ASHER“Asher!!!” Luella’s shaky voice echoed through the air and my body stiffened. She had roamed into the enemy's territory during a war. Has she been caught already? I winced as I struggled to stand on my feet. The poison was starting to spread in my blood, and I needed to see a healer soon, but she could really die if I left her there.Goddamnit.My wolf whimpered at the thought of something happening to her and I didn’t understand why. I traced her scent into the woods, but the strong smell of rain, mixed with the earthy scent of the woods, made it hard. Her scent was wearing off and I wasn’t sure how long I could hold out for.“Luella!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, diving into the woods and hoping she hadn’t gone far. “Luella, make a sound if you can hear me!”I waited for a response, but nothing.“We have to save her. She can’t get hurt,” my wolf whined, his nervousness seeping into my consciousness. I paused, using my Alpha powers to locate her, when I sensed her presen

LUELLA A week had passed since that little encounter between Asher and me. He didn't show his face all week. Not even at home. I overheard Richard telling my mom that he had been practising hard for the games he had coming, but either way, school wasn't as tough as the first week.“You still haven't visited a lot of places in the pack,” Richard said over the table, forcing me into their conversation.“No,” I said flatly, stabbing the steak on my plate with a fork.“You haven't made any friends either,” my mom pointed out.This was the part where I ought to tell them to fuck off and stop acting like they cared when they were the ones who dragged me into this shitty pack in the first place, but when I saw the dreamy look on Richard's face when he looked at my mom, I was forced to swallow my thoughts.God, I hate it here.“Can I spend the weekend with Hallie or something?” I asked with a sigh. I’d lose it if I were to spend another moment in this forsaken mansion.My mom shook her head,

LUELLAAsher stormed out of the room after his remark, and I couldn’t help but notice the way his jaw ticked as he stepped away. This was just the beginning. Just wait until I have my wolf and can fight you fair and square.“Sounds like a death wish. You stand no chance against his Alpha aura let alone a real fight.”“Such a buzz kill,” Sabrina snorted. She picked up her bag from the floor and ran after Asher like a little pet.I’ll have to put that bitch in her place one of these days.“Okay kids, the class is over,” the instructor announced, shaking his head slightly. The students groaned as they picked up their bags and left one by one. I pushed myself up, dusting the dirt on my uniform when the instructor broke the silence.“Miss Rivers?”I looked up to see that he was already staring at me.“Y-yes, sir.”“I know adjusting to a new environment is not always easy, but I’d lie low if I were you. Those kids are not people you can mess with. Their parents run the city, and as for you…

MOCKERY OR TRAINING?LUELLAI didn’t bother to go for lunch after the stunt they pulled at the cafeteria yesterday. My legs were still shaky from the distance I had to walk to school. Just the thought of seeing him again made my stomach churn.Who was I kidding?I stepped into my last class to see everyone dressed as if they were going for a war. Leather suit pants. Jungle boots and… the ladies had their hair packed. Isn’t this supposed to be a normal class?“Miss Rivers, how nice of you to join us,” the instructor said with a smile. It was hard to tell if he meant it, considering the smirk on the student faces, and I could bet they were already planning something stupid.God, I missed Pineview High. At least I had my best friend and a few decent people to hang out with. Everyone here is a snob, and to think I’d have to see these faces for the next one year didn’t sound a bit exciting.“Are you sure you hadn’t stepped into the wrong room?” Sabrina and her minions stepped forward with

ASHERI knew exactly who she was the moment I laid my eyes on her. The girl who would compete with me for my father’s attention. Before I left for school this morning, my father had stopped me in the hallway for a ‘quick conversation’. I assumed it was about the upcoming Pack gathering. Those were the only things he usually bothered discussing with me.But the moment his smile faded, I knew something was wrong.“My woman and her daughter will be moving in with us.”Just like that. No warning, no discussion, and worse, he said it like it was already decided.My opinion clearly didn't matter, so I didn't give him one.I didn’t care about the woman. My father could marry whoever he wanted. We both knew the truth anyway. She’d only be there to warm his bed because his heart died the day my mother did.But bringing strangers into our home? Into our pack?That was different. It was unacceptable.From the moment my gaze locked with her curious one, I was determined to make life insufferabl

LUELLA “Do you know each other?” Alpha Richard asked, looking between us.I stopped breathing. Like actually stopped, because the boy sitting right next to me, the same one who took pride in humiliating me just a few hours ago was staring at me like I was the inconvenience. And worse? He was my mother's boyfriend's son.Oh my God.I laughed. Not because it was funny, but if I didn't, I might actually scream at the universe for having a sick sense of humor.Do we know each other? That's rich from a man who made my mother change my school, just so I could fit into their worlds, but I bit back my tongue before I could say something I'd regret.“Unfortunately.”My mom nudged my leg under the table. “Luella.”“What?” I shot back quietly. First she brought me to a different city against my will, and now, I have to stay under the same roof with this asshole?“Luella,” she warned.Asher leaned, frowning slightly, but he didn't look much surprised. Did he know who I was earlier then?Richard

