Chapter: EpilogueEight years later... Amaya's eyes followed me back and forth as I paced around my office nervously, " Your pacing is starting to get on my nerves" she said and crossed her legs on top of my desk. I stopped moving and faced her, " I'm so nervous. My heart feels like it's about to jump out of my chest. My palms are sweaty and I have butterflies in my tummy" I told her "oh I didn't notice" she said and rolled her eyes. Then she sighed and dropped her feet, " I know you're nervous but you need to calm down" " The easier said than done. Amy, it's been eight years since I last saw him, you can't expect me to be calm. I'm super worried. * Gasp* What if he doesn't recognize me?" I asked with wide eyes. Amaya scoffed, " I highly doubt it. Just because you lost contact with him two four years ago doesn't mean he'd forget you" I paused " You're right. I should just be calm. Yeah I can do that" I reassured myself. A slight kno

Chapter: Chapter Forty OneThe news of Reece apologizing to our teacher was the new topic of gossips by the end of third period. I rolled my eyes once again at the over exaggerated story. It was merely an apology, why do teenagers always make things seem dramatic.I understand that it's surprising since he was always rebelling against the teachers, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of apologizing. I sighed as I passed yet another group of gossips who were leaning against my locker. I recognized some of them as those bratty rich kids in my class, " I couldn't believe it! I swear it sounded foreign coming from his mouth"" He apologized, what's the big deal?" I voiced out. The group of five turned to me, the girl who was speaking crossed her arms, " What?" She asked " What's the surprise there? Reece is human, is he not? Why are you guys talking as if he's a god or something?" I asked.She raised her eyebrows at me, " Who are you even?--oh wait! You're that girl he us

Chapter: Chapter FortyThat same evening...JenniferAfter hours of unnecessary shopping, I was finally back in my warm cozy space. A sigh of content escaped my lips as I was finally able to get all my homework done. I smiled to myself and strolled over to my bed to sleep. Mid jump, I was interrupted by two knocks on my window.Already knowing who the intruder was, I opened the window and let him crawl in, " This is getting old" I told him. He took off his shoes and jacket and dove under my covers, " Ah...warm" he murmured. I rolled my eyes and joined him, " So what's up?" I asked.He fell silent for a second, " Well...my dad...he wants me to come home.." he said " Do you want to?" I asked. He shrugged, " I don't know.. I feel like I want to and also don't want to..." He paused and spoke again " I want to forgive him...but...okay I got nothing..I really want to forgive him" he said.I smile

Chapter: Chapter Thirty NineJennifer " Is it just me or has Reece been on the low recently?" My ears perked up at the mention of his name. I know eavesdropping is bad, but they're talking about Reece. I pretended to write while I listened to the girls behind me. The other hummed, " Yeah...I've noticed it too...the school's been quiet...it's like he doesn't even exist anymore. Super weird" she said. I frowned in thought, ' that's true. He really has been off the radar and I hardly see him around school'. Just then, he walked into the class nodding at whatever Severn was telling him. As he walked closer, the girls behind me stopped talking. He looked at me and smiled a little then went to seat at the back. " OMG...did you see that? He smiled at me!" One of the girls silently squealed and the other joined her. I rolled my eyes at their delusion and returned to doodling. My phone vibrated, I looked at the text and smi

Chapter: Chapter Thirty EightJennifer" Ah~" I sighed as my bum touched the hard, yet comfortable seat. I'd been dancing for a while so my feet hurt, I needed a break. I looked at the sea of dancing bodies, sipping my drink and chuckled when I spotted Amaya as she was trying to escape from Jason. Young love, so innocent.Suddenly, the chair beside me was pulled back and Reece sat down on it. He smiled a little, " Hey..." He mouthed over the loud music. I smiled back and looked at his fireman costume, " Nice costume" I leaned over and said " Thanks, you too. You look hot" he replied with a wink. I rolled my eyes and sipped from my drink.Reece grabbed my hand gently, " Can we go outside...please?" He asked, wearing a serious look. I nodded after a little hesitation and followed him out of the hall into the now bright hallway.The music faded as we went farther away from the gym. Honestly, I felt so scared as I followed him.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty SevenJenniferUgh! This week has been so hectic, from annoying tests to enormous amounts of homework and projects. But thank God it's all over, " hahaha..."" The hell..? Are you crazy or sum?" Amaya asked when she heard me laugh. I smiled at her, " I'm so happy" I said " What? Did Reece ask you to be his girlfriend?" She asked and sipped from her drink.I scowled at her but still blushed, " Of course not"" Why not?" She asked again. I sighed, " We don't think it's a good idea at the moment. I know it's just forgave him and all, but it's too fast" I told her. She nodded in agreement, " You're right. It would be too soon" she said." Hello ladies" a familiar figure sat beside Amaya. I raised my eyebrows and smiled when I noticed the blush on Amaya's cheeks. " Hi" I greeted him, he smiled at me and then faced Amaya, " Aren't you tired of running away?" He asked her, " Who's running away from what?" She asked back.I

