EVE

Walking onto the field, I half-expected someone to stop me, but to my surprise, no one did.

Not even the coach.

I approached Kha and Drake, seething myself. "Stop already," I demanded, my voice steady despite my racing heart. "This will get neither of you anywhere."

Kha's reaction was immediate. "Eve, please get off the field," he pleaded, looking around at the players.

But I stood my ground. "Not until you both agree to stop! I'm not kidding!" I insisted, looking back and forth between them.

My presence on the field, breaking the usual norms, seemed to stun them both momentarily. It was a clear sign of my desperation for them to see reason and understand that this display of aggression wasn't solving anything.

It only exacerbated the tension and the danger. This would end with one of them injured, and then I would have to live knowing I had caused it. They weren't thinking this through, or if they were, they sure as hell didn't care about my feelings here.

That much was becom

    DRAKE I berated myself for losing control yet again. What about this girl is making me act this way? My thoughts were a jumbled mess. Emory, my usually calm wolf, had become agitated and restless around Eve, which was entirely out of character for him.Catching the water bottle Eve threw me, I couldn't help but notice Kha's reaction, or instead, his lack of response. Perhaps his mom's presence was a deterrent to his usual explosive temperament. Holding the bottle, I deliberately took slow, measured sips, glancing subtly at Kha each time. The look on his face every time I drank from the bottle his girlfriend had given me was too enticing to ignore. It was a small victory, but even minor triumphs were significant in our complicated rivalry.Exhaling deeply, I tried to refocus on the reason we were here. "Look, we have a game tomorrow, and we need to be focused on practicing," I said, setting the bottle aside. "Let's say what needs to be said and get this over with."Kha, still se

    EVE I was reeling as I stood there, wedged between Kha and Drake again, preventing them from coming to blows. Drake's words, accusing Kha of controlling me, echoed in my head. It upset me even more when I realized there was a sliver of truth in his accusation. I often find myself tiptoeing around Kha's moods and emotions. But I had committed to Kha, fully aware of his struggles, and I had chosen this path with my eyes wide open. Nothing was going to sway me from it.The next day, Kha drove us there instead of taking the bus. It was only a few hours away, and he didn't relish being cooped up on the bus for so long.I wouldn't be allowed on the bus with him if we were honest about the real reason.Before we left, Lori mentioned she was going to see Kha's dad and would meet us the next day."He probably doesn't even know I'm in the US right now," she commented.Kha chuckled. "He knows, Mom.""Did you tell him?" she asked.He laughed. "You think we talk like that? No, he used to tell

    KHA The game against the other team was intense, but it became personal when an Alpha player on the other team made a derogatory comment about "my little girlfriend in the stands." Hearing that made my blood boil.I tried to channel my anger into the game, looking for opportunities to confront him on the field without causing a scene. My efforts quickly racked up penalties, and I realized I needed to back off. I knew Eve would be proud of me for exercising some restraint, even though every fiber of my being screamed for retribution.When the game ended, I was eager to have Eve join me on the field. But as I looked up, I saw that player blocking her at the bottom of the steps. Something inside me just snapped. The next thing I knew, we were in a full-blown fight. I was so consumed by rage that I barely even remember the details of the altercation.Sitting in the holding cell at the police station, I struggled to keep calm. Vance hated confinement and was going stir-crazy. I coul

    EVE As Drake pulled into campus, Kha hesitated to reveal our rental location, so we decided to get dropped off at my dorm instead. The door to the dorm had been fixed since the last incident, but Kha was still wary about sneaking in."Stop worrying, and come on," I urged him, confident we could get in without trouble. To our relief, we managed to slip into the dorm undetected. We found Rissa sitting there, looking up with surprise and amusement."Really... I haven't seen you for a week, and when you finally return, you bring him?" she said as she eyed him playfully.I punched her arm. "Thanks for the heads-up, Peppy," I said.Rissa turned to Kha. "Well, I'm not allowed to tell you... I guess that rule doesn't extend to the alphas on campus."Her eyes widened as she noticed my ring. She grabbed my hand, her initial excitement morphing into a playful punch aimed at Kha, who dodged it. "Good job, alpha," she said.As I plugged in my phone, Kha sent a quick text to Lori explaining t

    EVE He drove back to campus the next day, and everyone acted like nothing had happened at the game the night before. I guess Drake really did have the pull he said he did. I was in my second class when I noticed something peculiar. There were always blonde-haired, blue-eyed people around me now. Always watching. Always walking by. Constantly... monitoring what I was doing.At first, I tried to ignore it, thinking it was just my imagination. But as the day went on, it became impossible to dismiss. Their presence was too consistent, too deliberate. I was going to wait to tell Kha until we got back to the rental, but when one almost ran into me and then sniffed the air subtly, I had enough. The intrusion was too blatant to overlook any longer.I spotted Kha in the hallway shortly after and hurried over to him. "I think Drake has people following me around," I blurted out.Kha's eyes turned red, his protective instincts flaring up immediately as he looked around and noticed the sa

