Sophia

Even the slightest doubts are removed when I see Layla standing in Mikhail's bedroom window.

Surprisingly, there is no ache in my heart.

Perhaps acceptance has a comfort in it; it makes the pain go away.

I have accepted my fate of always being unwanted and unloved.

Maybe that's why it doesn't hurt anymore.

I stare up at the window for a few more moments, watching Layla’s silhouette. She looks so confident, so sure of her place in Mikhail’s life.

The reality is sinking in, and with it comes a strange sense of peace. I am unwanted and unloved, and there is a certain clarity in knowing where I stand.

There’s no point in lingering, no point in hoping for something that will never be.

However, there is a part of me that wants to see where all this will take me. How much more do I have in me to endure?

I want to push myself to the point that I finally break.

I want to free myself from everything... every bond... even from myself.

Call me insane... but I will continue to be the mat

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 59

    AuroraI hop onto the bonnet of the car, the metal warm under my palms. The sun hits my face, so I lift an arm and let my hand block the light. Ryan stands a few feet away, looking like he belongs in this wild stretch of green even though he was raised in concrete and iron hallways."So, tell me about yourself." My voice sounds casual. "Is James a good father?"His smile appears instantly. Effortless. It lights up his whole face, softening the angles that usually make him look older than he is."The best," he says.The certainty in his tone hits me in a place I do not like to pay attention to. A small pang of jealousy nudges inside my chest, sharp and quick, because it says everything about his relationship with his father."A little strict," he adds. Then rolls his eyes at himself. "Okay. Not little. More than little strict. But still the best."He runs his hand through his hair, messing it up in a way that makes him look younger, almost boyish. Like the version of him that existed b

    AuroraThe moment we cross the gate, something in my chest loosens. Not completely, but still not feeling being suppressed.Ryan flicks a glance at me. Quick. Observant. Like he is checking to see if I am still holding myself together. He does not say anything, though. He keeps his eyes on the road, one hand lightly tapping the wheel in a pattern I cannot place. Maybe a habit. Maybe nerves. Maybe nothing at all.Soon we are on the main road that curves toward town. I recognize the line of old brick buildings in the distance, the faint glow of streetlights that always turn on earlier than necessary, or sometimes I wonder if they even turn them off at all, because the sun is high in the sky and there is no need for it. I expect him to keep going straight.He doesn’t.Ryan takes a turn without announcing it, the car rolling into a quieter side road instead of following the path toward the shops and people and noise. Trees hang low over the edges, their leaves brushing my window as we pa

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 57

    Aurora The next morning, when I open my door, Ryan is already there. He stands like he has been carved into that exact spot, but then something unexpected happens. He nods his head in greeting, and a small, polite smile lifts his mouth. It is quick, almost shy, but real enough to catch me off guard. People here do not smile. Especially the guards. They move like programmed bodies, trained to look through you rather than at you. They speak only if spoken to, and even then, their voices sound like someone erased emotion from their throats. But Ryan. He is different. So to test my theory, I smile back. I keep it soft so it does not look like I am challenging him, just acknowledging him as a person. "Good morning, Ryan." "Good morning, Miss Blake." His tone stays formal, yet there is a hint of genuine warmth in it. Let's see how long it takes for this warmth to vanish from his tone after he is working here. He positions himself half a step behind me as I walk toward the dining hall

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 56

    AuroraI always find solutions to problems. It is one of those things people say about me whenever they want to sound impressed. Like it is stitched into my DNA, something I inherited along with my eye color or the shape of my cheekbones. But this time I look at my hands resting uselessly on my lap and I do not even know how or where to start.The problem is simple. That is what makes it worse. I am trapped in my own room. Not with chains. Not with bars. Just rules that feel heavier than any lock. I am allowed to leave only for meals, which is beginning to make the hallway feel like a reward instead of a place I grew up walking through barefoot, leaving tiny sock prints behind on the marble.I sit up on the mattress and stare at the door. It is closed in the most normal way possible. Pine wood with a soft shine. The knob holds a faint coldness in winter that used to shock me awake during school mornings.Nothing about it looks threatening. Yet right now it feels like a reminder like I

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 55

    AuroraI pull my cardigan closer around my body, tucking the fabric in tight like I am trying to hold myself together from the outside in. The room feels colder than usual, even though the heater hums softly in the corner. Maybe it is the kind of cold that settles inside a person and then makes a home there.I stand by the window, the glass cool under my fingertips. The vines that used to creep along the frame and block half my view are gone. Cut clean. It almost looks like the way it was before, the way I used to like it. A strange reminder that even things that grow without permission can be erased if someone decides they should not be there.I press my forehead lightly against the glass. The chill seeps into my skin, and for a second it feels good, like it pushes back the warmth rising behind my eyes. My reflection stares back at me.I blink, and for a heartbeat I imagine him behind me, his reflection overlapping mine. Tall. Solid. Those quiet eyes that catch everything I try to hi

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 54

    LucasThe main lounge is too quiet when I step back inside. It is the type of quiet that feels shaped by people trying too hard to act normal. A fake kind of calm that sits on top of something nervous. I can feel everyone watching me before I actually meet their eyes. Their gazes catch on me the way people stare at a glass they expect to slip out of someone’s hand.They think I might break. Fall apart. Lose control. Shatter like something fragile.It almost makes me laugh. After everything I have survived, if they still think I can fall so easily, they really do not know me.My attention drifts across the room until it lands on Anastasia. She sits like she always does, a posture so sure of itself that it could intimidate half the world. Her chin is lifted slightly, her shoulders relaxed, her gaze cool. She looks unbothered. Almost bored.She is pretending, of course. But right now, she is the only person who is not staring at me like I am a ticking bomb.I walk toward her. My feet mov
