As the incessant ringing of Rafe's phone pierced the tranquil air of the bedroom, both he and Delia stirred from their slumber.

Delia was nestled against Rafe, his nose buried in her hair, inhaling her snowy scent and lulling his beast into a state of calm.

With a groggy murmur, Rafe reached for his phone, his senses sharpening as he saw Natasha's name flashing on the screen. He sat up with a jerk.

Delia turned over at his sudden movement and caught glimpse of the caller name on his phone.

“I need to get this”, Rafe mumbled and hurriedly stepped out onto the balcony to take the call, leaving Delia staring after him.

“Natasha, where are you?" Rafe's voice carried a tinge of urgency as he answered.

Natasha's cheerful tone resonated through the line. "Hello to you too Rafe! I'm back in St. Germain. I figured there was no point in lingering there since you'll be joining me here for the Full Moon Festival tomorrow."

Rafe responded, “I see..”

“I saw your missed calls from

    As Nate guided Delia to an empty table, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped them. Delia caught Phillip’s eye as she sat down and gave him a small wave. Phillip nodded in acknowledgment, his eyes lingering on them with curiosity. Nate stepped away briefly to order their coffees and returned with two steaming cups, placing one before her. Delia offered him a small, appreciative smile, as she noted that he remembered what she liked and got her a cup of cappuccino. Sitting down opposite her, Nate's gaze softened as he searched her face. "Delia, about the other day..," he began, his voice sincere. "I'm sorry for the way I behaved. It's just that I do care about you and this situation with Natasha and Rafe... I can't help but think you might end up with the short end of the stick." Delia listened quietly, absorbing Nate's words, wondering if he was correct. “It’s okay, Nate," she replied softly, meeting his gaze. “I know you didn't mean any harm. Our friendship means a l

  • I Got You - Coastal Wolves Series   The Lady in Green

    As the day of the Full Moon Festival approached, Delia had successfully evaded a confrontation with Rafe, mainly by hiding in her new room at the mansion for the past two days. Rafe had come by occasionally, trying to coax her into letting him in but she iced him out. As long as he was still going with Natasha, she had nothing to say to him. She remained steadfast in her decision, refusing to engage with him despite his persistent attempts. The only visitor she allowed was Ethan. Delia had confided to him about the entire situation and while Ethan had been disappointed by Rafe’s actions, a part of him understood his reasoning behind it. Delia, however, had not been able to tell Ethan she was going to the festival.... with Nate! She knew that everyone assumed she would just avoid the event based on how she felt about the entire situation. On the day of the festival, she sat quietly by her window, her gaze fixated on the breathtaking sight of the sun sinking into the vast expan

    Delia arrived at the marina and parked her car, her gaze immediately drawn to the large yacht docked nearby. She recognized it as Nate’s from the Jackson & Associates’ logo and it being the only one left at the marina. As she made her way towards the vessel, she saw Nate descending to meet her, his eyes fixed on her in admiration. “Delia, you look stunning, darling," Nate exclaimed as he reached her, taking her hands and admiring her from head to toe. “Thank you," Delia murmured, feeling a bit uncomfortable under his intense gaze. Nate shook his head slightly, as if to snap out of his reverie, and gestured for her to follow him onto the boat. "This way," he said with a smile. Once aboard, the captain set sail as Nate led Delia inside the cabin, which was elegantly fitted with plush seating and a bar in the corner. “Would you like some champagne?" Nate offered, gesturing towards the well-stocked bar that held a bottle of Dom Perignon in an ice bucket. Delia nodded, a small s

    As Rafe and Natasha took the stage, Delia remained transfixed in her spot, unable to tear her gaze away. Rafe still wore the same suit he had on earlier that evening, with the burgundy tie that somehow perfectly matched Natasha’s dress. It was a subtle yet unmistakable announcement of their supposed couplehood, conveyed through coordinated attire. Delia had anticipated attending the event and showing Rafe what he was missing, but the pang of hurt she felt seeing them together caught her off guard. It was one thing to intellectually prepare for the situation, but witnessing it unfold before her eyes stirred up a tumult of emotions she wasn’t prepared for. As if sensing her presence, Rafe looked up and caught her eyes, momentarily surprised to see her here standing with Aria and Ethan. He could see the hurt in her eyes and swallowed the guilt he felt inwardly. He wished she weren’t here to cause herself this pain. Despite everything, his heart yearned for her, and seeing her here

