Chapter: HiddenEvangeline’s POV The second I got to my feet, my legs didn’t carry me-they flew. I didn’t know how I managed to push myself forward, how I didn’t trip again, how I didn’t scream. The walls blurred. I didn’t know this part of the fortress. It was endless halls with heavy doors, and my heart, God, my heart was choking me. I couldn’t breathe. Kaia. Kaia. She had looked right at me. And him. Draven. Her body had been bent, helpless. His voice still clung to the back of my skull like a splinter. “Pleasure me, now. I didn’t bring you here to hesitate.” The cruel edge of it. The low, commanding tone. And Kaia… the way she had obeyed without looking him in the eyes. No. No no no. I turned sharply into another corridor, my chest on fire. A door ahead was slightly ajar. The only light in the entire passage spilled through that crack. I didn’t think. I just ran inside, my breath torn and ragged. The moment I crossed the threshold, I froze. Damien was there. He stood before a tall man

Chapter: Devastating revelationEvangeline's POV Something didn't right. Even as Kaia had left my room, even as the door clicked shut with gentle finality, I couldn’t stop thinking about the look in her eyes, the fear, the uncertainty… the guilt. And the way she couldn’t answer me. What was she hiding? I stared at the door for a long time after she left, biting my lip, torn between giving her space or doing something I hadn’t done in a long time, following my instincts. Eventually, the silence grew too loud. My breath trembled through the quiet as I rose slowly from the bed. I reached for the door, cracked it open as silently as I could, and peeked out into the hallway. The corridor was dim, lit only by the wall lights placed evenly along the walls. It was empty. But Kaia hadn’t gotten far. Her silhouette was visible at the far end of the hall, moving softly, her small frame gliding like she had memorized every corner of this fortress. I stepped into the hallway, closing the door gently behind me. My bare fee

Chapter: Didn't know it was this badEvangeline’s POV My stomach growled despite the twist of anxiety. Kaia gave me a soft smile. “The Alpha said you must eat. You haven’t since morning.” She said, ignoring my question and changing the subject. Perhaps it wasn't the time to ask her questions like this. I blinked. It really was evening. I could tell from the fading glow against the tall windows. “Thank you,” I said and reached out to take the plate. Kaia stepped back, folding her hands, her gaze lowered. Always gentle, always silent. “Have you eaten?” I asked her suddenly, my voice softer than I expected. She looked up, surprised. “It’s not important, my lady.” “Kaia,” I said, giving her a small, tired smile. “Please. Sit. Eat with me” “I’m not allowed to—” “You’re with me. And I’m asking you to.” I scooted over and motioned for her to take the seat beside me. There was a pause. A brief flicker of hesitation in her eyes before she gave the smallest of nods and lowered herself beside me. She picked at the

Chapter: The Three Hot BrothersEvangeline’s POVThe door opened before I could brace myself. My heart thudded in my chest like an alarm. Three men stood framed in the doorway, a striking presence that sent warmth and fear running through me. They were tall, impossibly handsome, and carried the air of ancient royalty. The first man caught my breath first: dark eyes, an unwavering gaze that seemed to see too much. The second person's hair glistened gold against the lights, quieter but no less intense. The third built like hewn granite leaned as if every muscle dripped purpose. When the door shut behind them, the world shrank. Three pairs of eyes met mine, and I froze. They’re wolves, I thought, as if that explained everything. They stepped inside with a grace that was disconcerting––together but separate, in sync yet wholly distinct. Each placed himself a respectful distance away, surrounding me without walls to lean on. The one who first spoke sat on the edge of a chair, posture precise. His voice, when it

Chapter: A new world To AdjustEvangeline's POV The door clicked softly behind him, and for a second, I held my breath. I waited, ears straining for footsteps to fade down the corridor before I finally let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. My legs gave way beneath me and I slumped onto the bed, pressing a hand to my chest. I hated him. I hated Damien Hunter more than I’d ever hated anyone in my entire life. And yet, the way my heart betrayed me each time he was near… the way my body reacted when he stood too close, when his voice dipped low and cold, when his eyes locked onto mine as though I belonged to him… I couldn’t explain it. “God,” I whispered, my voice shaking, “what the hell is happening to me?” The bed creaked beneath my weight as I shifted, curling in on myself like I could protect whatever was slowly breaking inside me. The air was thick with his scent, wild and foreign, dark and unrelenting. It clung to the room, to my clothes, to my skin. I wanted to scrub it off, peel every

