Chapter 31 - Holly

I let Alex guide me, my heart pounding in anticipation as the heat built between us. But then doubt crept in, and I froze, digging my heels into the floor. The air grew heavy with confusion and pain. I stepped back, my back hitting the vanity, breath hitching as the truth unraveled. When I looked up, it wasn’t Nigel’s face I saw, but Alex’s. My heart lurched. How had I let myself believe it was Nigel, conjuring the man I’d lost instead of facing the one before me? Alex’s brow furrowed, his concern evident. “Holly… what’s wrong? I thought… you told me to ravage you, but now…” His voice was careful, uncertain, as if afraid to break the fragile connection between us. “No. No, I told Nigel. You’re not Nigel.” I shook my head violently. My hand flew to my mouth, the weight of the words crushing me. My knees threatened to give out as I looked at him, his face no longer the comfort it had been just moments ago. My voice rose, trembling with emotion I couldn’t control. “You’re not Nige

Chapter 32 - Alex

Holly HUGGED me. Holly hugged ME! Not only that, but she also apologized to me for what she said in a nightmare. We had been having the same nightmare all week from different perspectives. It made sense now why the room was unfamiliar, yet the dress was. For her, she was reliving her final moments in her home with Nigel, trying to capture a moment that never could be. Meanwhile, for me, it was a fantasy of being able to kiss and touch her till she freaked out, and it became all my insecurities thrown at me. As much as I’d have loved to stay on the sofa with Holly in my arms, we had more important matters. We couldn’t leave Samuel alone in a hotel room. I didn’t care how mature he was; it wasn’t safe and certainly not legal for him to be alone like that. This wasn’t as simple as she went downstairs or to a vending machine on their floor. Kira had more than left the Hotel property to see me. As flattering as it may be that Holly’s wolf wants me, I need Holly to want me and not at the r

Chapter 33 - Holly

I’ve lost my mind. It’s the only explination for what happened in Alex’s bedroom. Instead of changing in his bathroom, I dropped the blanket, leading to more banter and another kiss. The only difference from the ranch was that we were both naked from the waist up. I couldn’t linger on how that felt. I needed to focus on Samuel and how my stupid wolf left him alone in a hotel room. That urgency drove me to rush to my room, running ten flights of stairs, only for the smiling fool to arrive at the same time using the elevator. “Is Samuel a heavy sleeper?” Alex asked, leaning casually against the wall between my door and the room next door. I barely glanced at him as I knocked harder, my knuckles stinging. “No,” I snapped. “He’s nine, Alex. He sleeps like he might miss something important. Why?” Alex shrugged, his shamrock green eyes glinting in the dim hallway light. His sandy blonde hair stuck up in every direction, and his faded red T-shirt and black gym shorts were rumpled like he’

Chapter 34 - Alex

From the text messages of Tristan Whitland, aka Farm Boy, and Samuel Boland, aka Mr. Serious- Mr. Serious: Farm Boy. Are you awake? Farm Boy: Barely. What’s up? Did something happen? Mr. Serious: Your dad. My mom. Kira took over last night. Farm Boy: Wait. WHAT? Details. Now. Mr. Serious: Just what I said. Kira took control of my mom while she was asleep. Kira wanted/needed to see your dad. So I helped her get out of the room. Farm Boy: I’m screaming. Please tell me there’s more. Mr. Serious: I don’t know what happened at your house between them, but your dad brought my mom back to the hotel, and she was Freaked out about my safety because I was “alone in the hotel.” Farm Boy: Aw, poor Mr. Serious was left alone. 😂 So what happened? Mr. Serious: I convinced her to let him stay here. I could not let them make it awkward and send him off. Farm Boy: You’re a hero. Let me guess: she gave him the floor? Mr. Serious: Nope. I forced them to share her bed. Farm Boy: 🤣🤣🤣 STOP

Chapter 35 - Holly

My mind couldn’t grasp what happened last night. Between the nightmare of Nigel turning into Alex, my freak out, that voice saying “a life for a life,” Kira taking control, and then waking up naked in Alex’s lap, it was overwhelming. I saw the picture of us on his nightstand, and that kiss—don’t get me started on that kiss—then he kissed me again before leaving my hotel room. I don’t think there’s enough coffee to process all of this. Thankfully, I would have some quiet time today working at the farm. That will give me some breathing room, and as long as Kira doesn’t get on my nerves, I’ll be able to think straight and plan how to deal with all of this. It would be just Samuel and me working around the farm. With everything in probate, all the employees, werewolves and humans, have been put on a leave of absence. I sure can’t afford to pay people to work the farm. I won’t ask Logan to do it for me. Until I can sell the farm, it would be a lot of legal hassle and paperwork to let Lo

