Laila

Oh.My.God. My brain short-circuited, my thoughts scattered in every direction. Time itself seemed to freeze. His lips were getting closer, and I knew exactly where this was going.

His head tilted slightly as he moved in closer, and I couldn't even bring myself to think the word in my head. His eyes stayed locked on mine, then flickered back to my lips, teasing me with every movement. My heart rate spiked, thudding in my chest. He was so close now, I could feel the heat of his body against mine. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as my nerves flared.

He seemed... unsure.

What? I blinked in surprise. This cocky, confident, ridiculously handsome man was looking at me with a hint of hesitation. Was he... afraid? Was he afraid that I would pull away?

The thought made me smirk inwardly. I had him second-guessing himself? Had I knocked him off his game that badly? No, I didn’t like the sound of that. I wanted him bold, not unsure. But despite that, he didn't seem weak. The way he command

  • Warrior's human mate   Chapter 83

    LucasI strolled into Ayden’s office like I owned the damn place. After all, we’d worked side by side for years—through blood, war, betrayal, and worse. Formalities had long ago gone out the window. Besides, with his senses, he already knew it was me behind the door before my hand even touched the knob.Without waiting for an invitation, I plopped down in the chair across from him. He didn’t even spare me a glance—kept typing away, face unreadable, posture rigid as always. My gaze flicked across his face, his hands, the tension in his shoulders. I studied him like a puzzle, searching for cracks in his armor, a flicker of something that would tell me what the hell was going on in that guarded head of his.Because something was off. Had been, for weeks."You're staring so hard you're about to drill a damn hole through my skull," Ayden muttered without looking up.I clicked my tongue, not even trying to hide my annoyance. "Maybe if you let people in, I wouldn’t have to play telepath."I k

  • Warrior's human mate   Chapter 82

    JamesI was frantic, overwhelmed by a rush of emotions and a heart that wouldn’t slow down. How my mate managed to land herself in this much sh.it, I’d probably never understand. But somewhere deep down, I always knew her big mouth and brutal honesty would get her into trouble eventually. I guess that day was today.I were already wrapping up with my mates the plan for the next mission, when Alpha boomed through the link, “Your mate is in trouble. Packhouse. Now!” I ran like my life depended on it—because hers might. I shot a message through the mind link for another warrior to finish without me as I sprinted across the field, pushing every bit of speed my wolf could give me. He was just as frantic as I was.As Laila stepped out and started walking toward Klaid, who looked like he was on the verge of exploding, I noticed his fists clenched and his jaw locking tight. Then, without warning, he shifted into his wolf form—and he was just as furious. Instinct screamed at me to run to her, b

    LailaI woke up slightly disoriented, taking in my surroundings. Right—I'm at the pack house. With werewolves. It’s been almost a month now, but it still feels strange to say that out loud.I stretched like a cat and lazily looked around the room. Empty, as usual. James was probably at training or off on another mission. I’d find out soon. My gaze drifted to the ceiling as my thoughts wandered to yesterday’s forest walk with James—and later, his wolf. His fur had been unbelievably soft. I couldn’t help but wrap myself around him, burying my nose into that thick, woolly coat. He had that wild, animalistic scent, but I didn’t mind it. I smiled softly at the memory.Still, it felt surreal. I lived among werewolves now. Most of the time, they acted so human I could almost forget. But when someone shifted, or I spotted a wolf trotting past, the reality hit me all over again. I shook my head with a wry smile. Unreal. What has my life turned into?I rolled out of bed, got ready, and headed do

    JamesA moment of silence fell as everyone turned to Laila, watching her expectantly. I couldn’t help but wonder if she was about to back out of the challenge. Then Laila twisted over me to look at the Alpha.“I think it’s great that you’re spending more time with pack members. People talk about it—warriors, omegas—they’re happy. It means a lot.”The Alpha nodded. Then she turned to Fay.“Fay, thank you for trying so hard to look after me when James isn’t home. I see you as my sweet little sister. Your personality still feels like a bud just beginning to bloom, and I truly hope you’ll let yourself grow into the beautiful flower you’re meant to be—doing what you love and becoming who you truly are.”She said it to her, making me think about my sister and her personality. I always thought she just did whatever she wanted—maybe even a bit of a spoiled brat.Fay blushed, murmured a shy “thank you,” and looked down at her lap. When did she get so shy? I thought. Maybe Laila saw something I

    JamesI entered the packhouse, my nose instantly guiding me toward the lounge where her scent was the strongest. Even before I saw her, I could feel her through the bond—warm, present, mine. My heart clenched with longing.I pushed open the doors, my focus narrowing solely on her. A genuine smile broke across my face before I even realized it, and it grew wider when Laila’s features softened and she smiled back just as brightly. She was happy to see me too.I dropped onto the couch beside her, trying not to let it show that I wasn’t thrilled she was sitting so close to our unmated Alpha. Still, I let it slide—for now. Instead, I pulled her close and inhaled deeply, her scent making me dizzy in the best way. I sighed contentedly and pressed a kiss to her lips, her eyes gleaming up at me.“Speak of the devil…” I heard Lucas mutter under his breath.“Am I the devil now?” I asked, arching a brow at him. He just grinned.“Were you gossiping about me?” I pressed.“He was prying into our rel

    Laila “Do you like it here?” Kate interrupted my thoughts.“‘Here’ as in this living room with your cozy little werewolf crew, the whole supernatural neighborhood, or are we talking about the entire city or country?”“This pack. The packhouse.”“Well, it feels like I am back in the dorms. It’s… okay,” I replied.Kate still looked unsure.“I’d prefer living in my own place. Helps me rest and recharge. But I get why James wants me here, so… what can I do? I’m just a guest.”“Is that really how you feel?” Kate looked surprised.“Yeah. Were you expecting a different answer?” I chuckled nervously. I can say it again—I really can’t stand being fake, but it seems like my honesty isn’t always well received around here.“I guess I hoped you’d say you felt great here.”“Sorry to disappoint,” I said softly.“So, you don’t feel like this is your new family?” Fay asked quietly.I looked at her. “I’m human. You’re all supernatural creatures. It’s a little hard to relate.”“So, you don’t feel like p
