Chapter: Book FinaleExtra continuedGabeWhen Piper finally left, my father didn’t come out of his study. He stayed locked inside, silent and alone. I didn’t bother waiting for him. I simply turned and headed toward my quarters.Just then, my phone buzzed with a text from Danae.She was coming over.A small spark of relief mixed with nervousness settled in my chest. Now that she had finally gotten her wish, her brother’s life was exactly what she had dreamed it would be — it was time we faced what we really were to each other.Yes, she was my mate. But I was tired of hiding it from everyone. I was tired of pretending. I wanted my fucking mate, damn it.I was exhausted from the secrecy, from always holding back. So it was good we were finally going to talk. We needed to come to a conclusion. And if she didn’t want me… I would have no other choice but to reject her.Even though I knew it would break me.Still, I deserved happiness too. I deserved someone who could love me openly, cherish me, and let me l

Chapter: Chapter 61MarilynI lay motionless on the thin mattress, my body feeling frailer with every passing day. Just a few days in this place had turned me into a shadow of myself. The only human contact I got was when a guard brought food once a day. They never spoke. They simply dropped the tray and left.I heard footsteps approaching again. Probably the guard with today’s meal, I thought dully. I didn’t bother moving or speaking. They would just leave the food and go, like always.But then a voice broke the silence, a voice I never expected to hear here.“I see you were caged in here.”My eyes flew open. I sat up so fast that my head spun, my heart hammering wildly in my chest. I turned toward the door, hardly daring to believe it.It was Jax.How did he know I was here? Did he plan this with Idara? Was he in on my kidnapping all along? A storm of questions exploded in my mind.“I thought he was lying,” Jax said quietly, looking at me with something close to pity. “But I see he wasn’t. Come here.”

Chapter: Chapter 60IdaraOur loud, breathless moans filled the dimly lit bedroom as Helio thrust into me with that fast, deep, relentless pace he knew I loved. My body trembled beneath him, every powerful stroke pushing me closer and closer to the edge. He seemed to sense exactly how close I was because his hips snapped even faster, harder, driving into me with perfect precision.“You’re almost there,” he rasped against my ear, his voice rough and strained with pleasure.But I could barely hear him. I was lost — completely lost in the overwhelming wave building inside me. My release crashed over me suddenly, intense and shattering. “Helio!” I cried out his name as pleasure exploded through every nerve in my body.The moment my walls clenched around him, he let out a deep, guttural grunt and followed right after me. His hot semen spilled deep inside me as we both convulsed together, riding the high of our shared climax.For a few long seconds, the only sounds in the room were our heavy breathing. Helio’

Chapter: Chapter 59MarilynWhen are they going to get me out of here?Every single minute I spent trapped in this place pushed me closer to the edge of insanity. The walls felt like they were closing in, and my mind was slowly unraveling.When are they going to come back? It seemed my parents still had no idea that I had been kidnapped. They probably thought I was just off on another one of my usual trips or sulking somewhere. If only they knew the truth…Whatever these people wanted me to do, I would do it without hesitation. Even if they demanded that I beg at Idara’s feet, crawl on my knees, or humiliate myself in front of her, I would. I didn’t care anymore. They should just please release me from this nightmare.I swear I will never meddle in her life again. This time, I will disappear for good. I will go far away and never look back. I still couldn’t believe it, Idara had actually married some powerful old man, and now she had the influence to keep me locked up like a prisoner.There was no commun

Chapter: Chapter 58IdaraThe moment we arrived back at the mansion, Mr. Gabe escorted me inside. Almost immediately, Helio came into view. The instant he saw me, a warm smile spread across his face. I walked straight over to him, feeling that familiar pull in my chest.“Alpha,” Mr. Gabe announced with a respectful bow, “I brought back your wife in one piece.”Helio nodded, his eyes never leaving me. “I can see that. Thank you, Gabe.”“And oh—” Mr. Gabe added, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips as he caught Helio’s attention again, “it seems to me that your mother-in-law does not like you.”My eyes widened in shock. “She never said that!” I quickly defended my mom, but then I heard Helio, he was already laughing softly beside me. I snapped my head toward him, slightly embarrassed.“Is that so?” Helio asked once he had calmed down, still grinning. “Well then, I think I have to work harder to convince her to like me.”I shook my head at the absurd statement. “She doesn’t hate you. She actually told me

Chapter: Chapter 57HelioThe look on Calisto’s face the moment he realized he had said far too much was something I had never seen before — pure, raw panic mixed with disbelief. His eyes widened in horror as the weight of his own words crashed down on him.“No… I said that out of anger,” he stammered quickly, desperately trying to backtrack and diffuse the damning confession that had just spilled from his own mouth.I shook my head slowly, a cold smile playing on my lips. “No, Calisto. You have just openly admitted to killing not only my brother, but my father as well. That was no mere slip of the tongue.”I turned calmly to one of my men standing nearby. “I hope you got all of that on tape.”The second those words left my mouth, Calisto did something incredibly foolish.Driven by rage and desperation, the old man suddenly lunged at me, his body already coiled tight with tension from the moment I had walked in. I had anticipated something like this. Before his claws could even come close to reaching me,

