I'd always admired Elijah's easygoing nature. He was so different from Dalton in so many ways. Where Dalton embodied power and intensity—his muscular build and rugged, intimidating persona—Elijah was softer, almost disarming. He reminded me of the boy next door, someone you could trust without thinking twice. Elijah wasn’t imposing in the slightest, but there was something in the way he spoke to me, made me laugh, and went out of his way to make me feel at ease that made me want to be around him more.

As we sat there, talking, a constant ache gnawed at my chest. I had come here to learn about myself—to understand my wolf, how to shift, how to control the power that still seemed so foreign to me. It was the most important thing now. Everything else had to come second. But despite the determination in my mind, there was something about Elijah’s presence that made everything feel a little less heavy. His easy charm, the way he smiled at me—it was enough to make my heart swell in ways I

    I couldn't help but giggle as Harry slipped his warm hand into mine, guiding me toward the entrance of the bar. The excitement bubbling inside me was hard to suppress. I had never been to a bar before, and though I wasn’t sure why Harry had brought me here, the energy of the place immediately intrigued me. People were chatting and laughing, the bass-heavy music reverberating through the walls, and I felt myself loosen up, just a little.As we approached the door, two large men stood guard—clearly the bouncers of the establishment. Harry leaned in, his voice barely a whisper as he mouthed, "Bouncers," and then pulled a mask from his jacket, handing it to me. I raised an eyebrow, unsure of the sudden necessity."I don't have one," I said, but Harry only grinned and slipped the pink mask into my hands."I've got you covered."I hesitated for a moment, but then smiled and put the mask on, stepping into the bar beside him. The moment I entered, I was struck by the electric atmosphere—the f

    My heart was hammering in my chest as I returned to the corner where I had been standing earlier. I tried to shake off the disorienting thoughts of Dalton and Cynthia, but the image of them kissing was burned into my mind. I could still see it vividly, feel the jealousy and confusion twisting inside me. "Hey, where did you disappear to?" Harry’s voice was full of concern, pulling me out of my head. "I even tried calling you, but you didn’t pick up."I avoided his gaze, not wanting to think about the scene I had just witnessed. "I... I thought I saw someone I knew," I mumbled, offering him only half of the truth.Harry's eyes narrowed, and a flicker of curiosity crossed his features. "You did? Who was it? Where are they?"I shook my head, brushing it off. "It wasn’t who I thought it was. Let’s just forget about it."He gave me a scrutinizing look, but eventually shrugged it off. "Well, as long as you're okay. I don't mind."His gaze dropped to the untouched glass in my hand. "You've b

    I blinked, disoriented, the flashing lights and pounding music of the club suddenly too overwhelming. Where had Dalton gone? I couldn’t have imagined our entire dance—or the way his hands felt on me, the intensity of his gaze, or the promises laced in his smirk. He was here, wasn’t he?Frantically, I scanned the sea of bodies swaying under the strobe lights, but the crowd was impenetrable. People pressed together in a chaotic rhythm, laughing and drinking, their faces blurred and unfamiliar. Dalton was nowhere. Neither was Cynthia. A pang of unease tightened my chest. If anyone knew where he might be, it would’ve been her. But she had vanished, too.The alcohol muddled my thoughts, turning them into sludge. My head pounded, each throb sharper than the last, and my vision blurred at the edges. I felt lightheaded, as if the air itself were conspiring to suffocate me. The room, once vast, now felt impossibly small. Bodies pressed in from every direction, a tangled mass of limbs and noise

    I twisted violently in his grasp, thrashing until he finally let go, my body collapsing to the cold floor beneath me. My chest heaved as I scrambled backward, every nerve in my body screaming to escape the man before me.“Y-you…” I stammered, my voice raw and trembling. My palms scraped against the gritty floor as I tried to push myself away. “What are you doing here?”The man laughed—a low, guttural sound that reverberated through the glass-walled room like a predator's growl. He crouched down, resting his elbows on his knees, his head tilted slightly as if studying me.“Do you really not remember me, sweetheart?” he asked, his voice dripping with mock hurt.I froze for a moment, dread curling in my stomach. He leaned closer, his movements slow and deliberate, like a cat toying with its prey.“Come on now, don’t be shy,” he coaxed, pulling off his gloves one finger at a time. The soft sound of the leather peeling away sent chills down my spine. He dropped the gloves carelessly to the

    Sid’s eyes gleamed with a feral intensity, bloodshot and feverish, his twisted grin carving shadows into his face. The malice in his gaze was palpable, a dark hunger radiating from him like heat from a fire."You really don’t get it, do you?" he murmured, his voice low and serpentine as he leaned closer. "Why do you think I let you run away in the forest? It wasn’t incompetence, baby girl. I let you hide in that cave. I even ordered the others to turn back. I wanted you all to myself. I planned to take you somewhere safe, somewhere no one else could touch you—at least until the Lycan King came sniffing around."“What are you talking about?” I whispered, my voice trembling with disbelief. My body was pressed so tightly against the glass wall behind me that it felt like I might shatter through it.Sid chuckled, the sound sharp and cruel. “Oh, come on. Don’t play dumb. I saw you eavesdropping on us that night. You think I didn’t know?”I shook my head, the room spinning around me. “You…

