Chapter: Chapter 15: Breakfast Amy StoneI wake up from my slumber, Kael's arm draped on my tummy. I gaze at his beautiful features—oh gosh, he's more handsome when he's sleeping. For a second, I forget this marriage is nothing but a mission.I slide from the bed, making sure I don't wake him up. I wear my robe and head to the kitchen, butterflies flapping in my tummy.Amy, this is a bad idea. Breakfast for him? This is so unlike you…I scold myself for a second before I slip into the kitchen, the wide kitchen island staring right at me.The house help, whose name I read on the tag—"Genevieve"—bows lightly. “Your highness…” she says, and I silence her. This whole royalty title spreads like wildfire."I'll make Mr. Woods' breakfast today. You can have some rest." I pick a clean pan and put it on the stove.She hesitates and tries to stop me. “No, the master wouldn't allow me.”“I insist,” I smile, and she simply gives up and nods.As she steps out.My body shivers when my mind trails back to last night. My core is

Chapter: Chapter 14: Heat Between UsAmy Stone – Mrs. WoodsKael’s hands are on me before I can even think,Clide scoffs as Kael leads me to the bedroom .He is pulling me flush against him. His hold is hard and claiming at the same time. "Kael," I stammer, my body trembling at his touch.His lips brush mine in a teasing, in a demanding kiss, with his teeth grazing lightly, and I gasp.My fingers tangling in his hair as my core tightens beneath the thin fabric of my panties. The heat between us is instant, electric, a current that sparks through every nerve.I don't even take time to register how fast he has moved my body against his.“You’re shaking,” he murmurs against my lips, voice low and rough. “Relax. You’re mine.”A shiver runs through me. My fingers slide over the hard swell of his chest, and I feel him respond immediately, his body taut beneath my touch. The tension between us coils tight, thick, dangerous, and I can’t look away.Kael leans down, lips grazing my jaw, teeth teasing the skin. “God, you smell li

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Enemy at the Door Amy Stone – Mrs. WoodsThe knock at the door is sharp, loud, almost impatient.Kael’s head snaps up from the counter where he’s plating food, his entire body going still.“Stay here,” he says, his voice clipped, dangerous.My stomach twists. “Kael, who would—”Another knock, harder this time.Kael strides to the door, yanking it open with a single motion. My breath catches in my throat when I see him.Stupid Chad.He’s dressed in his usual smug arrogance—tailored suit, silk tie, perfectly styled hair. But there’s something different tonight. His eyes gleam with false concern, and his lips curl into a mockery of a sympathetic smile.“Amy. Dad." His voice drips with fake warmth. “I heard about the… unfortunate incident at the wedding. Explosives, was it? I rushed over the moment I got the news. I was so… worried.”I tighten my grip on the robe around me, taking a small step back. My pulse pounds in my ears. Worried?He caused the explosion, and now he’s standing here acting like a sav

Chapter: Chapter 12: Temptation Amy Stone – Mrs. WoodsKael’s hand stays firmly at the small of my back as he guides me into his home, his touch steady, grounding, protective.The house takes my breath away.It’s all sharp edges and bold design—dark marble floors, floor-to-ceiling windows with the city lights blazing below. Everything screams power and control. Him.But then my eyes land on a photo sitting on the mantel.A beautiful woman, smiling so radiantly it almost hurts to look at her.My chest tightens. I don’t have to ask who she is. Kael’s late wife.I drag my gaze away, wrapping his robe tighter around me as if that will hold my heart together.“This is your home now too,” Kael says softly, his thumb brushing my arm. For a man feared by many, his voice is unexpectedly gentle with me. “I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”I nod quickly, unable to trust my voice.The moment he disappears down the hall, a different kind of heat fills the room.Clide.He leans casually against the doorframe, hands in his po

