Phoebe's POV

I scrubbed the counters harder, the veins in my hands bulging.

They were clean but I didn't stop.

Mark sat behind me on a swing chair and I could feel his eyes almost drilling a hole on my back. He cracked open a beer.

He took a swig tossing the empty bottle at my feet. It shattered on the floor, but I didn't flinch. I already knew he was just trying to get me to retaliate so he could get me into trouble.

Since I moved in with my uncle, his father three months ago, he made it his mission to make my life unbearable.

“Hurry up, you jinx.”

Mark said behind me.

I didn't bother to look back at him. I kept scrubbing.

Going back and forth with him was useless. I was here because his father, my uncle, was a good man. Even if he didn't try to defend me or call Mark to order.

He picked a brush from the floor and threw it at me. I tilted my head away.

“I've done nothing wrong to you, Mark. Leave me the hell alone,” I snapped, clenching my fists.  

He walked towards me angrily, his eyes wide and his mouth growling. Then there was a loud noise outside. He took one look at me and walked out to see what was going on, and I followed

“You there!” a guy yelled, storming over to my uncle as he slammed the door of his car aggressively.

I wanted to step up and help, but my uncle shot me a sharp look. I froze. I knew what that look meant.

My uncle used to be a proud beta, respected by everyone. But when our alpha was defeated, my father, being a warrior, followed him to build the new pack, and my uncle chose to surrender to the new alpha, the father of the big man in front of him.  Since then, he had lost his status and now ran this small cafeteria to survive.

“You old bastard!” the guy yelled, storming over to my uncle. He grabbed him by the collar, lifting him slightly off the ground.

“I’m so sorry,” my uncle stammered, his voice shaking. “It was an accident. I’ll clean it up right away,” he said in a trembling voice, his eyes going to the boxes scattered everywhere.

Just as the tension reached its peak, the car door opened again. This time, Nathaniel stepped out.

Nathaniel was tall and strong, with dark hair that fell perfectly into place. His sharp jawline and piercing blue eyes made him look like he belonged on a magazine cover. Even the way he walked demanded attention.

The moment I saw him, I felt a strong pull deep inside me. My wolf Lucy stirred and whispered the word ‘mate’. I clenched my fists, trying to calm her down.

Nathaniel’s eyes locked onto mine. His gaze was intense, like he was trying to figure me out. My heartbeat became faster, but I forced myself to stay still. I didn’t want him to notice me.

“Let him go Alexander,” Nathaniel said firmly. His brother released my uncle, who stumbled back, adjusting his shirt. He looked thankful to Nathaniel for helping him and I was equally relieved too.

Mark, who had been watching silently, murmured,

“This wasn’t our fault.”

“Mark, apologize,” My uncle ordered.

Mark grumbled something under his breath but didn’t argue. My uncle turned to Nathaniel’s brother and said,

“I’m deeply sorry for the trouble. It won’t happen again. It wasn't intended at all.”

Nathaniel was still staring at me. Did he realize we were mates as well? Or was it something else? Did he recognize me as his old enemy, Alec?

I have to say, we've both given each other hard times on the battlefield. But a year ago, something happened to my wolf Lucy and she changed. Also, Nathaniel had never seen Alec in her human form. I don't think he recognized me.

Nathaniel’s brother broke the silence.

“Alpha doesn’t like to wait, even if we’re his sons.”

Nathaniel finally looked away from me. He signaled for one of his men to pay for the damages. Then he got back in the car, and they drove off.

After they left, Mark turned to me, his face twisted in anger.

“This is your fault,” he spat. “Nothing good has happened since you got here. One day, I’ll skin you alive.”

Before I could react, he busted my shoulder hard. Then he stormed off.

I got used to this already, but the problem was Nathaniel.

“How can Nathaniel be your mate?” my wolf Lucy asked. “The enemy becomes a mate?”

I sighed. “Even if he knows I’m his mate, he’ll never admit it. He’ll reject me.”The taste of rejection was not new to me. Duncan flashed through my mind. It doesn't hurt anymore.

The days passed, and I thought it was over. But one afternoon, one of Nathaniel’s men came to the cafeteria.

“Nathaniel feels bad about what happened the other day,” he said. “He bought new goods to replace what was lost. Phoebe needs to go to the pack house to pick them up.”

Everyone froze. It was clear this wasn’t just about replacing goods. My uncle offered to go with me, but the man insisted I had to go alone.

Mark stepped in front of me, blocking my path. His voice was low and threatening. 

“If you cause any more trouble, I’ll rip your head off.”

I didn’t reply. I just wanted to get this over with.

