Edeline 

I climbed the forest trail that ran beside the waterfall, my eyes blurry, stinging from the tears that hadn’t quite fallen yet. Tucked under my arm was the trunk. The one full of memories. Heavy and aching like my chest.

My mind kept circling back to Darius.

We used to laugh at the dumbest things, like really laugh. The kind that makes your ribs hurt. The first time I ever saw him cry was during The Notebook—he tried to hide it, but I caught him. The last time he cried was on his seventeenth birthday, the day he shifted for the first time.

He told me it was no big deal. That the pain wasn’t all that bad.

But when I went throu

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 19: GHOST OF A BEST FRIEND

    Edeline“Darius,” I said, voice trembling, “I wish I knew what really happened. Why you hid it from me. Why you got sick, why you never told me. I’ve got so many questions and I’m terrified I’ll never get answers. I don’t know if you’ll be there when I meet the moon... I don’t even know if you're really gone. But wherever you are, I hope you found peace. I hope... you’re with your mate now.”My throat tightened. My voice dropped to a whisper.“Why’d you do it, D?” A sob escaped before I could stop it. “Why’d you kill her? Why’d you get so obsessed with me? We were best friends. That’s all I ever saw us as. You were supposed to be my rock. My safe space. When... w

    EdelineA long silence passed between us.“So yes,” he finally admitted, “I started working with Tatiana. I told myself it was strategic. I told myself it was for you. But the truth is... I just wanted to win. I wanted you, Edeline. I wanted you so fucking bad. But I was sick. My mind... it was never right.”He looked haunted now—so much older than I remembered.“When I met my mate, I told myself it was a second chance. That I’d find someone else to build a future with. But she wasn’t you. And that twisted part of me… it started to resent her. I convinced myself she was the obstacle. That she’d steal my last chance with you.”&nbs

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 1: A LUNA’S SHAME

    EdelineI stepped out of the bathroom, steam rolling out behind me like smoke. The air hit me—hot, sticky, thick. Not just from the shower, though. It was something else. Something buzzing under my skin that I couldn’t shake.My eyes drifted around the room, and it finally clicked.Percival’s room.Same bold colors—red, black, white. Clean. Sharp lines. Familiar. Way too familiar.So this is where he brought me. Back to where he grew up. Where his parents still live. Where Darius is. Great. Just perfect.And now my second heat’s here. Again.I felt it building before, sure, but now? There’s no hiding it. There’s no escaping it now—not when my body is radiating pheromones, an irresistible call to every unmated male in the vicinity. I’m supposed to be a Luna. An elite warrior. I’ve fought battles most wouldn’t even survive. But right now? That doesn’t matter. Not to them. All they’ll see is a female in heat—good for breeding, good for making strong pups. That’s all they care about. T

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 2: THE LUNA TRAP

    PercivalThree damn days.We’ve been holed up in my family’s old estate, shut away from the rest of the world. I let her claim every inch of the place. Every wall, every floor, every surface—marked with our scent. This house didn’t just smell like us... it reeked of us. Of need. Of sweat. Of release.That was kind of the point. I wanted this to be our place. A quiet spot away from the pack’s nosy eyes and ears. Just the two of us.If she’d let me... I’d keep her here forever.She stirred, her cheeks flushed and lips red and kiss-swollen, blinking those green eyes up at me. The fever hadn’t fully passed yet, but we were close. Real close.This was the last stretch. I could feel it.And for the first time in days, I could think straight. Her scent wasn’t fogging up my damn brain as badly. I had just enough clarity this morning to realize something.There’s a 99.9% chance she’s pregnant.I checked everything. Looked through every drawer in this place, called every number I could find. No

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 3: EDELINE’S SCENT

    PercivalDragging my hands through my hair, I let out a long, tired sigh. Just once—just one fucking time—I wanted something to go smoothly.She was probably headed to her parents’ house. Somewhere safe. Somewhere that didn’t have me.Fine. Let her go for now. I wasn’t gonna let her spiral alone forever.It was time I checked the damage. She’d said she wasn’t gonna leave again. I planned to hold her to that. But first, maybe I’d give her a little space—and give myself a second to breathe.I dressed fast, then shot out the door, sprinting all the way to the packhouse. The scent of breakfast still clung to the air.As I stepped into the dining hall, every head turned. Conversations halted mid-sentence. Eyes went wide. A wave of tension hit the room like a damn bomb.Right. I forgot… an alpha male with a potentially pregnant mate? That’s a special kind of dangerous.Everyone looked like they were calculating how to not piss me off. Smart move.My mind drifted—was she pregnant? No idea. B

    PercivalI stared down at her—small, almost fragile—totally stunned. “Annabel? What the hell are you doing here?”My mom walked into the room slowly, like the weight of the world was dragging her down. Her belly was just starting to show, barely noticeable unless you knew she was pregnant. She let out a long, exhausted sigh and dropped herself into the chair by the window, rubbing her stomach like it could soothe more than just physical discomfort.“I’m still your mother, Percival,” she said softly, giving me this wistful smile. Her fingers ran over her hair, the same dark strands pinned up in that signature chignon of hers. “You look... different. Taller. Stronger. Handsome too. You finally look like the Alpha I always knew you’d be.”I didn’t say anything. Just stared at her, unsure if I had the patience for this right now. “Look, I—”“Percival.” Her voice cracked, and those icy blue eyes—same ones I used to see above my crib—locked on mine. “I carried you. I gave birth to you. Yo

