Kessler's expression softened as he looked at me, concern evident in his eyes. "I heard you crying out in your sleep," he explained gently. "I wanted to make sure you were okay."Still shaken and unsure of how to respond, I hesitated before finally speaking. "Thank you," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.He nodded in response, and a sense of relief washed over him. Watching him stride to the door, I feel a pang of regret. Despite everything, there was still a part of me that longed for his presence.I got up and went to the bathroom, splashing some water on my face as I stared at myself in the mirror. After drying my face with a towel, I walked back to my room.Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I realized I needed to do something spontaneous. For once, I had to set aside all the emotions I'd been holding inside. I needed to forget about my uncle, my mom, Kessler, Tristan, and even Annie. It was time to break free from the rollercoaster of emotions they had put me through.

Julie stayed by my side the whole time, helping me get to know the city better.I still couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched, but then some news caught my attention. Kessler Frodd is engaged to a supermodel named Annie Baynes. They've been dating for a while, and there were even pictures of them together, kissing passionately at an event.The image of Kessler and Annie kissing was displayed for everyone to see. The news continued.As I processed the news, disbelief, anger, and a sense of betrayal all mingled together, knowing that Kessler was now engaged to Annie.After his wife passed away, he had avoided dating and relationships, so the news of his engagement came as a shock to us. Their engagement party is slated for the following week. The news anchor continued.A Sharp pain pierced my chest. I stumbled, almost falling, but Julie caught me."Are you okay?" Julie asked, her voice filled with concern as she noticed my distress.I shook my head silently, unable to find the

But on second thought, I decided not to. What evidence do I need again? They were lovers, but for how long, I can't tell.Again, I was tired and hungry. I didn't have an idea where Julie was; we might have lost each other while I was occupied with my uncle and my mother.I promised myself to have fun and wouldn't let anything get in my way. So, I made my way to a restaurant. I had blocked all mind links so no one could get to me.I just want to be on my own for now, so I ordered a bowl of tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.My stomach growled with anticipation as the food arrived, and I felt pleased. I muttered a thank you to the waiter and eagerly dug into my meal.Once done with my food, I took to the city without having anywhere in mind to go. Today's events had left my thoughts in disarray.First, Kessler's engagement to Annie. He marked me and chose to engage someone else. I rubbed the mark slightly, feeling some sparks.My mind raced with thoughts. How could my mothe

"Fucking get away from her right now!" His voice thunders over the blaring music, sending shivers down my spine.I gasp as his gaze lands on me, feeling a wave of self-disgust wash over me.His jaw clenches so tightly that I can hear his teeth grinding as he forcefully pushes the stranger away from me.

But his arm wraps around my waist, pulling me back into his grasp. A surge of electricity erupts around me, igniting a spark.I struggle against his hold. "Let me go!" I plead. His grip tightens, sending a shiver down my spine. I can

I struggle to stifle my sobs when I remember the guy at the club. I wonder if he's still alive and if I'll ever be able to live with the fact that a man died because of my reckless actions.I was furious, yeah, but is that enough reason to kiss another guy? The thought of it makes me utterly disgusted with myself.How could I have been so careless, so thoughtless? Each passing moment I'm haunted by the image of his face.With a tight fist, he started the engine, his jaw clenched, gripping the steering wheel like he was ready to tear it off the dashboard. He was beyond furious.He zoomed off at a breakneck speed, and my heart leaped into my throat. I gripped the door tightly, my eyes squeezed shut in terror, feeling every twist and turn of his driving.My knuckles turned white as I clung desperately to the door handle, the rush of wind whipping through the open window. Fear beat through my veins.I dared to steal a glance at him, his face a mask of fury, eyes fixed ahead. It was as if n

I gave a soft knock, and then the door flew open, revealing Kessler. He left the door ajar as I walked in.He moved closer to me, and my heart almost jumped out of my chest in anxiety. He tugged my hair behind my ear, and I shivered just feeling him on my skin. I stumbled back, and sweat trickled down my neck.I swallowed hard, trying to quell the rising panic clawing at my throat. Every fiber of my being screamed to run, to escape the suffocating atmosphere enveloping us. But I was frozen, rooted to the spot by fear and uncertainty.As he reached out to touch me again, his fingertips grazing my skin, I flinched involuntarily. I struggled to maintain composure, to mask the turmoil within me.Our proximity made the liquid drop from my core. I stumbled back as my thigh hit the bed, his eyes narrow, searching my face.This wasn't what I was expecting from him. With the anger he unleashed on the guy at the club, Kessler could be many things, but I can't shake the feeling that something isn

