Chapter: EpilogueMaliyla's POVTwo years later"Amir togf and a tecon lima ma akhtak," Katia yelled as I walked over with two water bottles.After Hector and I discussed starting a family, nothing stopped us from trying every night. It wasn't easy, but I finally got pregnant after a year of trying. Hector was overjoyed, even more so when he found out, I was pregnant. Being a mom had its perks, and I loved every moment, but when I returned to work, it became a problem.Penthesilea was Daddy's girl, so when Hector left, she would cry and not stop until he returned. At that point, I asked Hector to turn one of the extra rooms into a playroom, which worked out because Katia could bring Amir over.Having finished work early, Katia and I took the kids to the park. Amir and Penthesilea were a year and a half apart, which was

Chapter: Chapter 106Maliyla's POVBeing open with Hector about wanting our own family brought us closer together. It seemed he was worried I wouldn't want pups, which I wasn't ready for initially, and I appreciated his patience with me. After Katia had Amir, something clicked inside of me. I knew I couldn't put it off forever, despite knowing no one was ever truly ready. As a result of Hathor's guidance, I was able to make sense of the situation.(Flashback)"It's obvious he wants pups, and I don't blame him, but how do I know we are ready? I would rather not be one of those Lunas that sit all day and do nothing. It is important for me to maintain my own identity," I told Hathor while in the middle of my workout.Working out kept me level-headed and gave Hathor and me time to discuss serious things. For a wolf, she had some brilliant advice."You can'

Chapter: Chapter 105Hector's POV.The meeting with the new Alpha and Luna went differently than expected. After talking to them, there was no doubt that they were trouble. They didn't have a reliable means of sustaining their pack, and taking in rogues was my biggest concern. As a result, I declined their offer to do business with them. On the other hand, Daunte wanted to watch them closer, so he set up a team to always keep watch. In this regard, it was clever, as we would always know what they were up to.As far as I could tell, everything was going smoothly. Jeanie had taken a leave of absence, but after speaking to Maliyla, I understood why. Therefore, we hired another housekeeper in Jeanie's absence. As the weeks passed, I couldn't help but shake the words that Alpha Markus said to us at the meeting.(Flashback)"I thought your companies were for sale. Especially your weap

Chapter: Chapter 104Hector's POVAfter landing, I immediately returned to work mode. Reviewing my emails, I discovered some that had not yet been answered and others that had. I was grateful for the time off to be with my mate, but I knew my pack also needed me. Jonathan and Daunte had done an excellent job in my absence. Crestview Pack was the only thing they would rather not handle without me. Daunte had expressed his concerns, and after the report I had received, I wasn't too sure I wanted to do business with them.(Flashback)"Nice to hear from you, Alpha Hector. How was the honeymoon?" Evangeline's voice came through on the other end of the phone."It was great. We had a good time," I replied."Well, that is good news, but I am sure you didn't call me just to say hello. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" she asked.

Chapter: Chapter 103Maliyla's POV***Four weeks later***It had been a week since Hector and I left Maketa. It turned out that the storm that kept us there for an extra week was not as bad as they expected. Despite initial reports of a category-five hurricane, it turned out to be a tropical storm. Despite the heavy rain and wind, the storm did not prove to be as severe as expected. After being away from home for a month and one week, it took a few days for me to get back into the swing of things. The fact that Hector did not miss a beat was to the point that it was as if he had never left in the first place. Jonathan was glad to see us again.(Flashback)"Next time you two plan a honeymoon, don't," Jonathan told us after picking us up from the airport."Surely, it wasn't that bad," I uttered as I entered the car."Please don

Chapter: Chapter 102Maliyla's POVMakatea, goddess, this place was incredible. From the food to the ocean, it was paradise. I thought I had seen everything until I stepped foot here. Words couldn't do justice to the beauty of this place. In a way, it was like entering a dream. This beach was filled with clear, warm, and inviting water. Trees, lush greenery, and white sand created a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. Hector and I spent the entire morning and afternoon on the beach. We spent the whole day swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the area. It wasn't until my stomach growled that Hector said we should head back."No, we can stay a bit longer," I whined as I turned on my stomach."Don't make me drag your ass back to the hotel," Hector replied as he stood up.I laughed, "You wouldn't."Suddenly, I felt his hand grip my ankle, and he dragged me down

