KHA -

I pulled up to campus, exhaustion pulling at every muscle. Eve and Drake had classes until late afternoon. I figured I could grab a nap and maybe reset.

I texted Eve while walking to my building, letting her know I'd be at the dorm. I told her to come by when she was done so we could drive back to the rental.

As I opened the door to my dorm, Eve's name flashed across the screen. I answered, already smiling.

Her voice rushed through before I could speak. "Kha, please listen to me before you go into your..."

The second the door swung open, the smell hit me.

Drake.

He'd been here.

His scent clung to every surface.

It wasn't just his presence. It was more than that.

They'd had sex in here.

In my room.

While I was locked up being tortured, they were here wrapped in each other.

I growled into the phone, the words rough. "Eve… why does..."

I stopped short.

I scanned the mess.

Sheets wadded on the floor. The bed unmade. The scent of them everywhere. The smell of sex ever

    I pulled Eve back from Kha mid-shift. It was hell. He tore into her hand. Muscles and tendons hanging loose. Blood everywhere. The kind of injury you don't come back from clean. It wasn't a scratch. It was trauma. Something raw and horrifying. Something you don't do to someone you love. In the ambulance, I held her uninjured hand while they tried to stop the bleeding. My mind refused to cooperate. It short-circuited. All I could feel was rage and panic crashing into each other. Kha had hurt her. Actually hurt her. Emory wouldn't shut up. He thrashed inside me, furious, inconsolable. Eve's blood was too much for him. Too much for me. My cast would be gone in weeks. Her hand? It'd never be the same. When they wheeled her into surgery, I headed back to the waiting room. Kha sat hunched, wrecked. I wanted to hit him. Instead, I just watched him. He already looked like he'd lost everything. Everything was a fucking disaster. We shouldn't have had sex in his bed. But we d

    EVE - Reality hit hard. Drake and I hadn't cleaned up Kha's room, and when I saw his text saying he was heading there to lie down, I panicked. Now, after emergency surgery to save a couple of fingers on my left hand, I faced the numbing aftermath. My hand, heavily bandaged, felt like nothing for now, but I knew the pain was coming fast. How was I supposed to move on from this? Pretend like nothing happened? Waking up to Eli's face pushed everything else aside. She stepped into view, arms folded, eyes narrowing. "What in the hell did you get yourself into now?" "Stop. I can't... not right now, Eli." My throat tightened around the words. "Mom. You are to call me Mom, remember? I am paying for your damn life after all. I deserve that much, at least." I shifted against the stiff hospital sheets. "Where are the guys who were with me?" She rolled her eyes. "I had them removed. I'm sure they had something to do with this." "It was a dog. They saved me. Got me here. Stayed with me

    DRAKE Seeing Eve push Kha away and pull me closer stirred something deep in my chest. Not lust. Not pride. Something more penetrating. Emory practically buzzed. His energy pressed into mine, making us both eager and restless. When Eve said she didn't want to go home with Eli, it felt like the clouds parted. I offered to drop my classes and take her to my place. Dad would flip over the classes, but he'd understand the rest. She hesitated. "I don't know, Drake… we aren't…" I stepped in before she could finish that sentence. "I'm not saying we have to be anything like that. I just want things to calm down, and I think you do too. Going home with her isn't going to help." I held her eyes. "I don't have much to offer, but I can give you that. A quiet place to heal. No pressure. No expectations. Please, Eve. This chaos—this mess—it won't follow us there. Just let me try. Let me show you." She studied me for a long moment, her eyes searching. Then came the smallest nod. "A week, Drake

