Riven’s POVOver the next few days, Elara and Simon’s attacks through the media continued, becoming worse after Elara’s dramatic visit to my study.I still couldn’t believe she would side with anyone just to get back at me, let alone Simon who she hates.The memory of how everything started out between the three of us immediately surfaced. It was years ago. Before Sam or any of this.Before Simon had openly made himself my enemy, Elara had been his fated mate. Yet, she had rejected him… publicly.She had humiliated him not because she couldn’t bring herself to be with him. But because she had eyes on another… me.Ever since knowing Elara, she had always been attracted to power and status. And the thought of being the pack’s Luna drove her to developing an unhealthy obsession to me.And in her hunt for influence, she worked herself up the pack ladder… even to becoming my intended and the pack’s future Luna.And Simon, he never forgave either of us. Especially me. The rejection poisoned

Riven’s POVTwo days after the scare at the hospital, the attacks still hadn’t stopped. In fact, Simon had gotten even bolder.Thankfully, I had safely moved Clara and Sam into my residential mansion in the heart of the city. But things still appeared dangerous outside.It seemed Simon had adopted a new strategy… fish us out with disturbing headlines.This morning while sitting in my study, Karl hurriedly walked in holding up his phone to me.“There’s another one.”I looked at him, my brows furrowing.“Another what?”He pointed at the screen.“Another inappropriate article about Sam.”I collected the phone as he came closer. Then my jaw tightened with what I saw.Scrolled on, there were two more articles under and they were all nasty.“How many today?” I asked.“Four.”I looked up sharply.“Four?”Karl nodded reluctantly.“And do we know who exactly are publishing these… fake news?”“There suspicions. But I think we already know who it is.”I leaned back. Simon.But the funniest thing

Sam’s POVNora’s panicked voice continued from the other end of the line.“And…” Nora’s voice dropped further into a terrified whisper, “if I’m not seeing things, Sam, I think one of them is that ridiculously handsome friend of Riven’s.”I blinked.“Karl?”“Yes, Karl! That’s him!”I almost laughed out from relief. Riven was already watching me carefully, trying to determine what was happening.I rubbed my forehead.“Nora, it’s okay.”“No, it’s is not okay! They’ve been here for the past one hour. Oh my God, I’m calling the police!”“Stop. It’s actually okay.”“What? Why?” she inquired with an almost annoyed voice.I smiled despite the tightness I felt in my chest.“The men are there because Riven sent them.”There was a cold silence from the phone.Then Nora spoke.“What?”I explained everything to her quickly. My earlier attack, how Riven had arrived just in time to the rescue… not getting into the details though… and the security he has ordered for our protection.I also told her h

Sam’s POVThe kiss left me breathless.For a few precious moments, everything else had disappeared, all of it fading behind the warmth of Riven’s touch.When we finally pulled apart, his forehead rested against mine. I could feel his breath against my skin, his heartbeat too. I could feel the strange connection between us stronger than ever.Yet despite everything, one terrifying thought popped back into my mind. I broke the kiss instantly, then pulled away.“Riven?”His eyes immediately found mine.“Hm?”My fingers tightened around his shirt I was still holding.“Am I going to die?”The words came out quieter than I’d intended, and I noticed the effect they had on him was immediate.His entire expression changed quickly, the softness disappearing… not out of anger, but because he looked genuinely disturbed by my question.“Samantha...”But I cut him off.“I’m sorry I can’t help but think that. I mean, I was attacked today.”The memory sent a shiver through me.“Those wolves wanted me

Sam’s POVAs I tried to lean closer to know what was really going on in the room, the study door suddenly swung open. I nearly jumped out of my skin.My heart immediately started pounding as all three men turned toward me. Great… so much for sneaking around unnoticed.For a brief second, nobody said anything, and I just stood frozen there in the doorway. Caught. My gaze then instinctively found Riven’s.I noticed how a frown sat on his face from whatever argument had been happening before I interrupted them. For one terrifying moment, I thought he might actually be angry with me.Then he smiled at me and just like that, the tension disappeared. The hard look in his eyes softened almost immediately. The change wasn’t so obvious that only I seemed to notice it.Unfortunately, not everyone in the room looked nearly as happy to see me. The man standing closest to the door was looking at me. Not just looking at me, but really staring.And the look in his eyes made me uncomfortable. There w

Riven’s POVThe images of wolves chasing Samantha through that narrow street haunted me, along with the thought that if I had arrived a minute later…I took a deep breath in the attempt to wave the thoughts away. Every time I thought about it, my wolf stirred with rage within.My hands clenched into fists as I listened to the two men there in the study with me talked. One of them said something I didn’t catch, and then there was silence.I looked up and both Ivan and Karl were staring at me, clearly waiting for my response. But I ignored whatever it was they had been saying and lifted myself from the desk.“I’m going to make Simon regret ever coming after her.” I said, my jaws tightening.Simon Hunter had spent years trying to catch up to my influence in the basketball game. And also being the Alpha of Crimson pack, he has always looked to disrupt Valora’s dominance of Oceandale city.Mostly failing in both intentions, the man had grown bitter and vengeful over the years. And since he
