He blinked a few times, his brows furrowing as if trying to make sense of where he was. His lips moved, but no sound came out at first. Then, with a sudden energy, he spoke. “Rhea!” My blood ran cold. * MILES’ POV Rhea approached me with a first aid box. “Let me see your knuckles, Miles,” she s
The FalloutRHEA’S POV “Just look at you!” Evans practically gasped, his voice dripping with disbelief as I stepped out of the salon. I flashed him a small smile, tucking a stray strand of my freshly dyed blonde hair behind my ear. “Hey, Evans.” “I swear, if I didn’t know it was you, I would
“What is that?” I asked. “It’s... it’s Miles,” he replied, his voice almost a whisper. My heart dropped like a stone. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. But I forced myself to inhale deeply, clutching the edges of my scarf. “Evans,” I said firmly, “don’t tell him anything. Not where I am, not wha
I pushed the lot’s heavy door open with a little more force than necessary, and before long, the sound of Miles’ uneven steps echoed behind me. He wasn’t one to let things slide, and sure enough, I heard his voice behind me. “Do we have a problem, Evans?” he asked, his voice cold and demanding. I
A FINAL GOODBYE MILES’ POV I was still simmering with anger after Evans’ outburst earlier. As much as I hated to admit it, I couldn’t completely fault him. His loyalty to Rhea ran deep, and honestly, I respected that about him. But blaming Roxy? That didn’t sit well with me either. She had dropped
My chest tightened again. Why do I feel like this? I questioned silently. This was what I wanted, wasn’t it? The freedom, the space… the distance. Maybe it was the guilt of not being there for her when she needed me the most. Maybe that was all I felt. Guilt. But the emptiness felt heavier than I h
STRANGE EMOTIONS MILES’ POV I felt something wet sliding down my cheek. Frowning, I wiped at it with my thumb and paused when I realized what it was. Tears. I sighed deeply, furrowing my brows. Why am I crying? An Alpha like me, crying over a letter? A letter from a woman I never wanted to be
She smiled faintly again, but this time it felt like goodbye. “Wake up, Alpha. It’s time for you to eat and take your medications,” she said, her voice becoming distant. “Rhea, wait—” I called, reaching out, but she tapped my leg lightly. “Alpha. Alpha, wake up,” she repeated, her voice firmer now
‘We will see about that. We’ll see where your victim card takes you this time. You were delusional enough to hire someone to stab you just to get Miles’ attention. How pathetic. I thought he was yours all along, why did you have to hurt yourself just to make him notice you?’ Rhea’s words on the scr
CONFESSIONS ROXY’S POV An hour ago... The nurse entered with a clipboard in hand, her face was calm as she checked my vitals. I smiled politely as she went about her work. Things were finally falling into place. After this hospital stint, Miles would have no choice but to take me into his home. I
Silence fell over the room. My mother’s hands were clasped tightly as if she could physically will away my pain. My father leaned back in his chair, watching me carefully with his sharp eyes, but even he couldn’t mask the sorrow etched in his expression. “I lost her,” I muttered, barely able to ch
WHEN AN ALPHA CRIES MILES’ POV The rain poured in relentless sheets, pounding against the windshield like it was trying to drown out the chaos in my head. I barely noticed. My grip on the steering wheel was so tight my knuckles had turned bone-white, and my jaw was clenched like a vice. The i
NOT AGAIN RHEA’S POV “Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” Yuri asked, his tone somewhere between concern and exasperation as he turned off the car engine in front of my hostel. I waved off his worry with what I hoped was a convincing smile. “No, I’m fine. Seriously. I
UNVEILED MILES’ POV I stood by the door, arms folded, watching Roxy lying on the bed. Her pale face was turned toward the ceiling, her lips pressed into a thin line. Neither of us spoke. Her silence was heavy, but I wasn’t about to break it. She had been stabbed twice, but by some miracle, the bla
“Her eyes flared with indignation. “You divorced her, for crying out loud!” she barked, her voice echoing through the office. “Don’t tell me you’re regretting that decision!” When I didn’t reply immediately, she began pacing the room, her emotions clearly spiraling. “How dare you lead me on?” she
CONFRONTATION MILES’ POV “ Any luck yet?” Rico’s voice broke the silence as he strode into my office. I dragged my tired eyes up to meet his, the exhaustion clear in my expression, and then returned to the glowing screen of my computer. Rico didn’t need a verbal response. He sighed and dropped i
I walked closer, marveling at the larger-than-life images. One depicted Yuri’s father in his Alpha prime; proud, strong, and imposing. Another featured his mother, whose striking features mirrored Yuri’s. Then, there was one of Yuri himself, dressed in full Alpha regalia, his once-long hair cascadin
