CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

ZOEY

“If you’re here to thank me, then you can turn around and leave, because I didn’t do it for you, I did what I felt was right,” Alpha Graham said, rendering me speechless.

I had indeed come to thank him for, should I say, standing up for me? But he took the words right out of my mouth and now I didn’t know what else to say.

I swallowed, and stubbornly proceeded, “Thank you for doing what’s right.”

He looked up and I could see a faint smile on his face but he tried to hide it, “You really don’t listen, do you?” He rested his hand on his desk and leaned his head on it. “This conversation is over.”

“I just love showing appreciation, and repaying kindness.” I said seriously, ignoring his warnings. I didn’t like feeling indebted to people as it made me feel like I belonged to them. He gave me a place to stay in excavation for helping his mother, we were even in that aspect. But he stood up for me, even when he shouldn’t have.

“Hmm,” he hummed as he tilted his head to

    CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENZOEYI stared at Alpha Graham, and waited for him to take back his words. He was probably testing me and he wanted to see if I would break under pressure and beg him to reconsider his decision, but the way he sat there, with his arms crossed, and an unreadable expression on his face, told me he was completely serious.His personal servant?I clenched my fists beside me, and I struggled to keep my voice calm. “You want me to be your servant?” I asked him, giving him the opportunity to change his mind.“You offered to repay me. This is how you’ll do it.” He leaned back in his chair, completely relaxed, like this conversation was nothing to him. “You’ll attend to all my needs without question. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”It was a problem. A very huge one.I had spent years under Kelvin’s control, so many years being told what to do, how to behave and obey people. I always put other people’s needs before mine, and now, here I was again, on the verge of being

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Kelvin was here?

    CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTZOEYI sat still, observing the luna’s face and if I was being honest, I couldn’t see any improvements but Alpha Graham seemed to be optimistic since he always insisted that I sit with her.As if on cue, a pack guard came into the room, “The Alpha is calling for you,” he informed me and walked out without waiting for my response.I sighed as I stood up. I knew why he was calling for me. He wanted me to begin my next tax of repaying him. I never saw him as a petty man but that was exactly what he was. He never let things slide.As I knocked on his door and waited for his response, my mind strayed and I wondered what he had in mind for me. To count a bag of beans? Or maybe to bath him.I felt my cheeks heat up as I thought about him being naked, and me running my hands over his body, but I quickly pushed the thoughts aside. That was inappropriate and I had no right to think of such.Without waiting for his response, I pushed open the door and as usual, he was behind

    CHAPTER THIRTY NINEZOEYMy heart hammered in my chest and my whole body froze as I heard his voice. Why was Kelvin here? Was he Alpha Graham’s friend?In that moment, confusion and fear filled my heart. How was I going to go out there and serve them when Kelvin was present? I couldn’t do it. I shook my head, I was hyperventilating and my body was trembling. I tried to think of what to do but my head was spinning so much to come up with a rational plan.I contemplated running away or even telling the guards to call Alpha Graham to come to the kitchen, and then I’d tell him that I didn’t want to continue. But I knew him. Once he sees that I don’t want to do it, he’d force me to come out and serve. What should I do? I was stuck and blank.I couldn’t possibly go out there and meet him. Everything that I worked so hard for would crumble to the ground in one instant. Kelvin was still actively searching for me and he wouldn't hesitate to take me back, he’d also tell Alpha Graham that I’m n

    CHAPTER FORTYGRAHAM“You were so worried when Zoey fainted,” I heard Ronald’s voice from beside me as we walked back from the hospital to the living room.I knew that’s what he wanted to say since we walked in silence. Ronald was fond of putting words in my mouth but I wasn’t in the mood for that.“Isn’t it normal to be concerned about others?” I brushed it off and asked him casually, hoping that it’d make him shut up and mind his business.But he stubbornly continued, “Not when ‘the others’ is a vampire who you claim to hate.”His words made me stop and I turned to face him, “So what are you trying to insinuate?” I arched my brow as I waited for his answer, with a frown on my face.He casually shrugged his shoulders like this wasn’t a serious matter, “Nothing,” he said, “I’m just stating the obvious.”“I didn’t know you as someone who likes to involve themselves in other people’s business.” I glared at him, but he didn’t seem fazed.“I’m not pokenosing in other people’s business.

    CHAPTER FORTY ONEZOEY Alpha Graham was the perfect definition of a bipolar narcissist. Just when I thought I’d figured him out, he’d do something completely different and unexpected.A quiet knock sounded on the door, breaking my thoughts. I looked up to see Lily walking in. She had a concerned look on her face and I could tell she was worried about me.“I heard you collapsed.” She said as she settled on the bed beside me. “Are you okay? What caused the breakdown? Did he overwork you? Do you need me to help you?”Her brows which were furrowed in worry made me chuckle and she looked confused, “I’m fine, Lily. You don’t have to worry about me.” Lily was the friend everyone needed in their life.She reached for my hand and gave it a light, reassuring squeeze, “You don’t have to pretend to be fine. We’re friends and I’m here for you. You can talk to me, really.”“No seriously, I’m fine,” I laughed then I kept quiet to listen if there was anyone around, “I actually faked it. I acted like

    CHAPTER FORTY TWO ZOEYI had barely rested. My eyes were heavy and my body was sore. I hadn’t slept through the night because I was paranoid and I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched.It was the next day, and to everyone, I had recovered, and so, I was strong enough to get back to my duties.A guard came to call me that it was time for the daily training which I dreaded so much, and I had no choice but to atttend.The pack members were paired up. I searched for Lily but she wasn’t there so I decided to stand by the side and watched them. “Zoey!” Alpha Graham’s loud voice made me flinch, “Are you going to keep standing there like a goddamn statue or you’ll find a partner and make yourself useful?” The sharpness in his voice caught me off guard as I didn’t expect that he’d speak to me like that since we had moved past the enemity, or so I thought. I took a deep breath and clenched my fists.“I’m sorry,” I lowered my head and rushed to find a partner, only to realize that