CELESTE The building was empty by the time I arrived. It was not much of a surprise since no one comes to work during the weekend unless we have an event or something really important and we couldn't wait until Monday.I made my way to my father's office and I could hear muffled sounds down the hallway. He seemed to be having a heated conversation with someone but before I could pay attention to what they were talking about, the door swung open and Tristan stepped out.He forced out a smile that didn't reach his eyes as he walked past me. I looked back to see what the attitude was about. Tristan had been my father's secretary for as long as I could remember, and he was more like a big brother to me, so seeing his reaction immediately raised my suspicions.I pushed the door open to see my father holding a Zoom meeting. He lifted his finger, informing me to hold on before ending the meeting shortly after.“What is going on? I thought something had happened when you told me to come imme

CELESTEI hadn't slept once over the past few days. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw were images of Caspian and me, fucking in his office.If anyone had told me that a day would come when I'd stoop so low, I'd laugh in their face and tell them it was impossible.I wanted to blame my wolf for constantly giving me mixed feelings. I wanted to blame him too, but deep down, I knew I couldn't blame anyone but myself.The worst part was how my body had been aching for his touch ever since. I could still feel his imprint all over me and the shame wouldn't even allow me to look at myself in the mirror.“Are you listening to me?” Hilary snapped her fingers in my face, pulling me back to reality.“Huh? Yes. I mean—”She narrowed her eyes and I exhaled sharply. “Something is bothering you,” she said as a matter of fact. “You've been acting so weird since the day we went to the club with Simon. Did something happen? I heard that little whore showed up. Is this about Declan, then?”I shook m

CELESTE’S POV.With my blood still boiling through my veins, I stepped into Caspian’s sleek corner office, the city skyline glittering behind the floor-to-ceiling windows. I swallowed, my heart hammering hard against my ribs even though I kept my chin high, and my head up.I tried not to think about it, but thinking about the fact that this was the first time we’d be alone since those explosive arguments weeks ago where sharp words had been exchanged, lingering stares, and things left unsaid.“Business partners don’t play childish games, Celeste. Fix it.” My father’s voice rang in my head, and even though I’d tried to maneuver my way out of the situation, he had insisted that I handle it personally.I really didn’t want to be here, the last thing I wanted to do was face that prick, but with my father breathing down my neck, and business that needed to be discussed, I knew I couldn’t possibly escape this meeting.My eyes met Caspian, he sat behind his massive mahogany desk, dark suit j

CELESTE It's been a long day and I regretted taking a few days off work after the whole poisoning thing. No one else knew about it since I had just taken a sick leave and Caspian hadn't reached out to me since then.I knew I shouldn't have spoken to him the way I did because he was just worried about me but there was something about his voice that pushed me to the edge. Why would he even think Hilary would want to harm me? And asking about Simon out of nowhere just felt somehow too.Even though we've only known him recently, that didn't mean I'd start suspecting him for what happened after all, he had no reason to harm me.A part of me felt like he spoke to me in that manner because of what happened between us and I couldn't help but snap back at him.Neither of us has spoken about what happened at the club and I don't know which was worse. Pretending it never happened or avoiding each other right after having shared that intimate moment.I shoved the thought away before it could lin

CELESTE It's been a little over a day and I've been in bed. It was getting a little uncomfortable since I wasn't used to being bedridden, especially not in the hospital.My fingers twirled over the bright screen of my mobile phone as I checked through the news feed hoping to pass the time.The door opened and Hilary walked inside. I wasn't expecting her to come yet because the last time we spoke, she told me she was thirty minutes away. She took one look at me and her whole face crumpled for just a second before she controlled it. "You're awake," she said quickly.I pushed myself upright against the pillows. My arms felt a bit weak from lying on my side for a long time. The hospital bed was uncomfortable but I managed it. "You didn't have to come," I said, setting my phone aside. "Don't say that to me right now." She said, dropping her purse while she crossed to the chair beside the bed, dropping into it and leaning forward."What really happened?” She asked curiously. “I heard yo

CASPIAN Poisoned. The word echoed in my head like a broken disk. Celeste had been poisoned. My blood ran cold and for a terrifying second, I forgot how to breathe. Who poisoned her? Why would they go after her? What was their sick intention?My body shook violently as I stared at her pale skin. She looked devastatingly fragile lying on the hospital bed. A wave of anxiety rushed through me, choking my lungs as different thoughts invaded my mind.What if I hadn't called her tonight? What if this had happened while I was stubbornly trying to give her space after our argument? Who would have protected her then? The thought of something happening to her sent chills down my spine. My jaw clenched as I found my voice.“Are you sure you're not mistaken?” My voice cracked with emotions. “It could be just severe food poisoning. Do you want to run another test on her for confirmation?” “Of course not,” the doctor muttered, stepping back slightly and a knot tightened in my stomach. “I'd ha
