The Guardian's Mate Chapter Thirteen: The Wrong Target
Sophia PovThe morning began with tension. Not the kind that came from Damien. Not the kind that followed me through crowded hallways and whispered conversations. This tension belonged to Ethan. I noticed it the moment I walked into the kitchen.He was standing beside the counter, phone pressed against his ear, his expression unusually serious. The dark circles beneath his eyes told me he hadn't slept much. Neither had I.Ever since the attack at school, my mind refused to settle. I found myself replaying the fight over and over again. The blood. The growls. The way Ethan stood alone against three wolves without backing down. Something about it continued to haunt me."Yes, Dad." Ethan's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I paused. Dad? I had never heard him sound this formal before.Whatever Alpha Liam was saying, it clearly wasn't good.Ethan's jaw tightened. "I understand."A pause. Then another. Finally, he sighed."I'll leave immediately."The call ended. For several seconds, he re
The Guardian's Mate Chapter Twelve: Blood and Shadows
Sophia Pov Something was wrong. I felt it long before I understood it.The university hallway was crowded with students moving between classes, yet an uneasy feeling settled deep inside my chest. Ethan had been gone longer than expected. After the meeting with the principal, he told me he would be back soon. That had been nearly twenty minutes ago.I sat alone in the library, pretending to read a textbook while my attention remained fixed on the entrance. Every time the door opened, I looked up. Every time, disappointment followed. No Ethan. No message. Nothing. I hated that I cared.A week ago, I would have celebrated being left alone. Now the silence made me nervous. My fingers tightened around the edge of the book."Get a grip, Sophia," I muttered.Ethan was a Guardian. He could take care of himself. Still, the feeling wouldn't leave. I finally closed the book and stood. Maybe I should look for him. The thought surprised me.Since when was I looking for wolves? Since Ethan. I imme
The Guardian's Mate Chapter Eleven: Ambush
Ethan Pov The walk to the principal's office felt longer than it should have. Sophia remained beside me, unusually quiet after what had happened in class. I didn't blame her.Damien had a way of turning every situation into a spectacle. And unfortunately, this time he had an audience.The principal sat behind his desk while the teacher who had reported the incident stood nearby with her arms folded. Damien occupied one of the chairs, looking entirely too pleased with himself.His smug expression immediately irritated me.I took the seat beside Sophia. The principal cleared his throat."Let's settle this like adults."I almost laughed. There was only one adult in this room trying to start fights, and it wasn't me.The teacher began explaining what happened. Or rather, her version of what happened. As she spoke, my irritation slowly grew.She conveniently left out Damien's comments. She ignored the intimidation.She skipped over the threats. Instead, she painted him as an innocent vict
The Guardian's Mate Chapter Ten: Pushed Too Far
Ethan Pov I hated the cafeteria. The noise. The crowds. The smell of hundreds of different meals mixing together.Everything about the place irritated me.For years, I had avoided eating there whenever possible.Most days, I grabbed something on the way to class or ate somewhere quieter.Today was different. Today, I was here because of Sophia. The moment I entered the cafeteria, dozens of conversations stopped. People stared. Some tried to hide it. Most didn't. Their eyes moved between Sophia and me. The whispers started immediately. I ignored them. I had spent my entire life learning how to ignore attention.Being the son of Alpha Liam Blackwood came with its own complications. People watched. People talked. People judged.None of that mattered. What mattered was the woman sitting alone near the corner of the room. Sophia.She sat with her shoulders slightly tense, pretending not to notice the attention surrounding her. But I knew she noticed.I could smell her anxiety from across
The Guardian's Mate Chapter Nine: Rivals
Sophia Pov By the time Ethan and I entered the classroom, I was already regretting coming to school.The whispers had followed me through every hallway. Some students stared openly. Others pretended not to look while stealing glances whenever they thought I wasn't paying attention. I kept my eyes forward and followed Ethan toward the back of the room.The history classroom was already crowded. Students sat in small groups, talking and laughing while waiting for class to begin. As I slipped into my seat, my eyes wandered across the room.bThen I froze. Damien. He was sitting three rows away. His Beta, Carter, occupied the seat beside him.My stomach immediately tightened. What was he doing here? I stared for several seconds. Has he always been in this class?bI searched my memory. History wasn't exactly my favorite subject. Most days, I kept my head down and tried to avoid drawing attention to myself.But surely I would have noticed him.Wouldn't I? Or had he recently transferred?Maybe
The Guardian's Mate Chapter Eight: Whispers
Sophia Pov The ride back to Ethan's estate was painfully quiet. I sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window while darkness rushed past us.My hands remained clenched in my lap.I was waiting. Waiting for Ethan to say something. Waiting for him to ask what I had been thinking. Waiting for him to tell me how reckless I had been. Waiting for him to get angry. Any normal person would have.I had climbed out of a second-story window. Run away in the middle of the night. Almost gotten myself captured by Damien.If Ethan was upset, he had every right to be. Yet he didn't say a single word.Neither did I. The silence stretched the entire drive home.When we finally reached the estate, my stomach twisted. I expected another lecture. Another confrontation. Instead, Ethan simply got out of the vehicle and walked inside. Confused, I followed. The house was quiet.Most of the lights had already been turned off. The servants had long since gone to bed.Ethan stopped outside my room. "This
