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 73

    AuroraThe way I have felt drawn to Lucas all this time runs through my mind like a quiet rewind. Not physical, not the easy kind anyone can explain with a look or a touch. It is something deeper, something that has been working in the background of every moment we have shared. I think about the way my chest loosens when he enters a room. The way the tension leaves my shoulders without me even noticing. The way my mind goes strangely quiet around him, like all the constant noise of my thoughts steps back for a second to make room just for him. Trust has always come easier with him, too. Too easy. Like my heart recognized his before my brain ever caught on.Now it makes a strange, perfect sense.Was all of that because I am his mate?Is this the reason why he is with me? Not because he chose me freely, but because something unseen tied us together long before I had a choice in it, long before he probably did either?“You already knew it, didn’t you?” I ask, my eyes locked onto his face

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 72

    Aurora“Dad, I never knew mom was British.”The words come out of my mouth in an almost curious tone, like I am pointing out a fun fact I just learned, but my forehead wrinkles right after. That is not even what I had ever truly thought. I never thought of her as British or American or anything. I never thought of her much at all because I never had the chance to. She has always been a blur, an idea, a soft outline that never quite fills in.“What?” Dad looks at me, eyebrows lifting as amusement curls at the corners of his mouth. “She wasn’t British.”The way he says it is light, like it is obvious. Like I should have known.“But you said you were her mate,” I reply. The word feels small and simple to me, something that belongs in the same category as friend, partner, best person. “It means you guys were friends.” I can’t help the smile that forms. There is something oddly sweet in thinking about the way he still talks about her. He still calls her his friend. It makes me feel like I

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 71

    AuroraI move from one picture frame to the next, my fingers almost trembling as they hover near the glass. Every frame holds a different version of me, but all of them are unmistakably mine. Younger. Softer. Smiling. Serious. Lost in thought. Even the face I see in the mirror every day stares back at me from one of the photos.My heart begins to race as my eyes move from picture to picture. Each one feels like a small punch to my memory.There I am on my seventh birthday, cheeks round, frosting on the corner of my mouth. I remember that cake. Chocolate with too much cream. Another frame shows me standing in front of my school gates on my first day, backpack too big for my small shoulders. I remember how nervous I was... I remember twisting the ends of my hair around my finger while I watched other parents crouch to hug their kids goodbye.Another frame. I am older. A little taller. My smile is more confident, but it is still careful, like I do not fully trust the happiness on my face

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 70

    AuroraA shock runs through me, sharp and fast, but my face barely shifts. I have trained myself for this. Years of smoothing over the wild parts of me with a calm expression, a neutral mask, a version of myself that people can look at without flinching. But this time, the control is not just mine. It has everything to do with Lucas standing behind me. I can feel his presence the way you feel heat from the sun through a window, even without turning around.“What do you mean?” I ask, and I am impressed by how normal my voice sounds. Barely a ripple. If someone was listening from another table, they would think we are talking about the weather. Or the menu.James does not answer right away. His eyes slide around the restaurant, quick and careful, taking in faces, exits, the spaces between tables. He looks like he is memorizing everything, like he always does. Finally, his gaze returns to me.“I have come here because you called me,” he says. His voice is low, but not tense. More like he

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 69

    AuroraLucas is sitting behind the wheel with his eyes fixed straight ahead as we drive to meet James. The road passes in blurred streaks, trees and signs smearing together like my thoughts. There is too much happening in my head for me to settle on one thing. Memories bump into questions. Fear presses up against hope. It all feels like a tangled knot that I cannot separate, only hold.I keep glancing at his profile, the way his jaw tightens and relaxes, the tiny muscle in his cheek that flickers every time he blinks. He looks calm, but I know him well enough to see what hides underneath. His hands grip the wheel, not hard, just enough to show he is holding onto something. Maybe that something is me.I stare out the window again. I know whatever I find out today will change everything. I can feel it in my chest, in the slow pull of each breath. My entire life feels like it is standing on a thin line, waiting for the next step. I do not know if I am ready to hear the truth, or if I wil

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 68

    AuroraI sit on the edge of the bed, knees pressed together, staring at the same knot in the wooden floorboard I have been staring at for hours. Its grain twists like it’s mocking me, like it knows something I do not. My fingers curl around the blanket, twisting it in little loops, tugging it just enough to hear the faint rip of fibers but never hard enough to break them. The blanket smells faintly of detergent and Lucas.It is something for my hands to do while the rest of me sits here, trying to understand myself.I do not know how to feel. I do not know how to react. My own emotions feel like strangers sitting in my chest. Half of them do not even feel like mine anymore. It is like someone else is tugging at invisible strings attached to me. Someone else is pressing feelings into me that do not belong to me.I never used to doubt myself like this. But now every thought I have is followed by a question mark. Did I feel this, or did someone make me feel it? Am I scared or did someone