The sight of him filling the room made Sasha whimper, and my core burned even hotter. I clenched my fists, hoping the intensity of the burn would ease. The mark on my neck only added to the agony; it stung with every move Kessler made toward me.Damn, this mate bond. Just seeing him makes me want to leap into his arms, but no matter how hard I try to suppress it, the mix of pain and pleasure is overwhelming.The struggle to resist was tearing me apart. I yearned to surrender to the magnetic pull between us, to give in to the ecstasy of our connection. It was a battle I wasn't sure I could win.As he moved closer to me with a questioning look, he immediately yanked the duvet out of my grip. I instinctively recoiled, not wanting to be near him, afraid of what I might do in my current state of mind."You took off the cuff?" he asked, his expression puzzled."Isn't it obvious, dumbass?" I snapped, my anger flaring.His gaze darkened as if he was irritated by my outburst, but right now, I c

"He hit the wooden surface of the door, and the loud smack made me jump. I gasped, and my back hit his front, a sharp, spark-like electricity coursing through me that made me shiver."Leave me the fuck alone!" I shouted at him through gritted teeth. He held on tight to me and spun me around so I was now facing him, looking into his eyes. My knees felt weak as I was lost in his mesmerizing gaze.”His grip tightened, and I felt my heart race. "I can't do this anymore," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the pounding in my chest.He leaned in, his breath hot against my skin. "You," he said, shaking his head, darting between my eyes and my lips.His voice sent a shiver down my spine."Kess…" I whispered as I tried to turn around from him, but he pressed his body against mine. I could feel his erection pressing onto me, my breath quickened, and the temperature of the room was buzzing with sexual tension.His proximity ignited a fire within that I struggled to extinguish. "Stop," I pl

I'm startled. "For fuck's sake, I just had my bath, and you're engulfing me in a hug. I'm sorry to say it makes me feel dirty again," she says softly, gently moving her away from me.I look at Cara in shock, wondering what could be going through her mind to behave in such a manner. But her voice is somber as she asks, "Don't you like it here?"I stare at her in disbelief, wondering what she means by "don't you like it here.""Care to explain, ma'am?" I ask in a mocking tone.She stomps her feet like an erring child. "I'm not joking, Lyra. Don't you like it here?"Then it occurred to me that she thought I was serious when I said I would go back to Northville to continue what I started there. She truly believes I'm considering leaving."Please don't leave us again, your time away from us was hell, and Kessler might not admit it, but it was torture for him not to have you around."I swallow hard, feeling the weight of her words. I didn't want to go through that route, of feeding her the

She has this contemplative look like she's debating whether to tell me something or not. But trust me, I won't accept a no for an answer.And I have no intention of pressuring her. I move closer, gently squeezing her shoulder. She places her hand on mine, acknowledging my presence. Her gaze seems distant, and she fidgets with her nails, a sign of nervousness. Zach and I are great, but whenever I'm on my period, I notice he gets that look.It's like a switch flips, and suddenly, there's this tension in the air. I try to brush it off, but it's hard not to notice.She pauses as if trying to piece together her thoughts. I wonder if he always wears that expression as if he wishes I were pregnant instead of menstruating.Finally, I grasped the issue. But I must choose my words carefully, so as not to hurt her, because it's one thing to open up, and another for your heart to find solace from that vulnerability."So, you mean he expects you to be pregnant, and seeing you menstruating means yo

Lyra’s POVWatching Kessler walk out the door, I have mixed feelings about everything that has happened. I rest my hand on my chest, trying to still my racing heart. The scent of my arousal fills the room, and I blush, knowing he can suggest hot, steamy sex when he returns. He knows I want him, and the feeling is mutual. The thought of the kiss lingers in my mind as I drift off to sleep, clutching the pillow tightly.I have a rather nice sleep with thoughts of Kessler resting on my mind. His presence in my life helps take away the thought of Ryder trying to get rid of me. I wake up the next morning feeling refreshed yet apprehensive. The events of the previous night play in my mind like a movie reel. I know I have to confront my feelings about Kessler.Sunlight pierces through my room. The last time this happened, Kessler was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. With that thought in mind and a smile on my face, I make my way to the kitchen, hoping to see him there. I am disappointed when

