Chapter: Chapter 429Aria's POV"I do!" Rowland practically launched himself forward. "I've taken care of her more often."At the same time, Jonathan extended a hand. "I'd be happy to help."One was eager, the other was composed. I couldn't help smiling. Both men looked entirely too serious about feeding a baby.Several hands reached toward me. But instead of choosing either of them, I turned toward the quietest person in the room, Francis."Would you help?"His eyes widened, the surprise rolling off him obvious. For a moment, he simply stared.Then gratitude softened his scent. "Of course." He accepted the packet carefully.Among everyone present, Francis had spent the least time with Lana. The poor man looked more nervous preparing cereal than facing an angry Alpha.A little powder spilled onto the table. Then some water splashed.I watched silently, hiding my amusement. Eventually, he finished just in time. A tiny whimper sounded f

Chapter: Chapter 428Aria's POVJonathan's warm amber eyes settled on me. His scent remained calm and steady, carrying the confidence of a mature Alpha."I tracked Rose's movements and discovered she'd returned to Asterfell." His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze."I was worried she might try something once she learned you'd survived."His gaze flickered briefly toward Rose."So I came to warn you." A small smile touched his lips. "Looks like I worried for nothing."Williams immediately shivered beside him. The moment Jonathan mentioned Rose, Williams's face turned strange.His gaze unconsciously drifted toward the door Chloe had exited through.Jonathan followed his brother's gaze before looking down at Rose. Even someone as composed as him raised an eyebrow.Rose's face was swollen beyond recognition. One eye had nearly disappeared beneath the swelling. Jonathan smiled. He looked genuinely impressed."If I'm not mistaken..." I

Chapter: Chapter 427Aria's POVRose laughed bitterly, the sound almost hysterical. "Why?" She stared at me as if I were the absurd one. "You really don't know?"Her eyes reddened. "Or are you pretending?"I remained silent."I like Francis." The confession burst out of her. "And you keep getting close to him right in front of me!" Her voice grew sharper. "Now you have the nerve to ask why?"The room fell silent. I blinked. Honestly, I was confused.Before I could respond, Francis suddenly spoke."Rose." His voice was firm.The room froze.He continued. "I don't like you. Your feelings are your responsibility." His scent carried frustration. "Neither my friends nor I should have to pay for them."Rose's body trembled only slightly. But my wolf caught it immediately.Then her expression changed. A twisted smile appeared. "Friends?" She laughed, the word sounding mocking.Her gaze locked onto Francis, sharp and unforgiving

Chapter: Chapter 426Aria's POVChloe blinked. For once, she looked innocent. Realizing she had started the conversation, she wisely kept quiet.Ignoring her, Rowland strode toward me. He placed the thermos beside the bed and sat down, then stared directly into my eyes."What did you mean?" His voice was low and serious.Under that intense gaze, I found it unexpectedly difficult to repeat myself. The longer I stayed silent, the more uncertainty filled his scent.Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist. His head lowered. "Why don't you want me here anymore?"The question sounded painfully vulnerable, his scent twisting with anxiety. "Are you trying to push me away again?"My chest tightened. I could feel the loneliness radiating from him. My wolf shifted uneasily. He clung to my arm stubbornly, almost desperately, as if he was afraid to hear the answer."Say something." His voice cracked."I didn't mean that." I sighed. "You don't have to work so hard

Chapter: Chapter 425Aria's POVJonathan's expression darkened briefly. Then he explained, "Out of everyone we know you've had conflicts with, only Francis and Rose were heading to the airport that day."As he spoke, he pulled out his phone. "This was sent by Francis before his flight."He showed me a photo. The image displayed Rose. Her cheeks were flushed. She looked nervous and excited, far too excited."I see." My voice was barely above a whisper. The room fell silent. I recalled Rose's threat the last time I saw her. If she had truly been the one who tried to kill me, then it was not an empty threat after all.After a moment, I lay back on the bed. "I need more rest."Even those few words drained what little energy I had left.Jonathan and Williams looked disappointed. Neither wanted to leave, but after seeing my condition, they reluctantly nodded and headed out.Soon, silence returned once more.I closed my eyes. Thoughts tangled toget

