The Mate I Can't Have 0062.
Niylah's POVI couldn't ignore the feeling in my stomach that something felt wrong. All day, I had been catching Hilda and Ivory looking at me with these weird looks. I ignored it, thinking maybe they were just being their usual cold selves. Still, something was nagging me in the back of my head that this was quite different. It was almost like. They had planned something.I glanced over at them as I left the class. They were talking in low tones, huddled together like they had some secret nobody knew. When Ivory's eyes met mine, she looked away quickly; her face settled into an innocent expression quickly, too practiced. My heart thudded a bit faster. Whatever they were up to, I had to be ready.Later that afternoon, on my way to my locker, I found a small note tucked inside, folded over. I frowned, picking it up. The handwriting was neat, almost too neat. It said: *Meet me in the old library wing after school. Alone.*My heart probably skipped a beat. It was from Liam, but something

Niylah’s POVHenry and I had just reached the main building when a loud, angry voice called out behind us.“Niylah! I turned to see Liam, his face dark with anger and hurt, his eyes locked on me.I froze, my pulse stopping, as I watched his hatred. He also ignored Henry and did not inquire. He just marched over, grabbing my wrist tightly and pulling me away from Henry, who watched with wide eyes.“What’s going on? I stammered, trying to keep my balance as he dragged me down the hall.He just didn’t reply, and his hand on my wrist wouldn't let go, as he dragged me out there, out of sight. As soon as we were left by ourselves, he relaxed, and I nearly toppled back. I aimed at supporting my injury on my hand touch where his fingers tightened too forcibly; thus, I wretched and stumbled backward, holding on to a step on the side in my hand’s way.“Liam, what is going on? I asked, my voice trembling.He shoved his phone in my face, his look a mix of hurt and rage. “Explain this,” he demande

Niylah’s POVI just shut my locker, and suddenly, a cold jolt ran over me. Out of nowhere, I was drenched with a splash of icy water, the shock stealing the breath from my lungs as I gasped. I looked around, dazed, and saw Hilda and Ivory standing nearby, smirking in satisfaction.“Guess you needed a little refreshment, didn’t you? Hilda taunted, her eyes glinting with malice.“Why are you doing this? I asked, my voice breaking slightly from both the chill of the water and the sting of their words.Ivory’s laugh was sharp and mocking. “Oh, please, Niylah. Don’t act so innocent. It's time you knew your place, "I can hear them say as, before I know it, they push me roughly into a small storage room and slam the door shut behind me.I dashed to the door and hammered it as hard as I could. “Let me out! I shouted, my voice echoing against the walls. However, I could almost hear the laughter as they turned away, disobeying my cries.I did a faceplant next to the door and shivered as the col

Niylah’s POVI stared at the place where Liam had just stood, shock numbing my body. My heart pounded painfully in my chest, a hollow echo of the love I’d felt moments before. The hallway felt endless, the walls closing in as the reality of the situation hit me. He didn’t trust me anymore. I could feel it like a cold draft slithering down my spine.What had I done to deserve this? I replayed the moment over and over in my mind, every word he’d said piercing through me like arrows. I wanted to scream, to cry, to demand justice against Hilda and whoever else had plotted this cruel game against me. But instead, I stood there, paralyzed by the weight of his words, feeling more alone than I ever had.With a shaky breath, I began to walk back to the main building, each step a reminder of what I had lost. The laughter of students echoed through the halls, a stark contrast to the storm that raged inside me. How could life go on as if everything was normal when my world was crumbling? I neede

Niylah’s POVThe weight of uncertainty lingered, but with every step I took beside Liam, I felt the flicker of hope rekindling in my heart. The tension that had defined our relationship was loosening, and as the truth hung between us, there was a palpable shift in the air. The vibrant courtyard around us suddenly felt like the calm before a storm—an illusion of peace before the tempest that was Hilda Fischer.After we sat down on a bench, the sunlight cast an ethereal glow on Liam’s face, softening the lines of distress that had etched themselves there only moments before. I couldn’t let this moment slip away, not when the truth about Hilda was still looming, an imminent threat we needed to expose.“Liam,” I said, gathering courage. “Before we go any further, I need to tell you what Hilda has planned. It’s much worse than what you think.”His brow furrowed, and I could see the flickering doubts still resting in the back of his mind. “What do you mean?”I took a deep breath, the words

