Chapter: 170 - Only WayAndrew’s POVMy heart hasn’t stopped racing since I got out of the call and the study. Like a zombie, I drive all the way to the office, staring out into the distance and not even noting the people who are staring at me, whispering as I pass by.I don’t know what shakes me up more: Hunter’s call, or the fact that I might just get kicked out of the very empire that’s built and owned by my family.Yes, I own pretty much all the businesses that Grandpa left. They can’t buy it off me or anything, but they can pretty much remove all the decision-making powers that I have. Which means that if they do end up running all the businesses to the ground, I won’t have a say. I can only watch and nod as they ruin everything that we tried our best to build.I could lose everything. My estates, my money, my savings… all of it.And it all hinges on whether or not they want to keep me here.Finally, I arrive at my office. My secretary is there, pacing the floor. She immediately freezes when she sees me

Chapter: 169 - BoardAndrew’s POV“Daddy! Wake up, Mommy is getting taken by the police!”I snap awake because of Lottie’s words, peeking out of the window and seeing exactly the thing that she described. I also see the hint of vomit on Eleanor’s dress, and a strange feeling overcomes my body. Lottie is crying, and the venue is empty, and I just passed out drunk because of my inability to cope with life anymore….Eleanor is just dealing with all of this all on her own.But why do I not feel sorry for her?Still, I hate that Lottie is crying now. I don’t want to see the child breaking down and seeing her mother getting dragged away.“I’m going to get her, okay?” I say, holding her shoulders. “The driver is going to take you home. And later, I will come home with your mommy.”Lottie doesn’t nod. “What’s happening, Daddy? What did she do? Why is everyone angry with her?”That takes me aback. Not because I don’t have an answer for her, but because I do.But of course, all I say is, “I don’t know.”With that,

Chapter: 168 - ArrestedThird Person POVFor a moment, Eleanor can’t breathe. She can’t even properly register what’s happening.She looks at her side of the street, wondering if maybe there has been a mistake. Maybe the side with the most people is actually her event. Maybe she’s the one who didn’t know what’s going on….But as though determined to prove her wrong, fate drops Heather right then and there, rushing out of the hotel entrance and waves her arms for her. “Eleanor! Eleanor, over here!”“I can see you,” Eleanor hisses as she gets out of the limo. “What are you doing screaming my name? Did you mix up the venues?”Heather shakes her head.For the past few weeks or so, Eleanor has been acting weird. It got a little better leading up to the launch when they got the stolen designs. Heather was actually relieved to finally work on something that’s not terrible. But then, this happened.“None of the guests confirmed,” Heather says at last, embarrassed that she had to say these words out loud. “I thought

Chapter: 167 - LimoMelissa’s POVMy body heats up, and I’m not sure if it’s from repulsion or pity.Or even a sense of familiarity.Maybe even a rush of affection. The part of me that longed for something like this from him a long time ago.“Please,” he keeps begging, and I suddenly get struck with a realization.He means it.For the first time, I can actually believe that he misses me.But it’s too much too late.I push him off me, successfully this time. I watch as he sways in his spot and finally land on the ground.“I’m not Melissa,” I spit out at him. “Your regret is catching up to you, huh? Do you feel guilty now? For everything you put her through?” When he doesn’t say anything, I scoff. “Even if I were Melissa, do you really think that I would forgive you? Do you think you can just cry in front of me and make it all go away?”Andrew looks up at me. “I don’t know. All I know is that it’s way too big to be a coincidence. You are her! You are my wife!”“No.” I smirk. “The wife you’re speaking of is

Chapter: 166 - Back To MeMelissa’s POVDays pass. Those days turn into a week. Until there’s only one day left before the launch.The launch for my own clothing line… and Eleanor’s.I kept everything under control this time. No one else is allowed in the premises of my studio. Zane has hired guards not only for me but for the entirety of my staff, to make sure that none of them would get hurt before we launch anything. Yolanda also has a full security team making sure no one will come back to cause her more harm.Everything is set for me now.Over the past week, I developed designs, better than the ones that Eleanor stole. Realizing that calling Andrew has yielded no results, I figured that he must have taken Eleanor’s side on this one.That’s not new to me at all.Of course Andrew will take her side.So I took it upon myself to make everything better.My winter collection is stunning. I’m in the studio now, and inspecting every last detail before my launch through a fashion show tomorrow. I have a collection

