“Ellie!” I rolled my eyes when I heard his voice calling out to me.

I quickened my pace, and wrapped my arms around my body to shield myself from the biting cold.

“Ellie, wait!” Jaden’s voice cut through the chill. “What are you doing out here? It’s so cold,” he said, running to catch my pace.

I rolled my eyes again, not breaking my stride.

“Leave me alone, Jaden,” I said in a bored tone, my breath forming a white cloud in front of me.

“Wait,” he called, and held my elbow.

“What?!” I snapped, my anger simmering just below the surface.

He was taken aback by my outburst, and his eyes narrowed in slits as he stared at me.

“Have….have you been crying?” He asked, his head tilted to the side.

“None of your business,” I growled, my eyes flashing with warning.

Jaden’s face fell, but he didn’t back off. “You have been crying. What’s wrong with you?” He pressed, his voice growing softer.

My defense rose and I lashed out. “Because seeing you makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a fork, and my

    The rest of the weekend passed in a blur, and I breezed through activities. Not really. I had been cooped up in my room most of the time, because that seemed to be the only way to ward Jaden off.The kiss I’d initiated had sent a very wrong message, and I paid the price, so staying locked in my room was the best way to avoid him.It wasn’t even a vacation anymore because at that point I might as well have been in some rat hole, because it didn’t make any difference.Growing up, I’d always wished to go on vacations, and Hawaii was at the top of that bucket list, but after my father’s death, the money he left for us was used to survive. Me on food, and my mother on crack.And now, I’d been giving an opportunity to live my dream, and I let it slip through my fingers, and no matter how much I tried to convince myself I was staying locked in in my room to avoid Jaden, I knew the real reason.Chase.I had thought having him on this trip would be a disaster, but his absence was more of a di

    Chapter 44Chase’s povI glared at Alex, who plopped down on my couch, tossing an empty beer can on the floor. "This place is shit," he said, his voice grating on my nerves.“If you can’t make it better, don’t make it worse,” I growled at him, not looking up from my laptop.Alex snorted. "You need to get out more, man. This place is suffocating you."I shot him a warning look, but he just chuckled and grabbed another beer from the fridge.I had a shit ton of work to do, and I’d been cooped up in my position for hours on end. The only thoughts that had ravaged my mind in the last 72 hours was work, and Elodie.No matter how hard I tried to get her out of my thoughts, it seemed impossible. She lingered, haunting my thoughts like a ghost.She plagued my dreams and waking thoughts, yet I couldn’t shake her off.I’d convinced myself again and again that it was best to let her go. That would make her life less complicated. Seeing her with that kid struck a deep nerve, I wasn’t going to lie,

    I stared at the address on my phone, my heart racing with excitement and nerves. I had to see him. I had to make things right.I reread the message for what felt like the twentieth time in two minutes, and I clutched my phone to my chest, and let out a quiet squeal.I hurried into the shower, and did my routine as quickly as possible. I got dressed in casual clothings, and tied my hair up in a messy bun.I quickly grabbed my bag and headed out the door. I hailed a taxi and gave the driver the address.As we drove, I couldn't help but think about what I would say to him. I had to apologize, had to explain. But what if he didn't want to see me? What if he was still angry?I shook my head, pushing the thoughts away. He wanted to see me. He said so himself.The taxi pulled up to building nestled among other prestigious and high rise buildings, its sleek glass and steel façade gleaming in the sunlight and I handed the driver a crumpled dollar bill before stepping out of the car.The buildi

    “What?” I spluttered even though my mind told me I had a good idea what he was talking about.He stared at me intently and rolled his tongue over his lower lips in the most sensual way possible.“Strip,” he commanded like the first time, and my pussy pulsated.“What?” I asked again, looking around the living room. “Here?”“Are you disobeying me?” He asked with a playful glint in his eyes, but underneath it was the raw desire in his eyes that made my insides hot. “Now!”I jumped a bit at his tone, and heat flared out of me. His eyes darkened even more, letting me know that he knew I was aroused.I didn't even try to hide it. As I slid my clothes down my body,with his hot gaze on me, I was transported back to the very first day we met, and this felt like a deja-vu.Once I was down to my undies, I squirmed as his eyes hungrily roamed my body. Watching him watch me, knowing that this hot man standing in front of me found me attractive, that shit did something inside of me that I couldn't

    “Up,” he demanded, and I tried to stand, only to fall into his chest because my wobbly legs couldn't keep me up.He chuckled and a yelp escaped my lips when he threw me over his shoulder like I weighed nothing, and my ass sticking out in the air.His palm connected sharply with my ass cheek, making me squirm.“Stop moving,” he growled, and I forced myself to remain still as he moved.He opened a door, and in a few seconds, I was being laid gently on a very soft mattress then he moved away from me.“Can I open my eyes now?” I asked, bitting my bottom lips as he shuffled around.“Wait,” he said curtly.There was more shuffling while I waited in anticipation.“Open,” he said after a short while.I quickly undid the knot he has made with my shirt at the back of my head, and took it away from my eyes.I winced as the bright light pierced my eyes, and it took a few blinks before my eyes came back to focus.And when they did,they bulged right out of their sockets.In front of me was Chase in

