Sophia

I stare at Mikhail, his words hanging in the air between us. His gaze is unwavering, filled with a resolve that makes my heart race for all the wrong reasons.

I try to keep my face from betraying the chaos inside me, but it’s a losing battle.

Why is he doing this?

But the important question is, why am I being affected?

All these years of hate, and he comes back into my life, and again, my heart starts to betray me?

I want to be furious. I want to rip into him, to tell him exactly how much I despise him for what he’s done, for the pain he caused me, for abandoning me when I needed him the most. But standing here now, with him looking at me like that—like I’m the only thing in the world that matters—it’s hard to hold onto that anger. It’s hard to keep my walls up.

I clench my fists, nails biting into my palms, the pain a welcome distraction from the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside me.

“You don’t get to just waltz back into my life and say things like that,” I finally manage

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 105

    LucasNight settles over the estate the way it always does here, quiet but never relaxed. The kind of quiet that listens back. Aurora is asleep by the time I move, her breathing slow and even, her body curled toward the space I occupy like she expects me to stay there forever. I pause beside the bed longer than necessary, watching the small rise of her shoulder, the faint crease between her brows finally gone. She looks younger when she sleeps. Softer. Less guarded.I tuck the blanket around her again even though she does not need it. My wolf insists. I listen.Then I slip out.The house barely reacts to my movement. No creak. No echo. Whoever designed this place knew how to keep secrets. The hallway lights stay dim, sensing motion but not announcing it. I take the route I already mapped in my head hours ago, avoiding the cameras I noted by reflection and hum alone. People think technology is silent. It never is.The door opens without complaint. Cool air meets my face and carries wit

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 104

    Lucas“I can’t believe I am sharing my daily life with you.”Aurora’s eyes shine when she says it. Not the polite shine people put on when they want approval. This is the kind that spills out before she can stop it. She is sitting close enough that I can feel the warmth of her arm through fabric, close enough that her excitement hums against my ribs.“It’s boring and mundane,” she adds quickly, like she is apologizing for herself.She talks with her hands when she gets like this. Fingers moving, pausing, curling back toward her palms. I notice how she watches my face while she speaks, checking for disappointment that never comes.“There’s so much you do back at your place,” she continues. “Everyone has something going on. Everyone matters in some way. And here my life is just…” She gestures vaguely behind her, toward the estate. “Contained. I do nothing. I wake up, I exist, I go to sleep.”A small frown appears, barely there, like she does not want to admit it out loud. She presses he

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 103

    LucasThis is the strangest breakfast of my life.Not because of the food. The food looks perfect. Too perfect. Everything placed with care, portions exact, plates aligned like someone measured the distance between them. No crumbs. No clatter. No one reaches across the table without asking. Even the sound of cutlery feels muted, like the room itself is listening.It feels cold. Not temperature cold. Something else. Emotional. Like breakfast here is another task on a checklist. Wake up. Dress well. Sit where you are told. Eat. Speak only when appropriate.I take one glance around the table and understand the structure instantly. No one sits randomly. Seats mean something. There is hierarchy in the sitting arrangement. But this hierarchy is nothing like the one we have in the pack. In my pack, meals are chaos in the best way.Someone is always stealing food off someone else’s plate. Someone complains about seasoning. Someone tells a story halfway through chewing and everyone yells at

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 102

    LucasI watch Aurora for a long moment after her breathing falls into that deep, even rhythm that tells me she is really asleep. Not the kind where she might wake if the mattress shifts or the air changes. This is the kind where her body finally lets go.Her lashes rest against her cheeks, casting faint shadows. Her lips part slightly, just enough to soften her whole face. She looks younger like this.I move slowly. Everything about me slows when I peel myself away from her. I ease my arm out from beneath her head, inch by inch, replacing the space with the pillow so she does not feel the loss. She stirs once, a quiet sound leaving her throat, and I freeze. My eyes stay on her face until her breathing smooths again.Only then do I stand.I pull the blanket higher, tucking it around her shoulders, smoothing the fabric like my hands know exactly where to go. My wolf insists on it, a low push in my chest that says warmth matters, safety matters. I listen.I start looking around, letting

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 101

    LucasAurora exhales sharply through her nose. I feel it before I hear it, the way anger moves through her like a flare, fast and hot. The bond carries it straight to me. No filter. No softening. Just raw feeling pressing against my ribs. She does not look at me. Her gaze stays on the wreck of her room like she is recording damage inside her own head.There is one thing I cannot fault this place for. Efficiency. Arthur gives an order and the house responds like a single organism. People move in and out without noise, without questions. Drawers are lifted, clothes folded, hangers aligned. In less than twenty minutes, the room resets itself. When the last person leaves, the door clicks shut and the silence settles. It is just me and Aurora now.I was not planning on staying here. But after what happened today, there is no way I am leaving Aurora alone. I don't trust anyone, not even Arthur. No one gets the benefit of my trust. Not guards. Not family. Not allies who stand too easily in

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 100

    LucasArthur goes into war mode without letting any of the outrage seeping outside him.He stands in the middle of the corridor outside Aurora’s room, posture composed, hands clasped behind his back, expression unreadable to anyone. I know better. The calm is tight. Contained. His anger does not flare outward. It folds inward, sharp and focused, the kind that cuts clean.“Somebody was inside the house,” he says, voice level, eyes fixed on the guards lined up in front of him. “Inside Aurora’s room. And none of you were aware of it.”The guards stand straighter. One of them swallows. Another shifts his weight just a fraction, enough for me to clock nervous energy. Arthur sees it too. He sees everything right now.“Sir,” one of them says, choosing his words carefully, “nobody entered the private part of the house. As per your orders, all guests were contained in the main area.”Arthur turns slowly and points toward the open door behind us. The mess inside Aurora’s room is still visible.
