XADENShe hated me, that much was obvious. The anger radiating off her in waves was unmistakable. But despite the chaos surrounding us, they were here with me— my daughter and my mate. For the moment, that was all I could ask for. I’d brought them to one of my properties. It was a secluded place I’d kept so I could come to unwind, away from any madness,– which had basically become the constant in my life– not as grand as my primary home, but it was comfortable, quiet, and… mine.Funnily enough, Celeste had never set foot in this place but I’d still kept our picture up. For appearance's sake, especially with my status as Alpha. Just in case an ally or someone important came by. I needed to maintain the illusion that I was happily married. But the truth was, I’d been living here alone for the past two years, ever since Soraya left. Two long years of trying to piece together why she'd vanished without a trace. Afterward, I simply couldn’t stomach being in the same house with Celeste any

SORAYAHaving to settle into a new and foreign home had me feeling out of place. It was undeniably spacious, much more so than Jeremy's smaller place. But I preferred to think of Jeremy's place as cozy, and I’d come to love it over the past two years. No matter how nice Xaden's place was, I wasn't used to it. It wasn't home.And Xaden… being in his space again after all this time brought a wave of emotions I wasn't prepared for. I didn't know what to expect from him. My mind raced, tangling in a web of conflicting thoughts: Did he really not know I’d been in his office that day? The surrogacy contract… the threat of taking my child away… Had he really not planned to force me into any of that? My chest tightened, a hard knot forming beneath my ribs. Had I been wrong about everything all along? It all began to seem so clear, and more doubt crept in— pressing itself painfully against my chest. What if I’d been wrong about him? That would mean…No.I refused to think down that path. E

SORAYA“I… I’m sorry, Soraya. For everything.” The words hung in the air between us, but I didn’t reply, refusing to engage with him. After all there was nothing to say. It wasn't like he would let Kaylee and I go because he was ‘sorry’.I stood up, gathered the plates– still refusing to look at him–, and finally managed to put them in the stupid high tech dishwasher. It was to his credit he didn't try to undermine me by ‘helping’.I snatched Kaylee up and retired to the bedroom I’d chosen for us. I couldn’t deal with him right now— I was done dealing with him for the day. My emotions were raw and my head was a mess.I occupied my raging mind by bathing Kaylee and getting her ready for bed. It was still early— just after 4pm, but our day had been so tumultuous, I wanted us to go to bed early. If only for the reason that I wanted to slip into a dreamless sleep where I wouldn't remember how terribly upside down my life now was.Just as I set her down for her nap, my phone buzzed from t

XADENMy gaze fixed on the divorce papers spread out on the table before me, the words blurring— after two years of staring at the same lines for what felt like the millionth time.I probably had it memorized by now— every sentence a reminder of the nightmare I had been trapped in— a marriage without any semblance of love or happiness; formed out of convenience and solely held together by Celeste’s desperation. And Celeste had never signed them. Every time, she’d waved them off, her excuse being the same: "You haven’t found your mate yet, you're going to be an Alpha without a wife?" And she always seemed to take delight in pointing out that it was the only prerequisite for a divorce, in the marriage contract we'd signed.But now, the relief I had been chasing for so long was within reach. I had found my mate— two years ago, in fact— and it was time for this charade to end. I couldn't hold back anymore. I needed to be with Soraya. I needed to be with my daughter.When I got to the ho

XADENCeleste grabbed the papers and, in a fit of frustration, tore them apart, scattering the pieces across the floor.My temper snapped. I had tried to be civil about this. I wanted this to happen quickly, quietly, and without any unnecessary conflict. But it was clear now— this wasn't going to be easy. Celeste was going to fight me every step of the way.I clenched my fists, trying to rein in my anger. “Fine,” I said coldly. “You want to drag this out? Fine. But I’m taking this to the council. They’ll decide, and we both know how that’ll go.”I pulled out my phone and called my lawyer— my friend, Marcus. As soon as he picked up, I gave him the rundown.“Celeste refused to sign the papers,” I told him, pacing around the room while Celeste glared at me, all both frothing from the mouth.“Nothing new.” He sighed.“Yeah, we’ll have to go to the council. Meet me tomorrow. We’ll get this settled.”Marcus agreed, and I hung up the phone. I didn’t even look at Celeste as I left the house,

SORAYASchool. Just like that. Again.So I was supposed to pick up from where I’d left off.But two years had literally gone by already. How could I catch up? And would I even be able to keep up? I sighed, wondering why Xaden hadn’t just suggested I get a job instead— not that I even had much to offer with my limited experience. I sighed frustratedly, my heart beating wildly and my body feeling a tad clammy.He'd mentioned that my scholarship was still available, that he'd ensured it had been kept so— He must’ve done a background check on me when I ‘suddenly disappeared’. The thought made my stomach churn. Had he always known he’d find me? Had this just been a part of his plan all along?And Kaylee... It was almost like tearing away a part of me and leaving it behind. I knew he was her father and practically her lapdog as a result but I just couldn't shake off the feeling. I'd been Kaylee's only option for so long, taking me out of any of her equations just seemed so… unnatural.I kne

