Stubborn Wolf, Stubborn Heart

Hayden's POV(Earlier today)Sincerely, the scene I walked in on this morning with Abby, smeared in vegetables and kneeling, wasn’t pleasant. It felt like a slap to my face. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I love her… but damn it, she’s still my wife. And as much as I hate to admit it, she’s my mate also.Yeah, I sound like a hypocrite. I know that. But how else am I supposed to explain this? How else can I make you understand the chaos in my head right now?Rey growled in my mind, adding to the mess already inside me. He’s been quiet and moody for days, acting like a lovesick pup. That’s not like him. Rey and I have always shared one mind, one will, one goal. But since we found Abby… we haven’t been aligned.Rey wants her. I don’t.Or maybe I refused to.“You want her as much as I do, Hayden,” Rey snapped, making me flinch. I wasn’t expecting him to talk. He’s been mute for days like I said earlier.“I don’t,” I fired back.Why did you agree to take her when you could’ve gone for h

Our Mate Is Hurting

Hayden’s POVMarbel’s name flashed on the screen. She’d been out of town for a few days. Guess she's back.“Hello,” I said, placing the phone to my ear.We spoke briefly, and just as I guessed, she’s around. I told her to come to the office so we could head to my place together. She called at the right time.Marbel gives me what I want, and I’m cool with it. Every man craves peace of mind, and that’s why I like Marbel. No unnecessary drama or trying to pin a pregnancy on me like Valentina. Something I’m just not ready for yet.It didn’t take long before Marbel arrived and we went home together, though not until I had sorted out and attended to every necessary document and file. I mind-linked Alex and Lucious, told them to handle the rest. I drove home myself.Abby’s scent hit me the moment we walked into the living room, making Rey turn his body. She was kneeling down in front of Valentina. She brought this on herself. Rey grunted in my head, so I was forced to ask why she was kneel

Ashwolves

Hayden's POV“What is it?” I asked through the mind-link, steadying my voice.Alex wasted no time feeding me the situation. It was bad. Really bad. My jaw tightened.“I’ll alert the pack. Get everyone to safety,” I said.“Where are you now?”He dropped his location, and I didn't hesitate.I threw on a shirt and bolted downstairs.Calling my house security team together, I quickly filled them in.“No one leaves this house,” I ordered, flipping the security alarm on. They also sprinted into action.I closed my eyes and tapped into the pack-link, sending a message across the bond that tied every member to their Alpha.“Everyone, stay indoors. Lock your doors. Ashwolves are within our pack borders.”I could hear their panic rippling faintly across the bond, but I shut it down with a surge of Alpha authority.“Do not step outside, and do not panic. The pack warriors and security team are handling it. Wait for further instructions.”Of course, they knew better than to risk falling into the

The Capture

Hayden's POVThe forest was filled with the sound of pounding feet, snapping branches, and sharp snarls. The Ashwolf was fast. Faster than I’d imagined. But we were faster, thanks to the brutal training I’d put myself and my warriors through. We were able to stay close. Too close for it to vanish. Too close for it to even breathe.“Fan out! Don’t let it double back!” I barked.It suddenly leapt into a thick patch of trees, forcing us to split. Alex veered left, Jason stayed with me, and the other three warriors circled to the right.We followed the stench, thicker now, suffocating, and within minutes, we had it cornered. No escape route. No chance to run again.It stopped. Turned. Faced us. Its mouth hung open as it sucked in air, greedy and ragged, like it hadn't breathed in years. Then It crouched low, limbs twitching like broken branches trying to move. But it didn’t lunge.Instead, it smiled. A low, guttural sound rolled from its chest. Something between a growl and a laugh. Twis

Heels and Cutlery

Abby's POVAccording to what Lady Seraphina said yesterday, I’m already improving in the training. Thanks to that slim book Elder Leo gave me to study at home. It really helps.“Can we go now, Mrs. Roche?” Elder Leo, who had been waiting in the living room for ten minutes, called out.It’s become his daily ritual since I started Luna training, coming to pick me up each morning. I’ve told him I can go on my own, but he won’t hear it. “It’s an order from the Alpha,” he always says.I adjusted my clothes, unnecessarily, though, and then replied, “Yes, we can go now.”Elder Leo had explained how important the upcoming summit is. I’ll be going with Hayden to help convince Alpha Edward, the owner of DK Groups, to support us. I heard he used to be my father’s friend. Elder Leo also hinted that Derek is trying to hijack the deal, and honestly, a part of me wishes he would.I’m not a rebellious wife…but has Hayden ever seen me as his wife? The pain I felt the last time he brought Marbel was in