    The door crashed open with an earth-shaking force, the hinges screeching in protest as the wooden frame splintered and crumpled to the ground. A dark figure loomed in the doorway, backlit by the dim red glow of the emergency lights in the corridor. The air seemed to shift, thickening with an aura of power that made every hair on my body stand on end.“Nope, she is mine.”That voice. Deep, commanding, and unmistakable.My heart stuttered in my chest as I blinked, the silhouette stepping forward, revealing his chiseled face, sharp eyes like molten gold, and an expression that radiated danger.Dalton.My Lycan King.Relief surged through me like a tidal wave, and my knees nearly gave out as I realized he had come. He had come to save me.Sid froze, his wild eyes darting between Dalton and me. The syringe in his hand trembled slightly, but he quickly concealed it behind his back, his confidence faltering.“Bouncers! Security!” Sid’s voice cracked as he shouted, desperation bleeding throug

    The door burst open with a thunderous crash, splintering wood echoing through the room. In the wreckage of the frame stood a figure cloaked in shadow, tall and imposing. The broken door lay in fragments at his feet, its hinges groaning as they hung askew. “No,” the voice said, low and unyielding, cutting through the air like a blade. “She belongs to me.” That voice. I froze, my breath caught in my throat. Even in the chaos, even in the darkest moments, I would know that voice anywhere. It was him. My Lycan King. Relief surged through me, almost overwhelming. He had come. He had found me. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, I allowed myself to believe I might be safe. My trembling hands fell to my sides as I let out a shaky exhale. Sid, on the other hand, wasn’t so composed. His head whipped around, panic etched into every line of his face. “Security!” he barked, his voice cracking. “Where the hell are the bouncers?” No one answered. Callahan didn’t move

    Callahan carried me down the stairs, his arms steady and secure despite the chaos of the night. I couldn’t explain it, but the moment he held me, the crushing weight of anxiety that had been suffocating me all evening began to lift. Exhaustion washed over me, heavy and inescapable. His footsteps were measured, quiet against the carpeted steps, but each one seemed to echo in my ears. I buried my face against his chest, letting the steady rhythm of his heartbeat anchor me. His scent, warm and woodsy, was oddly comforting. The party below carried on as if nothing had happened, laughter and music spilling through the air. No one had a clue about what had transpired upstairs. Callahan, with his controlled demeanor, seemed determined to keep it that way. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Sid sprawled on the floor, his body twitching, his eyes wide and lifeless with fear. His gaze followed me as Callahan descended the stairs, but I couldn’t bear to look at him any long

    The warmth of his lips vanished too soon, leaving my skin cold and aching in their absence. My heart hammered against my ribs, protesting the sudden loss. One second, I was lost in the heat of Dalton’s touch, melting under the pressure of his mouth. The next, he pulled away, his focus shifting elsewhere.I should have been used to his unpredictability by now. But stopping—in the middle of this—was a new level of frustrating.I had barely caught my breath when his hands seized my waist, lifting me effortlessly. A startled gasp left my lips as he pulled me up, settling me onto his lap with ease. My bare skin pressed against him, but he didn’t resume kissing me. He didn’t even move.I tried twisting to see what had caught his attention, but his palm came down lightly on my thigh—a silent order to stay put.A shiver ran down my spine. Obediently, I propped myself up on my elbows, my chest pressing against the damp ground, waiting.His thumb ghosted over the sensitive skin of my mark, send

    For a split second, my heart stopped.Did he just say that?I felt my stomach twist, heat creeping up my neck. He knew.Of course, he did. He could smell it. My arousal.I had forgotten that was even a thing.But shouldn’t the water have masked it? Shouldn’t it have dulled the intensity?Panic clawed at my chest, urging me to run, to disappear into the shadows before I embarrassed myself even further. First, I had foolishly admitted my crush, and now my body was betraying me in the worst way.I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the way my thighs pressed together beneath the water. My dress clung to me, torn and ragged, the delicate sleeves hanging uselessly at my sides.I must look desperate. Hungry.Weak.I turned, intending to take a step back, to put some distance between us, but Dalton moved too fast.I froze.His presence was a force, surrounding me, owning the space between us. I dropped my gaze, unable to meet his piercing stare.“Zee.” His voice was softer than I expected, but

    “I… I felt something,” I whispered, gripping Dalton’s wrist without realizing it. He let me, his body steady and unmoving as I nearly stumbled into his chest.His lips curved slightly. “That’s good. Close your eyes and try again. Focus on that feeling—let it guide you.”Encouraged by his words, I nodded and squeezed my eyes shut. My breath was slow and measured as I searched for that pull—the strange tug deep in my stomach, like an invisible thread connecting me to something unknown.But nothing happened.The sensation had vanished, leaving behind an empty void.Panic surged through me. My eyes flew open, desperation lacing my voice. “It’s gone. I can’t feel anything—I can’t—”A firm finger pressed against my lips, cutting off my anxious rambling.“Shh.” Dalton’s voice was calm, his touch light but commanding.A shudder ran down my spine. It wasn’t just his words; it was the way he looked at me, unwavering and composed, as if he truly believed I could do this.“It will come to you,” h

