Chapter: Chapter 042*FREYA*“What is she doing here ?! ” Her voice comes out in a screech and it takes sheer willpower to prevent me from bolting. She prowls towards me, her claws visible under her sleeves. My legs can't move no matter how hard I slap them,so I stand rooted on the spot and shaking like a leaf with each predatory steps she takes toward me. But before she can reach me, mistress Lyra steps in front of me, shielding me. “Are you planning to attack the alpha's mate , Octavia?” Her voice is quiet but deadly, even Octavia shrinks back. “Are you on her side, Lyra? Have you forgotten what her kind did to us?” She snaps and I instinctively take a step back. “I still hate humans but you know what I hate more? Entitled brats like you who don't know their place.”Octavia cackles and I feel my blood freeze. “Looks like Kieran hasn't tamed you yet,” She taunts, her lips curling in a sneer. “I will help tame you. Just wait till I become the Luna... your Luna.”Mistress Lyra clenches her fist

Chapter: Chapter 041*FREYA* I peel the trousers down my legs and carefully loosen the breast wrap, my muscles aching with each movement. Then I lower myself into the tub, the warm water closing over my skin, easing the soreness from my limbs. I sigh in relief, pushing myself deeper into the warmth.This feels so nice.I shut my eyes, soaking myself in the feeling and just behind my lids, images start to flash.Claws ripping out bloody heart.The screeching sound that dig against the walls of my mind.The malicious look on that vampire's face as he's about to attack me.He looked at me like I was a piece of meat.The detached skin on the King's face and the way it returns back to his bone.The image of him sinking his fangs into my throat flash before my eyes and I jolt, my eyes flying open.Panting heavily, my fingers brush the stinging part of my neck.The mark is still there but two bite mark are on it.The sting flares up and I wince.What do I feel he's going to come back for me?That look in his

Chapter: Chapter 038*FREYA*The next morning, a set of fresh clothes is sitting neatly on the bed. I rummage through the pile , selecting the ones that are at least appropriate for running laps:fitted trousers, a loose tunic, and sturdy boots.At least these won’t trip me while I run.I change quickly, tugging the sleeves down to cover my arms out of habit. The fabric hugs me better than my old dress ever did, and for a fleeting moment, I almost feel… normal.Almost.My gaze drifts to the small mirror mounted on the wall.The girl staring back at me looks different.She looks determined.I suck in a sharp breath as I square my shoulders.I'm going to survive.When I step onto the training grounds, he's already waiting.But he isn't alone.Besides him is the man with green eyes so dark, they were almost black.The man who saved me from falling to my death.The Alpha's dark gaze travels down my form before he slowly nods in approval.My stomach flutters and I return the favor as well, letting my eyes trai

Chapter: Chapter 037*FREYA*“ I-uh-I... ” I splutter like an idiot, the words not forming. He takes a predatory step forward and I take one step back, my heart pounding slightly.His eyes narrow but he doesn't stop walking until I am caged by his arms on either sides of my head.“First, you crash into my life like a whirlwind,” he murmurs lowly, his breath brushing the shell of my ear. “And now, you waste my time.”“Uh-I'm sorry?” I mutter, unsure if I should apologize or just disappear. He says nothing as his gaze drops to my chest, before slowly trailing over my body like hot wind. I hold my breath as his eyes continue to kiss my skin, knowing I still haven't changed and that horrifying stench still clung like a second skin.But I'm too embarrassed to ask for a new dress.Then they darken and I almost jump out of my skin. His fingers reach out and trace my arm — the one with the scars. His lips doesn't curl in disgust instead he watches them with curiosity, stroking it gently with profound tendern

A Pawn In His Dirty Game
"Beg, Ursula," His voice dropped low. "On your knees."
I clenched my fist, every fibre in me itching to snap his neck. For my sister.
"Please."
He doesn’t just want her compliance—he wants her on her knees. And she swore she’d never beg anyone. Not even him.
Zachary Wellington; cold, ruthless, feared by everyone except one woman; Valerie Hampton, the one woman he despises so much since high school . He calls her Ursula — the villain in his love story and she calls him Dracula, the devil's spawn . She bullied his first love and she died when she discovered a secret about Valerie.
Years later, they meet again.
Only this time, it’s no accident.
Zachary orchestrated an arranged marriage to claim his billion-dollar inheritance .
Fueled by old wounds and a twisted thirst for revenge, he turns their union into a twisted game of chess guided by cold rules, where every move is calculated, and trust is a luxury both can't afford.
But what begins as punishment spirals into something far more dangerous: desire, obsession, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. From betrayal and childhood trauma to a violent heir lurking in the shadows, Valerie and Zachary are about to uncover a truth that could destroy them both.
Love was never part of the plan.
But in a marriage built on lies and vengeance, it might be their only way out.

