The Goodbye he regretted
For three years, Selene loved a man who never loved her back.
Her marriage to Damien vance was built on obligation, not affection. He married her to fulfill his grandmother's wish, but his heart had always belonged to someone else. Still, Selene endured the coldness, the distance, and the loneliness, hoping that one day her love would be enough.
Then, everything changes.
On the happiest day of her life, Selene discovers she is pregnant after years of trying. Overjoyed, she rushes home to share the news with her husband, convinced that this miracle might finally bring them closer together.
Instead, she walks into a nightmare.
Damien's first love, Aurora, has returned.
The woman he never stopped loving is suddenly back, and Selene finds herself pushed aside as though she never mattered. Before she can reveal her pregnancy, Damien hands her divorce papers and asks her to leave.
Heartbroken and carrying a secret that could change everything, Selene signs the papers and disappears from his life.
But some goodbyes are not as final as they seem.
As Damien begins building a future with the woman he thought he wanted, he slowly realizes that the person he truly depended on is gone. The wife he overlooked, the woman who stood by him through everything, has vanished without a trace.
And when long-buried secrets begin to surface, Damien is forced to confront a devastating truth that comes far too late.
Now, the man who once let her go will stop at nothing to find her.
But after everything he has done, will Selene ever give him a second chance?
Or will the goodbye he demanded become the regret he carries for the rest of his life?

Chapter: CHAPTER 252 That was a load of hot air. Zoe could not possibly acquire a jewelry piece that even an avid collector like Xin Wang had no access to. Though stunned by Zoe’s behavior, Kylie flattered her, “Wow, you’re amazing, Zoe! If you can get your hands on Alexa’s jewelry, I’m sure Xin will come back to us. We can get even with Maureen, help Damien, and, while doing so, improve his perception of you. You’ll be Vance Corporation’s hero, and Damien will be drawn closer to you.” Zoe smiled smugly and uttered, “So we should steal the case from Maureen.” While Kylie echoed Zoe’s sentiment, she had other thoughts in mind. Kylie did not want to help Damien, as they were not from the same mother. However, it was a chance to shine. If she ran the planning instead of Damien, she could show her dad that she was capable and make him proud, restoring her mother’s recent declining standing. Zoe was only a tool to get a leg up. With that in mind, Kylie was thrilled, her eyes gleaming with desire and h

Chapter: CHAPTER 251 “What did I tell you, Mom? I told you they were more than friends. Lily is trying to get in my way!” Kylie complained. Kylie was jealous because Richard dressed Lily in a fancy red gown. Even without makeup, Lily glowed. To make matters worse, Lily’s evening gown sported the same burgundy color as Richard’s tuxedo, making them appear to be a perfect match. Under the spotlight, they stood alongside each other like newlyweds. All eyes were on them. Kylie found her purple gown to be a painful joke. The color would never go well with burgundy. “I gave birth to Lily. I know the type of person she is.” Diana had a deeper perspective that extended beyond Kylie’s surface-level understanding. “Lily might be 22 years old, but she has the mind of a 12-year-old. She lacks the capacity to date a man, let alone steal your man.” While Diana’s comment was comforting, Kylie still found herself furious. “I think you have bigger problems on your plate than you realize. Richard has never show

Chapter: CHAPTER 250 Richard booked a presidential suite at the hotel and instructed his female secretary to swiftly purchase a discreet evening gown for Lily to change into as soon as possible. As Lily entered the room to change, he remained seated on the sofa, crossing his legs and tapping on his knee. If he had opted for a black suit for the evening, he might have resembled a groom patiently awaiting his bride to try on wedding dresses. Before long, the door opened. The secretary warmly smiled as Lily shyly emerged from the room. “Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Vance is ready.” Richard lazily turned his head and observed Lily approaching him hesitantly, elegantly dressed in a wine-red lace evening gown. Her eyes sparkled with innocence, subtly tinged with a hint of confusion. He was momentarily taken aback, and his gaze subtly deepened. In Richard’s world of extravagance and debauchery, he had encountered a myriad of women, but never before had he beheld eyes so untainted. Richard’s gaze appeared to

Chapter: CHAPTER 249Lily’s little face paled as her entire body flew straight into the man’s arms. Richard lowered his eyes, feeling a coolness in his chest. His long lashes trembled slightly. The dampness from her body blended with his warm skin through his thin black shirt. His breath grew heavy as his arms instinctively tightened around her. “Lily?” Richard called to her in a low and hoarse voice. Lily tightly shut her eyes, clutching his smooth lapel and not saying a word. Richard could not help but suppress a chuckle. He softly inquired, “Did I hurt you?” She rested her forehead against his chest and shook her head. A sense of pity welled up in his heart. The two security guards, upon witnessing Richard’s grand arrival, immediately straightened up. They hurriedly bowed respectfully and greeted, “Good evening, Mr. Hoffman!” “What was the meaning of that?” Richard asked in a lazy tone, still holding Lily. “Ah, it’s nothing, just a minor issue.” The security guard, who was previously r

