Chapter: To be close to you~Knox~I wanted to relax tonight in a place where I didn't feel threatened or competitive.I didn't tell Everett that. It wasn't something I wanted to talk about with an Omega right now.His room was basically the basement of the omega dormitory block, and it was, as I had noticed the few times I had been there before, genuinely trash. A single tiny bed was pushed against the wall, a desk that had clearly been repurposed for more things than a desk was designed to handle, and a wardrobe with one door that sat slightly open because the hinge was bent. The window looked out to the side of another building. The whole space had the look of a timid person who was living carefully, not putting too much of themselves into a place they weren't sure they were allowed to belong to.It was obvious that Everett still felt like an outcast at the academy, and from the room he was given, he was clearly treated as such.I stood in the center and felt something inside me calm down, just like I thou

Chapter: His Reasons and needs~Knox~I had been watching Everett the minute he stepped in to watch the match.It wasn't surprising because I got used to knowing where Everett was in any room. I thought this was just part of our complicated relationship and not something I needed to think about too much.But tonight was different. During warm-ups, I looked up and saw him in the bleachers. I felt that familiar calm feeling I usually get when I spot him. But then I looked again, and something seemed off.He was looking at the other team's entrance tunnel with a look I had never seen on him before.I had seen Everett scared. I had seen him angry, and cold, and guarded, and flustered, and roughly forty other take-ups of emotions he was always trying to hide and not quite succeeding at. But this was different from all of those.This was the look of someone who had just seen something terrible they had been trying hard to avoid, and the shock had wiped away all their defenses.I had looked toward the tunnel to see w

Chapter: Unclaimed~Everett~The two Alphas glanced at each other in the small office, and suddenly the room felt much colder. The air between them became tense, making even the coach lean back a bit."Sit down,"The coach said it strongly enough that it affected both of them. "Both of you, sit the hell down right now. I am not watching a repeat of what happened on that ice in my office."Neither of them moved for a moment. Then Knox sat, slowly, without taking his eyes off Eric. Eric sat in the last chair, his jaw still swollen, and looked at the coach with a calm face."Good," the man nodded. He looked at all three of us. "Now. I am going to say this once. What happened tonight was unacceptable. The behaviour of both captains was inappropriate, it was unprofessional, it put your teams in a difficult position, and it made this institution look disorganised in front of a large audience." He stopped to let that sink in. "I don't care who started it. I care that it happened, and I care that it does

Chapter: The Questioning~Everett~The walk to the coach's office was the longest walk of my life.That might have been a little over the top, but just a little.Knox walked beside me through the corridor that ran beneath the bleachers, still in his gear, the cut above his eyebrow freshly cleaned and already bruising around the edges, and I walked beside him with my hands shoved deep in my pockets and my stomach doing something deeply unwelcome. As we walked away, the noise from the rink got quieter, and we were left with the echoing silence of a school hallway, and I focused on the sound of my own footsteps and tried not to think too hard about what was waiting at the end of it.I must have been broadcasting my anxiety fairly clearly, because Knox slowed his pace and looked at me sideways."Stop it," he said and I frowned."I'm not doing anything.""You're doing the face.""I don't have a face." I frowned harder"Oh, You have a very specific face,"He said it calmly, like someone who had noticed my feelings

Chapter: The Call~Everett~I should have known this was going to happen. I should have noticed all the signs, first Knox's bloody knuckles before the game then the punch in the bleachers, and now this, two teams fighting on the ice because their captains had decided to use a hockey match to work out something that had absolutely nothing to do with hockey. I stood in the bleachers watching and felt completely helpless and completely responsible at the same time .It was a complicated feeling.The coaches and referees quickly pulled the two teams apart, doing it easily like they had done many times before.Knox and Eric ended up on opposite sides of the rink, with some adults in between them. They were breathing heavily and still glaring at each other, clearly not done with their fight.Eric said something across the distance. I couldn't hear it from the bleachers but I saw Knox's expression change. He looked like he was about to lunge across the ice at him, but ultimately, decided to let the matter

Chapter: A Victory Fight~Everett~The match that followed was unlike anything I had seen in my life, much less at this academy.Both teams were good... I already expected that much from hearing people talk about the game before today — but what was happening on the ice was something beyond a normal game. Knox was a demon on the ice, playing like he had something to prove to someone. His skating was really intense and a bit wild, which made his teammates a little nervous.Eric on ice, wearing the other team's colors, was keeping up with him step for step, looking serious like he took this personally.It truly had become very personal. And it was all my fault.Whenever they met on the ice, there was contact. But it wasn't friendly; it was the kind that was right on the edge between being competitive and being mean.Like they they were testing how much they could hurt eachother without full-on fighting. The crowd could feel their hidden anger and they fucking loved it!They were breathing hard and moving qui

