Chapter: 93Ronan.I noticed it immediately, the subtle shift in her expression. It was as if a storm cloud had passed over her face, despite her best efforts to hide it. Kessa had always been good at masking her emotions, but this was different. I knew her well enough to see past the act.I dropped my cutlery with a soft clink, the sound cutting through the silence of the room. My instincts kicked in, and without thinking, I moved closer to her, crossing the distance between us in just a few steps."Did something happen?" I asked, my voice low, full of concern. I didn’t like the change I saw in her, her usual calm, confident demeanor was replaced by something more guarded, more anxious.Kessa tried to force a smile, the corners of her lips lifting just enough to pass for one. But even I, who wasn't always the most perceptive, could see the falseness of it. It didn’t reach her eyes. It was empty.I tilted my head, studying her face closely. "Don’t tell me that you’re okay." I added, my voice gent

Chapter: 92Kessa. Waking up to a view like this wasn’t on my list of things to experience. The sea stretched out endlessly before me, its surface shimmering under the early morning light. The soft, rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the shore was peaceful, almost hypnotic. But the real question was, could I really swim? I smiled at the thought. If I had been given the chance, I could’ve learned a lot of things. Maybe even learn to swim, if I’d ever had the freedom to do so. “You’re awake,” Ronan murmured, his voice a low, comforting rumble behind me. I turned, surprised by how he had snuck up on me. But then, I wasn’t entirely shocked. He was always present, always just there when I least expected. He stepped closer, and I could feel the warmth of his body through the thin fabric of my robe. “How are you feeling?” His breath brushed my ear, sending a shiver down my spine. “Good.” I told him honestly. It wasn’t a lie, but I couldn’t help the flicker of guilt that tugged at me. My

Chapter: 91Ronan’s POVThe journey had been long, the road winding through dense forests and open fields, until we finally arrived at the villa. Nestled far away from both our packs, the place was secluded, just what we needed. The towering, white stone walls seemed to blend into the landscape, with large windows that invited the view of the sprawling greenery outside. It was as though the world had paused, leaving us in a bubble of time where nothing else mattered.I could feel the weight of everything we’d left behind, and yet, here with Kessa, it was as if the world had softened. Her presence, her laughter, the way she effortlessly filled every space we shared, made everything feel light. I led her inside, the scent of the villa warm and inviting, the soft hum of the wind outside the only sound. It was peaceful."Here we are," I said softly, closing the door behind us. The villa was quiet, save for the distant chirping of birds and the rustle of trees in the wind. "It’s not much, but it’s ou

Chapter: 90KessaI had no idea what I was thinking when I agreed to follow Ronan. I had so much to do, so much that needed urgent attention. It felt like everything was piling up. Although it hadn’t reached my ears yet, I knew the council members were already talking.Those men would judge me, criticize me, and insult me. I could already hear their voices in my head, echoing the harsh words I had been dreading. But I shouldn’t be worried, right? I was used to it, used to everything they threw my way."My angel," Mother’s voice broke through my thoughts. "I see that Alpha Ronan has taken a liking to you." Her words were soft, but they stung in a way I wasn’t expecting.I let out a low groan. I was still in my room, packing. Even though Ronan had said it would be two days, I had already gone overboard, preparing more than necessary."He seems like a good man, but the stories." she trailed off, her voice filled with concern.Zipping up the luggage, I dropped it onto the floor with a soft thud. "Mot

Chapter: 89Naledi.I knew Ronan had left the house. I knew exactly where he had gone. How? Because I had planted a tracker on his phone, and there was no way he would ever figure it out.I stared at the food the guard had brought me, the bland meal sitting untouched in front of me. It had been four days since I'd been confined to this room, isolated, with only a sliver of sunlight to remind me of the outside world. Food and my phone were the only things I had access to, but that was a poor decision on Ronan's part. Maybe he didn't know I still had my phone, or maybe he did and just didn't care to address it."Are you sure you can't open the door for a few seconds?" I pressed send, smiling at the thought of how easily I could get under Beta Sage's skin.I had always known myself to be manipulative, it was the only way I knew how to get what I wanted. And it always worked."I can't. The last time I fell into your words, I faced a huge problem. So no." Beta Sage's reply came quickly, but it didn't

