Chapter: Chapter One SOLD TO MY BROTHER'S BEST FRIENDCHAPTER ONENALA'S POV"One more order and that's it tonight," Sue said from behind me, patting my back softly in the same motherly affection she'd always shown towards me."I'll try, Sue," I said gently, trying not to sound rude but letting her know it's not as easy as she thought."Cold beer. Table 12 is being dramatic. Nala, that's your cue," Angel, another coworker, announced as she stepped into the kitchen, gently easing her tray full of dirty glasses into the sink.It's Thursday night, but at Sue's it's like a Friday night with the crowd of people waiting to be attended to.I balanced two heavy trays of drinks in my hands like I've always done for the past five years since I turned sixteen. I moved into the suffocating area and gently navigated my way through the crowd focused on watching football and screaming their lungs out over players that didn't know about their existence.In between the tables, I dropped the necessary drinks where they bel

Chapter: Ever After EPILOGUE: EVER AFTERNOVA POV - ONE YEAR LATERI stood in front of my vanity, staring at the pregnancy test sitting next to my New York Times bestseller plaque.Positive.Again.A smile spread across my face as I placed my hand on my still-flat stomach. Baby number three. Grant was going to lose his mind in the best way possible."Mama! Dad said we need to hurry or we'll be late!" Phoenix's voice carried from downstairs, followed by Asher's. "And Uncle Luca said if we're late, he's making us walk down the aisle in pink!"I laughed, tucking the pregnancy test into my pocket. I'd tell Grant later tonight, after Luca's wedding.Chaos reigned downstairs, Grant was trying to fix Phoenix's bowtie while Asher spun in circles, admiring how his little tux jacket flared out."Boys, please. Stand still for two seconds." Grant's voice held that mix of exasperation and affection that had become his default over the past year.My husband. Still surreal to think about sometimes.The past year has be

Chapter: VOWSCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN: VOWSGRANT POVI got back to the estate at dawn, two hours before anyone else was awake.Bianca was dead.Not by my hand directly—I wasn't that reckless—but by my order. Luca's people had made it look like an accident. Carbon monoxide leaked in her hotel room. Her body had been found by housekeeping and there were no signs of foul play or any connections to me.It was clean like I'd promised and somehow I should have felt something like maybe relief, vindication or even victory.But instead, I just felt tired.I'd watched from across the street as the ambulance arrived, watched them wheel out the body bag and the police come and go, marking it down as a tragic accident.Bianca Elena Sonnie, the Mother of my disowned daughter and the woman I'd once loved enough to marry was Dead at forty-eight.And all I felt was empty.Ivin met me in the foyer. "Welcome back, sir. Everything was quiet here. No incidents.""The boys?""Still struggling. Phoenix had anoth

Chapter: FORGIVENESS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN: FORGIVENESSNOVA POVGrant had been gone for twelve hours. Twelve hours of me pacing the enormous house, jumping at every sound, watching the boys play with toys they didn't want in a room that felt like a gilded cage.Fuck. I was losing my mind.The boys were in the playroom with one of the nannies Grant had hired; another thing he'd done without asking me. Phoenix had finally stopped crying every few minutes, but only because he'd exhausted himself. Asher had barely spoken since we arrived.I missed Sam. God, I missed him so much it physically hurt.I missed Petals Creek, missed Mabel and the diner and my tiny apartment above the hardware store. Missed the simplicity of Elizabeth Moore's life.But Elizabeth Moore was dead. And Nova Hart was trapped in a mansion with a man who'd just left to commit murder.My phone buzzed. A text from an unknown number: I'm outside the gates. Security won't let me in. Tell them it's okay. - KatieKatie?I ran to the windo

Chapter: Home CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE: HOMEGRANT POVThe drive took four hours. Four hours of Phoenix crying for Sam, of Asher's silent, accusatory stares. Four hours of Nova looking like she might shatter at any moment.I'd imagined this moment for six years. Finding them. Bringing them home. Finally having my family.I hadn't imagined it would feel like a kidnapping."We're almost there," I said, trying to sound reassuring. Neither boy responded. Phoenix had finally cried himself to sleep against Nova's side, his face red and blotchy. Asher just stared out the window, his small hand gripping Nova's.She wouldn't look at me. Hadn't looked at me since we left that motel.When the estate gates came into view, I felt a surge of pride. This was what I could give them. Security, Luxury and A future without limits.The car rolled up the long driveway, and I watched Asher's eyes widen as the mansion came into view. Good. Let him see what kind of life they'd have here."Boys," Nova said softly, shak

