LUCASFidgeting with the white tablecloth, I watched the entrance of the restaurant with an intensity that would make a hawk jealous. Dinner. With Skylar. The very thought sent a jolt of nervous excitement through me.This wasn't just any dinner, of course. It was a carefully orchestrated attempt to steal a few precious hours with the woman who'd turned my world upside down. The entire restaurant, bathed in a warm glow and soft music, had been rented out for the evening – a small indulgence for a woman who deserved the moon and stars.The door swung open, and a wave of relief washed over me as Skylar walked in. She looked stunning, even more so than in the studio, her smile radiating a warmth that chased away the last vestiges of my anxiety."Hey," I greeted her, a grin splitting my face. "You look amazing."A blush crept up her cheeks as she met my gaze. "Thank you," she murmured, her voice laced with a shyness that only amplified her charm. "You don't look so bad yourself."We settl

CHAPTER 36FREYAMy parents' words echoed in my head, a harsh reminder of the real reason I needed Lucas back. "Freya," my mother had hissed, her usually sharp features contorted with worry, "you need to fix this. The pack is in financial straits, and that marriage with Lucas was supposed to secure our future."Love? Compatibility? Those were mere footnotes in the grand scheme of things. My heart, if it existed at all, belonged to power and privilege, not some lovesick fool like Lucas. And that pathetic one-night stand with Jackson? A momentary lapse in judgment, a desperate attempt to fill the void left by Lucas's absence.Pulling into Lucas's driveway, Skylar's car, a sleek silver number, sat prominently parked in front. What was she doing here? Jealousy, a serpent coiled tight in my gut, reared its ugly head.Ignoring the unwelcome tremor in my hands, I marched towards the door, each step fueled by a righteous anger. Lucas would see the error of his ways. He'd realize that a fli

LoganI couldn’t leave her like this. But what option did I have?Excuse me," she said, her voice polite but firm. "That's a client. We can continue this conversation later, alright?"We both walked out and she stopped at the conference room, I looked up, surprised to see Angela standing in the doorway of the conference room. I had been so engrossed in our conversation that I hadn't even noticed her arrive. I quickly stood up, feeling a bit sheepish. "Sure," I mumbled, defeated.Skylar smiled and walked over to me, giving me a chaste kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry to cut our conversation short, but I really do need to attend to that client. We can continue this later, okay?"I nodded, still feeling a bit flustered. "Of course. No problem."Skylar left the conference room, and I walked in, I sat back down in my chair, trying to collect myself. I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. I had been looking forward to our conversation all day, and now it was being cut short by a client.

LUCASA jolt of nervous excitement shot through me as I spotted Skylar standing outside her office building, a vision in a fiery orange sundress that seemed to capture the afternoon sun. I pulled into a parking spot, my heart hammering a happy rhythm against my ribs. Today was the day – the day I finally got to take her out in public. Not on some clandestine late-night rendezvous, but on a real, honest-to-goodness date.I hopped out of the car, a goofy grin plastered on my face. "Skylar! What a lovely surprise to see you here." My voice held a touch of playful teasing, hoping to mask the nerves bubbling in my stomach.She turned, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Surprise?" she raised an eyebrow. "Actually, Lucas, I was just leaving for lunch. Kind of in a bit of a rush."My smile faltered slightly. "Oh. Right. Lunch." My mind raced for a plan. Giving up wasn't an option. Not today. "Well,that's convenient," I said, my voice smooth as butter. "Because I happen to have some free time

SKYLARA knot of worry tightened in my stomach as I stared at the pile of unfinished work on my desk. My mind kept wandering back to the revelation about the Blackfang brothers' curse. The image of Logan's haunted eyes, his raspy voice describing the blood moon's grip, sent shivers down my spine.Lucas, on the other hand, had been…evasive. Almost nonchalant about the whole thing. He mentioned a "transformation" but brushed it off as something manageable. Now, with Logan's words echoing in my ears, I wasn't so sure.Picking up my phone, I dialed Angela's number. My assistant and maybe best and only friend, my confidante, and in this case, the only one who (somewhat) understood the tangled mess my love life had become."Skylar!" Angela's voice boomed through the speaker. "What's up?""Angela," I began, my voice a mere whisper. "I need to talk about the Blackfang brothers.""Uh oh," she said, a knowing lilt in her voice. "Spilled your feelings to both of them, haven't you?"I sighed, a f
