Few years later, she returns as the CEO of an international empire, more powerful than anyone imagined possible. Her secret weapon? The little boy with piercing grey eyes who calls her "Mommy, he is the son of the man who destroyed her.

Chapter: Chapter 199: The CallBella POVMonths laterThe merger documents were forty-seven pages long. I was on page thirty-one when my phone rang.It was Silverton Primary and the time was 3:22 PM.I answered on the second ring. "Mrs. Black, this is the main office," a woman said. "We need to let you know that Tom didn't board the afternoon bus."I stood up before she finished talking. My chair rolled back, and my hand reached for my jacket on the door hook. Every alarm in my body fired at once, but my voice came out steady. "When was he last seen?" I asked."We are checking our attendance records right now, Mrs. Black," she said but her voice sounded strained. "We will call you back as soon as we have a location. Please try to stay calm.""Check well," I said, but the line went dead.I hung up and instantly dialed Caleb as he answered on the first ring. "Tom didn't come home from school."There was silence on the line then Caleb said, "I'm moving. Where are you?""Leaving the office now," I said, I jabbed the

Chapter: Chapter 198: Jade's Out bustBella pov The room was silent. "The jury will note," Ms. Osei said quietly, "that the defendant has not said she is sorry for what happened to the child." Jade looked at me. I looked back at her, I didn't feel happy that I won. I didn't feel sad. I just felt incredibly tired—the kind of tired you feel when you finally put down a heavy box you have been carrying for years. The courtroom was completely silent when it was time to announce the judgement. The court clerk stood up. "On the count of kidnapping, how do you find the defendant?" "Guilty," the foreperson said. "On the count of child endangerment?" "Guilty." "On the count of conspiracy?" "Guilty." "On the count of directing criminal conduct?" "Guilty." "On the count of attempting to flee when about to be arrested?" "Guilty." Jade did not move, instead she looked eerily calm. The judge looked down at her over his glasses. His voice was flat and cold. "Jade Hart, for these crimes, you have shown no remorse. This c

Chapter: Chapter 197: Jade's TrialBella POVThe courtroom was smaller than I expected.I don't know what I had imagined. Something grander, maybe. But Court Three was just a room with wood walls, bright lights, and the smell of old paper. Benches filled up with lawyers, reporters, and strangers who just liked to watch other people's disasters.I had been in courtrooms before for Richard and Victoria. I had always been calm and left without looking back. I told myself this would be the same.It was not.Jade was already there, she sat at the defense table. Her hair was shorter, she had lost weight, and her face looked completely blank and cold.I had thought about this moment in the car, in the hallway, and right before the courtroom door opened. I told myself it wouldn't bother me.It did.But it wasn't sadness or the old bond of being sisters. It was harder than that. It was a cold, sharp anger. I looked at the person who had put Tom on a concrete floor and saw she had the same blood as me.She looked at me like she

Chapter: Chapter 196: Family timeCaleb pov "He's very capable," she said. "But yes, he's five. This is a lot to carry.""He's working very hard not to show it," I said. "He catches the feeling and hides it before anyone can see. But i recognize that because i did the exact same thing at his age."Dr. Abara looked at me steadily. "What did it take from you?"I was quiet for a moment. "Years of not knowing what I actually felt," I said. "And a marriage that got ruined because I didn't know how to let someone in.""Is that what you want for Tom?""No," I said. "That's why we're all here every Friday. My father taught me that showing feelings was a weakness, and I believed him for a long time." I looked down at my hands. "Tom is not going to learn that. He is not going to learn that feelings are something to hide."Dr. Abara was quiet for a moment."You should tell him that," she said. "Not necessarily in a session, but when the moment is right."I thought about Tom on the terrace, figuring out that he could see the win

Chapter: Chapter 195: Healing TogetherCaleb POVI cleared my calendar on a Wednesday morning and told James I needed three weeks.James, my assistant of years, had never heard me ask for even one full week off. He was quiet for a long moment before saying, "I'll reschedule everything possible and delegate the rest. Is there anything else I can do?""Tom has therapy on Tuesdays and Thursdays," I said. "Make sure nothing ever lands on those days.""Done," James said.There was a brief pause before James spoke again."Sir," he said, in a careful tone. "I want to say—I think this is the right call."James never offered opinions on my personal life. In years of working together, he had always just done the job. It was why I trusted him completely."Thank you, James," I said."Tom is a remarkable boy," he said. "The whole office has been—we've all been thinking about him."Looking at all the new white space on my calendar, I felt a wave of complete, physical relief."Tell them thank you," I said.

