MIA

I'm pacing my room like a caged tiger, phone in hand, about to make the most secretive call of my life. Kiara's number is glowing on the screen, waiting for me to gather the courage. Deep breath, Mia. It's now or never.

"Kiara," I whisper as soon as she picks up, sounding like I'm about to disclose the location of the lost city of Atlantis. "I've got a plan."

There's a beat of silence, then, "Mia? Is that you? Holy guacamole, girl, Why haven’t you gotten back to me since that day? Gabriel's been moping around like a puppy who lost his favorite chew toy."

I can't help but crack a smile. Trust Kiara to lighten the mood with less than ten words. "Yeah, it's me. Look, I don't have much time. I need you to promise me something."

"Cross my heart and hope to dye my hair pink," she quips, and I know she's dead serious. "What's up?"

I take a deep breath, laying out my escape plan like I'm explaining the plot of a soap opera. "I'm teaming up with Diana. We're going to make a run for it duri

    MIADeceit is good when played right. In the grand scheme of things, pretending to be lovey-dovey with Alpha Leo for one day is akin to playing the lead role in a tragicomedy where the punchline is my life. Leo strides into my room, all doom and gloom, ready to lay down his threats, I'm already in character, wearing my most convincingly sweet smile."Good morning, sunshine!" I chirp, as if greeting a beloved rather than the man who's essentially my jailer. "And happy birthday!"He eyes me suspiciously, like he's trying to decipher if I've suddenly lost my mind or if it's just a ruse. "Mia," he begins, his voice laced with a warning, "don't try anything funny today. You know what's at stake."I flutter my eyelashes at him, laying it on thick. "Why, Leo, I don't know what you mean. Today's your big day! Why would I do anything to ruin it?"He narrows his eyes, not buying my act for a second. "Because you're you. And you've got that look in your eyes, like you're planning something."Fe

    CHAPTER 69MIA"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" I ask, my voice laced with hope and a tinge of sadness. I've grown to like Diana, despite our rocky start. She's shown me that people can change, and sometimes, they just need someone to believe in them.Diana shakes her head, a small smile playing on her lips. "Mia, all my life, I've been nothing but a shadow behind Alpha Leo. It's time for me to step into the light and find out who Diana really is, without him defining me."I nod, understanding her need to discover herself on her own terms. It's something I've been longing for, too—freedom to be who I want to be, without fear or restraint."But you know, Diana, you've been so much more than just his mistress. You're strong, smart, and kind. You've been a friend to me when I needed one the most," I say, trying to show her the reflection of the woman I see standing before me.She chuckles, a sound that seems to carry a mix of sadness and hope. "Friendship in the most unlike

Gabriel and I had found a quiet moment, a peaceful break from the chaos that seemed to constantly swirl around us. It was moments like these I cherished, where we could just be Mia and Gabriel, not Alpha and Luna or warriors in a never-ending battle."You know," Gabriel started, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between us, "I've missed this. Just talking. It feels like it's been forever since we've had a moment of peace."I smiled, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Yeah, life's been a bit of a whirlwind, hasn't it?" The understatement of the century, really. Between battles, secrets, and heartaches, 'whirlwind' was putting it mildly.He scooted closer, his arm brushing against mine, sending a familiar shiver down my spine. "I've missed you, Mia.

    UntitledGabriel and I have found a habit of seeing each other in the other room because of Max. I didn't like keeping our relationship a secret but right now, but we just got back together and Alpha Leo is still grieved, that was the only way we could be with each other. He came into my room this night like he has been doing all through out.I lost every sense of reasoning when I gazed at him and trailed his eyes, he was staring at my breast, I wasn't wearing any bra and my nipple lines were visible from my silky dress."Just call my name," he muttered to me, his voice was hoarse and you can see how he longed for me. I was trying to fight every will in me to say no, no to him pinning me to the wall and having my body press to his. "Gabriel," I whispered and that was the tipping point for us, he took my lips into his, kissing me hungrily. He lifted me and placed me on top of the counter, While our lips parted for a split second to breathe, it was just like going underwater and com

    CHAPTER 72ALPHA LEOI paced back and forth in my private chamber, my thoughts a raging storm. The audacity of Mia's escape, taking Diana along, gnawed at me like a persistent wound. Kyle stood at the edge, his posture too relaxed for my liking, watching me with those eyes that always seemed too calm."We need to bring Diana back. And Mia," I declared, the words slicing through the tense air. "They think they can just leave, undermine my authority? It's unacceptable."Kyle shifted, finally breaking his silence. "Leo, maybe it's time to let this go. Focus on the pack. They need stability, not more chaos."Let it go? The suggestion inflamed me, fueling the fire that raged within. "Let it go?" I repeated, my voice rising, a growl threading through the words. "You think I should just forget the betrayal? They made me look weak, Kyle. Weak!"He took a cautious step forward, a mistake. "It's not about weakness, Leo. It's about choosing your battles. This obsession with getting them back—it'