    DRAKE - "Do you? Because I don't think you do." I stepped in closer, voice sharp. "I don't want to force anything on her. I want a real relationship with her." Ty's jaw twitched. "This isn't about what you want, Drake. It's about what's best for the pack. Eve is perfect. Physically. Mentally. Everything. We need to bring her in. The best way is for you to mark her and get her pregnant. Yesterday." I scoffed. "You talk about her like she's a breeder. Not a person." He didn't blink. "Don't be naive. This is about survival. Strengthening the pack. If you can't see that, maybe you're not fit to be Alpha." I didn't hold back. "Are you in love with her or something? Because you sound obsessed." He smirked. "I am an Alpha. And she's... what did she call it? Alpha Bait?" I stepped right up to him. "You think this is a joke? You think saying that makes me back off?" Ty held my stare. "Get mad over me saying that and ignore the two hundred other Alphas in the world who'll feel the same w

    DRAKE I drifted off, feeling Drake's steady breathing against my cheek. He kept his arm draped protectively over my waist. The bed was smaller than his, forcing us to curl up closely together. The room still had that freshly clean smell, everything perfectly in place from when I had moved in. It felt strange and wonderful, like a sanctuary just for us. He did exactly what he said he would. He created a safe place for me. I couldn't believe this was happening. I was here with Drake in the Stclaire mansion. Drake had drifted off to sleep totally nude. It caught me off guard at first, but there was a simplicity and a rawness that felt strangely intimate. I pulled on his boxers because I couldn't find my own clothes, and the room was cold. When I opened my eyes, Drake was no longer in the room. My arm ached, a reminder of the recent surgery and why I was here to begin with. I found some clothes and headed to the bathroom. I needed a shower and, luckily, my cast was wate

    DRAKE The healer removed my cast, freeing my arm. The relief was instant as I flexed my fingers, feeling the freedom of movement again. “Feels so much better,” I said, rotating my wrist.She smiled at me. “I’m happy. So, what’s next?”“Want to go swimming?” I asked. “Emory loves to swim.”She nodded eagerly. “I’d love that.”We made our way to the pool. Eve looked beautiful in her swimsuit. Her body was perfect. So damn perfect. I noticed several omegas unable to keep their eyes where they belonged. I wrapped my arm around her and eyed them, biting my lip to keep from growling as well.I couldn't really blame them. I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off her either. Although her cast-covered arm prevented her from swimming, she seemed excited nonetheless.“Ready to meet Emory?” I asked, a grin spreading across my face.Eve’s eyes sparkled. “Absolutely,” she replied.I stripped off my clothes, feeling the thrill of the transformation ripple through me. Emory emerged, taking over w

    DRAKE We made our way inside the pool house. I led her to a secluded room, away from prying eyes. I'd lost my virginity in this very room, in this same bed. I was never going to tell her that, though. I wanted to replace those memories with the real thing. As soon as the door closed behind us, she was in my arms with an enthusiasm that took my breath away. The sounds she made were like a drug, each gasp and moan fueling the fire in me. I watched her face as I laid her on the bed, her eyes closed, her lips parted as she breathed heavily. Seeing her already so lost in me was almost too much to bear.I leaned down, exploring every curve of her body.She responded, her body arching toward mine, gripping my forearm with an intensity that matched my own hunger.I was so ready for her, every fiber craving her body. I had to work to pace myself. As I kissed and licked up her thigh, she tugged on my hair. I was making all manner of noises. All raw, all primal. All noises I would have

    EVEHe pushed me down on the mattress, putting his entire weight on me as he started growling and moaning loudly in my ear. I felt each wave wash through his body as he pulsated inside me. I loved how I felt every inch, every subtle and not-so-subtle ripple as his muscles moved in response to the pleasure surging through him. He rolled onto his back, pulling me on top of him. I rested my head on his chest, tracing patterns on his skin. “You like sex. I can tell,” I said with a teasing smile. He laughed softly. “What guy doesn’t?” “Yeah, but you really like it,” I replied. “Yeah, you're right. I’m always insanely horny. Hell, I would do it three times a day if you’d agree.” I couldn't stop myself from teasing him. “Quite the stamina, huh?” “I’m not playing,” he said seriously. “I’ve been that way as long as I can remember.” Discomfort crossed his face, and he seemed to regret admitting it. “Don’t do that,” I said. “If it’s a part of you, I want to know about it. I'd say I've p

    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
