Chapter 1: The Alpha's House

THEA"Will you stop crying, for Moon’s sake?"Liana’s voice cut through the car, sharp and loud, her hands were tight on the steering wheel, her knuckles pale, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.I tried. I really did.But the tears wouldn’t listen.They kept falling, hot and stubborn, blurring the passing lights outside. The city stretched around us, tall buildings, glowing signs, wolves moving through the day like shadows. Everything looked alive… everything except me.My chest felt hollow.Even after everything my family said... "forget him, move on, he’s not worth it," it didn’t change anything.Noah was my mate.Or at least… I thought he was.I thought the bond meant something. I thought he felt it too. The pull, the warmth, the way my wolf would settle just hearing his voice.But I was wrong.So wrong.He didn’t love me.He just… used me.Because I was an omega.Because I was easy.My chest squeezed, and another tear slipped down.Beside me, Liana cursed under her breath and hit

Chapter 2: Drooling Over My Best Friend's Dad

THEABut before Liana could drag me over to that huge dining table that could fit two whole families, I stopped her right there in the hallway."What?" She raised her brows at me, looking a bit confused.I pressed my hand against my stomach. "I'm feeling pressed. I need to use the bathroom," I said.She nodded, letting go of my arm. "Okay then. You'll meet me here when you're done."I walked away from her fast, heading straight upstairs. My heart was already beating harder than normal. I wasn't really going to ease myself. I just needed to check something. My instincts were screaming at me at that scent... It had been faint but steady ever since we passed the left corner where her dad's room was. I wanted to know if Alpha Rowan was really around, even though Liana had said he wasn't home, and if he was here... why wasn't he coming out to say anything?I wanted to see him, just once.To know what he looked like now. To understand why so many women in the pack kept whispering about hi

Chapter 3: Forbidden Taste

THEAHe didn't wait for an answer... He pushed forward, sliding into my mouth. I gasped, a muffled sound of surprise, and immediately began to choke."I knew it. You can't take more than this," he smirked, though his voice was thick with need. He started to move his hips, a slow, punishing drive that forced me to accommodate him. He began to moan, a deep, guttural sound that vibrated through my skull. He stopped for a second, pulling back just enough to see the mess I was in.My face was flushed, my lips stretched, and his scent was everywhere."Moon... You're a seductress," he groaned, his voice cracking. "How could I still want to ruin this little mouth of yours when you're already ruined?"Without thinking, one of my hands slid down between my thighs. My gown bottoms were already soaked through. I rubbed against myself through the fabric, my movements frantic and messy, matching the rhythm of his hips. I moaned around him, the sound lost in the friction of our bodies.Then, he s

Chapter 4: Alpha Daddy's Little Secret

ROWANBeing home today felt like the best thing that had ever happened to me, but it was also the scariest.When my daughter and her best friend walked into the house, I sensed them right away. Something about her friend hit me hard. Her scent drifted toward me, faint because she was an omega, but it was grounded, real, and it pulled at me deep inside.I couldn’t focus on the work in front of me on my laptop anymore. My body started heating up as they moved closer through the big pack house. My daughter was giving her the tour, showing her around.When they reached my room, I lost it. I stood up fast, stripped off my clothes, and headed straight for the shower, hoping the water would cool me down.It didn’t. Not even close.I walked out naked and stopped in front of the dressing mirror. My mind went wild. I pictured bending her over, her ass right there, her face pressed against the cold glass while I drove into her tight heat from behind. Hard. Deep. Her voice breaking as she called

Chapter 5: When I Chose to Disobey Him

THEAA week.It had been a full week since I moved into my best friend’s house. A week since I had that encounter with her dad... since I’d been on my knees in his room, tasting him, losing myself in the sheer, overwhelming size of him.And since then? He had become a ghost.Rowan started hiding from me.It was deliberate, a calculated game of avoidance that only an Alpha could pull off so perfectly. He was out of the house before the sun even hit my windows, and he didn’t return until long after Liana and I had gone to sleep. He didn’t even give Liana a chance to ask about when we would start our internships at the company. Every time she brought him up, she just sighed, complaining that her "workaholic" father was drowning in pack business again. But I knew better. I knew he wasn't drowning in work; he was running from a girl half his age.Being with Liana for the week was supposed to be a distraction. She was fun, loud, and full of life. She made me forget about Noah, the guy

Chapter 6: What If I Dared Him?

THEAWhat if I dared him? What would he actually do? He wanted to forbid me from being near other men while he flaunted another woman in my face? Not a chance.Without another word, I walked to the edge and jumped into the pool.The water was a shock to my system, cold and enveloping. I surfaced, gasping, as the group erupted into cheers. Liana swam over to me, laughing as she helped me find my footing in the shallow end. The boys immediately closed in.The one who had been flirting with me moved closer than necessary. His hand came up, ostensibly to help me steady myself, but his fingers lingered on the back of my neck.Another boy brushed past me, his hand accidentally pressing against my ribs, dangerously close to my breast.I felt a wave of pure discomfort. I didn't like their touch; it felt shallow and wrong compared to the way Rowan’s hands had felt on me. But I didn't push them away. I forced a smile, leaning into the attention, keeping my eyes fixed on the balcony above.
