Chapter: 249 - EVER AFTER (Pandoras Pov) TWO YEARS LATER Evergreen was quiet in a way that felt earned. Not the brittle silence that followed violence, nor the careful hush people kept when they were afraid of being overheard, but the deep, breathing calm that settled over land at the end of a long day. Fields stretched wide beneath the lowering sun, cicadas threading sound through the air. The earth itself seemed to loosen, as if it had finally exhaled after holding its breath for too long. Pandora stood at the kitchen window and told herself this was enough. The farmhouse crouched low against the land, weathered and imperfect. Paint peeled along the edges where the wind worried at it year after year. One porch step dipped slightly on the left side. Ethan had fixed it last winter, hammering until his hands blistered, muttering apologies when it didn’t come out straight. It still held. So did he. Pandora wiped her hands on a cloth and leaned her hip against the counter, bone-tired in a way sleep never

Chapter: 248-FOREVERSophie nearly laughed as they slipped down the corridor.“Come on,” Xavier murmured, glancing over his shoulder like a mischievous boy instead of a king. “We’re going to be late.”“Late for what?” Sophie whispered back, clutching Kaon closer as he wriggled happily in her arms.Xavier’s mouth curved. “You’ll see.”They moved quickly, ducking through side passages and lesser-used doors, avoiding the main halls where they could avoid people they knew. No one would miss them. Not for a little while.They had almost made it to the outer arch when a familiar voice stopped them cold.“And just where do you think you two are sneaking off to?”Betsy stood with her hands on her hips, eyebrow arched, clearly having clocked them the moment they tried to slip past.Sophie bit her lip to keep from laughing.Xavier straightened, schooling his expression into something serious. “Important Wolf Nation business.”Betsy’s eyes flicked to Kaon, then back to Xavier. “Is that so?”“Very important,” Sophie

Chapter: 247-TWITCH(Magi’s Pov)Magi climbed the narrow spiral of the Mage Tower slowly, one hand resting against the stone wall as she ascended. The tower was old, older than most of the written histories, its steps worn shallow by centuries of careful feet. The air grew thinner the higher she went, not colder exactly, but charged, as though the tower itself listened. She had called the mages and Aurora away from the celebrations as they had a task to perform.She carried the stone wrapped in a simple cloth.Even concealed, it pulsed faintly, a steady warmth against her palm, patient and watchful.At the top, the chamber doors stood open.Fintan sat at the small round table near the window, pouring tea with deliberate care. Amara leaned back in her chair, eyes half-lidded in thought. Aurora stood near the balcony, gazing out across the Wolf Nation lands, sunlight catching in her hair.“You’re late,” Fintan said mildly.Magi smiled faintly. “Time has been strange since Wildbourne.”Aurora turned as Magi

Chapter: 246-SAFE FROM MONSTERSThe world was finally quiet.Not silent. Never silent. But softened, as though the land itself had exhaled after holding its breath for far too long.From the open window of their chambers, the sound of celebration drifted upward from the courtyards below. Music carried on warm air. Laughter rose and fell like waves. Voices were lifted not in command or fear, but in joy.The Wolf Nation was celebrating.Sophie sat on the edge of the bed, exhaustion heavy in her bones, watching Kaon lie in his cot nearby. He was awake, fists waving lazily, cooing as if narrating a private story only he understood. Every so often, he kicked one tiny foot against the blanket and looked immensely pleased with himself.She smiled despite herself.Xavier stood beside her, loosening the formal clasp at his collar. The king, the warrior, the Lycan, all of it had finally eased. What remained was simply the man she loved, looking as worn and human as she felt.She leaned into him, resting her head against his a

Chapter: 245-HAPPINESSThe great hall of the castle had never sounded so alive.Laughter bounced off the high ceilings. Music wound through the crowd like something warm and playful. Everywhere Ronan looked, wolves and former hunters stood shoulder to shoulder, drinking together, arguing good-naturedly, clapping one another on the back as though they had always belonged in the same room.After everything they had endured, it felt almost unreal.Shiloh walked beside him, her hand tucked firmly in his. She looked lighter tonight, as though some invisible weight had finally slipped from her shoulders.Her eyes moved across the room, bright with interest.“Oh look,” she said, tugging him gently to a stop. “There they are.”Ronan followed her gaze to one of the long tables near the far wall.Fintan sat deep in conversation with Ryder. Magi leaned close beside him, animated and smiling. Aurora laughed at something Kofi had said. Agatha and Betsy were already on their second round of drinks, both of them glowing w

Chapter: 244-GHOSTS OF THE PASTShiloh knew something was coming the moment Ronan took her hand.Not the easy way he usually did, playful and warm, but careful. Intentional. Like he was holding something fragile and dangerous at the same time.The throne room was still echoing with laughter and celebration behind them as they slipped out into a quieter corridor, leaving Sophie and Xavier wrapped in well-earned joy.Shiloh tried to smile up at him. “Are we escaping official duties already?”“Something like that,” Ronan said.There was a seriousness in his voice she didn’t often hear.They walked a little farther, away from the noise, away from the crowd, until the stone walls felt cooler and the air steadier.Ronan stopped.“We have someone in custody,” he said carefully. “Someone you might want to meet.”Shiloh blinked. “Another hunter?”“No.”His thumb brushed over her knuckles.“You can do this on your terms,” he went on. “There’s no rush. No pressure. But I wanted you to know the option is there.”Her chest tight