    EVE They moved Drake to a room to watch him overnight. I helped get everything set up, ordering a few things he might need. He liked sushi too, so we ended up having a really late dinner together, sitting in his hospital room."Thanks for coming with me, seriously," Drake said between bites of his sushi. "I'm pretty sure Dad only came so fast because Lori was with him."I couldn't help it. The curiosity was too strong. "So, what's the deal with your dad and Lori?"Drake sighed and leaned back against the pillows. "They were... involved on and off. He never made any effort to hide it from me. It got so bad sometimes I started thinking Lori might be my mom too."I nearly choked on my food. "So, you don't even know who your mom is?""Nope," he said bitterly. "And my dad flat-out refuses to tell me."I glanced at him, my mind racing. "And Lori? Could she be your mom?"He laughed, shaking his head. "No. If she were, my wolf would look like Kha's.""You know, I don't have the first

    DRAKE Emory was howling. Literally howling in my head as Eve leaned in close enough for me to kiss her. She was clearly giving me an opening. I leaned in and softly pecked her lips before resting my forehead on hers. Looking down at her hands in her lap, that damn engagement ring mocked me. "Eve," I whispered, "you're engaged to him. As much as I want to... I only want you to be mine. I'm not the type to share." She pulled away from me, her leg breaking contact with mine. Emory was losing it, literally losing it. His excited howls quickly morphed into pained whines. It made me wonder if this was what Kha always dealt with. He always liked to say Vincent, or whatever his wolf's name is, was far more restless. "Drake, what are you doing? Just mark her!" Emory howled, his voice echoing in my mind. "Calm the hell down, Emory," I shot back, trying to steady my thoughts. "Mark her, and it won't matter! She'll be ours," he insisted, his desperation real. "Those kinds of r

    KHA Watching the ambulance pull away with my girlfriend and my rival in the back was hard. So fucking hard. I figured it was only a matter of time before this started. I had always watched my mom and dad fight over things like this my whole life. Mom would get frustrated and run off to who knows where, but I never asked questions. I didn't want to know.I had an idea, but that ate at Vance more than anything else. It was a volatile topic, one I preferred to leave alone."Bane, come here!" Coach yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.I jogged over, trying to read his expression. "Yeah, Coach?"He scowled, clearly furious. "What the hell were you thinking with that hit? You know better than to target a quarterback like that!"I tried to explain, but he cut me off."No excuses! That was reckless and now, thanks to you, Drake's out. You're taking over as quarterback.""Wait, what?" I stammered."You heard me," he barked. "You're the QB now. Get your head in the game and stop maki

    DRAKE The stadium roared with energy, the stands packed with students, parents, and alumni, ready for the season's first game. Eve and I sat near the middle. I glanced at her, her bright blue eyes fixed on the field, her lips tight as she scanned the players."Kha's still safety, right?" she asked, her voice quieter than usual, her nerves showing."Yeah, and Con's the quarterback this year," I confirmed. "Con played well last season, so he'll probably dominate. I was watching his highlight reels, and I'm impressed."Eve bit her lip, her hands gripping the edge of the seat. Her anxiety was obvious. Every time Con or Kha got the ball, her whole body stiffened like she was bracing for impact herself."Are they always this intense?" she asked, her eyes following Kha as he positioned himself for the next play."Yeah," I shrugged, glancing at her. "You'll get used to it. Con especially. He lives for this stuff."Just as I spoke, Con took the snap, dropping back to pass. Kha darted across t

    EVE He pulled the towel off of my body as he positioned me on the bed. He got up to lock the door, and I couldn't help but watch him, appreciating how much care he took in everything he did these days. He may have been rubbing off on Drake, but Drake was doing the same in return. When he closed his eyes briefly, I spoke up, "Rissa won't come back anytime soon. She's in class." He looked back at me with a small smile. "I just wanted to make sure," he replied before returning to the bed. As he climbed back onto the bed, the playfulness in his eyes was unmistakable. It reminded me of the first time we were together, how he both treated me with gentleness and teased me throughout. He started tracing my breast, circling my nipple before lightly tugging on the ring. The sensation made me arch my back slightly, pressing into his touch. He smiled at me, and then he leaned down, kissing my nipple before looping his tongue through the ring. I couldn't hold back the loud moan, my hips i

    EVE I saw Kha lingering outside the locker room and pulled him aside. His posture was tense, and his usual confidence was absent. I didn't want him to go back in there, not after everything that had happened."Kha, let's just go," I urged. "I don't want to wait for you to change."He looked down at me, the stress in his shoulders easing slightly. "Sure," he agreed, though I sensed some hesitation. "What about Drake? I drove here with him in his truck."I frowned, realizing this could complicate things. Drake and I already had our moment. It was Kha's turn now. I needed some time alone with Kha, away from all the tension building up. "Let him know we're leaving. I'll call for an Uber."Kha nodded and jogged over to Drake, who was sitting nearby. I watched as they exchanged a few words, with Kha gesturing in my direction. Drake looked concerned but didn't argue. He just nodded, and Kha headed back to me.While waiting for the car, I decided to text Con. I didn't want him worrying or wo