I feel like a goddess. Like prey. Like I’m theirs.Gavin slides my legs wider apart with a slow, unhurried confidence that turns my bones to syrup. His palms are warm against my knees as he leans in, letting his mouth hover just above where Jack left me messy and sensitive.“You’re still trembling,” he murmurs, like he’s proud of that.“Maybe because Jack tried to devour me,” I say, breathless.Jack grins. “You’re welcome.”Before I can reply, Gavin lowers his mouth, tongue stroking deep and slow—so different from Jack’s frenzied pace. Gavin eats like a man with something to prove, every pass deliberate, every moan from me met with more pressure, more praise.Harrison stands behind me, brushing

I should be celebrating.Instead, I’m working late. Again.I know, I know, work-life balance, blah, blah, blah. But I can’t help it. We’ve been operational for just over a year, and we’ve done so much good already. This is important work. I have no idea how doctors clock out. When I’m home, I can’t turn off my Marigold brain. I’m thinking about the next kid we can help. And the one after that.I hear the knock before I even finish saving the last document. Three soft raps at the rear office door—my door. No one uses that one except staff during daylight hours… and them.I smile before I even stand. “You’re lucky I just finished,” I call out as I head to unlock it. “If this is about dinner, I’ve got leftover Thai in the—”The words die in my throat when I see them.Jack stands just outside the threshold in jean

Chapter: Epilogue 2PARKERJack walks in carrying four glasses—neat bourbon for Harrison, red wine for Gavin and me, and a flute of something bubbly for himself, because of course he thinks champagne makes him the fun one. He hands me my wine with a grin, his thumb brushing the side of my palm.“You okay?” he asks, his voice softer now.“Better than okay.”Gavin’s already seated on the sectional, shirt unbuttoned at the collar, one arm draped along the backrest like he’s waiting for someone to crawl into his lap and take what’s theirs.That someone is me. But I want to make them work for it.I let Harrison lead me toward the couch, but I don’t sit. I sip my wine slowly, turning so my robe slips just enough at the shoulder to show skin.It’s been months since I had the chance to simply feel wanted. Not in passing. Not in sleepy half-murmurs during midnight feedings. I want to be craved. Touched. Worshiped. They all watch me now, tuned in to the same frequency, like I’ve flipped a switch in the room.Gavin

I call first push!”Behind him, the edge of the beach stroller peeks through the open gate, and sure enough, there’s my mother in her wide-brimmed sun hat, waving cheerfully like she hasn’t just orchestrated the grand escape of three children for an overnight visit at her cottage.“Hi, sweetheart!” she calls, catching the gate before Levi can slam it shut. “Are you ready for a night at Nana’s?”He doesn’t answer. He’s already grabbing the stroller handle. Lyra finally appears behind me, hair braided, oversized tote bag swinging from one arm. “Do not let Levi push her until I get there!” she huffs, and then glares up at me. “Tell him, Mom.”“I’m staying out of this one,” I murm

Back off, or we will end this in ways you can’t take back.”“You think you can threaten me with your lies?” she hisses. “Pathetic.”“No,” Harrison says. “With the truth. You’ve been playing dirty for decades. Leaking stories, covering up crimes, blackmailing rivals. And we’re done letting you hide.”Her face tightens. “Never play a player, Harrison. You know that. If you had proof of anything, you would have used it by now.”Jack snaps, “No, we wouldn’t. We’re better people than you.”“And we do have evidence,” Harrison says, deadpan. “Financial trails. Emails. Affidavits. Even footage. The photos were just an amuse bouche. You wrecked your husband’s career, lied to Gavin about why he left, manipulated the entire board for years, and covered up vehicular homicides, accidental drownings, and other deaths.” He narrows his gaze on her. “I don’t bluff, Vivian.

