Chapter: 95ESTELLE POV“Don’t worry, Grandma,” Devon said, voice steady. “I’ll do whatever it takes to get her out of there. And it’s good to see you back to normal.”I watched him closely.The certainty in his tone.The ease in his promise.Disgusting.“Enough talking,” Grandma cut in sharply. “Have you already contacted my lawyers? They are far better than yours.”Devon nodded without hesitation. “Alright. I’ll give them a call.”Of course he would.He leaned down, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead before walking out, already dialing.I didn’t miss that.Didn’t miss anything.“You and Stella have gotten closer,” I said, my tone light but edged. “I didn’t know this.”Grandma didn’t even look at me. “Must you know everything?”My lips twitched.“No,” I replied, voice cooling. “But I thought we were aligned. You were the only one who could actually see things clearly back then.”Still nothing.“I thought you were smarter than this,” I added. “Smart enough to see past her act.”That got her at

Chapter: 94DEVON POV“Drop me off at the hospital.”Jonathan didn’t argue this time. He simply nodded, turning the wheel as the car veered off the main road. Rain still clung to the windows, softer now, but steady enough to blur the streetlights into streaks of gold.Neither of us spoke for the rest of the drive.When the car finally came to a stop, I stepped out without another word, the cool air hitting my face as I shut the door behind me. The hospital loomed ahead—quiet, sterile, almost too calm for the storm sitting inside my chest.I walked in. Past the reception. Down the familiar hallway. Straight to her room.I pushed the door open——and froze for a second.Estelle was already there.She stood beside the bed, arms loosely folded, posture relaxed like she belonged there.Like she had every right.“Estelle,” I said, my tone flattening. “What are you doing here?”She turned slowly, her lips curving into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “I just came here to visit Grandma. Why?” Her brow

Chapter: 93DEVON POVThe car door opened, and I slipped inside just as Jonathan pulled away from the curb. The moment it shut, the outside noise dulled into a low hum, leaving only the tension sitting thick between us.Jonathan glanced at me once, then smirked faintly. “You looking all pissed tells me things have gone south with your wife again.”I leaned back against the seat, eyes fixed ahead. “She asked me to leave.”His brows lifted slightly. “Should I ask the lawyer to come back?”“No.” My tone was firm. “Let him get her out.”The car merged into traffic, headlights streaking past us in long, blurred lines.“Why did she ask you to leave?” he pressed.I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I turned my head slightly, watching as the police station grew smaller and smaller in the distance, swallowed by the night.“She said I might not be able to handle who framed her,” I finally said. “And that I wouldn’t allow the person to face the consequences.” My jaw tightened. “I believe she thinks it’s E

Chapter: 92STELLA POVThe cell smelled faintly of rust and disinfectant—an odd, suffocating mix that clung to the back of my throat. I leaned against the cold wall, arms folded, forcing myself to stay calm.Devon stood just outside the bars, his presence as sharp and out of place as ever.“It’s okay, Stella,” he said, his voice lower than usual. “I’ve called Jonathan. He’ll get you a lawyer.”I didn’t even look at him.“That won’t be necessary,” I replied. “I can call my assistant. She’ll arrange one.”A beat of silence.“Yet she couldn’t find you a divorce lawyer,” he said, almost casually.My eyes lifted slowly to meet his.“And I believe that’s your fault.”He didn’t deny it.“It is,” he admitted after a moment. Then his tone shifted. “Look… just let me help. We work with the best lawyers. You’ll be out of here in no time.”I let out a quiet breath. “You say that like you’ve had experience.”His jaw tightened slightly. “I just don’t like seeing you in a place like this.”I looked away.“I’m g

Chapter: 91JONATHAN POV“Yay! I still got it!”The last pin dropped and I couldn’t help the grin that pulled at my face. That one felt good. Clean. Satisfying. Like everything lined up exactly how it should.I turned back toward Rina, expecting at least a little appreciation.Instead, she folded her arms.“Can’t you let your wife win once?” she asked.I blinked. “…No.”That came out immediately.She stared at me like I’d committed a crime.I sighed and leaned on the bowling ball rack. “Nice try. I’m not falling for that again.”Her eyes narrowed. “Again?”“Yes, again,” I said, pointing slightly as I explained like it was obvious. “If I let you win, you’ll get mad that I didn’t try. You’ll say I embarrassed you. Then you’ll demand I take it seriously. So I either lose on purpose and get scolded, or I win properly and get accused of showing off.”I nodded once, satisfied with my logic. “So no. We’re playing bowling. Properly.”Rina stared at me in disbelief.Then she muttered, “Find jerk.”I didn’

