Chapter: Chapter 53Keegan’s POV“I can’t take this shit anymore!”Like a spoiled brat she has always been, Evie doesn’t even bother to reply to me after she disrespectfully slams her hand on the table as she stands up before storming out of the room, slamming the door open behind her.Damn, this life! When will there be any quiet days?Knowing my good cousin, she is up to no good. Alarm at what chaos she will start again, I rise to my feet, and sigh, “What the hell is she going to do now?”Sienna’s eyes are wide with confusion as she follows suit and stands, her hand caressing her small bump, while my mom looks momentarily shocked before a scowl forms on her lips and her eyes roll.Crossing her arms, she sniffs in disdain, “She’s probably going to teach those lower-class people some manners.My chest tightens as anger rises in me.No. Not here. Not now.This is a public area and not owned by any pack. Not only do we not have power here, but I also don’t want another scandal circulating around.Besides…

Chapter: Chapter 52Keegan’s POVI stood in that cold, empty hallway for a while, unable to move, staring at the retreating figure before me.I cannot exactly pinpoint when it all began… When the woman who brings shine to my life in my younger years, and the same woman who manages to make my heart bleed, starts to slip through my fingers.The hallway is dead silent, but my own heartbeat sounds like a drum in my ears, heavily thudding against my chest like a punishment I can’t escape.Is it during our anniversary? The one I wish I could forget… or maybe change.Or perhaps… is it earlier than that?All of our memories flash back in my head. All the days and nights that barely have meaning. Every memory since our marriage feels empty and cold… But all because of me.All because of those quiet and supposedly bright moments I have overlooked and stomped upon. Those little smiles she gives when she runs to the door to greet me back home. Those little shy glances she has when she makes me try her food… And thos

Chapter: Chapter 51Lillian’s POVThe mirror barely has time to reflect my forced smile before it vanishes as I lock eyes with him through the mirror.It’s Keegan.What are the odds? Fate must really hate me.Of all the places and times, why does he have to be here?I remain still in there, still clutching the tissue I have used to dab away my tears while he stands outside, looking tall and sharp in his black three-piece suit, eyes narrowing onto mine.However, his cold and sharp demeanour shifts slightly when he notices the dampness on my cheeks, which I recognise as a glint of concern floods in his gaze that almost makes me forget how cold his eyes were a few moments ago… and how cold those pair of eyes has been for years.He steps toward me, making my body function again as I hastily hide my face, if it’s even possible, as I’m in front of the mirror, while I dry my face completely out of tears.“Lillian… are you crying? Why?” his voice sounds low and tense. “What happened?”My heart pumps in doubt. Is

Chapter: Chapter 50Lillian’s POVSlowly, as I recover from shock, I feel my heartbeat run faster as a smile forms on my lips. Without wasting time, I drop whatever I am holding and run towards them, not slowing down until I reach them.“Lillian, wait! Slow down.” I hear Maddox in the background, along with Stan and her footsteps, as they follow me, but all my attention is now focused on the group of men in front of me.My steps falter for a moment as I slow in front of them before I steady myself and offer them a broad and warm smile.“It’s been a long time,” I greet softly between my panting.The moment the words escape my lips, they suddenly line up in front of me, taking aback the others in the gym.In precise unison, they straighten their back and greet, “We’re back at your service, Senior Lillian!”Unexpectedly, their voices carry warmth that melts my heart.Their words struck me like a wave, wrapping around my chest and squeezing my heart in an oddly great manner.Senior Lillian…It’s been years, a

Chapter: Chapter 49Lillian’s POVIt’s been days since my conversation with Craig, and it has been good. As always, he remains supportive of me. He even offers to help me find a good place to stay. After all, there are plenty of houses and apartments for rent within the pack’s territory, but I kindly decline his offer.As stubborn as it sounds, I mean it when I said to him that I want to try to do things on my own as much as possible.So, here I am, busy house hunting. As soon as my training ends, or even in between, as long as I have enough free time, I’ll spend most of it looking through several properties.Old, new, pricy, cheap… I’m considering every option and weighing them carefully. I don’t limit myself to looking through my options, but there’s one thing.While Craig respected and supported my decision, he still made sure to slip in his own condition.“At least stay within my pack’s borders,” he says to me before I leave his office, looking at me with a helpless and worried smile. “That way, I ca

Chapter: Chapter 48Lillian’s POV“What the hell, Maddox?” I ask in shock when she pulls me to her side that I almost fall on her.I look at her with wide eyes while shaking my head a little bit, emphasising my question.Instead of answering me, she gives me a shake of the head and a small laugh while gesturing outside the window.Only then do I realise that we have already arrived. Giving her a cheeky smile, I lean closer to her and whisper, “How long have we been parked?”“A few minutes now…” she laughs.“Your mind is flying… And you say you are fine,” Craig adds to Maddox’s teasing.Rolling my eyes at them, I push the door open and get off while commenting sassily, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys had your fun teasing me already. Let’s go.”After we get off, we go and do our own business. Craig probably goes to his office while Maddox and I go to our rooms to put our things away.After a few minutes of rest, I go to shower, but my thoughts are still running about what Maddox and I talked about. So, as soon

