Chapter One:

~Jane~ It’s been a few months since Nathan surprised me with the house. A place meant to be ours. Not just somewhere to live… but somewhere to grow. Together. Somewhere in those quiet space between those days, my feelings for him have changed. Deepened. What started as something fragile—something I was almost too afraid to touch—has become the most certain thing in my life. The fear I used to carry hasn’t disappeared. It’s still lingering… waiting for the wrong moment to remind me of everything I could lose. And I try not to allow it fully control me anymore. Now, I let myself feel it all. The way my heart races when he looks at me. The way everything in me settles when he pulls me close. I’ve stopped fighting it. Stopped running. And in doing that… I’ve let us become something real. Something strong. Every day with Nathan feels like something I was never meant to have—but somehow found anyway. Every laugh, every touch, every quiet moment we share… they’ve

Chapter Two:

~Jane~ As Nathan drove me to school, I stared out the window, watching the world pass in a blur of color and light. But I wasn’t really seeing any of it. My mind was still back in the shower. With him. The heat hadn’t faded. It sat just beneath my skin now—quieter, but deeper. Like something had been awakened and wasn’t ready to sleep again. The water had poured over us, warm and endless, as his hands moved over me—firm, certain… like he already knew exactly how to make me unravel. My breath hitched at the memory. My back had been pressed against the shower wall, cool against my heated skin… his body close, holding me there. Every inch of him grounded me and unraveled me all at once. There hadn’t been space to think. Only to feel. His hands had wandered slowly, deliberately, learning me in a way that made my pulse race… like he wasn’t just touching me, but memorizing me. Worshipping me in every way. And the way I responded— It was instant. Uncontrolled. My body had a

Chapter Three:

~Jane~ The bell rang. And just like that… everything slipped back into reality. Our world—soft, quiet, untouched—faded away. Time was up. Time to be apart again. And no matter how many times it happened… it never got easier. Our fingers stayed intertwined, neither of us ready to let go. Around us, students moved past, voices rising, footsteps echoing—but we didn’t move. We stayed there… holding onto the last fragile seconds. Nathan’s hand lifted slowly to my cheek, his touch warm, grounding. Like he needed this moment just as much as I did. I barely registered Riley’s voice somewhere behind me. “I’ll leave the two of you to have y’all’s moment. I’ll see you in class, Jane.” Her words faded almost as quickly as they came, swallowed by the silence that settled around us. And it was just us again. Nathan leaned in, and our lips met. The kiss was slow… unhurried… like he was committing me to memory. My hands slipped into his hair, holding onto him, trying to keep the

Chapter Four:

~Nathan~ Letting Jane go is never easy. No matter how many times I do it, it never feels right. The moment I step away from her… it feels like I’m leaving a part of myself behind. She completes me in every way. When I’m with her, it’s everything I imagined it would be like when I found her. But mornings like this… when she has to go to school, when I have to walk away and leave her behind— It never feels right. What I wouldn’t give to stay with her. To keep her in my arms and never have to let go. To live in that world we fall into so easily… where it’s just the two of us. The only time I get close to that is on the weekends. Those moments when I don’t have to watch the clock. When I don’t have to count down the hours until I have to leave her again. When I can just be with her… hold her, feel her, exist in everything we are without interruption. But until she graduates… This is our reality. I sit in the car longer than I should, my hands locked around the steering wheel

Chapter 5:

~Jane~ This was my final class before lunch—and with every passing second, something inside me tightened. My heart beat faster inside my chest—too fast, too sharp, like nothing in me would settle. It wasn’t even a thought anymore. It was instinct. The morning had dragged in a way that didn’t feel natural—like time itself was stretching just to keep me from him, leaving a quiet ache I couldn’t shake. I wanted to be close enough to feel him again—close enough that everything inside me would finally settle. I glanced at the clock on the wall behind the teacher’s desk. Only a few minutes left. My fingers tightened slightly around my pencil as I forced myself to look back down at my work, trying to focus… trying to act normal. But it was no use. Every thought circled back to him— not in pieces, but all at once. My breathing slowly deepened, but it did nothing to calm the restless energy building inside me. It was getting harder to ignore. And then— The bell rang. The so

Chapter 6:

