2020-10-30 17:21:26Arda’s heart pounded as Luke’s words cut through her. “What did I do?” she asked, her voice trembling.
“This only happens with you,” Luke said coldly, his tone sharp enough to wound.
She stared at him, confused. “What are you talking about?”
He stepped closer. “Don’t play dumb. The kiss. The headaches. It only happens when I’m with you.”
Her lips parted in disbelief. “So, what are you saying?”
Luke’s eyes darkened. “You tell me. Or should I just say it? Witch.”
The word slammed into her, knocking the breath out of her lungs. Tears welled up. “I’m not a witch, Luke,” she whispered.
“Then what are you?” His voice was ice. “A monster with a pretty face? Because that’s what I came here to find out.”
The accusation broke her. “I’m not a monster!” she sobbed.
Luke didn’t flinch. “I’m done wasting time waiting on you. You should’ve told me what you are.”
“Luke, please.” She stepped closer, but he recoiled.
“Stay away.” His face twisted. “God, are you cursed?”
“I like you, Luke. Please, don’t do this.”
Her words were desperate, but he was unmoved.
“I don’t need a doctor!” he snapped.
Before she could process his rejection, he turned to his car.
“Sonia, get over here.”
Arda’s heart sank as a girl from her school stepped out, her heels clicking against the pavement. She watched in horror as Luke cupped Sonia’s face and kissed her deeply.
The kiss burned into her vision—mocking, final. Behind her, the door creaked open. Her friends had come outside. But it was too late.
Luke broke the kiss and looked at Arda. “Stay away from me. We’re done.”
“Luke, please! I love you!”
His gaze flickered, almost uncertain. But then it hardened. He took Sonia’s hand and turned away.
Jacob’s voice broke the tension. “Wait a minute! You’re not leaving until you explain this.”
Luke turned back, arms crossed. “Ask her. Or should I prove it again?”
Arda shook her head, refusing to endure more humiliation.
Luke sneered. “That’s what I thought.” He faced Jacob and Karina. “Your friend’s got issues. Better to end this now than later.”
With those words, he left.
Arda couldn’t hold back any longer. She turned and ran inside.
Jacob and Karina followed her, their steps heavy with sympathy.
“This is painful,” Karina muttered.
“Yeah, but we agreed to let her live like a normal girl,” Jacob replied.
Karina hesitated. “Maybe that was a mistake. She has a mate, Jacob.”
“We couldn’t have stopped her without raising suspicions.”
They reached her door and knocked softly.
“Go away,” Arda’s voice broke through the wood.
Ignoring her protest, they entered.
Arda was sitting on the bed, tears streaking her face. “I told you to stay away.”
They sat on either side of her, silent but present.
“I don’t ask for much,” she began, her voice raw. “I never dreamed of some rich, powerful guy—just someone I’d feel safe with.”
Karina reached for her hand as Arda continued.
“Luke was perfect. I thought I’d found love.”
“What happened?” Karina asked gently.
Arda recounted the headaches and the humiliation. “Then he kissed her, and nothing happened. I feel cursed.”
“You’re not cursed,” Jacob said firmly.
But Arda wasn’t convinced. “First the mark, then the necklace and note, and now this? I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
“We’ll figure this out,” Karina promised.
Jacob added, “You’re not alone.”
Arda wiped her tears and tried to smile.
“He called me a monster.”
Jacob cracked a joke to lighten the mood. “A monster with a pretty face?”
Arda let out a soft laugh, but it faded quickly.
“I need to go home. I need a break.”
“That’s fine,” Karina said. “Call us anytime.”
“Thanks, guys.”
Once alone, Arda sat at her desk, staring at the note and necklace. She touched the pendant, and flashes of the stranger at the restaurant invaded her mind.
Shaken, she dropped it. But curiosity pushed her to pick it up again. The stranger’s face lingered.
Pushing away the thoughts, she booted her laptop and started searching.
Her fingers typed: Alpha.
Images of wolves and mysterious men flooded the screen. She refined the search: Human-wolf.
The results deepened her unease. Words like shapeshifter and werewolf popped up.
She leaned back, muttering, “Damn joke.”
Her phone rang, cutting through her thoughts. A private number.
She answered hesitantly. “Hello?”
A voice—deep, distinct, and enthralling—greeted her.
“Hello, Arda.”
Her breath caught. “Who is this?”
“I’m sorry about your broken heart.”
Her blood turned cold. “Who are you? How do you know—”
The man’s tone darkened. “Did you like the gift?”
Her heart pounded harder. “Who the hell are you?”
“It won’t be long before I come for you.”
Her throat tightened.
“Wait patiently. And don’t accept another man. I won’t tolerate it.”
The line went dead.
Arda sat frozen, the phone trembling in her hand. She wasn’t imagining things anymore.
The Alpha—whoever he was—was real.

