Chapter: CHAPTER 85Chapter 85Adrian povAdrian sat at his desk in the quiet of his study. The city outside glimmered faintly, the lights of Adove’s towering building reflecting against the glass like scattered stars. The hum of distant traffic, the occasional honk, and the low murmur of New York city at night created a backdrop of stillness that he almost welcomed. Almost.Tonight, however, the usual comfort of solitude felt different. It wasn’t calm rather it was reflective, tense, full of thought. He had spent days, even weeks, replaying every moment with Christine at the lake house. Her voice, her words, her guarded expressions and all of it haunted him, but not in a way that twisted him with anger. No, it was a sharper, more dangerous feeling it was a mix of awe and fear, respect and regret.For once, Adrian wasn’t thinking like a CEO. He wasn’t thinking about board meetings, profit margins, or the future of Adove. He wasn’t thinking about strategic decisions or corporate dominance. He was thinking

Chapter: CHAPTER 84Chapter 84Christine’s povChristine stepped off the train and felt the city swallow her whole. The familiar hum of traffic, the low chatter of people on the sidewalks, the smell of wet sand and early coffee all this should have felt comforting. It didn’t. Instead, it left a hollow ache in her chest. The emptiness she had carried since leaving the lake house felt sharper here, where every building and street corner reminded her of him.She hugged her coat closer around her, though the weather was mild. Her mind replayed every word from their conversation from the confession to the truths, the pain in his eyes, and the weight of her own. She had come seeking answers and had received them. But answers didn’t undo hurt. They didn’t erase betrayal. They didn’t make her trust him again.In thst lake house she has almost let her guard down and wanted them to go back to how they were before everything but she couldn’t still get past the betrayal and the lack of trust in her in not allowing h

Chapter: CHAPTER 83Chapter 83AdrianThe door closed behind Christine, soft but final. Adrian stood there long after she disappeared into the early morning darkness, his chest tight and his breath uneven. He didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He just simply stared at the empty doorway where the last piece of her warmth had slipped away.Her words still clung to the air like cold smoke.“You don’t get to buy forgiveness with truth.You’ll have to earn it. Slowly.Without control. Without games.”He had never been spoken to like that not by anyone and especially not by her. Not with such quiet certainty. Christine wasn’t angry. She was resolved. And that terrified him more than her anger ever could.For the first time in a long time, Adrian felt completely powerless.The lake house was silent around him, the kind of silence that made a man confront every thought he had avoided. The faint glow of morning light pushed through the windows, washing the room in pale gold. Nothing felt real. Nothing felt steady.Adria

Chapter: CHAPTER 82Chapter 82Christine Christine’s boots clicked softly on the wooden floor as she stepped into the lake house. The place was all too familiar. The walls smelled faintly of pine and old wood, the kind of smell that pulled memories forward before she was ready for them. Her arms were crossed over her chest, not to keep warm, but to keep herself steady. She was here for one reason only that was answers. Not forgiveness. Not reconciliation. Answers.The room was dim, lit by the dying embers of the fire Adrian had carefully prepared. He stood near the fireplace, his posture rigid but his face softer than she remembered. He looked up when she entered, and for a moment, the years they had known each other, the years of friendship and tension and love, pressed into the space between them.“Christine,” he said quietly, almost as if saying her name alone could make everything right.She didn’t answer. Instead, she let her eyes travel across the room, noticing the way he had arranged the chairs,

Chapter: CHAPTER 81Chapter 81AdrianThe road to the lake house was quiet. Too quiet for my liking. Adrian drove slowly, his hands firm on the steering wheel, his jaw tight. The sun was already soft and low, turning the sky a pale gold that gently touched the tops of the tall trees. But nothing inside him felt calm. Every turn, every curve of the narrow forest road made his chest feel tighter. He could hear his heartbeat faster than usual.He was not afraid of the road.He was afraid of what waited at the end of it.Or rather, who might not be there.The lake house sat deep inside the woods, a place that held more memories than any other part of his life. A place that once felt safe. A place that once felt like home because she had been part of it. Now he did not know what it would feel like. He only knew he needed to see her. Needed to talk. Needed to finally tell the truth without hiding behind pride, control, or power.He slowed the car when the house came into view. The wooden cabin stood near the e

