or trusting the one who could ruin her even worse.

Chapter: CHAPTER 45: Touch Me, Please{ Elena's POV }After having the maid bring my lunch up to my room—didn’t want to face any more weird confrontations with Ambrose—I was on my laptop all day, trying to get into the list of websites Alisha, my personal ally and head of my source team, gave me to look up the Black Daggers.I had tried searching on the internet but got nowhere. Every page either showed me things I already knew or just went blank. Someone had really taken their time wiping the Black Daggers off the internet.Left with no other choice, I called Alisha, but she was buried in her own problems and the rest of the team weren’t much better at hacking than me. No. I think I’m a little bit better.Just one tiny bit.So I decided to try myself. An hour passed. Two hours. After three hours, I gave up and shut my laptop in frustration. I couldn’t get past the security on any of the sites. They were stronger than anything I’d handled before. Now I truly regretted skipping those hacking classes.I let out a long breat

Chapter: CHAPTER 45: Fine. We kissed. { Elena's POV }Twenty minutes later I was back at Crescent Moon Manor. I dropped onto one of the couches in the sitting room.“Your lunch will be ready soon, ma’am,” one of the maids said as she passed by.I nodded at her and tried to relax, but the door burst open almost right away.“Ambrose, what the heck,” I said, almost standing from my seat.He didn’t answer. Just sat on the couch across from me.“What happened?”I stared at him. “I don’t get it.”Ambrose chuckled and it wasn't sweet. “First he calls you babe. Then I spot bite marks on your neck. Then you get jealous because he accepts another woman’s opinion—his childhood friend, for goodness’ sake—and then you pecked him on the lips right in front of us.”My mouth dropped open.“I repeat for the very last time,” Ambrose said, his tone serious now. “What happened?”My fingers fidgeted with the edge of the pil

Chapter: CHAPTER 44: Jealous{ Elena's POV }“And that's not all.” Nicholas continued.My eyes went wide. He really had to be kidding me.“What in the actual fuck did he do again?” Ambrose muttered, leaning forward.Nicholas looked between Ambrose and me, then sighed. “He's been watching us the whole time—our movements, everything we were doing.”He brought the laptop closer. “See.”I pulled the laptop toward me and my breathing stopped, Ambrose stood up and came to my side. I noticed his breathing paused for a second too. We exchanged glances and stared back at the screen.Ambrose was speechless and I was even more speechless than him.MK has been watching us this whole time? What the hell.But why?I dropped the laptop back on the table and turned to Nicholas.“Do you know where we can find him?”Nicholas shook his head. “Find him? That’s a very hard and almost impossible task, Elena.”“Why though?” I rubbed my temple. My head was throbbing now.“Because he's the head of one of the biggest crime organization.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 43: Childhood Friend{ Elena's POV } I kept staring at the passage after Renaya left, following after Nick. I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to tell him or what they could possibly be discussing or why he even left the sitting room in the first place. Faint sounds of talking was the only thing I could make out after straining my ears for the past five minutes. Childhood friend, huh? She's been acting all touchy and way too familiar with Nicholas and it's making my stomach ache. “He's mine.” Lia growled. “Shut up.” I snapped back. She whined and settled back down. I don't why I'm letting myself react like this. Where's that entitlement coming from? It's not like I'm his girlfriend or mate. We're just getting involved with each other. And Renaya is just his childhood friend, right? I tore my eyes away from the passageway and brought it down to my knees. Gosh Elena Rivers! Get a grip.“Hey.” Ambrose said, looking up at me. “What?” He scouted closer. “You've been staring at the passage sin

Chapter: CHAPTER 42: The Real Nicholas Scratch{ Nicholas POV } I spun around slowly to see a deeply confused Ambrose walking steadily towards the sitting room. “Shit.” I muttered under my breath Just when I thought things were starting to improve between Elena and me, then Renaya popped out of nowhere. No, not nowhere—my sickened past. And now she was here to make the woman I love, distrust and probably hate me. To cause chaos, because Renaya doesn't back down when she wants something, she gets it no matter what, not even her life is at stake. That's how crazy my friend can be when she's obsessed. And I used to love her for that but now, I'm scared she was like that in the first place. The traveling box Ambrose was holding slid from his hand and landed with a loud thud on the tiled floor.“My box!” Renaya snapped, hurrying over to pick it. Ambrose stepped forward. “I definitely heard wrong, right?” he said, voice tight. “She didn't just call you Scratch, did she?” “Ambrose….” Elena’s voice came out quiet. “You knew?” H

Chapter: CHAPTER 41: Her Name Is Renaya{ Elena's POV } I stared at Ambrose’s last message for a while.She’s asking for Nick? But why?My fingers hovered over the screen. Hope it’s nothing serious. No, don’t panic. She’s also from the kingdom so… everything should be fine.I typed back:Uhm, maybe she’s here to check up on him since he’s on Lycan business too.I paused, then added:I don’t know….. Whatever. ByeeI pressed the power button, threw the phone on the side table, and walked to the full length mirror. My face was still slightly flushed and my lips were swollen and pink.I traced my thumb along them, a small smile forming on my lips. The Goddess knows how badly I’ve been craving for a man to kiss me like he can’t get enough of my taste.I tilted my head so I could see the bite marks on my neck. They stung a little when I brushed my fingers over them. My smile widened, then vanished the moment the word “Scratch” rang in my head.I sighed, turned around, and dropped face-down onto my bed.“Tomorrow,” I muttered i