One leaked audio clip and a round of HR whisper campaigns from Vivian’s best friend, and I was sure I’d end up unemployed, disgraced, and eating gluten-free freezer waffles in a bathrobe while the men I was absolutely-not-dating denied my existence to the press.Instead?VT Global’s new “radical authenticity” campaign is trending. We’re the face of it. Fluff pieces are rolling out every other day with headlines like “Modern Love at the Top: Can Poly Relationships Work in the C-Suite?” and “Three Men, One Baby, and a Very Efficient Calendar.” My personal favorite? “Who Needs a Glass Ceiling When You’re Sleeping with the Board?”That one made Jack spit his coffee across Harrison’s white leather couch.And the thing is?

I noticed none of that, my hands clasping the withered fingers of the woman lying in the bed before me.I can hear the rattle in her chest with each breath that she draws, and it is like a knife across my heart. She is living on borrowed time, and when her voice, weak and frail, reaches my ears, I want to collapse in her arms and weep.“Has Lillith a—arrived?”“Not yet, my heart,” I bring her hand to my lips and kiss it fervently.A lifetime we have spent with each other, an entire century, and our love has never wavered or weakened.

For every drop I lost, Robert was there to give me more. The recipe for the drug was found and burned.As I had suspected, there was no shifter blood in the drug. The version Robert had discovered had been planted to throw them off. Terrence had experimented with the drugs and had figured out that putting a vampire’s blood in the drug helped control the shifter who ingested it. But he had never accounted for me.An anomaly, as Ricky has put it. For some reason, the fact that I had both shifter and vampire blood was overpowering for the drugged shifters, and once they caught my scent when Terrence attacked me, their loyalty switch

Instead, it looks at me, as if asking me what to do.I call it a “creature,” but on closer inspection, I realize with disgust roiling within me what Terrence meant by enslaving the wolves. I’m looking at a wolf shifter in a weirdly transformed state. His eyes are dull, and I can see my reflection in them.What has Terrence done to them?!“Release me! "I am your master!

You didn’t even know that the prophecy was about me or that I was Jean’s reincarnation—”“I knew!” Terrence spouted out the words. I had Jean’s portrait. I knew what she looked like as a child, as a woman. The prophecy was that you would reunite with the animal Jean kept by her side. Did you think I was going to let that happen? I had to be the one to stand by your side. I had always been intelligent; I was ahead of every child my age. I had to be the one to rule this continent, the clans. It was my destiny!

The scent of cedarwood from Maron fills my nostrils, creating a strange combination of sensations."Doing what?" he asks.Is he playing dumb?My eyes flutter open and I turn to face him, taking in his defined jawline covered in rugged stubble. His posture is confident and commanding, oozing raw masculinity. Goddammit, this man must be the hottest creature on earth.And he's gazing directly at me."Doing what? Well, let me think. First, you scare the shit out of me by practically kidnapping me in the dead of night, then suddenly, you're all kind and caring, taking me to the hospital to see my mother.”

Scratch that, it's more than just a feeling – it's a desire to sing to him and only to him. There is something incredibly hot about standing on stage with him watching me. The mere thought of it makes me feel that familiar tingling down below.Cut it out, Mindy, this is not the time!As the final notes of my last song fade away, the bar erupts into a smattering of drunken applause and wolf whistles. Shouts and slurred words fill the air, and the audience's intoxicated enthusiasm is on full display."Encore, encore!" one guy yells, raising his beer bottle in the air."Sing us another one, gorgeous!" another calls out, his words slightly muffled by the din of the crowd."You've got the voice of an angel, babe!" a third chimes in, his eyes glazed over by a mix of alcohol and admiration.

The contract Maron Korolev gave me lies in the glove compartment of my car; signed.It wasn't an impulsive decision. I had been mulling it over for the last few days and always came to the same conclusion: it’s the only way. The only way to save my family. Even if it means sacrificing myself and my dignity.So, I took a deep breath and put my name on the dotted line.Then, I hid the blue folder in my car's glove compartment till I can give it to Maron. I should feel happy, right? Like I just secured my future. But instead, I can't shake off this feeling of unease. Have I just sold my soul to the devil? Is this really my only chance to fix things and escape the guilt I’ve been carrying for years? And did I just willingly make myself Maron Korolev's sugar baby?I shut my eyes, attempting to slow my breathing. It's pointless. My thoughts continue to spin, l

He's been in the chemistry game for decades, but he still acts like a kid with his first matchbox set whenever he sees results from his research.