Chapter: CHAPTER 80Chapter 80 Christine The world always seems to find out before I do.By the time I reach my office that morning, the headlines are already everywhere in the company flashing across news feeds, investor bulletins, social media threads that dissect every word like blood in the water.“Brian hale exposed; Financial sabotage within Dreamspace uncovered.”“Whistleblower inside source; Christaina Paige’s husband company Adrian kellerhams Adove protect Dreamspace assets . Is this declaration of love ?”“Christine kellerham formerly Paige ; The woman at the center of corporate scandals.” My name again. Always my name.Angela comes to her office she looks pale as she sets a stack of newspapers on my desk. “I tried to stop the reporters, Christy but they’ve been calling nonstop since sunrise. They’re saying—”“I’ve seen it,” I interrupt softly, fingers tightening around the paper. “Thank you, Angela. You can take the rest of the day off.”She hesitates, worry clouding her eyes. “Are you sur

LOVE IN VENGEANCE
Lisha was only a girl when the world she knew was shattered. Her people, the werewolves, were hunted across the land by King Camus and his brutal Royal Knight Hunters. Fueled by hatred and a dark prophecy that claimed werewolves would one day rule his kingdom, the king led the slaughter himself.
On that blood soaked day, Lisha hid beneath a farm shed with a handful of children and a pregnant woman, forced to watch as her parents, were chained in silver and killed before her eyes.
Years later, she disguised herself and infiltrated the royal palace, determined to kill the man who destroyed her family and her people.
But the palace held more than enemies. There, she met Prince Lucan, the king’s son who is different from the rest, kind hearted and trapped in a world he didn’t choose. As Lisha's hatred burned, so did her heart begin to open. What started as a mission for revenge became a journey of unexpected love and sacrifice.
Together they face betrayal, war, and blood. With the help of werewolf warriors and loyal allies, Lisha helped defeat the true enemy, Lucan's cruel brother and changed the fate of the kingdom.
In the silence after the storm, Lisha stood by her parents grave, unsure if they’d approve of her love for a human prince. A hidden message from her mother revealed that she was always meant to be queen.
Now, with peace restored, Lisha finally embraces the love she never thought possible and the destiny she was born to fulfill.

Chapter: CHAPTER 10- LISHAThe moment was gone. Whatever chance I had to strike him disappeared in that instant. He was too alert. His guards were stationed just outside the door, one sound, one movement out of place, and it would all be over.So, I did the only thing I could. I turned and walked away.My steps were shaky as I went out of the room reluctantly. My heart felt heavy in my chest, my fingers trembling as if I had fought a real battle. When I reached my room, I shut the door quickly and leaned against it, gasping for air I didn’t realize I’d been holding.I slipped the ring off my finger, and stared at it for a long time. Just one scratch, and it would have been over for him or for me, but I couldn’t do it.I told myself it was caution, but deep down, I knew it was something else.I sat there until the candle burned low, thinking about what had just happened. I had failed. Yet I was still alive. And somehow, that felt worse, because now he thinks I'm some kind of sex worker that wants it favor also a

Chapter: CHAPTER 9Chapter-9-LishaI didn’t understand why I felt unease every time Prince Lucan crossed my path. My wolf stirred restlessly, refusing to calm. I was not easily frightened, yet something about him scare at me from the inside.I forced myself to appear calm. Fear will increased the suspicion they already had. One of Leon’s men had been shadowing me these past days. A skilled warrior lurking behind me, l couldn't even did as if I've noticed without betraying myself? That morning, as I dressed, I caught my reflection in the small mirror. I had become pale, yet my frame is still heavy by my father’s standards. A warrior should be light as a feather, he used to say, laughing at me. My mother would have fretted over my face, smoothed my hair with her hands. The thought of them broke me. Tears slipped down before I could stop them. I wiped them away fast, fixing my hair until no trace of weakness remained.At the clinic, there wasn't much work to be done.By midday, Leon called me.“Lisha. My