Chapter: Chapter 065*VALERIE*Beep. Beep. Beep. The steady rhythm drilled into my skull, dragging me out of darkness.I groaned, trying to roll on my side but a sharp searing pain shot through my arm.My eyes peeled open. Everything was blurry at first. I blinked a few times, my eyelids feeling heavy and slowly, the fog cleared. Harsh fluorescent lights glared from above from the white unfamiliar ceiling.The sterile scent of antiseptic drifted through my nose.A thin tube trailed from my wrist, connecting to the beeping machine.My throat felt like sandpaper...dry and scratchy.I swallowed hard, trying to piece together how I got here.Then it hit me all at once.Panic flared in my chest as I jerked awake.Someone groaned from my side. I stiffened.My head turned slowly and my gaze landed on a figure slumped over the edge of the bed, his messy curls falling over his face.His breath was even, his lips slightly parted as he snored softly.Zachary.His name left my lips in a whisper.Unconsciously, m

Chapter: Chapter 064*VALERIE*I froze, the cold metal pressed against my temple. My eyes squeezed shut, my heart pounded violently. This is it. I'm going to die. “Lower your guns.. or I blow off her skull.”No one moved. Gareth's fingers pressed against the trigger as he cocked the gun. The officers lowered their weapons and my eyes widened in fear. What are they doing? “Step back! ” he barked and they followed his orders.Then he backed away slowly towards the waiting car, the muzzle of his gun still pressed to my head. He pulled open the car door and shoved me inside like a ragdoll. Pain shot through me as my injured shoulder made contact with the leather chair. Without waiting for a second, he swung into the driver's seat and stepped on the pedal. The engine roared to life. Tires screeched as the car lurched forward away from the clearing into the moonlit road.Bullets rained after us as the officers open fire.A bullet hit one of the side mirrors but that didn't stop Gareth.He drove li

Chapter: Chapter 063*VALERIE*“You really think you can escape from me, huh?!”Gareth's hand striked my cheek and I hit the ground from the impact.Tears burned my vision both from the pain from my shoulder and the crushing weight of despair. I clung to his leg, my voice breaking from desperation. “Please, let me go,” I croaked out. “I won't say anything, I promise.”He crouched lower to meet my eyes, his lips curled into a sneer and his eyes...they gleamed dangerously in a way that sent chills down my spine.“You really want to go to him that bad?” he sneered, grabbing my jaw. I winced as his grip tightened, forcing my gaze to meet his.“Too bad, you belong to me now,” he whispered darkly, then shove me aside.A whimper escaped my lips when his fingers grazed my shoulder, the very one that was injured. Just then, the door bursted open with a force that made the hinges squeak and two of his men stumbled in.Gareth turned sharply to his men.“Did you find her?” he demanded.“Yes, boss. She already mad

Chapter: Chapter 062*ZACHARY*I sprinted into the police station when I made sense of Ian's text. He found the necklace which means there was progress. For the first time in days, I felt hope but it all drained away when my eyes landed on a frail girl, curled up under a thin blanket in a far corner. She hugged her knees, whimpering.Ian met me halfway from the corridor. His eyes were hollowed, dark circles around them like he hasn't slept for days.“Who is she ?” I asked, clearing my throat to mask my disappointment.He stared at me , his jaw tight.“That's Valerie's sister,” He answered, raking a hand through his disheveled hair. “She’d been wandering for hours. The tracker kept changing locations, so I tracked the signal. Turned out she has the necklace.”My feet moved swiftly.I didn't look at the uniformed officers milling about. I went straight to her.Her eyes were unfocused until they locked on me.Something like recognition flickered in them—Which was odd because I had never met her—and then t

Chapter: Chapter 061*ZACHARY*“Is it true your wife fled because you were abusive?!”“Do you have anger issues, Mr. Wellington?!”“Did you really stop taking your pills?!”Reporters swarmed me like bees, shoving their microphones into my face, flashes exploding in every direction.Their voices melted into one chaotic buzz, each question sharper than the last.One of my men stepped in, forcing them back, clearing a narrow path for me through the madness.News of Valerie's disappearance leaked to the press after I made a report to the cops.They went into work immediately, dispatching their SWAT team to Fort Tilden.I wanted to come along.I couldn't bear doing nothing but the officer in charge sternly warned me to stay put.Now all I can do is wait for their response, even if it killed me every second.I kept my head down as I pushed through the sea of cameras.Flashes lit my vision like lightning, every one of them capturing the worst version of me.The man who couldn’t protect his wife.The monster the

Chapter: Chapter 060*VALERIE* Cara whimpered as she clutched me tighter. Gareth had striked her cheek for talking back at him. “You coward!” she snarled and his fist connected with her cheek. I shielded her body with my arms as it absorbed her tears. Gareth straightened, running a hand through his hair. His lips curled into a cruel grin. “You should have laid low,” he hissed, grabbing her jaw harshly. I tried to step in but he shoved me aside. “We both know you were adopted just to be her plaything.” I froze. How did he know Cara was adopted? I was the only one who knew apart from my father. Cara only discovered it when she fell so ill and needed a blood transfusion. Our blood didn't matched hers . So I told her the truth. “It's not true,” Cara whimpered, her eyes brimming with tears. “You really think you're her sister? You are just a pathetic orphan!” Gareth taunted and I lunged at him, grabbing his arms. “Stop... please,” I begged desperately, tears burning the back of my vi
