MasukNathanSomething inside me didn't feel right.It hit me so suddenly, so violently, that I actually stumbled forward and had to catch myself against the wall. "What the hell?" The words came out strangled, confused, because I didn't understand what was happening to me. I was startled, restless anger spreading through me like poison. I didn't understand what was happening, not at first only that something had changed, something about her.KaimaShe wasn't even here, wasn't anywhere near me, but I felt it.The invisible thread that had connected us from the moment she stepped into my territory was vibrating, pulsing with something wrong. Something that made my wolf snarl and snap inside my chest.Her scent wasn't the same.I froze, my entire body going rigid, feeling the burn spread through my chest like wildfire. Zade was clawing his way to the surface, tearing at my control with vicious desperation. I could feel him pushing against my skin, trying to break free. "Stop," I said through
NicholaiI woke up before her, and the first thing I did was turn my head to look at her. The sunlight was coming through the window, soft and golden, landing right across her face. She was still asleep, her hair all messy and spread out on the pillow, her breathing so quiet and steady. Goddess, she looked beautiful. Not the kind of beauty you see and forget about, but the kind that makes your chest feel too tight and your heart beat differently. Just looking at her like that brought a strong sense of peace to me,I couldn't stop staring at her, and I didn't even want to. There was something about watching her sleep that made everything else disappear. All the noise, all the chaos, all my stupid insecurities—they just vanished when I looked at her. She made me feel like maybe, just maybe, I deserved something good in my life.My gaze drifted just a little, then I saw it, red streaks. My heart skipped a beat, and for a second, I couldn't breathe.It took me a moment to understand. I
KaimaHe didn’t give me the chance to speak when he said my name in the most maddening way ever. One moment I was in his arms, the next my back hit the mattress with a soft thud. The sounds of our hearts beating filled the room.Nicholai's eyes darkened with desire as they roamed over me, and I felt exposed even though I was still fully clothed. There was something different in his gaze—something possessive and hungry that made my stomach flip.He climbed over me slowly, like a predator stalking his prey. His hands went to my shirt, and he started unbuttoning it with agonizing slowness. Each button he undid exposed more of my skin to the cool air and his heated stare."Nick..." I pleaded, but I didn't know what I was asking for.He didn't answer. Just pushed my shirt off my shoulders and stared at my lacy bra for a moment before his fingers traced the edges. The touch was feather-light, teasing, and it made me shiver. He lingered there, circling the lace with his fingertips, barely gr
KaimaThe sound echoed through me, and I just stood there, frozen, my hand still raised from reaching for him. There was a pain in my chest I'd never felt before, sharp and crushing, like something vital had just been ripped out.I didn’t realize I was crying until a tear hit the floor at my feet.“Nicholai…” I whispered, my voice barely there, my vision already blurring as more tears came.It wasn’t even up to a minute before he opened the door again.“Nicholai,” I breathed, my voice crackling, pleading.He stood there, just looking at me, and I could see the war happening inside him written all over his face. His shoulders were tense, rigid. His fists were clenched so tight at his sides his knuckles had gone white, like he was fighting himself.His eyes, that always held warmth for me, were now cold—filled with anger and jealousy and a hurt so deep it made my chest ache just looking at him.“Please, Nick,” I said in between sobs, my chest heaving. “Just let me explain. I'm begging y
KaimaI was finally feeling like myself again and Nyx was healed too, she stirred contentedly in my mind, her presence warm and whole after days of terrifying silence. I hated being an omega. If I was myself, had my full powers, my healing would never have taken this long. But the healer said I should just take it easy for a couple of days, so here I was.I kept checking my phone, the screen lighting up every few minutes as I refreshed it obsessively. What the actual hell is going on? Nicholai hasn’t come to see me or even called in three days. Three whole days of nothing, and I was starting to get so worried my hands shook every time I picked up my phone.He used to visit every day, sitting next to me for hours, holding my hands like I was something precious he was afraid to lose. Goddamn, I missed him so much it makes my heart ache. That was when the thought actually hit me and my stomach twisted painfully. I still had to report myself to him because of the kiss between Nathan and
NathanI don’t know how long I’d been standing outside her room like some lovesick fool. I should have just allowed the maid to bring in her food like a normal, rational Alpha would. Instead, here I was, clutching a tea cup so hard the porcelain groaned in protest. I stared down at the amber liquid. It was already becoming cold, steam no longer rising from the surface.I sighed, the sound heavy and frustrated. The sound of her voice when she said Nicholai’s name wouldn’t just leave my head, playing on an endless loop that was slowly driving me insane. Nicholai. Like he was something precious. Something cherished. I told myself I wouldn't let it bother me, that I was bigger than petty jealousy.But it did. Goddess, it bothered me so badly my chest ached with it.Kaima was much better. I was supposed to stay away now that the danger had passed, give her space to recover. But I didn't want to. Couldn't. As much as I searched for something external to blame for this constant, gnawing ne
