Returning to the stands, I slid back beside Rissa. "I saw the girl Kha slept with in the bathroom."

Rissa shook her head. "You need to drop that boy," she advised quietly.

"I already broke up with him, remember?" I reminded her. I didn't even believe the words as they left my lips.

I had just called him my boyfriend in the bathroom.

It was clear where my mind was still.

Rissa laughed. "I highly doubt he thinks that's true."

The game continued with its share of high-tension and thrilling plays. Drake excelled on the field. His athleticism was undeniable as he scored and assisted with compelling precision.

True to form, Kha was a chaotic mess of energy and aggression. His tackles teetered on the edge of recklessness, drawing penalties and reluctant admiration from the crowd.

For all the chaos he caused daily, this was one of the many reasons the school loved him. Few could justify celebrating his personality while on the field while simultaneously shunning it in daily life.

    KHA There was a security officer standing near the front door of my building as we pulled up. I looked at Eve, who was already shaking her head. "Yeah, my dorm is out as well," I muttered.I paused momentarily, considering our options. Then, without thinking it through, I said, "I'll just get us a rental. We need to be far away from the dorms for this anyway."Eve looked almost scared. "Why must we be away from the dorms?""Smooth job there, Ace," Vance remarked in my head. I bit my tongue for a moment before I turned to her. "Do you still trust me? Do you believe you're safe with me, Eve?" I asked.Vance's voice echoed in my head, mocking me. "She doesn't trust you. How could she, after everything you've done?""Shut up, Vance. You caused it, not me." I snapped back mentally. "Plus, you know she's the only one who keeps us sane.""She keeps you sane, maybe. But what about me? I'm always in shambles because of you and I don't get to see her," Vance retorted."You think I don't k

    KHA So, I forced him to witness the hurt we had caused, maintaining my focus on her as he tried to pull it away. Holding her, all I could think about was how desperately I needed to make things right."Please stop crying and listen to me," I pleaded. "I can tell you everything now. Everything. But we have to let the delivery get here first.""Why do we have to wait for the delivery?" she asked in confusion."Because things might get a little crazy after I tell you, and I don't want anyone coming around," I tried to explain. It came out as little more than creepy at best. Vance chuckled darkly, mocking my efforts even though they were for him. "Smooth job again there, Ace."She started to panic, and I internally cursed. Vance was a total mess, his chaotic thoughts mirroring my own. "No, no, shit. It's nothing you have to fear... fuck, I'm messing this all up," I stammered, frustration with myself and Vance boiling over.Eve grabbed my hand, her touch instantly silencing Vance's cha

    After several moments of holding her, Eve finally spoke up, catching me off guard. "I thought you said he talked," she said. It made me laugh and her eye me. "He does, to me," I explained, still chuckling. "You have inner thoughts, right? Well, I have mine and his. And he is relentless with me. If he could talk to you, you'd probably hate both of us.""That's messed up," Vance chimed in my head, and I mentally snapped back at him, "Well, it's true. You're a part of me, and I hate you most of the time."Surprised that this was the first thing she chose to ask after such a revelation, I held her at arm's length, looking into her eyes. "Are you okay, really?" I asked, genuinely concerned about how she was processing all this."I guess, I don't know... I think I'm in shock," she admitted, her response ringing with a hint of disbelief and confusion."You likely are, and that's okay," I reassured her with a slight chuckle. "I'll answer any question you have. I can now.""So your dad would

    She nodded, avoiding my gaze, and my heart sank. Inside, Vance roared aggressively, but I quickly silenced him. "Shut up and stay out of it, Vance. We were the ones who messed up, not her. Whatever she did after seeing us with that girl isn't on her."Taking a deep breath, I tried to process her admission. "I understand," I managed to say, "It's not easy to hear, but I understand."Standing up, I began to get dressed.I was hurt, undoubtedly, but I knew I had no right to be angry. It was a harsh realization, recognizing the depth of the pain I had caused and its impact on our relationship.As I dressed, I struggled to keep my emotions under control, aware that this moment was pivotal for us. The way we handled this situation would define the future of our relationship. I needed to be understanding and supportive, demonstrating that I was still the person she could trust and rely on despite everything.I clung to the faint hope that our relationship wasn't over. She hadn't run away f

    EVE Sitting there with Kha, everything around me took on an air of surrealism. Was this even real?Kha is a werewolf.An Alpha werewolf. And so is Drake.The food arrived, and despite my earlier claims of being unable to eat, I devoured my meal and stole some of Kha's fries. Watching him laugh...a sound I adored...reminded me why I had fallen in love with him. Love. I was in love with a werewolf. The realization made my head spin. If we ever had children, they would be werewolves, too. The thought was both intriguing and slightly terrifying.Curiosity got the better of me, and I ventured, "If we have kids, will they be like... quarter werewolves or something?"Kha seemed momentarily caught off guard by the question but maintained his composure as he clarified, "No, Eve, I'm fully a wolf, and our kids would be as well. Werewolf genetics aren't a matter of percentage. It's a yes or no question."Realizing we were talking about "our kids" as if it were a foregone conclusion, I f

    KHA Sitting in the parking lot of Eve's dorm, I couldn't help but notice the boarded-up door. Marley waved at me from the window after letting Eve in. I smiled and winked at her. She was my cousin, my pack Beta's girlfriend. He'd gotten kicked out the year before for busting a guy's head open over her. She understood anger issues. And she loved Eve. I berated myself, wondering how much it cost Dad to smooth over this situation. I had let things spiral out of control, and that was a clear reminder of the damage I could inflict.My thoughts wandered back to the conversation with my dad, where I had pleaded with him to let me tell Eve everything. He was hesitant, not out of a desire to control me, but because he had endured a similar ordeal with my mom. She hadn't taken the news well and had left him for years before they reconciled. Years she spent living with Drake's father, Ty. He tried to shield me from the same heartache, but I had to convince him that this rule was causi

    KHAI snapped, "Shut up before you get me kicked out, and we both lose Eve." He grumbled but conceded.At the end of practice, Drake's voice rang out, challenging anyone to a drill. It was a clear provocation aimed at me.I knew I couldn't ignore it. So did he. Such is the nature of alphas. Challenges must be met, especially from a rival like Drake. It wasn't just about pride but about standing and showing strength. Abut defending what was ours. Resigned, I stepped back onto the field. "You don't want to do this, Drake," I warned as I took my position."I'm not scared of you," he retorted, grinning confidently.I could finally wipe that fucking grin off his face without getting in trouble. With the school or coach anyway, Eve was going to be pissed."You should be," I retorted. I was 7 inches taller than he was and not babied on the field. Plus, with so many people around, we were limited to human power. He may have had a chance as a wolf, but I was far stronger as a human.What

    EVE Vance stepped back and transformed back into Kha. He smiled warmly at me and pulled me into his arms. "Yeah, not a good idea to fall asleep when I'm in wolf form like that... Vance woke me up, screaming that we were both stupid.""You were asleep, but he wasn't?" I asked, surprised.Kha laughed. "Yeah, but don't even try to figure that one out. You'll hurt your brain." His laughter was infectious, and I smiled despite his dual nature's confusion and complexities."Are you mad at me?" I asked tentatively.He shook his head. "No, not mad. But I do feel a little... betrayed, I guess? You didn't trust me, and that stings. But I love you, and I understand why you did it."A smile spread across my face, relief washing over me. "I love you too," I whispered.I noticed a giant grin lighting up Kha's face, and I couldn't help but ask, "What?"He chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well... when you said you loved... us earlier, I can't even explain what happened inside Vance. He

    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
