“I swear… I wasn’t snooping.” The words rush out of me before I can stop them.

“I saw someone, I thought I recognized her, and I just… followed. I wasn’t snooping, I swear.”

My voice comes out fast, tripping over itself.

I’m still half pressed against him, my body tilted from almost falling, but his arms are firm around me, holding me steady like I weigh nothing. One hand stays at my back, moving slowly, absent-minded, like he’s trying to calm something down.

I blink, confused. Why is he…?

  • I Hate You, Alpha... Yet I Crave You.    Vera 0030

    Vera “You feel like my mate… and yet you aren't. And every time I look at you, my wolf reaches for you while my mind tells me to run.”He says it like it settles everything. Like the ground should shift under my feet. Like my heart should rise to meet his.It doesn’t.Something tightens instead. Like heat pressed too close for too long, burning straight through. Whatever was left in me that used to answer him… it stays quiet.I step closer, not backing away this time. My hand comes up and lands flat against his chest. I feel the steady beat under my palm, and it only makes my jaw tighten.I’m not scared of him anymore. My fingers press harder, like I can push the past out of him.“You should have thought about that the day you looked me in the eye and told me it's better to keep me close as your sex slave right.”My hand drops, but the space between us stays charged.“You fucked me anywhere and anyhow you wanted. You didn’t even try to hide it.”The words come easier now, each one p

  • I Hate You, Alpha... Yet I Crave You.    Vera 0029

    One second I’m sitting in a beautiful restaurant, soft music playing, lights warm against polished glass, people laughing like nothing in the world could touch them. And then suddenly the room flips into chaos as people rush past me, bumping into tables, knocking things over. The air is thick with smoke, swallowing the lightsI try to breathe, but a hand clamps over my mouth.My body jerks in shock. I struggle, as I twist, trying to pull free, but the grip only tightens. My voice dies against the palm pressed to my lips. Whoever it is doesn’t hesitate. This is planned.I kick, claw, fight—but it’s useless.The chaos becomes distant. My head spins as I’m pulled away, my feet barely touching the ground.My strength slips through me little by little.There’s a dull tingle spreads, crawling through my veins. My muscles weaken. My hands fall useless at my sides.No.I try to focus and catch a scent, anything that might tell me who’s behind this—but there’s nothing.That person is using a

  • I Hate You, Alpha... Yet I Crave You.    Vera 0028

    I pause, my fingers tightening slightly around the glass. The wine inside shifts with the movement, catching the light.“I… don’t think I’m exciting, but I’m never caught unaware. I notice things. I adapt. And I survived. I think I’m… unpredictable,” I add, almost to myself.I let out a small breath.“The sad part is… people don’t stay long enough to find out anything else.”The moment the words leave my mouth, I wish I could take them back. I shake my head lightly, like I can brush the feeling off before it grows into something heavier.Then I feel his hand, covering my free hand on the table. I look up and our eyes meet. And for a second… everything else fades.I’ve noticed it since we got here—the way he looks at me. He hasn’t stopped.But it’s not like Aiden. Aiden’s gaze always burns, intense, overwhelming, like it wants to take.Damon’s is different, it's quiet, deep. Like he’s studying me, piece by piece… like he’s seeing things I didn’t even know were there.“I’m sorry,” he sa

    He stretches out his hand toward me. I hesitate for just a second… then place mine in his. His grip is warm. Steady. Calm.I glance up at him and notice how relaxed he looks, like this is nothing new to him. Of course it isn’t. A man like him… he must have gone on countless dates. Women probably line up just to get a moment of his attention.And yet… He chose me. That thought alone sends a soft flutter through my stomach.We walked toward the elevator, our hands still joined. The doors slide open, and we step inside.I can feel his gaze on me. I try to look straight ahead, but I can’t ignore it. Heat creeps up my neck, spreading to my cheeks.I’m sure I’m blushing.I shift slightly, pretending to focus on the numbers as they go up, but it doesn’t help.When the doors finally opened, I let out a quiet breath I didn’t realize I was holding.Outside, one of his men steps forward quickly and opens the car door for me.I slide in, smoothing my dress as I settle. A second later, he joins me

  • I Hate You, Alpha... Yet I Crave You.    Vera 0026

    I’m a nervous wreck as I get ready for my dinner with Alpha Damon.My hands won’t stay still. I keep fixing things that do not need fixing, touching my dress, checking my reflection, then checking it again.I can't take the way he looks at me when everyone else looks past me. He speaks to me like I matter, out of my head. I hope tonight changes something between us.Because the truth is, I’m attracted to him.And from the way he looks at me, I know the feeling is not one-sided.He has even managed to push Aiden out of my mind. But not completelySometimes, without warning, my thoughts still drift back to him. I hate that they do. I hate that even in sleep he finds ways to haunt me. Too many mornings I wake breathless, tangled in sheets, angry at myself for dreaming of a man I should have forgotten long ago.I wish I could tear him out of my system.“What do you think about my hair?” I ask Rhoda, turning toward her.She looks up from where she is sitting and smiles. “It’s perfect, Ver

  • I Hate You, Alpha... Yet I Crave You.    Vera 0025

    It has been days since my encounter with Alpha Aiden. And to be honest… I hate what it has done to me.I crave him. More than I ever thought possible.It feels like my body remembers him even when I try not to. Like it knows when he is somewhere nearby. the smallest thought of him, and no matter how hard I try to push it away, it always comes back.I hate that part the most.Still… it is better that we have stayed away from each other.What future could I possibly have with a man like him?None. He made that clear.The last time we were together, he said we needed to talk. But before another word was spoken, there was a knock at the door.He left.Rhoda had come to check on me. She laughed the moment she saw my face, teasing me about how red I looked. She kept asking if I was alright, and I lied through every answer.Luckily, Alpha Damon was not around that day. So I dealt with the heat alone until it passed.Even remembering it now makes my jaw tighten.Lost in thought, I don’t notic
