“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
Regrets MILES’ POV The shrill ringing of my phone jolted me awake. My neck throbbed in protest as I lifted my head from the desk, where I had clearly passed out the night before. Squinting at the screen, I saw Roxy’s name flashing. I sighed heavily, tossed the phone back onto the desk, and let it
“Oh, my son. Look what’s happened to you,” she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around me. Her hands cupped my face gently as she scanned me from head to toe, her eyes glistening with worry. I resisted the urge to push her away and let her finish. As soon as she stepped aside, I walked into the living
When I looked at the rearview mirror again, my eyes met his. His eyes were sad and unsure. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to make you mad.” My heart squeezed. I reached for the gear and pulled over to the side of the road, my chest aching. “No, baby. I’m sorry.” I turned in my seat to
Fathers and SonsRHEA’S POV I purposely avoided going back to Miles' room after I left. I didn’t show up yesterday like I promised Ma Lisa. I didn’t go today either. Not even when Dr. Patel sent one of the nurses to tell me they had asked for me twice. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I didn
My brows creased slightly, but I kept the smile on my face, wondering what he meant by that. But I made no comment. Then, he looked over at Miles, then back at me, looking far too excited."He hasn’t looked at another woman in seven years. Not once. He has refused to claim another Luna. That boy has
Of Storms and ScarsRHEA'S POVI had rehearsed this scene time and again in my head. I had it all in my head. Everything I would say to them, but what I didn't get ready for was the surge of emotion that would overwhelm me. Tears welled up in my eyes as Pa Dennis blinked like he had seen a ghost. Ma
I inclined my head, wincing a little. “Feels good.” “I’m Dr. Patel Kentuckey. I’ll be handling your case moving forward.” He walked closer, eyes scanning the monitors as he continued. “I must say, I’m impressed by your recovery. Given the severity of your hypothermia, this is nothing short of a mir
Silent Bonds MILES’ POV There was a dull throbbing in my limbs. At first, it was cold. Then warmth. Then pain. Everything felt slow, like my body had forgotten how to exist in one piece. I blinked against the blinding white lights overhead, squinting as the room began to sharpen into focus. The fi
Unburied ThingsRHEA’S POV Despite the usual cheerful greetings as I walked through the hospital halls, I could feel the subtle whispers trailing behind me. Eyes flicked my way. Curiosity buzzed in the air like static. Everyone wanted to know what was really going on between me and Alpha Miles Mond
“No idea. But it rained all night. He might’ve been out there for hours.”She glanced at her clipboard, then looked up at me. “You got lucky. Most don’t pull through once it dips below thirty-two. But…” she gave a soft exhale, “he’s stabilized now. His vitals are holding." I let out a breath I didn
RHEA'S POV I stared at PA Dennis flashing across the screen as the phone rang in my hand. My heart thundered in my chest. This couldn't be happening. I had thought of reaching out to Evans or even Rico, to let them know about Miles' condition. They would know how to handle this better. But PA Denni
