Semua Bab Mine: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Kimberly couldn’t sleep that night no matter how hard she tried. Every time she closed her eyes, her thoughts drifted back to everything Christine had told her earlier that day. She kept thinking about Roy and everything he had gone through. How could someone lose so many people he loved in such a short period of time and still manage to stand tall afterward?First his father. Then his mother. And finally his sister.The thought alone made her chest ache for him. No one deserved to go through all of that. No wonder he always looked distant and guarded like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. She suddenly understood why there was always sadness hidden beneath his calm expression.All the thinking eventually left Kimberly feeling dehydrated. Her throat felt dry and scratchy, so she decided to go downstairs to get herself a glass of water.Quietly slipping out of bed, she made her way toward the kitchen. The hallway was silent except for the soft sound of her footste

Roy was furious with his wolf. Why was it so stupid and insensitive not to realize that she did not want to have anything intimate to do with him?‘She would’ve loved our kiss,’ his wolf said, making him groan in frustration.“You don’t get it, do you? She’d end up hating us for the rest of her life,” Roy replied, hoping his wolf would finally shut up.‘We could see it in her eyes. She wanted the kiss as much as we did.’Roy could still clearly remember Kimberly’s expression at that moment. He had seen the expectancy in her eyes, the way she stared at him like she was waiting for something to happen between them. But despite all that, he was certain it wasn’t a kiss she expected. At least, that was what he kept forcing himself to believe.“You think that way because she’s your mate,” Roy muttered with an eye roll before walking into his study.Roy didn’t even want to imagine how humiliating it would’ve been if he had actually kissed Kimberly only for her to reject him. That would easil

Roy and the werewolf circled each other cautiously, their eyes locked in a dangerous stare-down as neither of them wanted to make the first move. The tension in the air was suffocating. From the way the werewolf carried itself, Roy could immediately tell this one held a higher rank than the others. Unlike the first two, it wasn’t reckless or eager to charge blindly into battle. It was calculating, patient, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.Roy’s attention stayed fixed on the larger werewolf before him, causing him to momentarily forget about the second werewolf he had thrown aside earlier. That single mistake cost him, as without warning, the second werewolf lunged at him from behind, sinking its teeth into his flesh in the process. A sharp growl ripped through Roy as the sudden weight forced him to the ground. Pain shot through his body as he whined and snarled, struggling beneath the attack.Just as quickly as the assault began, the pressure disappeared. Roy looked u

It had been four days. Four long, miserable days of absolute hell for Roy.Kimberly had completely refused to see him or have anything to do with him, and it was tearing him apart far more than he cared to admit. The rejection hurt him deeply, while at the same time filling him with frustration he couldn’t contain. Unfortunately, the pack members had become the victims of his temper during those days. He snapped at the slightest mistake, barked orders more harshly than necessary, and carried an intimidating aura around the pack that kept everyone on edge.He knew he was being unfair. He knew none of them deserved it. But his wolf was slowly losing control. It needed Kimberly so bad. For days now, it had been relentlessly demanding that he go into her room, mark her, and claim her as his mate once and for all. And Roy desperately needed somewhere to pour all the pressure building inside him before he completely lost himself. Because every second spent away from Kimberly felt like tortur

“You knew my mother?”Kimberly couldn’t believe that this stranger knew her mother. But how was that even possible? The thought spun wildly in her head, but she quickly pushed it aside because, more than anything, she wanted to know more about her mom from someone other than her father. Her dad had always told her how much her mother loved her and how proud she would have been to watch her grow into the woman she was today, but that was all. She wanted more. She wanted details, memories, pieces of the woman she never got the chance to meet.“Your mother?” Alan repeated, sounding even more stunned this time.“Y-yes,” Kimberly quietly replied, her brows knitting together in confusion. “She was my mother.”“You’re trying to tell me that you are not in any way Hailey?” This time, Kimberly only nodded because she no longer trusted her voice. She was already aware that this stranger had mistaken her for her mother because she looked exactly like her. From head to toe, she was Hailey’s spitt