Chapter: Chapter 11: The ThreatAmy Stone (Mrs Woods)My chest burns as smoke fills my lungs. I cough and gasp, clinging to Kael’s shirt as he charges through the wreckage. His grip on me is unbreakable, his body like a shield against falling debris.“Hold on to me, Amy,” he says, his voice rough but steady.I nod, burying my face in his neck as the sound of panicked guests and crackling flames fills the air. My ears still ring from the explosions, but I focus on his heartbeat.He pushes past a group of crying women and shoves open the large double doors with his shoulder. The cool night air rushes over me and I take a deep, shaky breath.Outside, guests scatter across the lawn. Some are screaming, others are on their knees, crying or calling loved ones.Kael doesn’t stop moving until we reach a safe distance. He sets me down gently but keeps an arm around me, his eyes scanning me up and down for injuries.“Are you hurt?” he asks, cupping my face.I shake my head quickly, though my whole body trembles. “No… just sha

Chapter: Chapter 10: Mrs Woods
“Oh my God, she seems to be an heiress, but actually she is a thief,” a blonde girl says, lifting her glass of wine with a smug little smirk, her words loud enough for half the hall to hear. There’s a look of distaste on her face as though simply being in the same room as me offends her.A few gasps ripple through the crowd and the whispers begin spreading like wildfire. My stomach twists but I straighten my shoulders and keep my head high.“Kael, I would never steal,” I murmur under my breath, clutching his hand lightly.Before I can fully prepare myself for his reaction, Kael wraps his much larger hand firmly over mine. The warmth of his grip sends a strange wave of calm through me, my heart leaping just a little. Chad would never have done this for me, not in front of so many people. He always avoided conflict, always found a way to make me feel small. But Kael, his father, doesn’t hesitate for even a second to stand beside me.The chaos grows louder as Mrs Vermont’s sharp voice cu

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVELuna’s POVThe garden sparkled under the afternoon sun, white petals drifting lazily in the gentle breeze. Lanterns swayed softly, their warm glow mingling with the golden light, and laughter floated in the air. The city beyond the tall hedges seemed a world away, distant and unimportant. Here, in this moment, everything felt… perfect.I stood near the edge of the ceremony lawn, my hands lightly clasped in front of me, watching Jimmy. He looked impossibly handsome in his tailored black suit, the crisp lines complementing his broad shoulders. There was a calm certainty in him now, a quiet joy that had been absent for so long.Lucy approached him from the other side, radiant in a flowing ivory gown. Her smile was soft, her hands shaking slightly as she reached for his. Jimmy took them gently, his grip steady, grounding her.I couldn’t help but smile, my heart lifting with a warmth I hadn’t felt in weeks. The memory of everything—Elina’s lies, Leah’s schemes, the flash drives, the storm

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVELuna’s POVThe storm had returned, heavier this time, thrashing against the windows like it wanted to tear the city apart. I stood behind the massive oak desk in my office, watching the rain streak down the glass, listening to the distant hum of sirens and tires on wet asphalt. The city never slept, but I felt as though the world had narrowed to a single point of clarity—and that point was truth.The flash drive, once a tool of paranoia, now sat discarded in the trash. Its power over me had vanished. I knew it was a lie. Every recording, every message, every carefully planted “evidence” had been constructed to manipulate me, to break me from the inside. And the one person behind it all? Leah.I had traced the subtle inconsistencies, the little half-truths that didn’t fit, the shadows in Elina’s behavior that had nagged at me all this time. And tonight, it all made sense.I had been played.Elina. She had cried, begged, apologized—every movement, every word a rehearsal designed to gain

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREELuna’s POVThe office was silent, except for the steady hum of the city outside. Rain still streaked the windows, but it had slowed to a drizzle. I stood behind my desk, staring down at the flash drive I had retrieved from the envelope Leah’s people had delivered. It sat on the polished wood like a weight, small and innocent, but filled with poison.Elina had moved around the office quietly, pretending to organize files, but I could feel her presence, calculated and careful. Every gesture she made seemed rehearsed. Every smile too precise.I didn’t speak immediately. Instead, I set the flash drive aside and watched her.“Elina,” I said finally, my voice even, calm, controlled. “You’ve been awfully eager lately.”She jumped slightly, her hands clutching a folder. “I—I just want to help, Luna. That’s all. I want to make things right.”I walked slowly toward her, circling the room like a predator. “Help, yes. But helping isn’t supposed to feel like a performance.”She swallowed hard, her

