32.Dark revelations

Ethan Greenwood 

The silence between Mia and me was destroying me inside. I knew she was about to explode. Her mind must have been spinning with confusion and fear from everything she had discovered in the last few hours. When I mentioned the word "hybrid," I saw her eyes fill with tears, and the confusion was evident on her face. She still couldn’t accept what I was saying, and I didn’t blame her. It was a hard revelation to swallow. But I couldn’t hide it from her anymore. If she was one of us, she deserved to know. 

And now, with danger knocking at the door, I needed to protect her, even if she resisted. 

"You need to come to the forest," my voice finally broke the silence, perhaps harsher than I intended. "There won’t be another chance. They’re going to keep coming after you and Lorenzo. Out here, you’re vulnerable." 

Mia’s eyes narrowed, the stubbornness already showing in her stance. Of course, that was typical of her. Always trying to prove she could handle everything on her own. But this time, it wasn’t just about her. 

"Who are 'they'? Do you even know?" She crossed her arms, defiant. "You just told me I could be a werewolf or whatever. This is crazy, Ethan. I’m leaving with my son!" 

The pain in my chest grew at the mention of Lorenzo. She didn’t understand. She couldn’t just run away. I knew she was terrified, but running wasn’t an option. I wouldn’t let her. 

"You’re not going anywhere, Mia," I said firmly, not breaking eye contact. 

She glared at me, her anger rising, trying to keep control. "Lorenzo is my son. What are you going to do, Ethan? Your name isn’t even on his birth certificate as his father!" 

My patience wore thin. I grabbed her arm, maybe harder than I intended, but the thought of losing Mia and Lorenzo was unbearable. "Listen to me," my voice came out dark and low, filled with determination. "I’ll follow you to hell, Mia Miller." 

She stared at me, wide-eyed, frozen by the intensity of the moment. I stepped closer, feeling the weight of my own words. I never wanted to scare her, never wanted her to see me as a threat. But I needed her to understand. It wasn’t just about me. It was about protecting her. About protecting Lorenzo. 

Realizing I might have gone too far, I gently released her arm, trying to calm myself. "I didn’t mean to be harsh," I spoke more quietly, calmer. "But I can’t lose you. I won’t let them hurt you. I won’t let them take our son." 

Mia stayed silent, her breathing heavy, and for a moment, I didn’t know what would come next. She was still caught between anger and fear, but there was something deeper there. Something she might be starting to understand. 

She looked at me, and I saw the conflict in her eyes. She was tired of fighting, tired of resisting. Finally, she let out an exasperated sigh and turned her face away, not wanting to confront the reality before her. 

I knew there was still so much to be said. So much to clarify. But for now, I needed to convince her that staying was the only safe option. And I would do anything to protect her. 

Her face was unreadable and distant, and I knew last night had shaken both of us. 

"Last night..." I whispered. 

"I don’t want to talk about it anymore." she said firmly. 

What was I doing? Showing vulnerability to her? 

I couldn’t let Mia mess with my feelings. I hadn’t had feelings for a long time, and I was going to keep it that way. 

"You’re right," I said, cutting the cold air. "I was going to say that last night was a mistake. And it shouldn’t happen again. I want nothing to do with you." 

She looked at me, trying to process the facts. But from now on, I would be hard with this woman. 

"Pack your things, you’re going to live in the forest. There, you’ll be safe." 

In a way, she knew she couldn’t argue with me. 

I motioned to leave the office, but her sweet voice filled the room, stopping me. 

"Ethan," she murmured, looking at me. "I need to know… I need to know who I am, and why they’re after me, and why they kidnapped Lorenzo." 

"I don’t know exactly yet. But the man who took care of you your whole life wasn’t your biological father." 

"Why would they lie to me?" 

"Maybe to protect you from what’s happening now." 

"I don’t want to spend my life running, Ethan." A solitary tear slid down her cheek. "I need a normal life." 

