Chapter: ~HUNDRED-FOURTEEN: MRS LINA SINCLAIR~Arya~“Who is that?” my mom mouthed, narrowing her eyes at me. I sat upright, a frown forming on my face. What did Lina mean by that statement? What the hell was she planning now?“I’ll make sure this doesn't die down,” she continued. “I will do all I can to bring you down. You’ll regret ever messing with me.”“What is your problem, Lina? Haven’t you done enough? What else do you want from me?”“I want you gone,” she yelled maniacally. “I want you to suffer double of what I suffered. You have such a peaceful life. You don’t deserve to, Arya. You deserve the worst things on earth?”“Who the hell is that?” my mom snapped. She snatched the phone from me and placed it against her ear, but it was pointless, as lina already ended the call. With a deep scowl, she demanded. “Who on earth was that?”“It was nothing, mom,” I replied hastily, getting off the bed. “I need to go now."“Where do you think you’re going?” my dad thundered. I cleared my throat, heaving.”“Dad!” I called. “I really h

Chapter: ~HUNDRED-THIRTEEN: DOOMED~Arya~“What!”Edgar sprang away, his hands clenched into fists. “Why? Didn’t you say you’d separate Lucien and Arya?”“Did I?” My father mused with feigned thoughtfulness. “I did no such thing, Edgar, what are you thinking?"“Mr Manchester,” he groaned. “You have to be logical here. Lucien isn’’t the right person for the job. I will do better—” his voice broke. He bit his lips, tears rushing to his eyes. “You already made a promise to me. You can’t just go back on it now.”“Edgar Sinclair, what promise did I make?”“I did everything!” Edgar took a few steps back. “I tried to make you see me for the real me, but you don’t care. What on earth do you want me to do?”“I thought you did all those things because you care about my daughter.“I do care about her,” he yelled. “I know I made mistakes in the past, but I love her.”“Edgar,” my father whined. “You have to understand that you’re still on probation. I can’t trust you enough to hand over the company to you just yet, but if you feel

Chapter: ~HUNDRED-TWELVE: POWER OF ATTORNEY~Arya~“Yes sir, I think that’s the perfect way to go too,” Edgar's eager voice was the first I heard in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open. I stared at the blank ceiling, listening to their conversation subconsciously. I had no idea how or why I was in a hospital all of a sudden, but I was. And I had every member of my family with me.Regina and my mom were hurdled together, staying quiet as Edgar and my father spoke. I trailed my gaze to them. My father’s brows were pulled together, deep in thought. Edgar had his back to me, but I could tell that he was deeply engrossed in whatever they were talking about by his little mannerisms that gave him away.“Arya should be relieved of her duties,” he huffed. “She’s doing a lot for the company, but her health should come first. I haven’t been able to have this conversation with her because things are quite rocky between us now, but…” he stopped, scratching his nape idly. “I hope to, soon. Right now, she thinks I'm out to get everything she has

Chapter: ~HUNDRED-ELEVEN: STRESS LEVELS~Arya~Just before he could drive the car out of the lot, a black SUV swerved in the way, causing Edgar to slam down on the brakes quickly. I lurched forward, panting. The car in front of us slowed to a stop, and both doors were flung open.My father and mother stepped out, their expressions mirroring each other. They stormed to the car and pulled both doors open, their eyes blazing with anger.“Arya!” my mom pulled me into a tight hug immediately. I wrapped my arms around her, letting her scent fill my nostrils. She squeezed me to herself, rubbing her hand over the small of my back. “I rushed here as soon as I heard the news. Are you hurt?”“Just a little.”She pulled back, assessing my arm. “Oh, this is bad. Who could have done this?”“The police are investigating,” I replied. “I don’t know anyone who could have done this mom, but hopefully, we’ll find out soon.”Her eyes drifted over to Edgar. “You,” she snapped. What are you doing there? Why didn’t you take her to the hospital?”