An Idea of How She Lived Before

Hayden’s POVSomething had driven me to follow Abby to her training session after I caught that look on her face. I couldn’t quite read it, she’d masked it too quickly, replaced it with something else entirely. I leaned by the door, watching as she walked in those heels and faltered several times.Then came the cutlery. The way she struggled to handle it sparked something in me. Curiosity. How was she raised, being an Alpha’s daughter?I made a comment about her flaw and walked away, but the feeling lingered.Something was off.I hadn’t looked deeply into Abby when I requested one of Alpha Thorn’s daughters to seal the alliance. I didn’t need specifics. Just knew one of them would be enough to serve the purpose.I mind-linked Alex right away. He sounded groggy, a yawn slipping through. Yeah, work had been rough.“Check how Abby lived in her father’s pack,” I said, cutting the link before he could respond.How is it possible that an Alpha’s daughter can’t manage the basics? The summit

Where Are We Going?

Abby’s POV(Back at Abby’s Luna training duties)I crushed the food in my mouth, chewing harder as if I could grind the anger into pieces. Hayden had made those comments and walked away like the arrogant Alpha he is.He mentioned Derek. Will he be at the summit too? I swallowed at the thought. Of course, he will be. He’s an Alpha now. A reputable one at that from what I've seen online.It’s been three years. Three good years since he disappeared without a word. After all the promises he made. After everything he said. Like I meant nothing. Like we were nothing. He didn’t even bother looking for me.I dropped my cutlery and placed my hands on the table, interlocking my fingers tightly. I pressed them together, so hard until they turned red. My eyes shut tight as memories of us, me and him, rushed back in.“Mrs. Roche?” Lady Seraphina’s voice pulled me out of the chains of thought. “Are you alright?” she asked softly.I flung my eyes open. Goddess! I’m tired of that question. Really tir

Classy Outfits For Her

Hayden’s POV “Separate rooms.” That’s all I said when Lucious asked about the hotel reservation for me and Abby. He and Alex stared at me like I’d lost my senses or something. “It’s a business trip, not some honeymoon,” I added, casually knocking off their curiosity. And technically, I didn’t lie Rey hissed in my head again. His habit I’m learning to live with. I’ve said it before, if he won’t let me enjoy Marbel, then he better not expect anything with Abby either. I'm being Petty right? Maybe. “You all should go and rest,” I told them. It had been a long and rough week. They needed the break. I wrapped up the remaining work and left the office. It’s barely a five-minute walk to my house from the pack office, no need to drive. I left the Mercedes there. Other cars were parked in the garage at home anyway. For a few seconds, that image of Abby’s disheveled look from the photo earlier flashed through my mind once again. Sincerely, it still gets me angry for no reason. How

That Cool, Unreadable Act

Abby's POV The woman who followed me inside picked out several outfits, most of which I didn’t like. Too clingy. Too revealing. Too much skin.“Mr. Hayden Roche is one of our favorite clients,” she said brightly. “He loves styles like this for his woman.”His woman?She smiled at me as she continued flipping through the dresses. “Yes. He used to come here with a very curvy lady. Are you his assistant?”My brows pulled together. That had to be Marbel.I clenched my jaw, ignoring her question. Assistant? Seriously? What exactly about me screamed ‘assistant’? And since when did client advisors get so damn nosy?Then she handed me a wine-colored, body-hugging gown that stopped just above my knees, showing more of my legs than I was comfortable with.“Let’s show Mr. Roche this,” she said brightly, “and see if it fits the occasion he described.”Before I could protest, she gestured for me to step out of the fitting room.I stepped out hesitantly. Hayden was seated on one of the lounge chai

Caught Off Guard

Hayden’s POVWhen Abby stepped out of the fitting room, I almost didn’t recognize her. She looked…Damn!The dress hugged her in all the right places, revealing soft curves I hadn’t even noticed before. Not curvy like Marbel, no, but hers was ... .uhm, kind of subtle and different in a distracting way. “Does this fit the occasion, sir?”The voice of the client advisor cut through my haze. I blinked at her, then looked back at Abby. My eyes stayed longer than they should’ve.My gaze dragged down to the legs the gown left exposed. They were long, smooth, model-like. And then up again, to the slight dip of her neckline, and the waves of auburn hair cascading past her shoulders. Goddess!Rey stirred hard from within. He practically wanted to do something unimaginable with her right now. But I forced him down.I blinked fast and locked it all back in. Composure, Hayden. You’re an Alpha. Struggling to get the words out, I cleared my throat and replied. “Yeah. Perfect.”When we were done,
