I left him just as he did me. Liam Kane and his mixed signals weren’t going to consume my thoughts anymore. I was done.

The other trainers brought over more drinks, and I threw myself into the chaos of the night. The music was loud, the energy electric, and the alcohol flowed freely. It didn’t take long before I was dancing, flirting, and losing myself in the sea of bodies.

I didn’t care who I was talking to, as long as they could distract me from the ache in my chest. Then he caught my attention—a tall, broad-shouldered man with piercing eyes and an air of dominance that made my pulse race.

He had this confidence, this magnetism, that drew me in immediately. I smiled at him, and he returned it with a smirk that promised trouble. He leaned in, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine as he offered to buy me a drink.

For a moment, I thought I’d found my one

    Friends. That sounded perfect. It gave me time to deal with my mom’s expectations, Olivia’s meddling, and the chaos swirling around me. With Alex as just a friend, I could keep him close without complicating things any further. Or so I told myself. Now, sitting in a high-stakes conference room with Nathan Cross, the arrogance radiating from him was testing every ounce of patience I had left. We were negotiating a multi-billion-dollar contract—a deal that could solidify my position as one of the top players in this city. All I needed was for Nathan to sell me his land, and the numbers spoke for themselves. But his smug demeanor was driving me up the wall. “I’ll sign this contract,” Nathan said, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather, “if you let me have your boy toy.” The blood in my veins boiled. My wolf growled low, clawing at the edges of my control. Alex was my bottom line, the one person

  • Secret Infatuation    Alex- Secrets

    Liam’s presence was always larger than life, even when he was just sitting across from me in a quiet diner. I wasn’t sure if I was grateful or annoyed that he’d waited for me after the gym, but a part of me was thrilled, and a part of me didn’t want to admit to it. When he asked why I moved here, it caught me off guard. It wasn’t that I hadn’t expected the question eventually, but I hadn’t planned on answering it tonight. Yet, something about Liam made me feel safe. Like I didn’t have to keep everything locked up inside. “I needed a fresh start,” I told him, my fingers fiddling with the edge of my napkin. It was vague, but it was the truth. He nodded, his expression thoughtful. “That makes sense. Sometimes, a change of scenery is the best thing you can do for yourself.” His understanding made it easier to continue, though I kept it surface-level. “The city I li

    Nathan lingered at my side while I watched Liam and Olivia take their seats. My pulse was racing, and the sinking feeling in my gut deepened with every second Liam’s gaze stayed on me. It wasn’t just a glance. It was a deliberate, piercing look that demanded my attention. “You look rattled,” Nathan said, his tone light but laced with amusement. “Don’t tell me seeing him with her bothers you. I thought you said you were just friends.” I clenched my jaw, unwilling to let Nathan see how deeply the situation was affecting me. “I’m fine,” I muttered. “Let’s go.” But Nathan didn’t move. Instead, he leaned casually against the restaurant’s glass door, his smirk firmly in place. “You know, I’m starting to think Liam has more of a hold on you than you’re willing to admit.” I turned to him, my irritation bubbling to the surface. “You’re awfully interested in my relationship with Liam. Why?”

  • Secret Infatuation    Liam- Photograph

    The moment Olivia walked into the restaurant, I knew it wasn’t a coincidence. Her arrival felt calculated, her smile too perfect, and then she glided over to our table. My wolf bristled at her presence, and the energy between Alex and me immediately shifting at her arrival disrupted whatever connection we’d been forming. I clenched my jaw, and she slid into the booth next to me, her hand casually resting on my arm. “Liam, darling, fancy running into you here,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with fake innocence. Alex tensed across the table, his gaze darting between us. His body language screamed discomfort, and the conversation we were having just moments ago evaporated into the air. My patience was running thin. Alex left the cafe with a disappointed look on his face. I hated seeing him like this every time we talked. “Olivia,” I said curtly, turning my attention to her, “what do you really wa

  • Secret Infatuation    Liam- Red wolf

    The forest was eerily quiet as the evening stretched into night. The air was heavy, thick with the anticipation of the full moon's arrival. My house, nestled deep within the woods, felt more isolated than ever, its walls barely containing the storm brewing inside me. Tonight wasn’t just any night—it was a full moon, the one time of the month when my wolf demanded freedom, no matter how much I resisted. I’d called Olivia earlier and told her to meet me here. If she wanted to be part of my world, she needed to see it in its rawest, most dangerous form. It wasn’t a decision I’d made lightly, but her recent actions left me with little choice. If she wanted leverage over me, she’d have to understand exactly what she was dealing with. The sound of her car crunching over the gravel driveway broke the stillness. I stepped onto the porch, and she exited the car, her heels clicking against the stone path. She was dressed to impress, as always, though