Chapter: ~HUNDRED-TEN: SUSPECT MRS VALE~Arya~He was slipping up again, losing his composure. His nails dug into my skin. I school my expression, determined to not let any emotion of mine show. He was used to making me scared of him, so he could feel great about himself and do whatever he wanted without fail. This time, I refused to give him that satisfaction.“You can’t determine that, Edgar.”“We’re married. The law recognizes us as a couple. How do you expect me to feel when you keep hanging around your ex.”“I don’t even remember him.”“That’s what gives him the audacity to do all those things to you.” Edgar inched towards me, desperation flashing in his eyes. “I have said this countless times, and I won't get tired of saying it anytime soon. You can’t keep encouraging Lucien to do what he wants with you. He thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants because you give him leeway.”“Lucien is a good person."“That’s just what he pretends to be.”“He’s better than you,” I snapped, unable to stop myself. “Lucien is a

Chapter: ~HUNDRED-NINE: AN ALLY OR A FOE~Arya~Edgar gave Regina a onceover, snickering. “Didn’t you always hate my wife? Don’t think I was oblivious to how you treated her at the Auction that fateful evening. You ganged up with that scheming actress to humiliate her, yet you want to act like you are now?”“Watch your tone with my mother," Lucien cautioned him, his voice hard like steel. I stretch my uninjured arm wide, putting some much needed distance between them.“We’re in public, Lucien," I whispered to him. “With so much cameras around, we can’t give people a reason to gossip about you.”Fuming, Lucien backed down. Regina, on the other hand, took his place. She took slow steps towards Edgar, causing him to retreat in fear. “Who the hell do you think you are?” she questioned, her voice dropping to a whisper. “You dare to raise your voice at me?”“I…” Edgar cleared his throat, looking down at her. “I just think that you and your son should stay out of my business. I’m married to Arya for Pete’s sake. One would think it’

Doctor Luna: The Alpha’s Forsaken Bride
“I have no idea why we don’t feel that attraction that mates do for now, but you will be my luna, whether the moon goddess likes it or not.”
Fire flashes in her eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous, Kai. What about me? Don’t you care if I want to be your luna?”
“Oh I don't! Because I know you would. Resisting me is impossible, Valerie Manchester. Don’t bother trying to.”

Now face to face with the man who cast her aside and suddenly wants her back, she must make a decision to help or let him drown.
But there’s someone else who will do everything to make Valerie his. Fierce and loyal, ready to burn the world for her.

Chapter: 044: TASKSValerieMy head is a mess. I am overwhelmed trying to think of the reason Sebastian said all those things about me. I may have been apart from him for years, but I'd like to believe I know him well. He’s not the type to spread lies. He could be spineless and ruthless a t times, but he’d never ruin my reputation just for the fun of it.Someone cooked up those stories about me. If Sebastian believes it, then a lot of evidence must have been shown to him. One person comes to mind. Celeste Blackthorne.She’s a schemer. I know all her lies, including the fact that she never had a shattered bond to begin with. I wasn’t a reputable doctor in Bloodcrest for nothing. I could tell that beneath that weak front she put up, there were a lot of lies buried. But I didn't expose her. How could I? Everyone in the pack was on her side. The outcome wouldn’t have changed even if I had let them know that she was pretending.But Celeste couldn’t have pulled such a big scam off on her own. Someone bigger a

Chapter: 043: BASTARDKai“You never listened to me when I suggested joining the council, what changed all of sudden?” Peyton asks, a teasing undertone in his voice. “You were so adamant about leaving Ashville on its own that I gave up trying to convince you.”“No man is an island,” I tell him. “I deduced that quite later than you wanted.”“Alpha Kai, I don't think that’s the only reason.” He straightens, a knowing smile lining his face. “I heard a rumor. Valerie won’t be allowed to stay in Ashville if you’re not a member of the council. I’d like to believe that’s your driving factor for giving in.”It probably is, but it doesn’t mean I didn't weigh the pros and cons of my decision. Peyton has been right all along. Being on the council has a lot of advantages.It’s the day I officially become a member. Behind the wheel, Peyton stops the car in the parking lot of the hall and unfastens his seatbelt. “Should I wait here till you’re done, or you’ll like to drive with your Luna?”Resisting the urge to roll

