Karina lingered outside Ray’s office, her arms crossed as she waited for Arda.

Inside, Arda faced Ray, who was seated behind his desk, his eyes cold and unwelcoming.

“Good morning, sir,” she greeted, her voice steady despite his penetrating gaze.

Ray didn’t bother with formalities. “Let’s dispense with the pleasantries, Arda. Since this isn’t our scheduled thesis meeting, I assume you have something important to tell me. So, get to it.”

“The answer is no,” she said flatly.

His eyebrows arched. “What?”

“I said, the answer is no.”

Ray rose from his seat and walked slowly toward her, his expression darkening with each step.

“Is that your final answer?” he asked, his voice low and menacing.

“Yes.”

“Then prepare to fail—and lose your last scholarship payment.”

Arda met his gaze, unflinching. “I know what you are,” she said suddenly.

Ray froze, his composure faltering for the briefest moment. “What did you say?”

“I know what you are,” she repeated, her tone firm.

    "I am in school, remember?" Arda told him. "I know. I'm just confirming." "Okay." "Call me as soon as you're home." "Okay." "Enjoy your day. And let me know if your professor gives you any issues." "He did not." "I see. Okay. That is a good one. I will call you soon." "Okay." The call ended, and she looked at Karina. "That was not so bad," she commented. "I guess he would have been suspicious if you didn't take the call," Karina replied. "Yeah." Back in the car, Arda began questioning herself about the escape plan. Doubts crept in, especially since it seemed like all the Alphas were against Gillow. The only potential ally Gillow had, and it wasn’t confirmed, was the Alpha of the East. As the car swerved out of the school gates, Arda turned to Karina and Chester. "Are you sure we’re doing the right thing?" "What are your fears?" Chester asked, prompting Arda to reveal the source of her doubts. "You have nothing to worry about," Chester reassured her. "I’ll say the same,

    Following Karina’s haste, Arda was back inside the car where Chester sat waiting, tapping the steering wheel impatiently. “You guys took forever,” he muttered as they climbed in. He started the car but cast a glance their way. “And you both look like you’ve seen a ghost.” “Not a ghost,” Karina replied, her tone sharp. “A werewolf. Her professor, to be exact.” Chester’s head snapped toward her. “What? What pack is he from? And what happened?” Karina waved him off. “We’ll explain later. Please just get us out of here.” Chester frowned but said nothing, focusing on the road. The car sped down the winding path, sunlight filtering through the trees, casting eerie shadows across the dashboard. After a tense silence, he tried again. “Are you going to tell me now?” Arda exhaled, her voice tight. “Professor Ray has been asking me out. I refused. He didn’t take it well and started threatening my grades—and my scholarship.” Chester’s grip on the wheel tightened. “That’s messed up.” “It g

  • Born For The Alpha   38: Fleeing Fate, Facing Prophecy

    A hill loomed ahead on the lonely expressway that Chester was navigating. Karina informed Arda that Cain’s pack was just beyond the hill. Their journey was delayed when the car overheated, forcing Chester to pull over and fix it. While he worked, Karina and Arda waited at a distance, out of earshot. “So, how do you feel about Chester’s confession?” Arda asked, breaking the silence. “I assume you mean his feelings for me, not his betrayal,” Karina replied. “Yes,” Arda confirmed. “I’m still trying to process it,” Karina admitted. “Do you still love Jacob?” Karina gave her a sharp look of incredulity. “Why would you even ask me that?” Arda shrugged. “Sorry. I just thought, with the distance and Chester’s revelation, maybe your mind is... conflicted.” “I see. Well, how do you feel about Gillow Rain? Have you fallen in love with him?” Arda’s eyes widened with indignation. “How can you even think that?” Karina let out a soft chuckle, prompting Arda to sigh in exasperation. “That

