Hey there, readers! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Atlas. What do you think is driving his behavior lately? Let’s dive into this intriguing character together!
Kaida’s POV I turned to him, feeling frustration bubbling up inside. “And why does that bother you so much, huh? You don’t get to decide who I dance with.” Atlas clenched his jaw, his gaze smouldering. “Kaida, I don’t want anyone else touching you.” His words hung between us, raw and powerful, and before I could process what was happening, he reached out, cupping my jaw with his hand. In one fierce movement, his lips were on mine, the kiss consuming and intense, as if he’d been holding back for too long. My mind raced, struggling to make sense of what was happening. Why was Alpha Atlas kissing me? I’d dreamed of a moment like this, but something about the kiss felt strangely familiar—the way his hand held my face, the warmth of his body, the tension between us. It was almost like being kissed by my mysterious man. Or maybe I was just fooling myself. Maybe he was the only man I’d ever kissed, and that’s why everything felt so similar. I snapped out of the daze and shoved him a
Kaida’s POV “Dad, I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I’m falling for Alpha Atlas,” I began, my voice spilling out my confusion. “Maybe it’s just because he’s an alpha, but he always acts so strangely whenever he sees me with another male. You know what he’s like—a player, someone who doesn’t stick to one person. I don’t want to get tangled up with him.” I paused, taking a breath, but the words kept coming. “Just imagine it—he went so far as to warn Alpha Miguel to stay away from me, just because we were dancing! It’s insane. He’s always possessive, even though we’re not together, and I don’t know if I can handle that.” I could feel the frustration building as I let it all out. My father listened, a calm smile on his face, waiting until I was finished before he spoke. “Princess, you haven’t found your mate yet, and it’s normal to feel a pull toward other male wolves at this stage of your life. Sometimes that pull might lead you to your true mate—or it might not. So, just be
Kaida’s pov As I approached the school entrance, Alpha Atlas’ gaze bore into me with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. He had been watching me since the moment I stepped out of the car, his eyes sharp and unyielding, as though he could see straight through me. I told myself to keep walking, to ignore the weight of his scrutiny, but before I could, Akira swept in. She rushed to him with dramatic urgency, her voice cutting through the air like nails on a chalkboard. "Atlas, I’ve been looking for you everywhere," she said, her tone dripping with petulance, the kind of entitled complaint that only someone accustomed to being the centre of attention could master. Her irritation was evident, but it was the way she glanced at me that truly caught my attention. Her gaze lingered a fraction too long, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly, and I caught the flicker of a challenge in their depths. It wasn’t overt, but it was unmistakable—a silent declaration that this moment
Kaida’s pov I feigned confusion, playing dumb as best I could. “What are you talking about, Piper?” Her eyes lit up with amusement, and she leaned closer, lowering her voice as if sharing a juicy secret. “Don’t play coy with me, Kaida. The alpha hasn’t taken his eyes off you since we got here. Seriously, it’s like he’s trying to set you on fire with that stare of his.” I shrugged, hoping to deflect. “I don’t know, Piper. He’s the alpha. He can do whatever he pleases. Maybe he’s just bored.” Piper’s brow arched, her expression growing sharper. “No, Kaida. Don’t try to outsmart me; I’m your best friend, remember? You’ve been avoiding eye contact with him all day like he’s Medusa or something. Spill. What’s going on?” Her words made me freeze for a moment, my mind scrambling for a response. I wanted to tell her everything—the strange pull I felt when Atlas looked at me, the way his gaze seemed to strip away my defences, and the haunting memories of my mysterious lover. B
Kaida's pov The rest of the day passed in a haze. I couldn’t stop replaying the moment in the restroom—the way Atlas’s kiss had set me on fire and how my slap had barely fazed him. His words haunted me: “Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy it, Kaida.” I hated how much truth there was in that statement. As the final bell rang, I gathered my things, ready to bolt from the school and away from the chaos of my emotions. But as I stepped into the courtyard, I froze. Standing by the school gates was Alpha Miguel, his tall figure unmistakable, his aura commanding as ever. Miguel. The sight of him made my breath catch. He leaned casually against his sleek black car, dressed impeccably as usual, his dark eyes scanning the crowd. When he spotted me, his lips curved into a warm, confident smile that sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach. “Kaida!” he called, his deep voice cutting through the noise around us. Every head in the vicinity turned, and whispers began to spread like w
