Chapter: Chapter 100Chapter 100Aiden’s POVI froze with my fingers still buried inside myself and stared into the mirror at Ethan’s face right behind me. His big hand wrapped around my wrist and kept me from pulling away. What the hell was he doing here? My heart hammered so hard I thought I might pass out.“Easy,” he muttered, voice low and rough like he was trying to sound calm. “You’re making a mess of it.”I tried to yank my hand back but he held firm, pressing my own fingers a little deeper. The stretch burned from everything that had happened earlier, and now his body heat pressed against my back made it ten times worse. “Ethan, what are you doing here?!! Get the fuck off me and explain,” I hissed, face flaming hot.He didn’t let go. Instead he reached around with his other hand, grabbed some toilet paper, and started wiping me like it was the most normal thing in the world. His fingers brushed mine every time he cleaned, and the slick sounds filled the bathroom. I wanted to die.“Stop squirmin

Chapter: Chapter 99Chapter 99 Aiden’s POV I kept running until my lungs burned but I made my decision, I could not skip the session. My money situation was shit right now. If I lost this tutoring gig I would be completely screwed.So even though my ass felt like it was on fire and every step reminded me of what that bastard just did, I turned around, found my bag where it got kicked, and headed to Eric’s place anyway. Sweat poured down my skin, mingling with the sticky remnants I could feel shifting uncomfortably with each desperate step forward. Losing this opportunity wasn’t an option; it meant the difference between scraping by and total collapse, forcing me to swallow my pride and push through the degrading aftermath of the encounter I had just escaped.Sweat stuck my shirt to my back. I could feel the mess between my cheeks with every move. Disgusting. Humiliating. But I had no choice. I would clean up quickly once I got there. That was the plan.The fabric clung uncomfortably to my damp skin,

Chapter: Chapter 98Chapter 98Aiden’s POVI stepped out of the dorm building with my bag slung over one shoulder. The tutoring session with Eric was in twenty minutes. I needed to get my head straight or I would just waste the kid’s time. My legs felt heavy but I kept walking across the path that cut behind the main library.Then all of a sudden, a van door slid open fast. Hands grabbed me from the side before I could even turn my head. One arm locked around my waist, another clamped over my mouth. I tried to yell but it came out muffled. My bag hit the ground. Someone kicked it under the van.“Easy there, pretty boy,” a name only one person called me after they forcefully took me, a name I knew too well growled in my ear. “Miss me?”My stomach dropped. It was him. The guy from the bar. Same rough grip, same low laugh that made my skin crawl. He shoved me into the back of the van and the door slammed shut. Everything went dark for a second until he clicked on a dim light.“How you been without me, Ai

Chapter: Chapter 97Chapter 97 Aiden’s POVI woke up slowly, body heavy like it always got after rough nights. The dorm room felt familiar under the covers and I realized I had clean clothes on, everything washed and neat like nothing bad had touched it. For a second I let myself hope Jovian had flipped back to the thoughtful guy he used to be, the one who showed and actually listened. It was a stupid hope but I held onto it anyway because facing the rest felt worse.I pushed up on my elbows and the bathroom door clicked open. Chris stepped out, hair damp, towel over his shoulder. My chest squeezed with disappointment before I could stop it. I tried to hide it fast but Chris caught it right away. His shoulders tightened and the decent mood he had walked out with soured on the spot. He nodded at the desk without smiling.“Hot tea,” he said, voice flat. “Figured you might need it.”I sat up all the way and reached for the mug, wrapping my hands around it. The heat bit at my palms but I took small sips an