Chapter 36 - Alex

I had to hand it to our boys. They had played us, more so Holly, perfectly. I couldn’t complain about their plans. I was one hundred percent behind Samuel and Tristan working together to get Holly and me together. It was honestly the best outcome for our situation. We could’ve had an issue with our boys being against us being together. It would have been impossible to be with Holly if her son was against it. Mate bond be damned, Holly wouldn’t have entertained my existence if her son said he didn’t like me. I had never had to herd cattle, but I liked it. I liked it even more that I was working alongside Holly. It felt right. Any time I was with Holly, it felt right. But this was up there. Working together on the farm… it felt like where we were supposed to be. I had always felt at home on a ranch riding a horse, with my dream of having a rodeo that included working with other animals like bulls—not the complacent kind like the Boland herd—but still, being there felt like fate. While

Chapter 37 - Holly

I hated being emotional—it was never who I was meant to be. I might have burst into tears more easily as a child, but that was long ago. The day my parents died, I built walls around my heart, shuttering away anything that resembled vulnerability. Aunt Donna once told me that I must have shed a lifetime’s worth of tears in the wake of that tragedy, and I believed her until Nigel’s death shattered that belief. After losing him, the tears came pouring out for the first time in years. I had cried for each miscarriage, but not like this. I mourned them in a muted way, feeling shattered inside yet unable to let more than a tear or two out. There was a deep sadness for the lives that could have been but remained unfulfilled. Yet here I was, crying—again—in front of Alex, a humiliation that both angered and terrified me. The first two moments of weakness felt justified; they were driven by grief over losing Nigel and the brutal acknowledgment that no amount of wishing could alter our shar

Chapter 38 - Alex

I was flabbergasted by what happened in the pasture. I knew the conversation would be heavy, but I hadn’t expected Holly to break down crying. It was a deeply emotional subject, and I told her I love her this soon to reassure her that her inability to have children doesn’t change my feelings. I’ve waited years to be with her, and we already have two boys who are more than enough for me. While the thought of having a child together was interesting, it’s not crucial to our future. It was always about us and our boys when I imagined what lay ahead. I didn’t expect her to respond or say she loved me—my heart might’ve stopped! What shocked me most was that after that emotional moment, it was Holly who kissed me first. Let me repeat that for the people speed reading. Holly Boland KISSED ME! HOLLY BOLAND KISSED ME, ALEX WHITLAND! Let that sink in. I know it’s still sinking in for me, and we’re already back at the barn, about to sit down and enjoy the lunch my mom packed us. I’d played

Chapter 39 - Holly

What I wouldn’t give for a long, hot, soothing bath right now. The thought of warm water enveloping me, with fragrant steam wrapping around me like a comforting embrace, was almost tantalizing. I could picture myself sinking into a deep tub, letting the day’s stress melt away. However, disappointment washed over me when I remembered that my hotel room only had a shower, robbing me of that tranquil escape. Exhaustion from farm chores was compounded by emotions I thought I had tucked away since Nigel passed. I hoped today would allow for quiet reflection on my budding relationship with Alex. Wow, I really had come a long way if I was starting to think of it as a relationship. Instead, I had an emotional breakdown in his arms, leading to an unexpected kiss that stirred feelings I hadn’t anticipated. Returning to the boys was meant to lighten my mood, but learning that Samuel and Tristan had arrived in the house filled with memories of Nigel dampened my spirits. Now, I faced the worry

Chapter 40 - Alex

Tristan practically vibrated with excitement in the passenger seat, his smirk stretching wider by the second. I braced myself. “So,” he started, dragging out the word. “You and Holly, huh?” I kept my eyes on the road. “What about me and Holly?” He scoffed. “Oh, come on, Dad. Samuel and I totally set you two up. And might I add—Operation Parent Trap: Werewolf Edition was a huge success.” I shook my head. “That’s what you’re calling it?” “Yup. And it worked. You walked away with a date. A real, actual date. On Friday. That’s four days from now, in case you forgot.” I smirked. “I can count, thanks.” Tristan leaned back, looking far too pleased with himself. “So… you love her.” I sighed. “I always loved Holly.” His smirk deepened. “Then you know what comes next.” I frowned. “What are you getting at?” “The new moon,” he cut in as if I was a slow student missing an easy answer. “That’s when you and Holly are supposed to complete your bond.” I gripped the steering wheel a little t
