Chapter: Chapter 126Happy endingOne month later.Ava's POV The dress felt like a cloud around me, layers of soft white material. I hardly recognized the person staring back from the mirror. The makeup artist had worked magic, making my eyes seem bigger, my skin glow. It was my wedding day. The day I finally, truly married Dylan. My mate. The father of my babies. I had decided to forgive him when he didn't stop begging, and now I want to leave the past behind. This was a new dawn. I stared at the beautiful gown I was wearing. The dress felt heavy, maybe a bit much for me, but I didn’t care. Not today.Elora was beside me, fussing with the veil, adjusting a stray curl. She looked so happy, her face soft with contentment. She’d found her mate a few weeks ago – Kane, Dylan’s Beta. It felt right. Kane was good, solid, responsible. He would take care of her, just like Dylan took care of me. I was so happy for her, truly happy."Almost ready," Elora murmured, giving my shoulders a gentle squeeze. "You look b

Chapter: Chapter 125Dylan's POV The pack hall felt different today. Quieter, despite the number of wolves gathered inside. After the confessions, after Jake’s end, everyone knew this was coming. The reckoning. The people he’d named. My step-sister, her mate, and Jasmine.The doors opened, and Damon alongside some pack fighters walked in, escorting three figures. Alpha Luke, my step-sister, Layla. And Jasmine. They were flanked by guards, their movements constrained but not physically harmed.Alpha Luke was the first to react. His face was red with fury, his eyes blazing as he was brought to a stop in the center of the hall. He looked around at the assembled pack, then his gaze locked onto me.“Dylan! What is the meaning of this nonsense?!” he roared, his voice echoing in the sudden silence. “Why have you brought us here like this? You can’t just abduct an Alpha and his mate!”I didn’t answer him. I didn’t even look at him. My gaze was fixed on Layla, who stood beside him, her usual haughty demeanor comp

Chapter: Chapter 124Dylan's POV “I will keep trying, Ava,” I said, my voice low and determined. “I will seek your forgiveness, your love, every single day. I will prove to you that I am not the fool I was. I will prove that I deserve you. I will get your heart back.”I didn’t wait for her to respond. I knew what her answer would be. I turned and walked to the door, my steps heavy. As I stepped out, I muttered the words again, a vow to myself, a desperate hope in the face of despair. “I will get your heart back.”Kane was waiting for me outside. He looked at my face, his expression understanding. He had heard when Jake had confessed so he understood perfectly what was going on.“Alpha?” he asked softly.I ran a hand through my hair, feeling the exhaustion and the weight of the conversation pressing down on me. “She’s… she’s hurting, Kane,” I said, the words difficult to push past the lump in my throat. “She heard Jake. She knows the truth.”Kane nodded. “Give her time, Alpha,” he said. “She’s been throug

Chapter: Chapter 123Dylan’s POVThe next morning, the first thing I did, after making sure the pack was secure, was go to see the pups. They were being kept in one of the warmer, safer rooms in the main house. Elora, one of Ava's friends, was there, watching over them. She smiled kindly when I entered.“They’re sleeping soundly, Alpha,” she whispered, gesturing to the small bundle of blankets on the floor.I walked over, my steps quiet. My heart swelled as I looked down at them. Three small, perfect forms, nestled together. My children. I hadn’t seen them since they were tiny newborns, snatched away from Ava by Georgia and Sylvester. Now, they looked a little bigger, their features more defined. They had dark hair, like Ava. My scent was strong around them, a mix of pride and fierce protectiveness.I knelt down beside them, my wolf stirring inside me, a deep, rumbling purr of contentment. My pups. Safe. Home.One of them stirred, a tiny hand reaching out from the blankets. I gently placed my finger in hi

Chapter: Chapter 122Dylan's POV“Stop,” I laughed. “Where's the fun in that? I still have to cut some limbs and feed it to my hounds.”He continued pleading but I ignored his pleas. He had shown no mercy to my children, no mercy to Ava. He deserved none from me. I kept the scissors and pressured hard on his wound, a steady, agonizing weight.He screamed, a raw, desperate sound that tore through the morning air. “Okay! Okay! I’ll talk! I’ll say everything! Just stop!”I held it for a few more seconds, letting him truly feel the depth of the agony, letting the message sink in. Then, slowly, I released the pressure.Jake slumped forward, panting, shaking, his eyes squeezed shut. He was broken. I could see it in his eyes, only the silver chain was able to hold him in place.“Talk,” I repeated, my voice cold and flat.He took a deep, shuddering breath, then another. His eyes fluttered open, meeting mine. The madness was still there, lurking beneath the fear, but the defiance was gone.“It was… it was because

Chapter: Chapter 121Dylan's POV The first rays of sunlight were breaking over the horizon as we reached the borders of Moonstone territory. The familiar scent of the air in the border hit my nostrils. The scent of safety and belonging, washed over me, a wave of relief so potent it made me so relaxed. The pups were safe. Tucked into the back of a separate car, sleeping soundly, oblivious to the hell they’d been through. Ryan and Kyle had done good. They’d found them exactly where Jake said they would be. Bringing them back felt like bringing a piece of my soul back home. We pulled into the heart of Moonstone, the pack members gathering around, their faces a mixture of joy, relief, and grim determination. The news of the fight, how we defeated Sylvester and Georgia had spread quickly. But the news about Jake and the pups… that was the wound that was still fresh, still bleeding. Ava was being helped out of her car, moving slowly, holding her head. Mitchell was right there beside her, supporting her. Ava