When I arrived at the pack house, Nathaniel was already waiting for me. His lips curved into a slight smile as his piercing blue eyes locked onto mine.

“Phoebe,” he greeted with a slight smile. “You made it.”

I glanced around nervously. “Where are the supplies? I’d like to pick them up and get back quickly.”

Nathaniel chuckled softly, shaking his head. “Please don't be in a hurry... I don’t think we’ve met before, haven't seen you in training either, or Are you new to the pack?”

Really? Doesn't he remember me or is he just teasing?

"No," I said. "I've been here for a while. I'm living with my uncle... He runs the cafeteria in town. He took me in after my father-" I stopped myself, not wanting to disclose too much. 

"Your father, he's Peterson the warrior, isn't he?

I was tense. "Yes."

"He was a good man, even though he was on the opposite side he was respected by everyone, even on the battlefield. What happened to him... It wasn't fair”

I shrugged, not sure how to respond.

Nathaniel continued, “Those who refused to surrender built a new pack. Duncan is the Alpha now.”

“Duncan isn’t the problem. But there’s someone helping him. A tough guy called... Alec”

My heart skipped a beat. He was talking about me, but he didn’t know it yet.

“Do you know this guy?” Nathaniel asked.

Before I could answer, he grabbed my arm.

    Phoebe's POV When I got back home, Uncle was sitting by the counter, going over his old notebook. It was filled with his notes about stock and finances for the cafeteria. He looked up when I entered, his eyes going to the red stain on my arm that'd appeared there from Nathaniel's strong grip earlier.“What happened, Phoebe?” he asked, concern lacing his tone.I tried to sound casual. “I got hurt while training. It’s no big deal. It’ll heal soon.”Uncle didn’t look convinced. He got up and walked closer, his brow furrowed deeply. “You shouldn’t push yourself too hard. Training isn’t worth getting injured like this.”“I’m fine,” I said quickly, trying to brush it off. “Really.”He stared at me for a long moment, then sighed. “You’ve always been stubborn,” he muttered.I hesitated before speaking again. “Uncle, please let me pay rent. I’m staying here, eating your food, and working in your cafeteria. It’s only fair.”He shook his head firmly. “I told you before. I can’t take your rent.

    Nathaniel's POV The whip cracked against my back, and I clenched my teeth to keep from making a sound. My father, Alpha of one of the strongest packs in the region, stood before me, fury radiating from him. This wasn’t the first time I’d been on the receiving end of his anger, but it didn’t make it any easier.“How dare you make such a decision without consulting me?” he barked, his voice echoing in his study. I didn't speak until he was done venting his angerWhen the punishment was done, he tossed the whip aside and crossed his arms. “Stand up and explain yourself.”I pushed myself to my feet, my back throbbing with each movement. My father’s eyes bored into mine, demanding an answer. “I did it because it was the best decision for the pack,” I began, keeping my voice steady. “Father, you’ve been planning to take control of other packs gradually. But with every new territory we gain, management becomes harder. There have already been signs that our resources are stretched too thin

    Nathaniel's POVI walked into the pack house, Phoebe was sitting on the couch, staring out the window. Her hair caught the light, and she looked peaceful. I hadn’t expected her to be here or to have her wait here for me, but seeing her there made me stop for a moment."Phoebe... how're you doing?” I asked, stepping closer. "Looks like I’m okay,” she said with a shrug.Before I could respond, she cut me off, her words sharp and to the point. “What is this all about, Nathaniel?” Her tone wasn’t just questioning—it was desperate, demanding.I stopped in my tracks, raising one eyebrow in question and she rolled her eyes. I knew she meant the mating ceremony. I didn’t want to talk about it. Admitting I had planned to mate with someone else would only make things worse. So I kept my face calm and walked closer to her. “What do you mean?” I asked, She scoffed, “Don’t play dumb. The mating ceremony. You didn’t plan this, did you? Or were you just waiting for the perfect moment to humilia

    Phoebe's POVI woke up feeling like my head was spinning. For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, and the bed felt different. Panic crept in as I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy. Where was I?I closed my eyes and tried to think. Slowly, pieces of the previous day came back to me. Nathaniel. His face. His lips on mine. His arms held me as he guided me… somewhere.Before I could figure it out, there was a knock on the door. I froze, unsure of what to say. A moment later, a maid stepped in, carrying a tray.“Good morning, Miss Phoebe,” she said politely, placing the tray on a small table beside the bed.I rubbed my eyes and pushed myself up. “Why am I here?” I asked, my voice cracking.The maid hesitated, her hands fiddling with the edge of her apron. “You were at the dinner table with the alpha's family last night, Miss,” she said carefully. “Lord Nathaniel brought you here so you could rest.”“You were….um, you had a little too much

