Chapter: ONE QUEEN BEE WASN'T ENOUGHChapter 13Aria – POVImmediately I got dressed, I walked to the door, looked at him one more time, snickered loudly before opening it. That smug bastard didn’t even flinch. Just laid there like a broken statue. Serves him right. I hoped his ego stung more than his cheek.The corridor was eerily quiet. I stepped out, heels clicking softly against the marble. I darted my eyes around, heart hammering like a drum in my chest. My dress clung to me like a second skin and I adjusted the neckline—it felt like everyone could see what almost happened upstairs.“He almost raped me,” I muttered under my breath. My voice trembled. “Asshole of an Alpha…”Then—bam!I walked smack into someone. My shoulder collided hard into another body, and pain exploded down my arm like a lightning bolt. I stumbled back a step, blinking.“What the hell is this?!” the person barked, voice sharp, high, and unfamiliar.I snapped my head up, eyes widening as they landed on a stranger—no, not just a stranger. This wom

Chapter: AN EX THAT REFUSES TO MOVE ON Chapter 12Vanessa’s POVThe walk down the stairs with Daniel was a test of my patience. Every step felt like walking on shattered glass—uncomfortable, prickly, and impossible to ignore. I’d never liked him, and the thought of that stranger flashed again in my mind like a bad nightmare on loop. Kael is not the kind of alpha you mess with. So how in hell did he give that bitch the audacity to flaunt herself in his space like she owned the place?My fist tightened involuntarily, nails digging into my palm.When we finally reached the living room, my gaze drifted around until it landed on the large portrait hanging proudly on the wall. Alpha Kael. He looked like a god—chiseled jaw, sharp eyes that could freeze fire, the kind of man who seemed carved from legend. My fingers itched to touch it.I moved slowly to the edge of the room, almost reverently, and traced my finger lightly along his jawline, from the sharp chin to those hypnotic eyes.“He looks like a god,” I whispered, my voice th

Chapter: HER NAME IS VANESSA Chapter 11Aria povI looked at her suspiciously, brows furrowed, my posture stiff. A sly smile curled on her lips as she sank into my couch like she owned the place. My arms crossed tightly over my chest."I hate riddles. I never get them right," I muttered, tugging off my hairband, fingers slowly combing through my strands. She ignored me, tapping her nails rhythmically against the armrest, eyes locked onto the fabric like she was reading secrets in the seams."Well, I'm not here for riddles either," she said coolly. "I'm not a ghost. And I'm definitely not some lowlife like you. I value my space, my peace, and most importantly—my property."Property?Confusion twisted through me.Her tone was laced with venom, her eyes sharp, accusing. "What I don't get," she continued, voice rising slightly, "is how you managed to crawl your way into my space."I blinked, trying to decode her meaning. Was she serious?Snapping out of the daze, I tossed the hairband onto the bed and walked toward

Chapter: The Voice Behind the CurtainChapter 10 Aria's POVThe doorknob clicked behind me with a soft finality, sealing the heat inside. I rolled my eyes as sweat traced the curve of my spine beneath my blouse. Of course, the room felt like an oven. No surprise there. This pack house couldn’t regulate temperature if its life depended on it.I slipped off my heels one after the other with my toes, letting them clatter to the floor. The echo felt too sharp, too hollow. Something was…off. I took a step forward, squinting into the semi-darkness. The creamy curtains I know I left open earlier were now drawn shut, swallowing the moonlight I had counted on to air the place out.My brows pulled together. I knew I’d opened the window. Wide, even. I remember pausing before the meeting, taking in the crisp air and the quiet sound of leaves brushing each other like secrets passed in the breeze.But now it was shut. Drapes to the floor like a final curtain call.A sigh slipped from my lips, partly annoyed, partly… unsettled. My bare

Chapter: Chapter 9Chapter 9Kael povAfter exiting her room, she trailed behind, dressed in a short gown that gave her a rugged appearance. "Hurry up, we're late for the pack meeting. It's a community business gathering, so please don't waste my time with your slow pace."As I hurried along, my suit billowing in the breeze from the open window, I noticed the absence of footsteps behind me. I paused and glanced back, my expression turning sour, but I quickly softened. To my dismay, she had fallen to the ground in her heels, clearly struggling to walk in them. "What on earth is happening?" I asked, exhaling deeply. She sat on the floor, her ankle twisted by the heel, not even bothering to look up as she attempted to adjust it. I approached her slowly, matching my energy to the situation; it was frustrating that she was causing me stress so early in the day. When I reached her side, she lifted her gaze to meet mine, her eyes heavy with embarrassment. "I apologize," she said.“My dress is too short, and

Chapter: FANCY SECRETARY Chapter 8Aria povI stood hesitantly at my door, my fingers nervously rubbing the cool metal knob as I contemplated how to muster the courage to turn it. Today marked my first official day as his secretary, a role I had both anticipated and dreaded. Drawing a deep breath, I gently swept my hair back behind my shoulders, trying to project a sense of calm. Clad in a sleek black gown that hugged my silhouette, a daring slit ran up the back, leaving me feeling both elegant and anxious. The long sleeves offered a touch of modesty, yet the overall ensemble was undeniably bold. I couldn't shake the nagging doubts swirling in my mind. What if he didn't approve of my appearance? What if today turned out to be one of his notoriously bad days, leaving me vulnerable to his wrath?As I wrestled with my thoughts, a sudden, sharp knock echoed through the hallway, jolting me from my reverie. I paused, the silence wrapping around me before that distinctive knock came again—more forceful this time, s

