"I am fine," Gabriella managed to say in between tears but she wasn't fine, she didn't feel fine, she looked like a mess, and she felt like it."It's okay not to be fine, you healed up pretty well, the doctor has reassured us that it won't leave a scar," Miguel reassured her."I killed them," Gabriella said, the memory of the car incident flooding her mind. "I shot them both.""It was either you or them, you did well. I should probably leave you to rest a bit, dinner will be served soon. If you hear the sound of the bell, just know it's time for dinner and you can come down," Miguel said. "Or will you prefer the maids to bring your food here?""No! It's...em..fine, I will come down," Gabriella nodded. She had been caged up in a room for so long that she couldn't imagine spending another day in one, it was best to come out and get some fresh air.Miguel nodded and gave her a reass

Gabriella gasped as she woke up, sitting up straight immediately and placing her hand on her chest. She had just dreamt of being chased down by Sebastian and Marco to be sold again at that clubhouse.She knew it was a dream but it felt so real that she found herself begging them not to take her back.Gabriella looked around her new surroundings, there was nothing familiar about it, it didn't look like she was back in Saviano's estate and it only made her breathing heightened, she placed her hand on her chest, trying hard to control her racing heart but it wouldn't stop.Gabriella suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, it startled her but she looked up hoping it was Enzo but to her surprise, she was staring at Miguel, her half-brother, who had a concerned look etched on his face. "Relax, breathe, you are safe now huh?" Miguel said rubbing her back.Miguel? Miguel was here? Gabriella thought to herself.

Gabriella paced around in the room, she felt her heart pounding in her chest, it felt like she couldn't breathe. She ran her fingers through her hair nervously, she could only pray inwardly that Enzo would come out victorious in the hunting game and not Matteo. Even Lombardi would prefer Enzo to Matteo in this situation.The sound of the door opening startled Gabriella and she feared Matteo was back already. She hurriedly sat down back on the floor, cowering in the corner, and remained silent but Matteo didn't step in, it was another man entirely, one that Gabriella didn't recognize.The man rushed to her side and began to loosen the chains holding her in place, Gabriella remained still not knowing how to react, who was this man? Was he here on Matteo's behalf? Or maybe he was one of Enzo's men who had come to secretly rescue her? But her thoughts soon died down when the man stood up putting a gun at her."Get up you who

As Enzo ran through the forest with Aleida's hand in his, he placed his hand into his mouth blowing a whistling sound through the forest, his men raced towards his direction at the sound.Enzo's men emerged from the trees, their guns blazing, taking down Matteo's men one by one. Alejandro rushed to Enzo's side, his eyes widened at the sight of Aleida in Enzo's hand, but he knew this wasn't the time to ask questions."Take her away," Enzo yelled at Alejandro handing Aleida to him, before dashing back into the other direction to find Matteo while his men and Matteo's men shot at each other.Enzo ran through the forest, he headed in the direction he saw Matteo run through. Enzo's heart raced with adrenaline as he chased after Matteo. He could hear the sound of gunfire and men shouting, but he didn't let that distract him. His focus was on finding Matteo and putting an end to this once and for all.As he

"You heard me, you piece of shit, don't move," Aleida yelled, she placed her hand on the trigger ready to fire."Piece of shit? That wasn't what you were calling me when I kissed those lips of yours, or when I fingered you in the bathroom of our-""Shut up!" Aleida interrupted him."Still a spoiled little brat like I remember," Matteo chuckled.Enzo couldn't believe what was transpiring between his own eyes, these two knew each other?"Aleida, what's going on here? Why are you here?" Enzo demanded, his gun still trained on Matteo. Were they in this together? No, that wouldn't make sense, Aleida had her gun pointed at Matteo.Aleida's eyes flashed with anger, but she didn't move her finger from the t

Enzo's actions sent a chill down the spines of the remaining men, including Matteo, who sneered at Enzo but continued into the forest.The game had begun, and Enzo was determined to win, not just for Gabriella, but for the revenge he sought against Matteo.As the men disappeared into the forest, Aleida's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with schemes to ensure Matteo's failure. Even though she wasn't pleased that the end goal was Gabriella, she couldn't imagine anything happening to Enzo.Meanwhile, the hunting game was unfolding in the forest outside Saviano's estate. Enzo moved with calculated precision, his senses heightened. He knew this wasn't just a game. It was a battle for Gabriella's life and his revenge.Matteo, on the other hand, was driven by his

