Chapter: Love and LegacyChapter 69: Love and LegacyThe hunt was swift, and soon the four returned, joining the celebration. Little Malcom stole everyone’s attention, charming the guests as he slept peacefully in his stroller. Jade, ever vigilant, kept her eyes on both the baby and the festivities, not wanting to miss a single detail of the event.Stella, meanwhile, received countless compliments for her flawless organization of the event, which filled her with genuine happiness. However, some guests still brought up Perla, comparing how parties were organized in the past and commenting wistfully about how she would have been happy at a moment like this.The repeated mentions of Perla began to grate on Stella. Those speaking seemed to forget everything that had happened. Determined to voice her stance, Stella raised her voice firmly."Honestly, I don’t think Perla would feel proud or pleased about this event. After all, she was against my union with her son and never accepted that the king had a mate. Taylor

Chapter: RitualThe signal was given, and everyone took their places. Brian was already waiting at the altar, eagerly anticipating Stella’s arrival, while Andriel and Taylor entered together, hand in hand. Though Andriel outranked Taylor in the hierarchy, walking side by side was a clear statement that he didn’t see Taylor as lesser. To Andriel, Taylor was his equal, and he wanted them to be seen as such by all—not just as a couple, but as rulers.At the altar, they stood shoulder to shoulder, turning to witness Stella’s entrance. As she walked down the aisle, illuminated by the flickering torchlight, Brian’s smile widened. His heart raced, and his inner wolf howled in ecstasy. To him, Stella looked more breathtaking and radiant than ever.Stella’s dress was simple yet elegant, fitted to her body down to her knees before gently flaring out, with a long train that trailed across the grass, strewn with rose petals. In that moment, she was the epitome of beauty and grace. Brian’s heart swelled with prid

Chapter: Good NewsNight fell, and the peak of the moonlight approached. The forest surrounding Andriel’s house would be the perfect setting for the ceremony. Both were ready, having dressed together in the bedroom, with no surprises in their attire since they’d chosen matching styles."I didn’t think you could get any hotter than you already are," Andriel said, pulling Taylor close by the waist, "but seeing you like this, dressed up, I realize I was wrong.""So you find me more irresistible with clothes on?" Taylor teased with a playful smile. "I thought you preferred me without.""Well… I’ll admit, without clothes, you drive me crazy," Andriel confessed before kissing him passionately."If you keep this up, we’ll end up late for our own ceremony," Taylor said, adjusting Andriel’s tie with a tender touch. "You just saw me naked in the shower, and we made love under the water. I think we can wait until the wedding’s over, don’t you?"Andriel sighed, feigning disappointment at Taylor’s refusal, but he kn

Chapter: PreparationsThe two made love for a while longer after their first time. Afterward, Andriel rested his head on Taylor’s chest, and they lay in silence, savoring the moment together. Taylor ran his fingers through Andriel’s hair, his mind clouded with swirling thoughts."You’re awfully quiet," Andriel said, curiosity in his voice. "What’s on your mind?""The ceremony," Taylor admitted, revealing his concern. "Do you think they’ll accept it? You saw how they reacted at the meeting."Andriel propped himself up on his elbows, fixing Taylor with a steady gaze."I know many still resist," he said, "but I made it clear I won’t tolerate any more interference. If it’s just the two of us during the ritual, that’s enough for me. What matters is making our bond official, strengthening our union."Taylor felt a surge of joy at Andriel’s determination. The fact that he was resolute about moving forward with the ritual, without hiding their relationship, filled him with happiness."When are you planning to hold

Chapter: RewardTaylor did as Andriel asked. He didn’t put on any clothes, staying on the bed, still wrapped in the towel, waiting for him. The wait wasn’t long, and soon Andriel appeared, wearing a robe and drying his hair with a towel. When their eyes met, the desire between them was electric.“I’ve been waiting a while,” Taylor said with a mischievous smile. “I’m eager for my reward. You said I was a good boy.”Andriel tossed the towel aside and began crawling across the bed toward Taylor. His gaze, feline and brimming with desire, betrayed his excitement to reward his mate.“Yes, you were a good boy,” Andriel murmured as he drew closer, softly kissing Taylor’s foot.That single gesture was enough to set Taylor’s body ablaze, and he smiled as he watched Andriel trail kisses up his ankle. Andriel continued, moving slowly, his eyes occasionally meeting Taylor’s, savoring every expression of pleasure and anticipation.“You know your touch alone drives me crazy,” Taylor said, almost pleading. “So plea

Chapter: MalcomTaylor relaxed his body, signaling he wouldn’t resist and would behave, prompting Andriel to finally release him. Without a word or a glance back, Taylor opened the door and left. Though he understood the need for the punishment, the frustration of having his pleasure denied by Andriel still gnawed at him.The two left the building and headed straight to Andriel’s house. During the drive, Taylor stayed silent while Andriel took a few calls. Andriel glanced at him several times, noticing his irritation. Despite the love he felt for Taylor, he knew it was necessary for him to understand that there were rules to follow and that everyone was watching them.When they arrived, they noticed some activity in the house. Hugo explained that they were preparing the baby’s room, where Taylor had previously stayed. Upon hearing this, the two went upstairs to check on the progress. Taylor’s belongings had already been moved to Andriel’s room, and with a few changes, the space was starting to take s