ONCE AGAIN
The place his lips touched burned, "Your brother is in the other room," I told him, hoping (not) that he would let go. Walker planted soft kisses on my cheek and the corner of my lips, "We're in the bathroom. He can't hear us," he responded.
I groaned, "Are you drunk? Or have you been playing this whole time?" I asked because he seemed very sober. Walker chuckled, "You won't believe how drunk I am right now. And I'm not hearing a no," he said and his hand moved up to my chest.
Destiny and Walker had been married for five years and were given a second chance at love after a rough patch in their relationship when Destiny discovered she was pregnant. Walker is overjoyed and vows to keep her and their unborn child safe this time around. As they navigate this new chapter, they must confront their unresolved emotions and fears.
Will they be able to rekindle their love and build a stronger, healthier relationship? Or will the weight of their past mistakes, along with external forces, tear them apart once more? Join them on their journey of separation and reunion.

Chapter: Chapter 36Pale morning light spilled through the curtains, casting a cold, muted glow across the bedroom.I lay awake in Walker’s arms, my gaze fixed on the curtains as they swayed gently with the morning breeze. His steady, even breaths warmed my ear, the rise and fall of his chest a quiet rhythm against my back. And still, I couldn’t stop the tear that slid silently down my cheek.His grip had loosened since the night before, but his arm remained draped around me—as if he was afraid that if he let go, I’d disappear without a sound.Last night had felt like a nightmare, except I was the one who’d written it. Sleep had refused to come, chased away by the soft, broken tears that had fallen onto my skin—tears that weren’t mine.Walker hadn’t said a word after he came to bed. But I felt the weight of his heartache, heavy as a stone between us. And I, the one who had put it there, hadn’t known how to ease it.I said I loved him. And still, here I was—running. Like a coward. But desperate times call

Chapter: Chapter 35Walker blinked slowly. His gaze lingering on the envelope morphed from confusion to realization—and utter fear. He looked devastated.He stood up and didn't take it.His hands stayed clenched at his sides."No." His voice cracked—barely a breath. "Destiny... no."I couldn't speak for a moment. My throat was tight. My eyes burned. "I'm tired of all this," I whispered.He flinched like I'd slapped him. "No," he said again, shaking his head. "You don't mean that. We can—we can fix this."I forced myself to meet his eyes. "You're not trying to fix it, Walker. You're trying to survive it."Tears welled in his eyes, and he finally reached out and took the envelope like it physically hurt to hold. "Please don't do this," he whispered, his voice breaking. "Please, Des. I'll do anything. Just don't leave me. I'd rather suffer than let you go.""And that's the problem," I whispered, tears spilling freely. "You'd rather drown than reach for me. You call it love, but all it does is break us and

Chapter: Chapter 34I decided to go back home after five days. And during that time, I was able to assess the situation and come to a conclusion. When we pulled up to the house, the sun had already dipped low. The golden light made everything look softer than it felt—like the world was pretending everything was fine while I came apart at the seams.Jenna parked but didn't move to get out."Do you want me to come in with you?" she asked gently.I hesitated, hand on the door handle, my pulse thudding in my ears. "No," I said quietly. "Thank you for everything, but... I need to be alone. At least for now."She didn't look convinced, but she nodded. "Call me if anything happens. I mean it, Des. Anything."I nodded without answering and stepped out, the car door shutting behind me with a final, echoing thud.The whole ride up the elevator felt like a thousand floors. When I finally got off, I dragged my feet to the door—my hands lingering on the code pad. Then I unlocked the front door and slipped inside, g