    The warm glow of the morning sun filtered through the curtains and rested on my face. I slowly opened my eyes, disoriented and confused. Where was I? The room was unfamiliar, and the bed was huge. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, trying to focus my disoriented mind. And then, it all came flooding back - Chase, his naked body, our passionate lovemaking.The reminder of last night made heat wash over me, and I blushed deeply.But where was he?I looked around the room again, but this time, I was searching for him. He was nowhere to be found. I felt a pang of hurt and abandonment. Had he left me? Without even saying goodbye?I threw off the covers and got out of bed. I winced with my eyes snapped shut from the pain in my last part at being rammed numerous times with Chase's monstrous cock.I shoved aside the memories that made my body tingle and my stomach tighten. My eyes scanned the room for any sign of Chase. But he was gone. I walked over to the bathroom, hoping he was in there, but it wa

    I lay in bed, staring at Elodie's sleeping form. Her lips were parted, and she looked so peaceful in her sleep. She was literally the most beautiful, yet innocent girl I'd ever seen.She was beautiful, radiant, and mine. At least, right now. Her presence calmed me, and for the first time in a very long time, my wolf and I were at peace, our thoughts aligning.I brushed off loose strands of hair from her face, unable to take my eyes off her.It was almost laughable that some time back, I had thought having sex with her would get her out of my system.But right now, as she held me close with her soft, naked body pressed to me, I knew I could never have enough of her.And that thought scared me.For the first time in my life, I was cuddled up with a woman after sex, and I could tell I was really digging it. Especially when that woman was this woman right here.Usually, I would have sex and be on my way, or send them on their way. I could never bring myself to stay after that.Not even my

    Chase's povThe rest of the day was a blur as I worked with Alex to plan the perfect event to gather everyone connected to Daniel. But my mind kept wandering back to Elodie.I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had abandoned Elodie. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed her number, but it went straight to voicemail.I tried again, but she didn't answer. I sent her a text, apologizing for leaving without a word and promising to make it up to her.As soon as I could, I excused myself and left, breezing through the woods in my wolf form till I got to where my car was parked.I got in, and drove quickly. Knowing, Elodie, she wouldn't still be in my penthouse, so I headed right to the house.The house was empty when I got there, and my chest heaved as I ran up the staircase to her room.I knocked on the door, my heart pounding in my chest. The door opened, and Elodie stood before me, her eyes red-rimmed and puffy."Hey," I said softly, feeling a pang of guilt."Hey," she replied, her vo

    I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My 21st birthday, and I felt like a whale. Seven months pregnant, and I was huge. I puffed out a sigh, running my hands over my swollen belly, as I was told to expect popping soon since my babies had Alpha growth.Pups, they called them."I look like a hippopotamus," I muttered, feeling tears prick at the corners of my eyes.Chase appeared behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist. "You're the most beautiful woman in the world," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear.I rolled my eyes. "You're biased."Chase chuckled. "Maybe, but it's true. You're glowing, Elodie. You're perfect."I turned to face him, my eyes searching his. "You really think so?" I sniffed my tears back.Chase nodded with a boyish grin. "I do. You're carrying our child, and that makes you even more beautiful to me."I felt a lump form in my throat. Chase had been my anchor throughout this pregnancy. He'd moved his work home, spending every day with

    _Chase’s POV_I sat beside Elodie's hospital bed, my eyes fixed on her pale face. It had been a week since she'd been admitted, and still, she lay unconscious, her body hooked up to machines and oxygen tubes. The beeping of the monitors and the hiss of the ventilator were the only sounds that broke the silence. My heart ached with every beat, my soul torn apart by the sight of her fragile form.I reached out, taking her hand in mine, feeling the warmth of her skin, but it was a faint warmth. I’d tried to reach her wolf a number of times, but she too was very weak.It was like grasping at smoke. She was there, somewhere, deep within her, but she was weak, so weak. I poured all my energy into the connection, willing her to respond, to stir, to come back to me. But there was only silence.The hospital had provided a bed for me beside hers, and I'd spent every waking moment by her side. I woke up every morning with her hand in mine, and slept every night with her fingers intertwined with

    Chapter 162_Chase’s POV_I paced back and forth in front of the barrier, my mind racing with every possible scenario, most of which I’d rather not recount lest they became real. Elodie had been in there for what felt like an eternity, and I was starting to lose my mind. I tried crossing the barrier again, but it was like running into a brick wall. I was pushed back, my body slamming against a nearby tree."Dammit!" I cursed, my fists clenched in frustration.Laila approached me. I’d seen more empathy in her eyes in the last few minutes than I’d done in my entire life, and if it were under any other circumstances, I would have laughed and asked her if she was losing her touch."Chase, calm down. You're going to hurt yourself,” she placed her hand on my shoulder, and from her misty eyes, I could tell how hard she was trying to control her tears.I turned to her, my eyes blazing with anger. "Calm down? You want me to calm down? Elodie's in there with a man who’s capable of doing……God k

