Chapter: Chapter 69
Ava’s POVThe fortune-teller didn’t speak right away. Her fingers shuffled the cards with precision, like she'd done it a thousand times in her sleep. The way she moved was too calm.Nathaniel gave an exaggerated sigh behind the camera but I ignored him."You carry a loud beauty,” the old woman said without looking at me. Her voice was deep, melodic. “But your spirit is quieter. Like it’s waiting for something.”I blinked. “Excuse me?”She finally looked up, her gaze soft. “Something inside you has gone quiet. A part of you once full of music and light.”I gave a nervous chuckle. “Marriage does that to a woman.”Nathaniel smirked. “We’re five days in. The light can’t be dead yet.”The woman ignored him completely. She laid the cards out in a fan and gestured. “Pick FIVE.”I glanced back at Nathaniel. “You're really recording this?”“Of course,” he said. “If she summons a demon, I want the footage.”I rolled my eyes and leaned forward, choosing five cards. My fingers hovered over each

Ava’s POVThe week after the interview felt like a slow-motion car crash. Not because Nathaniel and I were fighting, we were way past fighting. We were in full Cold War mode.Jessica handled PR related issues while forcing us to post lovey-dovey pictures and videos.Nathaniel buried himself in meetings, calls, Hargrave press statements. I spent the week touring the hotel for pictures and videos, editing content, posting curated photos of myself looking stunningly beautiful, rich, and doing daily Lives that somehow pushed my following to almost 15 million on youtube.I was really the most-followed woman in the country. I started receiving a lot of offers from companies and events, but I decided to leave those in the background when he walked past shirtless. I didn't mind sharing.(You’re welcome, ladies.)But even with the social media glow-up, we hadn’t talked. Not about the interview. Not about James. Not about

Chapter: Chapter 67
Ava's POV"Oh my God! "I gasped.My eyes stayed locked on the screen behind us, frozen, watching James Hayes casually using the leg press machine in the background of the viral gym video.The crowd murmured, the host leaned back with a smug smile, and I could hear the producers whispering excitedly off-camera. A scandal was good for ratings.I sat frozen, and I couldn't breath. Nathaniel just sat there with no reaction, no assistance."Ava?" the host prompted again, sweetly, but with mischief underneath. "Do you have anything to say about this?"My throat was dry. I tried to speak, but all I could do was stare at the screen. I felt every eye on me, including Nathaniel’s. His hand was still on mine, but it wasn’t the same gentle pressure from before. It was rigid. Like he was deciding whether to keep holding on or let go."I... I didn’t know he was there," I finally said. My voice was cracking. "I didn’t s

Chapter: Chapter 66
Nathaniel’s POVBy the time the article headlines started trending, I already knew my mother would call. But shockingly it was my Father, first thing in the morning. He didn’t waste time with greetings."This is a PR mess," He said, with annoyance in his tone. "James Hayes being manhandled by you, videos of Ava alone in the gym, emotional headlines? You guys were alone for just few hours and already causing more trouble.""It wasn't our fault. It just happened unexpectedly.""I don't care about that. Just fix it. We need damage control immediately."I looked at Ava, and could see her drop her spoon; her expression showing anxiety, guilt, and oddly, something softer like she felt bad that I was caught up in her mess."I’ve already blacklisted James Hayes," I replied. "He won’t get a foot into any business remotely associated with Hargrave.""You did what without consulting me?" Jessica screamed in the background

Chapter: Chapter 65
Ava’s POV"James Hayes." I replied Nathaniel, trying to figure out what he was about to use the name for.I watched as Nathaniel repeated the name and ended the call, his whole body looked tensed up. The room was quiet, I didn't say a word, he just stared out the window like he was thinking or brain storming.I started staring at him, observing him like I had never seen him before. Then my mind went to those words he said;>"You're not Ava Collins anymore. You're Ava Hargrave."I started picturing the way he looked when he lifted James? His eyes, he was cold, calm and protective. The way he looked at me after and grabbed my hand to take me away? Like I was something worth defending. Like I mattered. My cheeks started turning red.But then his other version of him slipped back in with a warning and brought me out of my day dream."Next time you leave this room without telling me, don’t expect me to fi

The Detective Omega

The Detective Omega

“You’re in heat and turning me on...” He said, coming closer. My heart cut in half. Was Lucien a werewolf pervert trying to get down with me? “What? What's heat?" He stared at me, stunned. “You! You're not human...You’re a werewolf....Not just any werewolf...An Omega.” Seraphina thought werewolves were just folklore, until she saw one eat a man alive. Seraphina Vale became a fearless homicide detective after her Ex used and dumped her when she was young, naive and weak. Now handling a high-profile case and chasing after what she thinks is a brutal killer. What she uncovers instead is a hidden world of wolves, ancient human-wolf pacts, and instincts she can’t explain. One wrong move lands her in the arms of a dangerous Alpha billionaire with secrets of his own and a scent that sets her blood on fire. She soon learns she’s not human at all, but a rare Omega with sacred royal blood hidden among humans by her parents before they died. As her heat surges and the mate bond tightens, Seraphina is hunted by rogue wolves, manipulated by Alpha Elders, and betrayed by the best friend and crush who happened to be her teammate she once trusted with her life. Now caught in a love triangle between her bestfriend and a vengeful ex who allies with rogue wolves, Seraphina must choose: control her heart and destiny or let her destiny and others destroy her.

