Chapter: Chapter 56RICHARD The little conference room in my office was already occupied when I walked in that morning.Seven members of the financial committee sat around the polished oval table, each with laptops, reports, and quarterly projections spread before them.I took my usual seat at the head of the table."Good morning, everyone."A chorus of greetings followed.I opened the agenda packet in front of me."Let's get started."The company had entered one of its most ambitious periods in years. Several major research initiatives were advancing simultaneously, and the board wanted detailed financial plans for the next quarter before authorizing additional spending.To my right sat Daniel Foster, the committee chairman.A meticulous man in his early fifties who seemed capable of spotting accounting discrepancies from a mile away.Daniel adjusted his glasses."First item on the agenda," he said. "Project Barbara."The large screen mounted on the wall immediately displayed a presentation.Project Ba

Chapter: Chapter 55FeliciaI was just a couple of hours into reviewing my research notes when my phone rang.Without looking up, I ignored it.My eyes remained fixed on the interaction chart on my computer screen while I highlighted several observations in a notebook.A few seconds later, the phone rang again.This time I sighed and reached for it.The moment I saw the caller ID, I sat up straighter.Nora.The realtor.I immediately swiped across the screen."Hello, Nora.""Good afternoon, Felicia," she said cheerfully."Good afternoon.""I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."I glanced at the research papers scattered across my desk."Nothing that can't wait.""Wonderful. I think I may have another property you'd like to inspect."My interest sharpened immediately."Oh?""Are you free in about an hour?""Yes, I am.""Perfect."I heard papers rustling on her end."This one is in White Marble Estate."A smile immediately spread across my face.White Marble Estate.I had heard about it countless

Chapter: Chapter 54FELICIAThe soft morning light filtering through the curtains woke me before my alarm did.For a few seconds, I remained in bed, listening to the quiet stillness surrounding the house. I heard a door close and the faint hum of activity beginning in the house.I stretched carefully before sitting up.Pregnancy had taught me many things.One of them was that moving too quickly in the morning was a terrible idea.After brushing my teeth and changing into exercise clothes, I rolled my birthing ball toward the center of the room."Let's do this."The words came out softly.The baby, fortunately, had remained cooperative lately.My lower back wasn't hurting.My sugar levels were stable.And my energy had been reasonably good.I sat on the birthing ball and began a series of gentle movements my doctor had approved.Slow pelvic circles.Hip rotations.Gentle bouncing.Nothing strenuous.Just enough to keep my body active.After fifteen minutes, I moved on to the resistance bands.I secured on

Chapter: Chapter 53RICHARDTwo days later, my driver eased the car into the parking lot of one of the city's most exclusive restaurants.I glanced at my watch.12:15 p.m.Fifteen minutes before my meeting with Raymond.The restaurant stood on a quiet corner overlooking a landscaped boulevard lined with palm trees and ornamental shrubs. The building itself wasn't overly extravagant, but everything about it communicated wealth. From the polished stone exterior to the valet attendants standing neatly at the entrance, the place catered to people who valued privacy as much as luxury.My driver stepped out first and came around to open my door."Thank you," I said as I got out.The afternoon air was pleasantly warm.I adjusted my suit jacket and headed toward the entrance.The hostess recognized me immediately."Good afternoon, Dr. Coleman.""Good afternoon."She smiled professionally."Prof. already reserved a table for two. Right this way."A waiter took over and led me through the restaurant.The lunch cro

Chapter: Chapter 52FELICIA Richard rested both arms against the edge of his desk and looked at me steadily.“You think suing them will complicate things?” he asked.The irritation I sensed in his voice had softened. “Yes,” I answered honestly. “I think it will.”I paused briefly before adding,“And I’m almost certain your board members won’t encourage it either.”A quiet exhale left him.“Yeah… speaking of the board,” he muttered.He ran a hand through his hair slowly, a gesture I was beginning to notice he did whenever something genuinely frustrated him.“It was actually the board chairman, Raymond, who brought the newspaper to my office four days ago to show me.”“I see,” I said quietly.That explained a lot.Not just his anger but the pressure beneath it.Richard wasn’t merely dealing with gossip.He was dealing with institutional scrutiny; corporate image and board politics.The kind of pressure that turned personal matters into business concerns.For a moment, he said nothing. He simply stared ah