Chapter: 88Ronan."Hope I’m not distracting you?" I asked Kessa, my fingers brushing a stray strand of hair from her face.She looked beautiful, no doubt about it. But there was something about the way her eyes shimmered in the light, something I couldn't ignore. Every time I looked at her, there was a trace of Aurora in her. It gnawed at me, making it hard to move forward. It felt like I hadn't really let go, even though I’d told myself I had. I kept on reminding myself I had moved on, yet her face lingered in my thoughts."No, I needed the rest," Kessa breathed out, her eyes still closed, as if she were trying to find solace in the silence.I leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead, feeling the warmth radiating from her body. She was tense, more than usual. The weight of whatever was pressing on her was clear, especially when she had pulled me into that hug earlier, as if she might never get the chance to do it again."Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, my voice low and calm.I w

Chapter: 05Kai.I had been smoking since I left the house, trying to calm my nerves in the one place where my father's voice couldn't reach me. The alley was dark, quiet, and blessedly empty.Taking a long drag, I let the smoke fill my lungs before releasing it slowly. It was late enough that most people had gone to bed, which meant I could finally think without someone demanding something from me.My father had been relentless today, more relentless than usual, anyway.First, it was the same lecture about how being single made me weak. How not having a wife would cost me my title. Then came the blind date he'd arranged without asking, which I'd deliberately sabotaged because I wasn't in the mood to pretend to be interested in another woman he'd picked out.The fight that followed was inevitable."You keep this up and I am giving your title to your brother!" he had shouted, his face turning red the way it always did when he didn't get his way."Either find yourself a wife from the women I've cho

Chapter: 04Sofia.I had been trying to convince myself that Victoria's pregnancy was fine. That it was fine my husband was having a child with someone else. But the truth was, it still gutted me.I kept telling myself it would be okay that once she gave birth and left, things would go back to normal with Ethan, except nothing felt normal anymore.There was this odd feeling in my chest, like something didn't add up. I couldn't explain it, but every time I tried to push it aside, it crept back in. I attempted to focus on my duties as Luna, but even that couldn't distract me from the sense that I was missing something obvious."Just focus," I muttered to myself, forcing my attention back to the stacks of paperwork in front of me. But focus was harder than it should have been.I overheard the maids talking as I passed them in the hallway. Their voices dropped to whispers, but I caught enough."She has no idea," one of them said."There's going to be a new Luna. Everyone knows it."I stopped and turn

Chapter: 03Sophia.I jerked my hand away from him like his touch burned. "Don't," I said, and my voice came out smaller than I wanted it to. But, at least I said something, and I was still standing.Ethan looked at me like I had slapped him. His jaw tightened, but he didn't move closer. He just stood there, waiting. Always waiting for me to be the reasonable one."Sophia, please," he said. "Just hear me out." He pleaded."I don't want to hear anything from you right now." I pushed past him toward the door, but his hand caught my wrist. His grip wasn't rough. He wasn't capable of being rough with me, but it was firm enough to stop me. Firm enough to remind me that he was still the strongest person in the room. That used to make me feel safe."Let go," I said, trying to pull away."Not until you listen to me." His voice had that alpha command in it, the one that made pack members obey without question. But I wasn't a pack member. I was his wife, or at least, I used to be."Fine, talk." I yanked my

Chapter: 02Sophia.Seven days, that was how long I had been avoiding the place I once called home.I kept telling myself I was managing fine, that I could function, could do my job as Luna, could pretend everything wasn't falling apart. But the truth was much uglier, I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't eating. I was just existing in the spaces where Ethan wasn't.The Luna duties kept piling up on my desk. Pack matters, dispute resolutions, and charity events that needed planning. Things that used to energize me now felt suffocating, I would sit in my office for hours, staring at paperwork without actually reading it, my brain replaying that moment over and over like a broken record."The baby is mine."How long had it been going on? Days? Weeks? Months? Had he touched her the way he touched me? Had she heard the same words of love I thought were only mine?I had moved into the guest bedroom on the second night, telling myself it was temporary. Just until I could figure out what to do, but temporarily ha

Chapter: 01Sophia.The mansion buzzed with life in a way it hadn't in months. Staff moved around the house with so much energy, cleaning every single marble counter until they gleamed, arranging fresh flowers in every corner, and ensuring every detail was flawless and good to go. It was a chaos that felt controlled, the kind that came with preparing for an Alpha's return.I stood in the grand foyer, watching the frenzy unfold around me. A smile tugged at my lips as I observed our head housekeeper directing the maids with so much caution."The main house needs more cleaning." Mrs Chen, the head uttered to younger maids, pointing into the house. I loved how she had taken it upon herself to make sure that everything was sparkling and in place.But the question was, would he like it?She turned to me with a smile, as she had heard what i had said. "He will like, Luna. But not because of the flowers. He will be impressed because you are here, always."Heat crept up my neck as she pointed that out, a
