Fated to my Alpha nemesis The Arena
MICHAELA'S POV I know Damon was here at some point during the night. Maybe he only just left. I reach across the bed, and my suspicion is immediately confirmed. The space beside me is still warm. His scent lingers in the sheets and pillows, wrapping around me like a memory that hasn't quite faded yet. I inhale deeply before letting out a slow sigh and rolling onto my back to stare at the ceiling. I haven't slept much. Couldn't. I spend most of the night tossing and turning, my thoughts running in circles until exhaustion finally takes pity on me and drags me into a few hours of restless sleep. I don't know what I'm feeling. Maybe that's the problem. Fear. Anxiety. Excitement. Dread. Everything seems tangled together into one impossible knot sitting in the middle of my chest. All I know is that it's the morning of my trials. And I barely sleep. I'm exhausted. I miss him. And I'm fairly certain I'm developing a headache. With a groan, I force myself out of bed. No ov
Fated to my Alpha nemesis Hybrid emotions
DAMON'S POV The sound of Michaela's footsteps fades slowly. Silence settles over the entryway. I remain where I am, my gaze fixed on the hallway long after she's gone. My hands slide into my pockets as I force myself not to follow. From the corner of my eye, I see Cole lean against the opposite wall. She had asked us to stay here while she went in first. And although every instinct I possess had rebelled against the idea of letting her walk in there alone, I'd understood. This isn't a battle I can fight for her. It isn't even a minute before the silence is broken. "What happens if she loses the trials?" Cole asks quietly. My gaze shifts to him. He's watching me. Not casually. There is no warmth in his gaze. No friendliness. Just the same restrained dislike that I have come to expect from him. To his credit, he keeps it leashed. Barely. And just as quickly, the emotion disappears behind a carefully neutral expression. A lesser man might have found t
Fated to my Alpha nemesis What home feels like
MICHAELA'S POV "Michaela?" I blink, looking up to find that Damon is no longer studying the house but watching me. His expression softens slightly. "Do you want us to come in with you?" he asks, then adds, "We could wait outside if you'd prefer that." The question catches me off guard. For a moment, I simply stare at him. Because embarrassingly enough, I hadn't even considered it. Not really. I'd been so busy worrying about seeing Mum and Talia that I'd completely forgotten another detail. Was I even allowed to bring guests? My gaze flickers toward the front door. Then back to Damon. Then to Cole. Who suddenly looks just as uncertain as I feel. A laugh threatens to escape me. Because somehow the possibility of not being welcomed by anyone feels slightly less terrifying than having to explain why I've shown up with two men. One of whom happens to be the Alpha. And the other my best friend. I shrug. "I honestly have no idea." Neither of them says
Fated to my Alpha nemesis Knock
MICHAELA'S POV By the time we are out of the car, Cole is already waiting outside. He had driven here too, following behind Damon and me in his own car. He takes my hands in his the moment he sees me and gives them a gentle squeeze. "How was the ride?" he asks, falling into step beside me. "It was fine," I say, offering him what I hope is a convincing smile. And it had been. Though Cole had been noticeably reluctant to let the matter drop when I'd chosen to ride with Damon. Cole nods. Then glances over his shoulder, probably toward Damon, who is walking a few steps behind us, studying the house. My gaze shifts between them. Cole. Then Damon. And something warm settles unexpectedly in my chest. A few months ago, the sight would have been impossible. Cole belonged to one part of my life. Damon belonged to another. Two separate worlds that were never supposed to meet. Yet here they are. Walking beside me. One on each side. For all their differences,
Fated to my Alpha nemesis For her
DAMON'S POV. “I’ll drive you?” I offer the moment she tells me what she intends to do. I try my best not to comment on her puffy eyes, tear streaked cheeks, the way she'd left the study earlier like the world was falling apart and she was at its center. Or the fact that she'd asked for some more tear drop suppressants when she got back. I knew Michaela enough to know that pushing wouldn't get me anywhere with her, it'll only make her push back seven times harder. She looks up at me for a second. Then another, contemplating. “Okay.” She says finally. I sighed, relieved. For a second there I thought she wasn't going to let me be there for her at a moment where she'd obviously need someone by her side. “I'm coming too,” Cole says, stepping into the study and coming to a stop behind her. My gaze shifts towards him as he enters. “Naturally,” I reply, not at all surprised. For a fraction of a second, something sharp flashes through me. It's not anger. Not surprise. Just the u
Fated to my Alpha nemesis Before everything
MICHAELA'S POV "Cole. You're here."I immediately wipe at my face.As though that will somehow erase the evidence.Cole's eyes narrow.His expression changes instantly."Mia?""I'm fine."The lie leaves my mouth automatically.Cole doesn't even pretend to believe it.I watch his gaze move over my face.The tears.My red eyes.The fact that I look like I've just lost a fight with my own emotions.His jaw tightens."What happened?"I look away.Because suddenly I don't want to answer.Don't want to talk about it.Don't want to think about it."Nothing," I say quickly.Too quickly.He studies me closely."It's nothing, really," I add.He doesn't buy it.Not for a second.I take in a deep breath and let the rest out with a sigh. "The council picked a date."The words come out smaller than I intend."The first trial is in two days."Something flashes across his face.Not surprise.Something else.Slowly, I realize he already knows.That immediately catches my attention."You already knew
Fated to my Alpha nemesis Shaking
If Dad could see me right now, he’d probably be disappointed. All those years of training, and here I am—panting like a dying animal after a few rounds of sparring. But the truth is— Dad didn’t train me for this. Whatever this is. He trained me to anticipate rhythm. To understand my opponent
Fated to my Alpha nemesis The second day
I don’t think I slept a wink last night. I got back to my room at about three o’clock in the morning, changed out of my day clothes, and plopped onto my bed. When I try to close my eyes and let my mind drift to the land of respite, I’m assaulted by sensations I’m trying to forget. What if I ha