Chapter: Chapter 45Sophia's POV The relief that washed over me as we left the police station was almost overwhelming. The air outside felt fresh, clean. It was a stark contrast to the suffocating tension of the room we’d just escaped. I walked between my father and attorney Klaus, my legs still a little shaky from the ordeal. The weight of the accusations, the shock of Angela’s betrayal, the uncertainty of what lay ahead, it was all a lot to take in. It still feels creepy to know Angela would bail on me like that, and that makes one thing clear; she wasn't acting out of fear. No, her action speaks more volumes. I have a feeling her hands have been greased.As we reached the curb, Klaus gave me a small, reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Sophia. We’ll sort this out. I’ll be in touch,” he said, his voice calm and professional. He was a stranger to me, but I was already incredibly grateful for his presence and his swift action. He turned and headed towards his own car, the sleek lines of it a stark contrast to

Chapter: Chapter 44Sophia's POV I stared at Angela, wide-eyed. I couldn't believe what I just heard. It still feels like a dream, or in this case, maybe a nightmare. I watched her knit her brow together, regarding me with the most cruel look.I shook my head, wanting to believe I must have heard wrong. “Y–you don't mean that?” I stuttered, feeling a pit in my belly.“I mean it quite alright!” she exclaimed in an icy tone.The whole thing played in my head again. It was just yesterday when Angela had told me about Lydia's request to clean her office. I didn't smell any foul play. I wouldn't have. It's my job to make sure the offices delegated to me are perfectly clean. Besides, it wasn't the first time Lydia had informed Angela to tell me to clean her office. I'm displeased to think Lydia could go this far, but I'm more disappointed to know Angela could take part in this charade.Anna clears her throat, catching my attention as I raise my head up to meet her gaze. “You suddenly have nothing to say?”My

Chapter: Chapter 43Sophia's POV It's been hours since I'm confined to this little block. Everything still feels like one strange dream, only that it wasn't. The cops in their own witty way tried to make me confess, but what would I be confessing to? A crime I didn't commit. Quite gross.I relaxed back on the chair, knowing they had nothing on me, at least that was what I've gathered so far. I knew they were watching, watching my every move, from the surveillance camera in the right upper wing of the room. But that wouldn't make me fret. I'm confident I didn't commit any crime.When the door creaked open, I looked up to see the woman that came with the cops. Earlier today, she didn't look like a cop. I guess her bright round face didn't give much room to think of that.“Sophia Thompson,” she called, taking the seat opposite me. “I'm Anna Holland, the officer in charge of your case.”I regarded her briefly. She looked like someone in her mid-thirties. Her wavy blonde hair was packed backwards, forming so

Chapter: Chapter 42Donald's POV The wind blew hard on my face as I walked towards the entrance of Fresh brews, an average coffee shop downtown. I looked over at my shoulders, wanting to confirm no one saw me get into the coffee shop.Once inside the coffee shop, I took a seat just across the left wing, glancing at my wristwatch to see I was right on time. I observed the surroundings for a while, only a few people were sitting around. That was a good thing. I wouldn't want anyone recognizing me and then posting a video of me with a weird caption in this sub-standard kind of setting. Nowadays, people could do anything for the money and maybe a bit of fame.The only reason I was here is because the private investigator insisted we meet in a less secluded part of town. His reason being we need to be discreet in case there's really a culprit in the company.After sitting there for a while, I glanced at my wristwatch again, and I shook my head. It was past 11 a.m, our scheduled time to meet. Why was he takin

Chapter: Chapter 41Sophia's POV It still feels like a movie, or a bad dream I would probably wake up from. The female officer was still saying some things, but I didn't catch a word from why she was saying. In this kind of situation, I know I have to stand for myself. No one really cares about me enough to stand up for me. At least, no one dared to. Angela still had her mouth agape, her eyes staring at me with all the pity in the world. But she couldn't stand up for me, not even if she want to. No one would take her words serious. For now, I only have myself to put things right.I turned to the two officers, my heart racing but I knew I had to stand strong. “I believe there's a misconception somewhere. I didn't steal anything.”Th officer gave me a cold look. It was the kind of look you give to the most heinous criminals. I wasn't a criminal, and never will I be one. Therefore, I'm not intimidated by his looks.“Miss Sophia, kindly follow us to the station. Your cooperation with us would be to your ow

Chapter: Chapter 40Sophia's POV The Tuesday morning air felt lighter, a welcome change after the tension of the weekend. I hummed a little tune as I walked through the familiar halls of Lance corporation, my cleaning supplies neatly organized in a trolley. I wanted to keep things light today, to push aside the lingering worries about being treated with scorn. I remember the word of a long time friend, being worried only get you old. Therefore, I decided to keep things simple and take it one step at a time.Angela, with her bright, cheerful demeanor, caught me by the breakroom. “Morning, Sophia! Ready to tackle the beast?” she chirped, a wide grin on her face. Angela was one of the few bright spots in this cleaning department, her easygoing nature a refreshing contrast to the usual stiffly presence of the other workers.“As I’ll ever be,” I replied, mirroring her smile. We chatted for a few more minutes about the usual office gossip – who was in, who was out, who was rumored to be getting a promotion –
