It’s done

Eve“Eve!” Mia hissed beside me, leaning in close enough that only I could hear, her teeth gritted behind a forced smile. “What the fuck are you doing? Sign those papers already.”I swallowed, the pen still trembling in my hand. “I can’t… I don’t think I can anymore,” I whispered back, my voice barely holding together.Mia’s eyes widened, shock flashing across her face before she masked it. “Why? What’s going on?”I just sighed, staring at the blank signature line like it might swallow me whole.The lead lawyer cleared his throat politely. “Is there a problem we can address?”Mia let out a nervous chuckle, squeezing my hand under the table, hard. “We’re so sorry. Just… give us one minute, please.”She stood, tugging me up with her, and practically dragged me out of the living room. Up the stairs, down the hall, into my bedroom. The door shut with a firm click.The second we were alone, Mia whirled on me, arms crossed, eyes blazing with a mix of anger and disappointment.“Can I know wh

It’s Over

SageI paced the living room after she left, the door’s click echoing like a final nail in a coffin I wasn’t ready to bury. The coffee in my mug had gone cold again—third cup today, and it still tasted like nothing. Bitter emptiness. Fitting.I couldn’t believe it was over.No, scratch that. I could believe it. I’d pushed her to this. Weeks of chasing, of not letting go, of turning what started as pride into something darker. I’d told myself it was about winning, about claiming what no one else could have. The only woman who ever said no to me—the Alpha, the untouchable. Rejection like that? It burned. It festered. Turned into obsession.But now? Sitting here alone, the house too quiet, her scent still lingering on the sheets upstairs like a ghost… I knew the truth I’d been dodging.It wasn’t just ego.It was love.The kind that snuck up on you, wrapped around your throat, and squeezed until you couldn’t breathe without it. The kind that made me crash my car into hers to save her from

Father’s command

SageTHREE DAYS LATERI strode into the council chamber of Black Claws Pack, the heavy oak doors swinging shut behind me with a thud that echoed off the stone walls. The elders were already seated around the massive round table, carved with our insignia—a snarling wolf encircled by thorns. Their faces turned toward me as one, a mix of respect and wary tension in their eyes. No one spoke until I took my place at the head, the high-backed chair creaking under my weight.Alex sat to my right, arms crossed, his expression grim. Flanking him were the two Gammas—Kara, sharp-eyed and always calculating angles, and Van, built like a wall with a scar slicing down his cheek from last year’s rogue skirmish. They nodded once as I settled, ready.The room smelled of aged wood, leather, and wolf—thick, primal, amplified in close quarters. I leaned forward, elbows on the table, and let my Alpha presence roll out, pinning them in place.“Report.”Elder Thorne spoke first, his voice gravelly from year

Something eerie

EveThe night before the wedding felt surreal, like I was living someone else’s life.Mia had turned our living room into a full-blown celebration—fairy lights strung across the ceiling, music blasting from the speakers, and bottles of champagne and colorful cocktails lined up on the coffee table. We danced like idiots, laughing until our sides hurt, singing off-key to old favorites with bottles in hand. For a few hours, I actually forgot everything: the contract, the seven-day scramble, and the hollow ache that hadn’t left my chest since I signed the papers.We collapsed onto the couch eventually, breathless and giddy, legs tangled under a throw blanket. Mia flipped channels aimlessly until she landed on some late-night news broadcast.“I can’t believe this,” she said, still catching her breath, raising her glass. “Finally! Everything is set. Clarissa surely didn’t see this coming.”I laughed, the sound lighter than I felt, then let out a long sigh and tilted my head back against the

Gunshots!

EveI walked slowly down the aisle, the soft click of my heels against the polished marble the only sound besides the gentle swell of music from the string quartet in the corner. My fingers tightened around the bouquet of white roses and lilies, their scent sweet and almost overwhelming, as I drew in a deep breath to steady myself.The backup dress was simpler than the first—sleek satin with subtle lace overlays, no train, but still elegant and white. Mia had pulled it from the garment bag in the closet like a magician, muttering the whole time about always being prepared. “I wasn’t your personal assistant for nothing,” she’d said, zipping me up with quick, efficient hands while I stood numb, watching the ruined original gown get bundled away. She’d been more ready for this day than I had, and the thought made me want to laugh and cry at the same time.The hall was intimate, bathed in warm light from chandeliers above, with rows of chairs filled by a small gathering of friends, distan