Chapter: Chapter 33DESTINY’S POV Three days later, the art gallery hummed with soft conversation, the murmur of voices blending with the low notes of a piano drifting from the main hall. I stood in front of a large canvas—an abstract swirl of colors—trying to focus on the shapes and textures. But my mind kept drifting back to Walker. Jenna nudged me gently. "You've barely said a word since we got here." I sighed, arms folded across my chest. "I'm sorry. I'm just... distracted." She gave me a knowing look. "Walker?" "Yeah," I admitted, my voice low. "Things are bad. Moore's Co. is sinking fast, and he didn't even tell me. He promised. I had to find out from Desmond. It feels like everything is on the verge of collapse." Jenna's brow creased with worry. "Destiny, that's horrible. I'm sorry. What about Walker? Are you guys talking about what to do next?" I bit my lip. "We haven't really talked since three days ago." "Des." "I don't know if he's trying to protect me or if he just doesn't trust me en

Chapter: Chapter 32DESTINY’S POVWalker lied to me.He looked me in the eyes and lied. Who would have thought?My lips quivered as tears fell onto my clenched hands in my lap. My heart ached.It had been barely two days since Walker told me about the vote. I was about to leave the house when Desmond came looking for him, saying he couldn’t find him at the office.Unfortunately, that was when I learned the truth.Moore’s Co. was on the brink of bankruptcy, and everything Walker had told me was a lie.Silence filled the living room—thick and bitter. Desmond, my brother, sat across from me, his head buried in his hands. He looked exhausted and worn like the truth had drained the life out of him.“Why didn’t he tell me? Why did he lie?” I asked, my lips trembling.Desmond sighed and shook his head. “He didn’t want to worry you,” he said softly. Then, after a pause, he added, “If I’d known he hadn’t told you, I wouldn’t have come over.”I lifted my head and glared at him. “No, Desmond. You did the right thin

Chapter: Chapter 31WALKER'S POV I was up before dawn. Quietly, I slipped out of bed and padded to the study, shutting the door behind me. The house was still, but my mind was in chaos. I opened my laptop and stared at the document glowing on the screen—the evidence Logan had managed to dig up yesterday. It wasn't enough. We'd uncovered a few financial transfers, backroom meetings, a suspicious land deal tied to the chairwoman—but nothing directly linking her to Desmond's case, except for the contract. Nothing we could have confidently presented. Desmond's career. His company, his freedom—everything—was hanging in the balance. The chairwoman didn't need to threaten directly. Her power wasn't in what she said, it was in what she could do. I ran a hand down my face and leaned back in the chair, exhaustion crawling under my skin. I'd been too naive. I thought I could take her down with the truth, but I underestimated her power and tried to fight her head-on. Me—who has no single backing. What was I

Chapter: Chapter Forty Nine (EPILOGUE)WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN VOLITION.CLOVERAfter Phoenix woke up, the whole pack was relaxed again. We even had a feast that very night. Everything felt so right once more. That night, when everybody had retired to their respective homes, Phoenix and I laid awake in bed, cuddling and talking about everything and anything, “ That’s not true, I wasn’t worried about your safety, I was worried about the rogues you might have come across” Phoenix said and I scoffed, “ Don’t overestimate me. I’m not that strong, you’re the only thing that kept me going” I joked.He grimaced, “ That was so fucking cheesy, I almost barfed” “ You love me cheesy” I replied, while wiggling my brows at him, and he laughed, “ The hell?! That was even worse”.I smiled at him, “ You really scared me though” I said, “ I was asleep” he said with an eye roll. I bit his chest, “ Well I think I’m now traumatized by you just going to sleep. You’re not allowed to close your eyes ever again” I j

