LEVI:

The days have been long. Too damn long that I don’t even know how I’m still breathing through it. I wake up, and she’s the first thought. I close my eyes, and she’s still there—always there.

Ever since I saw her kiss him, I’ve been trying to claw my way out of whatever hell she left me in, but the way she melted into him like he was the only thing that mattered—I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. I’ve tried to move on. Forced myself to. Got girls to spend the night. Pretty ones. Soft voices, eager hands, but the moment they climb into my space, I cannot even touch them.

Their skin feels like acid against mine, and I guess it is my punishment from the goddess. Slowly torturing and reminding me I don’t get to feel good without her. When she came over last week for my last shot, her expression was blank even after seeing the girl in my be

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   FATHER AND DAUGHTER

    THIRD PERSON POV:Blue is sitting at her desk in class, painting what she assumes is a picture of Elias and her mother. Her teacher, Mrs. Walter, walks up to her, stopping a few inches from her.“Blue,” she calls out in a soft tone, and Blue turns to the sight of the black dress in front of her. She looks up at her teacher, a brown-haired lady in her mid-thirties.“Yes, Mrs. Walter.” A smile forms on Blue’s face as she tries to answer politely, like her mother has taught her.“Your mother is busy, and the Luna has sent someone from the Alpha’s house to come get you.” When she says this, Blue’s face falls, as she had planned to show her mother her drawing.It has been almost a week since Elias left, and she wishes he would live permanently with them, because he makes her mum happier.“Okay, Mrs. Walter,” Blue answers, facing her drawing again.Mrs. Walter understands her tone, so she tries to keep Blue company. She is her latest student, one she is yet to figure out. She isn’t rude, bu

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   FATHERLY LOVE

    LEVI:I make payment for Blue while I sit in a corner, honoring the greetings of pack members with my eyes on her as she plays on the bouncing castle. The place is rowdy, with a lot of children, but somehow I can single out her own giggle, which weirdly warms my heart. I can’t tell if it is my connection with Kookie at work, but seeing her daughter happy makes me happy, too.Instead of sulking about my mistakes, I sit there, determined to make the best out of it. Maybe my mother is right, and I have not been man enough. I know Kookie will not just accept an apology, but I will keep trying to work my way to her heart, even if it means giving up all I have. This is what I never knew I needed—a daughter. A daughter from the woman I love. She isn’t even my biological daughter, but the mere fact she belongs to Kookie makes me want to care for her like she is mine.After a moment, she runs to me breathless, with nothing but her socks on.&ldqu

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   SHE KNOWS

    KOOKIE:My blood pressure shoots through the roof when I learn the person who picked up Blue is Levi. I stare at Luna Jasmine, hoping for a good explanation, but she says nothing as I fume with anger. How could she do this to me? I thought she liked me, but it seems she is only trying to sabotage me. Why would she even let Levi near my daughter? I rush to the window, looking out to see Levi’s car pulling up.“I am sorry, Luna Jasmine, but I have to leave.” I take a step towards the door, and she speaks.“I know Levi is her father.”My blood runs cold, freezing me in place as a chill runs up my spine. Involuntarily, my body turns to face her, and I open my mouth to speak, but the words do not come out.“Wha... what are you saying?” I finally ask. Then I shake my head, trying to deny it. “Elias is the father of my child, and we have been together for six years.”Luna Jasmine rolls her eyes.

