“Don’t fucking play that card on me, Rhea,” he warned, his eyes shining with malice. “Play what card, Mondragon? The truth?!” I shot back. “No, let’s talk. Let’s talk about what you would have done if I had actually terminated the pregnancy like you wanted me to.” Confusion quickly replaced his fi
The Lies That Kept Us Apart RHEA’S POV "Rhea, all of this has been one big misunderstanding," Miles said, stepping closer, his hand reaching out like he wanted to touch me. Instinctively, I stepped back. “It kept us apart for seven whole years.” I shook my head, snapping out of the shock that had
Lies, Deals, and Deception YURI’S POV I paced the length of Zane’s living room, my heart hammering against my ribs. I had been calling Rhea since last night, and she had refused to answer even once. It was driving me insane. Everything about this situation was driving me crazy. Miles. Why the
The audacity of this bastard. “I heard you were around,” he added, looking as smug as ever. I didn’t bother with pleasantries. “What the fuck did you do, Zane? We had a fucking deal!” I snapped, fists clenched. Zane had the nerve to lower his head slightly, as if he actually felt guilty. But it
Fists, Fury, and a Mother’s WrathYURI’S POV The drive to the Thompsons’ was longer than usual, or maybe it just felt that way because of the thoughts crashing through my head. My grip on the steering wheel tightened. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I had convinced myself it was for Rhea’s g
The First MeetingRHEA’S POV At first, I was frozen in disbelief. Then, like a slow-rising flood, the fury hit me. Full-blown, pulse-racing, lip-twitching anger. Anger at his tone. Anger at that possessive glare. Anger at those two stupid words—my female. I wasn’t anyone’s. I didn’t belong to any
I stepped back like his hand was fire. Like even the thought of him touching me made my skin crawl. I looked at him, no longer bothering to hide the tears pooling in my eyes. “You didn’t do it for my good,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Don’t stand there and feed me that lie again.” I stepped fo
Where Silence ScreamsRHEA’S POV I stood behind the couch, watching the exchange, my heart clenching in my chest. Sekani had always been bright and sensitive. He was loyal to a fault. And today, I could see that his heart was hurting in ways he didn’t yet understand, seeing the tension between Y
Evans’ voice cracked. He had already called 911. But now… all he could do was hold on. “Please… hold on, Alpha,” he choked, his eyes filling with tears. “Help is coming. Just stay with me.” Rhea had Sekani in her arms now, her hands shaking as she cradled him to her chest. “Baby, baby, are you okay
“Wait! I’m not gonna hurt you!” he shouted as he ran into the park, heart thudding. “Come back!” That little creature needed help. And he wasn’t going to let it suffer like that. --- Evans pulled into the park with Miles sitting tense beside him. Their eyes scanned the area as the car rolled slow
In the Name of the Son THIRD PERSON POV (I will use the third person's POV here because a lot of events are going to take place in this chapter. Please pardon me.) Sekani lowered his gaze, twirling his tiny fingers in his lap. “Mommy won’t let me talk to you. She won’t let me tell you anything. S
Ms. Lucy found herself blushing before she could stop it. She cleared her throat and straightened her expression. Holmes didn’t miss it. He hid his smile. “So,” he said lightly, “how can I help you, ma’am?” Ms. Lucy sighed, pressing a hand to her forehead. “Forgive me. I’m wondering if you’ve seen
(I'm using the third person's POV for this chapter because so many events will happen at the same time. Please, pardon me.) Faster Than Fear THIRD PERSON POV Yuri sped down the highway, his foot heavy on the gas, engine growling as the city blurred past in streaks of color. His jaw was tight, and
He slid into his car without looking back. Slammed the door. The engine roared to life, and a moment later, he backed out of my driveway and disappeared down the road. I walked back into the house, sucking in deep breaths, trying to keep it all together, trying not to feel overwhelmed by all the em
The Edge of Letting Go RHEA'S POV “Ree, I know you’re mad at me, but just hear me out,” Yuri pleaded, his voice barely holding together. “Yuri, what’s there to hear out? That you’ve been lying to me for goddess knows how long?” His face twisted in frustration. “I did what I had to do. I was tryi
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