Arda’s fingers trembled as she set her phone down, her mind still echoing the message. Before she could process it, her phone buzzed again. Her sister. She swallowed, steadying her breath, and answered. “Hey, Mabel.” “You’re not my sister.” The words were sharp, deliberate. “What?” “You heard me. You’re not my sister, and it’s time you knew the truth.” “Mabel, stop messing around. What are you talking about?” “Ask my dad. Ask my mum.” Mabel’s voice had never sounded so cold. She emphasized my like a knife twisting into Arda’s gut. The line clicked dead. For a moment, Arda sat frozen. Mabel wasn’t known for jokes—least of all something like this. She redialed, but the call rang out. Again. And again. Heart pounding, she called her father. He answered immediately. “My dear, you’re still up? Studying?” Her voice came out tighter than she intended. “Dad, I need to know—where’s Mabel?” “She’s here. What’s wrong?” Arda pushed past her hesitation. “She said something awful to

Arthur marched past the game he had hunted, his steps quickening as the baby’s cries grew louder. The eerie sound pierced the stillness of the forest, urging him forward. His pulse raced with uncertainty, and before he realized it, he had broken into a run. Leaping over fallen branches and dodging low-hanging limbs, he pressed on until he reached a hill, its height nearly twice his own. The cries echoed from the other side. Who would leave a child out here? Could the baby truly be alone? Arthur ducked behind a tree, scanning the area. The full moon cast just enough light for him to make out the terrain. No movement. No sign of anyone else. Cautiously, he moved around the hill—and froze. A newborn baby girl lay cradled in the lap of a dying woman. The mother, no older than himself, sat slumped against the hill. Sweat drenched her pale face, and blood stained her clothes and the ground beneath her. Her chest barely rose and fell, her breaths shallow. A small knife, slick with blood

Gillow traced the rough lines of the ancient illustration, his fingers brushing over the delicate features of the girl drawn in ink. Her image seemed to breathe life, even on the brittle parchment. The word Moonchild was scrawled beneath it in faded, ornate script. She was beautiful. Too beautiful. Her innocence bled through the sketch—pure, untouched, and completely unguarded. She would look perfect beside him in the castle, in his arms, in his bed. But for now, she was exposed, walking in the open without a clue about the danger closing in around her. His jaw tightened as he recalled the boy who she developed a relationship with and her at the restaurant. A growl rumbled low in his throat. It had taken all his restraint not to storm in and tear the boy apart. Gillow’s sharp gaze shifted to the Elder, the long-bearded man standing silently before him. “How much longer must I wait?” The Elder adjusted his grip on his staff. “She is close to graduating. Let her finish school first.

Arda’s mind raced as the stranger’s voice resonated in her ears. Where had she heard that deep, cultured yet rough voice before? She wondered, her pulse quickening. “I almost had it before you… you stole it.” Her words were sharp, but her voice faltered slightly. Gillow barely registered her accusation. He was too preoccupied with how her beauty unsettled him. The fact that she had no idea who he truly was—who they were to each other—made it even more frustrating. Their meeting tonight was a twist of fate, but it left him marveling at how their lives were entwined. And yet, she didn’t even realize she stood before her mate. Her Alpha. A small, knowing smile crept onto his lips as his gaze traveled slowly over her form. The day he claimed her, her cries of pleasure would echo in his ears. He had no doubt. Arda shivered under his intense gaze, feeling as though he had stripped her bare without even touching her. Her cheeks burned, and she struggled to maintain her composure. Damn,

