I don’t say anything. Just turned back and continued staring at nothing.I pretended that his presence wasn’t affecting me. Pretended that I was okay and that every fiber in my being wasn’t vibrating. I was fighting the pull despite Nyx telling me not to. I was used to fighting it since we learned t
I move to the beat of the music, suddenly feeling all my worries wash away. I wanted to forget. To forget that the man I’m in love with is having this party to celebrate finding his mate. To say I'm heartbroken would be an understatement. I am shattered because I knew my love for him would probably
Raised voices bring me out of a peaceful sleep. There were people arguing, but it all sounded so far away. Instead of opening my eyes, I snuggled deeper into the comfy and warm mattress. It felt like heaven. Like I was sleeping in the clouds. Someone shouts my name, but I push the sound back. It wa
The whip lands on my back. I grit my teeth against the pain and refuse to give them the satisfaction of watching me break. I don’t know how long I’ve been here. All I know is that I’m slowly starting to lose my mind. Slowly starting to lose myself. I’ve known nothing but pain since I came here. Not
Alec.It’s been around three months since that bitch turned my life upside down. Three months later, the slut still refuses to talk.I hate her for everything she’s done. If it weren’t for her selfishness, Lola and I would have been mated. She’d most likely be pregnant with my heir. Sadie took all t
[Trigger Warning; The following chapter has mention of S.A, therefore might be sensitive to some readers.]SadieI ran with the little strength I had. I wouldn’t call what I was doing running, but in my head, it was. He was right. I needed to get away if I didn’t want Alec’s warrior to catch me. Thi
My brain is definitely foggy because I know I didn’t hear her right. She was suggesting that I was pregnant, which isn’t possible, right? Even if that were the case, considering all the torture I went through, shouldn’t I already have had a miscarriage? I hung helplessly while she tried to support
Raven I stare at Sadie as she sleeps. My mind was jumbled, and my soul was conflicted. I didn’t know what to do with her. She was basically a stranger. If there is one thing my mother instilled in me before she died, it’s that wolves are dangerous and to never trust them. Sadie was clearly one, ev

The room was too quiet. Aspen had fallen asleep the moment her head touched the pillow, her monkey and elephant clutched tightly in her little arms. I watched her for a long moment, brushing a few stray strands of hair from her forehead. Her tiny mouth hung open just a little, breath even and soft.
The rest of the visit passed in a blur of giggles and tiny hands pressed to glass enclosures. Aspen’s favorites were the baby goats. She got to feed one, and when it nibbled her fingers, she laughed so hard she had to sit down.Alec was right there beside her, brushing dirt off her knees, and I stoo
We got out of the car. The air smelled like pine and sunshine, and Aspen was practically dragging us toward the enclosures before we’d even paid the entrance f*e.“Looook!” she squealed. “That one’s got a funny tail!”“That’s a lemur,” Alec said, keeping pace with her tiny footsteps. “They live in M
SadieThe next day came sooner than I had expected or prepared for. I was still on cloud nine after shifting into our other state. It felt so good. Like I had unlocked something fierce. Something divine. After Alec left, I practiced more and each time it became easier than the last.My mind occasion
“I didn’t tell anyone,” he replied with a shrug. “I was ashamed. But eventually, I realized I couldn’t fight him forever. So, I stopped trying to control him, and I just… accepted him. I accepted that Knox was a part of me. I embraced the power of an Alpha and I allowed myself to merge with my wolf.
SadieThe wind danced around me, soft but persistent, stirring the tall grass that brushed against my legs. It was cool, yet beads of sweat trailed down my spine, clinging to my shirt as if they were trying to remind me just how much effort I was putting into this. My heart pounded, not from exertio
I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. The silence stretched until it felt like it would choke me.“You don’t have to say anything,” he said gently. “I’m not telling you to give him a chance, Sadie. That’s your choice. But I think… I think it’s time to stop hiding.”“Hiding?” I repeated, my voice hollow.“You
Sadie.I’d just come from a run. Sleep had been a distant thought, elusive and half-formed, slipping from my grasp every time I closed my eyes. My mind had been too full of everything and nothing. When day came, and I still couldn’t get any sleep, I decided to go for a run to clear my head before I
