hums beneath my skin, quiet but present, a constant reminder of what she is to me. What she could be. What I want her to be. But wanting and taking are not the same thing—and for the first time in my life, I’m forcing myself to understand the difference.I lean back slowly, giving her the space she asked for, even though every instinct in me screams to close the distance again. To pull her closer. To reassure myself, she’s safe. That she’s here. That she’s mine.But she’s not. Not yet.And if I push her, I’ll lose her before I ever have the chance
