Alpha's Substitute Bride Chapter 26
Blossom PovI didn't know what to expect, but nothing could have prepared me for the absolute bliss I felt, the waves of sheer enjoyment Dean stirred within me.Every time Dean came near, his man-werewolf scent ignited a deep passion inside me. Throughout the day, that passion built up until Dean released it all in wonderful waves, like nothing I had ever experienced before. I couldn't have imagined the way he made me feel.When I first laid eyes on him, I thought he was incredibly handsome—the kind of he-werewolf Diana and I fantasized about as teenagers. Probably the most attractive male I'd ever seen in person. His voice, both authoritative and gentle, almost velvety, added to his appeal. His confidence made him even more irresistible.After the court proceedings, when he approached me, his scent stirred something within me that I had never felt before. Later, when we were alone and Dean began kissing me passionately, marking me, I realized that the aching I'd felt was the passion

Blossom POV.Since I'm still getting acquainted with the villa, I don't know my way around well, but I hope I can find Dean nearby. Quietly, I open the door and step into the dimly lit corridor. I'm not sure how many others are sleeping in the villa, but I've noticed several doors lining the hallway. I vaguely remember hearing that Dean had a library down here—a place where he could escape from everyone else. Maybe that's where he went.I pause, considering whether I should return to our suite and simply wait for him. If he sought out space to be alone with his thoughts, perhaps I should respect that. Reluctantly, I head back into our suite, close the door behind me, and sink to the floor, wrapping my robe around my legs. I feel exhausted and could use some sleep, but my mind is racing, and I know I won't get any rest until I'm sure that Dean is all right.Just then, I hear a familiar voice in the hallway. It's Caleb—he must be coming home from the after-party. I stand up and crack op

Blossom POV Uncle Alejandro had left everything in a heap on the floor of our room, torn to pieces. But it wasn't just about that. Long before, he had stolen our property and our royal standing. Time and again, our uncle had isolated us, demeaned us, and manipulated us so he could maintain control. I had to admit; my uncle had frequently made me feel angry.Yet, I had never felt the same level of rage for him as I did at this moment. At first, I thought it was because my uncle had worn me down over the years with his deceitful ways, making me numb to his antics. But then I realized my greater anger at Dean was due to sheer disappointment.I expected terrible things from my uncle. It made me angry, but once I understood he wasn't the supportive family member I hoped he'd be after our parents died, none of his terrible actions came as a surprise. I couldn't let myself get all twisted up over his behavior.But Dean? Dean had made incredible, passionate love to me. He promised to always

Blossom POV.Her words were like a balm to my troubled mind, lifting a great weight from my chest. There was something sincerely trustworthy about her that made me believe she was speaking the truth. However, the image of Dean with Liza earlier, with her arms around his neck, still lingered in my mind."Let me offer you a piece of advice," the maid continued with a knowing look. "Don't pay attention to Liza. She's trying her best to drive a wedge between you and Master Dean. But hopefully, she'll be moving out soon."With that, she opened a notebook and started reviewing some housekeeping details. Once we were finished, she and I walked together to the breakfast room. As I entered, I cast a quick glance around, but there was no sign of Dean. Impatience bubbled within me; I was eager to put my plan into motion.As I turned back to the maid, a thought struck me, prompting me to ask if she knew whether Dean would join us for breakfast. The maid, with a gentle nod, informed me that she be

Blossom POV.Caleb, overwhelmed with sympathy for me, instinctively enveloped me in his embrace, and I found comfort in resting my cheek against his chest.I hadn't intended to unload all my worries onto Caleb like that. Sharing everything with him was never part of the master plan I had devised the night before, just before I finally managed to get some sleep. While I wasn't attracted to Caleb in the way I was to Dean, I valued what felt like a fraternal kind of affection from him. Caleb was someone I trusted deeply, someone who might even prove to be a crucial ally in my efforts to bridge the worrisome gap between Dean and me. I believed he possessed a wealth of insight that could potentially guide my path moving forward.Caleb held me close for several comforting seconds before finally releasing the hug and stepping back. As much as he enjoyed having me in his arms, he knew he'd have to suppress his feelings for me. This wasn't going to be an easy task, but it was undoubtedly impor
Alpha's Substitute Bride Chapter 31
Blossom POVJust as Caleb moved to pull me into another embrace, believing he'd glimpsed tears in my eyes, I gently pulled back. I wasn't entirely sure why I stopped him from embracing me again, but instead, I quietly thanked him for his comforting presence. Reaching up, I straightened the tie that had gone askew during our earlier hug and offered him a sweet, grateful smile. Caleb was a nice, handsome he-werewolf, I realized, even if I didn't feel any romantic attraction toward him. He might not possess the same charisma as Dean, but he had his own appeals, and I found myself wondering for the first time why Caleb hadn't yet chosen a mate.Meanwhile, I remained acutely aware of Dean's presence approaching from behind me. I could always sense his nearness, both through his distinct scent and some inexplicable connection in my mind. Despite knowing he was there, I refrained from turning around; I acted oblivious to his presence. I was still hurt by his behavior the prev

Dean POV.I hadn't endured such a sleepless night in years—certainly not since the days when my beloved Eliza had first been taken from me. Back then, I could hardly eat or sleep for days on end. I felt like a completely different person. Even when we finally found her, guilt and regret tore me apart. I should have protected Eliza, but I let her down. Now, I feel like I've been given a second chance with Blossom, and I can't afford to fail her too.I've always considered myself strong—stronger than most, in fact. It's been part of my identity as the alpha werewolf my entire life. Alongside my physical strength, I've prided myself on the emotional resilience I possess. That emotional strength has made me a better leader, something I strongly believe. Regardless of what I'm going through, I've never allowed my personal struggles to impact my leadership. Yet since Eliza's death, maintaining that balance has become increasingly difficult. Quincy has pointed out
Alpha's Substitute Bride Chapter 33
Blossom POV.I watch as Caleb pulls the glass door shut behind him. He remains so calm that I can't help but think he doesn't feel threatened by Dean. I wonder why Dean didn't come right after him; instead, he lingers in the room with me. I had assumed he would speak to his brother before approaching me, but instead, he's left him waiting.With Caleb gone, I sense a shift in the atmosphere, even if it's just slight. I turn to face Dean and am instantly reminded of how incredibly handsome he is. The moment my eyes land on him, my mind drifts back to last night. I felt so connected to him then; somehow, he made me feel confident, and I was surprisingly unafraid and unshy—things I had worried I might feel.As he approaches, I can feel his piercing gaze penetrating my skin, as if he's trying to read my soul. His ice-blue eyes have captivated me since the moment I first saw him a day ago, and nothing has changed. I still feel myself warming up as he draws closer.I can't let him or those m
