FRAUD WAS EXPOSED.ANNE'S POVThe moment Maxwell asked the question—Which member?—the entire surveillance room felt as if it stopped breathing.The lead forensic expert looked at me, then at Maxwell, then back at the fingerprint scanner as though hoping the machine would magically change its results.“It belongs to…” His voice thinned. “…a woman.”My heartbeat tightened. Only two women sat on the board—Mira and Zainab.“Who exactly?” I asked.The expert exhaled slowly, as if releasing something heavy.“Madam Anne… the fingerprint matches Zainab Omotosho.”The room fell into a thick, suffocating hush.Maxwell’s eyes flicked sharply to me, then back to the screen Not disbelief—shock.Confusion. A hint of suspicion he didn’t want to feel. I felt the tension coil around him.Zainab was known as the “conscience” of the board. Or so everyone said. But fingerprints didn’t lie.A few minutes later, word travelled faster than fire.Zainab burst into the surveillance room even before I sent for

THE INVESTIGATION MAXWELL POV“It would rather rebuild the company,” I said quickly, my voice sharper than intended, my gaze locked on Hale. “And expose the evil workers who want to milk the company dry, leaving it miserable and bankrupt.”The room fell into a cold, brittle silence.Hale’s jaw flexed. Mira wouldn’t look at me. Collins rubbed his temples as though praying the roof would cave in and end this nightmare.But the document lay between us—a single sheet that now carried the weight of an entire corporation’s survival.The majority had signed. The induction of an external legal analyst was authorized.Whether Joe stormed out, or Hale burned with fury, the decision was sealed.Yet something in me kept replaying Joe’s exit. The violent coughing. The sudden panic in his eyes. The way he sprinted out like he’d seen a ghost.No… He wasn’t sick. I knew it. Everyone knew it. He was running from the decision.Or worse…Running from what the investigation would reveal.Minutes later,

BRINGING ANNE INMAXWELL POV.The call came the second I stepped out of Anne’s apartment.My hand had just released the doorknob when my phone buzzed violently in my pocket—an urgent vibration that sent a ripple of dread through my spine.I answered before the second ring.“Hello?”“Sir—Maxwell—thank God you picked.” It was my secretary, Tilda. Her voice was breathless, shaky in a way I had only heard once before—when the first set of funds went missing.“What is it?” I demanded.“It’s the investigation,” she blurted. “The security agencies… they said they can’t proceed.”I stopped walking. My steps froze mid-air.“Can’t proceed?” My voice lowered to a dangerous calm. “What did they say exactly?”“They said the trail… doesn’t make sense,” she replied. “They said it’s either internal sabotage so well covered that they can’t decode it—or someone inside is deliberately obstructing them.”My jaw tightened. “Someone inside?”“Yes, sir.” She swallowed audibly over the line. “Someone with hi

REAL IDENTITY Anne's POV.The air in the room tightened, thick enough to chew through. Maxwell’s eyes were fixed on me—steady, searching—while the woman’s face held a careful mixture of worry and confusion.My sigh still hung in the space between us, trembling like a secret fighting to stay buried. But secrets never stay buried forever.I swallowed hard. “I… should tell you,” I whispered.The woman stepped closer, her hands folding gently, as if bracing herself. “Go on, Anne,” she urged softly. “Whatever it is… just say it.”Maxwell didn’t speak, but the slight incline of his head told me he was listening for every detail. I pulled in a breath. And finally—finally—I began.“It wasn’t always like this,” I murmured. “Me working in a restaurant… hiding who I was… pretending everything was fine.”My fingers twisted into the blanket, knuckles whitening.“I studied law. I was supposed to be someone. I had dreams. Ambitions. A future that actually made sense.” My voice cracked. “But I threw

SHE DISCOVERED MY IDENTITY.Anne's POV.The door swung open with a burst of hurried footsteps, Her breath came in short, panicked bursts, her hair slightly disheveled as though she had run the whole way here. Her eyes swept wildly around the room—searching, desperate—until they landed on me.“Anne?” Her voice cracked in the middle, both fearful and hopeful. “Oh, thank God—Anne!”It was Mrs. Halima, the woman who had hired me at the restaurant… the woman in whose restaurant I had collapsed. Her hands trembled as she pressed them over her chest, her relief slowly softening the tight lines around her eyes.“I thought—” She swallowed, shaking her head. “They told me there was a power issue. I—I panicked. I thought something happened to you again.”I locked my gaze on her and whispered, “Not at all.” I shook my head in rejection of her thought of bad things happening to me. My voice came out weak despite my effort to sound firm.Maxwell moved aside respectfully to give her space. Harris, w

REVEALING HER LEGAL GENIUS.Anne’s POVThe silence that followed Maxwell outburst was suffocating.The tall man’s eyes gleamed under the fluorescent light, sharp and unreadable. The door clicked shut behind him, the sound echoing through the room like a verdict. I could feel Maxwell’s tension — the way his body stiffened beside me, his fists clenching at his sides. The doctor had gone still too, his hand frozen midair above my pulse monitor.The man took a slow, deliberate step toward us. “Now,” he said, his voice calm but thick with something unreadable, “why don’t you both tell me what you’re doing here?”My heart was hammered. Maxwell shifted closer to me, shielding me subtly.“Who are you?” he demanded, his tone clipped, controlled.The stranger tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. Then, to my utter shock—he chuckled.“Relax, Mr. Maxwell,” he said lightly, as if nothing was wrong. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”I blinked, confusion replacing fear. Max

