Sarah's POV

The air in my office felt heavy as Anderson sat across from me, his legs casually stretched out, completely at ease. I, on the other hand, could not shake the tension coiling in my stomach.

I had told him to meet me here earlier during class, but now that we were face-to-face, I was not sure where to begin—something I had planned to say.

Finally, after gathering my thoughts and taking a silent, deep breath, I spoke.

"Listen, Anderson. We need to stop this," I said, my voice firmer than I expected.

He raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Stop what exactly?” he asked, leaning back in the chair.

"If anyone walked in here and heard that, they’d think we are dating and that you want to break up with me," he scoffed.

I sighed heavily, pressing my palms flat against the desk to ground myself. “I’m serious, Anderson. We need to stop... meeting like this. People will eventually notice if we keep seeing each other, and I can’t afford any suspicions because

    Anderson's POVThe bag swung violently as I drove another punch into it, the impact reverberating up my arms.Sweat dripped from my forehead, soaking the collar of my shirt, but I did not care.This was not about working out—it was about keeping my mind from combusting.No matter how hard I hit, it did not erase the frustration boiling in me. Not even my plans for Sarah could distract me from the one thing that had been gnawing at my thoughts all day—Lila’s threat.I told myself I would wait and see what she would do, but every time I replayed our conversation in the washroom, the unease crawled back.“You alright in there, man?" Lucas’s voice cut through the haze."Yeah, just… working off some steam," I grunted, trying to sound nonchalant.He raised an eyebrow, leaning casually against the wall with his arms crossed."Working off steam? By yourself? In the middle of the day?" Scepticism was evident in his gaze and voice."What? You think I need someone to watch me punch a bag?" I sco

    Anderson's POVThe conversation with Tasha had gone smoother than I had anticipated, which was a relief.When I told her everything in Lila’s presence earlier, her first question was why I had told Lila to keep it from her in the first place.I had expected that.“I’m sorry,” I replied, my tone measured."At first, I didn’t fully trust you because I knew how loyal pack members are to their Alpha, thinking you might suspect I was up to something... just like Lila did.” I shot Lila a pointed look before returning my gaze to Tasha."But in the end, what is friendship without trust? That is why I decided to tell you, hoping you'd believe I mean no harm."She studied me for a long moment before nodding. “It’s okay. I don’t see anything suspicious in it. Honestly, it’s something any new person in town would be curious about.”Her calm acceptance was a weight off my shoulders.Now, I just hoped she would not tell Axel because he would definitely see it as suspicious—no doubt about it.And I

    Anderson's POVWhen I finally burst through the door, the cold wind hit me like a slap. Seeing the boy still there, his back turned to me, I quietly caught my breath, careful not to let him notice. I did not want to startle him or make him panic—that was how I planned to handle the situation.Spotting a makeshift seat nearby, I sat down and observed him.He seemed unsure, hesitant about the decision he was contemplating.I took a deep breath and finally spoke.“So, tell me... what’s going on?” My voice was steady, hiding the anxiety I felt inside.When he turned to face me, he looked confused by my calm demeanour. I deliberately avoided eye contact, keeping my gaze forward, trying to appear composed.When our eyes finally met, his expression was a mix of bewilderment and curiosity."What did you say?” he asked, clearly thrown off by my approach.I let out a soft chuckle. “You heard me, man. What’s going on? Why are you thinking about ending your life?”I was not sure what he expected

    Sarah's POVThe date was the last thing on my mind. All I cared about was Anderson’s decision—what he wanted from me in exchange for keeping my secrets buried. That was the only thing I was focused on as I led him to the spot I had chosen, Riverglow Hollow.He looked around, confusion etched on his face. “Wait, where is the place you picked for the date?""This place? Here?!" His voice was laced with disbelief when I told him that our destination was nearby and we would arrive soon.A scoff left his lips. “Who in their right mind would choose a place like this for a date?”I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms. "Apparently, me," I shot back. "Besides, a date is about spending time together, talking. It doesn’t have to be in a fancy restaurant or an amusement park. This place is perfect for that.”"Oh, perfect. Just perfect. I dress up in one of my best dresses, thinking we are going somewhere classy, and you bring me to... this. I could have worn something more... appropriate. Like hik

    Sarah's POVI snapped my gaze away instantly, heat rushing to my cheeks.“What the hell are you doing?” I managed to choke out, my voice barely audible."Taking a swim, of course," Anderson replied.When I turned to look at him, that infuriating smirk was back in full force.Before I could say that I had not brought him here for that—just to talk and enjoy the river view—he dived in, slicing through the water with ease.When he resurfaced, droplets clung to his skin, trailing down his chest and abs. I could not help but stare, my mouth hanging open, as the sunlight danced across his wet skin, making him look even more ethereal.He ran a hand through his wet hair, pushing it back like he was trying to tie it into a bun, revealing his strong brow and deep-set eyes.The way the water clung to his body, the way his muscles moved with every stroke—it was impossible not to admire him. He looked like Poseidon himself, commanding the waves.The water rippled around him as he swam toward the

