Werewolf Alpha CEO Hero/Heroin Face-Slapping Office Relationship Weak to Strong

Amara Cross sacrificed everything for her Alpha husband—taking a silver bullet that permanently weakened her wolf, enduring a pregnancy that nearly killed her, and shrinking herself for five years hoping to earn his love. Instead, she found him with his mistress and watched her five-year-old son call another woman "mommy." Broken and discarded, she walked away from the pack that never valued her. Three years later, Amara returns as a powerful tech mogul worth millions—stunning, confident, and untouchable. Everything her ex-husband said she'd never be. But her carefully constructed walls face two threats: Damien, who suddenly wants her back now that she's successful, and Lucian Volkov—a ruthless Lycan mafia king who's also her second-chance mate. Lucian is possessive, dominant, and refuses to accept her rejection. He sees through her armor to the terrified woman beneath who's scared of being destroyed again. Caught between a past that broke her and a future she's afraid to want, Amara must decide: will she let fear keep her alone forever, or will she risk everything to reclaim not just her power, but her heart? Sometimes the greatest strength is choosing to trust again.

Pushed open the door.Kang stood beside the bed. Shirtless. Trying to pull off his pants. His face twisted in pain. The bandages around his chest were loose. Hanging."Uncle Kang! What are you doing?""Trying to—" Kang grimaced. "Trying to get cleaned up. I can't—I can't stand smelling like a hospital anymore.""You're supposed to call for help! Mom said no moving without—""I know what your mom said. But I'm a grown man. I should be able to take a damn shower without—" He tried to bend. Gasped. Nearly fell.Kai caught him. "Stop! You're going to hurt yourself worse!""I'm fine—""You're not fine! Stay here. I'm getting Mom.""Kai, don't—"But Kai was already running. Down the hall. Down the stairs. "MOM! MOM!"Amara appeared from the kitchen. "What? What's wrong?""Uncle Kang! He's trying to take a sh

Chapter: moving in

Chapter 61: Moving InSt. Mary's Hospital - One Week LaterAmaraI stood outside Kang's room. Hand on the door.One week unconscious. Machines keeping him alive. Doctors saying "stable" and "wait."I was tired of waiting.The door opened. Dr. Reeves smiled. "Ms. Castellanos. Perfect timing. He's awake."My heart jumped. "He is?""Just woke up. He's asking for you. And the boy."Guilt twisted sharp in my chest. "Can we see him?""Briefly. He's still very weak."I turned to Kai in the waiting room. "Baby. He's awake."Kai shot up. Ran past me into the room.I followed slower.Kang lay in the bed. Eyes open. Pale. Weak. But alive."Uncle Kang!" Kai rushed to the bedside. "You're okay!"Kang's eyes found Kai. Something in his face softened. "Hey, kid. You alright?""I'm fine. Because of you." Kai's voice cracked. "You took the bullet. Why?""Because you're a good kid. And good kids don't deserve to die." Kang tried to smile. Winced. "Couldn't let your mom lose you. She's already lost enou

Chapter: the hero

Chapter 60: The HeroAmaraTime stopped.The gunshot echoed. Rang through the air. Through the building. Through my chest.Everything went silent. My ears ringing. My heart stopping.Kai.My baby.The police radios crackled. Voices shouting. Chaos. I couldn't hear the words. Couldn't hear anything except that gunshot replaying. Over and over and over.Then the screaming started. Students running. Officers moving. SWAT rushing in."WHAT HAPPENED?" I grabbed the nearest officer. Shook him. "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON?"He pulled away. Ran toward the building.Nobody would tell me. Nobody would look at me.That meant—that meant—"No." I shook my head. "No no no no. KAI!"I ran. Broke through the barricade. Ran toward the school. Officers yelled. Tried to grab me. I didn't care. Didn't stop.My son was in there. Shot. Bleeding. Dying.Or dead.No. Not dead. He couldn't be dead.I made it to the entrance. Saw officers bringing people out. Students. Teachers. All crying. All terrified.But not

Chapter: the show

Chapter 59: The ShowMin-junI stood in front of the mirror. Adjusting my tie. Practicing my concerned face.She thinks I'm bad.Maybe I am.The thought made me smile. Then I wiped it away. Replaced it with something softer. Worried. Caring.Perfect.I'd spent three days planning this. Every detail. Every variable. Every possible outcome.Amara needed to see me differently. Not as a threat. As a hero. Someone who'd sacrifice himself for her son.And I knew exactly how to make that happen.I pulled out my phone. Called my assistant. "Is everything in place?""Yes, sir. The men are ready. They'll hit St. Augustine Academy at two PM. During lunch. Maximum students in the courtyard."St. Augustine Academy. The most prestigious private school in the city. Where senators sent their children. Where CEOs paid six figures a year for security and safety.Where everyone would assume their children were untouchable.Perfect target."And the guns?""Blanks.

Chapter: the price

Chapter 59: The PriceAmaraI walked into the office at eight AM. Early. Before most of the staff arrived. I needed quiet. Needed time to think. To figure out how to handle Kang. How to protect Kai without proof. Without—Dimitri was waiting outside my door. His face was grim."We have a problem."My stomach dropped. "What kind of problem?""The Nakamura merger. Someone leaked our bid. The Japanese are pulling out. They're going with a Korean firm instead."I stopped. "What? How is that possible? That bid was confidential. Only the board had access.""I know. Which means someone on the board leaked it." He followed me into the office. "Viktor is calling an emergency meeting. Nine AM. They want answers."I sat at my desk. Lucian's desk. The leather was cold."Do we know who leaked it?""Not yet. But Amara—the timing. Right after we signed with Kang. Right after you started—" He stopped. "Right after he started getting close to Kai."My blood went cold. "You think Kang did this?""I thi

Chapter: the boy

Chapter 58: The BoyMin-junI sat in my car across from Kai's school. Expensive private academy. High walls. Security guards. The kind of place wealthy parents sent their children to feel safe.They weren't safe. Nowhere was safe. Not from me.The bell rang. Three-thirty. Kids poured out. Laughing. Shouting. Normal. Innocent.Then I saw him. Kai. Twelve years old. Backpack slung over one shoulder. Walking alone. No friends beside him.Lonely. The boy was lonely.Perfect.I got out of the car. Straightened my jacket. Put on my most charming smile. The one that made humans trust me. The one that hid the monster underneath.Kai walked toward the pickup area. Looking for his driver. The man was late. I'd made sure of that. A compelled phone call. An emergency that didn't exist. Simple manipulation.Now the boy stood alone. Waiting. Vulnerable.I approached. Casual. Non-threatening. "Excuse me. You're Kai, aren't you?"He looked up. Cautious. Smart kid. "Do I know you?""Not yet. But I kno