Chapter: CHAPTER 248At the ballroom, the banquet proceeded. However, Xin Wang’s departure with Maureen somewhat dampened the guests’ enthusiasm. Initially, Zoe had dressed extravagantly to showcase her talents in front of an international superstar. Now, with Xin gone, she had no stage to perform on, and all her preparations were in vain. ‘This is all Maureen’s fault!’ Zoe thought. Outside the banquet hall, Damien stood by the French windows, an icy aura emanating from him like a frozen sculpture. He stared intensely in the direction the Rolls-Royce departed. Breathing heavily, his fists clenched tightly in the shadows. “Mr. Vance, I hate to say it, but it seems like we have been outplayed by Ms. Ashford,” Lucas said cautiously as he wiped the sweat from his brow. “The trending topics now are all about Ashford Group. Plus, the news of Ms. Ashford taking Xin Wang away has already spread. Even the chairman knows about it.” “Now, everyone is questioning the Vance Hotel, saying we should not have

Chapter: CHAPTER 247 Xin felt a surge of surprise and excitement, almost at a loss for words! She had pleaded with everyone she knew to help her get a piece of jewelry designed by Alexa, but so far, nothing has worked out. In a surprising turn of events, Maureen presented her with Alexa’s brooch as a gift. Thus, Xin was thrilled. “No, no, no… Ms. Ashford, I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is too precious. I really can’t accept it,” Xin expressed. Despite genuinely liking it, she hesitated out of pride and politely declined. “The brooch once consoled my wounded soul, but now I have completely emerged from the shadows, and in the future, I will never tread the same path again.” Maureen smiled lightly, her gaze incredibly resolute. “So, this gift is more of a beautiful wish. It once helped me overcome my sadness, and I hope this little thing will bring you the best of luck in the future.” Damien’s pupils contracted. He felt a piercing pain, as if his chest had been struck. His heart ached and w

The alpha's contract
When her fated mate rejects her to elevate his pregnant mistress, a warrior Luna leverages her economic genius to form a dangerous, one-year marriage contract with the continent’s most ruthless Supreme Alpha to reclaim her stolen birthright and force her betrayers to grovel.
Briar, the daughter of a former Alpha, spent two years building the economy of the Silvercrest Pack alongside her fated mate, Alpha Tristan. But loyalty is erased overnight when Tristan's mistress, Genevieve, surfaces claiming to carry the pack's next heir. Publicly humiliated, framed for an assault she didn't commit, and stripped of her dignity, Briar watches the sacred mate bond decay into a rotting wound. Worse, the psychological trauma forces her inner wolf, Vesper, into a silent coma, leaving Briar completely isolated in a pack turning against her.
Briar refuses to slip away quietly as a defenseless rogue. To escape with her life and her dignity, she must reclaim the ancestral lands and assets of her birth-pack, Shadowvale, which were absorbed during her marriage. Her only shot at defeating Tristan's political machine lies with Alpha Logan Vance,the untouchable, fiercely powerful head of the Alpha Council. Gatecrashing her own pack’s gala in a show of defiance, Briar bypasses her cheating husband to pitch a business deal to Logan in exchange for his supreme legal backing.
Logan Vance doesn't want her money. Recognizing the brilliant mind behind the region’s massive economic boom, the powerful Alpha delivers an ultimatum: he will dismantle Tristan’s standing, force the mistress to grovel, and restore Briar's ancestral birthright. The catch? She must sign a contract to become his official, public Luna for one full year.

