Edeline

As tears filled my eyes again, the pain was raw and intense. The wolf inside me was searching for her mate, and though I didn’t blame Z, I couldn’t ignore the anger towards Tatiana. I was determined to see her gone.

My feelings were a tangled mess. I watched him transform into his wolf form, a bittersweet longing swelling in my chest. The absence of his touch was a painful void. I made my way back to the mattress and lay down on his side, burying my face in his pillow, which only made me cry harder.

That’s it. I’m done.

Alpha had mentioned that he’d come up with an alternative plan if the baby was born, but the idea of being in a relationship with him now felt tainted. If the pup were to pass away, it might be the only way to make this work. Or perhaps Tatiana would be the key.

My heart was still aching, with the pieces that once tried to mend themselves now scattered and broken. I felt like a collection of shattered fragments, barely holding together.

Yeah, but he really love

    EdelineOnce we reached the house, I shifted back and rushed around to the back deck, where we kept spare clothes for emergencies. I quickly threw on a hoodie and basketball shorts, feeling a bit of relief as I tucked the box into my front pocket. I pulled out the necklace and settled onto the top step of the back porch.The full moon bathed the intricate pattern of the locket in silver light, and I could clearly see the anchor at its center. I ran my fingers over the surface, lost in thought...Why did he say he loved me?Why now?Meeting him a few times might not have been the best decision, but I already knew that.I knew getting attached would only lead to more heartache, but the allure of self-inflicted pain was irresistible. Hanging out with a buddy... it was complicated to describe.I’d always wondered why some wolves chose to reject their mate by mating with others. It wasn’t just a simple rejection; it felt like a deep, almost primal connection to the original partner. Even a

    EdelineMan, I’ve had my fill of exhaustion, excitement, heartache, nervousness, and confusion today. Alright, time to hit the hay. I’ll catch up with Nixx tomorrow and get all the details.I really hoped I wouldn't be overwhelmed by anxiety tonight while I found myself alone with my thoughts....I stared at the blinds, watching as the sun slowly rose higher in the sky. With each passing hour, its light grew stronger, pushing away the night and making the moon retreat to the other side of the world.Restless nights have been a part of my life before, but last night was different. All I could do was think, shedding a few tears and lost in contemplation. It seems this will be my life for the next eight months.A pounding headache greeted me as sunlight streamed into my bedroom. I didn't feel like getting out of bed today. Besides chatting with Nixx, who sneaked in around 2 a.m., I hadn't done much. I made it back home by midnight, but Nixx ended up staying out longer than planned. I wa

    Edeline“Hey, Edeline, I’ve got some errands to run outside the pack today. I’ll be heading into human territory, so I’ll be away for a bit. I’ve left breakfast out, so just put it away if there’s any left,” she said, avoiding eye contact.What on earth could she be up to in the middle of nowhere on a lazy Saturday? “Mom. Love you.”She finally lifted her gaze and looked deeply into my eyes. “I love you too, Edeline. Just hang in there and be patient. I have a feeling everything will work out for you, whether it’s with Percival or someone else who brings you happiness. Tell your brother I love him dearly. I’ll have a one-on-one conversation with him later.” Her eyes were filled with tears, a sign of how stressed she’d been lately. With a soft smile, I gave a nod of agreement before heading upstairs.I lightly knocked on Nixx’s door. “Hey, Nixx, can you open up?”From inside, I heard him sigh, shuffle some sheets, and then the door creaked open. He peeked through with one tired eye and

    Edeline“So, like, why would she even say she’s going to mate with Percival? She isn’t. Everything is just temporary. He turned her down. So, why wouldn’t a female wolf want to know who her mate is? All we think about after a shift is that!” I asked, my voice rising in disbelief.Nixx nodded quietly. “So, I asked her what would happen if things were different, you know? And she just shrugged it off, saying it didn’t matter. She already had her path set and apologized for it. I brought up the fact that she might end up losing the pup, and that seemed to worry her a bit. I was curious—why would I want a wolf like that? But I couldn’t help but wonder, if she miscarried, would she think of me? Well, she shut that down real quick, Edeline. She said no, she would already be mated to Percival by then. And if not him, then some other alpha, because apparently I’m not the one for her. Her dad’s counting on her to bring an alpha to the table and secure the pack’s future. It’s her responsibility

    EdelineThe sun was shining on my face, and birds were cheerfully chirping outside my window. Their melody whisked me away to a tranquil meadow, bursting with colorful wildflowers and the fresh breeze of an early spring day—even though spring was still a few seasons off. I basked in the warmth of the sun, letting my mind drift through daydreams."That’s pretty wild. Easygoing."That’s the way I’d always imagined myself: a laid-back seventeen-year-old she-wolf with no worries.But right now, I was far from that ideal. From the start, this friendship had cast a shadow over me. The nights spent sobbing in my room at the pack house... I’d skip showers, just so I could lounge in bed and drown in my own misery.But that chapter of my life was over. This was a fresh start. I had some old memories that could turn into a mess, but I was determined to keep them in check.Once Nixx left for his mission, I decided it was the perfect time to grab some breakfast before taking a shower and figuring

