Lies and Confrontations RHEA’S POV “Did you tell Miles that we were dating?” I asked, staring pointedly at Yuri. Yuri stood there, a gift bag in one hand and a bouquet of roses in the other, looking every bit the guilty party. He shifted on his feet, rubbing the back of his neck but remained sile
I let out a long, tired sigh, my shoulders slumping. My voice softened as I looked at him. “I know, Yuri. And I appreciate everything you’ve done for me and Sekani. I truly do. But I need you to stop interfering in my life. I’m not a child. I can handle myself.” He opened his mouth to argue, but I r
“Yes,” I said, nodding with forced enthusiasm, plastering a grin on my face that I hoped looked convincing. “So, when is she coming back to Snowfall?” He looked at me expectantly. “Soon,” I replied. “She just has to put everything in place before transferring here.” “I can’t wait to see her. Mo
Work Dinner MILES’ POV One Week Later... “Alpha Miles,” Alpha Zane greeted as he stepped out of his car, his gammas flanking him. His posture was relaxed, but the slight edge in his tone didn’t go unnoticed. I smiled knowingly. I already had a good idea of what this was about. “Alpha Zane,” I re
Work Dinner 2 RHEA’S POV My smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and I froze in place, my blood boiling. Was this some kind of betrayal from my colleagues? What on earth was Miles Mondragon doing here, sitting among medical personnel at our work dinner? I was certain Yuri had mentioned he
I caught myself staring and quickly pulled my gaze away, stopping my thoughts from wandering further. I had checked out his fingers several times and didn’t find a ring. It made me wonder why he never wore one. Back when we were married, even at the height of his disdain for me, he had worn our wedd
The Truth in the Bag MILES’ POV Rhea swallowed hard. Her lips pressed into a thin line as if she was forcing herself to remain composed. I held her gaze, silently begging her to see the sincerity in my apology. My heart was racing, thudding so hard I was sure she could hear it. I could feel the ti
As the music began to play, I kept my eyes on her. She swallowed hard, grabbing her wine glass and downing it like her life depended on it. Her cheeks flushed a deep red, and I could see her trying desperately to keep her composure. I sang, pouring everything I felt into the words. Rhea avoided my g
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
