I swallowed hard, trying to steady the storm of emotions swirling inside me. I could understand Olivia’s struggle, but at the same time, I couldn’t ignore what had happened to Thea. She was still trembling against me, and her well-being had to come first.Taking a deep breath, I rose to my feet, gen
The sterile, clinical scent of the pack doctor’s office filled my senses as I sat in the examination room, the hum of fluorescent lights overhead doing little to calm my nerves. The polished white walls seemed to close in on me, cold and indifferent. It had been hours since the tests started—bloodwo
The night felt unusually still, the kind of quiet that made you feel like the world was holding its breath. I sat at my desk, staring at the letter before me. Its content was simple enough—an apology signed by Elijah—but the handwriting was unmistakably Thea’s.A smile tugged at my lips as I recogni
“Elijah?” I whispered, feeling the energy around us shift.He didn’t answer at first, his eyes locked on the moon outside, his body tense. For the briefest moment, I thought I saw something more—an aura of power radiating from him, something ancient and raw. The intensity of it sent a shiver down my
I couldn’t shake the mix of emotions swirling inside me as I walked through the gleaming corridors of Silvermoon, heading toward the design department. After everything that had happened with Elijah since I’d met him—the tension, misunderstandings, and heartache—I found myself tasked with reviving t
She didn’t respond, simply turned on her heel and walked away, leaving me standing there in the middle of the room, feeling a strange mix of triumph and anxiety.Elijah’s hand touched my back briefly, a gesture of reassurance.“You’ll be fine,” he murmured before stepping away. “I’ll leave you to it
Melinda’s gaze hardened, and I could see the resistance in her eyes.“And you think you’re the one to restore it?”Before I could respond, a softer voice cut through the tension.“I think she’s right.”I turned to see a young woman standing near one of the design stations, her wide brown eyes filled
Our tension was broken by Katy barreling out of the office after me, her face flushed with excitement. Katy caught sight of him too and quickly waved. “She was amazing, Elijah! She really was!”Elijah’s lips curved into a small smile, but his eyes never left mine. “I knew she would be.”There was so
After a pause, he asked, “Are you happy?” Happy. The word sat heavily in my mind, especially after everything I’d just witnessed with Elijah and Olivia. Happiness seemed like a mirage, close enough to glimpse but always out of reach. “I have moments of happiness,” I admitted, choosing my words c
The moment I stepped into the design studio, I knew this was going to be a confrontation I couldn’t avoid. Ava stood by the workstation, her arms crossed and a self-satisfied smirk on her face as she blocked the approval process for the collection yet again. “Ava, I need those designs approved tod
The announcement hit like a slap across the face. I’d been savoring a rare moment of peace with my morning coffee when I saw the headline: Silvermoon’s Muse Olivia to Launch Her Own High-End Fashion Line. The article was filled with praise for Olivia’s upcoming luxury designs, and she’d thrown
I exhaled, the tension in my shoulders easing. “She’s never going to stop, is she?” Elijah’s hand brushed lightly against mine—a subtle but reassuring gesture. “I’ll make sure she doesn’t get in your way.” His promise comforted me, but also made my heart skip a beat. Elijah was protective, a
Returning from vacation felt surreal. The memory of Elijah’s touch, his lips close to mine, and the charged moment at the casino replayed in my mind, making me blush just thinking about it. The media hadn’t held back, either. Photos of our kiss spread like wildfire, sparking a whirlwind of specula
Agnes The casino lights pulsed around me, an endless blur of color and sound, but all I could focus on was the knot of tension coiled in my chest. My encounter with Olivia and Noah left me feeling trapped, an unwilling player caught in the crossfire of their games. For a moment, it was overwhelmin
“Relax,” Noah chuckled, holding his hands up in a mock gesture of surrender. “It’s all in good fun. Just a friendly word of advice.” His gaze drifted to Agnes, and I didn’t like the way he looked at her—like she was some kind of prize. My wolf stirred, a deep growl building in the back of my mind
Elijah The steady roar of waves echoed behind us as I led Agnes back to the shore, Thea darting ahead with boundless energy. We had come to the beach to escape the endless comments and criticisms on social media, the sneering responses to Agnes’s ideas and our relationship. Yet here, amidst the ca
Elijah's voice was calm, reassuring as he looked at me with that steady, unwavering gaze that seemed to anchor everything. “Don’t let it get to you,” he said gently, the edges of a quiet smile softening his face. “Time will reveal the truth, Agnes. Just remember—victory belongs to the prepared.”