Kessler’s POVI don't like it when Lyra stays mad at me. I didn't know she was going to take the role of godmother to Annie's baby. Given what Annie had done to her, I had my doubts. So, I followed her to her room to be sure she'd stop being mad at me. When she complains about her leg, all I want is to massage her legs and make her feel better.Her moan makes my member twitch in my trousers; I can sense she wants me. There's no doubt I want her, but I want my time with Lyra to be special again. Dang, I can't think straight when I catch a whiff of her arousal. With hurried steps, she heads into the bathroom. I can tell she is embarrassed; she takes her time in there. But when she steps out in her towel, all I want is to take her right there and make her scream my name.She looks at me, surprised to see I’m still in the room. I need to take control of my emotions; I want her as much as she wants me. With a smirk, I walk closer to her, noticing her expectant gaze. I run my hand through he

When Kessler called me "Sunshine" and mentioned there was something else, my curiosity piqued. I could sense his uncertainty, but I leaned in, asking, "What is it?""I know she did many things to you that she wasn't proud of," he began. "She said it before she passed away—she couldn't look into your eyes and ask for forgiveness."I nodded slowly, trying to grasp the significance of Kessler's words and where he was leading this conversation."Annie wants us to be the godparents to her baby," Kessler said hurriedly, as if the words were burning on his tongue. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across my face. Playfully, I smacked him on the chest and teased, "Is that what was taking you forever to say?"Kessler chuckled, a weight lifted off his shoulders. "Yes, I wanted to make sure you were okay with it.""Of course," I replied with sincerity. "We'll be great godparents. But you hurt my feelings, Kessler, for thinking that I would say no to being the godmoth

Kessler’s POV With hurried steps, we made our way to the pack hospital. I wonder what might have gone wrong for my attention to be needed at the hospital, but I was grateful that Lyra was right by my side. The thought of anything happening to Lyra filled me with dread as I remembered what had happened in her room. As we approached the hospital, my heart raced with worry. The memory of finding Lyra in distress in her room flashed through my mind. It's a relief that Lyra was able to control her powers without harming the baby. Ryder must have taken advantage of the situation, knowing we were all focused on Annie's well-being. I wondered if there was a connection between Ryder's actions and Annie's condition. Regardless, I made a mental note to investigate the matter swiftly. The safety and security of our pack were important and we needed to uncover the truth to protect everyone. Many serious issues have happened within my pack, and I can no longer afford to overlook them. We arr

Kessler holds me close as if I mean the world to him. His scent is comforting. "Please, get me water," I tell him as he stands up, goes to the kitchen, and brings back a bottle of water. I sit up and look at Ryder, realizing he is almost lifeless on the floor. I guess it's the impact of the syringe he brought to inject me. I rushed to Ryder's side. My heart races as I check for signs of life, hoping for any flicker of movement. "Ryder, can you hear me?" I whisper, my voice trembling with worry. Fear grips me as I realize I could have been almost lifeless like him, and I doubt I would survive it. I can't begin to imagine the trauma that would follow. Someone wants me dead for sure, and now I don't think Ryder can say anything to reveal who sent him. I was consumed with worry, but my thoughts turned to Julie. How would she handle the revelation that her mate is not who she believes him to be? Just then, Kessler walked in with the bottle of water in hand and handed it to me. "Thank

I was tired and I had to put my clothes back on, wondering who it could be, dragging myself to the door. I opened it and lo I was shocked to realize that it was no other than Ryder, I know I had just thought about him not being a good guy, but he just confirmed my suspicion by coming to my room. "What do you want?" I ask politely, trying my best not to be rude, but inside, I'm seriously annoyed. He smirks and pushes the door open, making his way inside without waiting for an invitation. I stand there, my annoyance growing as Ryder enters without any regard for my privacy or invitation. "I just wanted to talk," he says casually as if his intrusion is perfectly acceptable. "Well, I don't feel like talking right now," I reply curtly, crossing my arms over my chest. Ryder shrugs nonchalantly, unfazed by my obvious discomfort. "Suit yourself," he says, moving further into the room as if he owns it. I grit my teeth, feeling my patience wearing thin. "You need to leave," I say firmly