"I can hear it.""Goodbye, Diana.""I'll bring wine," she said, and hung up.I set the phone down, finally letting myself feel the relief—a massive weight leaving my chest.From the living room, Tom called out, "Mummy? Where did you go?""Kitchen," I called back. "I'm here.""Can you come back? I woke up.""Coming," I said.Tom was sitting up on the sofa when I came back in. He looked at me with that same watchful, checking expression he'd had since coming home."You were on the phone," he said. "Was it about the bad person?"I sat beside him, and he immediately leaned into my side. "Yes," I said. "It's all sorted now. You don't need to worry anymore.""Are you sure?" he asked quietly."I'm sure."He

The Rejected Omega’s Revenge
They called her weak. They called her worthless. They should have called her Wynter.
Beatrice spent twenty years as Silvermist Pack's punching bag, mocked, starved, and worked to the bone. When her fated mate, Alpha heir Eamon Riven, publicly rejected her at her first shift ceremony, she thought her humiliation was complete.
She was wrong.
Because the "pathetic omega" everyone sneered at? She's actually the long-lost daughter of the most powerful Alpha family in the kingdom. And her four overprotective brothers, a ruthless Alpha Lord, a gifted Healer, a cunning Strategist, and a lethal Shadow operative just found her.
Now Beatrice is done being small. Done being sorry. And definitely done letting anyone disrespect her.
But between her groveling ex-mate who suddenly wants her back, a vengeful enemy plotting her destruction, and four brothers who terrify every man who looks at her, reclaiming her power is complicated.
Good thing Darius Veylor, the steadfast Beta with lovely eyes and a heart of gold, isn't afraid of a little chaos. Or four murderous brothers-in-law.

Chapter: Chapter 168 - The Heir ArrivesBeatrice POVI woke in the middle of the night to a sharp pain across my abdomen. For a moment, I just lay there, trying to convince myself it was nothing.Then another contraction hit, stronger this time. "Darius," I said quietly, shaking his shoulder. "It's time."He shot upright like he'd been electrocuted. "Time? Time for what? Oh gods. Oh gods. The baby."I would have laughed if another contraction hadn't stolen my breath.Darius exploded into action. He grabbed our prepared bags, dropped all three, ran straight into the door frame, cursed loudly, and tried to put on two boots at once."Breathe, love," I said through gritted teeth."I'm breathing. I'm fine. Everything's fine." He wasn't fine. He looked like he might pass out.He alerted the household by basically screaming down the corridors. Within minutes, my brothers appeared in various states of undress and panic.Theron arrived in full tactical mode, already organizing. "Corin, you're on medical. Kaelen, secure the perimeter

Chapter: Chapter 167 - Peace & PromisesDarius POVI woke before Beatrice every morning now. It had become my ritual in these final weeks of her pregnancy.I watched her sleep, marveling at the miracle beside me. Her belly was round and full with our daughter. Her face, peaceful in the early morning light, she was radiant.Sometimes I still couldn't believe she'd chosen me. This magnificent woman, powerful beyond measure, could have had anyone. But she was mine.The mate bond had deepened to something I couldn't put into words. I could sense her emotions like they were my own. Sometimes we didn't need words at all, just feelings flowing between us through the connection.Her eyes opened and caught me staring. "Creep," she said, but she was smiling."Can't help it." I leaned over to kiss her forehead. "You're carrying my pup. I'm allowed to stare.""You stare every morning.""And I'll stare every morning for the rest of our lives." I helped her sit up carefully. "How are you feeling?""Like I swallowed a melon." She rubbed h

Chapter: Chapter 166 - Two LunasBeatrice POVLiora's wedding day arrived wrapped in perfect spring sunshine. I woke early despite being six months pregnant and eternally exhausted. Today my best friend became my sister in truth.Darius was already up, helping with last-minute preparations. I found him arguing with Kaelen about flower arrangements."They're fine," Darius was saying."Fine isn't good enough. This is Theron's wedding. It needs to be perfect.""The flowers are perfect," I said. "Everything is perfect. Now both of you stop fussing and help me find Liora."I found her in one of the guest chambers, surrounded by half the female pack members. Everyone was talking at once, offering advice and help and probably making her more nervous."Out," I said firmly. "Everyone except Helena, out now."They scattered. Liora sat in front of the mirror in her ceremonial gown, looking terrified. "I can't do this," she said."Yes you can.""What if I'm not good enough to be Luna?" She turned to face me.

Chapter: Chapter 165 - Uncle Wars & PreparationsBeatrice POVI woke to the sound of arguing in the courtyard. Rolling over, I found Darius already awake and grinning."Your brothers are at it again," he said.I groaned and buried my face in the pillow. "It's too early for this.""It's nearly noon, love.""Still too early."But curiosity got the better of me. I dragged myself out of bed and to the window. Down in the courtyard, Kaelen was supervising several servants unloading a wagon absolutely packed with packages."What is all that?" I asked."Baby things, I'd imagine." Darius came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "He arrived an hour ago with three wagons.""Three?""The other two are being unloaded at the west entrance."I got dressed quickly and headed downstairs. The entrance hall was chaos. Packages everywhere, servants looking confused, and Kaelen directing traffic like a general commanding troops."Kaelen," I said. "What is all this?""Baby supplies." He beamed at me. "The little one needs options.""I'm o