Chapter: Liam 4LiamThe first thing I did after coming into power was cut off every business connection linked to my father. I hated the drug trade. It forced people into reckless dealings and turned them into criminals.Now that I held power in my hands, I could expand our operations into something bigger, something that would place me in the spotlight. It would still be illegal, but far less dangerous than the path my father had chosen.Before I could do any of that, however, there was one last thing I needed to do.One last time I needed to stain my hands with blood.“Boy, what are you doing?” he asked as he shuffled backward across the floor.He was running from the son he had sold.The fear on his face was almost amusing. I had never seen him look this terrified before, and it brought a dark smile to my lips.“Not so big anymore, huh?” I asked.I watched his throat bob as he swallowed nervously.The door opened behind me, but I didn't bother turning around. One of my men had arrived with someon

Chapter: Liam 3LiamI was twelve years old when I saw the outside world for the first time, but it wasn't for anything good.My father had given me an assignment. I was to accompany a man named Luke to deliver a shipment of hard drugs to a wealthy and powerful man. I wasn't the one handling the transaction directly; my father simply wanted me to get accustomed to the kind of business he was involved in.My mother never wanted that life for me, but when it came to my father, she never had a choice. And because I didn't want her to be beaten again, I agreed.When we arrived at the mansion, the back of the truck was open and sunlight flooded in. The brightness forced me to shut my eyes for a moment.As soon as Luke and I climbed out, my eyes widened.The place was enormous.A magnificent mansion stood at the center of the property. The gardens were beautiful, and water flowed from a large statue nearby. I had never seen anything like it before.“Move it,” Luke said.I followed him, still distracted by

Chapter: Liam 2LiamI carried my little sister into the closet and hid with her there. She sucked on my finger just like Mom had taught me, a way to keep her from crying.Dad was home.Whenever he was around, we were supposed to hide, and if we made any noise, he would punish Mom. These days, he punished me too.Mom was making those sounds again, the ones she always made whenever Dad was around. And it seems like they were clapping again, and it usually took a long time before they were done.I just hoped my little sister wouldn't get tired of sucking my finger.When I glanced down at her, I let out a sigh of relief.She had fallen asleep.A small smile formed on my face.Her cheeks were so red and pretty.Maybe I should try sleeping too.Holding her carefully in my arms, I drifted off.It wasn't for long.I was suddenly awakened by the sound of my mother crying and my father's angry shouting.“You bitch, you're lucky I still treat you special!”His voice echoed through the room.A loud sound follo

Trust me, I can do that.”I gave a small shrug while he simply stared at me.He then lifted his hand and placed it at the side of my head, his fingers brushing lightly against my skin.“Is that all you want?” he asked in a low voice.From the very beginning, I had always held the upper hand. I simply never used it because I enjoyed being dominated by him.As much as I enjoyed sleeping with Liam, he needed me more than I needed him. I could easily replace him, even with a younger man, but no matter who he slept with, he would never get the same release.And I knew for a fact that he would never willingly let go of the only woman capable of making him climax.Unlike most women, I had my own money and power, something that was very clear. The moment I stopped being submissive to him,

Chapter: Not The Claire He Is Used ToClaireJudging from the way his fists were clenched, he was barely keeping his anger under control.“And what about you?” I shot back. “With all your shady connections and resources, have you managed to find out anything real about me? Or are you still only seeing exactly what I want people to see?”In an instant, he crossed the distance between us.His hand closed around my neck and tilted my head upward until we were forced to meet eye to eye.His gaze was darker than usual.Not the look I was accustomed to seeing from him.But then again, I had expected this reaction.Liam had never been a normal man. Madness had always lurked beneath his calm exterior, so none of this surprised me.“Is that all you've got on me?” he asked, his face only inches from mine.“Maybe not everything,” I replied evenly. “But I know enough to understand why you're so twisted.”A sigh escaped me as I briefly looked away.“I didn't come here to fight with you, so let go of my neck.”I turned my gaze back to

Yet after reading those files, I couldn't stop thinking about him.What I had discovered was horrifying.No one should have to live through the things he had endured.Maybe that was why I wanted to see him.Maybe if he talked about it—if he allowed himself to open up—I would finally understand the man behind all the anger, control, and darkness.But knowing Liam, that would never be easy.He was the kind of man who fought against vulnerability with everything he had. To him, emotions were weaknesses, and weaknesses were dangerous.Still, no child deserved the life I had read about.No child should have been born into that kind of darkness.He had been shaped by cruelty from the very beginning, taught only the ugliest parts of life.And today, I wasn't going to meet him as the Claire he knew.Not the woman who kissed him.Not the woma

Hidden among my medications were several pregnancy test kits. I reached for one and held it tightly in my hand.Please let this be positive.I had plans for this family, and carrying a child was an important part of them.After taking the test, I waited impatiently, my eyes fixed on the result.The moment the word Pregnant appeared, a slow smile spread across my face.I knew it.Everything had gone exactly the way I wanted.Still, I couldn't announce the pregnancy just yet.