Chapter: 165 - HospitalAndrew’s POVMy hands start to quiver, the shakes spreading all the way down to the tips of my toes as I stare at the notes.The same swoosh at the letter ’S’. The same little circle that Melissa used to dot her letter ‘I’. My eyes swim when I try to see all the letters, vaguely wondering why and how I got to memorize every single detail of her handwriting. I never thought I paid that much attention, but here I am.And I’m just drinking it all in with a strange sensation in my chest….Almost like I’m longing for her.“Andrew,” Eleanor tries to say, and I lift my head to look at her. “Are you listening to me?”I don’t answer. I don’t even know how to answer. I keep staring at the notes and my heart just folds in on itself.This has to be the same handwriting….But how?Melissa is dead. Flora is a whole different person. Melissa would never be that glamorous. She will never be the type to chase fame like that, who will dress so elegantly and elaborately, the kind that will attract atten

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

Chapter: Chapter 3Elena’s POVThe words barely leave my mouth when Tristan grabs my arm again, squeezing hard as he leans in and looks me directly in the eyes.“Divorce?” Tristan echoes, scoffing. “Are you sure about that? Think about the consequences, Elena. It’s not just you and your pride on the line.”I don’t say anything. I just lock my gaze with his, wanting him to see the pain in my eyes. Wanting to see maybe just a twinge of sympathy or understanding from him. Anything. Just so I know that the love I have for him isn’t for nothing.But the only spark I see in his eyes is coldness and anger.Has it always been this way? I can’t help but ask myself. Has Tristan always hated me and I was just too blind to notice?I remember the first time we met.It was at my high school graduation party. Mira was there, and she kept giving me drinks to get me to loosen up.“You’re too uptight,” she told me then, laughing at me. “Just loosen up and have more drinks! You’re too young to be like this! Have fun!”I’

Chapter: Chapter 2Elena’s POVTristan’s senses have tunneled. Right now, nothing else in the world exists. Just Mira. I run down the stairs, my heart sinking deeper and deeper as I arrive at the dining room.“Mira!” Tristan gasps, sinking to his knees next to my sister.She’s breathing rapidly, her face red from the effort. Her hand is clutched around her throat as she looks at Tristan with tears in her eyes. “I… I think I’m having an allergic reaction to something in the soup.”The mood in the room shifts immediately.“It’s alright, I got you now,” Tristan whispers to her, rubbing her back and giving her water. Then, he turns to me. And it’s like being splashed with cold water. “Did you add nuts to the soup?” Tristan asks, his tone low and dangerous. The kind of dangerous that’s pretending to be calm. “Tell me, Elena!”“I-I didn’t!” I say in utter confusion. “But even if I did, Mira doesn’t have any allergies!”I rush over to Mira to ask her about it, but Tristan gets to his feet and blocks me, like

And that childhood sweetheart happens to be Mira.My sister.I’m used to my world revolving around Mira. After all, I’m an illegitimate child. So, when our father never gave me attention, I said nothing. When she got the toys and clothes and everything her heart desired, I considered it normal.But I never thought that after all these years, Mira can also come back and take my husband.The funny thing is, Mira refused to marry Tristan, even telling me to take her place. Tristan was the only thing that I was allowed to have.But now, I’m filled with all these whispers. These rumors that Mira’s baby is Tristan’s.“Is it true?” I took the courage to ask him once, before he left. “Mira’s baby is yours?”The look on his face was chilling as he turned to face me. “The baby isn’t mine. Never mention this again.”“But you’re always worried about her—”“She’s your sister, Elena,