    Sarah's POVMy heart was still racing as I stepped into my room, slamming the door shut behind me. The tension from the river lingered in my chest, making every breath feel too shallow and quick.Pressing a hand over my pounding heart, I whispered to myself, "What if it had been someone? What if they recognised Anderson and me?" The questions spiralled in my head, each one more terrifying than the last.The twig had not been broken by a person—it was a deer. For a brief moment, its wide, innocent eyes locked with mine before it darted back into the bushes.I let out a long, shaky breath and slumped onto my bed. I needed to end this. Whatever it was between Anderson and me, it had to stop permanently. Because if anything like today happened again, I was not sure I would be able to resist him. And that terrified me more than the idea of getting caught. I had to admit, his charm was irresistible even to someone like me, just as he had boasted.My mind betrayed me, flashing back to the r

    Anderson's POVLying on my bed, I let out a deep, satisfied chuckle, still buzzing from the call with Sarah.She thought she could resist me? Adorable. The way her voice had wavered, the unspoken tension crackling between us—it was intoxicating. I had her exactly where I wanted her, and she knew it too.My mind drifted back to the river when she pulled my shirt over her nearly bare body—only her panties remaining—as she changed out of her dress to join me in the water, completely unaware of my hungry gaze.The sight of her reflection in the water had nearly ruined me. Her curves were nothing short of mesmerising and tempting—an hourglass figure that begged to be traced. Her breasts, full and impossibly firm, teased my imagination, making me ache to cup them, to feel their warmth before claiming them with my lips.I had planned to make her make the first move, to give her the illusion of control, but damn, the way she looked had pushed my patience to its limits. And with my cock alread

    Sarah's POVWho the hell does this guy think he is, showing up at my doorstep, knocking like a maniac, demanding to see me—despite me making it very clear that I don’t want to?It has not even been a full twenty-four hours since our disastrous phone call, yet here he is.Since the only plan I had to stop him from blackmailing me with my secrets was not possible, I decided the best thing to do was stay away from him.Sure, it was a risk, knowing what he could do with them, but I was willing to bet he was only using it as leverage—to manipulate me into doing his bidding. If he actually intended to go to the police or whatever, he would have done it by now, especially with how many times I’ve refused him. I just hope I’m right.However, my neighbour made me rethink my decision when she shouted, "I don’t know who the fuck that asshole is, but if you don’t give him whatever he wants and make him leave, I swear to God, I’ll be the one calling the cops on both of you!"Sighing, I muttered a

    Anderson's POVI didn’t sleep all night. Not a blink. Not a second.Because no matter how hard I tried, my thoughts kept drifting to Sarah. It was more than just thinking about her—it was like an invisible rope was pulling me toward her.The more I resisted, the more I felt like I was betraying a primal part of myself.My chest felt heavy, like someone had dropped a stone on it and kept tugging every time I tried to breathe.And to make it worse, every time I closed my eyes, this weird feeling would wash over me.Something felt off. I couldn’t relax, and it made me anxious. It was like the stupid mate bond was sending alarm bells through my body, making my skin tingle with this strange urgency—my muscles were tense like I was about to fight, and even my claws were itching to come out—which made no sense.I mean, I’m a lycan, not a werewolf. I’m supposed to have control over stuff like this.“Is she in danger?” I could not help but ask myself in the middle of the night, sitting up in b

    Sarah's POVMy eyes darted across the room, heart thudding like a war drum.The thick tension that came with Alpha Derek's presence felt like a noose tightening around my throat."What... What do you mean?" My voice trembled, trying my best to mask my fear and panic.Alpha Derek chuckled. It was the kind that would make your spine itch.His gaze pinned me down like prey. "That tongue of yours,” he murmured darkly."It is one of the few things I find impressive about you.""But make no mistake, girl, if you weren’t my son’s… friend, you wouldn’t be standing here, breathing this air. You’d be in a cell, or worse.”I froze. That was not a threat. That was a promise dressed in velvet.Then he stepped forward, his aura crashing over me like a tidal wave.“Tell me,” he said, his voice turning cold and sharp, “who’s the psycho brave enough to mess with my city like this?”I squared my shoulders, trying to ignore how my heart thundered against my ribs like a war drum.

    Sarah's POVMy head throbbed like someone had taken a hammer to it.Pain pulsed behind my eyes as I slowly came to, a groan escaping my dry lips.My tongue was dry, and every part of my body ached like I had been hit by a truck.I blinked several times, my vision blurry at first. This wasn't the dungeon. The stone walls and flickering torches were gone. Instead, soft morning light filtered through sheer curtains hanging over a window.I tried to lift my hand to rub my temple, but something cold and heavy pulled against my wrist. The metallic clank made my eyes snap open, and I looked down.The chain was still there. Shackled tightly around my ankle, biting into my skin.My heart leapt into my throat as memories hit me in fragments."What the..." I whispered."Did he figure it out? Does he know I’m connected to the murders now?" My heart pounded as the thought hit me."Did I black out last night?" My brows furrowed, trying to piece it all together.My whole body felt heavy as I pushed