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWOLuna’s POVThe rain fell in steady sheets against the glass windows of my office, a dull, rhythmic sound that did little to calm the storm raging inside me. The gray sky mirrored my mood perfectly—clouded, heavy, and on the verge of breaking.Jimmy’s voice from yesterday still echoed in my head, raw and desperate."She’s lying to you, Luna. Elina’s lying."He’d looked at me with such certainty, such fierce determination, that for a moment, I almost believed him. Almost.But then there was Elina—trembling, broken, her voice soft with remorse as she wept in my arms."I just want to make things right. Please, Luna. You’re the only one who ever saw me as more than my mistakes."I wanted to believe her. I needed to believe her. Forgiving her felt like healing a part of myself.And yet… the doubt clawed at me.…I sat behind my desk, staring blankly at the envelope that had been delivered last night. Inside was a simple flash drive. No sender, no explanation. Just cold, hard evidence of bet

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWOLeah’s POVThe sun was barely up, but my mind had been awake for hours. There would be no rest for me today—not when the game pieces were finally shifting in my favor.I stood in front of the tall window of my penthouse, coffee cup in hand, and stared down at the city that would soon be mine. The streets below buzzed with people going about their meaningless little lives, oblivious to the storm I was about to unleash.Jimmy had always been a problem—Luna’s loyal little guard dog, always sniffing around, always suspicious. His overprotectiveness was irritating at first, but now… now it was dangerous. He was close to seeing the truth about Elina. Too close.But every move he made only tightened the noose around his neck.I smirked, taking a slow sip of my coffee. “You want to play hero, Jimmy? Fine. But this will be the last role you ever play.”On the table behind me lay a flash drive. My masterpiece. Weeks of careful fabrication condensed into one neat little package: doctored recordi

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY Leah’s POVThe TV flickered with images of Luna standing tall at the podium, her face glowing under the blinding camera lights. Reporters swarmed around her like bees to honey, cheering as she tore apart everything I’d worked so hard to build.My wine glass slammed against the edge of the coffee table, shattering into tiny red-stained pieces.“She thinks she’s untouchable,” I hissed, my chest rising and falling in quick, sharp breaths.Liam, who sat across from me, flinched slightly but didn’t dare speak. Smart man. He knew better than to interrupt me when I was like this.I leaned forward, pressing my palms into my knees as I glared at Luna’s smug little face on the screen. “She crawled out of that hospital bed just to humiliate me. She should have stayed down, where she belongs.”My nails dug into my skin. “She won’t be standing much longer. Not when I’m done with her.”Liam finally cleared his throat. “Leah, the crowd believed her today. The footage Jaden released—”“Shut up.” My v

Your third spirit set me free," she smiled, hugging me back."Third spirit?""Yes. You're the moon goddess herself!" she said, bowing her head.A cold laugh cut through the trees. Caleb stepped forward, claws catching the moonlight between the branches."Well, well… little Sammy escaped. How cute," he sneered, pacing slowly.Samantha growled, stepping forward, claws glinting. "Stop this, Caleb! You don’t have to fight!""Oh, but I do," he said, eyes gleaming. "You think escaping changes anything? You think you can defy me?"Before we could react, he lunged. I ducked as a spike of dark energy shot past us, slicing through a nearby tree with a sharp crack. Samantha leapt beside me, claws flashing, striking him across the shoulder. He staggered, smirking, and wiped blood from the corner of his mouth."Bold," he said, circling us. "Did it hurt, being trapped? Think

Chapter: Chapter 87Aurora’s POVThe battlefield was pure chaos — a blur of claws, teeth, and blood-soaked earth. Wolves clashed with rogues beneath the pale moonlight, their growls and screams mixing with the metallic scent of death. My breath came in sharp gasps as I fought, my body aching, my spirit refusing to break.We were holding our ground — barely — until I saw him.Through the haze of battle, a familiar figure emerged, cutting through the chaos with terrifying precision. My heart froze, and for one foolish moment, I wished I’d been wrong. But there was no mistaking that broad frame or those cold, calculating eyes.Uncle Dexter.The man who had betrayed me long ago, who had sold me like I was nothing more than a pawn in his twisted games, now stood boldly beside Caleb.“Dexter…” The name tore from my throat, broken and furious.He met my gaze, his expression devoid of remorse, and then — like a nightmare coming to life — he turned away from me and joined Caleb’s charge.

