All Chapters of Alpha's Heat His To Ruin Hers To Heal: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

He responded immediately as expected, his hands tangling in my hair as I pressed against him. We kissed like we were drowning, like we could somehow fix everything broken between us with just our mouths and hands. "Calla," he breathed against my lips, but I could hear the concern still lingering there. "Don't talk," I whispered, trailing kisses down his jaw. "Please. Just... let me feel something real." His breath caught as I found a sensitive spot just below his ear. "Baby..." "I need this," I said, my voice barely audible. "I need you to make me forget everything else." Understanding flickered in his gray eyes. He knew I was using intimacy to avoid dealing with trauma, but he also knew I needed this connection right now. Needed to feel something other than emptiness. His hands moved to the hem of my shirt, fingers brushing against my skin as he slowly lifted it over my head. I shivered at the contact, already feeling more alive than I had all day. "You're so fucking beautiful,

When we walked into the kitchen an hour later despite not having enough sleep but still strong as fuck, every conversation stopped."Holy shit," Jordan said, staring at Axel. "Dude, didn't you have silver poisoning yesterday?"Axel shifted uncomfortably beside me. "I'm feeling better.""Better?" Marcus stood up from the table, studying Axel's face intently. "Your cuts are completely gone. All of them."I focused on my coffee, trying to look casual while panic built in my chest."Werewolf healing," Axel said weakly."That's not werewolf healing," Rikka said bluntly, approaching from behind with interest. "That's impossible healing. Let me examine you.""I'm fine," Axel said quickly, backing toward the door. "Really. Never felt better.""Exactly my point," Rikka pressed. "Yesterday you could barely stand. Today you look like you've never been injured in your life."I caught sight of Finn and Rex exchanging glances across the kitchen. Thomas was frowning at Axel like he was trying to sol

I settled more comfortably against his chest, enjoying the feeling of skin against skin. "I need to tell you something. About what I saw with Ysara." Axel's hand stilled. "What do you mean?" "When she showed me the vision. About my ancestors, about what moonkeepers really were." I took a breath, feeling his muscles tense beneath my touch. "You need to know everything." His jaw tightened. "She put you in a vision? Without asking me first?" "Axel, it's okay—" "It's not okay." His voice carried an edge that made me look up at him. "Witches don't just share visions for fun, Calla. That kind of magic leaves marks and changes you." I pressed my hand against his chest, feeling his heartbeat accelerate with anger. "She helped me understand what I am. Why vampires would want me so badly." "She could have asked. Could have warned us about the risks." His gray eyes flashed with protective fury. "I don't like other people making decisions about your safety." "Hey." I leaned up to

The warm sunlight filtering through our bedroom window felt like a blessing after everything we'd been through. I woke up first, my body pressed naked against Axel's chest, his heartbeat steady beneath my ear. For once, the compound was completely quiet - no alarms, no urgent voices, no sounds of preparation for war.Just peace.I tilted my head up to study his sleeping face. Even in sleep, Axel carried tension in his jaw, but this morning he looked younger somehow. More relaxed than I'd seen him in weeks. His dark hair was a mess from my fingers, and I could see faint scratches on his shoulders from last night.The memory made my skin warm all over again.His gray eyes opened slowly, focusing on my face with that lazy smile that made my stomach flutter. "Morning, beautiful.""Morning yourself," I whispered back, tracing a finger along his collarbone. "Sleep well?""Best sleep I've had in months." His hand moved down my back, making me arch against him. "Wonder why that is."I leaned

This prick Jordan. Every time I looked in his direction, he found somewhere else to be. When I tried to catch his eye, he suddenly became very interested in his coffee or started intense conversations with whoever was nearby. "Jordan," I called out when he tried to slip past me toward the door. "Can I talk to you for a second?" He froze like a deer in headlights. "Oh, uh, I was just going to check ...something." The entire kitchen went quiet. Pack members looked between us with obvious confusion, clearly sensing the sudden tension. Just fucking great! Axel frowned. "Is everything okay?" "Fine!" Jordan said quickly, his voice pitched higher than normal. "Everything's perfectly normal. Why would you think something was wrong?" Which was possibly the worst thing he could have said, because now everyone was staring at us with intense curiosity. "What's going on?" Rikka asked, her instincts picking up on the strange behavior. "Nothing!" Jordan and I said simultaneously again, whi