Chapter: 042: TIME IS RUNNING OUTValerie“Seraphina, you’re suspended from duties till I say otherwise,” Kai instructs. “You’re to receive fifty lashes and be locked up for three days, with no food or water. I’m sure you know why you deserve such punishment.”Seraphina’s eyes widen in horror. She forces a chuckle, looking around, dazed. “Kai, that’s too harsh. You heard Jasper. I did it because he wanted me to. What exactly is my crime here?”“I do not believe a word Jaser says.” Kai crouches to her level, his voice calm. “I know my brother. He said all that he did to get you out of trouble, but I know he isn't such a schemer. I gave you a chance to say the truth, but you overlooked it. For that, you have to pay.”“This is too much,” she cries out. “Fifty lashes is a lot.”“You’re a warrior.” the words are out before I can stop them. “You can handle that much.”Kai snaps a finger. With that, three hefty guards advance and pull Seraphina away. I block out her screams and walk away, desperate to get out of there. It h

Chapter: 041: DIRTY TRICKSValerie“With all due respect, Alpha, there’s no reason for you to keep me tied up like this. I only followed the rules of the land. We have treated spies a lot worse than I did in the past. Why is it a problem when I treat Valerie this way?”Seraphina has been claiming to be right all day. According to her, she handled the situation according to Ashville’s laws. Lady Juliet is in a bind. As for Kai, it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking. Seraphina glances down at the chains on her hand, her lips curved up in a smirk. “You know you have no casse against me, Kai. why don’t you let me go?”I can’t help the bitter laugh that leaves my lips. “Seraphina, you accused me wrongly. You can’t frame me to be a spy without evidence.”“You were in a building which is out of bounds to everyone but the Alpha and section leaders. Even though I am a distinguished warrior of this pack, my access there is limited. Not everyone knows the password of that building. How did you get it?”“It was open.”“Di

Chapter: 040: NIGHTMARESValerieFor once after so many hours, there’s light pouring into the room. The place had been so dark throughout it was starting to get on my nerves. Tears stream down my cheeks as I stare at Kai. His jaw clenches. I feel his anger emanates from him in waves.Lady Juliet and the triplets rush in, their faces lined with worry. As soon as she sees me, Lady Juleit lets out a scream. “Valerie, what happened to you?”Kai rises to his full height, exhaling. As if on cue, the guards around sink to their knees. “Alpha!” the announcement in unison. “She was brought here as a spy. We were instructed to detain and interrogate her.”“Who ordered that?”The guards exchanged glances, obviously holding back on saying the truth. I force a weak smile. It hurts so much that a wince leaves my lips. Seraphina had done a good job of making me believe that Kai had me locked up.“Do not make me repeat myself.” The Alpha’s voice is calm, unusually calm. It unnerves even the guards. They bow deeper, their h

Chapter: 039: GREAT CONSEQUENCESValerieI can’t feel my legs. I can’t feel anything. My arms are numb. I don’t know how long I have been like this. For hours, I have struggled with lightheadedness. It’s probably due to the excessive loss of blood. I don’t know how long I can hold out again.“You still won’t confess?” seraphina say for the upteenth time. “You will not? You were caught red handed, Valerie. You snuck into Ashville, tried to seduce the Alpha just so you could get access to critical information. Won’t you confess?”“Why are you doing this, seraphina? You know I am innocent.”“I am not blinded by sentiments, Valerie. If the Alpha will make reckless decisions because of you, I will keep him in check. That is my duty as a warrior.”“You were demoted, weren't you?” I sneer. “Is that why you’re mad at me? I didn’t cause that. You chose to use your position to abuse me because you think I am here to take your place, and Kai taught you a lesson.”“Kai?” she scoffs, her eyes darkening. Rolling her eyes, she sm
