21: Pack Summons

XAVIERMy father summoned me not long after I dropped Mia off at her dorm. It wasn't a request and I had no way to get out of it.He was the last person I wanted to see after my interaction with Mia. How I'd almost lost control. She was getting suspicious and I wasn’t sure what I would do if she kept pushing.I can’t tell her what I truly am. Right?I was becoming less and less certain that was the right answer with every passing day.‘My office. Now.’My father’s voice reverberated in my head.I’d known this was coming. I felt the tension building through the pack link all week. Kane whined, already knowing what this meant.I got dressed and drove to pack lands with my hands white-knuckled on the steering wheel.The main house loomed ahead. The pack was busy this early, I nodded my head at a few people that stopped to wave when they noticed me. A few looked away, like they were hiding from me or something.My fingers flexed on the steering wheel. The thought that probably half of the

22: The Break

MIAI had to be losing my mind. Because that is the only explanation for why I started counting the days I hadn't seen Xavier on campus. I didn’t know how much I was starting to get used to his presence, even like it, until I stopped seeing him.That shadow in the background I knew would come out and save me if I was ever in need. My own superhero.The thought made my insides tingle and my cheeks warm. Things I shouldn’t be feeling because you know, I'm engaged and all. But Silas has never made me feel even a fraction of what Xavier makes me feel without even touching me.Since the night I slept in his bed, something shifted in me and it made all of this jst seem... right? Thinking abiut him. Wanting him close. I couldn't explain it.I was starting to get worried when the second day rolled in and I didn't feel him close. I tried to make up excuses, maybe he was sick, or he had pack business—whatever that meant. What if he was sick and bedridden in his apartment and no one knew?Should

23: Goodbye, Mia

CHAPTER 20: MIAEsme was practically vibrating with excitement by the time we reached the frat house. Music pulsed through the walls, strobe lights flashed from every window, and people spilled across the lawn with red cups in hand.I tugged down the hem of the sinfully tight red dress she’d forced me into. It hugged every curve I had and several I didn’t know existed.I’d started when I first tried the dress on, “Esme, I look—”“Like you’re about to ruin someone’s life,” she said proudly. “Preferably your own, since you need the distraction.”Esme was shorter than me, so while the dress might have looked short but sexy on her, it looked almost scandalous on me. But she wasn’t wrong about one thing though. I was going to ruin lives tonight. Most definitely my own.The heavy smell of spilled beer, multiple perfumes and sweat hit me as soon we walked inside. All thoughts of Xavier and even silas–who had texted me multiple images of wedding shoes to pick from–dissipated.Loud laughter fr

24: The Kiss that Changed Everything

MIAI ignored him and kept walking but I heard his footsteps. He was by me before I could reach the door. Something that should be physically impossible seeing the distance between us. But he was right in front of me now. That familiar scent of pine and something uniquely him hit me square in the chest.Panic, humiliation, confusion all tangled together. I closed my eyes, my hands hovering on the doorknob.“Don’t go, please.” he said behind me, his voice cracking a little.I straightened and turned slowly until I was facing him. I forced my voice to sound normal. “What are you doing here?”His chest was rising and falling too fast. “I could ask you the same thing.”“I’m practicing,” I snapped, frustration winning over nonchalance. “Since our captain hasn’t shown up to practice all week.”His jaw tightened. “I know. I’m sorry.”“Are you?”My voice shook and I hated it.He ran a hand through his hair, looking tortured. “I got your text.”“Which you ignored,” I finished for him.“That’s

25: Running Through The Forest

CHAPTER 24: “Mia!” Xavier’s voice followed me across the gym but I didn’t stop.I didn’t let myself look back because I know, if I saw the look that accompanied the way his voice sounded, I would give in.I ran out into the night, my heels clicking against the pavement, my heart hammering so hard it hurt. I could still taste him on my lips. I still feel the phantom pressure of his hands on my body. The broken way he said my name echoed in my head.I didn’t stop running until I was back in my dorm room with the door locked. I pressed my back against it, exhaling heavy breaths.What had I done? What had I done? I stumbled to the bathroom on legs that felt like water. My reflection in the mirror looked wild, my cheeks were flushed and my lips swollen. My pupils were blown wide, almost completely black. My hair was a mess where Xavier’s fingers had tangled through it.I looked thoroughly kissed.I turned on the faucet with trembling hands and splashed cold water on my face. Trying to was