Chapter: Chapter 96Chapter 96Aiden’s POVI blinked hard, thinking the lack of sleep and all the stress had finally broken my brain, but no, Jovian stood right there just inside the door with that tight smile stuck on his face. My stomach dropped straight to the floor and my heart slammed against my ribs so loud I worried it might wake Chris. I glanced over at him real quick. He was still slumped in the chair, blanket over his shoulders, breathing deep and even like the world had not just tilted sideways. Jovian took one slow step closer, his eyes locked on me the whole time without blinking. I slid back on the bed a little, my legs still hanging off the edge, but he moved faster than I expected and grabbed my wrist before I could pull away. His grip hurt, fingers digging in hard enough that I knew there would be marks later. “Do not make a sound,” he whispered, voice low and steady like we were just chatting about the weather. “You wake him up and things get worse for everybody.”I nodded fast beca

Chapter: Chapter 95Chapter 95 Aiden’s POVI woke up slowly, feeling so sleepy that my eyes were hard to open at first. The infirmary room felt quiet. A little too quiet. I turned my head and there was Chris, slumped in the chair right beside the bed. His eyes were closed, mouth slightly open, and his breathing came out even. He looked wiped out.For a moment, I just stared at him. His hair was messy, and there were dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he had stayed there for hours without moving. Seeing him like that made my chest feel strangely warm. He looked exhausted, but he had never left my side.I stayed still for a second, just watching him. After everything last night, he finally crashed. I did not want to mess that up. Moving like I was handling glass, I slid my legs over the edge of the bed. My feet hit the floor without a sound. I grabbed the blanket that had been on me and eased it over his shoulders. It settled there softly. He needed this.I sat on the edge of the bed for a minute

Chapter: Chapter 135Alex The group kept arguing about what to do next. Damien wanted to head straight to the station with the phone and logs. Jax kept saying they needed to loop in his contacts first so nothing got twisted. Mark paced the living room, rubbing his face, muttering how none of it would bring his brother back anyway.I sat on the couch, ribs screaming every time I breathed too deep, head still fuzzy from earlier. “Guys, can we just pick one thing and stick to it? ”Mom walked in from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel. “Alex, you look awful.”“It’s just from the stress mama you can…”Before anyone could answer, the doorbell rang. Mom sighed and went to open it. “Probably that gas delivery. I was short this week and figured why wait.”We all paused. I glanced at Jax. He shrugged. Damien crossed his arms tighter.Mom came back a minute later. “They left the canister by the back. I’ll hook it up quick. Dinner won’t cook itself.”Mark snorted. “Gas? Really? Right now?”“Life doesn’t stop

Chapter: Chapter 134Nancy “Yeah.” I said my eyes lighting up. Sara nodded fast. “Okay come here. ”I looked into her eyes and saw the same deep want that I felt burning inside my own chest. We stood very close together in the quiet darkness of her room, and our hands began to move slowly over each other. I pulled her shirt up carefully, and she lifted her arms so I could take it off completely. Her skin felt warm and smooth under my fingers as I touched her sides gently. She did the same thing to me, and soon my shirt came off as well. We stood there in just our pants for a moment, looking at each other with nervous excitement, and then we leaned in to kiss again. This time the kiss felt much deeper than before, with our mouths opening naturally and our tongues touching in a way that sent warmth all through my body.My heart was beating fast and loud in my chest. Her hands moved to my back, pulling me even closer against her. I could feel her chest pressing softly against mine, and that closeness ma

Chapter: Chapter 133NancyI finished staring at the ceiling and sat up on the bed. My phone felt heavy in my hand like it knew what I was about to do. I typed out a message then deleted it. Then another one. Then a third. The words kept coming out wrong every time. Too much. Too little.Finally I just went with the truth that had been sitting in my chest since I left Sara’s house earlier.I heard everything at your house tonight. Can we talk? I’m not mad. Just scared too.My thumb hit send before I could chicken out. I tossed the phone on the blanket and rubbed my face hard. The seconds dragged until it buzzed. Sara replied right away.Oh god Nancy. I’ve been dying here. You really heard?Yeah. All of it.I waited for her dots to stop bouncing. They did not.I was so scared to tell you. I thought if I said it out loud you would pull away and that would be it. Our friendship gone. I tried dating those guys to make the feelings stop but they never did. It was always you.My heart pounded so loud I could he