    As Rafe found himself in the midst of a throng of people wishing congratulations to him and Natasha, his mind was elsewhere...Delia! Natasha, dressed elegantly beside him, smiled and graciously accepted the attention, her demeanor poised and charming. Rafe kept up the charade as he thanked those who approached them. However, his silver eyes kept scanning the sea of faces, searching for a way to escape the relentless attention. Spotting an opening near a cluster of potted plants at the edge of the garden, Rafe subtly maneuvered Natasha towards the quieter area. With a polite excuse about needing a moment to catch his breath, he gently extricated himself from Natasha's side, her hand briefly lingering on his arm before she turned her attention back to the guests. Once out of the immediate spotlight, Rafe took a deep breath, his shoulders relaxing marginally as he found a temporary respite from the overwhelming social interaction. Rafe stood there reflected on the events of the even

    Rafe stood there, his chest heaving with emotions he struggled to contain. The night air was heavy with tension, his senses heightened by the lingering scent of Delia. Nate glared at Rafe, then he turned around and stomped off in the opposite direction, back towards the festivities. Rafe clenched his fists, the urge to shift still simmering beneath his skin, but he held onto the last shreds of his human control. Nate's words echoed in his mind. "I know what you are, Rafe." It was a revelation that struck deep, shaking the very foundation of Rafe's world. How could Nate know? And what did he intend to do with that knowledge? These questions gnawed at him, but now wasn't the time to dwell on them. Delia had asked for space, and despite every fiber of his being urging him to go after her, he knew he had to respect her wishes. Alex’s voice broke through his thoughts. "Rafe," he said quietly, his expression a mix of concern. "Let's talk." Rafe turned to where Alex a

    As Aria’s mystery man disappeared in the shadows, Delia hurried over to Aria, placing a hand on her friend’s arm. “Are you okay? What was that about?”Aria hesitated, glancing toward where the man had vanished. “I’m fine,” she said quickly, but her voice betrayed her unease.“Aria,” Delia pressed, “Who was that? What did he want?”Aria looked away, biting her lip as if debating whether to speak. Finally, she sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly. “I can’t explain right now, Delia,” she said quietly. Delia nodded reluctantly. “Alright,” she said softly. “But if you need help, promise me you’ll come to me.”Aria offered a faint smile. “I will”, she said while raking her fingers through her wavy blonde hair. “I need a drink,” she muttered, clearly exasperated.Delia, still reeling from the events of the night, managed a weak laugh. “You and me both sister!,” she said. “After tonight, I think I deserve at least two.”Aria gave her a side glance, raising a brow. “So, I guess my brother

    After Aria left, Delia and Ethan had a few more drinks together whilst talking about the events of the night. Delia let out a tipsy laugh, nearly spilling what was left of her champagne. “I mean, who does Rafe think he is? Storming into that garden like some… like some overgrown wolf with a jealousy problem!” Ethan stayed quiet, his expression neutral, though there was a flicker of amusement in his eyes as he watched Delia rant. “And Natasha?” Delia continued, her voice louder than she realized. “What even is her deal? Parading around like some… like some cheap knockoff of a Bond villain!” Ethan raised an eyebrow. “A Bond villain?” he asked, unable to hide his grin. “Yes!” Delia declared, wobbling slightly as she pointed dramatically towards the party. “She has that whole ‘I’m better than everyone else’ aura, like she’s about to reveal some secret evil plan. Ugh, I really don’t like her and not because is supposedly engaged to Rafe.” Ethan chuckled softly, ca

