All Chapters of The comeback of the wolf: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Caleb's P.O.V. I took a deep breath, attempting to steady my racing thoughts and calm down my wolf. My gaze fell upon a framed photograph of Reese that was standing on a small table next to the sofa, a radiant smile lighting up her face. I traced her features with my finger, a surge of tenderness washing over me as I looked down at the photograph of the smiling young woman.“I won’t let anything happen to you, Gorgeous,” I whispered, my voice filled with determination as if I was promising her directly.“I will protect you. I’ll keep you safe. Even if it means that I will have to keep my distance from you. Even if in the end, I will have to protect you from myself.” I sighed as I looked back outside to the moon, a moon which seemed to be my personal curse as it casted its soft glow through the window. The moon that turned me into a beast. A beast that if I would not contain it, would hurt Reese without a doubt, or even worse. But I would find a way to keep her safe, to shield her fro

Reese’s P.O.V.My eyes fluttered open as the sun’s gentle rays filtered through the curtains of my apartment bedroom, casting a soft glow across the room. I stretched my limbs and sighed contentedly, feeling a delicious warmth envelop my body. The memories of the previous night flooded back, causing a mischievous smile to play on my lips.Though Caleb and I hadn’t taken the relationship to the complete physical realm just yet, our night had been nothing short of intoxicating. The connection we shared transcended mere physical pleasure. It felt as if our souls had even entwined, leaving me feeling more sated than ever before. Shit… Kevin had never been able to make me feel like this… The electric anticipation had ignited a fire within me that seemed to burn brighter with each passing moment. But as I opened my eyes and looked next to me, that fire went out pretty darn fast.I sat up slowly, expecting to find Caleb still asleep beside me, my heart skipped a beat, because the side of the

Caleb’s P.O.VOnce my brothers were finally out of the house, I turned myself to face Reese. Everything had gone so fast ever since she had called me last night, that I hadn’t even gotten the chance yet to speak to her about so many things. One of them being me wanting to protect her. I knew being with her twenty-four-seven from now on was out of the question. Even with me wanting it, and my wolf pretty much demanding it, I also wasn’t crazy here, and I still understood that Reese was a human. For a human to get a new boyfriend and to never leave their side again after knowing each other for only a week was unheard of. Unhealthy even. So yeah… my packing my bags and moving in here probably wasn’t my biggest or brightest idea. So, I forced myself to settle with the next best thing, enforcing her apartment as if the was fucking Fort Knox itself. Hence why I mind-linked my brother Zach this morning the second I had woken up. Shit, my brother was pissed that I had mind linked him, but we

Reese’s P.O.V.I paced back and forth in my living room, a racing heartbeat and a lump forming in my throat, my phone clutched tightly in my hand. I took a deep breath and finally pressed the call button, connecting me to Dana, who had quickly grown into one of my best friends in this small town ever since I had moved over here. As the phone rang, my mind raced with all the events that had unfolded in the past few hours. The burglar, Caleb coming over, the passionate night, his brothers filling my apartment and last but not least… the phone call and the serious conversation that had followed shortly after.“Hello?” Dana’s voice echoed through the line, breaking the silence.“Dana, it’s me, Reese. You won’t believe what just happened!” I exclaimed, my voice filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension.“Oh, spill the beans, girl! What’s got you all worked up on a Saturday afternoon?” Dana replied, her voice dripping with curiosity. I took a deep breath, trying to organize my though

Caleb’s P.O.V.The sun began its descent beyond the horizon, casting a warm golden hue across the lands of the Loup ranch. I sat on the edge of my bed, my old hockey gear from when I was still a teenager scattered haphazardly around me. The tension from the argument with Jack still lingered in the room, weighing heavily on my heart. I ran a hand through my dark hair, contemplating the difficult choices I was forced to make. Not because I wanted to, but because I also had to. I just hoped that one day, my brothers would understand my reasonings. I needed to do this in order to get closure, the last time by getting injured, the choice had been ripped out of my hands. If I would get out of the game, I wanted it to be on my own terms. I would step back when I would want to stop playing, not because my body forced me to stop.Suddenly, my bedroom door creaked open, and in walked Dahlia, my sweet and precious little Dahlia. Her curly hair bounced with every step she seemed to make, and her