Chapter: Chapter 51RICHARD “What are you going to do about the City Herald report?”Felicia’s voice cut through the silence of my office just as we finished reviewing the interaction chart displayed on my computer screen.I looked away from the monitor slowly.“Oh…” I said. “You’ve read it?”She stood across from my desk holding a blue research folder against her side, her expression calm but observant.“Who hasn’t?” she replied evenly.Fair point.It had been four days since the article came out, and instead of dying down like most media nonsense, it had spread like gasoline fire.Every gossip blog now has its own version.Some were even in more dramatic versions.Outrightly ridiculous!One headline had actually read:“The Billionaire Scientist With Secrets Too Dangerous to Reveal?”Idiots.I leaned back slightly in my chair, studying Felicia for a brief second.Unlike most people who brought up the issue lately, she didn’t look curious.Or entertained.Just analytical.“What do you think I should do

Chapter: Chapter 148KEALMy muzzle was slick. Her skin gleamed, scrubbed pink by my wolf tongue, every trace of my earlier release now vanished into my gullet.As I was looking at her in awe, I felt a wave that started at the base of my skull, signaling that I was about to transform again. It rolled downward, loosening the grip the wolf had on my bones. Fur retracted first, each silver-tipped strand drawing back into my follicles with a sensation like electricity running in reverse. My spine compressed. My jaw wrenched backward, shortening, flattening. The world dulled as my wolf senses dimmed, but something else sharpened: the specific texture of her breathing, the heat radiating off her flushed skin, the way her fingers had found my knot and were still stroking it even as the swelling tissue shrank beneath her touch.My knees buckled. I caught myself on the edge of the mattress, human again, gasping.Gina stared up at me. Her dark hair was a wild halo on the pillow. Her eyes, God, her eyes were black

Chapter: Chapter 147GINAThe bed sheets were damp beneath me. Not just with sweat; with us. With the evidence of what my Alpha had poured over my skin, still cooling on my throat, my breasts, and the crest of my belly.I looked up at him. At the wolf.Keal’s wolf stood over the bed, chest heaving, yellow eyes fixed on the mess he'd made of me. His tongue lolled slightly between those enormous teeth. The tongue that wrung two orgasms from my body not up to ten minutes ago. Now it hung there, dripping, and I wanted it on me again."Look at what you did to me," I whispered. "Look at this mess, Alpha."His ears swiveled forward. A low whine escaped his throat.I dragged one finger through the cooling stripe on my collarbone. Lifted it. Let him watch as I sucked it clean…slow, deliberate, my cheeks hollowing."There's so much more," I said. "And you're just standing there."The mattress dipped as he planted one massive paw on the edge. I shook my head."No. Not like that." I crooked my finger, beckoning. "Com

Chapter: Chapter 146KEALHer grip tightened on my ear.The tug was insistent, pulling my lupine gaze up from the glistening mess between her thighs to the dark heat still burning in her eyes. Sweat gleamed on her forehead. Her chest heaved. But hunger; that hunger was untouched, undimmed, blazing out at me like a second moon.“Let me suck that cock,” she breathed. “I want to suck my big wolf’s cock.”A sound rumbled up from my chest. Not a word I had no words in this form but something deeper, a vibration that started in my sternum and rolled through the room like distant thunder. My cock, already rigid and aching, pulsed against the fur of my lower belly.She saw it. Her tongue swept across her lower lip.“Help me up.”I moved backward off the bed, my claws clicking against the hardwood floor, then turned and nosed gently at her hip, her elbow, her trembling thigh. She moved slowly—five months of our child making every motion deliberate—and I stayed pressed close, a warm wall of fur and muscle she could