The dark truth

EveI flinched hard, squeezing my eyes shut, waiting for the pain, the darkness, but it never came. Warm splatters hit my face, my chest, and hands. I opened my eyes in shock.There was blood. It was bright red, spreading fast across my dress.But that was when I realized… it wasn’t mine.Harlan cried out, clutching his arm as blood bloomed through his sleeve. He dropped to his knees, alive but pale and gasping, shock etched across his face.I screamed, the sound ripping from my throat as I sank to the floor, knees hitting marble hard enough to bruise. My body shook uncontrollably, hands pressed to my mouth.“What… what are you doing?” I stammered, tears blurring my vision. “Have you lost it?”Sage stepped over to Harlan, pressing the barrel coldly against his forehead.“So, will you talk or not?” he asked, voice flat and deadly calm.“No—please, no!” I begged, scrambling forward on my knees. I threw my arms around Sage from behind, back-hugging him desperately, my cheek pressed to hi

Mrs Hawthorne

SageI didn’t look away from the blood on the floor, but I didn’t linger on it either. My men were already moving, efficient and silent, wrapping the body and head in black plastic. Eve had also woken up after Mia had helped. The smell of iron hung heavy in the air, mixing with the faint floral scent of the ruined decorations. Chaos. Perfect wedding day.I turned to the room, voice cutting through the lingering whimpers.“To the bride,” I said, eyes finding Eve where she stood trembling beside Mia, gown soaked crimson. “I am sorry for the chaos on your wedding day.”A pause. I let the words settle.“But at the same time, I am not sorry.”Eve glared at me, a fierce spark cutting through the shock. She scoffed, shaking her head. “Not surprised,” she muttered, voice bitter.I stepped closer to the officiant’s stand, letting my gaze sweep the room once more before settling on her.“I’m in love with Eve,” I said, clear and unapologetic. “And I’ll be getting married to her. Right now.”Eve

Her husband

EveThe ceremony dragged on in a haze of celebration and other things in between, every word feeling like a chain tightening around my chest. Harlan’s blood had been hastily mopped from the aisle, but dark stains still marred the marble, and the metallic scent lingered under the flowers. Guests sat rigid, eyes wide, afraid to even whisper. Mia’s voice shook as she pronounced us husband and wife, but no one clapped. No joy. Just stunned silence.Then, as the officiant stepped back, Aunt Clarissa rose from her seat in the front row. Her face was a mask of fury and disgust as she marched toward me, heels clicking sharp against the floor. Before I could react, she grabbed my wrist hard, and yanked me a few steps aside, away from Sage’s reach.“That man I saw at your place that day,” she hissed under her breath, eyes darting to Sage, “isn’t that him? I never realized he was the Alpha.”I sighed softly, looking down at the blood-speckled hem of my gown. “Yes.”Her grip tightened. “And you’r

Because you are my wife

SageI watched her from the couch as she lingered in the doorway, arms crossed like a shield, eyes flicking over me before darting away again. She looked small in those pajamas, soft cotton that swallowed her frame, but there was steel in her posture, even if it was brittle.She came closer, hesitant steps on the hardwood.“Eve,” I said, my voice low with a hint of tease I couldn’t quite suppress, “are you going to talk? Or just stare at my handsome face all night?”She scoffed, shaking her head. “You are so full of yourself.”I leaned back, smirking. “Then do you want me to be half of myself?”She didn’t laugh. Just rolled her eyes, the annoyance clear, but there was no real heat behind it. Not tonight.Then her expression shifted—serious, guarded. She took a breath. “Let me be serious now. So… the thing is… When are we going to end this marriage? You know this is fake, after all. We’re just here for the gain and everything.”The words landed heavier than I expected.I set the laptop

The other part

EveI snapped, shaking my head before I could stop myself. “That’s not part of the rules. It’s not in the contract.”Sage’s hand moved lazily to his chest, tapping once over his heart. “And did this man sign any contract?” he asked, his voice low, almost amused.I stopped breathing for a second. The air felt too thick, the room too small.“Sage,” I managed, “I think you’re moving too fast and—”He scoffed softly, shaking his head with a faint, crooked smile. “Don’t worry. I was just joking.”“Really?” My shoulders loosened, relief flooding through me so quickly it left me light-headed. My face softened without permission.“Yes,” he said, turning back to the laptop. “I won’t be putting my baby in you… since you hate it so bad.”I gulped, eyes dropping to my lap. Confusion tangled with something warmer I didn’t want to name. “What about… the other part?” I asked quietly.He glanced over his shoulder. “What other part?”“The part where you said we’d sleep in the same bed.”“Oh,” he said,
