ELIJAHIt all happened because I couldn’t control my heart from falling for Emma.I am the cursed Alpha. I have a mate, but I’ve never felt a connection to her. I tried to give Violet every happiness, to love her even, but my heart betrayed me the moment I saw Emma for the first time.Emma’s beauty isn’t just in her fair complexion or her long, straight hair. It’s her innocence that captivated me. Violet, on the other hand, is wild and fierce, the kind of woman who could make any man fall to his knees. But, unfortunately, I’ve never felt anything for her.I first met Violet at my club, Fire Club. That night, she looked stunning in a golden dress, and my wolf growled, signaling she was my mate. Every man in the club eyed her, as expected for a woman like her. But she was mine—my destiny.That night, I claimed her. We shared a passionate connection, and she realized I was her mate. Even then, something felt incomplete, as if a piece of my life was missing, but I couldn’t figure out what

EMMABecause of me, my sister attempted suicide. Because of me, her unborn pup is gone. I am the reason for everyone's misery.I am the wrecker—the one who destroyed lives. Why did I have to fall for my sister's husband and mate? I’ve made everyone’s lives unbearable. The pain in Violet’s eyes when she jumped from the terrace will haunt me forever. Those eyes accused me of loving the wrong man.“The Luna is stable now. She’ll wake in a few hours,” the doctor said, pulling me out of my thoughts. I lifted my head to look at him, but his words felt hollow.If only they knew I’m the reason their Luna almost died, they would despise me. The entire pack would turn against me if they realized I was the cause of this near-tragedy.Violet lay on the stark white bed before me, her face pale and lifeless. Her once-rounded baby bump was gone, replaced with emptiness. When she wakes, she will curse me for the loss of her pup. I’m so sorry, Violet, but I couldn’t stop my heart from loving Elijah. H

EMMA - FLASHBACK (ONE YEAR AGO)Today is my last day at college, and after this, I’ll be pursuing my dream of becoming a vet. It's my passion, and I’m determined to achieve it. I get up from bed, take a refreshing shower, and put on my yellow dress. As I glance at my reflection in the mirror, I smile—feeling beautiful. My black hair falls to my waist, and my face is clear, though not quite as flawless as my sister Violet’s. She is the epitome of beauty.I leave my room and find my dad making a delicious breakfast. I hug him from behind and say, “Good morning, Dad.” He turns around and kisses me on the forehead. He’s the most loving dad. I’ve never met my mom, but Dad has always made sure we never feel her absence. He never talks about what happened to her and always avoids the subject until Violet and I forget about it and get busy with our lives.“Good morning, princess,” he says cheerfully, and the smell of fresh pancakes fills the air. “I love chocolate pancakes!” I say, my mouth w

EMMA“What are you doing?” I asked, panicking as his finger lightly grazed my collarbone, sending shivers down my spine.“Will you spend a night with me?” he murmured, leaning closer.In an instant, my eyes flew open. “Please, leave me,” I pleaded with tears streaming down my face, my voice trembling. The fear of this whole wolf business was overwhelming—a fear I’d lived with all my life, the very reason I had always supported Dad in living a normal, human life.He ran his hand through his hair in frustration, his gaze lingering on me one last time before I whispered, “Leave.”Without waiting, I bolted away from him, my feet carrying me blindly through the night. I didn’t know where I was going; all I knew was that I needed to be far away from him. I flagged down a cab and collapsed into the seat, my body trembling and drenched in sweat. My heart pounded, and my breaths came in shallow gasps.This had never happened to me before. Maybe it was fear—or maybe something deeper I didn’t wa

The cool breeze brushed against my face as I stood outside, trying to steady my racing thoughts. The fresh air calmed me momentarily, but then I heard a voice—strange yet familiar.“It’s good to see you again,” the deep voice said.I turned to find Alpha Elijah standing there, his dazzling presence as striking as ever.“I hope what happened between us that night will stay between us,” he added, raising a brow.“It’s a deal,” I replied curtly, turning to leave, but his hand brushed mine, stopping me in my tracks. A jolt of something—electric, intense—ran through me, making me pull my hand back quickly.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I just want to get to know you,” he said, his eyes narrowing as if studying me.“Aren’t you quite the gentleman, Alpha?” I shot back, trying to mask my unease. I’d always heard alphas were strict, ruthless, and dangerous, and yet here he was—different.He smirked. “Trust me, sweetheart, you don’t know anything about me. I’m a beast in wolf form,