Chapter: Chapter 145KEALThe next day, Friday at night, the moon hung low and heavy outside the window, a fat pearl leaking silver into the room. I stood at the dresser, shirt half-buttoned, watching Gina’s reflection in the mirror.She was propped against the headboard, one hand resting on the impossible curve of her belly. Five months swollen. It was the last full moon before our baby would arrive. And I knew pack members would been gathering up by now on the eastern ridge. My chest tightened.“You’re staring,” she murmured, not opening her eyes.“I’m memorizing,” I murmured. “I want to keep this image of you, been pregnant with our baby my heart forever.”A small smile tugged at her mouth. “Go. They’ll be waiting for you, Alpha.”Then I caught it.The scent.It curled into my nostrils like warm honey and musk and something sharper beneath—something that bypassed my brain entirely and shot straight to my groin. My cock stiffened so fast I gripped the dresser’s edge.“Gina.”She didn’t answer. She didn

Chapter: Chapter 144KEAL'S The governing body meeting had gone on longer than any of us had anticipated.By the time Nathan officially declared it adjourned, darkness had already settled outside the council building. The discussions had been productive, though. We had finalized the budget adjustments for the second phase of the housing project, reviewed reports from the patrol team, and approved a few recommendations concerning the coming harvest season.I pushed my chair back and rose to my feet before walking around the table toward Gina.She had been sitting for almost two hours."Easy," I said softly, extending my hand to her.She smiled up at me."I wasn't planning on jumping up.""I know," I chuckled. "Humor me."She slipped her hand into mine, and I gently helped her to her feet.The moment she stood, she instinctively rested one hand against the small of her back.I noticed."You alright?" I asked quietly.She nodded."My back is reminding me that your child is almost here."I laughed."My child

Chapter: Chapter 143GINAI yawned for what felt like the tenth time in one hour that afternoon and leaned back carefully against my office chair, closing my eyes for a brief moment."My goodness," I muttered under my breath.I had never imagined that carrying a baby could make a person this tired. This pregnancy was totally different from when I was carrying Daniel’s pregnancy. Keal and I had returned from lunch a little over an hour ago. He had insisted we leave the office and eat at one of our favorite restaurants in town instead of having food delivered like we usually did.His exact words had been, "You deserve fresh air, sweetheart."I smiled to myself at the memory. He had become impossibly protective these past few weeks.Not that I minded.I shifted slightly in my chair.Immediately, a dull ache spread across my lower back."Oh..."I winced and instinctively pressed a hand against it."My back is officially protesting."My other hand drifted to my stomach.The bump was so prominent now that I co

Chapter: Chapter 177CARRIE Two weeks after Leo’s birthday, life had gradually slipped back into its gentle rhythm; work, home, laughter-filled evenings with my big and little boys, and the quiet comfort of routine. So when Anders called that Saturday afternoon, I didn’t think much of it. His voice was warm, steady, the same familiar tone he always used.“Carrie,” he said, “please be ready by seven. I’m taking you out tonight.”I smiled to myself. It wasn’t unusual for Anders to suggest a spontaneous dinner, especially after a long work week. He, Emmett, and Kwame had been attending a workshop all day, and I assumed he simply wanted a quiet evening with me. So I dressed the way I always did when he took me somewhere special, slipping into a soft champagne-colored dress that made me feel elegant without trying too hard. When he came for me he looked effortlessly handsome in a navy blazer and crisp shirt. His smile warmed me instantly.“You look breathtaking,” he whispered, his eyes twinkling.I flushed,

Chapter: Chapter 176SHANEThe world came back in pieces. The slick heat of her skin under mine. The heavy scent of sex in the air. The ache in my muscles. But the silence inside my head was already breaking, shattered by the echo of Anders' low chuckle, the phantom brush of his hand on Carrie’s back. I pulled out of Shelby slowly, my softening cock dragging against her swollen flesh. She made a small, satiated sound, but I was already moving, already consumed.My arms hooked under her knees and behind her shoulders before she could even catch her breath. I lifted her off the sofa. She gasped, her arms looping instinctively around my neck, her body pliant and limp from her climax. “Shane?” Her voice was a husky whisper against my throat. I didn’t answer. I just carried her the few feet to the open space of carpet in front of the cold fireplace and set her down on all fours.The position was stark, vulnerable. Her back arched, the pale, perfect curves of her ass on full display for me. The sight should hav