    My mind was a jumble of emotions as I stood there, frozen in shock. But as I gazed into the face of the man before me, a memory long buried rose to the surface. I was a child again, sitting on my father's lap, listening to his deep, rumbling voice as he read me a bedtime story. His eyes sparkled with amusement, his hands making animations, and his smile was warm and gentle. I felt safe, loved, and cherished."Elodie, my little star," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear.His voice cut through the daze, and I felt like I was dreaming. I wanted to believe I was dreaming. But as I looked into his eyes, I knew it was real. He was really there, standing in front of me, unchanged since the day he...since the day he died.I stumbled backward, my mind reeling. It couldn't be. My father was dead. I had mourned him, blamed myself for his death. The pain and guilt had haunted me for years.But there he was, not a day older, not a single strand of gray hair. His eyes, his smile, everything wa

    Chase's face contorted in rage, his eyes blazing with fury. "I'll never let you go in there alone!" he thundered, his voice echoing through the night. My heart broke at the desperation in his eyes, and I rushed back to him, wrapping my arms around his waist."Chase, please," I whispered, burying my face in his chest. "I'll be fine. I promise."But he was beyond reason, and his body trembled with anger. "You're not going in there!" he shouted, his voice hoarse. "I won't let you!"He lightly pushed me away, his eyes scanning the warehouse as if daring the lone wolf to come out. "You want her?" he yelled, his voice carrying across the distance. "You want my mate? Come out and face me, you coward! If you think you're man enough!"The others tried to calm him down, but Chase was unstoppable. He paced back and forth, his eyes blazing with fury, the veins on his neck and forehead pulsing so hard I feared they would erupt. I tried to reason with him, but he wasn't listening."Chase, please,"

    As we stepped out of the office, the crisp night air enveloped us, carrying the scent of damp earth and the distant howl of feral wolves that made my heart squeeze painfully. "We'll need to be discreet," Chase said, his voice low. "Let's shift."I nodded, the pain momentarily giving way to a thrill of excitement. My wolf stirred within me, eager to be free. I closed my eyes, focusing on the transformation. My body began to shift, my bones snapping, my muscles stretching. My senses heightened, and my skin itched as my fur grew.But as I opened my eyes, I realized everyone was staring at me. Laila's eyes were wide with wonder, and even Gideon's gruff expression softened. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks, but Chase's gaze was the only one that mattered. His eyes shone with pride, his face radiant with awe."Elodie," he whispered, his voice husky. "You're...breathtaking."My wolf, pure white and majestic, stood tall, her fur glistening in the moonlight. I felt a surge of power, of freedo

    _Chase's POV_I stared at Elodie, my jaw clenched, and I felt myself about to snap in half with frustration. How could she be so stubborn? Didn't she understand the danger?But as I looked into her eyes, I saw something that made me pause. A fierce intensity burned within them, a determination that told me she would do this with or without my permission.I recalled my conversation with Laila earlier that evening, her words echoing in my mind."Chase, we've tried everything. We've lost so many pack members. This is the only way to stop the lone wolf," she'd said, her eyes solemn."I won't risk Elodie's life," I'd growled.Laila's expression had been somber. "I understand your concerns, but we can't keep running. We need to take a stand. And Elodie...she's the key. I don’t know how, but she is."I'd rejected the idea, but now, looking at Elodie, I realized that Laila might be right.The past 24 hours had seen more pack members go feral. The lone wolf's poison was spreading, and I knew w

    I woke to darkness, the silence a heavy blanket that wrapped around me. My eyes adjusted slowly, and I made out the familiar contours of our bedroom. But it was the figure sitting beside me that made my heart skip a beat.Chase.His eyes, piercing in the dim light, locked onto mine. My panic, residual from the day's events, dissipated under his gaze."Hey," I whispered softly as if speaking too loud would break whatever spell his eyes had put me under.A soft smile creased Chase's face, but his eyes told a different story. They were dark, troubled.I pushed myself up, my movements cautious, my wolf senses on high alert. Chase's gaze never wavered, his focus solely on me."Hey," he replied, his voice low, husky.I reached out, my hand brushing against his jaw. His stubble prickled my fingertips, sending shivers down my spine."Couldn't sleep?" I asked, my brow furrowing.Chase shook his head, his eyes evading mine. "Just watching you."My smile faltered, sensing something was off. "Cha

    _Chase’s POV_I held Elodie tight, her body trembling against mine. The room's stunned silence was a distant hum, my focus solely on my fragile mate.As the reality of what had just happened sunk in, Elodie's strength began to wane. Her legs buckled, and I swept her into my arms, cradling her like a child."Elodie, love, stay with me," I whispered, alarm coursing through my veins as her wolf grew weaker by the second.Her eyelids fluttered, her gaze unfocused. "Chase...""I'm here, baby," I replied, my voice shaking.Laila approached, her brows pinched together in concern, and her lips curled downward. "Chase, we need to—""Not now, Laila," I growled in a double voice, my wolf rising to protect our mate.Laila squinted her eyes at my tone, and I could almost hear the retort at the tip of her tongue, but she said instead, "Take care of her. We'll discuss the details later."I nodded, the pulse in my neck straining to burst, already striding out of the conference room.Elodie's head lol