The treaty with the Moonfury pack was important, and the Alpha wanted all his sons to be involved in the negotiations.Nathaniel was leaving me with people who didn't even like me. I took a deep breath.“I’ll be back by evening,” Nathaniel had whispered as he came to stand next to me. .I nodded. “Good luck. I hope the peace treaty lasts.”Before he could leave, Elizabeth stepped forward, arms crossed. “What about our training today in the fields, Nathaniel? You promised to help me today.” He sighed. “Elizabeth, I’ll help you tomorrow. Today is important. We have to leave with father in a matter of minutes.”“You always say that,” she snapped. “But you never follow through. Fine, let Phoebe help me instead.”Nathaniel’s brows furrowed. “No, I—”“It’s settled,” the Alpha interrupted, his deep voice cutting through the conversatio

    Nathaniel's POVI returned to the pack house after the meeting at Moonfury pack, and I hoped Elizabeth hadn't given Phoebe a hard time. The warriors guarding the house were tense, whispering among themselves. One of them approached me, his expression grim.“Nathaniel,” he said, his voice low, “there was an attack.”My heart sank. “What happened?”“Rogues,” he said. “They ambushed the group at the training grounds. Elizabeth and Phoebe are missing. The others with them seemed to have escaped together and got back here.”I didn’t wait to hear more. How could the ones I'd left to take care of Phoebe and Elizabeth come back unhurt when the people I'd charged them to protect were missing. Without a word, I shifted into my wolf form and raced toward the training grounds. My brother followed, and soon, other warriors joined us. We raced for the training grounds and for the first time, I caught myself wondering how in the world the training grounds happened to be so far away from the royal

    Phoebe's POV I woke up in an unfamiliar bed. The blankets were heavy, wrapping me in warmth, but the scent around me was unmistakable—Nathaniel.Blinking, I sat up slowly. My body ached, and my head felt heavy. Why was I here? The last thing I remembered was the river, the cold water pulling me down, and Nathaniel’s arms around me.The door opened, and he walked in. His shirt was slightly wrinkled, his hair a bit messy, as if he hadn’t slept much.“You’re awake,” he said, stepping closer.I frowned. “Why am I in your room?”“You passed out,” he answered. “I brought you here.”I pushed the blanket off and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My head throbbed badly and I wanted to get back into the warm bed and sleep some more, but I heard myself saying, “I’m fine now. I should go.”His hand was on my shoulder before I could stand. “You’re not going anywhere.”I looked up at him. His expression was unreadable, but there was no mistaking the firmness in his voice.“Nathaniel, I—”“N

    Nathaniel’s POVI sat in my office, staring at the stack of reports spread across my desk. The papers detailed everything from patrol schedules to supply inventories. I had been going over them for the last hour, but my focus kept slipping.The recent invasion had left some damage, but we were recovering. Duncan’s forces had been dealt with, and the borders were secure again. That wasn’t what was weighing on my mind.Alexander was.Even after everything, he still hadn’t given up his claim to the Alpha position. He had no right to it, not while my father was still alive and certainly not while I was the one handling pack affairs. But Alexander didn’t see it that way.I sighed and leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. The constant power struggle was draining, and I didn’t have time for it.Before I could push the thought aside, my phone vibrated on the desk. I glanced at the screen. A message from my father.We need to meet in my office. Now.I stared at the words for a second be

My uncle was still in the hospital, recovering, and even though Nathaniel had told me not to worry, I couldn’t help it. He had handled everything, from the medical bills, getting the best doctors and the best care—but I needed to see for myself that my uncle was okay.I took a deep breath and scrolled through my contacts until I found the name I was looking for.Mark.I hesitated for a second before pressing the call button. The phone rang a few times before he finally answered.“Phoebe?” His voice sounded uncertain, as if he hadn’t expected me to call.“Hey,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “I want to visit Uncle. Are you free?”There was a pause. “You want to go today?”“Yes.”Another pause. Then, “Alright. I’ll meet you there.”I exhaled, relieved. “Thanks.”After ending the call, I got up, grabbed my coat, and stepped out of my room. Natha

The weight of the night still pressed on me, but a strange sense of peace followed.Nathaniel walked beside me, his presence steady. He hadn’t let go of my hand since we left the woods, and even now, his grip was warm, grounding.When we reached the door of his chambers, I hesitated. My fingers curled slightly against his. “Nathaniel…”He turned to me, eyes searching. “What is it?”I glanced down, suddenly uncertain. “Maybe I should go to my own room.”Nathaniel didn’t let me pull away. Instead, he cupped my face, his thumb brushing over my cheek. “Stay,” he murmured.It wasn’t a demand. It wasn’t even a request. It was a quiet promise—one I didn’t have the strength to deny.I nodded.Nathaniel led me inside, closing the door behind us. The room was dimly lit, the air warm and familiar. I had been here before, but never like this. Nev

The betrayal.Elizabeth and Alexander’s hatred for me had been simmering for a long time, but now it burned hotter than ever. And I knew—it wasn’t over. Not really.