Chapter: Chapter 175SHANE My mind was so much coiling in tension by the time I finished up in my office later that day at the Blackwood Marketing headquarters. It was a physical ache, a hot coal lodged just under my sternum. I knew right then that I had to do something about it. And the only person who could douse the tension was Shelby. I called her and told her I was coming.I didn’t ring the bell at Shelby’s townhouse. I just pushed the door open. The familiar scent of her apartment hit me, soft and welcoming. It made me furious. I needed something harsher. Something real.Shelby appeared from the kitchen, a smile already forming on her pretty, practiced face. “Shane, you’re early. I was just…” She stopped, the smile faltering as she took me in. I knew what she saw: tie loose, collar undone, a wildness in my eyes that wasn’t usually there. “Shane?” she asked, her voice softer, cautious.I didn’t answer with words. I crossed the living room in three long strides to where she was standing, I wasn't g

Chapter: Chapter 174SHANE Board meetings were supposed to energize me.At least, they used to.The room was full by the time I walked in; sleek suits, crisp papers, polished laptops, and the subtle hum of controlled excitement. This was my company, different entirely from Blackwood Marketing. It was the baby Liam and I had built from scratch, from late nights to boardrooms, from nothing to global influence. An investment/private Equity firm; Aurion Capital. Normally, the numbers alone would have put a fire in my veins.Not today.“Good morning, gentlemen,” I said as I took my seat at the head of the long glass table.“Morning, Shane,” a few of them echoed, nodding respectfully.Liam, who worked as the CEO of Aurion slid into the seat next to mine, whispering, “We’re about to blow their minds with these numbers. Smile a little.”I tried. I really did. But the muscles refused to cooperate.The CFO stood first, tapping his tablet. “We’ll begin with the quarterly financials. It has been… exceptional.”Char

Chapter: Chapter 173ANDERSCarrie's house was quiet by the time I arrived. Leo had been bathed and was sleeping soundly, I didn't expect anything else. The little guy had a very hectic day. Sandy had retired too until the guestroom. Carrie was in the kitchen working on her laptop, her hair untied, the strands fell freely around her shoulders. She said a memo came in her email and she needed the quickly react to it.She looked exhausted, beautiful, but exhausted. My chest tightened at the sight of her. I hated the way the day had weighed her down, how she always tried to hide it behind a forced smile or a quick “I’m fine.” Tonight, she didn’t pretend. She just looked… tired.“I will draw a bath." I said quietly, stepping closer to kiss her on the cheek.She nodded, “thanks, sweet. I'm going to wrap this up in five minutes.”“Okay,” I said and left for the bathroom. I did my magic there and then returned to the kitchen to get her. She was logging off when I walked in. “Right on time,” she smiled tiredly a

Chapter: Chapter 172CARRIE If I thought the morning had been magical, the afternoon was something else entirely.The sun finally pushed through the gray clouds, coating the station grounds in a soft, golden glow that made everything look airbrushed and perfect, balloons glittering, streamers waving gently, children running in joyful chaos. Music drifted over the speakers, light and cheerful, the kind that made you want to sway without realizing it.Leo was having the absolute time of his life.I could barely keep track of him. One moment he was toddling toward the bubble machine with his cousins, giggling as bubbles popped right beside his ears, and the next he was in the arms of a staff member who had shamelessly asked, “Can I steal the birthday boy for one minute?”Everyone wanted to hold him. Everyone wanted a picture. Everyone wanted to make him laugh.And he gave them all of it; giggles, claps, open-mouthed smiles, tiny excited kicks.Sofia’s team had set up separate sections: a kids’ activity zone