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   A WOMAN

    KOOKIE:Today is the day my life changes.I recently turned eighteen, and there is no mate in sight, which gives me hope that Alpha Prince Levi is my mate.Today is my induction—the day I finally step into my role after years of studying werewolf medicine abroad. My pulse races as excitement fills me, but mostly because I get to see Levi again after three years.I exhale shakily, smoothing my dress as I stand before the mirror, staring at my reflection. The silk fabric clings to my figure, the deep blue color complementing my pale skin. Luna sent it days ago as a congratulatory gift for passing my final exams. The thought makes me smile because I know Levi must have picked it out—blue is his favorite color on me.Levi has been my best friend for years, and we practically grew up together with my father being Beta. As kids, we always believed we were meant to be mates. Even our parents believed it, and Luna used to joke that if I wasn’t Levi’s mate, she’d exile our mates so we could be

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   SILENT REJECTION

    Kookie“There you are,” my mother says just as I catch the glowing jewel on Amber’s finger. My throat goes dry as I turn around, staring at my mother.What is happening?Tears blur my vision as I look between my mother and Levi, silently begging for an explanation. The ache in my chest is unbearable, threatening to rip me apart. A sob escapes before I can hold it back, and my mother reaches for my hand.“Come on, baby,” she whispers gently.But I yank my hand away.Lifting the hem of my gown, I turn and run without looking back.Why, Moon Goddess? Why would you give me a mate only to make him love someone else?I question the Moon Goddess as if she is standing right in front of me. I don’t get far before a firm hand grips my wrist, stopping me in my tracks. My chest heaves as I turn, finding my father’s eyes tinged with sadness. My mother is right behind him, breathless from chasing after me.My legs buckle, and I crash against my father’s chest, sobbing.“What’s happening, Dad?” I ma

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   ALL FORMS OF BETRAYAL

    KOOKIE:I wake up with the worst bellyache, and I already know what it means. It has been a month since that night with Levi, and as a doctor, I do not need a test to confirm that I am pregnant, but I find myself in front of the bathroom mirror, clutching the pregnancy test kit in trembling hands, praying I am wrong.Peeing into a cup, I dip the stick in and wait, my heart hammering against my ribs. The seconds stretch endlessly, and when I finally gather the courage to look, my stomach drops as two bold lines glare back at me.My legs give out, and I crash onto the floor with my hands still clutching the stick. Tears spill down my cheeks as I beat myself up for not taking a pill. I was too shaken after that night to even think of taking one. But this is worse, and I wish I could go back to prevent it.Maybe he will change and call off the engagement when he hears this. The thought slithers into my mind, and I try to shake it off, but the reality of raising a child alone as an eightee

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   KOOKIE MORNINGSTAR DIED

    KOOKIE:My paws pound relentlessly against the earth as I run through the forest, stretching endlessly before me. I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I am never turning back.The thought of staying back in that pack means a lifetime of lies, of watching them pretend they never broke me. My baby deserves better than a father like Levi—or even my family. It is my duty to protect her, and I will do so even if it costs me my life.Exhaustion soon takes over, and the setting sun begins to give way to the moon. I’ve run so far that nothing smells familiar anymore—just the leafy green trees, which remind me of the herbs we practiced with in school.Finally, my legs give out, and my wolf shifts back against my will, causing me to collapse onto the cold forest floor, gasping for air. I lean against the rough bark of a tree, pressing my trembling hand to my chest.A sudden crackle splits through the sky, causing me to snap my head up as lightning flashes in the distance, illuminating the f

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   THE WEEKLY VIRUS

    SIX YEARS LATERDR. SAGE (KOOKIE):Six years of pain, and I am finally living a bit of my dream life in a small pack with my daughter—the only light in my world. She sits in the backseat, swinging her tiny legs, humming along to the soft melody of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off, playing from the car speakers. I smile as I sing along with her, my heart swelling with warmth.The road ahead is clear, with the morning sun streaming into the car, and for a fleeting moment, everything feels perfect.Suddenly, we come to a halt in front of the school, and Blue claps her hands excitedly.“We arrived before Charlotte, yay!” she cheers, bouncing in her seat. I glance out the window to see her friend’s father pulling up a few meters away.“Yay,” I echo softly.I reach for the door handle, but before I can unlock it, her tiny voice stops me.“Mommy?”I look into the rearview mirror, meeting her beautiful golden eyes—eyes that remind me too much of him.“Will I ever see my daddy?”A sharp pang crosse

