Haunting Adeline Ch 16

Phoenix’s life takes a disastrous turn when she wakes up in a grimy hotel room just two days before her mating ceremony. Her life is ruined, and she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her because not only is their a lingering smell on the sheet, which indicates that she has been unfaithful, Dylan is in the hotel room yelling profanities at her. By her unexplained actions, she has become disgraced, banished, and may have sparked a war between her pack and Dylan’s. Werewolves mate for a life, and a broken mating arrangement is an unforgivable sin. At 16, Phoenix was promised to Dylan as a way to unify their packs after years of rivalry. An alliance now broken by her infidelity. Although she would have preferred to wait for her chosen mate, she has long accepted that being Dylan’s chosen mate and Luna of his pack is a fate she can endure. Now branded as a disgrace and banished, Phoenix has been replaced by her half sister as Dylan’s mate. Exiled from the home she has always known, Phoenix is left to wander the forests as a rogue. Her central thought is to survive and navigate life alone whilst looking for a pack that will take her in, but she must face all her fears one at a time. Her life in exile takes an unexpected twist when she finds her true mate in the most unexpected way. How does she keep the secret of being the fated golden wolf? How does she stay away from her chosen mate to keep her secret? Will she learn to harness her powers and save her kind from a looming war with the hunters? Like her name, will she rise from the ashes?

April Robinson has just come of age: the time when most werewolves discover their fated mates. But instead of joy, she finds heartbreak. The moment she meets her destined mate, he rejects her. Worse, he imprisons her, tortures her, and strips away everything—and everyone—she holds dear. Shattered but not broken, April escapes, determined to uncover the truth about her lineage. But her journey awakens an ancient enemy that had long lain dormant—one with ties to her bloodline and a thirst for vengeance. Enter Alpha Cassius. Hardened, powerful, and not looking for love, Cassius never expected to fall for April. She’s not his mate, but that doesn’t stop him from choosing her—protecting her, cherishing her, loving her. Just when April starts to believe she’s found peace, fate throws her another curveball: her second chance mate, Jason Parker. Jason, Beta of his pack, has all but given up on love. Betrayed by someone who used him for status, he’s nursing wounds of his own when April stumbles into his territory. The instant connection is undeniable—but with April’s past still haunting her and Jason’s own scars fresh, the path forward is anything but simple. Can two hearts broken by betrayal learn to trust again? Will April choose the bond of fate or the love she’s built from choice? And with enemies closing in from all sides—old and new—will love be enough to survive the coming storm? In a battle between destiny and desire, who will win: the heart or the mate bond?

"What do you want from me, Vin?" She whispers. Her eyes linger all over my face and settle on my lips and she bites hers. Fuck me. I will beg on my knees to have her. To fulfill all the fantasies haunting my dreams since we parted. " I want you, baby. I will always want you. Every day of my life" I honestly whisper, begging her with my eyes. "And why didn't you wait for me?" Her scowl returns as she tries to push me away" You claim to have been waiting for me, yet you fuck anything with a damn hole. Is that what you want from me, a quick fuck?" She screams in my face and I grit my teeth in annoyance. "Then fuck me and get the hell out of my house" Eva yells and I quickly pull away as if she just burnt me. "That is not what I want Eva, you are being ridiculous" Eva chuckles and lifts her dress and takes it off. I groan warning her to stop but she doesn't listen. She takes off the holster holding two daggers and tosses them on the floor. Eva and Vin grow up in an orphanage together. Circumstances lead them to part ways, and when they meet again, they are completely different people from what they used to be. Can their love keep them together from the worlds they find themselves in, or what they had was just childish fantasies?