Chapter: 006{The Mad King's Curse}Aiden and Adam got to the Lycan Palace just as the rain became a heavy downpour, with the sky crying over the golden city of Brentwood.They drove their sports cars into the round driveway, the tires making noise before the engines stopped. Aiden got out first, his golden eyes looking at the tall stone entrance of their house.He didn't even have to step inside to know she was there."Shit,"Aiden hissed, his voice rough and scratchy. "I forgot how much I hated her scent. It's like cheap perfume and desperation."Adam stepped out of his own car, throwing the keys to a waiting valet without looking. He gave a short, serious laugh."Bear it, brother. She's Alpha Pious's daughter. Our father is too soft to get blood on his hands, so we play the game. It's either her or a bloodbath, and I'm not in the mood for a war tonight."Aiden leaned on the front of his car for a moment, looking at the dark woods next to their mansion."I miss our grandfather," he muttered. "The

Chapter: 005{The Price of a Secret}The first hit on the wood made Betty scream, a rough sound that got stuck in her throat."Where is she? Where is that whoring little stray?"Dave's voice echoed down the hallway, shaking the floorboards in Betty's small attic room.Betty was past the point of fighting. She crawled into the tight space between her bed and the wall, pulling her knees to her chest and pressing her hands over her ears so tightly that her knuckles turned white.She closed her eyes tight, warm tears running down and soaking into her dirty hoodie.'Stop. Please stop. Just let me disappear, she prayed.' BAM. BAM. BAM.The door groaned on its hinges. Dave wasn't just knocking; he was trying to break everything.Outside the door, in the hallway, Betty could hear Ruby's cheerful, high-pitched laughter. It sounded like a girl enjoying her favorite movie."Oh my god, Dave, stop! You're going to break the door, and then Mom will make her fix it," Ruby giggled. Betty could hear the quick ta

Chapter: 004{The Lion's Den}Ruby Miller really did not like Betty at all. As she stood in the nice, tiled-floored entrance of their home, she felt a lump in her throat.She felt that everything about this moment was a nightmare. Ruby was the kind of girl who was way too fake; she could pretend to be a sweet, caring foster sister in front ofthe pack elders, but the second the doors closed, she was a snake.Now, staring at the Lycan Twins, Ruby rushed to put on her innocent face. Somewhere deep down inside her, she was terrified of Adam and Aiden. Everyone was. The way they worked—with a cold, brutal force—scared anyone who was alive. But her desire to be noticed by them, to perhaps one day be a Luna, was stronger than her fear."A-Alphas," Ruby stammered, her voice high and shaking. "What an... unexpected honor. What is happened? Why is the stray with you?"Behind the twins, Betty stood behind them, pulling her big hoodie tighter around her. The heavy, muddy practice bags dangled on her shou

Chapter: 003{THE PRINCES OF BLOOD } Betty was completely sure the guy with golden eyes was going to kill her. The way he stared at her felt not just threatening, but also like it was the end. He moved closer, his boots making noise on the rough ground of the alley. Before she could scream, he grabbed the collar of her big hoodie tightly. He picked her up off the ground with one easy hand. Betty gasped, her legs hanging helplessly as he pulled her closer toward his face. He didn't look at her as a person; he leaned in and took a deep breath by the crook of her neck, his nostrils widening. The smell of him—leather, cedar, and something old and like blood—hit her hard. Then, he growled, a deep sound that shook Betty's teeth, and threw her back onto the muddy floor like she was trash. "We got the wrong one," He shouted, his voice deep and rough, bouncing off the wet brick walls. Another figure came out from the dark corner of the alley. Betty caught her breath. He looked just like the f

Chapter: 002{THE WEIGHT OF SHADOW} It was finally the end of the school day, and Betty walked slowly behind the crowd hurrying down the hall. She understood why someone would want to leave this terrible place called an academy, but she didn't get why everyone seemed so excited to go home. For the other students, home was a safe place. For Betty, home was just another part of her struggles. It was a place that reminded her of her failures, where it felt hard to breathe. But then again, they weren't her. They were wolves with packs and names. She was just a stray. She sighed and pulled her big grey hoodie tighter around her. She held onto the straps of her backpack, which had juice stains on it. She wanted to hide against the lockers, to become part of the wall, but it felt like the world wanted her to be seen. She was nearly at the door when a big, rough hand grabbed her shoulder. "Going somewhere, stray?" The voice was deep, teasing, and very familiar. Betty's heart sank slowly and pa

Chapter: 001{THE BROKEN MIRROR} Betty wished she had not gone to the school cafeteria to eat, just like every morning. She had spent the first ten minutes of the lunch period standing in the hallway, staring at the double doors and thinking about her chances. There were a thousand hidden spots around Brentwood Academy where a foster stray could hide—like the empty bleachers behind the gym, the wild gardens by the old greenhouse, or a dusty corner of the library where the smell of old books would cover her scent. But hiding was a temporary fix. Sheryl and her pack were smart. They had good senses, developed from years of being the best at the top food chains, and they could track Betty no matter where she hid. They enjoyed chasing her down. It wasn't enough to hurt her in private; they needed the bright lights of the cafeteria. They needed the audience. They wanted to make the embarrassment stronger, a warning to anyone else thinking about being different. And Betty was too weak, to