Gillow's eyes lifted to the moon, cold and unblinking, before returning to the lifeless pig before him. His thumb and forefinger circled his lips, and a sharp whistle cut through the still night air. Seconds passed, and the surrounding bushes rustled, signaling the arrival of the hunters. From the shadows emerged a group of about ten — both men and women, towering and muscular, their movements synchronized like wolves on the prowl. At the front of the pack was Karina, her presence commanding but cautious. She stepped forward, bowing her head in respect, though the weight of the moment hung heavily in the air. Gillow's voice, like ice, sliced through the silence. “You did not tell me about her blood.” Karina flinched. “We thought that—” “We?” Gillow's interruption was immediate, his tone sharp. Karina’s heart hammered in her chest. A secret, one that could unravel everything, weighed heavily on her. She knew Gillow, the Alpha, would never tolerate betrayal—especially not involvin

By Sunday evening, Arda was back in her off-campus home. The house was eerily quiet. Karina’s phone was still switched off, but Jacob had texted earlier to say he was on his way back from a party. After showering, Arda settled on the living room sofa with a pillow, letting the smooth tones of jazz music from the television soothe her nerves. Her eyelids grew heavy, and before long, she drifted off to sleep. The sound of the front door unlocking jolted her awake. Her heart jumped, but relief washed over her when Jacob stepped inside. She got up quickly and hugged him. “Welcome back.” “Thanks,” he said, flashing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Hope you’ve forgiven us?” “Sure.” She stepped back, studying his face. “Where’s Karina? I’ve been trying to reach her, but her phone’s off.” Jacob’s smile faltered. “Uh… I think she’s fine. Don’t worry.” Arda frowned. Jacob looked tense—too tense for someone coming back from a party. His shoulders were tight, and his eyes darted

Arda hadn’t bothered to watch the road. She had spent the last thirty minutes crying, her shoulders trembling with every sob. Her cries had quieted now, replaced by a hollow silence. Grief lingered in her downcast eyes as Karina held her close, whispering soft words of encouragement. “It’s going to be okay,” Karina said, her voice steady but gentle. “Don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine.” The words offered a fragile kind of comfort, but they did little to push back the fear gnawing at Arda’s chest. Her voice trembled as she whispered, “They’re so big.” Her eyes flickered nervously toward the men dominating the front seat, their broad shoulders and towering frames making her feel even smaller. “Is the Alpha like them?” The image of the man from the café surfaced in her mind—the hunter she had felt an inexplicable pull toward. He’d been bigger than these men, taller, more commanding. The memory sent a chill through her, and her stomach knotted with dread. Karina hesitated, her arm tighte

Blinded by tears, Arda barely noticed her surroundings until the guard carrying her kicked open a door and set her firmly on her feet. Without a word, he backed away, stepped out, and shut the door behind him. The sharp click of the lock jolted her. She rushed to the door and twisted the handle, but it didn’t budge. She was locked in. Swallowing a sob, Arda wiped her tear-streaked face with the back of her hand, but it didn’t feel dry enough. Frustrated, she yanked up the hem of her pajama top and scrubbed her cheeks. When her vision finally cleared, she turned and let her eyes sweep the room for the first time. It wasn’t what she had expected. Given the Alpha’s imposing presence, she had braced herself for a room as cold and harsh as him—bare walls, no personality, maybe even chains. Instead, the space was warm and unexpectedly refined. The room was large, but cozy, with soft curtains and a faint, woody fragrance in the air. Its blend of modern design and rustic charm threw her o

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 the sheets, 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. You're my go
Born For The Alpha 68: Surrender
When she relaxed around him, Gillow accepted her surrender. He celebrated it with a 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 par
Born For The Alpha 67: A Touch to Remember
Arda stiffened for a fleeting second, wary of his beast surfacing but then something shifted. The heat of his kiss, the firm yet unyielding way he held her, and the sheer intensity of his presence melted the last traces of resistance within her. Her wariness also disappeared. She believed he would always protect her. He had come dangerously close to feeding on her on different occasions but somehow, he controlled his urges. This foundation was her hope. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she gave in, pressing closer, her fingers gripping his shoulders for balance. She wasn’t sure when she had risen onto her toes, but now she leaned into him completely, matching his passion with a hunger of her own. Gillow’s grip tightened, his hands splaying across her back, pulling her flush against him. He had wanted this—her surrender, her willingness to accept him, not out of obligation but because she truly desired him. And now, feeling her melt into him, responding with just as much need, a d