Chapter: Feeling SpecialAdam paced back and forth, restless. The thought of Samantha getting hurt because of him was eating him alive. Worst of all, the guilt—he knew it was his fault. If he hadn’t flagged her down that night and forced his way into her car, none of this would be happening.But then another thought slipped in: if it hadn’t been for that exact mess, he never would’ve met her.“Calm down, Adam. You’re gonna give yourself a heart attack,” Sophia said.“They should be here any minute, and Doc Carlos too. I called him like you asked,” Caio added.Adam went to the window again, staring out like he could will the car to appear. Caio and Sophia exchanged a quick glance. He looked away fast. Every time their eyes met, he felt exposed. She was beautiful, and being secretly in love with her made him terrified he’d give something away—and she’d tell Adam.Caio stepped back and dropped into a chair. Standing there stressing wasn’t going to make them arrive any faster.The irony? The people waiting anxiou

Chapter: Gathering InformationSabrina stormed into Oliver’s apartment, already fuming. He hadn’t come to pick her up himself—just sent his goons.“How could you not come get me from that clinic, Oliver? You sent your lackeys? Is that how you’re gonna treat me now?” she snapped, voice loud and sharp.Oliver shot up from his chair and clamped a hand around her throat in one fluid move.“Who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that? Just because you spread your legs for me doesn’t mean you get to mouth off whenever you feel like it. Don’t kid yourself thinking you’re anything special. I put you in my bed—I can kick you out just as fast.”He let go. Red marks bloomed where his fingers had been. She coughed hard, hand flying to her neck.“Now get out of my sight. Guest room tonight. I don’t want you anywhere near my bed,” he said, dropping back into his seat like nothing had happened.She stormed into the guest room just like he’d ordered, still clutching her throat where the red marks lingered. Oliver wa

Chapter: Testing the WatersSamantha eased the door open, slow and cautious, half-expecting the wrong face on the other side. When she saw it really was Adam’s guy, she pulled it wide.Fear was written all over her. Marcos clocked it immediately and kept his voice low.“My name’s Marcos. I’m getting you out of here and to somewhere safe. Like I said, we need to move fast. If there’s more of them outside, it’ll get ugly.”Her eyes dropped to his hand—the gun steady in his grip. His words didn’t do much to calm her. This whole thing felt like some bad action movie: break-ins, slaps, criminals chasing her. All in one night.She stepped out behind him. Marcos noticed her staring at the gun, then at the two bodies sprawled on the floor.“Stay close, right behind me. I grabbed your car keys. I’m on a bike, but you’re in no shape for that. As for these assholes—they’re not dead. Just out cold. After what they pulled here, especially with you, Adam’s gonna want a little chat with them.”She hadn’t said a word to him yet

Chapter: Surprise AttackSamantha stepped inside, dropped the grocery bags on the kitchen counter, and headed straight to the bathroom to start filling the tub. Her purse (phone inside) stayed on the table.She walked to the bedroom, already tugging down the zipper on the back of her uniform dress. The fabric slid off her shoulders and pooled at her feet, leaving her in just underwear. She bent to pick it up, completely unaware of the eyes watching from the cracked-open wardrobe.She grabbed the silk robe hanging on the door and slipped it on, then padded back to the bathroom to adjust the faucet. The tub was almost full. Everything was ready for the long, relaxing bath she’d been dreaming of.On the table, her phone buzzed like crazy. She didn’t hear a thing.Adam was the one blowing it up. The second Marcos reported intruders and dead guards, he’d started calling nonstop to warn her she was in danger. No answer. His gut twisted tighter with every ring.Outside, Marcos had already slipped into the backyard,

Chapter: Heading HomeThe IV bag finally ran empty. Samantha stared at it, counting the seconds until someone came to free her. She was desperate to get home. Staying in that hospital one minute longer, especially with the risk of Douglas showing up again, felt unbearable. She needed space, silence, her own four walls.Lucky for her, the door opened and Pedro walked in, flashing the biggest grin the moment he saw she was awake. His presence was the only bright spot in this place.“Ready to blow this joint?” he asked, all energy.“Beyond ready. Get this needle out of my arm already. I need to get the hell out of here.”Pedro caught the edge in her voice instantly.“Okay, what happened? Why the rush to escape? Hot date with your ‘boyfriend’?” he teased, jumping straight into it.“He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my boss,” she muttered, clearly annoyed.Pedro plopped down on the edge of the bed (IV already out) and crossed his arms.“What do you mean, your boss? The guy looked ready to throw hands with Douglas rig

Chapter: MarcosMarcos finished his shower, threw on fresh clothes, and headed out of the guest room toward the grand staircase of Adam’s mansion. Halfway down the hall, he ran into Sophia, who was also heading for the stairs.“Where you off to, squirt?” he teased, pulling her into a bear hug and planting a kiss on top of her head.“I stopped being a squirt a long time ago,” she fired back, pointing at how tall she’d gotten.“To me, you’ll always be my little squirt. Quit dodging. You sneaking out?”“Nope. Waiting for Adam to get home first. I want to see with my own eyes that he’s okay and that bullet really wasn’t a big deal,” she said, worry creasing her face.Marcos stopped on the step he was on, pulling back in surprise.“Wait… you’re telling me Adam got shot? What the hell happened?”“Caio didn’t tell you? That snake Sabrina was cheating on my brother with Oliver and set him up,” she spat, pure disgust in her voice.“I was on a job. Guess they didn’t want me distracted. Where is he now?”“I don