    CHAPTER FORTY-THREEZOEYI quickly rushed away from the training grounds, my heart hammering in my chest. Their murmurs followed me, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t ignore their gossips and act like I didn’t hear the words they said about me.I clenched my fists and fastened my pace. My chest felt tight, but I refused to let the lump in my throat turn into tears.I didn’t stop moving until I reached the garden, it was still around the pack’s premises but it was far enough that the sounds of training had faded behind me. It was quiet but not empty, as some pack workers tended to the flowers. I found an empty bench and sat on it, and thankfully, the workers ignored me, focusing on their work.I bent over, rested my hands on my knees, and struggled to catch my breath. “I didn’t hurt her.” I said out loud, over and over again, but it didn’t matter. No one cared, no one even questioned it. Alpha Graham had taken Nicole’s side without hesitation, without even hearing my own side

    CHAPTER FORTY FOURZOEYI stumbled backwards in shock and placed a hand on my chest to calm my nerves.“What’s got you so scared, Chipmunk?” Ronald asked me as he stood up from my bed. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I took a deep breath, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting you.” And that was the truth. I had been so paranoid lately that every little thing scared me. Ronald narrowed his eyes at me and I walked inside the room, and cleared my throat to avoid suspicion. “What are you doing here?” I asked him as casually as I could.“Well, I promised you that I’d introduce you to my mate, so it’s time,” He said with a smile. Ronald treated me well, even in the midst of the hatred and disgust, it made me feel like he was my long lost big brother.“Do you think she’d want to see me?” I asked cautiously because I didn’t want to scare his mate. It wouldn’t be a nice thing to do.“Yeah,” he smiled, “Hannah isn’t like that. She’s a very open minded.” I felt excitement fill me as I thought of

    GRAHAMShe told me to let her go.The words echoed through my mind like a broken record that I couldn’t fix. I stood in the empty space long after she had disappeared, the scent of her still lingering in the air and mocking me with everything I couldn’t have.Let her go?How the hell was I supposed to do that?I walked back to the packhouse in silence, not even noticing the people who passed me or the curious glances that they threw my way. I went straight to my room and locked the door behind me. The walls felt too tight, and the air felt too still. My wolf paced restlessly inside me, growling low and angry, but I couldn’t calm him. I couldn’t even calm myself.I dropped onto the edge of the bed and ran both hands through my hair in frustration and gripped it like it would bring me some kind of restraint or peace. My chest burned. My mind screamed and all I could see were her eyes, Frankie’s glowing and calm eyes as she shattered every piece of me.“It was a mistake.”She said that a

    ZOEYI stormed out of the woods and into my room and I could feel my heart racing, and I clenched my fists so tightly that it felt numb. I didn’t care how calm Frankie looked or acted, all I knew was that I was done being quiet.“You had no right!” I yelled, feeling my anger boil underneath my skin. “You told him to let me go! Why would you do that? Are you okay?”I could feel Frankie standing straight, instead of backing down and explaining things to me. It felt like I was staring straight at her and she was openly challenging me. Her glowing eyes were calm, like always and it infuriated the shit out of me. “He needed to hear it.”“No, he didn’t,” I snapped. “He needed me, he needed us. And what did you do in return? you broke his heart and made me seem like the bad person. Like there’s something wrong with me!”“He was already breaking,” she said quietly. “Don’t put all the blame on me!”I paced around the room, trembling with anger. “I felt it. I felt his pain, Frankie. His anger.

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Shouldn’t have kissed her

    GRAHAMThe fire in the fireplace had burned low, leaving the office in a soft atmosphere. I leaned back in my chair, fingers under my chin, staring at the dying fire. The taste of Zoey still lingered on my lips—sweet, warm, intoxicating. I shouldn’t have kissed her. No. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that I wanted to do it again. A growl tore from my throat, raw and frustrated. My wolf snarled in my chest, restless, torn between two instincts—one that howled for my mate, Frankie, and another that burned for Zoey’s fire, her defiance, the way she looked at me like I was both the storm and the shelter. This is wrong. But it didn’t feel wrong. And that terrified me. I squeezed my eyes shut, dragging a hand down my face. The bond between mates was sacred. Unbreakable. So why did my pulse race for someone else? Why did my blood heat at the memory of Zoey’s fingers tangled in my shirt, pulling me closer like she never wanted to let go? A whisper of presence brush

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Think I’m lying?

    GRAHAMThe Pack House was in its usual state of controlled chaos when we arrived. Warriors lounged in the common area, some sparring, others nursing drinks. A few pups darted between legs, yipping excitedly, while the elders watched from their usual spots near the fireplace, shaking their heads at the younger generation’s antics. And then there was Roland. Leaning against the doorway like he’d been waiting for us (which, knowing him, he had), my Beta raised a brow as Zoey stepped inside behind me. His gaze flicked to the bruise on her temple, the hospital bracelet still stubbornly clinging to her wrist. “Zoey,” he said, voice carefully neutral. “You okay?” Zoey’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, now you care?” Roland blinked. “What?” “Don’t play dumb,” she snapped, jabbing a finger at him. “You snitched.” I crossed my arms, watching the exchange with mild amusement. Roland had always been terrible at lying under pressure. “I didn’t—” “You told him,” Zoey accused, jerking a thumb

  • 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

  • The Mate She Can’t See   A hit and run!

    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

    **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. I found Ron

    **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

    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