    Once Simon was back on his battleship with an unconscious Delia in his arms, he moved swiftly through the deck, his boots thudding against the wooden planks. His grip on her was firm but careful, mindful of her injuries.He pushed through the infirmary doors, his voice cutting through the tense air.“Get the doctor. Now.”The nurses jumped into action, one of them sprinting down the corridor while Simon gently laid Delia onto an empty cot. She looked fragile under the harsh medical lights, her skin pale beneath the soot and grime. His jaw clenched. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.Within a minute, the doctor arrived and he wasted no time, kneeling beside Delia and inspecting her wounds.“Her leg is badly injured,” Simon muttered, his voice tight.The doctor worked quickly, his hands moving over Delia’s body with practiced efficiency. After a thorough check, he turned to a nurse. “Put her on oxygen. She’s weakened and has inhale a lot of smoke. If we don’t stabilize her soon

    The moment the scent of smoke reached Delia’s nose, a fresh wave of panic surged through her.A faint crackling sound reached her ears, followed by the distant shouts of men above deck. Heavy boots pounded against the wood, the sound chaotic—frantic.For a split second, she wondered—was this a rescue?Or something much worse?Delia scrambled to her feet, pressing her palms against the door. It was still locked, trapping her inside while something—someone—set the ship ablaze.She had to get out.If she didn’t get out, she’d burn with this damn ship.Sweat beaded on her forehead as she pressed her ear against the wooden door, her breath coming in shallow pants. The smoke was getting thicker, curling into the room like a living thing, its tendrils creeping up the walls, filling her lungs with every breath.Her fingers traced the door’s rough surface, her nails scraping at the old wood. She slammed the door again and again but no one seemed to hear her.She took a step back, then rammed h

    The crew parted as Delia was shoved forward, their yellow eyes gleaming in the dim lantern light. Some grinned, others eyed her like she was prey.But it was the man standing at the railing that held her attention. His stance was casual, hands resting lightly on the wooden railing, but Delia could tell immediately—he was dangerous.His sandy brown hair was wild from the wind, and when he finally turned, the glowing gold of his wolf eyes pierced through the darkness.He was tall, broad-shouldered, and despite the way he stood with ease, Delia’s sharp eyes caught the subtle stiffness in his posture. His shirt was dark, unbuttoned just enough to reveal the bloodstained bandages beneath it.He was injured and it had likely been when they attacked St. John.A flicker of satisfaction curled in her chest. So, they hadn’t won completely.“Ah,” the man finally murmured, a slow smirk curving his lips. “So, this is the infamous Delia.”She lifted her chin, refusing to show fear. “And you are?”H

    Delia kicked and thrashed, but the rogues’ grip on her was unyielding.The jungle floor was a blur beneath her as they dragged her through the dense undergrowth, her legs catching on roots and jagged rocks. Thorns scraped her exposed skin, but she barely felt the pain—her mind was in pure panic mode.“Let me go, you sick bastards!” she snapped, her breath coming in ragged gasps.The rogue on her left, a burly man with a thick scar down his cheek, barked out a laugh. “Feisty little thing, ain’t she?”The other, a wiry rogue with wild, matted hair, grinned. “Shame we ain’t allowed to have a little fun with her first.”Delia’s stomach twisted in revulsion.She jerked hard, trying to rip free, but the scarred rogue yanked her back so violently that her feet nearly lifted off the ground.“You’re making this real difficult for yourself, sweetheart,” he sneered. “I’d save your energy. You’re gonna need it.”She spat at him, her eyes blazing with fury. “Go to hell.”The rogue wiped the spit o

    Ethan sat near the grand windows of the mansion, his body tense as Alex’s mind-link echoed in his head.“Rafe’s been hit with wolfsbane. He’s unconscious. We’re taking him to the hospital now”A chill settled in his bones. Wolfsbane was no ordinary poison—it was lethal to werewolves, weakening them beyond recovery if not treated quickly. And if Rafe, their Alpha, had fallen in battle, the situation was even worse than he thought.But his biggest concern at the moment sat across from him.Delia was curled up on the couch, her slender fingers lightly tracing the spine of the book in her lap. Though her eyes were locked onto the pages, he could tell her mind was elsewhere. Probably on Rafe.Ethan swallowed. She didn’t know the truth.About Rafe. About werewolves. About the extent of the war that Rafe was fighting right outside these walls.And yet—he had to tell her something.Making a quick decision, he pulled out his phone, pretending to read a text. He needed an excuse. A human excuse

