First Steps to Trust

Jacob's POVI pressed my palms against the edge of the desk, leaning over as if it could hold back the storm inside me. My stomach twisted and my thoughts raced, making it impossible to stay still.She clearly needed so much—after all, she came here with nothing but herself—but she was too hesitant to ask.Had I really made her feel this uneasy? I gritted my teeth, cursing myself for rushing things, for not taking the time to make her feel safe before trying to claim her.“Natalie, I’ve told you before, don’t be afraid of me. You’re my Luna; you can ask for anything you need,” I said softly, trying to put her at ease.She seemed a little more relaxed, but I could still feel her hesitation. I rubbed my forehead, thinking hard about how to get through to her. I drummed my fingers on the table.“Alright, come with me,” I said, standing up. Without waiting for her reply, I took her hand and gently guided her out of the chair, leading her out of the room.I could tell she was probably shoc

When Serenity Bled into Chaos

"Jacob, do you like this dress?" she asked, holding up a floral sundress, her eyes showing excitement and a little nervousness.I looked at the dress for a moment, then met her eyes. "It’s nice. I’m sure it’ll look great on you. Why don’t you try it on and see how it feels?"She nodded quickly and went into the fitting room. I could hear the soft rustle of fabric and her quiet humming from outside, which made me smile.I tapped my shoes on the floor along with her humming.An idea came to me, so I pulled out my phone and called a trusted contact. I spoke quietly, giving clear instructions for a difficult task, knowing the deadline was very tight but had to be done immediately."But Chairman, finishing this so quickly is almost impossible," he said, his hesitation made me clench my fist.My shoulders tensed, and my jaw clenched as I opened my mouth to shout. Then I caught sight of the curtain of the fitting room where Natalie was trying on dresses and forced myself to stay calm. I took

The Return of the Forsaken Bond

Natalie's POVToday felt unreal — like a moment I never thought I would have. Just yesterday, buying new dresses or even a small accessory felt out of reach. And now… I was holding an elegant watch Jacob bought for me.I traced my fingers over it slowly, my hands trembling a little. Every time the light touched its surface, my breath hitched. The weight of it resting on my palm made me blink more than once, as if my mind was trying to catch up.It looked so fine and expensive that I touched it again just to be sure it was real. A small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.I looked at the shopping bags in my hands. Each one had something Jacob had chosen with care. Warmth filled my chest as I thought about him.“Thank you, Moon Goddess, for giving me Jacob Wood. He truly shows what a real Alpha is,” I whispered with a small smile.I pressed the key to unlock the car, but suddenly a strong force pulled me backward. A rough hand covered my mouth, stopping my scream. The bags f

The Requiem of a Rejected Mate

Asher’s POVFor the first time, I looked at Natalie differently—and damn, she looked good.The girl who once walked around in worn-out clothes now stood there in revealing outfits that showed every curve. My heartbeat jumped. A sharp regret twisted in my chest. I couldn’t believe I had been stupid enough to sell her off.Under the bright lights of the Rogue King’s auction house, she stood out right away. Even in that dirty place, she looked cleaner and better than anything around her.The crowd shouted and pushed forward, hungry to get a better look.Inside, something in me tightened as she walked onto the stage. My wolf paced restlessly, snapping and pushing at me, annoyed and tense.For a moment, I almost raised my paddle to bid for her. Almost. But before I could, some masked man in the front row outbid everyone without hesitation. I leaned forward, trying to see his face, but that stupid mask covered everything.When the auction ended and the hammer hit, my hands curled tight. The

When the Moon Wept Blood

Jacob's POVThe sight in front of me hit hard. Shopping bags were torn open and scattered all over the asphalt. One bag still had the white blouse she had liked so much.The faint smell of her—lavender mixed with fear—hung in the air and made my stomach twist.My breath caught, and my chest felt tight. “Damn it…” The words came out rough. “I shouldn’t have left her alone.”I crouched and touched a ribbon that had fallen from her bag. It was still warm, which meant she had been here moments ago.She must have struggled.My jaw locked and a heavy anger built up inside me, sharp and steady. It didn’t explode, but it grew stronger with every second. My wolf moved under my skin, restless and pushing at me, warning that I was running out of time.I took out my phone. “Austin.”He answered right away. “Alpha—”“She’s been taken. Probably Asher. Track her—now.”My voice didn’t shake, but my hands did. “Find her within ten minutes.”“I’m already working on it, Alpha. Scouts saw a limousine wit