    The ride to the lake felt agonizingly slow, stretched thin by the heavy silence between us. The small space of the car seemed to shrink, making it impossible to escape the tension that had taken root in the air.Dalton was focused on the road, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned pale. His sharp jaw was clenched, the veins in his throat subtly protruding as if he were restraining something—anger, frustration, or something else entirely.I fidgeted with my fingers, my mind still replaying my foolish confession from earlier. I had blurted out my fascination with him so thoughtlessly, without a drop of alcohol to blame for my lack of restraint. What had I been thinking?If he was merely toying with me, leading me to a dead end where my feelings would be left shattered and bleeding, I had nowhere else to turn.Would he do that?The question burned in my chest, but I forced myself to look away, my gaze drifting outside the car window. The night was deep

    I had spent too long suppressing my emotions, tangled in my own confusion. But tonight, there was no running from the truth. No more pretending.The ache that had settled deep in my chest, gnawing at my very soul every time he wasn’t around, had become unbearable. I had tried to ignore it, push it aside, convince myself it was nothing. But the moment Dalton was near, my resolve shattered like fragile glass. The pull toward him was undeniable. My body craved his touch, my lips yearned for his kiss.And tonight, I would awaken my wolf. I could feel it in my bones, humming beneath my skin, restless and impatient.There was no one else I wanted by my side but him.Dalton had been my guide, my tormentor, my salvation—training me relentlessly, pushing me past my limits, never letting me give up even when I wanted to. He had never treated me as weak, never doubted my potential. And tonight, I wanted to thank him. In the most intimate way possible.I wanted his eyes on me, only me. Those gold

    Oliver was going to be the death of me.Every time I tried to distance myself, something inside me rebelled. It wasn’t just my body—my heart ached for her in a way I couldn’t control.She was too pure, too naive, and too damn brave for her own good. The day I brought her home, I had only intended to make amends for my past sins, not entangle her in the darkness that surrounded me.But she stayed. Even when I was cold, even when I tried to shove her away, she never left. And I hated how much that relieved me.I could feel the weight of her gaze now, studying me, waiting—always waiting for something more. I should have ignored it. Should have walked away. Instead, words slipped past my lips before I could stop them.Oliver frowned. "What did you just say?"Damn it."Nothing," I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through my hair.She took a step forward, unrelenting. "No, you said something. Tell me."I should lie. I should say anything to make her drop it. But the way she was looking at m

    A few minutes ago, I had been happy. Genuinely happy.Today was supposed to be one of the most important days of my life. The day everything changed.For over a month, I had trained relentlessly. I had followed every order Dalton had given me, endured every grueling challenge, and pushed my body beyond its limits. All of it was for this night—the night of the full moon, the night my wolf would awaken.For the first time in my life, I had dared to dream.I had even dressed up for the occasion.Sure, I had worn elegant gowns before—at the ball, at that party with Harry—but this was different. This wasn’t about impressing others. This was about me. About reclaiming my worth.I had imagined walking among the alphas with my head held high. No longer an outcast, no longer a weakling—just a strong, capable woman worthy of respect.But reality had a cruel way of reminding me who I was.I hadn’t even planned to attend this meeting. My only intention was to pray—to offer a silent plea to the Mo

    The grand doors creaked open, and the room fell into an eerie silence. Every conversation, every whispered discussion about rogue attacks and war strategies came to an abrupt halt. And it was because of her.Oliver stepped inside with slow, deliberate steps, her head held high even as her hands clenched at her sides. The confidence she tried to portray didn’t fully mask the nervous energy radiating from her, but that didn’t matter—not when she looked like that.My breath stalled in my throat as my gaze traced her figure from head to toe.The dark blue gown she wore clung to her body like a second skin, accentuating every curve in a way that had my jaw tightening. A slit ran up one side, stopping just high enough to tempt, to make my fingers twitch with the desire to reach out and feel the warmth of her skin beneath my touch.I had seen Oliver in all sorts of clothing—loose dresses, gym wear, simple pajamas. The only time she had worn something even remotely revealing was that night by

    Dread settled in my bones, growing heavier with every breath. The thought of finally meeting my wolf—of standing before all those powerful Alphas—sent a wave of anxiety crashing through me.What if my wolf never awakened?What if I stood there, waiting, only to be met with silence?I wouldn’t be able to show my face after that. It would be the ultimate humiliation. The whispers would start, the judgmental stares would follow, and the realization that I was nothing—just a girl without a wolf—would suffocate me.I would rather lock myself in my room forever than endure that shame.Drusilla sat across from me, watching me with an unreadable expression. I could tell she was hesitating, weighing her words before speaking. That only made me more nervous.Finally, she sighed. “I just hope your wolf awakens soon.”My heart clenched at her words.“I do too,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “But that’s not all you wanted to say, is it? You’re hiding something.”Drusilla pressed her