  • Born For The Alpha   39- The Alpha's Promise

    Gillow’s athletic smooth skin split like the bark of a tree. Wiry silver hairs sprouted forth. His already wolf-turned piercing and intense crimson eyes seemed ruddier as his transformation progressed. His bones moved beneath his skin like mechanical vipers; audible cracks cut through the air as his limbs cracked, ripping his pants open. He fell to his knees and then forward on his contorting hands. On all fours, he proudly gave himself over to his darker nature. His flesh visibly moved, his tissues rearranging. His mouth spotted emerging fangs. His handsome face distorted as his jaw extended, with his skull changing shape and longer beastly hairs sprouting forth. His hands gnarled and his fingers curled back as claws burst out. As howls continued to fill the air from surrounding pack members, low guttural growls escaped him, his claws firm on the ground. He was no longer himself. He was a werewolf vampire in his beastly form. He was distinct from the pack, being the only one

    Gillow’s message had sent Arda’s heart racing, but she managed to steady herself. He can’t find me. I’m safe with Jacob. That thought was her anchor, though doubts lingered. Determined to shake off negativity, she focused on the events that had led to this moment. Earlier, Cain had introduced them to the pack and instructed some members to show them to their rooms. Arda was pleased to find her room positioned across from Chester’s, with Karina’s room beside hers. Later, Karina had visited her, clearly frustrated. “I can’t believe Jacob didn’t offer to show me around,” she complained. “We’ve just arrived,” Arda reasoned. “We all need to rest.” Karina had frowned. “Well, I don’t like how that girl was staring at him—and me.” “I noticed it too,” Arda admitted. “But I don’t think it’s important.” Karina crossed her arms. “I know a jealous lover’s look when I see one. I’ll ask Jacob about it when I see him.” “Can’t hurt to ask,” Arda had replied with a shrug. Now, as Arda sat alon

  • Born For The Alpha   41: Will You Have Me Back?

    “This pack has a goal,” Cain pronounced with authority. “To unite all the packs under a single Alpha. And within this unified pack, we will establish a monarchy, beginning with me. Then my son will take over. In this new era, humans will learn of our existence. We will rule over them. Our members are already everywhere. The only thing left is the unity of the packs and the elimination of your kind.” His eyes fell disdainfully on Karina. “The full prophecy must be found. The moon child and her sister must be eliminated. The complete prophecy is rumored to be with your pack. That’s why my son had to join that school and get close to you.”Karina sobbed softly, regret and brokenness in her every movement.“It’s nothing personal,” Jacob said, his tone cold. “You should’ve stayed loyal to your pack.”“My Alpha is cruel,” Karina cried out, frustration lacing her words. “You know that already.”“Not my problem,” Jacob responded flatly.Cain let out a mocking laugh. “You’ve lived long enough t

  • Born For The Alpha   42: For Love - The Alpha's Resolve

    Hours passed, leading into the night. The full moon had not lost its shape, round and glowing bright as it cast its brilliance onto the earth. Somewhere in the eastern region, mystic creatures—werewolves—wandered far into the surrounding forests in their hunt for food. Among the werewolves, distinct ones glowed, marking them as werewolf vampires. Together, they hunted down unfortunate animals, gathered them, and devoured the fresh meat as a pack. Soon after they were done, Gillow, the alpha of the pack, with a glowing form and intense ruby eyes, began to sniff the air. The others sensed that he was smelling something and emulated him, but he was already advancing further into the bush. The pack followed him, and soon they discovered a retreating werewolf. Gillow immediately led a pursuit, and a chase ensued as they advanced behind the escaping werewolf who spotted a light brown color. The alpha of the pursuing pack rapidly gained on the escaping werewolf. Heavy thuds pounded the e

  • Born For The Alpha   43: A Mate For Arda Gray

    The cornered spy, Jack, locked eyes with Raina—his renounced mate—his gaze intense. Gillow could sense that Jack was attempting to convey something. The Alpha listened closely, and within moments, he realized the message was telepathic. Jack was communicating with Raina. Jack: “Setting my betrayal aside, we both know you weren’t supposed to hunt tonight.” A confused expression crossed Raina’s face as she stared at him. Gillow, already alert, focused on listening to her response. Raina: “I changed my mind because you refused to tell me why you insisted I not join the pack for tonight’s hunt.” Jack: “That was for your safety. The least I can do now is keep you alive.” Raina’s disbelief was evident. “What are you talking about?” she asked, incredulous. Before Jack could respond, Gillow’s instincts kicked in. His sharp, ruddy eyes scanned the surrounding bushes. The air was thick with tension, and within seconds, he had Jack in his grip. But it wasn’t just Jack that concerned him. H