Chapter: CHAPTER 119 Logan POV Four years later. I was looking at my family as we all sat for a picnic in one of the gardens on my estate. The sun hung high in the cerulean sky, casting a warm glow over the garden. Gentle breeze rustled the leaves of oaks and aspens, carrying a sweet scent of the blooming flowers. The pack was jubilant after the triplets were born. There was not a household who came to bless our pups when we celebrated their birth and then the first birthday. Usually the she-wolves had one pup at a time, but my Briar gave me three pups. The Moon Goddess was kind to me. I didn’t know what I had done to become the luckiest werewolf. Clara gave birth to twins, Aidan and Aria, two months later. While Aidan was a carbon copy of his father, I was happy that at least Aria had our family genes. Kael was over the moon when he had his pups. He had recovered beautifully over the past months with Clara’s help. My best friend, my former Beta, was now King Kael. I think the Moon Goddess brought h

Chapter: CHAPTER 118 Briar POV My body chose to go into labor when I was going to my bed after dinner. I was going to the balcony where I saw the moon hung low and full in the night sky, casting its beautiful glow over the forest behind our manor. Logan was right after me when I squeaked, “My water’s broken!” He froze behind me. “Baby, we are going to give birth!” Goosebumps lined my skin. And then the first pangs of labor swept through me like the rising tide, relentless and powerful, leaving me breathless. My Alpha husband’s usual calm and commanding presence faltered. The man who could silence the room with his single growl that would shake the doors and window, now found himself vulnerable. His nervous eyes darted at me, his expressions looking like he was lost in a blizzard. “Briar!” He came to stand near me and swept me in his arms in one swift motion. Shouting at all the servants in the manor, he rushed with me to the car that was already standing on the porch. His nerves frayed with each ago

Chapter: CHAPTER 117 Briar POV It had been three months since Clara got pregnant and I was five months pregnant. There was not a single day when we didn’t call each other and talked at length about how we were both suffering or enjoying ourselves. I had just finished the conversation with her, when my eyes went to the pile of clothes that was lying in our walk-in closet. My housekeeper hadn’t turned up because of a stomach flu and so I was folding the clothes and cleaning up the space. Logan had asked me not to work at all, but I wanted to keep myself active. It had been an hour and normal work that I could do within minutes seemed like a gargantuan task. My breasts were getting bigger than they already were, my tummy was huge, I couldn’t wear my previous clothes, I was sweating a lot, peeing a lot and getting irritated with almost everything. Unable to cope up with all the stupid trauma and hormonal changes, I started crying. “Briar!” Logan walked into the room. “Girl, what the hell are you doing? I

Chapter: CHAPTER 116 Clara POV Honeymoon in Mexico was simply enchanting. We stayed at an adult luxurious resort that faced the white sandy beaches of Cancun. Kael and I spent most of our time in the room because my wolf was insatiable. He had a permanent erection that was drilling into me in every damn possible way. We christened every surface of the room, including the bathtub, floors and even our balcony. Yes, he knotted inside me three times in three days. The first day was painful as hell. I screamed when he knotted inside me, but he pinned me to the bed, his wolf snarling at me to stay in place because he wanted to plant his seeds inside me. The second day it was less painful and remained the same on the third day. When he retreated, he would scoop his cum and put it back inside me, saying, “I can’t let my boys go astray. Each one of them will go inside you.” When we were lounging on the pristine white sand beach, he would cover us with a sheet and mount me. On the pretext of applying sunscreen,

Chapter: CHAPTER 115 Clara POV “I know,” Derek clenched his fists. “Beau threw me under the bus for his revenge. He filled me with everything negative about you all. Along with Luce, he concocted a story that said that they were both tortured and forced to leave. Luna Clara abused Luce mentally and physically while Kael made his mission to harass Beau at every step.” He looked at King Soren. “I am so sorry about it, King Soren. I know you won’t believe me, but that is the reality – I have nothing to do with my brother. It was on my mother’s insistence that I joined hands with Rebecca’s pack. And come to think of it, I suspect it was Luce, Rebecca and Beau who planned this story all along.” He shook his head. “His plan would have succeeded, anyway. I feel like such an idiot! Had it not been my mother, I wouldn’t have invaded you!” He sighed. “In retrospect, with me in your captivity, he will claim the position of Alpha in my pack.” He looked away, sadness crossing his face. “My pups and my wife are inno

Chapter: CHAPTER 114CLARA'S POV I paced in my room. There’d been a nagging feeling since lunch that something didn’t fit. Kael and Logan had gone to King Soren’s library, where they wanted to discuss more about this impending war. Briar was talking to Shir and Fenris to send warriors along the borders of the Viking pack as soon as possible. However, why was I feeling that this wasn’t a solution? If the enemy pack warriors were hiding in the jungle that surrounded the Viking pack, there was no guarantee that they would attack us so soon. On the other hand, they might attack us immediately. In a case like this, when the pack was in the midst of wedding celebrations, where would the enemy attack? Obviously, some place weak. “Briar,” I called her. She darted her glance at me and signaled me with her finger that she would take a second. I waited for her as patiently as possible, anxiety cruising through me. She disconnected the call and came over. “I’ve asked Shir to send warriors to the Viking pack. He s