Chapter: Chapter 132Nancy I pushed the front door open and stepped inside. The house was quiet except for the low hum of the fridge in the kitchen. It was already late evening sliding into night and my head would not stop spinning. Everything I overheard from Sara and her mom kept replaying. Sara saying she loved me. Her mom knowing for months. The part about me being the one all along. My chest felt tight like someone was sitting on it. I dropped my bag by the stairs and rubbed my face hard with both hands.I did not know what I felt. Angry. Scared. Maybe something else I did not want to name yet. Sara lied to me for so long and now it turned out she did it because she was fighting herself. I walked toward the living room because I needed water or something normal to do with my hands. The lights were off but I heard soft sounds. I turned the corner and froze.Alex and Mark. Kissing. Like really kissing. Alex had his hand on Mark’s neck and Mark was pulling him closer. My mouth fell open.“What the hell

Chapter: Chapter 131NancySara stopped in her tracks on the sidewalk. She looked lost.“Why not?” Sara asked. Her voice sounded shaky and small. “I need to talk to her. I have to explain everything. She does not understand yet.”Her mom looked at her for a long moment before answering. She did not sound angry. If anything, she sounded tired.“She needs space. She will come around when she is ready. It is not like I want you guys together anyway.”Sara stared at her in disbelief. She looked as though she had heard the wrong words.“What do you mean?” she asked quietly. “You do not want us together?”“No.”“But… why?”“Because I do not.”Sara rubbed both hands together nervously. She looked toward the house for a second before looking back at her mom.“I am not asking you to approve of us. I just need to explain things to Nancy. She deserves to know why I lied.”“She deserves peace today.”“She deserves the truth.”“She will hear it when she is ready.”“She may never want to see me again if I leave now.”H

Chapter: Chapter 130Nancy Sara desperately tried to explain. She stood there with the towel still wrapped around her hair. Her hands shook as she reached out but stopped halfway. Tears already filled her eyes and her face looked pale.“Nancy, please. Just listen to me for a minute. Yeah, the crush on Alex was real. It was there for months. I wrote about it all the time because I thought he was cute and funny and confident. I came over to your house hoping he’d notice me. I made excuses to stay longer just to catch a glimpse of him in the hallway or when he picked you up after practice. I even asked you questions about him on purpose.”I sat on the edge of the bed. The diary felt heavy in my lap. My chest hurt like someone punched it hard. I could barely look at her without feeling sick.“But it changed,” Sara said. Her voice cracked right in the middle. She wiped her cheek with the back of her hand. “Hanging out with you more, it was not just about him anymore. I swear it. Things shifted slowly and I di

Chapter: Chapter 51Rowan I burst through the main gates with Areum limp in my arms, his head lolling against my shoulder like dead weight, skin clammy and way too pale, every shallow breath he took hitting me like a punch because fuck, he looked half-gone already, that void-pain thing eating him from the inside even while he was out cold. The compound was buzzing, pack members clustered everywhere some on the steps, some spilling out from the mess hall, all staring, whispers flying fast and ugly the second they saw us. "Rowan actually did it, raided the bastards?" "Heard the Luna took the curse hit, idiot hero move." "Who's the girl? And that smug fucker trailing her like he owns the place?" I didn't stop, just barked over my shoulder at the nearest betas, "Clear the infirmary room now! Get the doc here, he's crashing hard!" One of them jumped, scrambling, "On it, alpha!" but the murmurs kept coming, louder, angrier, "We lost three good ones out there for what? A fake Luna and her babysitter?" "Yeah,

Chapter: Chapter 50~Rowan~We sat there in that stuffy room for what felt like forever after he dropped his bomb about using Elara as a stand-in, me, Jace, Niki, and him hashing out the details like we were planning a heist instead of trying to save our asses from a pack meltdown, and yeah, it was tense, everyone throwing ideas back and forth, Jace cracking stupid jokes to lighten the mood but nobody really laughing because this was serious shit, life-or-death serious, and I kept glancing at Areum, his face all determined but eyes showing that flicker of hurt like he hated the idea of hiding but knew it was the only play."Alright, so Elara it is," Jace said finally, rubbing his hands together like he was excited, "but how do we get her without starting a full-blown war with her dad's pack? Because that's exactly what we don't want, right, more enemies?" I nodded, leaning back, arms crossed, "Yeah, but think about it, a mini war with them is better than civil war here, at least it's external, we can con

