Chapter: Chapter 152Third Person POVRussell steps back, offended by the accusation. His eyes sweep over the crowd and the consensus is clear—they do suspect him.“Really?” Russell asks, holding out his arms. “You think I did it? You think I somehow magically made him have a heart attack to take over the company? Are you guys listening to yourselves?”Now that he voiced it out, it is kind of silly, Elena thinks to herself.It’s not like he was around when the whole thing happened. It’s just that Uncle Marcus is at the height of his emotions, which is causing him to act out like this.The logic is getting easier to absorb now, and Uncle Marcus sits back down, breathing hard. “If you didn’t want to be suspected, then maybe you shouldn’t fucking ask who’s going to take over the damn company.”“I’m just being practical over here,” Russell says. “We still don’t know if it’s going to be me or you or Elena.”“I already forfeited my position,” Uncle Marcus snaps at him. “Just… can’t you just be normal and stop f

Chapter: Chapter 151Elena’s POVThe phone falls from my slackened grip, crashing right onto the floor. Everything feels like it’s in slow motion. The room spins, the jewels in front of me turning into a cluster of stars, making me sway in my spot.Tristan catches me before I can fall.“I need to get to him,” I just stammer. “I-I need to get to Grandpa….”“Then I’ll take you,” Tristan says without hesitation.Simone nods and takes the jewelry away. She reaches for the one around my neck and I unclasp it myself and hand it to her. I know I’m mishandling a gift like it’s nothing, but Tristan doesn’t even pay attention to it. His eyes are on me. His hand is on my back, consoling me, leading me to the door.“Find out what hospital they’re in,” Tristan orders James, who jumps into it immediately. “Hey, just breathe, okay? Don’t panic. Your uncle is on top of it. He has to be. Right?”I try to nod, but my entire body is shaking. I try to pick up the phone to call Uncle Marcus again and ask where they are, but t

Chapter: Chapter 150Elena’s POVDenial hangs at my lips, ready to come out. But for some reason, I don’t have the conviction to let it out. I just stare at Tristan like a deer caught in the headlights. Like I had nothing to say. Like I had no guilt to hold.Tristan stares at the paper, his eyes raking through it. It’s just the signature page, but it’s loaded. It almost feels like our entire history is on there, under his scrutiny.“Tristan,” I start to say, even though I have no defense. “I-I can explain—”“Explain what?” He can’t even put the paper down. “You told me… you said you had something for work that you wanted me to sign. This was it, right? This was the thing that you wanted me to sign all along?”I don’t say anything. Because what else is there to say?“You said you can explain.” Tristan’s voice rises with emotion. “But now you’re not saying anything. Funny how that works, huh?”I can tell that he wants to get out of the car. Maybe just out of my space in general. But he stays there, staring

Chapter: Chapter 149Elena’s POVThe school’s family day passes like wind. I barely even keep track of it. One moment, Tristan and I are coming back to see the kids and Alexander. Then the next, I’m at the sidelines watching them play more games.I cheer. I laugh. I smile.But my insides are empty.The only saving grace for the day is the happy faces of the children as we take them back to the car.“Will they have another family day next year?” Liam asks happily as he clings to my hand. “I want to go again!”“This one just ended and you want another one?” I ask, smiling as he nods eagerly. “Well, I think they do have another one, yes. We’re joining again. Until it becomes way too embarrassing for both of you to have us adults around.”“That will never happen,” Sophie pipes up, and all of us laugh.Even Tristan.Even Alexander.Guilt crawls all over me like insects. The papers are still in my bag and they feel all heavy as I get into the backseat, guiding Sophie inside while Alexander takes care of Liam, w

Chapter: Chapter 148Third Person POV“Let go of me!” Mira screams, her voice raw as the cops drag her to the station. “Do you know who I am? Do you know what I can do?”The threats are now empty, and she knows that very well. Still, it doesn’t stop her from spouting them at the officers who push her against a seat and try to make her behave. She can still taste what it was like to have those threats actually mean something. For them to have some sort of weight.For them to be backed by one of the most powerful men in New York.She doesn’t have that now. She hasn’t had it for a while, she realizes just now as the officers lay out the paperwork in front of her.Did she ever even have it, Tristan’s protection?His respect to gain that protection in the first place?As a bitter taste in her mouth appears, she realizes that she probably never had it.“Ma’am we need to ID you,” the officer in front of her says. “Please cooperate.”She looks at the lady officer, stunned. “Cooperate with what?