Shoulder to lean on.Milo’s POVThe forest was quiet that night—too quiet for a world still spinning. The moon hung heavy above the treetops, its pale light spilling like liquid silver over the creek. I had been tracking her scent for a while now—sharp with salt and sorrow, tainted by rejection. It wasn’t the first time I’d followed the trail of a broken wolf. But this one… this scent was different. It pulsed with something raw. Something powerful buried beneath the pain.I found her there, by the edge of the water. Knees pressed into the dirt. Shoulders trembling. The sound of her sobs tore through the silence and something inside me tightened.“Lena…” I called softly.Her head snapped up. Eyes wide, glistening with tears. Fear and confusion flickered across her face as she looked around.“Who’s there?” she whispered, her voice shaking like the last leaf in a storm.I stepped out from the shadows slowly, letting the moonlight hit me. Her eyes widened more when she recognized me—thos

College Embarrassment Lena’s POV “I… I’m sorry…” I stammered, my voice strangled, barely audible through the pressure on my throat. My mother’s fingers dug into my skin, cutting off my air until black spots dotted my vision. Her grip loosened slightly, and I gasped, desperate for breath. She shoved me hard, fury blazing in her eyes. “Sorry for yourself, wolfless brat!” she spat, her words like venom that burned through my heart. I staggered backward, almost losing my balance, but managed to steady myself. My throat throbbed painfully, my voice caught between sobs and silence. I looked at her—this woman who gave me life but looked at me like I was a plague. There was no warmth in her eyes. Only disgust. “Get out of my sight,” she said coldly. “Before your curse spreads to the rest of us.” Her words sliced deep, leaving me breathless. I turned and walked out quietly, my body trembling, my soul crushed. Skylar stood by the doorway, arms crossed, glaring at me with pure disdain

Cold Treatment. Lena’s POV “Ouch!” I groaned in pain as my knees hit the cold, jagged floor of the cave. The echo of my fall bounced off the stone walls, blending with the howling wind outside. I could feel the rejection seeping through every inch of my body—like a poison running wild through my veins, burning, shredding, destroying. My wolf whimpered deep inside, a sound of agony and loss that made my heart twist painfully. I forced my trembling hands against the floor, trying to push myself up. My fingers slipped on the damp surface, and I collapsed again. Tears welled up, hot and blinding, but I swallowed them back. No. I refused to give in. I refused to let him see me broken. He stood there, motionless. Kade. My mate. My curse. His expression was void—cold, almost detached—as if what he’d just done was nothing more than a meaningless chore. No remorse. No hesitation. No sympathy. The pain in my chest intensified as our bond snapped completely. My wolf howled in ang

RejectedLena’s POVTears gathered at the corners of my eyes as I watched the others around me find their mates, one after the other. The joy on their faces only deepened the ache in my chest.Why hasn’t anyone come to me?For a moment, I truly believed I was the only one left unchosen. Then it happened. A ripple of light shimmered from the blood-red moon, and an image formed on its glowing surface, his face.Kade. I gasped. It was real.The Mate Bond wasn’t just a fantasy. It wasn’t something I had imagined or desperately hoped into existence. The moon had spoken and it had spoken his name.Kade Marlowe was my destined mate.My heart surged in my chest as I frantically searched the crowd, expecting to see him coming toward me. Surely, he must have seen it too. He must have felt the same magnetic pull, the same overwhelming gravity I did.But he didn’t come. Instead, I saw him. Across the clearing, near the ceremonial stones, Kade stood beside a brown-furred wolf. He leaned down and n

The Night of the Red MoonLena’s POVThis evening it was going to happen. The one night I had been waiting for as far back as anyone could remember.The Red Moon was heavy in the sky, a dull, and silvery moon, for now but I knew it wouldn’t stay that way. Soon it would glow crimson, and everything would change.Maybe… so would I.I looked up in the mirror teasing out the silk red material of my dress. All the she-wolves that are un-mated in our pack wear red to pay their honour to the goddess and offer themselves to fate. It was our way of saying: Here I am. I'm ready.And I was. I had never ever been more all set.I dressed my hair down with my natural being a waterfall around my shoulders. A bit of makeup, just enough to make my dark eyes and deep red lips shine. Not for attention. Not for the boys in the pack. I did it for me. And for him, whoever he was.At one time, I believed it would be Kade.But after the past few weeks… after that kiss with Camilla, after that cruel dare. I d

The DareLena’s POVI did not know how to breathe for a moment.This was what Kade had said to me; and it rang in my ears like a bell in the empty house, “I love you.’ My heart didn’t know how to believe it. My body stood still, waiting for the truth to shift, waiting for the moment to break or bloom.“What… what are you saying, Kade?” I asked, blinking hard, afraid I had imagined it.He leaned closer. “Lena, please. Just tell me you love me too.”He even lowered his voice, as he did not want anyone to listen.My lips opened and I could not hold the words back, too much, too right. “Yes. Kade, I love you. I always have.”He smiled gently. We both nodded, like we were sealing a promise in silence. But inside, something didn’t feel right. It was strange. I’d waited so long for this moment, imagined it, begged the stars for it and now that it was here… it didn’t feel warm. It felt like standing in a dream with one foot sinking into cold water.Yes, I tried to set my doubts aside. I put o
