Harley’s P.O.V.

My gaze fell on the corner display case where a glittering diamond necklace sat inside a glass dome, spotlighted like the crown jewel it was. Xander stood there, posture proud and arrogant, with Ella curled on his arm, looking far too smug for someone who poured a bottle of wine on another woman an hour ago.

Hearing Carlos’s calm response, he laughed bitterly. “Of course you think you can. Always the judge, jury, and executioner of the Ledger legacy.”

Carlos was on the other side of the display, his shoulders wide, his stance calm but radiating suppressed dominance. That kind of stillness that felt more dangerous than yelling.

“I am not judging you for anything.” Carlos snapped back, his voice low but lethal. “You want to blow six figures on a necklace for your flavor of the year? Fine! Do it.

But not with the Ledger family’s reserved funds.”

“Ella is going to be my Luna!” Xander said, gripping her waist tighter. “This necklace will be a symbol of her place, of mine,

    Harley’s P.O.V.Ella stood beside the bed, hands clenched at her hips. She towered over Luna Samantha, who looked pale, frightened, and far too weak beneath the soft quilts. Her breathing was labored, her sunken eyes blinking fast.As my voice cut through the tension like a blade, they both gawked at me. Ella turned, clearly startled.“What the hell ...”But I didn’t let her finish and growled, barging inside. “Go away from her, Ella. You don’t get to speak to Luna like that.”Just like a player, Ella swiftly processed the shock and stood confidently, glaring hard at me. Star squirmed in my arms, sensing the tension as she scoffed.“Who are you to raise your voice, omega? This is my house. Don’t you think that just because you brought a damn fruit basket, you are welcome here again!”A bitter smile stretched my lips as she asserted her claim over the Ledger mansion, refreshing the wounds of Xander’s betrayal. I placed the basket on the side table and stepped before Ella, shield

    Harley’s P.O.V.Carlos leaned back in his chair and squinted his crimson eyes, scanning me like I had just flipped his world upside down.“You can get the files?”He repeated it slowly, his tone dipped in disbelief.“The ones I, the chief of the royal advisory council, can’t even pull through the diplomatic channels?”I nodded, my spine straightened as I sank into the chair across from him. The Howler Shadow Pack was a highly guarded territory, with a sly control freak as a leader. It was obvious that Carlos couldn’t access the confidential files using his royal influence.I met his gaze without blinking, letting my voice fall into a calm, professional tone.“Yes, Alpha. Because a weak omega could easily collect the information without raising suspicion.”Alpha’s brows pulled together as he asked.“Explain!Then I will decide, is it safe to take your help or not?”My heart hammered beneath the surface as I kept my face unreadable, folding my hands in my lap. I began with a

    Harley’s P.O.V.I stood in the hallway, wondering what exactly Carlos wanted to talk about now. As he had given me the time frame of fifteen minutes, I made sure to take full advantage of it, wasting them in unnecessary matters. So, when I walked towards mhis office, my heels clicked like guilty footsteps, each step an echo of wasted minutes. By the time I reached the top floor and knocked on the door, I was a bundle of stray nerves and sweaty palms. The mere thought of being scolded for an unknown mistake churned my stomach as I poked my head in, breath held like a secret.“Good morning, Alpha.”I murmured, but Carlos didn’t look up, his eyes were fixed on the laptop’s screen. His expressions were as usual unreadable, holding the faintest curve of pride, something distant and diplomatic. Then another man’s voice came.“It’s truly an honor, Alpha Carlos. My Howling Shadows Pack is very grateful. Our marital alliance will strengthen us both, and my daughter, she is thrilled b

    Harley’s P.O.V.Alex gawked at me as I scrolled through my phone. He frowned as I shoved it under his nose, showing him the profile of a fitness influencer. Not the typical airbrushed model, but a bulky weight instructor turned motivator, who had gone viral for embracing realistic body standards. “Follow him!”I said firmly. “And read his last three posts. Then copy this format.”Alex glanced at me sideways. “Copy? You want to plagiarize a fitness celebrity?”Rolling my eyes at him, I responded.“No genius!I want you to follow a tried and trusted method. There is a formula to this. Look at the way he introduces his challenge, the hashtags, the wordings. People love the transition stories, especially when they are honest and raw.”He scratched his head, clearly uncomfortable.“Okay!But why should I have to post that my company has given me a weight loss task?I already eat clean, and hit the gym five days a week. What’s the need to put my personal routine like a reality

    Harley’s P.O.V.What?Carlos’s bizarre reason took me aback, flushing my face instantly. I didn’t know how he could come up with such ideas and mustered up the courage to say them with a straight face?“You don’t have to sleep on this bed. It’s mine.”Processing the shock of his statement, I managed to utter my opposition. But he shrugged, sinking further into my poor excuse of a mattress.“Well, there’s no guarantee of it. Besides, you need a space that is safe and close to work.” Although my heart raced at the mere possibility of such an occurrence, I feigned anger and glared at him.“Let me guess, you have already chosen my new apartment.”“Keys are in my pocket.” Alpha spoke smoothly. “Want to dig them out?”Gosh!Carlos grinned wider as Star started jumping on the side of his bed to climb into his lap again, completely unbothered. I could only gaze helplessly at that infuriating, bossy, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Alpha.He picked up Star in his arms and spoke autho

    Harley’s P.O.V. Ava strolled into the break room just as Lena was whispering about free meals, catching her off guard. Her heels clicked softly against the tile, and her expressions were equal parts amused and mischievous. She smirked and leaned forward, her voice lowering theatrically. “You seemed like a smart one, Lena. And last time I checked, girls like you are on the top of the hunting list.” Lena froze, eyes going saucer wide. “H-Hunting list?” Ava nodded, speaking solemnly. “First to realize the plan, first to be hunted.” Before I could open my mouth to stop her, Lena jumped from her chair like someone lit a fire under it. “I, uh, need more chicken. Yup, totally famished.” She was gone in a flash, her tray clattering against the trash bin as she sped out. Ava laughed and sank into Lena’s now empty seat, looking smug and amused. “She’s going to avoid me for the rest of her life.” “That was terrible.” I muttered, shaking my head, though I couldn’t hel