    Kookie’s :No matter how much I try, the news about Elias leaving horrifies me. I thought I would be over it this morning, but knowing I will wake up alone in two days makes the worry in my chest weigh me down. The warmth of Elias beside me is the only thing that feels authentic right now, the only comfort in the storm brewing in my heart.I don’t want to open my eyes, don’t want to face the reality that tomorrow, he’ll be gone. Tears slip down the sides of my face, soaking into the pillow beneath my cheek. I try to stifle the sob, but it comes anyway, a soft, aching sound that breaks through the stillness of the room. I feel his presence, still so close, and I reach out instinctively, wanting to hold on to him, to keep him here with me. But when my fingers brush against the empty space beside me, panic floods my chest.My eyes snap open, my breath catching as I sit up in an instant,

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   TWO DAYS

    THIRD PERSON POV:The sunlight filters through the soft curtains, casting a golden hue across the room. Kookie stirs, her body still curled into Elias, the warmth of his skin blanketing her like safety. For a moment, she lies still, eyes closed, basking in the afterglow of everything they shared the previous night. When her eyes finally flutter open, a smile forms on her lips—wider and more genuine than any she’s worn in weeks.Her heart flutters as her mind replays every moment, every soft touch, every sweet word. The way Elias held her like she was something rare. The way he moved with her—slow, intentional, loving. It was nothing like she had imagined; it was better. So much better. Beside her, Elias stirs too, groaning softly as his arms instinctively tighten around her waist, pulling her back into his chest.“Morning,” he murmurs in a thick voice. Kookie giggles, turning to face him, their

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   RAW

    KOOKIE:When we get back to the house, I lead the way into my room in silence. He closes the door behind him softly, the click echoing louder than it should. The thoughts in my mind from the morning cloud it again, and I am curious, wanting to know how all of him tastes—not just his lips. Wanting to know how it feels for him to be inside me, the warmth, the pleasure it would bring. I want all of it, but I don’t know if he wants it this fast. I am bent on finding out.He opens his mouth to speak, but I don’t let him. I crash into him, my hands gripping his shirt as I kiss him hard—raw, desperate, and completely unfiltered. It’s not soft or careful. It’s the kind of kiss that demands answers, claims ownership, and leaves no room for doubt. The kind of kiss that says, I need you now.Elias stumbles back slightly, caught off guard, but his hands find my waist, holding me stea

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   NOT WHAT YOU THINK

    KOOKIE:The drive is quiet, save for the soft hum of the engine and the occasional exhale from Elias. But I can’t stop looking at him. The way his knuckles clench around the steering wheel, the slight furrow between his brows, the sharp line of his jaw. He’s tense, but still here—by my side.I keep watching him out of the corner of my eye, and I can’t hold back anymore.“Why did you come after me when I left?” I ask quietly, eyes still fixed on him. “Why not when I was still in the house?”He doesn’t answer right away.His jaw tenses further, and his grip on the wheel tightens just a little.“I didn’t want to make things worse,” he says eventually, his voice low. “I felt like... if I stopped you in the house, it would lead to another fight. You were upset. Hurt, and I didn’t want to throw fue

  • THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK   NEAR DEATH

    KOOKIE:Regret fills my heart as I leave the room. I hate the fact I said those words to Elias, but the fact he isn’t trying to come after me makes it worse. I begin to question if he truly loves me or if it is an agenda to get me back to the pack because of my skills.When I get outside, I realize we came here in Elias’s car. I do not want to take it, so I walk back into the house, knocking on my parents’ door. My mother answers the door, walking out dressed in her nightgown.“You are heading out?” she questions, and I nod.“I need to get to the alpha’s house. I forgot to give Levi his shot,” I say to her, then her face loosens up. “Did you think I was going to leave immediately with Blue?” I question, and she shrugs.“Well, I just need your car keys. Elias and I are in a bit of a situation, so I cannot ask for his. I am not talking to h
