A few seconds later, Miles was storming toward me. I knew he would follow. I just knew it. I braced myself for his rant. But he marched straight up to me and punched me in the jaw, catching me off guard. The punch sent me stumbling back a step, but I quickly regained my footing. My hand instinctivel
One Step Too Close RHEA’S POV "Ms. Marston, that was a great speech," one of the visiting alphas said with a broad smile. His Luna clung to his arm like he might float away without her, and he balanced a drink in his free hand. “Thank you,” I replied, returning the smile. "I'm glad it impresse
Miles’ unwavering stare made my stomach churn, my grip on my flute tightened slightly, and I composed myself, tilting my chin up. We’re divorced. I’ve moved on. He has no power over me anymore. “Alpha Mondragon,” Dr. Ivan said with a respectful nod, “I would like to properly introduce Ms. Ree Marst
One More Chance MILES’ POV “What’s your next step now?” Evans asked, setting his shot glass on the counter. His expression was taut. “You’re not seriously going to drown yourself in alcohol like you did seven years ago, right?” I sighed heavily, lifting my glass and gulping down another shot. The
A Monday Surprise RHEA'S POV “Good morning, Ree!” chirped Olivia, the ever-cheerful receptionist, with a broad smile as I stepped into the reception. “Good morning, Olivia!” I replied with equal cheer, making my way to her desk. “Don’t forget to grab a cookie. I made enough for everyone.” I exten
Before I could respond, Dr. Patel stepped out of the exam room nearby with a clipboard in hand. I inwardly sighed with relief. “Ah, Nurse Stella, just the person I was looking for. Can you assist me with a follow-up in Room 302?” “Duty calls,” Stella said with a playful salute. “Thanks for the cook
She Has My Son MILES’ POV Yuri and I are just friends. Yuri and I are just friends. That statement rang in my head continuously as I made my way out of the hospital lobby. Hope bloomed in my chest—that lying bastard. I knew Yuri was a bastard. No wonder my friends never liked him. Stepping thro
Yuri’s gaze shifted, and his eyes fell on me. His jaw tightened as recognition flickered across his face. The arrogant stride as he walked toward me only stoked the fire raging inside me. The audacity. The absolute nerve of this man. “Alpha Mondragon,” Yuri greeted in a calm but razor-sharp voice a
I didn’t want Sekani anywhere near this conversation. He didn’t need to hear the things I was about to say. Because I was going to yell. I had made it crystal clear in the last message I sent that I never wanted to see Yuri again. Not at my house. Not at my porch. Not even in my dreams. He could hav
Of Boundaries and Blood RHEA'S POV Sekani beamed at his new wristwatch, his small fingers turning it this way and that as I pulled into the driveway. “I love it so much,” he said, eyes sparkling. I smiled at him from the rearview mirror. “I’m glad you do,” I replied. “Promise me you’ll always we
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
