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 119

    AuroraA hiss slips out of me before I can swallow it back. The sound feels small in the room, but my side burns where something cold presses against the wound. It is a sharp, stinging cold that turns into heat a second later. My fingers curl into the thin bedding beneath me. The fabric is rough and smells like soap that tried to cover up age.If the cut were shallow, it would already start closing. I know my body. I know its rhythm. The fact that the pain still sits there, wide and raw, tells me enough.I squeeze my eyes shut. A groan pushes past my teeth. My breath comes out uneven. When I finally force my eyes open, the world swims for a second before it settles into shape.James is crouched beside me.His hands move with care as he cleans the blood from my side. A cloth. A bottle. Bandage. Simple things. His touch is careful, almost gentle. Anyone walking in would think he is tending to family after an accident. The thought almost makes me laugh, but it stays trapped in my chest.

    AuroraMy side hurts in a way that feels deep and hot, like the pain has teeth and keeps biting every time I breathe. Each inhale pulls it wider. Each exhale reminds me it is still there. But even with that, even with my own blood soaking into my shirt, the image stuck in my head is Lucas.Lucas hitting silver.The smell hits me again even though it already happened. Burned skin. Sharp and metallic. It crawls into my nose and sits there. My stomach twists. My wolf whines somewhere inside me, soft and broken, like a sound wrapped in fur. She felt it too. I know she did. The bond does not need words. It just knows.For a second it truly feels like it is my back against that silver, my skin sizzling, my body jerking from the shock. My fingers twitch with the memory of it. Pain shared is strange. It does not cut in the same place, but it lands just as hard.James shifts me higher on his shoulder and his shoulder presses straight into my wound. My vision flashes white. I bite the inside of

    LucasMy eyes keep moving, catching fragments. A shadow shifts where it should not. A space feels wrong before I fully see it.The cell door is open.Anastasia is gone.Ryan turns just as she reaches him. She moves through the narrow light with sharp speed, her boot slamming straight into his chest. The impact knocks the air out of him. He stumbles back, boots scraping hard against the floor, arms jerking as he fights for balance.“I never liked you, boy.” Her mouth curves as she wipes blood from her lip with the back of her hand. “So, I gonna do worst with you than what I did with your two dummy eye mother.”Her voice cuts clean and cruel. She wants him angry. I can see it in the way she watches his hands, his shoulders, the rise of his chest. She is pushing him, testing how close he is to snapping.Now that she stands outside the cell, the light shows everything. Bruises spread across her ribs, dark and deep. One shoulder sits wrong. Her shirt is torn and stained, clinging to her sk

    LucasWhat happens next barely exists as time. It is there and gone, like light cutting across my eyes so fast my brain lags behind it.James moves.The next second his hand turn into a claw.Arthur jerks, breath ripping out of him as James’s arm drives forward. I register the sound before I register the wound, a wet, awful noise that is impossible to forget.face not as fear but as disbelief. Like he never truly imagined this ending with a blade in his body.Aurora moves before I do.Her hand tears free from my grip, skin scraping skin, and she shoves Arthur hard to the side. I hear his boots slide across stone. The timing is cruel and perfect at the same time. James’s claws miss Arthur by inches and sink into Aurora instead.She gasps, a sharp sound that punches straight through my chest.Blood blooms fast against her side, dark and spreading, and for a split second my mind refuses to accept it. Aurora is supposed to be untouched... unhurt. She is the one constant my thoughts always

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 115

    LucasArthur is the missing block from the puzzle. I feel it in the way my mind fits pieces together when the picture finally makes sense. Not a big dramatic moment, not a flash of lightning, just that quiet click in the back of my skull where everything rearranges itself and suddenly I can see the shape of the whole thing.I watch him in the same way I watch everything else. His posture. The way he stands with the calm confidence of a man who believes he has already won. The way his eyes do not widen at all when he sees Anastasia.The person working with Anastasia to take down the rebels is no one else but Arthur himself.It was his name that Anastasia refused to give because there was a pact between them.I think about the day he came to pick Aurora up at our pack. The way he looked at Anastasia like she was just another person in the room. No surprise. No recognition. No hesitation. A man who does not react because he already knows.And now I understand why.Arthur is the head of t

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 114

    LucasMy eyes stay on Anastasia.Not her hands. Not the chain. Her eyes.People forget how loud eyes are. They think silence lives in mouths, but it doesn’t. It lives in what people do when they think no one is watching. Anastasia’s gaze flicks left. Then right. Then back again. Small movement. Almost lazy. Something you’d miss if you don't know what to look for.That pattern lands in my head and clicks into place like it’s always been there.A signal.She doesn't want Helena or Ryan to know that she is our family.My hand moves before Aurora’s voice does. I catch her fingers mid-motion and hold them. No squeeze. No warning. Just contact. Stop. Her breath stutters through the bond, sharp and bright, like touching cold metal by accident. Shock, yes. Confusion too. But she doesn’t pull away. She never does. She trusts that if I stop her, it’s because something matters more than words right now.I feel her mind shift. Questioning turns into listening. She’s smart like that.I don’t look