26: Border Breach

XAVIERI could still taste her. Fell the desperate way she’d grabbed my shirt. Heard that small sound she’d made when my tongue swept against hers.It’s been three hours since Mia ran from the gym, leaving me breathless, my heart in my hands and Kane growling in my head constantly.‘Go back to her. Claim her. OURS.’“She ran!” I said out loud, my frustration bleeding through the burning in my chest.‘But she wanted us. I felt it.’I felt it too, the way she kissed me back, there was no denying it. It was pure hunger, desperation, and a need that matched mine. And the way her body had pressed into mine, fitting me completely. She was made for me. Even without wolf senses, she should be able to feel this connection that we have, right?I hated that there was no one I could ask about this. Finding your true mate was rare, but a wolf mating with a human was almost unheard of. So, there wasn’t really a know-how-to-deal-with-this textbook on the subject.I groaned and shifted on the bed aga

27: The Text Message

XAVIERWhen I didn’t say anything, his eyes became colder if that was even possible. His voice was threateningly calm when he spoke again. “Where were you?”My jaw clenched and unclenched before I replied. “Campus. Training at the gym.”“At one in the morning?” the vein on his forehead pulsed so hard I thought it would pop. “Let me guess, because of her.”I said nothing. What could I say?“Your obsession is making us vulnerable.” He stepped closer. His voice dropped. “The pack feels your instability. Your loss of control. It ripples through the bond and weakens all of us. Makes us look weak to outsiders.”“How would my personal life cause a border breach—”“Because you’re broadcasting your weakness across the supernatural community!” His voice rose slightly. Still controlled but with an edge. “You think other beings can’t sense it? They’re testing us. Seeing if we’re vulnerable enough to attack.”The words hit hard.Because part of me wondered if he was right. If my obsession with Mia

28: Forced Return

MIAI didn’t sleep after Esme finally went back to her bed.How could I? My mind wouldn’t stop replaying everything. The kiss. The necklace glowing. My father’s cold voice. Silas’s threatening text. And that nightmare. God, that nightmare was replaying itself in my head.How it had felt so real, and so vivid, I could swear I loved that and it was just a memory. Which didn’t make sense because wolves don’t exist. Werewolves, at least. That’s just crazy and nonsensical.Rational thought didn’t make me feel better. It only made more questions rush to the forefront of my mind.For the rest of the night, I just laid staring at the ceiling with my hand wrapped around my mother’s necklace. It was back to normal. No matter how many times I turned it or shook it and held it up, nothing happened and it didn’t light up. But I knew what I saw and it wasn’t just a figment of my imagination.The sky was already bright, faint lights streaming in through the blinds. I grabbed my phone and saw it was

29: Dinner With The Devil

MIA“The dress is appropriate,” he said finally, when I didn't speak. He was studying me, like I was some kind of weird specimen he was trying to dissect. “Did you bring the diamond earrings I mentioned?”“Yes, Father.”“Good. The Alarics will be here at six. I expect you to be presentable and pleasant.” His expression hardened slightly. “Silas has been very patient with your little sabbatical. Don’t embarrass me tonight.”Little sabbatical. That’s what he called my life that had nothing to do with being the perfect doll prototype daughter he wanted.“I won’t,” I said through clenched teeth.“See that you don’t.” He stepped aside to let me in. “Your mother’s necklace looks nice. She would have wanted you to wear it tonight.”My hand went to the pendant automatically. Perfect, this is my chance to mention everything that has been happening to it. “Dad, about the necklace—”I made the mistake of looking up at him and the words I thought of saying died in my throat.“Yes?”I swallowed an

30: Deadline

MIA“In two weeks, you’re going to be my wife.”His words slammed into me like a physical blow, knocking the breath from my lungs. No matter how hard I tried to inhale, I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think past the ringing in my ears.His breath brushed my cheek as he leaned in, as though he was savoring the moment and my panic. One of his hands braced on the door beside my head, the other hovering too close to my waist, like he was deciding whether or not to touch me again.My throat went dry. My voice scraped out, barely a whisper.“Y-you’re lying. This won’t–my father–”His deep mocking laugh cut off my pathetic attempt at what? Denial?The truth was, my father would agree to change the date and move the wedding closer. And he wound’t tell me.Did he even plan on letting me know? If so, when?A shiver ran down my spine at the thought of this happening.“As if you didn’t expect this.” Silas's words pulled me from my panic stricken thoughts. His fingers skimmed my wa
