Only Yours

Chapter 12

Sebastian POV

This woman is going to be the death of me—my Mate. She stands beside me like she belongs here, that shy smile lighting up her face and the faint dimple only I seem to notice. I’ve tried to ignore it, tried not to think about her, but Axle—my wolf—won’t allow it. He knows she’s mine. Her scent, a mix of vanilla and honey, lingers in my mind, distracting me from everything else.

I’m the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, the largest and strongest in the States. For years, I thought I’d never find my Luna. Then I found her—and learned she’s human. That complicates everything. How will she take the truth? How do I tell her about the bond we share without scaring her away?

When she slipped into my shower that night, Axle took over—fierce, possessive, jealous. Maybe it’s wrong to admit I’m glad I was her first. She’s mine, completely. Now, I just need a plan to tell her we’re meant for each other—and hope she feels the same.

Audrey POV

We stepped outside, the cool breeze brushing against my skin, clearing away the last of my tension. Around us, the city buzzed with life, but for a moment, it felt like we were the only two people in the world. Sebastian’s fingers entwined with mine, and I caught the hint of a smile on his lips.

“Where are we going?” I asked, curiosity stirring.

He turned to me, his gray eyes catching the light, deep and unreadable. “Somewhere that’s ours,” he said, leading me down the street.

As we walked, I felt a strange shift in the air—a magnetic pull I couldn’t explain. There was always something about Sebastian that felt just out of reach, like he was holding back a part of himself. Yet here he was, with me, offering comfort and escape—and that was enough.

We arrived at a small park tucked between buildings, quiet and secluded despite the city’s chaos. Sebastian guided me to a bench beneath a tree, its branches forming a gentle canopy overhead.

“This is one of my favorite places,” he admitted softly. “I come here when I need to think.”

I looked around, feeling the calm settle over me. The late afternoon sun filtered through the leaves, casting golden patches on the ground. It was peaceful—a hidden world within the madness.

“It’s beautiful,” I said, turning to find him watching me with a thoughtful expression.

“Audrey, I want you to know something,” Sebastian said, leaning forward, elbows resting on his knees. “There’s more to me than you see. Someday, I’ll have to show you all of it. But for now, being here with you means more than you realize.”

A shiver ran down my spine—not from fear, but from the weight of his words. There was a truth in his voice I couldn’t ignore.

“I don’t know what it is about you,” I whispered, “but I feel like I’ve known you forever. Like there’s something... familiar.”

Sebastian’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Maybe there is.”

Before I could ask what he meant, he reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear, his touch lingering just a moment too long.

“Let’s just enjoy today,” he said, leaning back to watch the sky. And as we sat there, the unspoken promise between us hung fragile yet undeniable.