Chapter: Chapter 424Aria's POVI shook my head in response to Amelia's question.“I only learned about the latest development through a news report on my phone,” Amelia continued. "The driver of the SUV fled the scene and left no clues behind.”She let out a sigh and added, “The authorities couldn't find a single fingerprint inside the vehicle. I suspect this wasn't an accident at all. It may have been a planned attack."The moment those last words left her mouth, the scents in the room spiked with a mix of shock, alarm, and fear. Everyone present reacted instinctively."An attack? Here in Asterfell?" Luna Jennifer's brows knitted together. "Isn't that a little far-fetched?""No." Chloe immediately shook her head. "How does a normal driver leave no fingerprints? And the garage cameras just happened to be down? Everything about this is too convenient and suspicious. Premeditated murder is the only explanation that makes sense."I c

The Alpha's Scorned Bride
Five years. That's how long I survived behind those iron bars for a crime I didn't commit. A crime that my own parents pinned on me to protect my sister, Laura. My mate, Alpha Victor Smith, promised to wait for me. He promised to protect our newborn twins. Promised it would all be okay.
But, he wasn't there when the prison gates opened. I found him at a Valentine's Day celebration instead, standing beside Laura like she belonged there. My son Jasper doesn't recognize me as his mother. He hates me, he sees only the murderer everyone told him I was.
Now my sister wears my life like a stolen coat—my mate, my son, even my legacy. She's taken everything while I rotted in a cell for her crime.
But I'm done being their scapegoat.
I'm petitioning the council for a divorce. I'm going to expose every lie, clear my name, and reclaim everything they stole from me.
They should have killed me instead of just caging me.
Now they'll learn what a betrayed Luna can do.

Chapter: Chapter 258Ava's POVThe question sounded less accusing and more fearful.“You really need medical attention,” I snapped. “I told you, I was pushed!”His jaw tightened.Just then, my phone rang. I immediately reached for it. Victor grabbed it first.“Give that back!”He glanced at the screen, and his expression changed.“Andy?”Something dark flickered across his face.Raw, ugly jealousy, as though he already knew who Andy was.Before I could stop him, he answered.“Hello?”Anderson's voice came through. The moment Victor recognized it, his entire expression tightened. Without hesitation, he ended the call.The silence afterward felt suffocating.Victor lowered the phone. His eyes found mine.“What are you going to tell me now?”I stared at him. I was exhausted, confused, and frustrated. “I don't owe you an explanation.”My wolf bristled.“We're getting divorced, remember?”His face visibly flinched.“What I won't tolerate,” I continued, “is being treated like the villain when I'm the victim.”I

Chapter: Chapter 257Ava's POV“I knew you weren’t dead.”Victor's deep voice behind me made my entire body freeze.How did he know it was me? Even with the sunglasses covering half my face, the dark cap shadowing my features, and my wolf scent masked, he had recognized me?I immediately jerked my arm back.“Let go of me,” I said coldly. “I don't know who you are.”I snarled in an attempt to escape him.In one sharp motion, he ripped off my sunglasses and cap.Cold night air brushed against my face.“Don't lie, Ava,” he said, his voice cracking slightly.“I'd recognize you anywhere, even with all your disguises.”I looked up.His gray eyes locked onto mine, but something was wrong.For a second, I almost didn't recognize the look in them. There was no indifference, no cold contempt, no irritation. Instead, there was something far more unsettling.Raw, overwhelming relief.Like a drowning man who had finally reached the surface.My wolf stiffened uneasily.A bitter laugh escaped my throat.“Recognize me?”

Chapter: Chapter 256Laura's POVI looked away weakly.“Tell me,” Kingsley said firmly. “I’ll go talk to him myself.”“No, don’t…”I quickly grabbed his sleeve, widening my eyes slightly like I was scared he’d overreact.“He didn’t mean it,” I whispered softly. “Ava just died, and he’s emotional.”I forced myself to continue calmly.“And his grandmother...” I sighed softly. “Never mind. It’s nothing, Kingsley.”Then I pulled the blanket slightly over myself and turned away.“It’s late,” I murmured. “You should rest too.”Predictably, Kingsley didn’t let it go.“Get up.” His voice sharpened. “Tell me the truth.”I hid my smile carefully against the blanket.“Did the Smith family do something to you?” he demanded. “Is Victor cutting ties?” Kingsley asked coldly. “Or is his grandmother behind this?”“Let it go...” I made my voice smaller and weaker this time.“If you won’t tell me,” Kingsley snapped, “I’ll go to Victor right now and ask him myself.”Perfect.My wolf smirked.He actually started standing up.