Hilda’s POVThe bustling hallways of Crestwood High resonated with echoes of laughter and chatter, but all I could hear was the sound of my own heart pounding against my ribs. I stood near my locker, pretending to organize my books, but inside I was a simmering cauldron of anger and frustration. Hours ago, my carefully crafted empire had crumbled right before my eyes, laid bare by none other than Niylah and her insufferable ally, Henry.“Did you see the way they all looked at us?” Ivory hissed beside me, her eyes wide with disbelief. “I can’t believe they actually rallied against us! How did this happen?”I slammed my locker shut, hard enough to make an echo reverberate through the hallway. “It’s obvious, isn’t it? That little traitor Henry must have been the one who spilled everything.” My voice dripped with venom. “He always has had a soft spot for Niylah. I should’ve known he couldn’t be trusted.”“It’s infuriating!” Ivory clenched her fists, the frustration reflected in her dark e

A soft glow illuminated her from above, casting her in a shimmering light, and she could feel the warmth coursing through her, reassuring her that this moment was hers.Breathless, Niylah smiled as she scanned the crowd, her eyes landing on her parents, their faces glowing with pride, and Nina, her little sister and her lifelong confidant, sitting in the front row, grinning widely.

Henry’s POVThe moon hung high above the clearing, a majestic witness to life unfolding beneath its hushed glow. Henry stood at the edge of the gathering, an outsider looking in, gnawing on regrets that clawed at his insides. Guilt twisted in his chest as he witnessed the celebration of unity after the chaos that had once reigned over their lives. His gaze drifted to Niylah, resplendent and fierce, commanding the attention of the pack with her newfound Alpha presence. She had shed her insecurities like a snake shedding skin, and the magnificence of who she was now practically radiated. Memories of their past flashed through his mind, filling him with remorse.He had been such a fool—disregarding her, underestimating her strength, and acting out of selfishness. The recollection of that day haunted him, the burning shame of how he had rejected her publicly, how he had chosen to embrace Ivory instead of nurturing what he could have cherished with Niylah. The memories of their time toge

Liam’s POVThe soft glow of the moon bathed the forest in ethereal light as Liam walked through the clearing. Each step felt lighter than the last, buoyed by an overwhelming sense of gratitude. He paused, inhaling the cool night air, feeling its crispness fill his lungs and awaken the very essence of him. The moon goddess had blessed him with a gift he had never anticipated—a mate, Niylah. And with that blessing, he had discovered not just love but a profound truth about himself.As the future Alpha, he felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders to embody strength and resilience. Yet, despite his natural gifts, there had always been an undercurrent of confusion guiding his path. He had lived under the constant fear of failing those he cared about, the fear of not being the leader they deserved. But with Niylah, everything changed.He thought back to that fateful night when their souls intertwined beneath the moonlit sky. It had been such a vulnerable moment when she had unlea

Niylah stood beneath the pale glow of the moonlight, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and exhilaration. The night seemed alive with energy, vibrating in tune with the beating of her own heart. She had always been the Omega—the weakest, the underestimated, the one who bore the brunt of others' expectations and their scorn. Every day had been a battle against the tides of her reality, a struggle to carve a place for herself in a world that thrived on hierarchy and dominance. But tonight, everything was different.Memories flooded her mind as she took a deep breath. She could still remember the whispers that followed her, the laughter laced with cruelty echoing in the corners of her mind. “Niylah the weak, Niylah the expendable,” they'd call her. The other wolves in her pack had found their strength in their Alpha lineage, their fierce dominion solidified by blood and tradition. And then there was her—nobody. Just Niylah. The Omega.Her hands clenched into fists as she recalled th