    MIAI can't believe Gabriel and I are finally talking about our mating ceremony. It feels like a dream, one I've been scared to wake up from. But here we are, sitting on the edge of our bed, the moonlight casting a soft glow through the window, making everything feel a bit magical."So, what do you think?" Gabriel breaks the silence, his voice pulling me back from my thoughts. "Big ceremony or something more intimate?"I chew on my bottom lip, considering. Part of me craves the intimacy of a small gathering, just us and our closest friends and family. But another part, the part that's still a little girl at heart, wants the fairy tale. "Can we find a middle ground? Not too big, but not too small. I want it to feel special, but I also want it to be us."Gabriel smiles, his eyes lighting up in a way that makes my heart flutter. "That sounds perfect. Just like you."I roll my eyes, but I can't hide the blush that creeps up my cheeks. "We need to decide on a date," I say, trying to steer

    GabrielI walked very close to her, toe to toe, and she looked straight up into my eyes expectantly. I lifted her bag up to her between our bodies purposely brushing the valley between her tits with my hand. "I rescued your dignity from Kiara." I showed her the bikini top and told her about the conversation that had occurred between him and me, letting her in on the cover story. I patted her ass and told her, "Your secret remains safe with me."She wrapped her arms around me in a hug and mashed her globes against my sternum. My hand was wonderfully trapped in her cleavage. I dropped the bag and kicked it to the side. I wiggled my hand around to cop a feel of one tit while my other hand gripped her firm ass. "My savior", she said into my chest. My Cock started to prod her stomach. She tilted her head back closed her eyes and pursed her lips. I leaned down and kissed her on the mouth.

She sat beside me, her presence a comforting warmth."Mia," I started, not sure how to broach the subject of Caleb and Kiara. It had been gnawing at me, eating away the peace I so desperately sought in our sanctuary.She turned to me, her eyes searching mine. "Gabriel, we need to talk about Caleb and Kiara," she said, her voice steady but gentle.I sighed, a deep, weary sound. "I've told them both, Mia. I've made it clear. They went behind my back, against my wishes."Mia took my hand, her grip firm. "I know, Gabriel. I know you're hurt. But think about it, love. They found something in each other, something rare. Can't we, shouldn't we, be happy for them?"I wanted to resist, to hold onto my anger and betrayal, but the earnestness in Mia's voice, the genuine concern in her eyes, it made the walls I'd built start to crumble."They disobeyed me, Mia.

    MiaWatching Gabriel and our son Max playing in the yard, laughter filling the air, brought a sense of peace and contentment I'd never known before. Max, with his father's eyes and my stubbornness, was a living symbol of our love and all we'd overcome. It was moments like these that made all the struggles worth it."Remember when we thought dealing with rogue wolves was a challenge?" I said, leaning against the doorframe, a smile playing on my lips.Gabriel looked up, a grin spreading across his face as he scooped Max into his arms, making our son giggle with delight. "How could I forget? And let's not start on Alpha Leo and Laleh."I walked over, joining them in the grass, the memories of our past battles weaving through my mind like an epic tale. "It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? From enemies to lovers, from battles to peace."Gabriel set Max down, who immediately began chasing a butterfly, his laughter a melody in the afternoon air. "It's been more than a journey, Mia. It's

    CHAPTER 77GABRIELStanding at the altar, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face if I tried. The sun was shining, the birds were probably doing whatever birds do when they're happy, and I was about to marry Mia. I glanced over to my best man, Caleb, who gave me a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes. Trust Caleb to turn a solemn moment into a scene from a buddy comedy.Then, there she was, Mia, looking like she'd just stepped out of a dream. My heart did a funny little dance, the kind that would have embarrassed me if anyone could see it. The music started, and she began walking down the aisle. I swear, everything else just blurred into the background. It was just Mia and me, in our little bubble.As she got closer, I whispered to myself, "Don't trip, don't trip." Not the most romantic thought, but hey, I'm only a man.Mia finally reached me, and her smile said, "I heard that," without her speaking a word. We turned to face the person officiating our ceremony, and everything was perfect. Right u

    GABRIELI woke up to the feeling of Mia’s soft body pressed against me, her back fitting snugly against my front. My arm was secured around her waist in a tight grip and my face was buried in her soft, luscious hair. A pleasant feeling went through me as she made a sound in her throat and relaxed further into me. This was definitely the best sleep I’ve had in a long time, especially since I’ve been so stressed and busy.My chest did a double skip at the sight of us in the comfort of each other’s arms, looking like a normal, picture perfect couple. But we were both far from perfect. We both had our issues and that was what made us human. That was what made us complement each other perfectly—like fire and ice, Yin and Yang.My heart filled with warmth as I realized that I had fallen for Mia—undoubtedly and unintentionally— and this time much harder than I had ever fallen for anyone.At that exact moment, the thought of Kiara made its way back to my mind. The lines seemed blurred, as I h