Chapter: Chapter 147Elena’s POVSeeing Tristan with Liam was the kind of emotional lashing I didn’t know I could ever experience.Side by side, they look more alike than ever. The same smile, the same features… everything. It’s like my genes didn’t even stand a chance with him, even though they were dominant with Sophie.I forgot that I wasn’t supposed to be obvious, that Tristan shouldn’t ever know. I found myself cheering for them, my mind immediately wandering to the possibility of what life could’ve been like if Tristan just accepted my pregnancy from the beginning and ignored Mira.It would be like this. We would still be here, maybe. He will be joining the game too. Not as someone Sophie just invited, but someone who’s rightfully here.And when I saw him stand up for Liam….The deceptive signing document feels heavy in my bag all of a sudden.Alexander and Sophie finish the race as the champions. He carries her in his arms and spins her around, and she just looks so happy. Liam comes running out of

Chapter: EPILOGUEEpilogueFIVE YEARS LATER.Third Person POV“Are you serious?” Melissa splutters, staring at the monitor in awe. “I… how did that happen?”The ultrasound technician laughs. “Do you want me to tell you how babies happen?”“Yeah, I think we know that process pretty well,” Zane jokes, and Melissa slaps his arm.They’re in a clinic, celebrating their third wedding anniversary together. It’s an odd place to celebrate for sure, but Melissa can’t deal with her nausea anymore and she figured maybe it’s time to find out if her suspicions are true.And they are true.Melissa is pregnant.With twins.“Six weeks pregnant,” she says, roaming the ultrasound wand around. “Did you not have any symptoms apart from nausea?”“No,” Melissa says, shaking her head in amazement. “My period became a bit irregular for the past year, but that’s only because my clothing line is going international, and I’ve been stressed out.”“You would be less stressed out if you let me help.” Zane kisses her hand. “Come on.

Chapter: 188 - New StoryMelissa’s POVMy chest tightens. “Andrew, please. Drive faster….”“I am,” Andrew says, shaking as he glances at Zane. “You need to hold on, brother. You need to make it. Please!”With that, he guns it. The police are way too busy going to the area to stop him. I look back as Lottie settles on my lap, and I manage to see the officers pinning Eleanor to the side of the street, arresting her.It’s all over.Eleanor will be put behind bars.Hunter is dead.But Zane….I don’t want to think about it. Even when we arrive at the hospital, I refuse to think about it.The nurses and doctors take Zane in immediately, bringing him to the operating room.Andrew and I sit out front, getting treated by nurses. Lottie is snuggled against Andrew, still crying. That’s the only sound that passes between all of us. I just watch the door, wondering what they’re doing to Zane. Wondering what happened to him.Wondering if he’s going to make it.Hours pass. I’m heavily reminded of waiting around for Allie’s r

Chapter: 187 - TrickeryMelissa’s POVTime was already slow before, but now, it completely stops.The bullet I fired shoots to the side, completely useless, while Zane sinks to his knees, his eyes still wide in shock. Blood starts to flow from the top of his head to his face, streaming down his cheeks like tears. He raises a hand like he’s reaching for me, but I stand there, completely frozen.Meanwhile, Hunter spits out blood and laughs, raising his gun to fire more. “I warned you. I will kill all of you.”I don’t know what hit me. The idea of death and killing someone has always been too much for me, especially when Allie died. It’s too dark, a concept that I never allowed myself to think about, even when Eleanor’s abuse was at its worst.But seeing Zane like that, understanding the possibility that this is the end of his life… it broke something in me.I start to fire the gun. Over and over. As many times as I can. This time, my aim remains true. The bullets don’t ricochet. They all hit Hunter. On his che