Chapter: Chapter 76Madeline’s POVRaising up a letter, I was hiding behind me, my smirk vanished, and I let out a sigh of frustration. Sometimes, I really hate it when I’m right.“What’s this?” he asked, grabbing the already opened letter from my hand.He was about to unfold and read it, but I held his hand midway, stopping him. My eyes wandered around and gestured to a few guards walking around us before I shook my head in warning. “Not here.”He stared at me for a while before nodding his head in understanding and putting the letter in the inside pocket of his coat.“Come on,” he said, putting a hand on my back and guiding me to where our car was parked.Like a real gentleman, he opened the door for me and put his hand on the top of the car’s doorway as I bent down to sit in. I whispered a quiet thank you before scooting over to far inside, giving him room.It’s already dark when we arrive back at the Demonmaw. Aside from some pups playing around with their parents watching over them and guards patrol

Chapter: Chapter 75Keiran’s POV“Alpha Keiran, I hope that everything that has been said in this room is nothing but the truth.”Those were the words that were first said to me by the elders as soon as Adeline and Helena left the room.Maintaining my expression neutral, I kept my usual demeanour and looked them in the eyes without any hint of hesitation. “I wouldn’t dare.”“By all means.”With that, they stood up and started leaving one after another through the back door. When I left the courthouse, I surveyed the surroundings and furrowed my brows when I didn’t see any signs of Helena and Adeline.Did they leave?Just as the question popped into my head, my phone pinged in my pocket. Fishing it out, I saw Helena’s message on my notification and immediately clicked on it, reading: “Alpha, I need to go back to train the other warriors already. Adeline… I mean, Princess Madelaine insisted on staying.”That stubborn girl!I cursed silently in my mind as I stuffed my phone back in my pocket and looked arou

Chapter: Chapter 74Madeline’s POVThe air outside the council hall was thick with late-afternoon fog. We walked slowly through the hallway, exchanging useless small talk to pass the time.“It’s taking forever. You can go back first. You still have to help train the others,” I spoke to Helena, gesturing outside while I leaned back on one of the hallway’s pillars.She raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch. With the increase in new students, spectacular senior warriors like her already had their own troops to train. Her being the first in class had more aside from me.Looking at me hesitantly, she spoke, “But I can’t leave you here alone. How about you get back with me?”I think for a while, the image of Amanda’s glare and Max’s look of impatience flashed back in my eyes. After some thought, I decided that I didn’t want to go back yet.“Don’t worry about it.” Nodding toward the court we just left, I added, “Keiran is still there. I’m not alone.”“But–”She still wanted to retort, but I interrupted h

Chapter: Chapter 73Madeline’s POVI looked at them in confusion and insisted on asking, “How are you guys really planning to do this?”They both looked at me and saw the determination in my face. Standing up, I looked at them more sharply and raised my brows. “I’m not a damsel in distress.”Well, maybe I am in distress. But I am no damsel.They glanced at each other before Keiran sighed in defeat. Our pack has an ally in the witch cities.I looked at him in shock. “But… Aren’t they in hiding?”Witches were known for their witchcraft, but more than a hundred years ago, they stopped using their powers for anything outside their territory. They isolated themselves in their world and lived in peace.I knew they would come out and still mingle among werewolves and humans, but that’s it. They were basically hiding who they were and kept to themselves.“He’s a family friend. Basically, he keeps to his vow. But every now and then, he would come to our aid if needed,” he explained.Pointing at Helena, I asked, “

Chapter: Chapter 72Madeline’s POV“Who is it?” he asked quietly. Though his voice sounded a little low after trying to speak while controlling his breathlessness, the commanding tone remained.It took a few seconds before a steady reply sounded from beyond the door. “It’s Helena, Alpha. I… I need to speak with both of you.”My heart was still pounding, still feeling breathless. But unlike earlier, when I was drowning with the intimate sensation we share, I was feeling conscious about our distance.I could feel Keiran’s tension ripple beneath my fingertips. Though he pulled back a little away from me after hearing the knock, we were still close to each other, and he remained on top of me, using his straightened arms that were pressing on the bed on each side of my shoulders.His eyes remained on mine for a little while before he closed his eyes for control and pushed himself off me, gently sliding from the door. In a quick motion, we moved in sync as we fixed our appearance.With my back leaning against

Chapter: Chapter 71Madeline’s POVI stared at him in stunned silence. Not just because he was here sitting beside me on my bed, but because I was once again forever grateful toward him. He was once again shielding me from any danger. But above all things, I stared at him in shock because of the uncontrollable storm of butterflies that burst to life in my stomach, a sensation so sudden and consuming it left me breathless. Gratitude, confusion, something else I couldn’t name… they all swirled together within me, crashing like waves.But then, just as quickly as the joyous feelings reached my heart, it faded.The kingdom and the faces of those who lived there with me before flashed before my eyes, and the weight of reality crashed back into me. No one but me could imagine the danger he was inviting by letting me stay here… by protecting me.“You’re risking a lot by hiding me here,” I said in a low voice, but we both knew how heavy it was.Silence engulfed us, and tension built up in the air.He’s an Alpha