Chapter: Chapter 49AreumI sat on the edge of the bed with my hands locked together so tight my fingers hurt, staring at absolutely nothing, thinking about everything at the same time, which was my least favorite mental activity because it always ended with either a headache or me saying something unhinged out loud and Rowan giving me that look like he loved me but was also preparing for chaos.Rowan kept pacing. He paced like a man whose world was one bad sentence away from exploding, boots hitting the floor too hard, turning too sharp, muttering under his breath like the walls personally offended him.“Stop pacing,” I said.“I can’t,” he snapped.“You’re going to wear a hole in the floor.”“I’ll replace the floor.”“That’s not the point.”He stopped suddenly and looked at me, eyes sharp, jaw tight, and for a second the room felt too small for the amount of tension sitting between us.“They know,” he said.“There won’t be an issue if the Elder does not open his mouth.”I exhaled through my nose, lean

Chapter: Chapter 48Areum's POVI was curled up in the corner of the hall, knees to my chest, because being me meant that every five minutes the universe decided it was hilarious to put me in a position where I could either scream or pass out, and honestly, both sounded equally appealing right now. My chest was tight, my breaths coming too fast and too short, and I could feel Rowan right there beside me, his presence like a damn steel wall I wanted to cling to but also punch because panic doesn’t care about logic.The guard, yes, that idiot, the one who had eyes like a squirrel on meth and clearly no concept of personal boundaries was back, and I swear I could feel his smug grin all the way from here. He looked like he had just realized he might have actually screwed up, and I was supposed to find sympathy for him? Nope. Not today. Not ever.“Areum,” Rowan’s voice cut through the chaos, low and rough and terrifyingly calm, and I swear I almost lunged at him like a lifeline. “Look at me.”I tried. I real

Chapter: Chapter 47~Areum~“Good.”“You sure?”I twisted my head, glared at him over my shoulder even though tears were running down my face now not sad tears, just overload. “If you stop I will literally murder you. Keep going.”He stared at me another second really looked. Then something shifted in his expression. Not softer. Hungrier. Like he finally understood.“Okay,” he said quietly. “Okay.”The next hit wasn’t with his hand.He doubled the belt over in his fist, snapped it once against his own palm like he was testing. The crack made me flinch.Then he brought it down across my ass.I screamed full-throated, broken. Fire streaked across skin. My whole body locked up, then shuddered hard.“Again,” I choked out.He did. Twice more. Each one landing exactly where the last one had so the pain stacked. I was shaking now, ass on fire, wrists throbbing, cock so hard it hurt worse than the belt.Rowan dropped to his knees behind me suddenly, mouth on the welts hot, wet, soothing. Licking over the marks

Chapter: Chapter 46~Areum~The knot finally went down enough that I could peel myself off Rowan without feeling like my guts were being yanked out backward, but the second I tried to roll away, another cramp hit like someone kicked me square in the lower belly. Not the slow build this time straight-up vicious, made my vision tunnel and my thighs clamp together so hard I nearly crushed his dick still half-inside me.“Fuck fuck fuck,” I hissed through my teeth, curling forward until my forehead smacked his collarbone. “Not done. Not even close. Why is this heat trying to murder me today?”Rowan’s arms came around me instantly, big hands sliding up my back like he could hold the cramps in place with sheer willpower. “Breathe, Luna. I got you.” His voice was wrecked, hoarse from all the begging and groaning, but still stupidly gentle. It pissed me off how much I liked it.“Don’t ‘Luna’ me right now,” I snapped, shoving at his chest even though I didn’t actually want him to let go. “I’m not in the mood for