Chapter: Chapter 164: Silas love storySilas povHer fingers slid down between us. The second she touched herself she whimpered, body jerking. I kept pounding into her, steady and relentless, watching her face twist with pleasure.“That’s it,” I growled. “Come for me. I’ve got you.”Her fingers moved faster. Her thighs started shaking. Then she broke—back arching, pussy clamping down so tight I could barely move. She cried my name, loud and raw, as she came hard around my cock, pulsing and soaking me.The squeeze, the heat, the sound of her—it ripped my own orgasm out of me. I slammed in one last time and came with a choked groan, spilling deep inside her, pulse after thick pulse until I was empty.We stayed locked together, panting. Her forehead rested against mine. Her fingers drew slow, lazy circles on my back while my cock softened inside her, still twitching with aftershocks.Neither of us moved to pull away."That was..." she started."Yeah," I agreed.She laughed breathlessly. "We destroyed your desk."I looked down

Chapter: Chapter 85Nicole pov But his voice from yesterday fills my head, how he asked me the question and I sat there and said no. I looked him in the eye and told him those children were Marlon's and I watched him take it. I thought I had more time. Oh God. Marlon. He is sitting on a bench somewhere in this building after telling Tate the truth. He held that secret for years, and I wasn't there when it broke. Tate's hands were on him in that corridor—or whatever the careful, diplomatic version of Amber's words meant. This is my fault, I press my palms flat against the wall and breathe. He kept my identity from Tracy, I think. From Lily. From Sophia. He had every opportunity to use it, and he didn't. And I repaid him by lying to his face about his own children. This is my fault. But at the same time, I was trying to protect my kids. I knew what I faced trying to escape from him. I breathe in for four. Out for four. In for four. Out. Then, I push off the wall and go to find Marlon. He is exac

Chapter: Chapter 84Nicole's POV Amber finds me in the lab at half past nine. I can tell from her face that something has happened. She has never mastered our institutional composure. Right now, she is trying too hard to look neutral, which means the news is big. I close my laptop. "Tell me," I say. She sits across from me and folds her hands. "Marlon called me a few minutes ago. He said he tried reaching you, but your line is unavailable." I exhaled. "I left my phone at the office, what happened?" "He asked me to find you," she says. "He wanted to warn you before you heard it from someone else." Something cold settles in my chest. "Warn me about what?" "Tate had the report this morning," she says. "The analyst's findings. There are no external records for the twins, he found Marlon in the lower corridor and confronted him." I go completely still, my heart beating faster. "Marlon said Tate already had everything," Amber continues. "The documents, the gaps, the timeline. He said the lie

Chapter: Chapter 83Tate pov I breathe out slowly. The report in my jacket is already confirmation, but hearing the words from the man who was there when they were born is different. "She lied," I say. "She protected them," he says. "She lied to my face." "Yes," he says, "she did. She will lie to your face again if she thinks it keeps them safe. I will stand beside her and let her, because that is what I have always done. That is not going to change just because you have a report in your pocket." He looks at me. "If you want access to those children, you are going to earn it. Not through lawyers. Not through alliance jurisdiction. You are going to earn it by being someone she trusts enough to let near them. That is going to take time, and you are going to have to accept that." "She should have told me," I say. "When?" he asks, and his voice is sharp now. "When exactly was she supposed to tell you? In the pack house where you controlled what she ate? When she was running for her life with a pregn

Chapter: Chapter 82Tate's POVThe report lands on my desk at seven forty-three in the morning.I have been awake since I left the conference room. I sat in my institute rooms with the lights on, and Storm pressed against the inside of my chest like something trying to break through a wall. I did what I always do when I cannot process something. I worked. I pulled every file the analyst had been building. I read every document, and I looked at every gap.There are a lot of gaps.A child's records, properly filed, leave traces across multiple systems. Pack registry, birth documentation, medical records from delivery, and vaccination logs in the alliance health network. It is a paper trail that begins at birth, accumulating naturally over years. What my analyst found for Rosy and Maple Carter is a clean, internally consistent set of documents. They exist only within the institute's own systems, with nothing before them, and nothing outside them.They were not born into the world. They were constructed in i

Chapter: Chapter 81Nicole's POVI don't sleep. I sit at the kitchen table for a long time after I get home, still in my work clothes, my hands wrapped around a mug of tea that goes cold before I drink any of it. The apartment is quiet after the twins go down. Usually, that silence settles me. Tonight, it just gives me too much space to think.It won't be funny.I believe him. Not because of the threat, but because of how he said it—quiet, controlled, certain. I can handle him shouting, but his cold intensity is something else entirely.I press my fingers to my mouth. Why did I lie?I was right there. I was about to say it, but I let the moment close around me. I said no, watched it register on his face, and I still don't know what I was protecting.The twins? Myself?The version of this that I can still control?Still, the lie held. He doesn't have proof—only instinct and a boy's face that looks too much like his own. Instinct doesn't work against me. By the time he finds anything, I'll have a plan. Ma