Liam's POVThe confrontation had spiraled into a tumultuous battle of emotions that left me reeling. As Sophia’s revelation twisted around us, I could scarcely grasp the gravity of what she had confessed. The air crackled with uncertainty, but behind it all was a thread of betrayal that hung heavily in the silence. It ricocheted through each moment, wrapping the three of us in a storm.“She disguised herself as Evelyn,” I thought, the notion too surreal to digest. “Why would she go to such lengths?”Every detail felt like an incomplete piece of a broken puzzle I strained to assemble. This woven narrative hung precariously, every new thread threatening to unravel the ties that bound us together.“You played Evelyn,” I finally managed to voice, disbelief still clinging to my words. It felt surreal, as though I were watching a play unfold rather than witnessing the reality standing before me. “Why would you put yourself in that position? Why hide in plain sight?”“I did it for you!” Soph

Niylah's POVThe cool air was fraught with tension as Sophia revealed her truth, the revelation seeping into my consciousness like a slow poison. I tried to piece together the fragments of my emotions as I stood there, stunned.Sophia had been my confidant, a steadfast ally who had helped me navigate my darkest days. I had relied on her, unknowingly, while she had worn a mask so deceiving it felt as if the ground beneath me had shifted. It left me reeling, the foundation I thought our friendship was built upon cracking beneath the weight of her betrayal.“Evelyn,” I whispered, the name falling from my lips like a ghostly echo. “Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, remorse reflected in her gaze. I had justified my own insecurities through our bond; I had viewed our relationship as a sisterhood, one founded on support. To learn that Sophia had disguised herself as someone else—someone dangerously close to me—felt like a betrayal that ran deeper than mere deception; it threatened the v

Sophia’s POVThe moonlit clearing shimmered, casting elongated shadows that danced across the ground like phantoms from my past. My heart raced as I prepared to share my truth with Niylah and Liam. I could sense the tension that lingered in the air, the unspoken questions and the hazy remnants of doubt. It was time to shed my own skin, to remove the last pieces of the façade I had built to protect those I cared about most.We had all been through a crucible of conflict that had tested our bonds, but now we stood on the brink of revelation. As I gathered my thoughts, my gaze flickered to Niylah, her fierce determination a beacon of strength. I remembered all too vividly the moments when she had needed me most, how I had made it my mission to be her shield against the dark forces that threatened her.Would she understand how deep this deception ran? Would she see that my intentions had been guided by loyalty, even if my methods were misguided?"There's something you both need to know,"
The Mate I Can't Have 0107.
Liam's POVThe night air felt heavy, charged with emotions still pulsating from the earlier confrontation. Sophia’s voice drifted through my consciousness like a haunting melody, testing the strings of loyalty and trust. She stood before Niylah and me, a woman who’d carried the weight of being our beta and yet had slipped in her duty to protect the very foundation she held dear.“But you think you can just... pull the wool over our eyes and pretend it’s for our own good?” The words were out before I had fully processed them. I felt a mix of anger and disbelief at her veiled intentions, but there was an underlying concern—what else lay hidden behind those secrets?“I thought I was doing what was best!” She cried, small and earnest, the vulnerability in her reflection stirring something inside me. “I know I’ve made mistakes; I laid a path of betrayal. But I wanted to shield you two from the turmoil happening outside our borders.”In that moment, I felt the weight of my initial fury shi

Niylah's POVThe wind howled through the trees, carrying the echoes of the fight we had just witnessed. Nothing felt right. As the moon painted the clearing in ethereal light, I could hardly believe the chaos that had descended upon us. Sophia's words swirled in my mind, but the anger within me felt justified. The betrayal was fresh; it still stung like an open wound.Why had she kept us in the dark? It was unfathomable. Trust was the foundation of our pack, and now those foundations seemed to be cracked and crumbling.“Betrayal,” I echoed Sophia’s words. “That’s what it feels like. You were meant to stand by us, to protect us. Instead, you chose to act secretly.”“Could you not see that it was for our safety?” She looked at me imploringly, and I could see the tremor in her hands as she spoke. Maybe I was too harsh; Sophia was our beta, and she wore that responsibility heavily. But that didn’t excuse her silence.“We’re all carrying our own burdens, Sophia,” Liam’s voice was steady, c