Arda responded to Gillow’s kiss, hesitant at first but gaining confidence with each passing second. A strange warmth settled in her chest, pushing aside the remnants of her earlier encounter with Luke. It surprised her how easily she let go of that unpleasant moment, as though Gillow’s presence had rewritten the weight of her past. Her heartbeat quickened when their lips parted, and for a moment, they simply stared at each other. There was something unspoken between them—something neither of them dared to put into words just yet. Gillow exhaled, then cast a glance at their table. Their plates were empty, the conversation complete. "I think we're done here," he said, his voice carrying an undertone of finality. Arda nodded, not trusting herself to speak. He pushed his chair back and stood, extending his hand. "Shall we?" She slipped her hand into his, relishing the warmth of his palm. "Sure." He led her toward the exit, his touch light yet commanding. A gentle breeze swept

Meanwhile, in the corridor, Luke stepped in front of Arda, blocking her path."Come on, I waited for you for three years," he said, voice thick with frustration. "Surely, I deserve answers or at least ...one more try."Arda’s expression hardened. "What do you want from me, Luke? It’s over.""I know. But I think it's fair if all I want to see right now is if you’re really a witch."Her eyes flashed with disbelief. "Step aside, Luke. I have nothing to say to you anymore. My boyfriend is waiting for me. And I’m sure your girlfriend is waiting for you."His jaw clenched. "Who do you think you are, huh?" His voice rose, frustration giving way to something uglier. "I waited three years for you, and yeah, I might’ve made a mistake, but now you’re just parading around with that guy. What is it? Because he’s rich? Because he’s so gorgeous you can’t keep your legs closed?"Arda stiffened, nostrils flaring. "What?" she bit out. "I’ve had enough of your insults."Luke surged forward, closing the
Born For The Alpha 64: His to Cherish, Not Yours
For three years, he had waited for her, believed in her. Then, just like that, she had moved on—to this stranger who now kissed her like he had always owned her. But wait, he thought. Had she lied to him? Had she already been seeing this man behind his back? So all this while she had a secret boyfriend and was pretending? The thought made his blood boil. He had convinced himself that rejecting her was the right thing to do, that she was nothing but a witch, someone who looked innocent but in reality, was evil. But now, watching her like this, he wasn’t so sure. Maybe he made a mistake. Perhaps he shouldn't have rejected her like that. At least not in such an embarrassing manner. He must have made a huge mistake. Because she looked happy. Genuinely, effortlessly happy. And the man she was with didn’t just claim her—he cherished her. Luke couldn’t stand it. “Babe?” His girlfriend’s voice pulled him back to the present. He realized then that he had been staring at Arda for to

Chapter Title: A New PathArda caught a glimpse of her newly manicured nails and smiled. She liked the way they looked, but the sight also brought back a memory—Gillow’s earlier refusal to let her fix them in the first place.“Alpha,” she said quietly.“Yes, mate?”“About my nails… Did you tell Karina to discourage me from fixing them?”Gillow didn’t even pretend to feign ignorance. “Sure.”Of course, he wouldn’t deny it. That was just how Gillow was.“She mentioned you were entertaining the idea during one of her sessions, so I told her if you tried it, I would have her head.”Arda’s heart skipped a beat. “But it wouldn’t have been her fault if she couldn’t stop me.”“True. But I didn’t care.”“That was mean, Alpha.”He chuckled. “I know. But… with my understanding today, you have my permission to do it. No more than twice every quarter of the year.”“Is it negotiable, considering I have the right to—”“Let’s not talk about rights now, mate. Let’s enjoy the moment and visit rights la

As the car rolled to a stop in the park’s parking lot, Arda took in the lively fast-approaching evening scene outside. People were scattered across the grounds, some walking, others lounging on benches, while children ran about, their laughter mingling with the rustling of the evening breeze. The atmosphere was warm, inviting—yet for her, this place held memories she wasn’t sure she wanted to relive.She reached for the door handle, but before she could push it open, Gillow's hand gently stopped her.“Allow me,” he said smoothly, a teasing glint in his eyes. “I want to be the perfect gentleman tonight.”She couldn’t help but smile at his playful tone. With that, he stepped out, walking around to her side. True to his word, he opened the door for her and extended his hand. She took it, feeling the strength in his grip as he helped her out.As he shut the door behind her, she noticed Gillow’s men discreetly taking strategic positions throughout the park. It was subtle but unmistakable—h