Chapter: RhetoricalDamien's POV “You’re acting like fools,” I said finally, seeing them go silent at my question. “No,” Draven said, voice dipping low, “we’re acting like brothers who don’t want to bury you in six months when your system collapses from starvation so we're especially interested in anything that concerns you.” Their concern was irritating. Their loyalty even more so. But the thing that truly made my jaw tighten wasn’t what they said, it was what they didn’t. I tilted my head slightly. “ So will you now tell me something… How did you all know about my mate even before today’s meeting?” They went still. Draven scratched his brow. Nir looked away. Nachos fidgeted with the edge of his sleeve. I stood slowly. My voice came out low and deadly. “It was Elias, wasn’t it?” Their silence was the loudest confirmation I could’ve gotten. “Unbelievable,” I muttered, already reaching for my phone. “That damned old man.” By the time I looked up again, all three of them had vanishe

Claimed By My Ex-husband's Brother.
“Dominic—” I breathed, trying to push him away, but he was stronger.
His arms closed around me like a vise, and before I could stop him, his mouth found the curve of my neck.
Soft. Demanding. Devastating.
I gasped, the fight bleeding out of me as his lips grazed the sensitive skin of my neck just below my ear, sending molten shivers down my spine.
“Don’t fight me, Selene,” he murmured against my skin.
“You don’t have to fight me.”
My hands trembled where they clutched his shirt.
Oh God, Oh God.
***

Chapter: 046Selene's POV The knock barely registered before the door creaked open, slow and deliberate, like the world knew I didn’t need another surprise, but was offering me one anyway. And then there he was. Emiliano Vieri. He stood framed in the doorway like some living contradiction charming and out of place, yet somehow blending perfectly into the chaos that was my life lately. His dark hair was tousled, his gray coat casually thrown over a crisp shirt, collar slightly upturned from the breeze. But it was his eyes steel and unflinching that held me in place. My lips parted slightly. “What—! How... how did you know where I live?” He didn’t look guilty. If anything, he looked amused. “I didn’t,” he said with a low chuckle, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. “I live in the estate across the block. I was just on my way back from the grocer’s when I saw you and your friend walking in this direction. Didn’t know it was your place.” My brain scrambled for logic. Coincid

Chapter: 045Selene’s POV The walk home felt longer than it should have. Rachel kept stealing glances at me, and I knew what was coming before her lips even parted. “So,” she began carefully, “are you going to tell me who she was? That woman?” I didn’t answer immediately. My fingers were cold, even though the afternoon sun still lingered on the street. “Selene,” Rachel pressed, matching her pace to meet mine. “Was she someone from you know before?” Before. That word held too much. Before the scars. Before I remembered what it meant to fight for air in your own life, in your own home. “She was...a friend,” I said eventually. Rachel frowned. “A friend who looked like she wanted to eat you alive and then hug you at the same time?” I gave a dry laugh. “You’re not far off.” We passed the corner florist, the scent of lavender and soil rushing out toward us. A delivery van rumbled by, honking once as it dodged a cyclist. “She was involved with my Ex-husband,” I finally said, watching a

Chapter: 044Selene’s POV“Rachel I can't tell anything for now,” I said as we rounded the next block, “you don’t have to worry. Everything will be fine.”It felt like a lie, because it was. Nothing ever really stayed fine in my world. But sometimes, when your friend looks at you with fear swimming behind her eyes, you have to lie beautifully.She smiled faintly, nodding. “Okay. I trust you.”I didn’t trust myself.We stopped in front of a small bakery, its window fogged slightly from the warmth inside. It smelled like cinnamon buns and almond tarts and soft crusted loaves, and for a moment, it was easy to pretend we were just two normal girls. Just two women on a stroll, browsing for sweets, not caught in the orbit of cold-eyed men.Rachel pushed the door open, the bell above tinkling softly, and we stepped inside.Then my blood turned cold. There, standing by the display case like she belonged in my memory and not this reality, was Lina.Lina.My ex-best friend. My ex-husband’s mistress. His con