Kaida’s pov The sparring session began in full swing, and the warriors paired off to test their skills. I was quick to find my footing, slipping into the focused mindset that training demanded. Every move, every strike, was deliberate and controlled. I’d just finished pinning one of the senior warriors when I noticed Miguel standing off to the side, arms crossed, watching me with an expression that could only be described as pure awe. His lips curved into a grin as I straightened, brushing dirt off my hands. “Kaida, you didn’t tell me you were this lethal,” he called out, his voice loud enough to turn a few heads. I shot him a pointed look, heat creeping up my neck. “I’m just doing my job, Miguel.” “Your job?” He laughed, clearly enjoying himself. “No, this is a performance. I should be charging admission!” His playful tone earned a few chuckles from the onlookers, but I ignored the attention, turning my focus back to the next opponent. Miguel didn’t let up, thou
Kada’s povI stepped out of my room late at night to grab some water, but what I saw in the living room made my heart sink. My father, the legendary warrior once known as the greatest Alpha in history, sat quietly, staring at a framed picture of my mother and her wolf. It was a gift he had made for her when she was still a teenager, and the way he gazed at it, lost in thought, made me realize how much he still missed her.My mother’s loss during the attack had changed him forever. He was never the same after that, and seeing him so broken made me feel helpless. I tiptoed behind him and wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders in a comforting embrace. “Hey, princess. What are you doing up this late?” he asked gently, reaching for my hand and kissing the back of it. He pulled me onto his lap like he used to when I was a little girl. “I just came down for some water. And you? Why are you sitting here all alone, Alpha Thor?” I teased, trying to lighten the mood.He gave me a sad sm
ATLAS’S POV“Alpha, everything is in place. My father made a few calls to his old alpha friends, and they agreed to the alliance. They’ll help protect each other's borders from rogue attacks and greedy packs,” my best friend, Axel, who’s acting as my beta, reported to me.“Buddy, you know I hate it when you call me Alpha,” I said with a hint of annoyance and he chuckled.“You’re my Alpha, Atlas, and I have to give you the respect you deserve,” he replied.I shook my head, disagreeing. “You’re my equal, Axel you are an alpha too. This formality is unnecessary.” “We’re getting late for training,” he said, smoothly changing the subject. I respected his need to avoid talking about his past, which always made him uncomfortable. As soon as my wolf heard the word "training," he started pacing excitedly. He wasn’t thrilled about the training itself but about seeing our mate, the only woman destined for us. But sadly, she couldn’t feel the mate bond yet because she wasn’t of age. The mom

kaida's pov As I lost myself in the music, feeling the warmth of the alcohol easing away my worries, I let my body move freely, swaying my waist and showing off a few dance moves I hadn’t pulled out in a while. I was fully in the moment, laughing with my friends, when I suddenly felt a strong presence behind me. A hand slipped gently around my waist, and I glanced over my shoulder to find none other than Alpha Miguel. Known as one of the most respectable alphas and admired by many, he was a little older than Atlas but every bit as captivating. The confidence in his gaze and the warmth in his smile was enough to make any she-wolf feel noticed. I returned his smile, feeling a spark of excitement. He leaned in close, his breath warm against my ear as he whispered, "how I wish you were my mate." The words caught me off guard, and I turned to look at him, surprised yet flattered. “You’re a great person, Alpha Miguel,” I replied with a playful smile. “I’m sure you’ll find that lucky
Kaida’s POV Throughout training, I tried to focus, to let the rhythm of my movements drown out the thoughts racing through my mind. But every time I blinked, the same image flooded back—Atlas and Akira, hand in hand, her clinging to him as if he belonged to her. My heart twisted painfully at the memory, each second stretching as I relived it over and over. t was ridiculous to feel this way, I told myself. But no matter how many times I swung my blade or threw a punch, I couldn’t shake the feeling that a part of me had cracked open. I was the warrior of this pack. I wasn’t supposed to feel so weak. And yet, just one look at them had left me breathless, my confidence shaken. Could he really have feelings for her? didn't he tell me he had nothing doing with her? The thought clawed at me, leaving an ache in my chest. I threw a punch harder than necessary, letting the impact send a tremor up my arm. Maybe this was foolish. Maybe I was letting my heart get ahead of me. But in t
Atlas POV It had always been my dream to find my mate, make her my Luna, and rule the pack together, bound by love. But Alpha Logan’s words lingered in my mind, tugging at a part of me I couldn’t ignore. Maybe he was right—maybe attachments could weaken a leader. Still, it felt wrong. The future I’d imagined seemed to slip further away. Not long after he left, Akira burst into my office with a bright, self-assured smile. “My love, when are you setting the date for our ceremony?” she asked, her voice laced with excitement. Her words hit me hard, and I could feel a deep unease settle over me. How could I move forward with this when Kaida was my mate? Yet, I couldn’t make her my Luna because of a deal I’d made in desperation to protect the pack. “Alpha, you haven’t answered my question,” she pressed, her tone now teasing as if daring me to avoid her. “What did you say again?” I asked, hiding my frustration. “When are you going to announce the date of our marriage and offici
