CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR

GRAHAM

The office door slammed open so hard that it made the walls tremble, but I didn’t flinch. I didn’t need to look up to know who it was.

There was only one person who could storm into my office in that manner, whenever he liked. It was Ronald.

His footsteps were loud and I could tell he was furious as he marched straight to my desk. Even without looking up at him, I could feel the anger radiating off him like a storm about to explode.

I stayed where I was, with my pen in hand, and pretended to be engrossed in the document in front of me. Ronald was rarely angry so it made me wonder what got him so upset. Though I already had a hunch.

“What do you want?” I asked, keeping my voice calm, and controlled.

Ronald let out a dry, humorless laugh. “What do I want?” he repeated, his voice filled with disbelief. “Are you seriously asking me that right now?”

I didn’t respond. Of course I was asking. Why did I need to repeat myself?

He pulled a chair back, and the legs s

    CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVEZOEYRonald came back fuming and that was the angriest I had ever seen him. I stood immediately and rushed to him. “What happened?”“Graham is a heartless bastard, that’s what happened,” he snapped, and I instantly realized that things didn’t go as planned.Hannah raised her eyebrow and said mockingly. “Tell us something we don’t know.” She said and I resisted the urge to laugh.Ronald paced back and forth, then he ran a hand through his hair in frustration before he sighed loudly. “I told him about the rumors, and he just sat there like it didn’t matter. He didn’t even blink. He just sat there like it was beneath him to care.” He turned to me, his face still filled with frustration and disappointment. “I don’t know how you deal with him, Zoey.”I didn’t answer because the truth was that even if I acted like I didn’t care about the rumors, it did bother me.But what made me so upset was the fact that he didn’t do anything to stop the rumors or even defend me.

Her warmth pressed against me, and the weight of her body settled in like she belonged there. My grip on the armrests tightened, and my knuckles turned white as I fought the instinct to grab her and to pull her closer.Instead, I forced my voice to stay calm. “Get off.” But do my disappointment, my voice came out raspy and breathless.She slightly tilted her head, and a mischievous smirk slowly made its way to her lips. “What’s wrong, Alpha?” she mused, and her tone was filled with amusement. “Are you scared?”Scared? No. I was far from scared, but I was so close to losing control.I clenched my jaw, and tried to act unaffected, but it was pointless. Zoey was toying with me, and she knew exactly what she was doing. Everything about her, the way she moved, the confidence in her eyes, and the way she slightly lifted her chin told me she had the upper hand, and I hate

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Good boy!

    CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVENGRAHAMZoey’s words echoed in my head long after she walked out of my office. “If you want a kiss, stop the rumors.”I should have been angry and annoyed, unbothered even. But instead, I was sitting there, still gripping the armrests, and staring at the door like she’d walk back in. I felt like a damn fool.She had completely thrown me off my game. No one ever had that kind of power over me. I sighed deeply, and forced myself to snap out of it. Enough of this.I was not some weak-willed man who let a woman dictate his actions. But yet, as I pushed up to my feet and walked out of my office, I already knew what I was about to do.I wasn’t doing it for her.And I definitely wasn’t doing it for a kiss that she promised to give me wherever and however I wanted. Definitely not.I was doing it because I was Alpha, and letting my own pack spread disrespectful rumors about someone under my rule, whether I liked her or not, was a sign of weakness and I was not weak.Not no

The room was quiet, except for the sound of the clock ticking, but my mind was anything but still.I was thinking about her.She had promised me a kiss, wherever and however I wanted. And now that I had done my part, it was time for her to fulfill it.A slow smirk formed on my lips. It wasn’t like I wanted her kiss or anything. I just didn’t like people owing me. I loved it when people kept to their promise.I wondered how she’d try to get out of it. Would she play coy? Would she challenge me again? Or would she pretend like she didn’t remember? I almost hoped she would, because I had no intention of letting her forget.I could still hear her voice in my head and how she called me a good boy.My grip tightened on the armrest as I fought for control.

She was talking about something, probably about how different life was when she lived as a human, but my mind drifted elsewhere.“…And that’s the thing about human jobs,” Hannah was saying, sounding amused. “If you hate it, you can just quit.”Lily made a funny face. “That’s ridiculous. If you don’t like something, just fight for something better.”“That’s not how it works for humans,” Hannah chuckled. “They have very strict rules that everyone must follow.”I rolled my eyes and chuckled quietly. “Rules are overrated.”Hannah smiled but she didn’t argue with me.

