I swallow hard, still refusing to look at him. Stay focused Stacy. He is just playing with your mind… Jason leans in a little closer, his breath brushing my ear. “I’m a free man you know. I divorced her, just like I said I would. What more do you need to see that I’m serious?” The words hit h
JASON. “What happened?” Stacy asks quietly, sensing the shift in my mood after ending my call with my head warrior. I pause, glancing at her. She’s always been able to read me better than anyone else, and right now, I can tell she’s concerned. But I can’t involve her in this—at least not yet.
DANIEL. Days prior to the fight… As soon as Stacy hung up after her unexpected call since leaving the pack, my mind spiraled out of control. She’d called for advice—about co-parenting with Jason, as if I wouldn’t pick up on the forced calm in her voice. The way she spoke about him, so casually,
The sight of prisoners being dragged across the border hits me like a punch to the gut. What is Jason up to? All packs in our region had agreed—no more taking in prisoners. Yet here they are, beaten and broken. This isn’t just about Stacy anymore; something darker is brewing here. But I shake o
STACY. Meanwhile at the venue…. I try to stay focused on the event setup, but my thoughts keep drifting off to nothing when suddenly Jason returns just as abrupt as he left earlier. The unease I’ve been feeling all morning sharpens. He walks into the venue like everything’s fine, but somethin
I nod, giving him a soft, albeit wary, smile in return. “I hope so.”.... After we finish our lunch, Jason insists on driving me back even though it's a walkable distance back to the venue. But instead of heading toward the venue, he takes a different route. I frown in confusion. “Where are we g
NICOLE. "Ma'am, where are we headed? We've been driving around for over an hour and if we ain't careful, we might run out of gas in the middle of nowhere." My driver's soft voice pulls me from my thoughts. I glance out the window and realize we've long left the pack's territory. I definitely don't
This will work. It has to work. By the time I reach his mansion, it’s late, and only a few guards are watching the house. It is dark and perfect to sneak inside using the secret passages. I make my way to Jason's bedroom. There he is, sleeping peacefully. I swifty strip off all my clothes and slide
She ends the call and turns to me, practically glowing with excitement. "Great news. That was an old friend of mine who owns a bridal boutique. I asked for a favor earlier, and she’s sending over a selection of dresses, ones you’ll actually like." I let out a breath of relief, shaking my head. "Th
ANNAH. (An hour later) I sit cross-legged on the couch, flipping through a bridal magazine Stacy came home with while she scribbles notes in a planner. The coffee table between us is littered with fabric swatches, floral arrangements, and sample wedding invitations. The scent of fresh roses fr
"You’re a damn tease," I snap. Daniel only smirks before lowering his mouth to my breast, his tongue flicking over my nipple before sucking it between his lips. "Mmm," I murmur, arching my back to press my breast further into his mouth. My body is on fire, every nerve ending alive under his touc
HANNAH "You want proof that you are the only woman I love? Fine. I'll show you proof," Daniel says while locking the bedroom door behind him. I frown slightly as my pulse quickens. "What do you think you are doing?” He doesn't respond to my question but walks toward me with the grace of a leop
She nods faintly, leaning against me as we walk. But just as we reach the steps, Roxanne stumbles. I react instantly, catching her before she can fall. Her hands grip my shoulders for support, and as I pull her upright, our faces end up dangerously too close even for my own comfort. Her breath bru
Roxanne doesn’t react immediately. She just studies me, her eyes flickering with something I can’t quite place. I don’t offer more because that’s the truth. Hannah isn’t perfect. But with her, I don’t feel the weight of politics, alliances, or expectations pressing down on me. She makes me feel al
DANIEL. (Meanwhile on the side of the pack) The quiet hum of the air conditioning fills Roxanne’s hotel suite, but it does nothing to cool the unease settling in my chest while I sit on the couch with my fingers tapping absent minded against my knee as I stare at the untouched glass of whiskey on
I roll my eyes, my patience thinning. "I’m not asking for permission. I just need to go somewhere." More awkward silence. Just as I’m about to snap, one of the younger drivers steps forward. "I can drive you anywhere you need to go, Luna." I study him for a moment. He looks nervous but determi
HANNAH "Are you sure Hannah won't mind?" Roxanne asks innocently, her eyes glancing in my direction. 'Yes, I mind bitch!!!' Mu wolf screams angrily in my head, I fold my arms tightly across my chest, watching as Daniel steps closer to her. Every part of me is screaming not to let them leave toge