    Phoebe’s POVSleep wouldn’t come. No matter how many times I turned over or adjusted my pillow, my mind refused to quiet. Every time I closed my eyes, the memories came rushing back—Alexander’s betrayal, the attack. I had caught myself trying to make excuses for Alexander, for why he could want the downfall of his own pack simply because his younger brother was the alpha, but the more I tried to make those excuses, the more ridiculous it became to even me. “Envy is sure to tear a people apart,” I muttered under my breath. Mia scoffed inside me. “Alex has always never loved his brother as you like to think. He never did, not since they were kids.” I sighed. It was easy to believe. Nathaniel looked more handsome, had his way with people and generally charmed people. He was also smart, their father would ask his opinion on certain pack issues but Alexander never gave equally genius opinions on things and so didn't get the attention that Nathaniel got from their father and other pack

    Nathaniel’s POVThe battlefield was littered with bodies. Some groaned in pain, others lay still. Blood soaked the ground, the scent thick in the air. My warriors had done their job, forcing the rival pack back. But the fight wasn’t over.I saw Alexander slipping away.He moved quickly, staying near the shadows of the trees, trying to disappear while everyone else was still caught in the chaos. He thought I wouldn’t notice.He was wrong.I started after him, my strides long and determined. My blood boiled at the thought of what he had done. He had betrayed us, let our enemies into our home, watched as our warriors bled and died. And now, he wanted to run.Not a chance.I caught up to him just as he reached the edge of the forest. He stopped when he heard me, but he didn’t turn around.“Going somewhere?” I asked, my voice cold.Alexander let out a slow breath before facing me. His expression was calm, too calm for someone who had just lost. “It’s over, Nathaniel.”“You’re right. And yo

    Phoebe’s POVScreams tore through the night. The clash of metal, the growls of wolves, the thud of bodies hitting the ground—it was chaos. My breath came fast, my muscles tensed as I stood amidst the battle. Warriors fought around me, defending the pack, but something about this attack felt wrong.This wasn’t just a random ambush.Then I saw him.Alexander.He stood away from the battle, near the treeline, watching. He wasn’t fighting. He wasn’t even moving. His posture was too relaxed for someone whose pack was under attack. His arms were crossed, and while warriors around him struggled, he remained untouched.Not a single enemy had gone for him.That was no coincidence.Realization struck me. This wasn’t just an attack. It was a betrayal.A rogue lunged at me before I could process it further. His blade aimed straight for my throat. I ducked, twisting my body, barely avoiding the slash. I grabbed a fallen dagger from the ground and drove it into his ribs before he could react. His b

    Phoebe's POVI knew I couldn’t wait. Waiting would be a disaster. I had to inform Nathaniel of what I'd found. But then, when I snuck back into the pack house and back into our took successfully, I knew it would be unwise to try to wake him up and tell him what I'd just found out. But at the same time, I knew he was always up very early and would soon be out in the training grounds or in his office to finish whatever work he might have not finished the previous day.My heart thumped wildly in my chest as I laid next to him, hoping that the day would come fast so I could tell him what I'd learned. My wolf growled at the back of my mind. “Going out was perhaps the best decision you've made in a while.”I nodded. Without argument, it was the smartest thing I'd done on impulse, for a while now. As soon as the sun rose, I found Nathaniel in his office, sitting behind his desk. He looked up when I entered, his expression softening for a brief moment before he saw the look on my face. Hi

    Phoebe's POVI had never paid much attention to Alexander before. He had always been there—watching, waiting, brooding in the background—but I had kept my focus on my own struggles. Now, I couldn’t ignore him. There was something about the way he carried himself lately, the way his frustration seemed to grow with each passing day.Nathaniel dismissed him as a sore loser, still bitter about the challenges, but I wasn’t so sure it was just that. There was something else, something darker.So, I started watching.I didn’t make it obvious. I wasn’t foolish enough to let him or anyone else know what I was doing. I simply paid attention—where he went, who he spoke to, how his expression changed when he thought no one was looking.At meals, I noticed how he barely ate, his fingers tapping against the table like he was thinking too much. When he trained, his movements were sharp, aggressive, as if he was holding back anger.At night, when most of the pack had gone to sleep, I listened. The pa