Chapter: 186 - Lucky ShotMelissa’s POVEverything around me is dark.The last thing I remember is Hunter grabbing me by the hair and slamming the side of my head against the open panel in the elevator. I remember the blood. I remember the vision blurring. I remember flashes of being taken into a car, right into a warehouse. Lottie was there, and Eleanor too. Eleanor who slapped me many times and brought me into complete darkness….And now I’m waking up.The first thing I feel is pain. It seems to be… everywhere. In my head, my wrists, my ankles, my mouth. I try to take a deep breath, but then I feel the gag in my mouth. I almost throw up. My mouth opens into a muffled scream.But then I feel a hand behind my back.Thinking it’s Eleanor, I try to push my chair back. My eyes are adjusting to the dim light of the small candles around me, and I’m almost certain I will see her face.Only to hear a familiar voice.“It’s me. Calm down.”Did I die? Am I dreaming?Or is it really Zane that I’m hearing?My eyes fill up

Chapter: 185 - Zane's HelpThird Person POVZane can feel that something is wrong.Something thick and foreboding hung in the air, like a warning. He can’t stay still in his seat, so he exits his car and looks at the building, trying to see if he can spot Melissa either from the penthouse window or at the entrance.But just then, the lights in the penthouse turn off. Some of the staff start to leave. His heart jumps out in his chest, and he starts to walk to the office.“Hello?” Zane says to one of the women. “My girlfriend went in there to see someone it’s been twenty minutes and she was supposed to see Andrew.”The women look at each other. One of them looks familiar. Zane is almost certain he’s seen her with Andrew many times. She must be his secretary. “I’m sorry, but no woman came to see me for the last, like… five hours. Are you sure she went here?”That’s all the confirmation Zane needs.Forgetting about everything, he rushes to the building. It’s still open, bright and inviting. But there’s something si

Chapter: 184 - PanelMelissa’s POV“There must be something that we can do. Something more.”Zane’s hands are tight around the steering wheel, his knuckles white. His eyes are intense on the busy street. Even though he’s focused and still, I can tell that he’s tense. It almost feels like his soul is trying to jump out of his body.I don’t blame him.We just came back to the city after what happened. We called the authorities in the province informing them of what happened. We turned the man in, and he did confess.But it seemed that the local police is in Eleanor’s pockets, because they didn’t do anything.“There’s no evidence,” was all they could tell us. “Now this man is a known drug addict here. His word can’t be trusted. For all we know, you bribed him to tell us what you wanted him to tell us.”No matter what we said to them, no matter how hard we tried to convince them that we’re not lying, they didn’t listen.Now we’re back, and it’s like nothing happened.

His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now
“You rejected me,” I spit out, pushing his hands off me. “You humiliated me. You said you already loved someone else. So why are you doing this to me now?”
Fire dances in his eyes. “That wasn’t love. What I feel for you now is love.”
“And why do you think I can still love you after all that?”
“Because I’ll earn it,” he growls, towering over me, cornering me against the wall. He pins me flat with his body, letting me feel his raging hardness. “Day by day, little by little. I’m going to make you love me.”

Chapter: END.MONICA.ONE YEAR LATER.“Roman, will you be careful?” I ask in an exasperated voice as Roman picks up our son from his crib and starts to raise him to the air like he’s some sort of a relic. “If that child gets shaken….”“Come on, he’s not a normal baby,” Roman reasons out, making faces. “Aren’t you, boy? Look at his eyes. Look at his legs. This one’s going to be a warrior!”“Yesterday, you said he’s going to be a smart bookish king when he recognized the word I was saying,” I point out, and Roman laughs.Things are amazing now. I gave birth to our baby half a year ago, and every day, he grows stronger. He grows bigger.He’s the light of our lives.Our little Gabriel.It was Roman’s idea to name him after the boy who sacrificed his life to save me, and it just felt so right.I watch Roman take Gabriel into his arms, dancing him around. It’s a view that I can get used to seeing every single day, but our baby is growing fast. I know that soon enough, he’s not even going to fit in Roman’s