Chapter: Chapter 86Caleb’s POVI stood in the middle of the ruined kingdom, the stench of smoke and blood thick in the air. Buildings lay in rubble. Fires flickered among shattered walls, casting long, chaotic shadows. My dark energy lingered like a haze around me. The battlefield was mine—or it should have been.I raised my head and looked at the moon. Pale, cold, and distant. I sneered. “So this is the Moon Goddess,” I said aloud, loud enough to echo over the broken streets. “All this power, and this is the army she sends? Weak, pathetic wolves. Pathetic.”The wind carried my words across the battlefield. “I expected more. A real challenge. Not this handful of scrappy, useless fighters.” My claws clenched. “Where is your power? Where is your force? You call yourself a goddess? Ha!”From the corner of my eye, I saw her—Aurora. She was standing a little apart from the others, her body tense, her eyes fixed on me. Her aura was strong, yes, but I’d faced strong opponents before. None of them had ever been

Chapter: Chapter 85Samantha’s POVPain throbbed through my body. Every breath felt heavier than the last, and the iron chains dug into my wrists and ankles. I sank to my knees, head bowed, tears streaking my face. My strength was fading, my magic stolen by Caleb, leaving me hollow and powerless.I had made a mistake. A fatal one. I had told Caleb about Aurora’s powers, thinking I could manipulate the situation, thinking I could protect myself. Now, everything I had built, everything I had fought for, seemed lost.I raised my face to the night sky, the cold wind brushing my cheeks, and whispered a desperate plea.“Moon Goddess… hear me. I have failed. I have lost my way, but I still have a purpose. Please… restore me. Restore my powers. Grant me the strength to protect what remains… to protect Aurora.”Silence answered. My tears fell freely, and my heart sank. Maybe this was the end. Maybe I was meant to fade into nothing.Then—a flicker of warmth. A spark of energy that hummed in my veins, weak at first

Dust and debris flew with each hit.“Aurora,” Lola hissed, “The ring—grab it. That’s where his power is.”I moved forward, circling Caleb. “Over here!” I shouted. He turned, eyes blazing.Damion lunged, claws aimed, but Caleb was faster. I ducked under a strike, rolled to the side, and kicked a pillar to keep him off balance.Caleb’s swing caught my shoulder. Pain shot through me, but I kept moving, aiming for the ring. Lola hit his arm, forcing him to flinch. I lunged, claws scraping against metal.He countered, knocking me back. I rolled, kicked debris into his face, and kept circling. Each blow from him was brutal, precise, and fast. I blocked, parried, and dodged, refusing to stop.Caleb lunged again, aiming for my chest. I twisted, striking his wrist. Sparks flew as our powers collided. He growled, swinging hard, and I ducked, feeling the air slice past my head

The massive doors of the throne room loomed ahead. I threw them open—and froze for a heartbeat. Damion stood in front of Caleb’s throne, chest heaving, eyes like fire. “Step down and face me, Caleb!” Caleb leaned back, arms crossed, smirking. “You think you can take her? She’s mine.” I stepped forward, voice sharp. “I am not an object! I will not be taken!” Damion’s growl rumbled low. “Aurora, get back!” I ignored him, keeping my gaze on Caleb. “You think you can decide my fate? I fight for my freedom and my people! I will not be treated like a prize!” Caleb’s eyes narrowed, but he said nothing. Instead, he gestured with a tilt of his head. “So be it. A duel. Winner takes her.” I clenched my fists, refusing to step back. “I don’t care about your duel! I will not be claimed! Not by you, not by him!” Damion’s eyes softe
