Tristan's POVMia was in my arms, her soft curves pressed against me as she tried to steady herself after tripping. Her hands clutched my shirt, and I could feel her warmth through the fabric. Her wide, startled eyes met mine, and for a moment, time stood still.Her lips—plump, pink, and so inviting—were mere inches away. I couldn’t stop myself, couldn’t hold back the desire that had been building inside me for so long.I brushed a strand of hair from her face, my fingers grazing her soft skin. “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?”Her cheeks flushed, and I caught the slight parting of her lips, as though she were about to say something, but I didn’t give her the chance. I leaned down, my lips capturing hers in a kiss that I had dreamed about more times than I could count.At first, she was still, as if surprised, but then I felt her soften, her lips moving hesitantly against mine. That small gesture was all I needed. I deepened the kiss, my hand sliding to the small of her ba

Mia's POVThe cold marble floor pressed against my back as I lay at the bottom of the stairs, listening to the commotion above. My ribs ached, my breathing shallow, but my wolf, Ima, worked quickly, knitting my bones back together and numbing the pain. I stayed still, my eyes closed, feigning helplessness to see how they would react.“Mia!” Xavier’s voice called out, his footsteps echoing as he rushed toward me. Nathan and Sean followed close behind.“She is a monster!” Layla shrieked from the top of the stairs. “She attacked me first ! And when I defence myself, she tripped on her own!”The brothers hesitated, exchanging glances. I felt their presence around me, but none of them dared to touch me.Of course they will take her side; how could I even expect them to listen to me and take my side?“She doesn’t have a wolf,” Nathan muttered. “That fall should’ve been fatal. How is she even breathing?”Yes, that's what you always thought for me and tormented me as much as you could. “She’

Mia’s POVThe weekend felt like a lifeline. I finally had some space, some quiet, to figure out what I needed to do. Staying under Diego’s roof was safe, and Tristan’s presence gave me comfort, but I knew I couldn’t rely on them forever. I needed independence.With that thought in mind, I set out early in the morning, scouring the city for part-time work. The hustle and bustle of the streets distracted me from my swirling thoughts, and I felt determined to find something. Anything.The first café I stopped at had no vacancies. The manager was kind but firm, letting me know they’d just hired someone. The second store, a quaint bookstore, was the same story. By the third rejection, I was starting to feel disheartened.I stood outside a small diner, staring at the “Help Wanted” sign taped to the window. My hand hovered over the door handle, but I hesitated. Could I really do this? Balancing work, school, and whatever chaos the brothers were bound to throw my way?I took a deep breath and

Mia’s POVXavier’s lips pressed against mine again, his possessiveness radiating through every movement. It was rough, demanding, and left no room for me to breathe or think. My hands gripped his shirt tightly, but not out of affection—I was trying to push him away.But he wasn’t stopping. His teeth grazed my lips, biting them, pulling me closer as if he couldn’t get enough. My frustration boiled over, and without thinking, I bit him back, hard.Xavier pulled back abruptly, his lips slightly swollen, a mix of surprise and annoyance flashing in his eyes. “Did you just bite me?”“Yes, I did,” I snapped, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. “Because you don’t seem to understand the word ‘stop.’ What the hell is wrong with you?”“What’s wrong with me?” He scoffed, running a hand through his hair. “What’s wrong with me is you, Mia. You’re mine. Do you understand that? Mine.”I glared at him, my blood boiling. “Yours? Really? You only want to claim me when it suits you, but the rest of

Rolex’s POVDad’s revelation had struck each of us like a blow to the chest. A curse? Dependent on our mate to survive? The irony wasn’t lost on me. All this time, we had treated Mia like an outsider, a nuisance. And now, our very lives were tied to her.I sat in the corner of the living room, running a hand through my hair. Nathan was pacing, muttering under his breath, while Xavier leaned against the wall, arms crossed, staring off into the distance. Sean looked no better, rubbing his temples as if trying to process it all.“We’ve been complete assholes,” Sean muttered, breaking the silence.“No kidding,” Xavier responded dryly.I clenched my fists, standing firm as the tension between us built. “We didn’t know,” I repeated, my voice carrying a calmness I didn’t feel. “It doesn’t excuse what we’ve done, but we didn’t know. Now we do, and we need to fix it.”Nathan let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “Fix it? You think we can just apologize, and everything will magically be fine? She h