    EVE The day with Conrad was easy, almost too easy. After the morning's chaos, it was strange how simple everything felt when just the two of us were in his room. We didn't do much. We just hung out, letting the hours slip away without worrying about what was happening outside those walls. He was easy to be around, and the stress that usually came with Kha and Drake was nowhere to be found. It was a relief, even if I felt guilty for enjoying it.As the afternoon crept closer to practice time, I realized I needed to change clothes. My usual routine of heading to my room was out of the question. I couldn't bear the thought of running into Kha or Drake or them getting updates from pack members after everything that had happened. They were probably still fuming, and I wasn't ready to face that just yet."I need to change," I said, glancing at the time. "But I don't want to go to my room."Con nodded, understanding immediately. He got up from where he was sitting and rummaged through a d

    DRAKE Kha and I sat in silence, both of us trying to calm down after the near fight that had driven Eve away. My chest still burned with frustration, and I could see the strain in Kha's every movement. We'd almost come to blows, and the close we'd come to tearing each other apart made me sick. We both knew better. But knowing better hadn't stopped us. "She's not in her room," Kha muttered. "How do you know?" I asked. After everything that just happened, the thought of her being alone right now was agonizing. I was about to chase her down if we didn't figure out where she was. Command be damned. "Rissa just told me," he replied through gritted teeth. "She checked. Eve didn't go back to her room." It hit me. I knew where she had gone. There was only one place she would feel safe after what had happened. "She's with Ford." Kha didn't say anything at first, but I could see the fear in his eyes. "Of course she is," he finally said. "Why wouldn't she go to him? He's perfect fo

    CONI couldn't believe she was here, lounging on my bed like it was the most natural thing in the world. After breakfast, I thought she'd stick with Kha and Drake, but she came to my room instead. She didn't hesitate, didn't second-guess it. Once I got her to calm down, she just walked in and made herself comfortable. Now, she was stretched across my bed, propped up on her elbows, watching me work on her bracelet. I wasn't even trying, yet she seemed drawn to me, like some invisible force kept pulling us together. She looked so calm and at ease in my room, and I wondered how she fit here so perfectly.I focused on weaving together a couple of leather bands with orange glittery strings. I laid the materials on the desk.She tilted her head. "Where do you keep orange glitter clothing?" she teased.I smiled. "They're from my old jersey from my last college. It became my good luck charm after a while, and I thought it might also bring you some luck."She narrowed her eyes slightly, not

    EVE We headed to Kha's room after breakfast, and I knew why. Because Drake's room was directly beneath Con's.As soon as we entered the room, I sighed heavily, knowing what was coming."Just get it out," I said, bracing myself.Kha and Drake exchanged a look, biting back their words. I could see the storm brewing in their eyes, but they were holding back. I wasn't going to let them stew in their frustrations all day, not when I could feel their emotions swirling around us, threatening to suffocate me."No," I insisted. "You're not stewing in this all day. Get it out. Now."That was all it took. The dam broke, and it all came pouring out. Drake started. "We're upset, Eve. This whole thing with Ford... it's driving us crazy. We're jealous, okay? We don't like the way he looks at you, the way he's always there, always perfect. It's like he's this perfect guy for you, and we're scared. We're scared you'll want him more than us."Kha jumped in, his emotions even more raw than expected. "

    EVE I woke up feeling queasy, but I pushed through it, determined to start the day on a good note. Kha, Drake, and I headed to the dining hall for breakfast. The usual smells hit me like a freight train, and I had to swallow hard to keep the nausea at bay. I tried to focus on the conversation with Kha and Drake, but ignoring the churning in my stomach was hard.I was picking at my food when I saw Conrad walk in. My stomach clenched harder, but it wasn't just the nausea this time. Something compelled me to move, to go to him. I stood up, ignoring the questioning looks from Kha and Drake, and walked over to Conrad.Before I could even speak, Conrad's hand found my arm, his touch steadying me almost instantaneously. The nausea vanished, and I felt clear-headed for the first time that morning. Without thinking, I invited him to join us once he got his food. But it wasn't just an invitation. It was a command. I realized what I'd done the moment the words left my mouth, but it was too

    CONRAD I didn't plan on kissing her. Hell, I wasn't even sure how we ended up so close that it happened. But when it did, everything changed. The moment our lips touched, it was like something inside me shifted. I finally understood why those two guys were so damn obsessed with her. The connection between us was intense and something I couldn't shake even after it ended.I would do anything to kiss her again. The spark, the way it made me feel...I couldn't even put it into words. It was more than just a physical connection. It was like a piece of her had lodged itself inside me, and I didn't want to let it go.The fact that she was pregnant, something that had always made me hesitant, suddenly didn't matter. The baby was a part of her, and that was enough for me. Realizing that what had kept me from taking things further with her was now irrelevant should have been unsettling. But it wasn't.Instead, it felt like everything was falling into place, like this was where I was supposed