~Jane~I could see it.How hard it was for him to keep it in… whatever it was that sat just behind his eyes.There was a distance there.Small.Barely noticeable.But I knew him well enough to feel it.To see the way his thoughts pulled at him, even while he sat right in front of me.And a quiet tension settled beneath my ribs.I wished he would just tell me.This morning at breakfast… when I asked him what was wrong, he brushed it off so easily.“It’s nothing you need to worry about.”But I was worried.More than I wanted to admit.Because whatever it was… it mattered.I knew that much.And a small, uneasy thought crept in—What if it had something to do with the secret he’s been keeping from me?My fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the table before I even realized it.“Nathan… is something wrong?” I asked softly, the words slipping out before I could stop them.The worry I felt was already there… written all over me.He didn’t answer right away.That hesitation—It said

Chapter 7:

~Nathan’s POV~The second she pulls me closer, my control gives way.Not all at once—but enough.Like I’ve been holding the line too long… and it’s finally breaking.The feel of her fingers in my hair, the way she presses into me without hesitation—It lands heavier than it should- deeper. The thought alone sends a surge through me, sharp and consuming, tearing through what little restraint I have left.She consumes me.The way she responds to me… the way her body softens, then ignites under my touch—it pulls at something I keep locked down.Instinct.Raw. Uncontrolled.My grip tightens on her hips, anchoring her against me as a low sound escapes my chest before I can stop it—rough, edged, too close to a growl.Koa surges forward instantly.Mate.The word slams into me- demanding. Absolute.It isn’t a thought.It’s a fact.Mine.I try to hold it back.I always do.But I can feel myself starting to fail. I force control into every movement, every breath, every touch—because if I don

Chapter 8:

~Jane~ I rest my head against his chest, my hands curling lightly into the fabric of his shirt. I’m not sure how much time has passed.Time feels… distant. Unimportant.All I can focus on is the steady rhythm beneath my ear.His heartbeat.Slow. Strong. Consistent.Something about it brings me peace—like it’s pulling me out of the storm inside my own head.For a moment, it almost feels like it’s beating for me.Like somehow… it was always meant to.My breath softens as I let myself sink into it, my body relaxing in his arms.And for a little while—everything else fades.The fear.The doubt.The questions I don’t have answers to.Not gone.Just quieter.His arms stay wrapped around me, holding me close like he hasn’t let go since everything we just said.The words. The promise in his eyes.It’s all still there.I want to believe it.More than anything, I want to trust in what he said.And part of me does.The part that feels it.My fingers tighten slightly against his shirt as I th

Chapter 9:

~Jane~ I step into the locker room with the others and go straight to my locker, grabbing my clothes without thinking.I slip into a stall, change quickly, then step back out—everything automatic, routine.Around me, voices bounce off the walls. Laughter. Easy conversation.Like nothing today meant anything at all.I tuck my clothes away and close the locker with a quiet click.Then I sit, bending to pull on my shoes.“Hey, Jane.”Jenny stops in front of me.I glance up. “Hey.”“You did amazing today,” she says, a proud smile tugging at her lips. “You’re finally letting your instincts take over.”“Thanks, Jenny. That means a lot.”And it does.I can feel the shift now.“I’ll see you next class.” “Yeah.” She heads out with the others, her laughter fading into the hall. I finish up and step out into the hall—Jay already waiting, like always.“Ready?” he asks. I nod, and we fall into step toward the main hall.As I reach the classroom, I spot Riley waiting outside the door.“Hey, J

Chapter 10:

~Nathan~ I watched Jane, her head resting against my chest.Asleep.Safe.My arm stayed wrapped around her, holding her there a moment longer than I should have.Feeling her body against mine, In just a few days, her wolf would awaken.And everything will change, everything between us will more. As I watched her sleep next to me, the more I didn’t want to leave her. But tonight was the night, and I’d have to leave soon and meet my father and the others at the Pack-house. I took a slow breath, giving myself a few more seconds. I slowly eased my arm from around her, careful not to wake her.I slipped out of the bed, and walked over to the other side. I stayed there a moment longer than I should have- taking in every part of her. She was quiet in sleep—unguarded in a way she never let herself be awake.And for a second, I just stood there… committing it to memory. Bringing a hand to her cheek, I brushed my thumb along her soft skin. And leaned forward and placed a small, gently kiss