The Poisoned Bond

Jacob's POVMy jaw tightened. Someone had dared to hurt her even after I fought so hard to get her back."Who did this...?" I whispered, teeth clenched, anger sharp and steady in my chest.Her weight in my arms felt wrong. Her face was a deep, dangerous red, her lips turning dark at the edges, and her eyes fluttered in an uneven, weak blink.Her breaths came short and fast.Heat rolled off her skin as if she was burning from the inside. For a moment I feared she’d burn through my jacket.I smelled scorched fabric and the bitter scent of wolfsbane.Seeing her like this hit me hard and filled me with a helpless pain I hated.Dylan reacted before I could think. His pain cut deeper than any injury I’d ever taken. It rose in my chest and shook me. He let out a low, rough sound inside me — part growl, part cry — a sound that came from fear and the desperate need to protect what was ours.I felt him clawing at the edges of my control, wanting revenge.She tried to speak — maybe my name — but

Sanctum of the Silver Veil

Jacob's POV"Natalie," I whispered, my voice breaking. "You're not leaving me."The monitor shrieked again, flat and cruel. Dr. Raymond shouted for adrenaline. Nurses scrambled, their movements frantic, faces tight with worry.My wolf clawed at my chest, screaming to break free."Come on," I growled under my breath. "Breathe."Her body convulsed once and then stopped.The smell of wolfsbane thickened the air, bitter and wrong.I felt Dylan's claws tear down the inside of my ribs, a furious rhythm that matched the dying beeps of the monitor."Alpha," Raymond gasped. "The toxin is changing. I—I can’t stop it!"I was holding Natalie’s hand, staring at her with tears in my eyes, but Raymond’s words pulled something inside me. I turned toward him, my eyes burning red."Why can’t you stop it? Is this all you can do? I funded millions for your research, paid for the best education to make you a competent doctor, and this is how you repay me? I never expected you to be this useless!" I yelled

When Justice Bleeds Silver

Jacob's POVThe Silvermoon Hall stood quiet, its old stone walls carrying the weight of years. Every Alpha of the realm had taken their oath here, beneath the carved sigil of the Moon Goddess glowing above the dais.The air smelled of incense and faint traces of old blood.A row of council members sat on the raised platform. Elders and Alphas who held authority over judgment. Their seats were arranged in a half circle, with Elder Kael positioned at the center in the highest chair. Their presence alone made the hall feel heavier, and I felt a small pull in my chest.I was one of them, the second head council member after Elder Kael, but today I couldn’t take part. I was involved in the case. I stood here on the victim’s side. The thought weighed on me, reminding me why I’d come. Natalie needed justice. That was all.I stood before the council table with my fists tight at my sides.Asher Black knelt in the center of the hall, silver cuffs cutting into his wrists. His head was down, but

The Breath That Called Her Back

Natalie’s POVI tried to open my eyes, but they felt heavy, as if something was keeping them shut. My head hurt in a slow, steady way that matched my heartbeat. When the light finally reached my eyes, it stung so sharply that I winced.My throat was dry.And the air I breathed in tasted like medicine with a faint smell of rain.For a while, I stayed completely still, caught between the pain and the slow realization that I was alive.As my vision settled, things became clearer. I saw a pale ceiling, a drip stand next to me, and the slight movement of bedsheets. My veins still ached, slow and stubborn, like the pain refused to go away.Then it hit me that once again, Jacob had saved me.I let out a small, unsteady breath, fear tightening my chest.Memories returned in quick, broken pieces. Asher’s hands grabbing me, his cold expression close to my face, and that strange, sickening smell in the air. My stomach rolled as I understood the truth.That smell… it was poison. He poisoned me.M

The Weight of Silence

Natalie's POV"Ahh—please! Don't hit me!" I cried, arms covering my face as the blows landed. The duster’s handle hit my shoulder, the sting burning through my thin dress.Madam Black shouted sharply, "How dare you eat before Asher? You brat! You even touched his textbooks! Do you think you deserve to study?"Each word hurt worse than the last."I'm sorry, mom!" I sobbed, stumbling back, hands shaking. "Please, I won’t do it again!""Don't call me 'mom!'" she screamed. "It's Madam Black to you!" She raised the duster again, but Sir Black’s hand grabbed her wrist mid-swing."That's enough, Linda," he said firmly, his voice tired. "She's just seven. You’ll hurt her at this rate."I dropped to my knees, holding his leg like it was my last hope. "Dad, please tell her I’m sorry! I’ll do all the chores! I’ll behave!"My hands trembled, tears rolling down on my cheeks.He looked at Luna Linda for a long moment, silent, something passing between them I couldn’t understand. Madam Black’s lip c