    EdelineI stepped out of the side door of the mudroom, glancing around and taking a deep breath, trying to catch his scent. I thought it might be fun to check out the woods near my favorite spot. Darius loved running and hunting there because of the challenging terrain. He always said it was more of a challenge that way.Instead of sticking to my usual path through the woods, I decided to switch things up. I veered off onto the dirt road leading towards Alpha William's family home and a few others. The road ended at a forest, so I figured Darius might start there if he decided to shift and go for a run or hunt.As I walked past Alpha William’s house, I caught a whisper of something in the distance. I took a deep breath, and there it was—Darius’s scent mixed with a nauseatingly sweet gardenia. Tatiana!I moved as far as I could without risking being spotted. The wind was blowing north, so my scent wouldn’t carry. My curiosity was piqued by the loud voices, and my wolf was restless, pa

    EdelineWithout hesitating, I turned and sprinted toward the packhouse, my feet barely touching the ground. The clouds above were growing darker and thicker, mirroring my mood. Even though Darius apologized, I still couldn’t shake the unease I felt about him talking to Tatiana. I didn’t trust her and her constant questions. She wouldn’t harm anyone from my community, not if I could help it.The wind whipped through my hair, a brief comfort as I reached the packhouse just in time to catch Nixx leaving his meeting with Alpha William. His brow was furrowed, and his hands were clenched tightly, his forearms bulging with tension.A surge of curiosity and concern washed over me, making me want to reach out to him."Hey, hold up!" I called out, my words carried by the wind as I hurried toward him. But he didn’t wait, his eyes locked on mine before he turned and walked away."Hey, what's up? What happened?" I asked, my voice still a bit rough from trying to catch my breath. My eyes scanned th

    EdelineI pulled back a bit, our eyes locking. "Maybe that’s the only reason, Nixx. It could be because he’s an Alpha. Did William, as the Alpha, tell you not to talk to her?"A sly grin tugged at the corner of his lips, like he just pieced something together. "Uh... yeah, he didn’t."I smiled. "So, like, you can totally do whatever you want." But my smile faded as I thought it over. "Hey, what's your endgame here? Are you really trying to make everything disappear so you can be with her? Even if she's hiding some deep, dark secrets?""I don't know, Edeline," he admitted, his voice low and uncertain. "I’m not sure what I feel... I just have this weird desire to see their relationship fall apart. It’s not that I actually want her, but there’s something that stirs in me when I catch her scent or see her. She’s different somehow... I don’t know if I could ever really accept her. But I need to uncover the truth."I gave him a small, understanding smile and nodded. "Well, I guess you'll ge

    Percival Edeline’s eyes were locked on me as she marched over, grabbing my forearm and pulling me along with her. The contact felt like fire igniting on my skin. She was fired up—angry, for sure.She dragged me into the equipment shed, out of sight, and then—wham!—she whacked me right in the eye.I let out a low growl and slowly turned my face back to hers. Anger radiated off her as she raised her other hand, ready to swing at me again. I managed to grab her wrist before she could land another hit, squeezing gently around her slim wrist. “What the heck, Edeline?!” I exclaimed, my lip curling to reveal my fang. Low warning growls rumbled from my chest. The wolf inside me was not thrilled, but at least she appreciated that this wasn’t happening in front of the pack. Don’t mess with my authority.“Hey! Did you give that girl false hope or what? I know you have not hooked up with her because I would have sensed it!” Her nose wrinkled, eyes blazing with fury. Then, I caught a scent from

    Percival Promoting her to lead female warrior might not have been the best decision after all. She was my top fighter, having trained hard before I stepped in, but now I was left questioning my judgment. We didn’t have an expert on board yet, and Jazz’s ambition made me wary.She tucked a loose, curly strand behind her ear, looking up at me with her big green eyes, her skin a lovely shade of creamed coffee. She was undeniably pretty, but just not my type. “Hey, Percival... what if we tried something different with the ladies?” She edged closer, taking a deep breath as if to check out my scent.It might sound wild, but the night before last, after showering and snuggling up in bed with Edeline, I had rubbed against her, soaking in her scent. Waking up without her made me skip a shower yesterday—or maybe even today. I just wanted to hold onto that connection a little longer. Jazz caught a whiff of Edeline’s scent, and her eyebrows shot up.“Hey, is Edeline back?” she asked, her voice

    Edeline“I totally get it, Nixx. It is something else. Really special. I see what you mean.” My gaze drifted to his cuffs, curiosity piquing as I furrowed my brow. “Have you been a bit risky? What does your world do to people?” I tilted my head, observing the way he passed the bracelet back to me, unable to take his eyes off it.“My wolf is stronger, you know? Sometimes I just cannot control him and end up lashing out at people who get on my nerves. Percival dealt with the same stuff. He wants to help me train like Gaspar did for him, but all I can think about is Tatiana and the pup I lost. It is tough.” A wave of sadness washed over him, dimming the light in his eyes.“Nixx,” I sighed, “why are you still hung up on losing the pup? Mirabelle was only a few months along, right? You never even met him, and you can have pups with your real mate. You could not have had both. Tatiana would have been jealous of you and him. Trust me, I get it. Tatiana is a beta, and her wolf would have want

