Sophia

The last thing I remember is finishing the preparation for dinner, making sure everything was perfect for Mikhail’s return. The effort had taken its toll on me, but I wanted to surprise him.

I don't have much to offer him, so I want to do whatever I can to make him feel special.

I hope he likes the dinner.

Afterward, I stepped outside to get some fresh air and clear my head.

I must have fainted.

The lack of food and exhaustion from the last night's events must have caught up with me, causing me to faint.

Before I can fully gather my thoughts, I hear a deep voice, and the scent that accompanies it is unmistakable.

Mikhail.

I can feel he is talking to someone else, but after a moment, I feel his hand lightly touching my body, and a low growl emits from him.

Fighting the remains of unconsciousness, I open my eyes.

My eyes instantly connect with Mikhail's, and it seems like they are looking through me instead of at me.

His face is so close to mine, and his hands run across my body

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 27

    AuroraThis cannot be my imagination or some random coincidence. My instincts are never wrong, and right now they are screaming that something unusual is happening.But how could Lucas possibly hear me?I bite my lower lip, pretending to stare blankly ahead while my eyes stay fixed on him through the café window. He sits there, calm and composed, sipping his coffee as if the world is at peace. His gaze stays lowered, his movements measured. But I know what calm looks like, and I know what pretending looks like too.And Lucas… he is pretending.“Lucas,” I whisper, my voice barely a breath, my lips moving so slightly that it feels like I am speaking only to my own reflection in the glass. “You can hear me, right?”He doesn’t move. Doesn’t look up. The idiot bacon sits perfectly still, pretending nothing happened. But I see it, the faint tick in his jaw, the quick twitch of his lips, the kind that only shows when someone is holding something in.Got you, honey buns.A slow grin creeps on

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 26

    AuroraI slip my favorite book into my bag, the one with the worn corners and the coffee stain that never quite faded. A few sticks of gum and Anastasia’s phone follow, before I slide the zipper closed. My sandals tap softly against the marble as I walk toward the door, my reflection flickering across the glass cabinets on the way out.For a few moments of the day, I can pretend to be free. In these stolen breaths of time, I can be myself, no pretenses, no perfection to maintain. But lately, even that is changing... changing in a good way, not in a burdening and suffocating way. Ever since Lucas came into my life, the thought of disappointing him has begun to crawl beneath my skin. I used to think I didn’t care what anyone thought. Now, his approval feels like the one thing that matters most in the world.The moment I step into the corridor, I hear it, the familiar rhythm of heavy footsteps trailing just behind mine. The guard. Always there. Always watching.I do not look back. I have

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 25

    AuroraThe medicine makes everything feel slow, soft, and heavy. Like the world is moving through water. The ceiling light blurs into a halo as I blink, my eyelids too heavy to keep open for long. I remember doctor already waiting for me in the room when I was brought back, James must had called him. My arm stings under the dressing, but it’s dulled, distant.I should feel uneasy. Someone is here.I can sense it, the faint shuffle of movement, the sound of air shifting near the window. My instincts should flare, but they don’t. Instead, warmth seeps through the haze, an invisible cocoon wrapping around me. It’s strange, this calm. Strange, but not unfamiliar.Because I’ve felt this before, this safety that doesn’t need to be seen to be real.My mind drifts in and out of sleep, tangled between what’s real and what’s not. I think I hear a whisper, a breath close enough to stir the air beside my face. A touch... not real, maybe imagined, brushes against my hair like someone is brushing

    AuroraExactly as the clock strikes eight, everyone is seated at the breakfast table. Punctuality here is not a virtue, it is a law. The faint chime of the grandfather clock echoes through the garden, signaling the beginning of another perfectly orchestrated performance.The table stretches long and gleaming beneath the sunlight, surrounded by manicured hedges and faces polished to perfection. Here, even the seating arrangement speaks of power. Nothing is random; every chair represents rank, lineage, and influence. The largest table, of course, belongs to the Blakes and a few others who are considered significant enough to share this privilege.Many people would kill to sit here, to be part of this carefully guarded circle.But I would give anything not to be.Unfortunately, my place is secured by blood. The one thing you can’t escape. The one thing that binds tighter than chains. I hold a position many envy, even within the family. Especially within the family.Dad sits at the head

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 23

    AuroraI wake up earlier than usual, the faint light of dawn barely cutting through the curtains. My room is quiet, too quiet, but inside my mind, thoughts are already racing. Today isn’t just another morning. It’s one of those mornings. The kind where perfection isn’t just expected... it’s required.My feet touch the cold marble floor, and I take a slow breath before moving toward the vanity. Every movement feels deliberate, measured. Because here, one small mistake isn’t just noticed... it’s counted, recorded, remembered.This house doesn’t forgive flaws.Our rules are simple, and brutal. Breakfast is at eight. If you’re one minute late, you don’t eat. If you miss it without reason, you face silence, the kind that feels heavier than any punishment. It’s the same for lunch. The same for dinner.But the worst part isn’t the rules. It’s sitting with them three times a day. My family.I start getting read

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 22

    AuroraEven though I could talk to him forever, we both begrudgingly hang up. The second the call ends, the silence feels too loud , like it’s mocking me. The room is the same, but it isn’t. The air still hums with him, the echo of his laugh, the way his voice dipped when he said my name.And just like that, I start missing him. Instantly.It’s ridiculous. I just heard him. I can still hear him. The memory of his tone hasn’t even faded yet, and still... it’s not enough. It’s never enough.I sit on the edge of my bed, staring at the phone like it’s a forbidden relic. Because it is.That’s when the trance starts to break, the Lucas haze that somehow makes the rest of the world blur out. And when reality seeps back in, it brings the weight I’d pushed aside.There’s a problem.A huge one.The kind that doesn’t just vanish if I ignore it long enough. The kind that could ruin everything.The kind that looks exactly like the phone in my hand.This little, innocent-looking thing... black,
