The Mate I Can't Have 0076.
HENRY'S POVThe days bled into one another, an endless cycle of dread and anticipation as the tension escalated between us like a high-stakes game. Niyla remained an oasis of calm amidst the turmoil, but I could sense the turmoil in her heart. Every glance at her brought an unbearable weight because I knew what hung in the balance.I soon realized that Liam’s threats weren’t mere bluster; they simmered just beneath the surface, ready to be unleashed at any moment. All the while, Niyla attempted to mediate, urging me to ‘talk it out’, to ‘find common ground,’ while I felt like a powder keg, ready to detonate at any minute.Determined to track Liam down, I decided to confront him at a late-night party—an event he'd schemed to showcase his new connection with Niyla. I dressed carefully, my resolve hardening with each minute passing. I found them outside, huddled near a flickering fire, their faces illuminated by the flames. Niyla laughed at something Liam said, and I felt an overwhelmin

LIAM'S POVRain began to pour, startling everyone into a frenzied rush for shelter. The party transformed into chaos, laughter morphing into terrified whispers. The darkness above swirled ominously around us like a shroud, amplifying the sense of dread that had taken root in my heart. “Liam!” I yelled over the cacophony, feeling desperation clawing at my insides. “What are you planning? What have you done?”He laughed again, a low, menacing sound that sent chills racing across my skin. “You’ll find out soon enough. And trust me, it’s more than you bargained for.” His eyes glinted with a mixture of chaos and something deeper, something sinister.Niyla grabbed my arm, her grip tightening as the rain soaked us both, but there was a fire in her gaze, an undeniable determination. “Henry, we need to focus. We can’t let him split us apart like this.”“I won’t allow him to have you, Niyla. I can’t lose you,” I warned, my voice fierce despite the storm bearing down on us.“It’s not just about

Evelyn's POVAs I sat in the empty auditorium, the faint echoes of past performances reverberated through the hall. The shadows clung to the corners, whispering secrets I had vowed to uncover. It was here, beneath the flickering lights and the dust-coated stage, that I first realized the cost of truth, and my heart thrummed with anticipation. I had witnessed the manipulation, the deceit, and I was ready to expose every last bit of it.It was hard to believe that just weeks ago, Niyla had been caged by their lies—Ivory and Hilda’s insidious web weaving around her, ensnaring her dreams with promises tinged with malice. They’d manipulated her like a puppet, turning her life into a cruel game for their amusement. The thought sent a rush of anger coursing through my veins. They had convinced her that their father owned half the school, that she should serve them as their maid to fulfill her dream of becoming a pianist. I could almost hear their belittling laughter ringing in my ears every

Evelyn's POVThe next few days were a blur of interviews and frantic conversations. I sought out students who had seen Ivory and Hilda in action, their manipulations, those who had witnessed Niyla’s breakdown and the pressure they had placed upon her. Slowly but surely, I pieced together the tapestry of their deceit—gathering strings of evidence as if I were assembling a weapon for a battle that was about to ensue.There was Jason, who saw them taunting Niyla; Jason, who heard their verbal jabs laced with venom when they believed no one was listening; and even Emily, who recalled the time Niyla was forced to pretend she was a maid at the arrival of Hilda's rich relatives. Each story was a thread in a larger narrative I was weaving, and as the tapestry grew, so too did my resolve.The sound of school bells over the intercom took me out of my thoughts, and I made my way to the cafeteria for lunch, hoping to find Niyla and warn her of what was to come. I had drafted a letter to the facul

Evelyn's POVThat evening, I sat at my desk, going through my notes and the testimonies I had compiled. The clock ticked furiously as evening fell, casting long shadows across the room. The weight of the truth settled heavily on my shoulders, almost foreboding in its significance. Would I be able to dismantle Ivory and Hilda’s destructive reign over Niyla’s life?I glanced outside, and the wind howled through the trees, matching the tempest that raged in my heart. I couldn’t postpone any longer; it was time to share my findings. As I made the trip back to school the following morning, determination coursed through me. I knew that with each step into the administration office, I was not only seeking justice for Niyla but also facing the very embodiment of deceit that threatened the integrity of FCY International College.When I stepped inside, Principal glanced up, and the solemnity in his demeanor set my heart racing anew. “Evelyn,” he acknowledged with a hint of urgency. “Ready to

Henry's POVThe tension that hummed between Liam and me had reached a breaking point. I could feel it in the air as I approached him, heart racing and fists clenched. I’d had enough of his arrogance, enough of his manipulation, enough of Niyla being caught in the crosshairs of our rivalry. “Hey, Henry,” he said, that mocking grin stretching across his face. “You still think you can pull her away from me? You’ll regret that.” “Regret?” I spat, anger surging hard in my chest. “You’re the one who should regret that you thought you could take something that belongs to me.”The world around us buzzed with the hushed whispers of onlookers, excited murmurings echoing off the trees. For some reason, I felt their anticipation pulse in my veins like a sadistic enabler. They wanted to see us fight. They wanted to see drama. Well, they were about to get more than they bargained for. Liam stepped forward, chest puffed, and I felt a primal instinct take hold. Without thinking, I charged at him.

Henry's POVThe fight escalated; claws swiped, teeth bared, as Liam and I became two wolves, embodying aggression and ferocity. The world around us faded—the pack, the school, even the spectators were mere afterthoughts. Everything stilled in the moments between strikes—heart pounding, muscles taut. But then, just as Liam lunged to claw at my side, a voice cut through the chaos like a bolt of lightning.“Stop!” I froze mid-motion, my wolf instincts momentarily overtaken by a familiar presence. It couldn’t be...Catherine, my mother, stood at the edge of the clearing, her expression fierce but her voice laced with urgency. “Both of you! Stop now!”Liam hesitated too, confusion flickering in his eyes. It was bizarre to see her here, standing between us like a beacon against the storm. “Mom?” I thought, furrowing my brow in disbelief as my wolf side rumbled in protest. The tension hung for a moment longer, the two of us poised to clash again, but her presence quelled the primal insti

Henry's POVThe air was heavy as we stood there, a tempest brewing not just between us but beyond the chaos of our past. The truth had barely begun to settle over us like a dark cloud ready to burst. “What does that mean for us, then?” Liam’s voice broke the silence, raw and bare. “What am I supposed to do with this information? If I was meant to have a rightful place, why was I treated like a pariah?” For just a moment, the remnants of rivalry faded beneath the tides of our shared history. There was something undeniably primal in the air, and it was heavy with the weight of revelation. My mother stepped closer, her voice firm but gentle. “The past may remain tangled, and those who threaten your existence will always loom near. But there’s power in knowing who you are, Liam. Together, you two possess more potential than either of you will allow yourself to believe.” “‘Together’?” I scoffed, but the doubt I felt gradually began to twist deeper. “Don’t scoff, Henry,” Liam retorted,

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.

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