Chapter: Chapter Forty EightCLOVERAs soon as we got to the pack hospital, Phoenix was placed on a pre-prepared stretcher and taken to the ER. Danny sat quietly in the hallway while I paced back and forth, “ Sit down Clover. You’re making me nauseous” He mumbled.The sound of approaching footsteps made me stop. Aunt Renee and Doe crushed me in a warm hug, “I’m so glad you’re safe” Aunt Ree said, but then her eyes fell on my neck, “ Oh my-you’re bleeding! Doctor!-“ “ Forget it. She won’t go with them” Danny said from his seat and all eyes fell on him. “ Hello, you must be Clover’s brother. I’m Doe” Doe smiled and stretched her hand to him, which he shook to my surprise, “ Daniel” he said and smiled back. I raised my brow at him, “ Wow, look at you being all polite” I mocked, “ Well she’s pretty” he answered and winked at Doe. An arm circled Doe’s waist, “ And taken” Tobias said with a warning look. He had bandages running from over his left shoulder to his torso, but he was fine. Danny smiled in amusement, “ Ju

Chapter: Chapter Forty Seven CLOVER Danny was right. Moping was not going to solve our problems. Those things had already happened, and there was nothing I could do about it. After crying for a while, I wiped my tears and said, “ You’re right. I’m sorry…I was just….”, Danny sighed,“ I get it. We just have to get out of here fast” he said. That being said, I looked around the cell and suddenly had a sense of de ja vu, “ These walls look like they’ve been standing for decades, maybe there’s a weak spot” I mumbled. I felt around the wall for something, anything. When I felt around the walls near Danny, some stones crumbled under my finger. Danny came to stand beside me and eyed the spot too. As I was about to tell him the next plan, someone knocked on our cell bar. We froze in place, “ Shit…” Danny cursed under his breath and we turned around, only to find that it was the weird guard from before. He was looking everywhere, as if to check of anyone was coming, before he opened the door and walked straight to me.

Chapter: Chapter Forty SixMILLICENT Something strange is happening up above us. Ever since this morning there had been a lot of howling. Sad, mournful howls. Like something bad had happened. When wolves howl like that, it usually signifies the death of a ruler.I’ve also been having this bad feeling in my gut. I haven’t been able to sit still, and I don’t know how to calm the others with me. I know Clover isn’t dead, because if she was, we would have felt it. I just feel like she’s in grave danger.“ When is Alpha Phoenix gonna get here?”, One of them asked, “ I don’t know”,I replied anxiously. This has been the question for the past two-three days? I’m not even sure how long we’ve been here. “ I don’t think that girl got to the pack” “ How do you know that?”“ If she had reached the pack, we wouldn’t be here by now!” “ Can you just wait? I’m sure Alpha Phoenix is on his way……right?”“ He has abandoned us! We’re doomed”“ How can you say that about your own Alpha?!”“ If we weren’t abandoned, then why have

PHOENIX“ What are we going to do?” Tobias asked after Landon relayed the information to him, “ Prepare the warriors, we’re going to snowfall pack…” I simply said. Tobias frowned, “ Warriors? Are you planning to start a war?” He asked. I leaned back in my chair, trying to keep my wolf calm, “ If need be” I replied. Landon nodded and went for the door, “…I think you’re being a bit too rash? I mean, we can just try to talk it out first before taking any actions, right?” He asked.LANDONAs soon as Tobias spat those words out, the air in the office grew cold. My whole body went completely still. A feeling I haven’t had in a while. My wolf shrank to the farthest part of my mind and I involuntarily bowed my head. “ I’m being rash?” Phoenix asked coldly, not even hiding the bloodlust seeping out of him. He got up and walked towards Tobias, “ You think I’m being rash…You’re acting like you don’t know what’ll happen to Clover if she spends another t

Chapter: Chapter Forty FourALEXIAWhen I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the white ceiling of the pack hospital, and the smell of antiseptic. My throat felt dry, “ Water” I choked out. Someone immediately rushed to my side and a cup was pressed against my lips. I greedily gulped down the whole cup. “How are you feeling?” Someone asked on my left. I looked up and realized it was Alpha Phoenix, and the person who gave me water was Gamma Landon. I blinked several times, “ I-I’m fine. Alpha Phoenix…” I paused as my brain did a full reset, “Luna Clover…” “ Hey. You must be hungry. Eat first, then you can talk” he said and passed a bowl of food to me.It took me seconds before the bowl was empty. I drank some water and began talking, “ Luna followed her brother to another pack. I heard some guards saying that, that was were their mother is” “ Okay. What about the remaining pack members?” Alpha Phoenix asked. “ They’re fine, at least. We planned to escape together, but they got caught. Those rogues won’t hurt them,