Chapter: 90STELLA POV“Are you happy now, bitch?”The voice hit first before I even fully turned.Estelle.I didn’t react immediately. I just looked at her, letting the silence stretch a little, watching the tension in her posture—arms folded too tightly, chin lifted too high, like she was trying to convince herself she was in control.“Now that Devon is gone,” she continued, stepping closer, “your true colors are coming out again.”I let out a small breath through my nose. “If you’re done performing, say what you actually came here for.”She scoffed. “Thank God I was cringing back there. I needed a bath after watching you act like that. You’ve got a shiny new spine now, don’t you? Good for you.”Her eyes narrowed slightly.“You were always pathetic back then,” she said. “But don’t cross the people you shouldn’t. It will end badly for you.”I tilted my head slightly, unimpressed.“Choose your battles carefully,” she went on. “Because one day, something will come and erase you. And your voice too

Chapter: At the BarAlpha Killian sighed then rested his head on his palms, his elbows on the desk. He was exhausted, not physically but emotionally. When he saw Kenzie for the first time in front of his office, the wave of electricity he felt was overwhelming. It was something he had never felt before. His knees were going to give up on him but fortunately for him, she left and he regained himself. As she left, he wanted so badly to run after her and claim her, he wanted to tell her not to ever leave him and wrap his arms around her and leave his scent all over her but he couldn't do any of it because Kenzie was a human. There's a law governing every pack to ensure that their identity is secured and they are all safe and that law is if any of them have a human mate, they must reject her immediately. The humans cannot feel the mating bond like they do hence their love is unrequited. It was too risky to make the humans fall for them and then tell them they were werewolves, the humans might not accept

Chapter: More!Kenzie dunk the entire glass of alcohol down her throat immediately the glass was set in front of her. "More!" She shouted then slammed the glass on the table in front of her, fortunately, the glass didn't break but it earned her a lot of stares from still sobbed people trying to enjoy their evening. A young man, in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up which exposed his muscles and had a lot of women at the bar swooning over him, he walked over to Kenzie behind the counter with a bottle of whiskey. "I mean, I know they didn't want to give me a chance in the first place but…" Kenzie trailed off with a slur in her words. The bartender pours her drink and then closes the bottle back. "But what?" The bartender asked, encouraging her to speak further, Kenzie blinked continuously as she struggled to keep her eyes open. "But what they did was too much! Why are they putting on a show like that? It's an interview to be a bodyguard!" She continued, her voice was very loud and the low m

Chapter: Beauty and the BeastAlpha Killian buried himself under the pile of paperwork on his desk but after a few hours, he was tired of going through and left his office. He went to the training room where he watched his bodyguards practice on treadmills, fighting rings, weight lifting, and sacks. It was a vast space with gym equipment and sweaty people. Gunshots can be heard close by and it's because the room beside this is a shooting range. "Alpha Killian, you requested for me?" Matthias, Alpha Killian's beta asked as soon as he was inches away from him. He followed Killian's eyes to the people training. "So I want to know how the new trainees are doing?" Killian said, still looking ahead. "They are doing great, even better than expected. They have a lot of zeal." Matthias responded and then pointed at five different people busy training. "They are the new trainees, two are at the shooting range. They are all around the age of 20 to 22." Killian carefully observed the five people Matthias had pointed out,

Chapter: The suffocating windThe wind blew angrily as it began to pour, air was suffocating to a particular someone. The noise from the downpour overshadowed all the chatters, sniffles, and sobs in the gloomy environment.A woman, in her mid-thirties, dressed in a black blouse and loose pants walked closer to Kenzie and took the umbrella she was holding, and opened it. She covered herself and Kenzie with it. "Stay under cover, baby." Kenzie's mother, Mrs. Whitney Davison instructed her, her voice was low and it was almost inaudible."My condolences." Someone walked to Kenzie and said softly as she patted Kenzie's back. She turned to Mrs. Davison and repeated her words. Mrs. Davison nodded but Kenzie remained silent, her gaze never let the tombstone in front of her. Down here it was written, 'In loving memory, Mr Andrew Davison. A kind and loving husband and father.' A tear rolled down Kenzie's cheek, her eyes were dark and seemed to have shrunk, her cheeks were bright red and her lips were wet but it wasn't lip