    Sarah's POVThe dungeon was thick with tension.Alaric's gaze was locked on me, confused, processing what was happening.But I wasn't looking at him. My mind was spinning, trying to find a way out of this nightmare.Axel's face twisted with rage as he pointed at me."You lying piece of shit!" he growled, his muscles tensed like a coiled spring ready to unleash violence as he lunged toward me—only to be yanked back by Alaric’s sharp command."Stop!" His voice echoed off the stone walls.Axel froze mid-step, but his eyes burnt with defiance. "Just because Dad left you in charge doesn't mean you get to order me around like some pet!"He snarled, baring teeth that seemed sharper than they should be. "I have just as much right to act as you do!"His fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned bone white. "She's playing us, and you know it!"The air in the room suddenly felt colder.Alaric's fists clenched so tight I could hear the bones crack before he turned to face his brother slowly.“Y

    Sarah's POV There he stood—Vincent Reyes, the notorious loan shark who owned some of the underground businesses in the city. He was the owner of the loan shark company and also a werewolf. His tall figure filled the doorway.Alaric's eyes flashed with irritation. "You are late, Reyes. The moon doesn't wait for anyone, neither do I."Vincent ran a hand through his slicked-back hair, offering a slight bow that didn't quite reach his eyes. "My sincerest apologies. Had a little... situation."When Vincent's gaze finally landed on me, my heart stopped. Time itself seemed to freeze as I felt naked, as if he could see right through me. His eyes narrowed, head tilting slightly as he studied my face.This was it. He would definitely know who I was and I was dead— even though I was sure we hadn't come across each other before.And now, he was going to tell them everything—that I had killed every one of them because of the loan I was yet to pay back.

    SARAH'S POVI woke up to a pounding headache, my vision swimming as if I had been knocked out cold. My body felt heavy, my limbs sluggish, and every breath came in short, shaky gasps.Blurred figures stood in front of me, their voices slurring together like an incoherent murmur as I fought to sit up, forcing myself to push past the weight pressing me down.I had to wake up. I had to figure out where the hell I was.A low groan escaped my lips as I blinked against the flickering glow of torches hanging on the walls. The dim light did little to help me piece together my surroundings.The last thing I remembered was walking into the loan shark’s office, determined to uncover the murderer’s identity through a ritual.I had overheard two students whispering about it at school, and I needed answers.I was in the middle of it when everything went dark.Now, as my vision cleared, I finally saw them.Alaric sat in front of me, legs crossed, his sharp eyes watching me like a predator sizing up

    Anderson's POVThe woods were eerily quiet as I stepped into the clearing where Lancelot was already waiting—our usual meeting spot.I chose this place for its isolation because no one would get to see us together.His eyes locked onto mine the second he saw me.“You’re late,” he muttered.I scoffed, dragging my gaze over him like he was nothing more than a waste of space. "Yeah? And?”His brows knitted together, annoyance flashing in his eyes. "You said to meet here at this time—”"And you actually thought I cared?” I cut him off.A flicker of confusion and frustration crossed his face as he gritted his teeth. “Then why the hell are we here? You agreed to—"My hands slid into my pockets as I took another step forward, closing the gap between us. “To make you realise what a fool you have been..."A smirk tugged at my lips. "Because I've just been wasting your time all this while."His whole body went rigid, his breath hitching as the weight of my words sank in."You’ve been… wasting m

    Author's POVIn the skeleton of an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city, Harry, Anderson's adoptive father, paced like a caged animal, his shoes scuffing against the dirt-strewn floor.He checked his watch for the fifth time in as many minutes, his jaw clenched tight as he drummed impatiently against it.“Damn it. She should be here by now,” he muttered, glancing toward Gaines."Every second we waste..." He shook his head, the moonlight catching the beads of sweat on his temple."Every second we waste is another second closer to everything falling apart. If Derek connects those dots..." His voice trailed off as he slammed his fist against a concrete pillar."We don’t have the luxury of time.” His voice was sharp, filled with mounting frustration.Gaines, leaning casually against a pillar, exhaled through his nose.He had been watching Harry’s restlessness with mild amusement, but there was an underlying tension in his stance as well.He checked his own wristwatch before res

    Anderson's POVI did not expect to see my adoptive mother return with Lucas."Didn’t you leave already?" I asked flatly, raising a brow at her as she strolled in with Lucas."Weren’t you supposed to leave with Dad? What's wrong?” My voice was laced with suspicion.Something felt off.She smiled—too easily, too calmly. “Oh, nothing’s wrong. We just decided I should stay here overnight while he handles things.”I did not believe her for a second—it was as if she had another agenda other than just to spend time with me a bit before leaving the next morning like she had claimed.But before I could press further, she seamlessly changed the subject."We should have dinner together," she suggested, her tone light but leaving no room for refusal.I did not argue. I never really did with her or my adoptive father."Fine," I muttered, already rising to head to my room."I'll join you later. Need to freshen up first."She said nothing, but I felt her eyes on me as I walked off.Under the water,