Chapter: Chapter 33: Sera The Wolf
Lucien’s POV"Move!" I growled, slamming my shoulder into the door again.BANG!"Seraphina!" I increased my voice. The scent of blood was leaking through the door. My heart thundered in my chest. The thought of her… tasting him. No.... I couldn’t let that happen...if she does that I will have to perform my duty and kill her.Ayla who went to get the keys, came back. "Ayla! Where the hell are the keys?!" I shouted."Lost them!" she replied casually, like we weren't about to witness a Sera do something against the human-wolf pact."WHAT! " I looked at her angrily. I knew she did it intentionally. She rolled her eyes, with a smirk on her face.I instructed the staff who came with her.. "Trigger the fire alarm...evacuate everyone from the building...especially the president....tell him the meeting is over..." I turned and faced the hard door. "Then I break it." I borrowed some strength from my wolf and hit the door.BANG!Pouring all my strength into one hit... everything I had and the

Chapter: Chapter 32: Human To Wolf
"Let me remind you who you belong to.""Belong? To you?" I barked out a laugh, even as fear went around my ribs like a boa constrictor. "Damian, you really need a dictionary. I’ll send you one. Or maybe I should just tattoo the word 'delusional' across your forehead."His belt whipped against the bedframe, the sound loud and cruel like his stupid smile. "Still got that sharp mouth, huh? I’ll fix that.""No thanks, I like it sharp."I rolled off the bed just as he swung the belt. The leather hissed through the air, missing me by an inch. I scrambled to my feet, heart pounding, adrenaline flooding my veins."Stay still, Sera!""Why? So you can play your sick little punishment game? Hard pass."I ducked under his next swing, grabbing the bedside lamp and hurling it at him. He dodged, snarling."You think you can beat me?""I don’t have to beat you. I just have to make you bleed."His eyes glinted with rage, and he lunged, tackling me to the bed with all his strength, pinning my wrists ab

Chapter: Chapter 31: Stalking Lucien Gone Wrong
Chapter 31"You better not be doing something stupid, Lucien Kael," I huffed, pulling my hood over my head as I tiptoed into the hotel Lucien had gone into "Because I’m about to do something stupider."The shiny floors, the clinking glasses, the tall men in suits....oh yes, this place smelled like trouble, wrapped in expensive cologne and stitched up in political scandal.I just need proper evidence that could expose the whole wolf race and make humans wipe them off the face of the universe. I tugged the little staff badge I ... ahem, borrowed....tighter around my neck and balanced my tray like I totally belonged here. "Excuse me, pardon me, VIP towel delivery coming through," I mumbled to myself, slipping past security like a breeze with my head down. Thankfully, staffs wore facemasks...maybe for hygiene...I don't know but it works for me right now."Cupcake, you’re going to get caught," I could almost hear Lucien's amused purr in my head. I wonder why he is so obsessed with me...cal

Chapter: Chapter 30: Is The President A Werewolf?
"Is that the president's face on your phone?!" I blurted, squinting at the glowing screen as if it might be lying to me.Lucien's head barely lifted from my lap, his voice still wrapped in the silk of sleep. "Hmm? Oh. Yeah.""What do you mean 'yeah'?" I practically squeaked, pointing at the bold name flashing on the screen. "That’s the actual president! The leader of the whole country! The president!"His hand lazily drifted to my thigh, squeezing softly as he sighed. "Cupcake, please don’t yell near my ear. I’m recovering."Recovering my butt.The phone buzzed again, louder this time, insistent, the president’s name glowing like a neon sign I couldn’t unsee."Lucien! Answer it! It’s the president!" I flailed, flustered, my heart tripping over itself.Lucien’s thumb lazily swiped to accept the call, his voice shifting instantly, smooth and formal like he’d just put on an expensive suit. "Yes, Sir. I understand. I’ll be there shortly."Beep. The call ended just like that. No emotion, n

Chapter: Chapter 29: You Must Marry Me
Seraphina's POV"GET. OFF. HIM!"Ayla's scream shattered the moment like glass, and before I could even flinch, her hands were in my hair, yanking me backward."Ow! Let go!" I shrieked, struggling against her grip.Lucien groaned and tried to sit up, but he was still weak from whatever Marcus had done. His hand reached for me, eyes wide and panicked. "Ayla! Let her go!""YOU LITTLE VIXEN!" Ayla hissed, her perfectly manicured nails digging into my scalp. "You think you can just slither into my place beside him?!"I twisted, trying to break free, but she was stronger than she looked. "I'm not slithering anywhere! You're the one who barged into my house like a maniac!""You're in his arms! On his chest! In his bed!""Technically, it's my bed," I snapped, still flailing. "I said let go."How much drama do I need to experience within twenty-four hours? Lucien’s voice sliced through the chaos like a whip. "AYLA!"We both froze.His chest heaved with the effort of yelling. He looked livid,

Chapter: Chapter 28: The Name on the Screen
Seraphina’s POV“Ayla?” I whispered, staring at Lucien’s phone like it was a bomb about to explode.Why… why would she be calling him?Right now? When he’s like this? When I’m here, panicking like a lunatic?The phone kept buzzing in my palm. I bit my lip, torn. Should I answer? Should I throw it across the room? Should I… should I...“Cupcake…” Lucien’s voice, soft and breathless, pulled my attention back to him.I jumped, clutching the phone tightly. “Your phone… it’s… it’s Ayla.”I said it like it tasted bad in my mouth.His eyes fluttered open lazily, his lips curving into a faint, teasing smile. “Hmm… let it ring. I don’t want to talk to her.”I bl