"You won’t," I said, my voice steady. "I’ll help you figure everything out... But you’re mixed up with wolves, Mia. Your life will never be normal. We’re animals, we can’t escape that." I locked eyes with her, and she seemed scared. 

A thin layer of snow covered the vehicle. I was sitting in the driver’s seat, waiting for Mia to get in with Lorenzo. We were heading to the forest; it was the safest place if Mia wanted to stay alive. There, she’d be near my beta, the wolves, and my sister, who insisted on not living with us, as she always preferred the outdoors of Estes Park. 

The security guard helped her grab the bags and put them in the trunk. While Mia adjusted the car seat, she looked at me, Lorenzo nestled in her arms. 

"Can you hold him while I adjust the car seat?" 

"Of course," I said, raising my arms and holding the fragile child. 

I watched him. His features were identical to mine, his hair, his ocean blue eyes. He was perfect. I wasn’t good with kids, and I didn’t know how to be a father. 

My dad was never an example of a father to me. He only taught me to be cold, and that’s what I learned. 

Lorenzo smiled as he looked at his toy car, and I smiled back at him, stroking his soft hair. For a moment, I felt like I could try to be a good father to that innocent being who, in the future, would be my successor. 

She took him from my arms, and I pulled the handbrake. We needed to get there before nightfall.

  • One Night with Alpha   33.New home

    Mia Miller The pines swayed as the wind blew, and I watched the Colorado landscape through the glass fogged by snow. Lorenzo slept peacefully in his car seat.My heart pounded in a way I couldn’t explain. The possibility of being the daughter of a werewolf haunted me. Was everything about me a lie?Why did my mother do this? Why did my father hide this and carry it with him to the grave? So many unanswered questions made my head throb.Ethan drove in silence. Between us, the air was heavy. After that night together, something had broken. He was distant, cold. Maybe it was a reflection of the fear we felt, the imminent danger. I knew he was trying to protect me, but the harshness with which he did it hurt deeply.When the car stopped in Estes Park, I realized we had arrived. The scenery was stunning, but in a way, it was unsettling. I still refused to fully believe that wolves—werewolves—lived here. How could they blend in with humans without being discovered?I got out of the car wit

  • One Night with Alpha   34.Shadows of the past

    Mia MillerI only had two decisions to make. The first: ignore Charlotte’s message and move on with my life. The second: go meet her to find out what she was going to reveal. And guess which one I chose?I quickly put on a jacket and checked to make sure Lorenzo was asleep. His eyes were closed, and he was almost dozing off in his crib. I couldn’t leave him alone, so the only option was to ask Ethan’s brother to look after him.I quietly walked over to where Esther was sleeping. She was reading a book, something about mystery, I think.“Mia?” She looked up, surprised by my late-night visit. “Is Lorenzo okay?”“Hi Esther, sorry to bother you. But could you watch Lorenzo for just an hour? An old friend I haven’t seen in a long time is here, and I’d really like to see her.”“Of course, it will be a pleasure to take care of my nephew, Mia. Don’t hesitate to ask.”I smiled in response. Esther was so kind, so different from her brother. I often wondered how two people so different could com

  • One Night with Alpha   35.Intrigues and feelings

    Ethan GreenwoodI used to believe that everything I knew about Mia was nothing compared to who she truly was. As an Alpha, it was my duty to protect my people, especially with a child involved in all of this.Nick entered the bar with an expression I didn’t like to see. Something heavy was about to be said, I could feel it. I slid the whiskey glass across the table and stared at him, waiting for him to speak.“Sir... the investigation has given us some answers, but nothing that will make us feel more at ease,” Nick said, looking around as if searching for eyes or ears that could be listening. The tension between us grew.“Just say it, Nick. What did you find?” My voice was firm, but anxiety was building up inside me.Nick took a deep breath before continuing. “Mia’s father... he’s an Alpha. Not just any pack, but from the Northern Packs.” He paused, probably waiting for a reaction, but I just kept staring at him, expecting him to get straight to the point.“Get to the point, Nick. Wha