Chapter: 043Selene's POV My next words fell like bricks. “He’s Dominic’s personal bodyguard. His right hand man, he's been for years.” "I can't believe it, you mean Enzo?" she murmured, her voice barely audible. "Enzo... Dominic's right-hand man Sel?." I looked up, meeting her eyes. "You had no idea?" She shook her head, her expression a mix of shock and confusion. "I just thought he was some mysterious guy I met, he was always so reserved, but there was something about him I can't place my hands on... Rachel went white. “What?” I nodded slowly, leaning back into myself. “He's always around Dominic, his tight man. Yesterday too, he’s always close but never speaks unless he has to. Completely loyal. The kind of man who could kill a person with a single command from his boss.” She sank beside me. “You’re joking.” “I am not Rachel.” Rachel went quiet, staring at her hand like it had betrayed her. “He didn’t seem like... that.” “They never do trust me, I don't even want you to get

Chapter: 042Selene's POVYou didn’t tell me you’d be working with Emiliano Vieri."Dominic’s voice cut through the cabin like a wire, cold and controlled.I leaned back, gripping the smoothie in my hand tighter. “That’s because I’m not.”His gaze didn’t waver. “He offered you a card, you took it, I watched it happen.”Rachel shifted beside me, clearly trying not to draw attention to herself. The silence between us thickened, stretching too long, and I finally looked him in the eye.“And I didn’t accept his offer.”Dominic’s jaw flexed once. He didn’t blink. “Good.”Then came the shift, the one I hated. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes like a sharp knife, pressing in.on me. “But we still need to talk about the deal. The marriage.”Rachel’s sharp inhale was loud in the cabin. “Wait—what?”I didn’t look at her. My eyes stayed on him. “My answer hasn’t changed, Dominic.”He paused. A slow blink from him, maybe wondering my firmness on my decision.“Still no,” I added. “Even if your father’s brea

Chapter: 041Selene’s POV I didn’t have time to process much. I threw on my black jeans, a clean blouse, and a soft cream blazer. No makeup. Not a single stroke. I didn’t care how I looked. I just needed air and maybe a sense that my life was mine again. The car that picked us up was already waiting at the corner. Rachel stayed close, practically glued to my side as if she thought I might disappear again. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I felt exactly the same. By the time we arrived at the media house, I wasn’t ready for what waited. The second I stepped out of the car, the chaos hit me. There was flashing lights, shouts and journalists. A crowd of cameras and reporters surging forward like they’d been lying in wait just for me. “Selene! Over here!” Rachel said, trying to help me weave in through the crowd. “Are you the official face of the Youth Conference?” “Miss Selene, are you currently in a relationship?” “How does it feel to be a public figure overnight?” “Is it true yo

Chapter: Lead outValentina's POVMy breath caught the moment Ryker stepped into the room.He didn’t speak at first. His shoes echoed softly across the polished floors. His presence was impossibly large. It bent the space around him, made everything else feel small, even the golden chandelier that shimmered above me or the lights burning low on ornate sconces.I couldn’t look away and then he stopped right in front of me.The space between us felt as if it had collapsed, I didn’t dare move. My pulse stuttered, and my fingers trembled, gripping the soft folds of the pale gown they'd forced me into earlier.He squatted slowly. Not like a man offering himself to her, no. He moved like a predator lowering itself to inspect a captured thing. Then he smiled coldly. That smile didn’t reach his eyes. His gaze held the temperature of glaciers, and yet it burned something inside me. “You look,” he murmured, his voice like velvet drawn over steel, “like you’ve seen a ghost.” My mouth opened before I meant i