    Delia had gone back to Rafe’s room, but her mind refused to settle. She tried lying down, hoping exhaustion would take over, but with the sunlight streaming through the windows and her thoughts tangled in knots, sleep evaded her.She kept replaying everything—Riley’s call, the men looking for her, Rafe’s reaction when she told him. She had been about to tell him everything about her past when Alex interrupted.But the look on Alex’s face—something was wrong.Unable to shake the unease creeping up her spine, she paced the room, her bare feet padding softly against the cool floor.Then came a gentle knock on the door.Delia froze for a second before quickly walking over and pulling it open.Standing there was Ethan, his usual easygoing expression replaced with something more serious.“Hi, Ethan,” she greeted, scanning his face. “Something’s wrong, isn’t it?”Ethan gave her a small nod, not wanting to alarm her but also not willing to lie. “Yeah. But Rafe’s handling it.”Delia folded her

    Ring… ring… ring… Delia groaned softly, stirring from sleep as her phone vibrated insistently on the nightstand. Still half-asleep, she fumbled for it, squinting at the screen. Riley. A small frown creased her brow. Riley wasn’t supposed to call her. A sliver of unease crept into Delia’s chest as she swiped to answer. “Hello?” she murmured, her voice thick with sleep. “Delia.” Riley’s voice came through the line, tense and anxious. Delia sat up instantly, her heart pounding. “Riley? What’s wrong?” A sniffle. Then a shaky breath. “Oh, Delia…” Riley’s voice cracked. “I think they found me. The people who were looking for you.” Delia felt the blood drain from her face. “What? How? Tell me everything!” “I don’t know,” Riley’s voice wavered. “I was headed home from work and stopped by the corner store to grab some milk. When I looked out the window, I saw them—two men standing right outside my building.” Delia’s grip tightened around the phone. “Are you sure it was them?

    After Rafe and Delia finally showered, he carried her into the bedroom, his arms strong and steady as she nestled against him. The moment they reached the bed, the world outside ceased to exist. They made love with an unrelenting passion, their bodies drawn together like magnets. Time blurred as their desire seemed endless, and the day melted into night. They were insatiable, exploring every inch of each other, their connection deepening with every touch, every whispered word, and every shared breath. It wasn’t until the first rays of morning sunlight spilled into the room that they finally surrendered to exhaustion. Delia lay curled up in the sheets, her soft, steady breaths signaling her deep sleep. Rafe watched her for a moment, his heart swelling with a mixture of pride and affection. A sudden twinge in his mind broke through the peaceful moment—a mind link from Alex. “Rafe, we need to meet. It’s urgent.” Rafe sighed, already knowing the responsibilities of his positio

    As Rafe’s lips pressed against hers, Delia gasped softly, her hands threading into his damp hair. “Rafe…” she whispered breaking off, her voice trembling with a mix of emotions she couldn’t yet name. He pulled back slightly, his breath hot against her. “I’ve missed you, Delia,” he said, his voice husky, filled with raw honesty. “I’ve missed every part of you.” Her heart raced, each beat echoing in her ears. “Rafe,” she whispered, as she reached up to cradle his cheek. Her eyes locked with his, brimming with unspoken longing. “I’ve missed you too—so much.” Before the words could fully settle between them, their lips met again, this time with a fevered urgency. The kiss deepened, filled with the raw passion as their bodies were drawn together as though nothing else in the world existed. Rafe pressed Delia firmly against the cool bathroom wall, her back arching as the contrast of heat and cold sent shivers through her. A soft moan slipped from her lips. Rafe’s lips moved down