  • Born For The Alpha   76: A Lesson In Consequences

    Arda had stopped struggling by the time she was brought into the room. The fire of her protests had died, leaving only soft sniffling in its wake. Tears streamed down her flushed cheeks, her body trembling—not just from the alcohol wreaking havoc inside her but from something deeper, something raw.Gillow was already there, waiting. His sharp eyes took in the wrecked state she was in, and beneath the surface of his calm, his fury burned. Not at her—no, never at her—but at those who had let this happen. Yet he forced himself to swallow the rage. She needed care, not wrath.At his direction, they placed her gently onto the couch, close to the bed. The moment they stepped back, he moved forward, crouching beside her, his presence a solid force against her frailty.He carried the tea he had prepared. It wasn’t the best remedy, but it was something, and right now, something was better than nothing. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his warmth, his fingers brushing ag

  • Born For The Alpha   75: Tangled in Revenge

    Ignoring Arda's slurred curses, they lifted her into the car with little care for her protests. Her reluctance to return was irrelevant. What mattered was Gillow’s disapproval—a force far more terrifying than her drunken defiance.They secured her in the backseat, and the moment Chester and Karina took their places in the front, Arda lunged for the door handle. But Chester had anticipated this—he’d locked it. The soft click of her failed attempt was followed by a frustrated groan.With a smirk of defiance, she slumped back and declared, “I hate you both.” Then, inexplicably, she started to laugh—a drunken, eerie laughter that sent a chill up Karina’s spine.Neither Chester nor Karina responded. They simply exchanged glances, uneasy."Chester, what did you mean back there? That it’s just you?” Karina finally asked.“I, uh... kinda took the blame.”Karina whipped her head toward him. “What?”“You looked so happy, Karina. And you’ve been in so much trouble lately. I thought... maybe you

  • Born For The Alpha   74: Defiance

    Chester hesitated, his pulse hammering against his ribs. If the Alpha was calling in this tone, it could only mean one thing—Arda had lied.His gaze darted toward her. She was blissfully unaware of the storm brewing on the other end of the call. A drink in her hand, laughter spilling from her lips, she swayed to the music with Karina, completely lost in the moment. She had no idea what she had just set into motion."I'm listening," Gillow's voice was sharp, the restrained fury evident in every syllable.Chester swallowed hard. His mind raced, torn between protecting Arda and Karina or saving himself."Alpha, I... I—" His voice faltered. What was the right move here? Take the blame and hope to minimize the damage? But then his eyes flicked back to Karina—her face alight with rare joy. She had suffered enough in recent times. And Arda... that reckless little minx. What had she been thinking? Dragging them into this mess? But then he recalled the way she had pleaded earlier—her voice thi

    Arda watched the phone vibrate in her hand, Gillow’s name flashing across the screen. A small part of her knew she should answer, but she couldn't bring herself to. She let it ring.Karina and Chester noticed.“Who is it?” Karina asked from the passenger seat.“Alpha?” Chester added, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.Arda shrugged. “Yeah.”“Then why aren’t you answering?” Chester’s brows furrowed.“I’ll call him back when we get to the club,” she said, feigning nonchalance.Neither Karina nor Chester looked convinced, but they let it go. The car rolled smoothly through the city streets, neon lights reflecting against the windshield.Then Karina’s phone lit up.Gillow Rain.She turned in her seat, flashing the screen toward Arda. “It’s him. And I know it’s because you’re not picking up.”Arda’s stomach twisted. Her fingers clenched into the soft fabric of her dress. “Oh,” she said, forcing a casual tone. “I’ll call him back when we get there, I promise. Don’t answer.”Karina