  • One Night with Alpha   36.Whatever it takes

    EthanThe night was dark and cold, and the air carried a sense of urgency as I walked through the forest toward the village. Amber had planted a doubt in my mind, but now my priority was to find Mia. I knew she was involved in something much bigger, something she didn’t even understand yet, and that made her vulnerable.Each step I took felt heavier as my mind raced in multiple directions. What was Mia doing outside the safety of our territory? And why hadn’t she told me anything? I couldn’t deny that the thought of her being in danger only fueled my frustration. And, as always, my instinct was to act.I hated being disrespected.What Nick had told me earlier about the potion that Mia’s father kept, a dangerous curse disguised as a blessing. I knew that if those who were after her got what they wanted, it would mean chaos. She was the key to something much bigger, and maybe she didn’t even know that. Or maybe she knew more than she was letting on.I followed her trail through the fore

  • One Night with Alpha   37. Daddy

    Mia MillerHave you ever felt out of place, as if everything you knew about yourself was a lie? That feeling of urgency in your chest, wanting to change everything happening around you, but you couldn’t, because it was real… That’s exactly how I felt. It’s strange how, in the blink of an eye, your life can go from normal to a whirlwind."Get up, Mia," I heard, as the light flooded my eyes. I looked to the side and saw Ethan’s figure. Great. I never had peace."What’s up?" I mumbled. "It must still be early." He had slept here, on the couch, of course, after our argument last night."I’m taking you to our training grounds.""Training?" I raised an eyebrow. "Do wolves train?""Obviously. We need to get stronger and improve our skills whenever we can."I looked around. Lorenzo was still asleep."Why did you wake me up?""I wanted to kiss you. Will you let me?" He said, making me widen my eyes.I almost fell over at the sound of his voice saying those words."Just kidding, human. Get read

  • One Night with Alpha   38.Training

    Mia MillerMy body was completely tense. I had never practiced any kind of training; I considered myself weak. The clearing in front of us seemed serene, as if waiting for something to happen. I, however, was far from feeling calm. Ethan had spoken about "training" as if it were simple, but the truth was, I could hardly imagine taking the first step. What did he expect from me?"You'll have to be patient, Mia. The process of transformation doesn't happen overnight. It takes time for your body and mind to accept your nature," he said, as if he could read my thoughts.I crossed my arms, feeling the tension rise in my shoulders. "So, what exactly do you want me to do? Just... transform? Like it’s that easy?"Ethan looked at me seriously, his blue eyes sparkling. "No one said it would be easy. But the more you resist, the harder it will be. You need to start accepting who you really are, and that means awakening the wolf inside you."Those words echoed in my mind. Accept who I really am.

  • One Night with Alpha   39.Choices and renunciations

    Ethan GreenwoodThe sun was rising on the horizon, its soft rays filtering through the trees that surrounded our territory. The cold air brought a sense of calm, a peace I rarely felt lately. Mia and Lorenzo were safe here, but the tranquility felt more like an illusion, a prelude to something dark that was to come.The training with Mia went better than I expected. She was strong; we just needed to refine her skills. As I watched the pack training in the distance, I felt my phone vibrate in the pocket of my jacket. The number was from Nick, always pragmatic and direct. I answered on the second ring, already feeling the weight of concern."Alpha," his voice was graver than usual, "we need to talk. Now. I’ll come to you."An alert ran through my body. "What happened?" I asked, feeling the tension rise."Talk on the phone, Beta, I don't have time," Nick paused, which only heightened my anxiety."We received a message from the Blackthorn pack. They’re moving against us."My body immediat

  • One Night with Alpha   40. Unexpected encounters

    Mia MillerI think more painful than loving someone and having it go wrong is liking someone and knowing, deep down, that it will never work. This was the suffocating feeling that surrounded me every time I looked at Ethan. He was in all my thoughts, every second of my day. Ethan was the first thought when I woke up, and the last when my head touched the pillow at night. Even though everything in me screamed to stay away, to protect myself from a feeling with no future, I couldn’t. He was a jerk, selfish, and yet, irresistibly a part of me.How did I let this happen? At first, it was supposed to be just one night. A damn night. Nothing more. I went into his arms seeking comfort, trying to escape the pain caused by Collin’s betrayal. But somehow, everything turned into this—a tangle of complicated emotions, a confusion of desires and resentments. Now, I was trapped, connected to him in a way I could never undo.My gaze shifted to Lorenzo, playfully messing with his toys on the floor. T

