Chapter 301 Chapter 301 ALEXANDER I was standing in the living room when the gate closed behind Cole and Anna. +25 Points The sound echoed faintly through the house, followed by silence… the kind that settles after guests leave and the house exhales. I remained where I was, hands clasped
Chapter 300 Chapter 300 FAYE After dinner, I asked to give Anna a tour of the grounds. I was glad she didn’t hesitate. The walk was quiet at first–just me pointing at places and Anna nodding softly. We were already a few steps into the compound when she finally spoke.
Chapter 299 Chapter 299 +25 Points Roman was sitting up on the edge of the bed when Dr. Adams walked in. He wasn’t sleeping. Just sitting there, hands loosely clasped, gaze lowered like he’d been listening to something only he could hear. “You look good,” Dr. Adams said lightly as
Chapter 298 Chapter 298 Chapter 298 FAYE +25 Points I found Cole by the car just as he was finishing up, the hood still lifted, steam curling faintly as the engine warmed. He had one hand braced against the frame, the other adjusting something I didn’t pretend to understand. He
Chapter 297 Chapter 297 Chapter 297 Chapter 297 FAYE I was standing on the balcony, just looking outside as my thoughts spiraled. +25 Ponts I was alone now, far from the clinic, and yet the word followed me as clearly as if it had been spoken right beside my ear
Chapter 296 Chapter 296 FAYE I paused outside the door longer than I meant to. +25 Points It wasn’t hesitation exactly–more like a quiet recalibration. I had walked into battlefields with less awareness of the weight pressing on my chest than I felt standing there, hand hovering inches from the
Chapter 295 Chapter 295 FAYE +25 Points I stepped out of the shower, wrapped a towel securely around my body and reached for another to blot the water from my hair. My skin was warm, loose with that brief sense of calm that only came from hot water and isolation…those
Chapter 294 Chapter 294 +25 Points Early morning light filtered into the room in thin, cautious bands, slipping past the curtains a if unsure it was welcome. The young man was already awake. He lay staring at the ceiling, eyes tracking the faint movement of shadows as the light shifted.
Chapter 293 +25 Parts He woke abruptly, breath tearing out of his chest as if he had been dragged up from deep water. For a moment, he didn’t know where he was…or worse, who he was. His eyes flew open to dim light and unfamiliar shapes, his body slick with
Chapter 292 FAYE 175 Points The silence between us didn’t feel empty–it felt loaded, like everything unsaid was pressing in from all sides. Alexander stood across from me, his posture rigid, his expression blank. The office felt too quiet now, stripped of Kyle’s presence, stripped of movement, stripped of distraction.
Chapter 291 ALEXANDER I stared at Faye for a second longer than was polite. +25 Points She didn’t look hysterical. She didn’t look confused. She didn’t even look emotional in the way she sometimes did when her heart got ahead of her judgment. She looked… certain. Quietly, stubbornly certain. And
Chapter 290 Chapter 290 FAYE +25 Points The door shut softly behind me as I stepped back into the corridor. For a second, I just stood there, letting the steady rhythm of my heartbeat slow. Whatever I had just seen in that room–it had settled into my bones in a
Chapter 289 Chapter 289 FAYE +25 Points The pack house had been buzzing since dawn, whispers sliding through hallways, guards shifting posts more often than usual. By the time I made my way back toward Alexander’s office, fully dressed now, the room was still empty. I paused at the doorway,
Chapter 288 He smirked but said nothing. Then I remembered… Of course, he could hear my wolf. “I can’t help it,” I whispered. “Every time I close my eyes, I see him. Lying there. Alone. I keep wondering how long he was out there before the patrol found him. What
Chapter 287 Chapter 287 FAYE No one really went back to sleep after the bell. +26 Point The pack house stayed awake in that strange, restless way that comes after a disturbance–too quiet to be normal, too alert for rest. Even when people returned to their rooms, the tension lingered
Chapter 286 ALEXANDER I crouched beside the young man for a moment longer, my hands hovering just above him as my mind ran through the possibilities. My instincts screamed caution. This could easily be a trap–someone testing the Blood Crescent, baiting us out, or sending a message. Taking him in
Chapter 285 TAVE I turned to Alexander, still flushed from earlier, and harrowed my eyes at him, half amused. “Really? Teald, my voice low. “Of all the excuses you could come up with… “Your Luna isn’t feeling well? He shrugged casually, that infuriatingly calm smirk tugging at his lips. “It
Chapter 284 Chapter 284 FAYE +25 Points His breath warmed my skin, shallow now, controlled but no longer distant. When his lips brushed my fingertip, it wasn’t accidental. I leaned in and kissed him. He answered immediately. His mouth met mine with quiet eagerness, tilting just enough to deepen it,
Chapter 283 The office felt different when it was just the two of us. Less like a place of work, more like an extension of whatever life we were slowly building between meetings, reports, and responsibilities. Faye was sitting on the couch across from my desk, slightly turned inward, her
Chapter 282 Chapter 282 ALEXANDER Cole was already inside the office when I arrived. He stood near the desk with a folder in his hands, posture straight, expression focused. If he’d been waiting long, he didn’t show it. “You’re early,” I said, setting my jacket aside. He shrugged lightly. “Didn’t
