I didn't want to be impressed. I was used to the cramped, modest life Camelia and I shared, and I had already decided that no matter how fancy this place was, it wouldn't feel like home.But as I finally stepped inside and looked up, the air left my lungs. My jaw dropped in spite of myself.āWow,ā I whispered, the word escaping before I could catch it.The room was a magnificent explosion of blush, cream, and rose goldāa literal Barbie world brought to life with a sophisticated, modern edge.In the center sat a sprawling king-sized bed with a headboard of tufted pink velvet that reached toward the ceiling. It was piled high with silk pillows and a faux-fur throw that looked soft enough to sink into and never return.Dangling directly above the bed was a chandelier that looked like it belonged in a fairy tale
Brielle's POVThe dining room went entirely quiet. The only sound left was the rattle of my motherās fork clattering against her porcelain plate as her mouth fell open in pure shock.Beside her, Alpha Blakeās face hardened, his jaw clamping tight enough to snap a bone. His eyes locked onto Jayden, a deep, commanding Alpha energy rolling off him, making the very air in the room feel heavy and suffocating.āJayden,ā Blake said, his voice dropping into a low, terrifying frequency that vibrated right through the floorboards. āYou will watch your tongue when speaking to your stepmother. I will not warn you again.āJayden didnāt even blink. He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest as he met his fatherās lethal glare with complete defiance. The dark tattoos lining his forearms practically hummed under his skin, but he kept his mouth shut, a dark, victorious smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.I sat frozen in my seat, my heart slamming against my ribs like a trappe

Brielle's POVI blinked rapidly, realizing I was just standing frozen in the middle of the bleachers before I felt Velvetās hand snap against my back.āHey! You good?ā Velvet asked, bringing me completely back to reality.My eyes darted down to the ice, landing on Jackson, who was already smiling and waving up at me from the rink.I let out a breath, realizing the stadium kiss had been yet another hallucination. I was clearly losing my mind today. Around us, the stands were packed with students and visitors dressed up in their school colors. It was that time of the year when Briarwood Academy kicked off its massive multi-sport competition. From hockey and lacrosse to basketball and volleyball, the brothers had dominated the awards every single year. This year, I just hoped things wouldn't be any different.āWe welcome everyone on boardāā The announcerās voice boomed over the loudspeakers, and the visiting teams who had come to compete against Briarwoodās hockey players started troopin
Lucian's POVIād been forcing myself to stay completely away from her, but the memory of the night I took her virginity wouldn't leave me alone for a single second. The fear of breaking her makes me scares me. I couldn't let what happened to Isobel happen all over again.āItās been a hundred years, Lucian. Are you seriously just going to sit back and watch your nephews claim your mate?ā Drakeās voice rumbled in my head.I downed another shot of tequila, my left thumb aggressively scrolling through her Instagram feed. I gripped the glass, staring at a photo of her in a beach cover-up that had me rock hard in seconds. Then, something twitched inside my mind. A soft, breathless whimper cut right through the quiet of my room.It was Brielle.āFuck⦠Lucian.ā Her voice gasped out through the mate bond.I closed my eyes, shaking my head. I had to be losing it. It was just me missing her, hallucinating her voice because I was drowning in liquor. I poured another drink.āIām hearing things,ā I
Lucian's POVI was a second away from crushing my lips against hers when a loud, vicious knock rattled my door.The sound dragged me straight out of my head, freezing me instantly. I blinked, my hands coming up empty as I stared at the blank space in front of me. There was no hallway. There was no Brielle.I was standing alone in the middle of my own bedroom, panting like a maniac.āWho is it?ā I called out, my voice rough.I rubbed a hand over my face, realizing I had been hallucinating the entire thing. The hallway, the heat, her slick core against my fingersāall of it had just been a desperate fantasy playing out in my mind while I waited in my room.āSire, the master requires your presence downstairs,ā the maidās voice came through the thick wood.āIāll be right down,ā I muttered.āOf course. Itās just dinner,ā she added, her footsteps quickly fading down the corridor.I let out a heavy breath and threw myself back onto the mattress, staring blankly up at the ceiling. My heart was
Brielle's POVThe man from last night, the stranger who bandaged my wounds, stood against Alice for my sake, now standing at the front of my classroom.As my---Professor?āMiss Parkman,ā his deep voice rolled through the air again. āAre you waiting for an invitation, or would you like to sit?āMy l
Brielleās POVI woke up the next day, getting ready for school and silently praying to the Moon Goddess that today would go well.But deep down, I knew the chances of avoiding trouble were slim. My eyes landed on the coat from last night, still draped over the chair. The same coat that had wrappe
Brielleās POVThe room, already tense, fell deathly still as a tall man stepped forward from the shadows of the clubās VIP lounge. His presence was quiet, but it carried weight, like a storm gathering strength before the first crack of thunder.He wore a dark, tailored coat over a crisp black shir
Brielleās POVThree years ago, if someone had told me my life would turn out this pathetic and broken, I wouldāve laughed in their face.āOh well, look who we have here,ā a sharp, mocking voice called out behind me.The tray in my hand shook from a sudden shove. Before I could react, it slipped fro
