The Alpha Across My Window

Everyone in the city knows the Orion Towers. Two identical luxury apartment buildings connected only by an elevated skybridge on the top floor. Tower East. Tower West. Thousands of people live there. Most never notice the windows directly across from theirs. You do. Every morning while making coffee, you notice the man in the apartment opposite yours. Sometimes he’s reading reports. Sometimes watering the plants on his balcony. Sometimes simply staring out the window with a cup of coffee in hand. He’s handsome. Quiet. Always impeccably dressed. You assume he’s another overworked businessman. You smile politely whenever your eyes meet. He always nods. Nothing more. What you don’t know... Is that the moment you moved into the building six months ago... He caught your scent. And the impossible happened. You were his mate. His one and only. The woman every Alpha is destined to find only once in their lifetime. His name is Luca Moretti. Publicly, he’s the young CEO of the Moretti Group, one of the city’s largest security and technology companies. Secretly... He’s the Alpha King of the hidden wolf clans living among humans. Every instinct screams at him to claim his mate. To walk across the street. Knock on your door. Tell you the truth. Instead... He does nothing. Because you’re human. You know nothing about werewolves, Alphas, or the dangerous world that exists beneath the city’s glittering skyline. The moment you become his mate publicly... Every rival Alpha will know your name. Every enemy he has ever made will know exactly where to hurt him. So Luca makes the hardest decision of his life. He loves you... From a distance. He memorizes your routine. Leaves for work after making sure you’ve safely boarded your bus. Pretends to read on his balcony while secretly watching you water your plants. Turns on the light in his study whenever you stay up late working, simply because he knows you dislike feeling like you’re the only one awake. Neither of you realizes you’ve quietly become part of each other’s daily routine. Until one rainy evening... You wave at him through your window. He smiles. For the very first time. And everything changes. Everyone in the city knows the Orion Towers. Two identical luxury apartment buildings connected only by an elevated skybridge on the top floor. Tower East. Tower West.

And everything changes. ⸻ The Twist One night, while walking home from work, you’re attacked by strange men who don’t seem entirely... human. Before they can reach you... A massive black wolf leaps from the shadows. The creature tears through the attackers with terrifying speed before disappearing just as quickly. The next morning... You glance out your apartment window. Across the courtyard... Luca stands on his balcony. One hand wrapped in a fresh bandage. The exact same place the wolf had been injured the night before. For the first time... You begin to wonder if your quiet neighbor is hiding something impossible.
