172 In Foot

Eighteen-year-old Zenith Valencia has always lived life with one foot in the shadows. A quiet soul with a paintbrush and a guarded heart, she finds comfort in sunsets, solitude, and the safety of emotional distance, until a chance encounter at the town’s old observatory changes everything. One moment, she's sketching the horizon. The next, she's being swept into the arms of a mysterious stranger, one whose very presence radiates danger, mystery, and something far more primal. He calls her mate. Alejandro Wolfgang isn’t just a werewolf, he’s a walking contradiction. Born of two worlds, rejected by his alpha father, and forced into silence by years of brutal abuse, Alejandro teeters on the edge of losing his humanity. For three long years, his wolf has kept him from falling into the abyss, but it’s Zenith, his fated mate, who finally pulls him back from the brink. To Zenith, Alejandro is odd, soft-spoken, maybe even autistic. But beneath the quiet eyes and childlike innocence lies a fierce, wounded soul with a secret that could upend both their lives. A glowing sapphire bracelet, a mother’s buried shame, and a night long forgotten hold the key to Alejandro’s true identity, and his dangerous potential. As Alejandro finds peace in Zenith’s presence, something ancient stirs within him. And as their bond deepens, so does the danger. Because Alejandro’s enemies aren’t just from his past…they’re hunting his future. In a world where wolves reign in secret and humans are forbidden, Zenith is more than just Alejandro’s mate, she may be the antidote to a curse older than either of them can imagine. His curse was eternal. Her touch was the cure.

There he heard it again as she attacked immediately and he caught her wrist the blade was near on his eyes. He gripped on it and he pinned her down on the floor as he broke her wrist in anger. She growled in pain as she released the dagger. He took it and throw it out. Now with other hand, he reached her right ear and pulled out an earpiece.

My. Mate.” She froze and stops struggling. He finally let her go as he carried her to bed. He reached her broken wrist and fixed it. Then, he put cloth around it to support it. He pulled out his phone and rang Paxton. Then, he tossed it away. “Mate,” straddled over her and reached her neck.