Chapter: Chapter 255Ava's POVThe moment we reached shore, everything moved quickly.Anderson and Zack left almost immediately to search for Maria while I was escorted to a small cabin hidden along the beach.The cabin smelled faintly of cedarwood, saltwater, and old smoke. Outside, the ocean roared endlessly beneath the dark sky while cold wind rattled the windows.My wolf paced restlessly inside me. Maria was still missing. Every second wasted felt unbearable, but Anderson insisted I stay hidden until he confirmed the area was safe.So I waited, and while I waited...I thought about Laura.The memory of her face on that ship still haunted me.That smile, that calmness, the satisfaction in her eyes as she shoved me into the freezing ocean.Hatred twisted violently inside my chest.My wolf snarled darkly.She thought I was dead.At exactly three in the morning, I picked up the burner phone Zack had left behind for emergencies.Then I dialed Laura’s number.The line rang only once before she answered grog

Chapter: Chapter 254Victor's POVThe question settled heavily into the silence. I looked away toward the darkness beyond the estate because maybe he was right.Maybe this was guilt. Maybe I needed her to still be alive because the alternative was unbearable. Because if Ava was truly gone, then there would never be another chance.No chance to fix anything, no chance to explain, no chance to become someone she could have looked at without disappointment in her eyes.The thought hollowed out my chest.Reuben leaned back in his chair, studying me with sharp eyes.“From where I’m sitting,” he said coldly, “you’re drowning in guilt.”My jaw tightened.“Guilt for treating her like garbage,” he continued. “Guilt for not searching harder sooner.”Every word landed like claws digging deeper into old wounds. Wounds I had spent years pretending didn't exist.“And now,” Reuben said, “you’re clinging to anything that makes that guilt easier to live with.”My wolf lowered his head within me. I stayed silent because pa

Chapter: Chapter 253Victor’s POVI sat alone on the balcony outside my room.A cigarette burned slowly between my fingers while smoke curled through the cold night air.My wolf hated the smell, but lately, nicotine was the only thing keeping the pressure inside my chest from tearing me apart completely.I still couldn't believe it had already been two weeks.Two weeks since Ava disappeared into the ocean and still... she hadn't been found.At first, I refused to believe she was dead.Ava was a strong woman. She survived everything.She endured it all with a stubbornness that bordered on terrifying.My wolf and I refused to accept that she could simply vanish, but as the days dragged on, doubt slowly began creeping in.And after doubt came the emotions I spent years avoiding.Guilt came first.It was sharp and relentless.It sat in my chest like claws ripping deeper every hour.Then came frustration.That emotion lingered the longest because no matter how hard I searched, every answer led nowhere.And ben

Claimed by My Ex's Alpha King Uncle
On the very day Aurelia was meant to become the Luna of her pack, she discovered the gut-wrenching truth: her mate was cheating. To Axel, Aurelia was never a destined mate; she was just a tool to help him secure the title of Alpha. Driven by betrayal and a decade of lies, Aurelia rips off her veil and rejects him in front of everyone. She chooses a path of revenge, vowing never to be a submissive property to the Davenport heir again. But in her most desperate moments—from rainy nights to dangerous traps set by her own father—she finds herself rescued by a wolf who radiates pure, suffocating power. Dane Davenport.
The cold, legendary Alpha King. Axel’s own uncle. Dane is a man who was supposed to stay in the shadows of her past, yet he becomes her only sanctuary. As they move from careful distance to an irresistible, soul-searing attraction, a forbidden secret surfaces: the King knew all along. They aren't just allies. They are Fated Mates. Now, Aurelia must decide: will she cower before the traditions that once chained her, or will she embrace her true wolf and rule the nation by the side of the King?

Chapter: Chapter 156 Last night was like a fever dream.I'd thought my wedding with Axel was at the peak of the worst that could happen to a bride, but yesterday proved me wrong.In the midst of everyone else and immediately after the marking ceremony was done, Axel left the altar. Naked.Sparing not even a single glance at his bride, who broke down in tears the moment he stepped out of frame.Not bothering about the dozens of voices calling out to him from the crowd. Not even his friends, who he had always spent his time with.None of them could bring him back to the hall.Fiona's tears flowed like a stream as she ran after her son, but not even her tears snapped him out of whatever the fuck was wrong with him.Donald and Eric remained in their seats, disappointment washed all across their faces while Dane's grin grew the widest.If I hadn't known how shrewd Charlotte was, I would have felt terribly sorry for her. Heck! I might have offered to sue her spouse on her behalf."Aurelia!""Huh?"I lifted my g

