ZAYNEThis wasn’t how I envisioned the truth coming out.I wanted time, and space. I wanted to do this carefully. But emotions have never listened to logic, and mine betrayed me at the worst possible moment.What I was about to say would change everything.Yet no matter how much I tried to deny it, what I felt for Lisa was stronger than anything I had ever felt for Elena, and hating myself for that comparison came naturally.“Say something, Zayne.”Elena’s voice was calm, almost faint, but I knew her well enough to hear the strain beneath it. She was running out of patience.I swallowed.“I’m sorry,” I said finally. “I tried. I really tried to fight this. It took me twenty years to feel my heart beat like this again. Elena… I tried to stay away from her. From these feelings. But I failed.”The words tasted bitter.The night stretched endlessly around us. The water behind her moved gently, and the current tugged at her hair, but she didn’t bother to adjust it.“It’s fine,” she said sof

LISAMy eyelids were beginning to close. I almost nodded off on my mum’s shoulder, exhaustion weighing me down like wet sand.Okay, what was going on?They had both been quiet for far too long. Every time Mum opened her mouth to speak, she stuttered, swallowed, then went silent again. Dad kept rubbing her hand like he was bracing her for something serious.Should I be worried?Dad finally handed the book to me. The same one. The worn pages, the strange symbols.“I’ve read this before,” I said casually, watching their faces shift into visible shock. “Someone gave it to me.”That alone made the room grow quieter.For once, I wasn’t eager to hear what she had to say unlike me. I leaned back, closing my eyes slightly, pretending I was only half present, giving her time to gather herself while I stole a moment of rest.“What I’m about to tell you might not make sense,” Mum said at last, her voice trembling. “But please… just listen, my child.”I straightened.“Since you’ve read that book,”

LISAI didn’t know how it happened, only that at some point I was naked, curled against my mother’s body as she wrapped a thick blanket around me. The car hummed softly as we drove home, the road familiar, my body not.I hadn’t said a word since we left the woods. Everything inside me felt altered, stretched, and rewired. It had been real. Every second of it. The electric pull, the violent surge of energy, the speed that tore through my limbs, the strength that didn’t feel borrowed but claimed. I didn’t know where it came from, only that it now lived inside me.“You are a blue wolf, my child,” my mother said softly. “The chosen mate for the next Lycan king.”Whatever that meant made her radiant. She smiled and cried at the same time, joy spilling out of her in a way that frightened me. When she said mate, I almost told her I wanted none of it. Not now, not ever. Not when I was pregnant.But it had been enough revelation for one night.They gave me space. My mother kissed my forehead g

LISALucia was practically bouncing inside my head, excitement spilling everywhere, reacting to something I clearly didn’t understand yet. I dragged my attention back to the man who had just introduced himself as Brooke. He was still smiling, calm, unhurried, like someone used to being welcomed wherever he went.“Okay, not literally,” he said easily. “I know you’re closed for business. But I’ll pay for your time.”He slipped his hands into his pockets, brought out a sleek black card, placed it neatly on my desk, then sat down without waiting to be invited.“That’s my card,” he added. “I want you to feel comfortable and secure. You can type the name into Google.”Cynthia finally snapped out of her trance, though she kept stealing glances at him like she needed to confirm he was real.Without overthinking it, one thing was obvious: he was rich. Not flashy-rich. The quiet kind. His cologne was deep and expensive, altering the scent of my office entirely. His clothes weren’t loud, but I

ZAYNEI wasn’t mistaken. That was Lisa.I glanced at both Emily and Elena, needing to be sure my eyes weren’t betraying me. The look on their faces confirmed it immediately. They saw her, too.Brooke, however, was completely lost, no, not lost. He was lusting. Anyone with eyes could see it. The body-con white gown Lisa wore clung to her like it had been sewn directly onto her skin. It was simple, dangerously so, hugging her curves without apology.The hem stopped just above her knees, and her legs glowed softly, slick with whatever oil she had rubbed on them. My body reacted before my mind could catch up. My pulse jumped the moment my eyes drifted to her lips, glossy and fuller today. I remembered kissing those lips, remembered how they softened under mine, how they parted each time my tongue rolled inside.I watched closely as Brooke pulled out a chair for her. The sound of it scraping lightly against the floor felt loud in my ears. My chest sank when he lifted her hand and pressed