  • One Night with Alpha   44.Silverclaw

    Mia MillerMy eyes are blindfolded. I can’t see anything, no trace of where I might be. I only know that I am in a moving car, and I want to get out of here. I try to scream, but I feel weak; he sprayed something inside the car as soon as I got in. I clasp my hands together and ask... if the Moon Goddess, who they always talk about in the pack, really exists, to save me from this and take me back to Lorenzo.The car stopped abruptly. I felt the weight of the silence around me, except for the sound of my rapid heartbeat. Still with my eyes covered, fear coursed through my veins like poison. The doors opened, and I immediately felt rough hands pulling me out, without any gentleness.“Let me go!” I tried to scream, but my voice came out weak. The substance he used in the car still made me dizzy, my body felt slow and heavy. I was dragged over what seemed to be dirt ground. I could hear the rustling of leaves beneath my feet, the wind shaking the trees. Was it a forest?The scent of wolve

  • One Night with Alpha   43. Panic

    Mia MillerThat kiss awakened feelings in me that I thought had died. I knew it was forbidden, I knew he wasn't right for me. That everything was a mistake. But they always told me that the forbidden was more enticing. And even though I knew the Alpha wasn't the person who would make me happy, I gave myself completely.His touches… his warm mouth on mine. Skin on skin. I didn’t know how to react to all of it. On that terrace, naked, looking at the moonlight, I couldn’t think of anything bad. Only the present moment.His fingers were sliding down my body, caressing my waist. I felt something different, like a primitive instinct I didn’t even know existed was taking over me. I was a wolf. And it was hard to accept that. I was in denial. But when I smelled his scent, I forgot everything.While we looked at the starry sky, I broke the silence.“What do you feel for me?” I let the question slip out.“What kind of question is that now?” He smiled faintly.“Just answer, Ethan.”He stood up,

  • One Night with Alpha   42.The last dinner

    Ethan Greenwood. I hated the feeling of being pressured. Alphas were made to give orders, command, and control their pack, not be pressured.I was in one of the offices inherited from my father. We were respected throughout the city because my father had many businesses here, and all the wolves, humans, whoever they were, respected the Greenwood name. This situation would never have happened with my father. The feared Alpha.For a long time, I thought I was like him. But if I had to choose between marrying a she-wolf I couldn’t stand and protecting my son, I would choose the latter."Alpha." Nick entered the office with the phone in hand."What is it?" I stared at him."The leader of the pack wants to talk to you, Ethan."Oh no... What does that son of a bitch want?I grabbed the phone from the beta’s hands quickly. I was ready to tell him a few choice words."What do you want?" I said through gritted teeth."Is that how you talk to old friends, Alpha Greenwood?""We’re not friends.

  • One Night with Alpha   41.Continuous visions.

    Mia Miller "So I have to know how to dodge several wolves in a possible attack?" I ask, leaning toward Ethan."If you want to stay alive, yes," he whispers.The training with Ethan continued. I had been trying to avoid him, but it was impossible. He was the father of my child, and we lived in the same environment. As much as I wanted to avoid him with all my heart, I couldn’t.We paused the training to catch our breath. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. His sweaty body revealed his perfectly toned abs, and his hair was almost wet with sweat. It was hard to look at Ethan Greenwood without wanting him."When can I go back to the city?" I asked, breaking the silence between us."As soon as it’s safe," he said in monosyllabic words."The people... Well, the wolves here don’t like me, Ethan. And they make that pretty clear. And then there’s Amber.""You care too much about others, Mia. What matters is that I’m the Alpha, and I’m in charge here. You’re the mother of my firstborn.