    EdelineHe really needed his not-so-little sister. I would hit him up first, and then maybe I would finally have the guts to talk to Percival about everything. After some tough training, of course. It had been a few days since I had a solid training session. Muscle disappears faster than it builds up, and I really hoped that did not happen. If I wanted to keep being the warrior I had turned into, I had to stay on top of my stamina. But I was not sure my buddy would let me train, especially since my heat was just around the corner, and my scent was driving everyone wild. I had to remember to grab my tea after I hopped out of the shower. As I walked in the front door of my parents’ place, the cozy scent of clove hit me, pulling me back into sweet memories. I could not help but think about what might happen during this heat. The last one just did not do it for me. Did I even want him to help me out this time? Or would I just prefer to be out of it for that? I figured the latter was

    EdelineI stared down at our hands, chewing on his words. He might have a point. When I left and went to Conrad’s place, I told myself I was moving on. I threw myself into letting it all go—this life, these people, everything. But once I got some space, the wolves around me nudged me toward the truth. They made me confront my feelings about Percival, especially after I caught myself feeling jealous over him. He was just my friend, nothing more, but still... I had to deal with that. But Darius? I buried that pain deep and left it to rot. Never talked about him, never thought about him for too long. I got stronger, yeah. But I didn’t heal. Not really. And that’s why I’m still stuck. I turned my head toward William, blinking back the sting in my eyes. “How am I supposed to feel about him?” My voice cracked, and I felt my throat tighten again. “Look at what he did.” I swallowed hard, trying to keep it together, but the words dragged me down, making my chest feel heavy. “How am I s

    EdelineI never really hated Percival before that. He had done some stuff, sure—but it never made me hate him. Not until that night. That night, I hated him more than anything. My wolf hated him too. My skin side—yeah, she wanted revenge just as bad. But then the truth hit me. Darius was the monster. Not Percival. I spent all of yesterday lying around, trying to make sense of everything. Today, I thought maybe a walk would help me clear my head, so I came here. To the waterfall—the spot I loved the most. And now, here I am. Staring at his grave. Why here? Why did they bury him here of all places? Not in the pack’s graveyard, where the rest of them are. No—right here, beneath the tree that used to be ours. Our spot. My throat tightened, and the tears started before I could stop them. My heart felt like someone had tied a rope around it and was pulling it tighter and tighter. I reached out, tracing his name on the headstone with shaky fingers, as if touching the letters wo

    PercivalI hoped I didn’t annoy her. I understood she was strong, but my Alpha side just wanted to look out for my mate. I was trying to communicate my feelings through the mate bond, to reassure her I was here for her.The corner of her mouth lifted in a quick smile. "It's all good."Shaking my head, I did what I felt compelled to do. I walked over, scooping her up in my arms. She gasped in surprise as I carried her across the room to the salvaged bed. Her eyes widened, taking in the effort I had made to clean up for her."I’ll grab you something to wear. Your clothes are wrecked." I stifled a laugh as I laid her down on the bed. I missed the feel of her skin against mine, even from that brief moment before I had to let her go to find her a t-shirt and some clean boxers.I had both boxers and boxer briefs, but lately, I definitely preferred the briefs. Guess it was just part of growing up!As I returned to her, Edeline’s gaze was fixed on my bare torso. She looked up at me with that

    EdelineI would not run anymore.“Hey, let me wash your back, my little warrior.” His breath brushed against my warm skin, and a rush of desire coursed through me as his deep voice stirred something inside. My breath caught in my throat as I locked eyes with him.“I got this.” I really could not let him get close. It would only make the cramps worse, and the desire was already doing a number on me.He nodded, totally understanding what I was thinking through our connection.As he stood up, I could not help but let my eyes wander over him, pausing at his chiseled abs and then down to his pelvis. Right there in the middle was a thick, four-inch tattoo of an infinity symbol.Mated wolves have this thing where they let anyone who catches a glimpse of their skin below the waist know they have a mate. This tattoo meant a lot. A lump formed in my throat as my eyes began to water. How long had he been dealing with this?It was like he could read my mind—probably because he could. He looked

    EdelineHis eyes were no longer filled with wonder; they carried pain and knowledge. Yet, despite it all, those piercing blue eyes had remained the same, shining even brighter against his sun-kissed skin. His hair was longer on top and shorter on the sides, giving him a more polished look.He looked even more handsome now, completely in charge of himself. The way he moved, the way he held himself—it all made me wonder about the changes in him and what had shaped him during our time apart.“You hungry?” His deep voice pulled me back to reality, his eyes locking onto mine.I was still feeling shy, and I wondered why that was.“I’m fine,” I whispered, trying to keep my voice steady.He nodded and made his way to the door. “I’ll give you some space. I can tell you’re not really feeling it with me around. Just hit me up when you’re ready, and I’ll help you get to bed since you’re not feeling great.” He flashed a sad smile and reached for the doorknob.My heart raced a bit. I really did not