Chapter: Chapter 155AXEL AND CHARLOTTE’S WEDDING.My heart lurched the moment I stepped out of the car, taking in the enormous crowd gathered at the hall and the numerous cameras capturing every detail in sight.I exhaled slowly, pressing my sweaty palm against my blue dress."You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Dane appeared beside me, his arm snaking around my waist as he whispered into my ear. "You're so perfect."I giggled at the warmth of his breath."Your Highness!" Within moments, the crowd noticed Dane and swarmed around him like moths to a flame.I tried to step aside but before I could, Dane took my hand firmly in his, squeezing softly with a smile on his face even as his attention remained on the men before him."Extend your greetings to my companion." His voice carried a quiet authority and the murmuring amongst the men settled immediately.Their gazes shifted to me. Some stared in awe, some in confusion, others in open admiration. But not one of them dared to look at me with any

Chapter: Chapter 154Just as I finally thought I'd broken free from them, an abrasive voice scraped against my nerves."Aurelia!"I gritted my teeth, eyes shut. Heels striking harder against the concrete floor.But before I could get further, a firm hand gripped my arm."Aurelia." I opened my eyes to see Axel standing beside me. My gaze dropped to his hand and in an instant, he released his grip."Was it necessary?" He asked."What?""Doing all that in court. Did you really have to?"I scoffed. "You do know what it means to be a lawyer, don't you?"Axel exhaled, tucking his hands in his pockets. "There are other ways to handle things without humiliating Charlotte like that."I laughed. "You really think I'd go out of my way for some silly revenge against you?"His eyes narrowed. "What are you trying to say?""Axel…" I let out a deep sigh, frustration building. "I'm saying you all need to get off your high horses. You're of no significance to me."A throbbing ache settled in my temples as I pressed my fing

Chapter: Chapter 153COURT DAYAfter months of back and forth with Charlotte and a series of unfortunate events, it was finally the day to meet in court, with Odette standing next to me as we both waited by the coffee machine.Her fingers tapped anxiously on the cup, legs trembling."Are you nervous?""Yes!" Her answer came quickly as she swallowed a mouthful of the hot drink, immediately regretting it as she stuck her tongue out in pain."You have absolutely nothing to worry about." I assured her, though deep down I knew that no matter what I said, the panic in her wouldn't subside until we walked out of that courtroom victorious.I understood and couldn't fault her for it."What if we don't win?" She asked, fear laced in her voice. "Charlotte won't stop until she ruins me.""Breathe, Odette." I reached out, steadying her. "Trust me."She nodded, despite the trembling in her body."We have everything we need. The evidence clearly proves that Charlotte stole from you and threatened you." I shrugged. "You'

Chapter: Chapter 152For a few minutes I stood outside the office, breathing heavily. Knowing full well that the moment I stepped inside, I'd have to come face to face with Dominic and confess to everything.He'd be hurt.I'd promised never to keep anything from him after the last incident with Axel, yet had hidden one of the worst incidents our firm had ever had to go through.But I had no choice but to come clean — he already knew.Dane had wasted no time firing whoever had been the mole in his company and had found a way to sanction Amelia's company as well.He might not have been able to physically hurt Amelia right now, but the damage he'd done would take her company forever to recover from.The news had spread like wildfire, with everyone knowing only the brief version of the story Dane had chosen to give them. Unfortunately, that brief version was just enough for Dominic to piece things together.He was a smart man."Aurelia?" The door opened with Vivienne walking out of the office, a huge grin on

Chapter: Chapter 151"I love you, Aurelia Frost."Warmth spread through me as my body melted in his touch. His eyes remained on mine, gentle and unmoving with his chest rising and falling in rhythm. I stared deep into them, pure and sincere.I love you.Those three words I fought so hard to hear from Axel for over ten years of being with him and when I finally did, sounded like an obligation rather than a confession.But with Dane— everything was different.His fingers trailed gently on my waist, squeezing softly with his eyes on mine. Waiting.He heaved. "I've always loved you, Aurelia.""I…"He cut me off. "You don't have to say anything now." He swallowed nervously. "Take your time…""I love you, Dane." The words rolled off my tongue, catching him off guard.Dane's muscles tensed the moment I spoke those words, his soft eyes changing into something else. Primal.His pupils dilated, eyes darkening as his breathing turned rough, fingers tightening possessively around my waist."Aurelia…" He breathed heav