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 5: NOT READY, BUT NOT ALONE

    Edeline Tempo.Running always helps when my brain’s a mess.When I started spiraling this morning—panic attack, full-blown anxiety about Percival—I ended up crashing at my parents’ place. Couldn’t stay with him. Not while my thoughts were drowning in what-ifs and maybes and… the terrifying possibility that I might be pregnant.Seriously, what is it with the moon knocking up every female I know?! Like, calm down, lady.I’m not supposed to be pregnant. Right?But… what if I am?If that’s really the case, then I have to step up. Be a damn good mom. And that means talking to Percival. We need to have that talk. No running, no hiding. I know it was immature, disappearing on him like that. I just— I panicked. I get overwhelmed and I shut down. Space helps me think.Except, today, I’ve had all the space in the world, and my mind still feels like a tornado spinning full force. I’ve been pacing like crazy and still haven’t sorted a thing out.Then there was a knock at the door.“Edeline?”

    EdelineI might’ve been hormonal and dramatic, but his words made me feel a little better. Still... Nixx had been through a lot too.I turned to him, curiosity flickering. “How did you get out of that mess without tearing everyone apart?”He dragged my hand into his and thought for a second. “Well, when I heard what happened, I just... I knew I had to get stronger. For Tatiana, for you, for me. So after everything went down, I went straight to Williams. He lives across the lake, and I’ve been training with him. My pack... well, we don’t exactly mix with wolves from other packs too well. But Williams, he’s my biological father, and he’s Alpha blood, so I can be with him. He’s been helping me get stronger.

    EdelineI collapsed back onto the bed, my body drained. I felt a little guilty that I couldn’t give him what he wanted right away, but I knew this was one of his favorite things—to consume me.Like an endless feast.He finally pulled away, a smirk on his lips as he licked them clean. "You know you're incredibly delicious, right?"He crawled back up, kissing me softly before slipping his tongue into my mouth, letting me taste myself.I’ve always had a soft spot for honey.And this beast of an Alpha... he was kissing me like he couldn’t get enough, claiming me comp

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 16: KEEP YOUR HANDS THERE

    EdelineI laid back on the bed, completely bare, feeling the weight of the moment. My wolf inside me watched him, this powerful man, this mate of mine. I couldn't help but feel a little dizzy as I took him in—he was everything, big and strong, all ours.His muscles flexed as he breathed in deeply, like he was tasting the air. His body seemed to hum with the vibration of it all, especially when his eyes locked on me, on the part of me that was soaking with desire. I could feel the pull between us, the chemistry.He moistened his lips, his voice rough, "You smell so damn good," he growled, moving over me, not quite between my legs, but close enough to make my heart race. He leaned down, his body pressing against mine. I breathed him in, feeling his skin, his warmth

    EdelineHis lips found their way to my chest, sucking gently, and I couldn’t help the soft murmur that escaped me. I moved against him, desperate for more, pressing into his hard body as I ground against him. The low groan that rumbled in his chest sent vibrations straight through me. His hand moved up, lifting the hem of my shirt as I complied, letting him expose me to him completely.With a sharp tug, he pulled my shirt away, my breath catching as I felt the cool air on my skin. He looked down at me, his eyes dark with desire, then murmured against my skin, “Much better.”I could feel myself heating up, my body reacting to every touch. There was no way I was stopping this now, not when my body craved him like this. I whispered his name, breathless,

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 14: WHEN LOVE FEELS LIKE WAR

    EdelineOver breakfast, we talked about my parents—how they acted like two teenagers head over heels. We laughed about it, and then he got quiet. Told me his mom had stopped by. That she wanted him to bond with his younger brother. That she missed him, wanted to make things right. But he couldn’t bring himself to forgive her, even though he knew he probably should.Hearing that? It broke my heart a little. Realizing who she truly was, behind the mask of a loving Luna… It must’ve shattered something deep inside him.“The mating picnic will be attended by both Conor and Maximus’s pack. They’re expected to arrive today,” Percival said, watching me carefully, clearly gauging my reaction.

  • Curse of the Reclaimed Alpha   CHAPTER 13: GOOD GIRLS DON’T

    EdelineThat familiar scent wrapped around me, comforting and arousing all at once. His lips ghosted across my skin, barely touching. I shivered.“They went out for breakfast,” he murmured, voice low and smug. “I was gonna bring you breakfast in bed, but I should’ve known the smell of bacon would drag you out of hiding.”God. He was perfect. He smelled like heaven, looked like sin, and touched me like he already knew exactly how to make me fall apart.And my wolf—oh, that little rebel—was throwing every image she had straight into Percival’s head. What I wanted to do. Where I wanted to be touched. How I wanted him inside me.

Like, genuinely calm.It was as if everything—the chaos, the heartbreak, Percival’s memories of that whole hellish mess—had drifted far, far away.Last night really helped.But let’s be real—I’m not stupid. I know pain doesn’t just vanish. And I still need him to show me he’s in this for real. That he’s not going to break me again. Deep down, I know he’s good. He’s a kind wolf. So it’s not that I don’t want this matebond. It’s just...
