My hand trembled so violently that my fingers simply gave out.The plastic test slipped from my palm and hit the bathroom tiles with a sharp clatter that echoed loudly in the small room.I stumbled backward away from the sink because my legs suddenly refused to hold my weight anymore.My spine hit the hard wood of the locked door, and I slid all the way down until I sat on the cold floor.My chest heaved as I desperately tried to pull oxygen into my burning lungs.The air in the bathroom felt too thick to breathe, and black spots started dancing around the edges of my vision.I pressed the heels of my hands against my eyes to stop the room from spinning."No, no, this is literally impossible," I whispered into the quiet space.Men do not get pregnant because we do not have the anatomy for it.It goes against every single rule of science, and yet those two pink lines were glaring up at me from the floor.I dropped my hands and stared at the plastic stick resting near my shoe.My ration

I sat behind my massive mahogany desk and stared at the dark screen of my cell phone.It had been exactly sixty-five minutes since Jett grabbed his messenger bag and walked out of the executive suite.The normal commute from the corporate building to his small apartment usually took forty-five minutes on the subway.I factored in a little extra time for the afternoon crowds, but the agonizing wait was still tearing my nerves to shreds.I tapped my fingers against the polished wood and listened to the steady ticking of the wall clock.Every single second felt like an hour, and the slow passage of time was testing the absolute limits of my sanity.The silence of the empty office was usually a welcome relief after a long day of fielding angry investor calls.Today, the quiet room just felt like a heavy, suffocating cage.My inner wolf paced relentlessly in the shadows of my mind, whining with a deep and persistent distress.The beast hated the fact that I let our fragile human walk out t

The phone on my small kitchen table buzzed again, vibrating against the dark wood with a dull, persistent hum.I sat on the edge of my mattress in the pitch-black bedroom, watching the bright screen light up the wall every few minutes.Ren's name flashed on the display over and over, followed by half a dozen missed call notifications and two voicemail alerts.I didn't reach out to answer it, and I couldn't bring myself to press the button to play his voice messages.I just sat there in the quiet apartment with my knees pulled tightly against my chest, staring blindly at the closet door.Around midnight, heavy footsteps echoed down the narrow, creaky hallway outside my front door.A firm, heavy knock rattled the wooden frame, making my heart jump straight into my throat."Jett?" Ren's deep voice called out from the hallway, sounding slightly muffled through the thick wood."Jett, I know you are in there, so please just open the door and let me see that you are okay."I held my breath an

I left the marketing meeting three hours early because I simply could not sit in that stuffy boardroom for another single minute.My inner wolf spent the entire morning pacing in restless circles inside my mind.The beast scratched at the edges of my self-control and demanded that I return to the top floor to check on our mate.I promised Jett that I would give him plenty of space today so he could breathe and calm down after his panic attack in the anteroom.I broke that promise without a second thought because my own anxiety was eating me alive.The private elevator carried me up to the executive suite in total silence, and I adjusted my silk tie to force my features into a calm, professional mask.I wanted to walk in and find him typing away at his computer with a healthy flush back in his pale cheeks.The heavy mahogany doors swung open under the weight of my hand, and I stepped into the quiet anteroom.I expected to hear the soft tapping of the keyboard or the rustle of paper file

There was no lingering sting, no raw tenderness, just the deep, soothing warmth left behind by his thumbs.It felt incredibly good, and sitting there under his careful watch made me feel genuinely safe for the first time in weeks.That realization terrified me more than the blue spark shooting out of my keyboard.I was relying on him way too much, and the lines between a professional boss and something much deeper were blurring fast.I could not afford to get attached to a powerful billionaire when I was harboring a secret that defied all natural logic.If I let myself sink into that comforting warmth, I would inevitably slip up and tell him the truth.I jerked my hands back and tucked them tight against my chest, crossing my arms to build a physical barrier between us."I... I wasn't playing with anything," I stammered while sinking deeper into my chair."I was just trying to fix a glitch in my spreadsheet, and the battery shorted out."Ren did not call me out on the weak lie, but his