  • Secret Infatuation    Alex- Black wolf

    The forest was peaceful, yet the energy from my earlier encounter with the massive black wolf lingered in my mind. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something significant had happened tonight. The wolf had been massive, powerful, yet completely non-threatening. It had approached me with a strange gentleness, as if it knew me or wanted me to know it. I chuckled softly to myself, shaking my head. “What the hell, Alex? Talking to a wolf like it’s a person. I need to get out more.” The thought of the wolf, though, lingered. The way it had allowed me to touch it, to stroke its fur without fear. I could still feel the coarse texture of its coat beneath my fingertips. It wasn’t just an animal; there was something more there. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt drawn to it. I made my way back toward the trail leading home, I thought about Liam. I hated how he constantly occupied my thoughts, even w

  • Secret Infatuation    Liam- 2 weeks

    The ache in my muscles from the full moon shift was still fresh, but my mom’s gentle care had helped me recover faster than usual. She always knew exactly what to do to ease the strain on my body after the transformation, and her presence was a reminder that, no matter how much weight I carried, I wasn’t alone. But today, my mind wasn’t on recovery. It was on the red wolf. That unfamiliar scent from the night before still lingered in my memory, and I couldn’t shake the questions it raised. Who was it? Why was it here? And why did it step in to protect Alex? I set out into the forest surrounding my house, walking in my human form this time. The cool breeze whispered through the trees, carrying the scents of damp earth and the remnants of last night’s rain. I followed faint trails and claw marks, but the red wolf’s scent was faint, barely traceable. It was as if it had vanished into thin air. Just when I was about to give up and head toward Nathan Cross’s land, which was the mo

  • Secret Infatuation    Liam- Answers

    The two weeks ahead loomed like a storm cloud over my head, and I didn’t know how I would keep myself distracted. The thought of leaving Alex for that long was almost unbearable. Every fiber of my being wanted to stay, to linger in his presence, to make sure Nathan didn’t weasel his way into his life. But a deal was a deal, and I wasn’t one to go back on my word. I was sitting in my office, trying to drown myself in work, when a knock interrupted my thoughts. My assistant stepped in, carrying a manila envelope in her hands. “Here are the findings from the investigation into your background,” she said, placing it on the desk in front of me. “Thanks,” I replied curtly, waiting for her to leave before I picked it up. Sliding my finger under the flap, I pulled out the contents and froze. My heart skipped a beat when I stared at an old photograph. My mother stood there, smiling, next t

    The next morning, I went back to the gym as usual, half-hoping—no, expecting—to find Alex there. I needed to talk to him. To explain. To fix the damage before it was too late. But when I walked in, Brandon was standing by the weights instead. Not Alex. Brandon gave me a polite nod. “Morning, Mr. Kane. Ready to get started?” I frowned, scanning the gym, my wolf restless beneath my skin. “Where’s Alex?” Brandon hesitated, adjusting the strap on his gloves before answering. “He… requested a leave of absence. Said there was a family emergency.” I stilled. A family emergency? Bullshit. It was too convenient. I clenched my jaw, inhaling deeply to steady myself. I knew Brandon wasn’t lying. He had no reason to; but Alex was. He was running. Again. And I had no intention of letting him slip away this time. I went through the motions of my workout, but my mind wasn’t in it. My body burned from the exertion, but it was nothing compared to the frustration clawing at my chest. As

    Damn it. Why was it so hard to just tell Alex the truth? He had asked me point-blank, and all I had to do was say it. Nathan Cross is my brother. But the words never came out. Instead, I stood there like an idiot, choking on my own damn secrets, and watched him walk away. And when he walked away this time, he wasn’t just angry. He was done. The second the door slammed shut, I bolted. I ran down the hallway, through the lobby, and straight out onto the quiet, empty streets, searching for any sign of him. But Alex was gone. The night air was cold, thick with the scent of rain, and the eerie silence of the city at this hour only made the weight in my chest worse. He was just gone. I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand down my face. His whole mood had shifted after tal

    I could feel Emma’s heated stare burning into me, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary while we drove in silence. Just say it already, Emma. “You’re not gonna talk?” she finally snapped, her voice sharp with frustration. “Fine, I’ll do it for you.” I swallowed hard, already bracing myself. “Is he the reason you dropped everything and moved three states away?” she demanded. “Where you didn’t know anyone? Where you didn’t even have a pot to piss in? Was it because of him?” Her voice trembled on the last word, anger barely concealing the pain beneath it. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Because everything she said was true. My silence was her answer. The car was too quiet, save for the occasional sound of the road beneath us. And then, like a dam breaking, tears bega