“Rowan…” she whispered again, but her voice trembled. She didn’t even know what she wanted to say.He turned his head toward her, his expression softening as he caught the conflict in her eyes. “You don’t have to say anything,” he murmured. “I just needed you to know. If you still want to pretend this is nothing, I’ll respect that. But I can’t keep lying to myself.”Nia’s throat ached as she stared at him, her heart twisting painfully. The part of her that craved safety wanted to push him away, to protect herself before it got messy. But another part the quieter one buried deep inside wanted to stay right there, in his arms, in the warmth of something real.She took a shaky breath, her gaze dropping to where her

Ashera’s jaw dropped slightly, her heart racing faster. She blinked at him, torn between shock, embarrassment, and a flare of awkward amusement. Of course he would know. He was an Alpha. He noticed everything. But still, the casual way he said it, as though Rowan and Nia’s secret hadn’t been a secret at all, made her head spin.She lifted a hand to her forehead, groaning softly. “Oh my god… she was so dramatic about telling me, and you just….you already knew?”Darius’s smirk deepened, though his tone stayed calm. “Darling, I could have told you before she did.”_ _ _Back at the mansion,the world outside was silent, wrapped in the soft hum of night. The golden glow from the bedside lamps painted the room in warm, gentle shades, the air heavy with the quiet rhythm of steady breaths and the faint rustle of sheets.Nia lay tangled in Rowan’s arms, the sheets loosely draped over their bare bodies. Her head rested against his chest, feeling the steady thud of his heartbeat beneath her che

Her thoughts began to spiral. It hadn’t been easy living life believing she was human. She had stumbled through her days, always feeling a little out of place, never quite fitting into the world around her. Then came the truth, she wasn’t human. She was a werewolf. She had powers. Something ancient. Something powerful. Except she still didn’t understand her powers, still couldn’t control them. And now… now she was expected to become a Luna, a queen to a pack she barely knew, a pack that didn’t even know her.Her chest tightened, her pulse racing faster with each thought. The edges of her world felt too sharp, too heavy.Darius’s voice cut through the storm inside her, deep and sure. “I can hear your heart racing,” he said, his eyes locking with hers, grounding her instantly. “You do not need to worry about a thing. The affairs of the pack will always be in my control.”She swallowed hard, her fin

Her heart swelled at the word darling. He said it with such ease, as if the endearment belonged to her and no one else. Her pulse skipped, her thoughts tangled between delight and shyness. She lowered her gaze, fumbling for composure, though a smile betrayed her lips. “Very well,” she said softly, trying to sound braver than she felt. “I’ll do as you say. But don’t come crying to me when I’m done using you.”He leaned back into his chair, his smirk deepening. The way he lounged, so effortlessly in control, only made her more aware of the space he occupied. “Trust me,” he murmured, his voice dropping into something huskier, heavier. “I’d be tempted to see you try to make me cry.”Her heart nearly did a flip inside her chest. She knew

Across from her, Darius looked perfectly at home. His broad shoulders filled the chair easily, his dark shirt neatly pressed, his presence commanding the attention of anyone who glanced in their direction. Yet when his eyes softened as they landed on her, she felt like she was the only one in the room that mattered.The waiter had handed them menus, and Ashera’s eyes nearly bulged when she glanced down. Every dish had names she couldn’t even pronounce, and beside each one was a price that could probably pay for groceries for an entire month. She swallowed hard, her mind racing.Her inner thoughts tangled nervously. This is insane. People really pay this much for food? What if I order the wrong thing? What if I spill something on myself? Oh goddess, what if I don’t even like it and he notices?She bit her lip, peeking up at Darius. He hadn’t opened his menu yet, he was watching her instead

Nia let out another high-pitched scream, grabbing a pillow and smacking it against her own chest. “Are you kidding me right now?! That is so unfair! That is romantic and sexy and overwhelming all in one! Do you realise if a man ever did that to me, I’d faint, drown in the bath, and die happy?!”Ashera shook her head, laughing so hard her stomach hurt. “Nia, stop!”“No, I won’t stop!” Nia declared, eyes glassy with emotion but her voice still dramatic. She gripped Ashera’s hands again, her tone softening under the theatrics. “You deserve this. All of it. After everything we’ve been through, you deserve a man who looks at you like that, who gives you a ring like this, who makes you his Luna without hesitation. I’m so happy for you, Ash. Like, over the moon happy.”Ashera’s laughter faded into a warm, trembling smile, her throat tig