Chapter: chapter 8Chapter 8Barry – POV“Should I say, you messed up? Or how am I going to place it, you really did mess up, Camile!”I shouted, my hand on the glass tightened, my eyes heavy with anger that had reddened my eyes.I was seated on the stool at the bar section in our house, my heart raced with anticipation as I glared at the liquor in my glass. The liquid shimmered under the pendant light like it held all the wrong choices I had made.“Camile, have you been listening?” I turned to her.She was sitting on the arm of the couch, her legs crossed lazily, mindlessly scrolling through her phone like we weren’t in the middle of a goddamn storm.I sighed heavily, dropping down from the stool sluggishly. The thought of how I met my ex-wife with another man wouldn’t leave my head. It played on a loop, over and over. Her laugh. Her eyes sparkling. The way she leaned into him like he was the gravity pulling her in.She even had the nerve to kiss him—in public. Around people. Like I never existed.Like

Chapter: SAPPHIRE IS HER NAME Chapter 7Alina povI didn’t say a word as we pulled up in front of the towering glass building. Dante’s so-called "surprise penthouse review" had my brain reeling, but hell would freeze over before I let him see that. My jaw nearly unhinged at the sheer size and sleekness of the place. The sky reflected off the high-rise like a mirror, and I had to blink twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.Of course it would be this grand. This is Dante we’re talking about.But no, I wouldn’t let the shock show on my face. I straightened my back, tilted my chin slightly upward, and tucked the awe somewhere behind my ribcage.We reached the penthouse entrance minutes later, and my eyes darted around, trying to take in every bit of the surrounding luxury. A smile teased the edge of my lips the moment I caught sight of the swimming pool—a shimmering grey pool, not the cliché blue. Strange. Unnerving. Elegant.But then something froze me.Just beneath the surface of the pool’s calm, grey sheen, I

Chapter: A KEY TO MY WORLD Chapter 6Dante povThe silence between us was thick, and I could feel her eyes burning into the side of my face. I could see the way she wanted to speak—her mouth twitched, and her thoughts were like a parade of unwelcome questions. But I wasn’t in the mood for her probing today. I was still trying to shake off the unease that settled in my chest after seeing her earlier. Something in her expression, something in her silence had stirred a part of me I wasn’t ready to confront.I turned my eyes back to the window, pretending to be absorbed in the landscape blurring by. I wasn’t going to let her get to me. Not this time.Her voice finally broke the silence, light and casual, like she was asking for the weather forecast.“You knew I was going to ask.”I couldn’t help the small, sharp laugh that escaped me. “Alina, you’re simple to read.” I turned to face her, and my eyes locked with hers. She was playing that same game again, the one where she pretended to be uninterested, detached. But

Chapter: The Girl In The Photos.Chapter 5: I woke up in Dante's penthouse with a sharp pain in my chest. I couldn't stop thinking about last night, including the fake smile on Camille's face, the flashing cameras and Barry's derisive eyes. I wasn't even sure which I hated more about him or myself or possibly both. The mattress was too supple. The air quality was too high. I was out of place here. The quiet drew me out of the guest room. The space was too large and too silent and it felt like I had been transported to Birmingham Palace in my dreams.If there was something I loved about last night, it was the shock on both Barry and Camille's face, they never believed I could move on quickly and Barry might have a cardiac arrest soonHe must be a joker if he thinks I would stick around begging him to take me back and I never knew he was this stupid that he hadn't even signed the divorce papers.Or maybe he wasn't stupid after all.Damn him.Fresh coffee and the expensive , sweet scent of leather and sandalwood fil

Chapter: Acting It OutChapter 4: Alina's pov That night I slept very little. I was having trouble processing the contract I had just signed and my thoughts were racing. One part of me wanted to laugh, another to scream and a tiny silent part to cry. But nothing would change if I cried. It was precisely at 6:00 a. m when my phone buzzed. Dante: The car is downstairs. Get ready.He said as if he already owned me, I gazed at the message and the audacious assurance in his words. I got dressed quickly wearing dark jeans, a white silk blouse and not much makeup. I had to appear gentle without being frail. Untouchable but beautiful. A woman who wouldn't recoil when she married a billionaire. It was a sleek, black spy-movie-type car. With a nod, a silent driver opened the door. Nothing to say, just a luxury. “Miss Alina,” he said courteously. I slid in after nodding back. Yes,now my name is Alina Thompson, the wife who was forgotten. This sister who was betrayed. But that is no longer the case. As we pul

Chapter: The Contract Agreement. Chapter 3:Alina's pov I entered the imposing glass structure that exuded wealth and power. It was icy, spotless and costly in every way. Blake was someone who commanded attention in every way, he was a no nonsense person and his family was said to be the richest, so I wasn't surprised at how beautiful the place looked like.But like a second skin I carried all three inside of me and it was the betrayal that hurt more than anything.“Mr. Blake is expecting you.” The receptionist said without raising her head.She pointed to a modern private elevator. I stepped in and nodded silently. I hardly recognized the woman who reflected back at me through the elevator doors. I looked taller and sharper with my bold red lips, black fitted dress and heels. But the truth was revealed by my eyes which were still burning with pain and were worn out and haunted. This is what I came back to after being away for two years. Lies, betrayal, heartache. My sister and my husband sharing a bed. I knew tha