Strangely enough, I didn't think that was a bad thing.I never imagined I would enjoy kissing someone this much. From all the movies I had watched growing up, kissing always looked... well, a little gross to me. I could never understand why people enjoyed it so much.Now that I had experienced it myself, I realized how wrong I had been.Or perhaps...It was simply because I was kissing Malcolm.The more he kissed me, the more I found myself wanting another.When he finally pulled away, I let out a deep breath, only then realizing I had been holding it for quite some time."It would do you good to leave before I lose my patience," he said in his usual calm voice.My eyes widened immediately."I...

If she wanted to get hold of my contact, I doubted it would take her more than a few minutes.What shocked me even more, however, was the reason for her call.She had casually asked when Malcolm and I intended to make our marriage public.At first, I planned to wait until the end of the workday before bringing it up with him. But ever since I arrived at the office that morning, I hadn't seen him once, and... if I was being honest with myself, I wanted to.So, I used his grandmother's phone call as an excuse to come and see him.Thankfully...It worked perfectly.The moment I stepped into his office and our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't as though a woman had to wear a suit every single day.

Her eyes bore down on Kendrick, who sat stiffly at the long dining table like a king without a crown. “How does it feel? Tell me, how does it feel knowing the woman you once desired—whose entire family you had slaughtered, who you had bound, beaten, humiliated—now stands above you, untouched and stronger than ever?”She stepped closer, her presence like a shadow looming over his once-proud frame. “Does it make you feel pathetic? Worthless?”Kendrick’s nostrils flared. With a furious roar, he slammed his fist against the table. Plates jumped, cutlery clattered. In a blur of movement, he was on his feet and at her side. His eyes—once bright with arrogance—now burned with rage, glowing like fire trapped behind ice.Still, Maya didn’t flinch.He grabbed her chin, rough fingers pressing into her skin as he forced her to look up at him. “Don’t test me, woman,” he growled, h

He paced around her like a predator eyeing its prey—and she could feel that’s exactly what she was to him.Every instinct in her told her to run and hide, but his scent overwhelmed her senses. He sniffed at her rear, and before she could react, Altair’s wolf was preparing to mate.Realizing what was happening, Maya tried to shift back into her human form, but she couldn’t. Her wolf, it seemed, wanted it too.They had never done this before, so she wasn’t sure what to expect. A sudden thought struck her—had he done this with others? The idea stirred emotions in her she hadn’t even known she could feel.Before she could resist, he was inside her. Her eyes widened briefly before her wolf relaxed, surrendering to the act. As they moved together, he bit into her neck, and she let the sensation consume her.It was unlike anything she had experienced in their human form. She didn’t think she could ever get used to t

As he surveyed his surroundings, he realized that the crimson pack was everything he had heard, igniting a deep-seated jealousy within him. The fact that he was now a subordinate to Alpha Altair infuriated him; he despised everything about the situation and would not hesitate to eliminate both Altair and his so-called mate if given the opportunity.A large door swung open, and Alpha Kendrick was ushered inside. At the center of the room stood an elegantly arranged table with chairs, where Alpha Altair occupied the head seat, while a delicate figure sat with her back to Kendrick.Upon entering, Kendrick's posture shifted dramatically; the confidence he had exuded moments before was replaced by a demeanor more befitting one of Alpha Altair's servants. "Greetings, Alpha Altair," he said with forced politeness.Altair merely hummed in response, a slight smile gracing his lips. "I believe I a

Chapter: The story of Maya and Altair 9The following morning, Maya awoke to a sharp pain in her back, acutely aware of a body pressed against her. Without needing to turn, she recognized who it was. The previous night had been intense; he had taken her with a primal fervor. Initially gentle, his demeanor had shifted as the hours passed, becoming increasingly aggressive. Despite the discomfort she now felt, she couldn't deny the enjoyment she had experienced. "Are you awake?" he murmured, kissing her ear. "Yes," she replied, her voice sluggish. He chuckled and sat up, tousling his hair. Her stomach growled, prompting him to turn and laugh. "Stop laughing," she said, feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over her. The night’s activities had left her ravenous. He rose from the bed and lifted her as they made their way to the bath. In a nearby forest, Reece surveyed the area, spotting a house that appeared in disarray. As he explored, he stumbled upon something that made him recoil; the remains of what seemed to be a long-

Although months had passed, the ache lingered, refusing to fade.Then she recalled his words after they had marked each other: "You have a new family now." Those words brought tears to her eyes as she admired her reflection in the mirror, her hand instinctively reaching to touch the mark he had left on her.She had not anticipated the bite would evoke such pleasure; initially painful, it soon transformed into a tingling sensation in her stomach. She couldn't quite identify that feeling, but it was one she enjoyed.A maid knocked on the door, announcing, "The alpha is on his way." The other maid, who had been preparing her for the evening, quickly bowed their head and exited, leaving Maya alone.

If I do, will you reject me?" she inquired, a glimmer of hope flickering within her. He regarded her with a blank expression. "I don't believe I will, even though I once thought I might.