Chapter: CHAPTER 8Chapter-8-Lucan“How are we going to go with the attack?” my second-in-command, Toffar, asked as we mounted our horses at first light. Behind us, the men were already assembled, we were all set to ride toward Windborn village.I swung onto my horse, gripping the reins with confidence. “What do you mean, how? We ride as we always do. Steel and fire.”He gave me a look, but said no more. Behind us, the men were already mounted, rows of iron and leather gleaming faintly. The sound of horses snorting and stamping filled the silence, hungry for the road.We rode hard. Hooves thundered against the earth, the wind stung our faces, but I've always enjoyed the smell of nature. No one spoke. Every man knew what waited at the end of this road.But when we reached Windborn, it wasn’t war that met us, it was silence. The village lay open, and strange. No cries, no clash of steel, no villagers scattering before our blades. Only the echo of our horses steps.I slowed my mount, scanning the huts. A f

Chapter: CHAPTER 7Chapter-7-LishaCarefully, I tiptoed back from the door and slipped through the narrow back entrance of the clinic. I pressed myself against the wall at an angle, just far enough that anyone who opened the main door would not see me. I forced myself to hold my breath, every muscle in my body was stiff with tension.The door creaked open. A soldier stepped inside, sword unsheathed, his sharp gaze sweeping the space I had just been standing in moments ago. He frowned, lowering his blade slightly as confusion spread across his face. “I thought someone was here,” he said.The others came out of the clinic. Prince Lucan himself came out, His eyes followed the direction of the soldier’s blade before drifting toward where I hid in the shadows.For one moment, I thought his gaze stayed too long.Then he said calmly, “Maybe not.”The soldier stepped back uncertainly, sheathing his sword.Lucan turned to Leon, who had followed them into the corridor, and spoke with casual authority. “Tomorrow,”

Chapter: CHAPTER 6Chapter-6-LishaThe next morning, I made sure to resume early, arriving before most of the staff. Leon was already there, seated by the long desk in the clinic, going through records. His head lifted the moment I stepped in.“You’re early,” he said with a smile.“I thought it's the best thing to do.” I replied simply.“Good,” he said, pushing aside the book he was writing on. “Come, let’s start with the routine checks.”He handed me a small tray of instruments, and together we moved from patient to patient, checking bandages, changing wrappings, listening to complaints. Leon spoke softly to each one, while I passed him some herbs. For a brief moment, it almost felt normal.But not everyone saw me that way, from the corner of my eye, I caught the disapproving stares. Two nurses whispered near the shelves.“She's a mere slave ” one said silently, not even bothering to lower her tone when I passed.“She didn’t even impress at recruitment,” the other added, rolling her eyes. “And yet here

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Chapter 5 – LishaThat night, I set out on the road. The air was cold, biting at my cheeks as I walked. My boots crunched softly on the dirt path, and for hours, silence was my only company. Then, faintly ahead, I caught the glow of a lantern swaying in the darkness.An old man was walking at a careful pace, leading a mule stacked with bundles. He stopped, tilting his head toward me.“Traveling alone at this hour?” he said gently. “That’s dangerous.”I slowed down, unsure whether to respond. His eyes, however, carried no threat. When I caught up, he reached into his sack and held out a piece of bread.“Here. You look like you could use it.”I hesitated before taking it. “Thank you.” I said silently.We walked side by side. He spoke now and then, asking about my journey, but I gave little more than short replies. My mind was elsewhere, heavy with thoughts I couldn’t share.When we reached a fork in the road, he stopped. His lantern light cast shadows across his wrinkled face as he stud