Chapter: Cruel EngagementValentina's POV The needle gleamed under the dim light like it had been forged for one purpose mine body. His fingers, steady and pale, hovered near my skin, and the air between us turned razor thin. “Hold still,” Ryker said, his voice low, his eyes never leaving mine. My heart pounded so loudly it drowned out every other sound. My mouth opened, but no words came. Just breath shallow, broken, terrified. He stepped closer, so close I could smell the sharp tang of metal, the faint scent of his skin beneath the faintest whiff of smoke. His hand reached up, brushing a strand of hair from my face with surprising gentleness. The contrast startled me more than the needle. “You won’t forget me,” he murmured, “even if you try.” But before the needle could pierce my skin, his expression shifted. His eyes turned distant, like something cold had cut through his concentration. His hand froze midair. Then, like a snap of lightning through a silent night, his jaw clenched and his eyes

Chapter: EngravingValentina’s POV The moment he entered me, it felt like my body split apart. No warning. No pause. No voice in the dark to say, now, just the violent stretch of something too big, his cock too fast, too cold. I screamed before I even knew what I was screaming for. Pain ripped through me like fire licking bone. I clawed at the sheets, my nails tearing through the fabric, but there was no escaping it. No escaping him. He didn’t speak, not a single word. He groaned low, not in pleasure, no, it sounded like satisfaction. Ownership. He thrust again, harder, like he was trying to shove me through the bedframe, and my cries died in the sheets. I wasn’t prepared. Nothing about me was ready for this. My body, my mind, none of it had caught up to the reality of what was happening. I gasped between sobs, “Please—” His hand gripped the back of my neck, forcing my face into the sheets. “Don’t speak.” That voice, flat, merciless, sliced through the air. He didn’t shout. He didn’t need

Chapter: Thrust By Thrust.Valentina’s POV As soon as the words left her lips, the door swung open, and a man stepped inside. "Get up. I'll take you to him," he said, his tone calm yet deliberate. I recognized him immediately. He was the Beta, the one who had given me that pale, tasteless bread earlier. I stood, my body stiff with both fear and anticipation. Without a word, he fell in step beside me, his presence almost suffocating as we walked down the hallway. Neither of us spoke, the silence between us growing heavy with every passing second. When we arrived, he turned to me, his expression unreadable. "Open it and go in," he said, and without another word, he turned and walked away. My hand hovered over the door handle, a lump forming in my throat. I could already feel dread crawling under my skin, twisting my insides into knots. There were only two fates waiting for me behind this door: I could either walk out half-dead, or I could walk out dead. With trembling hands, I pushed the door open and s

Chapter: PreparedValentina POV Hours passed since Ryker had left after saying those cruel words to me, feeling broken and breathless, a storm of emotions I didn’t dare name bleeding under my skin. I was still here, my body sore, my mind spinning like I was about to go crazy. What did he want from me? Yes, I was a traitor's daughter but shouldn't he outrightly kill me? He hadn't touched me the way the guards threatened but he’d gripped my face like it belonged to him. He’d stared into me like he would slit me raw before he left without doing any other thing. The sound of keys scraping against the lock jolted me upright. My body stiffened as the door creaked open again and heavy boots echoed against the stone floor. Five women stepped in, not guards, but servants, dressed in simple black uniforms, their eyes low and faces blank. They moved in formation like they’d done this a thousand times. “W-what…?” My voice was hoarse in confusion, barely more than a whisper. “What do you want?” None of the

Chapter: Speaking crueltyValentina POV His eyes sparked at my words. “That’s the difference between us, Valentina” He turned away, the door closing behind him with a cruel click. “You don’t get to choose even your fate” The silence in the room was loud as he left. I sat on the edge of the mattress, my spine straight, my hands in my lap, staring at the closed door like it might spring open any moment, like he might return as if I want him to. My cheeks still burned from where his hand had brushed it. How could someone be so composed in cruelty? So beautiful and terrifying all at once? No! Don’t go there. That’s how they win. I curled my arms around my legs and rested my chin on my knees. The collar-chain pressed against my throat when I swallowed. I couldn't cry, not because I wasn’t breaking but because tears would make me feel like the little girl I used to be and she died a long time ago, that part of me is buried. She died the night my parents were slaughtered. I closed my eyes. The image was blu