Chapter: 006✦Raxon✦The car ride back from the hospital was completely silent, and the air inside the vehicle felt entirely suffocating. I didn't say a single word to Nadia, and she didn't dare speak to me either.I just stared out the window at the passing trees, my mind completely blank and heavy with a numbness that felt like ice in my veins.My mother was gone, and the reality of it was starting to settle into my chest, making it hurt.When we finally got to the driveway of the mansion, the numbness I felt vanished, replaced by a sudden, hot surge of pure adrenaline.This house didn't feel like home anymore. It felt like a massive, empty tomb. I slammed my car door shut before the driver could even step out to get it, walking straight toward the front entrance with angry strides.Nadia hurried behind me, her small footsteps scrambling to keep up with my pace on the stone walkway. "Raxon, please, can we just go inside and talk quietly? We need to process this together."I didn't answer her. I

Chapter: 005✦Raxon✦The beep of a machine was probably what woke me up. It was annoying as hell, sharp and persistent, drilling straight through my skull. My eyes felt like they were glued shut and they hurt like hell when I finally forced them open.I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the haze from my vision, and realized there were clear plastic tubes taped to the back of my hand. An IV pole stood right next to me, dripping some clear fluid into my veins.I shifted my weight on the very stiff and uncomfortable mattress, a groan catching in my dry throat, and that was when I noticed the figure slumped in the plastic chair beside the bed.Nadia.Her head was tucked down between her thighs, her dark hair falling forward to hide her face completely. She looked small, exhausted, and utterly broken.The sight of her didn't bring me an ounce of comfort though. Instead, a sudden wave of heat rushed through my chest, burning away the fog of whatever sedatives they had pumped into my system.Memory came c

Chapter: 004A Dead Mother.Raxon's POV“Argh!”Another vase shattered against the wall, missing me by two inches at most.Shantel had torn my apartment, her face streaked with tears as I stood there with my hands raised completely helpless.“Babe, just... calm down for a second,” I muttered, taking a step forward when Shantel snapped her head toward me, “Don't you ever tell a woman to calm down, Raxon!”I instantly backed off because when she got like this, it was better to just let the hurricane run its course.“They announced it on the news!” she shrieked, “Why would your mother do this to me? To us?!”Finally, the rage seemed to drain out of her, replaced with trembling sobs. She collapsed onto the floor, burying her face in her hands and my heart broke.I slowly came down on the floor next to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulled her close, kissing the top of her head.“Hey, look at me,” I murmured, “It's going to be okay. I promise you, it's going to be okay.”Shantel stared at m

Chapter: 003I Ruined His Life.Nadia's POVThe rest of the day was a blur, because everywhere I looked, the chaos kept ensuing. Every radio station was talking about Raxon's PR disaster. Every time a customer checked their phone, I just knew they were reading about it.And I couldn't help but blame myself. If I hadn't been so reckless, if I hadn't attended that stupid party with a fake ID, none of this would be happening.By the time I finally dragged my aching body back home, I was hoping for just five minutes of peace. Instead, the moment I pushed the front door open, Tricia’s irritating voice pierced through the hallway.“Scrub harder! You missed a spot right there!”I walked into the kitchen to find my little brother on his hands and knees, tears welling in his eyes as he scrubbed the floor.“Hey, stand up,” I snapped, my voice dropping all its usual cheer and grabbed his arm, pulling him to his feet. “What happened?”Tricia crossed her arms, rolling her eyes, “He stole my makeup so he needs

Chapter: 002The Proposal.Nadia's POVHe leaned in even closer, so close that his warmth completely enveloped me.And oh my god, his cologne almost got me squealing aloud.“I haven't seen your face around here before,” he murmured, his dark eyes scanning mine, “What's your name? Are you an upcoming star or something?”“I—uh, well, I'm…” I stuttered, my brain completely short-circuiting.I'm so stupid!I couldn't even form a coherent lie or a speech. He was getting way too close, and my spine was pressed flat against the pillar behind me. There was literally no space left for me to lean back, and I was still trying to process the shock of him breathing my oxygen when a loud voice shattered the moment.“Hey! Leave the poor girl alone!”Both Raxon's and my head snapped toward the voice. A man was standing a few feet away, pointing an accusing finger directly at Raxon.“Why are you bothering her? Huh?” The man yelled, loud enough to draw the attention of the guests around. “Not everyone wants to be s

Chapter: 001The Night I Met My Husband..Nadia's POV“Table five needs the double burger, and six and seven are waiting on their loaded fries! Move it!”The kitchen was a total disaster and I was literally flying through it. I had two trays balanced on my left arm and a third hooked in my right hand. I wouldn't call this multitasking, I was practically an Olympic athlete at this point.“Nadia!!”“Fuck,” I cursed, almost slipping.“I’m coming, just give me a second!” I yelled back as I took one fast, confident stride toward the swinging doors, ready to conquer the lunch rush.Except, my shoes found spilled oil and the world tilted.For a fraction of a second, I was flying. It was actually kind of majestic until gravity remembered its job and I went down HARD, followed by a symphony of shattering plates.“Ow, ow,” I groaned, curling into a ball on the floor, on the bright side, at least the loaded fries didn't land in my hair this time. Progress!Almost immediately the kitchen door came open and en
