All Chapters of My big bad wolf: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The heavy silence that followed the girl's fall was like muted thunder, but Nolan used the mental link, forcing himself to hold back the wave of emotions that consumed him. His wolf was still on high alert, his paws firmly on the ground, his chest heaving with tension and the scent of her blood hanging in the air. Even so, his mental voice echoed firmly in the link between him and Owen:“She got scared, Owen. That's all. We were walking past the house, she saw us and ran. I just followed to see if she was all right.”Owen kept his gaze fixed on Nolan, still between his daughter and the wolf, but answered through the same channel, his voice resonating with a tone more cold than furious:“You almost touched her, Nolan. That's not just 'making sure she's okay'. But... I understand.”Mia, still scared, still silent beside her father, her curious gaze resting on Nolan, but there was no longer fear in her eyes, but something deeper. A subtle, inexplicable connection, as if she felt the bond

Owen's room was plunged into silence.No candles were lit. No torches flickered. Only the dim light filtered through the tall windows, where the moonlight cast its pale glow on the dark furniture, as if trying to touch the skin of someone who had always lived in the shadows.Owen sat on the edge of the bed, his back to the door, his broad shoulders tense, his chest rising and falling slowly. Ever since Elisa had returned, something inside him had been broken. But it wasn't a crack that bled outward. It was something more internal. Deeper. Something that only silence seemed to know how to name.The door opened without warning. Owen didn't turn around. He just listened.Light, careful footsteps. Almost hesitant.Her.“She's asleep,” Elisa said in a low voice. “Mia.”Still, Owen didn't answer.Elisa took another step. The distance between them was short, but it carried the weight of thirteen years. Every unspoken memory. Every contained lie. Every suffocated truth.“I didn't come here to

Elisa pushed the front door open carefully, closing it behind her with a quiet click. The house was silent, immersed in a kind of calm that only came after chaos.Inside, Mia was asleep—or pretending to be asleep. Inside, Owen existed. Strong, present. Steady as a mountain she had avoided for thirteen years. And yet, outside of there, was where she felt she needed to be.The night air was cold, biting. The dark sky was dotted with stars. And the surrounding forest whispered as if it knew exactly why she had left.Elisa hugged her coat closer to her body and walked silently, her feet touching the ground lightly.She thought about them.João and Tereza.If she closed her eyes, she could still see them that morning. Tereza combing her hair in a mechanical gesture, while João held his coffee mug with both hands. She remembered the smell of the house. The heavy silence. The last words: “If anything happens, run.”But she wasn't the one who ran.It was life.It was time.It was fate, perhaps

Before they returned home, Owen still insisted on giving Mia a special present. They had spent the whole day in stores, choosing furniture, clothes, electronics and cosmetics, but he said it still wasn't enough. Mia protested, saying that it was already too much, that she was feeling like a princess on a TV show. But Owen just laughed and held her hand firmly, leading her into an elegant jewelry store, illuminated by crystals that made each window sparkle like a little treasure chest.Inside, the saleswoman welcomed them with a trained smile and led them to a counter where earrings, bracelets and necklaces were on display. Owen began to choose enthusiastically, picking out delicate pieces that he thought would suit his daughter. Mia let herself be carried away, still a little stunned by everything, allowing herself to touch some of the earrings set with precious stones. Then, among all the pieces, Owen saw a delicate necklace with a wolf-shaped pendant, small and refined, encrusted wi

Mia was still staring at the mirror with her heart racing, her chest rising and falling in a breath that didn't seem to be enough to relieve the tension that was gripping her body. Her eyes. Those eyes. She could hardly believe what she saw reflected back at her. They weren't your ordinary green eyes. No. Now, his eyes were completely transformed, with a deep shade of blue, the iris circled by a purple circle, cut by a thin, feline pupil, like that of a wolf. They were intense, wild, dangerous.She took a step away from the mirror, touching her own face as if to make sure it was real. The blonde's words still echoed in her mind: “What color eye is that, you freak?”Swallowing, she whispered, unable to hide the desperation in her voice:“My eyes... are they going to stay like that?”Inside, Prata answered with a voice calmer than Mia felt.“No. These are our eyes in lupine form. They'll go back to normal soon. Take a deep breath, Mia.”She closed her eyes tightly, trying to control the