Chapter: One Hundred Seventy-SevenMONICA.I just feel his weight being lifted off me like it was nothing, and when I open my eyes, I find Gabriel there in the room, grabbing Deimos by the collar and throwing him against the wall. Deimos falls to the ground, getting up like nothing happened and kicking Gabriel in the stomach.But Gabriel retaliates with a punch that splits Deimos's lip. He spits blood on the ground and tries to fight back, but Gabriel seems to be much stronger and more solid. He seems to be more determined to win this fight too.Before I can do anything, Gabriel grabs Deimos by the neck and slams him to the ground. I can hear Deimos's head cracking, and I thought that this must be the end of it. We both wait for him to get up but he doesn't move.He must be dead. I hope to all the gods that he is indeed dead.Gabriel tries to pull me to the door but then Deimos gets up and lunges at him, tackling him to the ground and straddling him. He punches Gabriel in the jaw and he groans, but he bucks off Deimos a

Chapter: One Hundred Seventy-SixROMAN.To my surprise, he gets down on his knees and starts to bow to me. “But if you’re suspicious of me, just kill me right now. I don’t want to go back in there.”I don’t know what to do. I just stand in front of him. I don’t think I can kill a boy who just made himself really vulnerable to me. There’s something just plainly awful about doing that, so I just lower my knife and touch his back.“I won’t hurt you, but if you betray me, you’re going to die a slow death and I will make sure of it,” I declare. “Get up. How did you know that I was coming?”“Because I gave the Luna Queen a potion that would help her connection get stronger and contact everyone important to her,” he says, trying to get up with shaky knees. “My name is Gabriel.”He’s rambling. His face is pale and it really looks like he’s going to pass out at any moment. I look around to make sure this is not an ambush, and even as we walk together, there’s no one else around.He leads me to a smaller path in the mountain, a

Chapter: One Hundred Seventy-FiveMONICA.“Bring her back to the bedroom,” Deimos orders, motioning the men to take me.But I keep staring at the young man, who’s the only one who’s not looking at me with lust. In fact, he looks like he’s afraid. I don’t know if he’s afraid of me, or what the men around him are asking of him. Either way, he looks like he just wants to get out.I want to look him in the eye so we could communicate something. I feel like he could help me out of here. But of course, that’s just an idea. I want to look at him first, to know if he’s really against this or not.But he doesn’t look up at me.And the men walking with Deimos are now grabbing me by the arm, throwing me back into the room. I fall on my knees, and I instinctively wrap an arm around my belly. I don’t want my baby to be hurt.It’s harrowing that this is what we have to go through. I’m starting to really think about what they plan to do to me, and the more I think about it, the more it gets fucked up.So this is what they want. To ma

Chapter: One Hundred Seventy-FourMONICA."You promised me!" Deimos is saying in the background.I look down again, my heart beating in my ears now.I think there's only one way to do it without incurring lasting damage.I take a deep shaky breath and call on my wolf. "Are you in there?"Silence. For a while there's only the howl of the wind and the distant rustling of the leaves of the trees in the hill far away. But then, after a few tense moments, the voice of my wolf whispers in my head."It’s time.”Relief floods me. She's the only connection I have from my real life as of now, and I can't be happier."I want you to take over," I reply to her in my head. "I want you to be me and take us out of here.”Her strength fills me. I lean towards the ledge below, but as I do so, the door of the room closes and Deimos's attention is once again focused on me.I whip around and freeze. His eyes are wide with shock. For a second none of us move or speak, but then his face takes on an angry expression. "Get down the ledge," h

Chapter: One Hundred Seventy-ThreeMONICA.“NO!”A scream leaves my mouth, so loud and so hoarse that my vision spins. Black spots start to dance in my eyes, but I don’t care.The last boost of adrenaline from my defense mechanism kicks in, and it’s enough for me to break through my restraints and dodge Deimos’s bite.His teeth clack on thin air. And when he lifts his head again, I notice that his eyes are bloodred – he’s overcome by bloodlust. His look is dazed, animalistic, like a wild predator whose only concern is to feed.And that’s when I realize that this is the mating ritual he was talking about. He’s going to actually mark me like Roman did long ago.“Stay back!” I yell at him as he slowly approaches me, his hands snaking around my wrists “Come any closer and I won’t hesitate to kill you!”“This will be quick, sweetheart,” he croons, his long incisors giving him a slight lisp. He looks at me and that wild animalistic look intensifies. He’s like a lion stalking a prey, or a snake coiled to strike. “Don’t shy aw
