Unexpected Mate: The Cruel Alpha’s Little Wolf Chapter 38
Aurelia didn't release either of us until we were safely inside the estate. Even then, she only let go because she needed both hands to properly explain something that had apparently happened at school. "And then Ethan said it wasn't a wolf." She looked deeply offended by the memory. "It was a wolf." "I believe you," I said. "It had ears." "Very convincing." "It also had a tail." I nodded seriously. "Then it was definitely a wolf." Aurelia looked pleased that someone was finally being reasonable. Beside me, Kael removed his jacket. I caught the briefest twitch at the corner of his mouth. Apparently, he was trying not to laugh. Aurelia immediately noticed. "Daddy." "Hm?" "You agree it was a wolf, right?" Kael considered this with far more seriousness than the situation deserved. "I haven't seen the drawing." Aurelia gasped. As though he had delivered a devastating betrayal. "Then how can you have an opinion?" I looked away quickly before she could see me smiling
Unexpected Mate: The Cruel Alpha’s Little Wolf Chapter 37
I stood alone in the room for several moments after Manda left. The silence she left behind felt almost as heavy as her words. Slowly, I released a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. Then I looked around the room one last time. The bed. The desk. The wardrobe. For years, this room had been my sanctuary, now it was just a room, nothing more. The realization was strangely liberating. I picked up my suitcase. Then headed downstairs. Everyone was still in the sitting room. Vera looked up first. Her gaze briefly landed on the suitcase before returning to my face. "I take it you found everything?" "Yes." She nodded. "Good." That was it. No emotion, nothing. A small part of me had expected something. A larger part was relieved. Some goodbyes were easier when nobody pretended they were sad. Alpha Kael rose to his feet. "We should be leaving." The statement immediately brought everyone else to their feet as well. Vera offered a polite sm

Manda stepped fully into the room and closed the door behind her. The soft click echoed through the silence. I returned my attention to the suitcase. If Manda had come looking for a warm reunion, she was going to be disappointed. Not that either of us believed that. For a few moments, neither of us spoke. Then she laughed softly. The sound immediately put me on edge. "I still can't believe it." I folded another shirt before responding. "Believe what?" Her gaze drifted deliberately to the ring on my finger. "You and Alpha Kael." I should have expected that. "It's just strange." I looked up. There it was. The beginning of whatever she had come here to say. She smiled. Not kindly. Never kindly. "A few weeks ago, you were standing in front of the entire pack begging Lucas not to reject you." The words hit exactly where she intended. For a split second, the memory flashed through my mind. The crowded hall. The whispers. The humiliation.

"Aria, you still have belongings here, don't you?" "Yes, I do," I replied. I had almost forgotten about them. The tension in the room and Lucas's unexpected appearance had pushed the thought from my mind. Vera nodded. "Then you should collect them. There's no need to leave anything behind." As though I intended to. The thought was almost bitter. I wanted to sever every remaining tie to this place as quickly as possible. The fewer reasons I had to return, the better. After Vera had forbidden me from coming back on the day of the rejection ceremony, I had stopped thinking of this house as home. Not that it had ever truly felt like one. "I'll do that now," I said, rising from my seat. "Will you need any help?" Kael asked. The question caught me off guard, because he had asked. A small thing. A simple courtesy. Yet I couldn't remember the last time someone had offered without making me feel like a burden. "No, Alpha. I won't. Thank you." He gave a sin

The room grew oddly quiet. Alpha Kael excused himself to speak with the servants and arrange for the gifts we had brought. The moment he left, the atmosphere shifted. Vera stirred her tea slowly. The composed expression on her face would have fooled most people. It didn't fool me. Across the room, Manda remained unusually quiet. Something that should have reassured me. Instead, it made me suspicious. Manda was rarely quiet without a reason. My suspicion only grew when I noticed her glance down at her phone. Then quickly type something. A message. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Today, however, I noticed. Several minutes later, a knock sounded at the door. Manda's posture straightened almost immediately. The movement was subtle, most people wouldn't have noticed, but I did. A second later, the door opened. And Lucas stepped inside. Every thought in my head vanished. For a moment, all I could do was stare. I

The look on her face. Shock. For a brief moment, Manda forgot to hide it. Her gaze darted from me to Kael. Then back to me. As though trying to convince herself she wasn't seeing things. I couldn't blame her. A few weeks ago, I had stood in front of the pack while Lucas rejected me. Now I was sitting beside Alpha Kael Blackwood. Life was strange that way. The shock vanished quickly. Manda had always been good at recovering. By the time she entered the room fully, a pleasant smile had appeared on her face. The kind she reserved for an audience. "Manda," Vera said. My stepsister's eyes immediately shifted toward Kael. "Alpha Kael." She greeted him politely. Anyone watching would have thought she was completely composed. I knew better. I had spent years living with her. I knew when her smile was genuine. This wasn't. For a second, our eyes met. And suddenly I was back there. Back in the crowded hall. Back beneath the bright lights. Ba

For a moment, I simply stared. The house looked exactly the same. The same stone pathway. The same front steps. The same carefully maintained garden. Nothing had changed. And somehow, that made it worse. Because I had changed. At least a little. Beside me, Kael opened the door fir

I barely slept. Not because I was afraid. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. The truth was far less flattering. I was anxious. Anxious about seeing Vera. Anxious about seeing Manda. Anxious about walking back into a house that had never truly felt like home. By the time morning
Unexpected Mate: The Cruel Alpha’s Little Wolf Chapter 30
The next three days passed far too quickly. Or perhaps not quickly enough. I couldn't decide. Every time I thought about the upcoming visit to Vera's house, I wished the days would slow down. Every time I remembered that postponing it would only drag out the inevitable, I wished they would hurr

"It's time" my newly found friend Mira informed me. I've waited for this night for so long, I've been on a strict diet, having to eat those very tasteless meals. I carefully stood up, so as not to ruin my pretty white dress, specially selected for this night, everything I was putting on was caref