SORAYAI had only been back for a short while, and all I really wanted was for things to remain peaceful. The one thing I'd dreaded since the day I arrived was running into Celeste— with her icy presence and the fakest perfect smile ever. I hoped to avoid it at all costs. I’d also hoped she'd stay far away— preferably from me and everywhere else I might be, especially at school, but my worst fear since returning to the pack materialized.In truth, the day had started out well enough. I blended in with the sea of students almost perfectly just the way I’d hoped I would— the way I always tried to. I slipped through the hallways unnoticed and no one even paid me any real attention, which was a huge relief. Classes went smoothly, and for a brief moment, I’d actually felt like I could pull it all off. I made it through the first class without a hitch, and the sense of relief was overwhelming. I might have even smiled. I should have known that the peace would be short-lived. That sooner

SORAYAShe was not close to getting done. She was going to stip me with her words now.“She found her way two years ago into my husband's bed.” She swallowed as though this was difficult for her. Students were already gasping.“Yes, she slept with your Alpha— my husband.” Her words were sharp, dripping with disdain.The furious whispers were like a roaring flood in my ears and I almost didn't realise as my mouth fell open, every part of my body going numb. No..“Then, she disappeared without a trace. Abandoning the pack and leaving her studies. I was devastated when I found out but I thought her leaving was for the best. I'd thought it was over, but now she’s back. With the audacity to walk these halls like one of you…” She sniffled dramatically, dabbing at eyes— playing out the part of the heartbroken wife flawlessly and drawing out the compassion and sympathy of the audience. "...to continue her education here as if nothing happened.” Was that an actual tear? Goddess, she was good.

SORAYAI tried to make a stance and defend myself to the best of my abilities. I wished with more than anything in me that Xaden would find me right now. I could really use the help. I watched as the Rogue continued to run at me, preparing to pounce. He came at me, claws first as he dove over a vehicle that separated us. I closed my eyes out of instinct as I waited for the killing blow. It never came. All I heard was a sharp wince that seemed to come from the Rogue as it collided with something—or someone.I opened my eyes, promptly locating the rogue on the pavement. He was been pounced on by someone. I couldn’t make out who exactly but I silently thanked them—feeling extremely lucky for their timely intervention.I moved slowly towards them and I noticed that it was a woman. She continued to beat the Rogue savagely. Clawing and biting at it with every intention of killing him. When the Rogue stopped struggling, probably from passing out or dying, I tried to thank her for coming to

SORAYAI quickly located the car in Xaden’s parking spot after a brief glance around the lot. It was a little corner spot that overlooked the faculty and I made my way to it before unlocking the trunk. I retrieved two large picnic baskets and set them down gently on the floor beside the car.It was really nice being out of the house again. Kaylee definitely needed it but I may have needed it more. The poor kid, it’s unfortunate she has to grow up in such less than ideal conditions. But at least for today, she could be happy playing in the sun and feeling the wind on her face. The atmosphere was clear and the sky was blue with very few clouds, it was perfect for a little family day out. The morning sun shone brightly, it’s golden rays sparkled with radiance. I felt renewed and content. Life couldn’t be better. Our enemies seem to have all been defeated and the pack finally accepted me as their Luna—I couldn’t explain the feeling I felt. Celeste had been banished, along with her father

MALCOLM“Can I see some Identification?”“Definitely. Uhh...let me check...” I stumbled through my jacket pocket and retrieved my business card. It still had the dark moon insignia from our previous business together.Thank the blessed goddess.She picked up the card and glossed over it intently, resigning only when she found no faults with it.“Well, it seems authentic to me Mr Malcolm. Being affiliated with a pack, especially one as influential as the Dark moon pack, gives you certain privileges.” She started as she folded her arms across her chest. “One of those privileges is free passage to and from the borderlands as long as you don’t plan to stir up any troubles there. However, it is my job to keep you informed on how dangerous a place it can be.” She said, looking up again. “Everyday, we are swarmed with reports of many going in, and only very few returning. Do you understand what I’m saying Mr. Malcolm?” She inquired as she made eye contact with me. I remained silent. I knew t

MALCOLMI mustn’t fail her. I must not fail Celeste again. I thought to myself as I made my way to the corner closet. I had to get her the yellow wolf’s bane even if it meant breaking the rules and crossing the border.Failing her would basically spell doom for me. Money was drying up fast and the business was basically dead in the water. Those spineless cowards! The community Pack leaders and the Alphas. Refusing to do business with me because they were afraid of him. Afraid of that bastard Xaden! I sighed at my impossible situation, knowing it was all my doing. This was all by my design. They would however be sorry in the end. Those spineless fools! When Xaden was finally back on my side. They would then understand the true meaning of pain.I drew out a large suitcase out of the closet. I didn’t know how long I was going to be gone. It was going to be dangerous. But I needed this. Desperate times required that I suck it up and get my ass across the border.What had I been thinking?