    Dragging both Liam and Olivia into the hotel suite had been a struggle, but adrenaline had pushed me forward. My heart pounded while I maneuvered them onto the bed and chair, my mind racing to figure out what had happened. One minute, they were fine; laughing, drinking, and blending seamlessly into the charity event. The next, both of them were barely able to stand, their limbs heavy, their eyes unfocused. It didn’t make sense. Thank the Goddess for Liam’s assistant. They had stepped in without hesitation, helping me get them out of there before things got worse. Now, sitting at Liam’s bedside, I watched him carefully. His breathing was steady, but his body still looked tense, like he was caught between wakefulness and unconsciousness. Olivia, across the room, stirred slightly, her fi

    I decided to stay in the pack’s territory for a few more days, immersing myself in a world I had never been a part of yet was undeniably connected to. Walking through the village nestled within the dense forest, where homes blended seamlessly into nature, built from stone and wood, reinforced with the strength of a pack united. Despite my initial reservations, I saw how deeply the people respected Marcus. Wolves of all ages greeted him with deference, their gazes full of admiration. Elders approached to share stories of battles fought alongside my father, of victories that ensured their survival. Children peeked out from behind their mothers’ skirts, their eyes filled with innocent curiosity as they sensed something different about him. I found myself studying them, trying to understand this life that had been meant for me to inherit. They lived by rules, rituals of unity, training regimens, and the unspoken

  • Secret Infatuation    Liam- Nathan Cross was my brother

    The resemblance had always been there, but I had never thought much of it. Nathan—Caleb—had has always been an enigma, a powerful force that moved through the city with precision and dominance. I had spent years at odds with him, clashing over land, business, and influence. Now, knowing he was my brother? It changed everything. I didn’t know how to process it, but I also didn’t have the energy to fight the storm brewing in my mind. Marcus, sensing my inner turmoil, invited me to stay the night. “Let everything settle,” he said, pouring me another glass of whiskey. “Tomorrow, I’ll show you the pack. I want you to understand what you’re part of.” I wasn’t sure what I was feeling. Was it anger, resentment, or maybe even curiosity, but I agreed. The next morning, I woke up to the sound of birds chir

    “When I met your mother, I was already bound to my pack’s laws,” he began. “Our kind, Liam, we don’t just marry who we want. We don’t love freely without consequences. Wolves are bound by rules and traditions that go back centuries. And one of the biggest laws of all?” He met my gaze, his golden-hazel eyes burning with something unreadable. “We don’t mate with humans; however, your mother was my fated mate.” I tensed, my grip on the glass tightening. “So, what? You knew that and still pursued her?” He nodded. “I did. Because I was selfish. Because I thought I could have it all. Your mother was unlike anyone I’d ever met. Strong, beautiful, intelligent. She challenged me in ways no wolf ever could. I loved her, Liam.” “Then why did you treat her like she was less than you? Like she was property?” Pain

  • Secret Infatuation    Liam- State your business

    The next morning, I set out for the address on the back of the picture. I had tossed and turned all night, my mind filled with questions about my past, my father, and the brother I never knew. Now, it was time for answers. Driving through the countryside, I eventually reached the location. To only realize that it was right in the middle of the land I had been trying to buy from Nathan. The irony of it all didn’t escape me. The very land I wanted for my waterpark and casino resort held ties to my bloodline. The entrance to the gated community was heavily guarded, with tall iron fences and security cameras at every angle. The guards, dressed in black tactical gear, looked more like mercenaries than simple security personnel. One of them approached my car, peering through the tinted window with a scrutinizing glare. “State your business.” I kept my expression neut

  • Secret Infatuation    Alex- Not with me

    Last night, I don’t know what came over me. Maybe it was the rain, the warmth of Liam’s presence, or the way he looked at me like I was the only person in the world. But for the first time, I let go of my reservations and showed him a side of me I usually kept hidden. Now, staring at the note he left behind—See you next week. Be ready for the charity ball. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Liam was up to something. Was he planning to show up and rescue me from Nathan? The thought sent a rush of anticipation through me, but at the same time, it left me uneasy. Nathan had been relentless since last week, constantly finding ways to be around me—whether at the gym or the restaurant where I worked. At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but I wasn’t naive. He was trying to wear me down, to make me see him as an option. I wasn’t going to lie—Nathan was a generous tipper. But money wasn