Chapter: Blood and Moonlight Chapter 22: Blood and MoonlightMaya's POVPower flowed through my veins like liquid lightning as I began the ancient ritual. The symbols on my palms burned with the light of a thousand stars, and the very air around us crackled with divine energy. This was the moment I had waited centuries to witness, the awakening of a true vessel for the Blood Moon Goddess."Kneel," I commanded Liora, my voice carrying the authority of the divine.She looked terrified, her brown eyes wide with fear and uncertainty. But she obeyed, dropping to her knees in the center of the stone circle while Kael watched from the shadows."What's happening to me?" she whispered as frost began forming on the grass around her."Evolution," I said simply, raising my hands toward the moon hanging full and silver above us. "You've spent twenty years being told you were weak, broken, cursed. Tonight, you discover the truth."I began chanting in the old tongue, words that had been spoken before the first wolves learned to

Chapter: The Goddess’s whisper Chapter 21: The Goddess's WhisperKael's POVHer hand was cold in mine, trembling like a bird with a broken wing. But she'd made her choice, and that was all that mattered. I'd waited five years for this moment, five years of exile and transformation and planning and finally, the Blood Moon Goddess's chosen vessel had come to me willingly."Come," I said gently, guiding her deeper into the forest. "We don't have much time before they notice you're gone."Liora stumbled over a root, still weak from whatever the Council had put her through. I caught her arm, steadying her against my side. She was so fragile, so breakable, but I could feel the power sleeping beneath her skin like a banked fire waiting for kindling."Where are we going?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."To sanctuary. To answer. To the truth about what you really are."We walked in silence for several minutes, moving deeper into the ancient woods that surrounded the Northern Border territory. These trees had w

Chapter: Scent of Betrayal Chapter 20: Scent of BetrayalLiora's POVNo wolf scent.The words hit me like ice water, freezing me from the inside out. I stood in that ancient chamber surrounded by glowing runes and powerful elders, and all I could think was how wrong everything had gone."That can't be right," I whispered, my voice barely audible in the stone room. Elder Thorne's gray eyes studied me like I was some kind of specimen in a jar. "I'm afraid there's no mistake, child. You carry no trace of wolf essence. None at all."My legs felt weak. I wanted to sit down, to curl up in a corner and disappear, but the eyes watching me wouldn't let me show that kind of weakness."But I was born to wolf parents," I said desperately. "My aunt and uncle, they're wolves. Everyone in my village was a wolf.""Were they?" Elder Blackthorn asked, scribbling notes in his leather journal. "Or is that what you were told to believe?" The question made my stomach twist. All those years of being called cursed, of being different,

Chapter: The High Council’s Judgment Chapter 19: The High Council's JudgmentElder Thorne's POVThe silence in the great hall was thick enough to cut with a blade. In my three hundred years of life, I'd seen pack disputes tear apart territories, watched civil wars reduce mighty bloodlines to ash and memory. But I'd never walked into a situation quite like this one.The Northern Border Pack had been stable for generations. Strong Alphas, clear leadership, unwavering loyalty. The fact that they'd summoned the High Council spoke to just how badly things had deteriorated.I lowered my hood, letting my ancient face catch the firelight. Gray hair that had once been black as midnight, eyes that had seen the rise and fall of kingdoms, skin marked by countless battles and hard-won wisdom. Beside me, Elder Morwyn and Elder Blackthorn did the same, revealing the trinity of power that governed all werewolf kinds."Alphas," I said, my voice carrying easily across the hall despite my advanced age. "We received a rather urgent message

Chapter: Three ways to break Chapter 18: Three Ways to BreakDamon's POVThe great hall had never felt smaller. Thirty women stood before us like an army of judgment, their faces set with determination and fear in equal measure. At their head, Valeria smiled with the cold satisfaction of a hunter who had finally cornered her prey.I felt something crack inside my chest as I looked at their accusing faces. These were our people. Our responsibility. Our family. And they were demanding we abandon our mate to save ourselves."Speak," Rowan commanded from the high table, his voice carrying the authority of an Alpha, but I could hear the strain underneath. The mate bond was pulling at all three of us, Liora's distress echoing through our connection like a constant scream."We demand you release the cursed girl you've brought into our pack," Valeria announced, her voice ringing clear and strong across the hall. "She is not fit to be Luna. She is not even fit to live among decent wolves.""Explain yourself," Riven said c

Chapter: Rival’s Gambit Chapter 17: Rival's GambitValeria's POVThe feeling of being watched pulled me from sleep like a hand dragging me up from deep water. My warrior instincts, honed by years of training and combat, screamed that danger was near. I kept my breathing steady and my body relaxed, but my hand slowly moved toward the silver dagger I kept under my pillow.Through barely opened eyelids, I saw her.Liora stood at the foot of my bed like some nightmare came to life. Her brown hair hung loose around her shoulders, wild and tangled. But it was her eyes that made my blood run cold, they glowed with an unnatural red light that cut through the darkness like burning coals.Her lips were pulled back in something that might have been a snarl, revealing fangs that definitely hadn't been there during our last confrontation. Long, curved claws extended from her fingertips, and she held her hands up as if she was imagining wrapping them around my throat.Perfect.Instead of fear, I felt a rush of excitement