    The mall was alive with movement—bright, noisy, filled with a sea of people weaving through aisles stacked with gleaming devices. Arda barely noticed the chatter, the hum of conversations blending with the distant sound of a child whining for a toy. She moved through the tech section, her fingers grazing the sleek surfaces of high-end phones as an attendant hovered nearby, ready to assist. Chester and Karina flanked her, their watchful eyes darting around, wary of external threats. Finally, she chose. A phone with a crisp camera, vast memory, and a lightning-fast processor. It was perfect—not just for its features, but for what it represented. A semblance of independence. Control. The purchase was made. The device, hers. And with it, a shift in the air. Outside, the sky had deepened to a dusky blue, streaked with the dying embers of sunlight. The city hummed with its usual rhythm—car horns blaring in irritation, the distant wail of a siren, vendors calling out their last

  • Born For The Alpha   71: His Mark, Her Defiance

    Arda woke up to the cold absence of Gillow. The bed felt too large without him, the sheets still carrying the ghost of his warmth. The memory of last night burned in her skin—his hands, his lips, the way he had worshiped and restrained himself in equal measure. He had left her breathless, aching, and unfulfilled.She sat up, scanning the room, her heart sinking. Was he still here?Slipping out of bed, she padded barefoot toward the door and pulled it open. The guard stationed outside straightened at her sudden appearance."Where is he?" she asked, her voice softer than she intended."The Alpha left before dawn, along with his chosen pack members," the guard reported.Arda swallowed the bitter disappointment that curled inside her. He hadn’t even said goodbye?But before the frustration could settle, the guard reached into his pocket. "This is for you, from the Alpha."A note.Relief washed over her, though she barely kept it from showing. She took the folded paper from his outstretche

  • Born For The Alpha   70: Tempted, but Taken

    Arda lay on the bed, her body still humming from Gillow’s touch. The sheets felt cool against her overheated skin, but nothing could calm the ache inside her. The place where his lips had been—where his hands had traced—still burned. But he was gone now.His whispered words echoed in her ears. “I cannot trust myself to keep my hands off you tonight. Trust me, it’s better for you and I.” She had nodded, understanding. Now, in the quiet, her fingers clenched the sheets. She hated how empty the bed felt without him. She hated how her body still craved his warmth, his weight pressing into her. She curled into herself, trying to push away the frustration, the confusion. Eventually, sleep claimed her. --- In his own room, Gillow stood under an icy shower, his fists braced against the cold tile. The water wasn’t enough to cool the fire raging inside him. His mate. His Arda. She had finally surrendered. Finally spoken the words he had longed to hear. "Yes, Alpha." A low growl rumble

  • Born For The Alpha   69: Awakened to Him

    Arda’s breath hitched as Gillow’s countdown continued, his voice a dark promise of both pleasure and discipline. "...three...four..." Her fingers twitched against her skin, every muscle in her body screaming to move, to clutch onto him, to anchor herself against the storm he was unraveling inside her. At thesame time, she wanted to protect herself from his sight because she was shy and self conscious at that moment. But then he had threatened to punish her and she didn't want to test him. Arda let out a shaky breath, forcing herself to obey as she let her hands fall to her sides. "Five." Said Gillow, his eyes narrowing at her. Her breath caught in her throat. "Too late." He said. "Turn over. I'm going to spank you for wasting time." "No, please." Her voice was soft. "I took my hands off." She caught a small smile on his face and knew he was now teasing her. Gillow’s approval was instant, a slow, satisfied smile curving his lips. “I know, Mate. I'm just playing with you. Y

  • Born For The Alpha   68: Surrender

    When she relaxed around him, Gillow accepted her surrender. He celebrated it with kiss of thanksgiving, his lips claiming hers gently. "That's it, mate." He murmured encouragingly, his voice coaxing, comforting, oddly commanding even in a sensual state. It further raised her new found desire to completely give in, to trust him without reservations. Arda’s breath came in shallow waves as Gillow’s lips moved against hers, slow and unhurried, as if he had all the time in the world to explore her. His hands, warm and firm, skimmed down her sides, memorizing every curve, every delicate tremor that ran through her body. His weight was a comforting presence above her, not trapping but anchoring her in a way that made her feel safe. She had never known touch like this—gentle, reverent, yet laced with a hunger that sent shivers cascading through her skin. “Relax, mate,” he whispered against her lips, his voice deep, coaxing again. “Let me show you what it means to be mine.” A part of her