JEREMY“Where are you?” I asked, speaking into my phone and attempting to dust off my shoes as I entered the building. It was futile. I disposed of them and put on some hiking boots that had been left by some of the other groundskeepers. He was holed up in the basement. I found a small flashlight and went down the flight of stairs. “Cyrus..” I called out, peering in the dark and reaching for a light switch. Turning it on, the dark and dingy basement came to full view, completely lighting up. I spotted Cyrus sitting in a corner of the basement, clutching tightly to a steel black box. He was bruised and bloodied badly, looking quite roughed up.“Boss..” He managed to call out to me as he fumbled to get to his feet. He placed the box on a wooden slab, turning it to face me.“What the fuck happened, Cyrus?” I looked him over. He seemed to be healing but not quite fast enough. His jacket was completely shredded and he seemed to have lost an eye. I looked over at the box. I picked it up a

JEREMY“Take me back to the compound!” I said to the driver as I walked out the cemetery gate. I had been quiet in my arrival, slowly creeping up on him, startling him. He was leaning over the bonnet, probably smoking.“Arrgh...yes Sir...right away sir.” He said, dusting off the ashes and crushing the cigarette butt.It had such a rancid smell.“You were gone for quite sometime sir. I was beginning to worry but you’ve warned me never to interrupt you when you visited, no matter what.” He said looking at me and gesturing me into the car as he pulled the door open.“Yes I was and you were right not to disturb me.” I said, looking up at him. “I took sometime because I needed to take sometime and that’s the end of it.” I said, making my way into the car and pulling my phone out from my pocket as he locked the door.“Yes sir.” He said and made his way to the driver seat. I had indeed taken quite some time. The sun had set already and we slowly approached twilight. The autumn falls made e

CELESTEThe things I had done for him. He drove me so crazy and what was crazier still, was that I would do it all over again without missing a beat. That was how much I wanted to be with him.My train of thought were completely cut off by movements in the front porch. I heard someone stumbling against the door. It was probably my father again. He had been a loose cannon of recent, drinking himself rotten, only able to feel a little buzz with each binge. He was taking it hard. Business had basically grinded to a stop as he could no longer namedrop Xaden to the surrounding communal packs. He had become a disgrace, a pariah, almost executed even had it not been for the benevolence of Xaden and my own naïvety. The packs didn’t want to work with him for fear of Xaden and the humans would not work with him for fear of the packs. He was lost.It was his fault. I thought callously as I finished the last bit of scotch in my glass. He was a stupid man and the architect of his own misfortune. W

CELESTEThings had begun to fall pleasantly into place and it seemed like for once, the fates were finally on my side. I thought to myself as I took a swig of scotch before setting the glass on the counter. The bottle was almost empty and I let out a low growl—father couldn’t even afford to replace our liquor anymore.I poured myself another cup and made my way to the couch, kicking off my shoes and reclining into the sofa.The moon goddess was however very gracious to me. Even from the point of despair and sadness, a ray of hope seemed to burst through, casting away the shadows and banishing my worries.Jeremy. I thought to myself trying to remember the series of events that had led up to today’s meeting.I had been so down and bad, almost depressed to an inch of my life—how had things gotten so bad, so fast? I had it all. Everything I could have ever wanted lay in my hands and I lost it. I still could hardly believe it. Where had it gone oh so wrong?Soraya. I bit my lip at the thou

XADEN“Well hello Mr. Professor.” Soraya said, fondling the threads on my robe and wearing a mischievous grin. She drew me closer for another passionate kiss. “Lupine would be perfect for a little picnic and Kaylee could play with other kids.” She said as she hugged me tight. She had needed this. “Thank you Xaden. I’ll go get dressed.” And like that, she was gone. Hurriedly making her way upstairs.“And I’ll get the car ready!” I managed to call out after her before looking over to Kaylee. She was playing with her spork, messing up her leftovers.“And as for you little lady...” I begun, picking her up. She giggled loudly.“...we’re going to get you in a nice little dress.” She was on my shoulders again and we headed for the nursery. I could only stare blankly, in total awe, as Soraya made her way down the stairs. She was wearing a bright yellow maiden gown and a sky blue cashmere scarf. Both colors looked marvelous on her and she was radiant. I could fall in love with her all over aga