Chapter: 35-REMYRemy pinched herself as she entered Ethans home. It was exactly how she had imagined it to be.“Give me the grand tour,” she demanded. “I wanna see what a bachelor pad looks like up close.”He laughed.“Ok, but I don’t want you to be disappointed if it’s not what you might be expecting.”“How many bedrooms?”“Only five,” he smirked before saying, “ Alexa, play Stand by your man.”The song came on instantly.“Impressive,” said Remy. “All this for just you.”“Yeah, well, I did plan on having a big family at one stage, just never happened for me. Dirty Angels is my child now.”They walked to the living room and there owning most of the space, was a picture of a woman who looked to much like Marisol to ignore.A stab of jealousy pricked Remys chest.She walked to the picture, staring at it.“Was this your wife?” she asked innocently as if she was making polite chit chat.“Yeah,” said Ethan, changing the subject. “What do you want to drink?”“Anything,” said Remy, “What are you having?”“B

Chapter: 34-REMYRemy had stayed behind the bar, working, but watching that sly cunt Marisol. She wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of acting like her boss.There was only one man she would take orders from, and he was sitting at the bar, nursing a strong whiskey.She breathed a sigh of relief as she realized that Marisol was leaving for the night. Yeah, be a good bitch and fuck off, she thought to herself.The usual models and cool club guests began filing in. Dirty Angels was one of those places that never lost its vibe.Gangsters mingled with politicians, models, and actors, and influencers came here.Once that bitch moved out, left the club for the night, Remy moved in, circling her prey.She acted aloof, like she didn’t care, was making smalltalk, but every word Ethan spoke was filed away and noted. Remy was studying him.“Where's Victor tonight? I haven’t seen him.”“Working,” said Ethan, sounding bored.Remy nodded.“Need some company then.”Ethan looked up at her then.“I'm surrounded

Chapter: 33-REMYRemy drove without music.Silence suited her mood.Spotswood Cemetery sat on the edge of town, quiet and wind brushed, the kind of place people only visited when grief outweighed avoidance. She parked near the iron gates and sat in the car for a moment, staring at her reflection in the rear view mirror.Her eyeliner was smudged.She didn’t fix it.The cemetery had become the only place she could find something that resembled comfort. Not answers, she had stopped expecting those, but closeness. The illusion of being near her mother again.It was hard talking to someone who had been dead for four years.Harder still, knowing she’d never heard everything she needed to hear.Her mother had been gone just six weeks after the diagnosis. The bad kind of cancer. The fast kind. The kind that didn’t give you time to process, let alone prepare.Remy had been seventeen.Seventeen and furious at the world.Seventeen and giving her mother hell for breathing too loudly.She stepped out of the car an

Chapter: 32-REMYDennis lifted his phone again.“Blaze, get back here, we need your help.”“We?” said Remy, “I thought you’d finished? Little head gone to sleep?”“Yeah, but he might wake up.”“And what if your girl comes raging in? What then?”Dboy smiled, “When have I ever let anyone hurt you, Remy? She’s at least half an hour away. We got time.”You only let yourself hurt me, she thought to herself.The door opened, and Blaze entered.His eyes surveyed the scene, taking in Remys breasts that were still bare and her skirt hitched up.“Oh shit, I hope you need help with what I think you do,” he said, drinking in Remy.“Finish her off, Blaze. She needs help,” said Dennis, his eyes never leaving mine.“Blaze, it's your lucky day, I’m toey as hell, come get some love,” I coaxed him.Blaze was a little over six feet, with a strong jawline, chocolate skin, heavily tattooed, and blue eyes. I had never gone there with him because Dennis was his friend.It didn’t mean we hadn’t thought about it, and this rig

Chapter: 31-REMYThe old pool hall was a dive, full of lowlifes, thieves, and small time gangsters. The one place Remy had tried to escape, but her anger had brought her back, back to a place she didn’t ever want to be.Marisol, the rich bitch who thought she could walk into Dirty Angels and tell her what to do, take what was hers. She didn’t trust her around Ethan, not one bit, and if she crossed Remy again, Remy would show her who she really was.Looking around, she spotted some of the homeboys.“Hey Blaze, what's good? Have you seen Dboy around?”“Hey Remy, he'll be in after a while, heard you all fancy now? Working on the rich side of town. We ain't never see you here anymore.”“Yeah, well, I’m always working, no time to kick it.”“Still slanging that putang? I bet you’re making some good money.”“Not really, I’m trying to be a better person now, Blaze. I did what I had to do to survive, ya know.”“Well, I’m broke, but if you ever give out freebies, let me know.”“I’ll buy you a beer, that’s the o

Chapter: 30-MARISOL“What’s your lawyer’s name again?” Marisol asked, leaning against the bar as she watched Ethan scroll through his phone. “I’ll let you call him and tell him about Enzo.”“I’m not your secretary, sweetheart, in case you haven’t noticed,” Ethan replied without looking up. His deliberate use of the endearment was pointed, and they both knew it.“Isn’t he your lawyer too?” she shot back. “Don’t you three have some cosy little arrangement going on? I haven’t forgotten how you tried to edge me out of this place. I’m just lucky Lorenzo warned me.”Ethan finally glanced up, one brow arched.“He’s your boyfriend. You call.”Marisol glared at him.“You are infuriating, you know that?”Ethan only grinned, entirely too pleased with himself.She was about to continue the argument when her phone buzzed again. The name on the screen made her stomach drop.“Marvin, hi.”“I prefer it when you call me Daddy.”Heat rushed to her face instantly, made worse by Ethan standing right there within earshot.“I