    CHAPTER EIGTHYZOEYThe moment I collided with Charlie in the supermarket, my blood ran cold. Her smile was all teeth—sharp, practiced, and utterly fake. “Zoey,” she cooed, like we were long-lost sisters instead of bitter enemies. “What a surprise.” I forced my fingers to unclench from the bag of chips I was holding. “Charlie.” She tilted her head, eyes flicking over me with that familiar, calculating gleam. “You look… different.” A pause. “Alive. I honestly thought Silvercrest would’ve killed you by now.” I matched her smile, just as hollow. “Disappointed?” She laughed, light and airy, like we were sharing a joke. “Oh, Zoey. Always so dramatic.” Then, without missing a beat, she looped her arm through mine like we were best friends. “Come on. Let’s catch up. There’s a café next door.” I wanted to rip my arm away. I wanted to scream. But Hannah and Lily were already watching us with wide eyes, and the last thing I needed was a scene. So I let her drag me out of the store

    **GRAHAM** The pack council chamber smelled like old leather and older wolves. The elders sat around the massive oak table, their faces carved from generations of bad decisions and worse tempers. And right in the middle of it all, like a peacock in a den of wolves, stood Kelvin Walker—Alpha of Moonstone, cheater of mates, and current pain in my ass. He’d stormed in unannounced, demanded an audience after accusing me of stealing his mate, and now here we were. "Alpha Graham," Kelvin began, his voice dripping with false diplomacy, "I come before your council to address a grave injustice." I leaned back in my chair, arms crossed. "Get to the point, Kelvin. Some of us have actual work to do." His eye twitched. "You stole my mate." The room went dead silent. Then Elder Fergus, who was roughly as old as dirt and twice as dusty, coughed into his fist. "That’s a serious accusation, Alpha Kelvin. Best tread carefully." Kelvin ignored him, jabbing a finger in my direction. "Zoey

    **GRAHAM**He nodded sagely. "Yep. Left a while ago." My grip on the pen tightened. "And where, exactly, did they go?" Rowand shrugged. "Human world, apparently. Something about Hannah’s friend having a baby." The pen snapped in my hand. Ink splattered across the desk. Rowand blinked. "Uh. You good?" I stood up so fast my chair nearly toppled over. "They what?" Rowand leaned back, holding his hands up. "Hey, don’t shoot the messenger! I just thought you’d want to know—" "Who let them leave?" My voice was dangerously low. Rowand swallowed. "Uh. Ronald?" I stormed out of the office, Rowand scrambling after me. "Graham, wait—" I didn’t wait. The packhouse was bustling as usual—warriors chatting, kids running around, the usual chaos. But right now, all I could focus on was the fact that my mate—well, technically my mate’s human form, who I was still trying to figure out how to handle—had waltzed into the human world without so much as a by your leave.

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Stuck with me

    GRAHAMThe scent of pine and wildflowers still clung to the air inside my Jeep, even after she’d vanished into the trees. Frankie. My mate. My wolf had been restless for weeks, aching for even a glimpse of her, and today—today she’d been *close.* Not close enough to touch, not close enough to speak to, but close enough that my lungs burned with the memory of her. I exhaled, leaning back against the seat, my fingers tapping against the leather seat. The pack warriors were spread out nearby, waiting for my signal to move. But for now, I just wanted to savor this—the quiet, the lingering trace of her, the way my pulse had finally slowed for the first time in months. Then— Knock. Knock. Knock. I turned my head, and my breath caught. Zoey. Her hair was piled messily on top of her head, loose strands framing her face. A hospital bracelet dangled from her wrist, and there was a faint bruise blooming along her temple. She looked exhausted. She looked alive.I rolled down the window

    ZOEYI stepped out of the café, the door swinging shut behind me with a satisfying click. The air outside was crisp, fresh—unlike the suffocating, latte-scented tension I’d just left behind. Charlie’s words still prickled under my skin, but for once, I didn’t care. I’d won that round. Hannah and Lily were waiting for me across the street, their faces etched with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness. Why were they nervous? Hannah waved enthusiastically, nearly smacking a passerby in the face. Classic. Time to go back to the pack, I thought, grinning. Back to Graham—BAM. Something hit me. Hard. One second, I was mid-step, feeling victorious. The next, the world spun, tilted, and then— Black.--- Beep. Beep. Beep.My eyelids felt like they’d been glued shut. I groaned, trying to lift my arm, but something tugged at my hand. What the—? I forced my eyes open, blinking against the blinding white light. Sterile walls. A weird plastic tube sticking out of my arm. A machine b
