Chapter: Chapter-77 Funeral Gianna2 days laterBlack. Everywhere I looked, it was black suits, veils, coats heavy against the late afternoon chill. Even the sky seemed to dim itself for the occasion, clouds swallowing what little light dared to break through. The Baldocchi burial grounds seemed regal. They were gated, walled in with old stone and iron, as private and guarded as possible. Every generation had a place here.Today, it was Vittoria’s turn.A massive portrait rested on an easel near the casket—Vittoria, poised and elegant as she always has been. White lilies framed the photograph, their scent almost suffocating in the cold air.People kept arriving. More than I’d expected. Our family was already there. Leonardo stood at the edge, his usual bravado stripped away. Amara clutched a handkerchief, her face pale. Xavier and Aria stood close together, whispering, while Domani’s jaw was tight, his gaze fixed somewhere far beyond the casket.Even Teresa had come, her usual bright energy muted, eyes downcast

Chapter: Chapter-81 (Part 2) Gianna “Now,” Nico murmured, his mouth still close enough that I felt the ghost of his words on my skin, “will you join me for a dance?” I blinked at him.“A dance?” My brow arched instinctively. “Since when does Nicholas Baldocchi dance?”“It’s a first,” he smirked slightly, extending his hand to me. “May I?”Something about the simple, almost old-fashioned gesture made me hesitate for only a heartbeat before smiling and slipping my hand into his. But then I paused.“Wait,” I said, narrowing my eyes. “Give me my panties back.” For the first time EVER, genuine mischief sparked in his eyes.

Chapter: Chapter-81 (Part 1) GiannaI made a straight beeline for the bar. What the fuck was that? I was sitting right there. Didn’t he see that? And is this what happens every time Nico has an apparent ‘meeting’?“I need something fucking hard,” I hissed at my best friend, who was still at the bar.“You came back fast,” Teresa raised a brow. She was already sipping on what seemed like Long Island iced tea.“Couldn’t watch my husband getting a lap dance from Ms. Big Tits any longer,” I grumbled. “Let’s do shots, shall we? Let’s get fucking drunk.”“Are you sure?” Tess inquired, looking surprised. “You just got drunk yesterday.”

Chapter: Chapter-80 PissedGiannaThe club was dark and elegant, with deep red walls and golden lights that gave everything a soft, rich glow. The floors were black marble, and the music made the ground feel like it was pulsing. A long bar with glowing shelves held rows of expensive liquor, and everything smelled like perfume, money, and danger. There was also media there, and as I gazed up at Nico, I realized he kind of looked proud.“Gi!” I turned around, and Teresa waved at me from the bar. She grabbed whatever she was drinking and trotted over to me, looking smug. And drunk.And holy fuck…she looked smoking hot.“Hey!” I smiled, hugging her and then added in her ear, “Nice dress, girl.” She wore a silver-halter neck dress that made mine look like a ball gown.“I am going to leave that bastard with blue balls tonight,” she smirked. “Watch me. Well, hello, Nicholas.”“Nice to see you again, Teresa,” Nico said politely.I don’t know why I watched him closely, maybe female instincts, but his eyes never strayed

Chapter: Chapter-79 BetGiannaI cannot explain how good it felt to sort things out with Nico finally. I hated the last three days, but I was glad we managed to sort things out, even if I don’t remember what I said to him in my batshit drunken state.But I made a promise to myself, and that was not to dig into Nico’s past anymore. Whatever it is, just let it be. I love him nevertheless. And if he is willing to take time to talk about our future, then he must feel something too. And with the way he handled things this time, it just made me even more sure that things have changedbetween us. He has changed. If anything, the toe-curling sex we had after breakfast was proof enough.I grinned and then focused back at my iPad, staring at the first batch of designs I prepared for Maximus to take a look at. He has been a tad silent lately, but then we weren’t friendly enough to chitchat beyond work. My thoughts were distracted by the text on my phone’s screen, my brows furrowing together as my eyes scanned it.Nico:

Chapter: Chapter-78 Goodbye Nico “Is there any progress on the Moles?” Gianna asked, once she was finally full with her breakfast of frittata with veggies, two slices of bread, fresh figs and another cup of coffee. It actually made me smile when she almost licked her plate clean.“Caelian is looking into it. So far, we have five suspects,” I answered, looking around to make sure Mirella wasn’t around. She left after whipping up a quick breakfast.“Five?” Gianna exclaimed, looking surprised.“Still suspect,” I assured and hope to God that Guilio won’t be one of them. It would break Caelian’s heart. He was the one who found him, trained him and then took him as his right hand.He was a trustworthy man.“What happens to them if…if it’s confirmed that they are the one?” she inquired. I gazed out at th

Chapter: Bonus Chapter #1Ivy's momThe sun was barely up, but the pack grounds were already alive with activity. Omegas hurried back and forth, setting up chairs, arranging flowers, and double-checking the decorations for Ivan’s ceremony. Today was the day my son, my firstborn, would be crowned Alpha, and I couldn’t stop myself from fussing over every last detail.“Make sure the garlands hang evenly,” I called to one of the omegas, pointing at a lopsided section. “And Kiera, wipe down the Alpha’s chair again, please. It has to be spotless.”“Yes, Luna,” they replied in unison, quickly moving to fix it.I sighed, smoothing the front of my dress as I watched them work. Everything looked beautiful, but it still didn’t feel ready. Today was too important to settle for anything less than perfect.Strong arms wrapped around my waist, startling me slightly as I was pulled into a familiar embrace. “You’re doing it again,” came a deep voice, warm and teasing.I smiled despite myself. “Doing what?”“Worrying over things

Chapter: Epilogue (Part 2)By evening, the pack house was twinkling with lights like fairyland. The afternoon went by with the usual celebrations that we do with the pack members, giving gifts and sharing the feast with them. In the evening, it was time for our guests to arrive.“Merry Christmas!” Shae and Archer were the first ones to arrive, bringing in piles of gifts with them. Their son Reign was six years old now and good friends with Theo.Lia and Jordan followed next, along with their daughter Hyacinth, born six months after the war. Natalie unfortunately couldn’t make it because she was preoccupied, but Catalina did, accompanied by her mate, Alpha Cristian, a man she met at the annual mating ball. She was totally against the idea, but it was Asher who pushed her, asking her to at least give the idea of finding another mate a chance.Catalina reluctantly agreed and, as destiny would have it, she crashed into Cristian. It ruined her expensive evening gown because Cristian ended up spilling champagne on it

Chapter: Epilogue (Part 1)Ivy4 years laterThe day was chilly as hell even though, mercifully, the sun shone bright in the sky, the snowfall finally stopping but covering the entire packhouse in a white blanket. But again, what was Christmas without some snow?I inhaled the fresh, cold air and leaned down to place the bouquet of white lilies on the gravestone. I stared at the beautiful engraved writing and felt the familiar ache in my chest rising for a moment.Our Little Angel,Forever Loved, Never ForgottenIt’s been four years since we lost her, four years since the second Cold War ended, and yet not a day has passed by when I haven’t thought of her. Every year on special occasions, Asher and I bring flowers to decorate her gravestone. And Christmas was something that we never missed.And it wasn’t just her. Around me, rested every person I have once loved dearly and still did. Just beside my unborn daughter’s grave was that of a man who was my best friend and companion, a man who was an example of what lov

Chapter: Chapter-144 IvyThe ruins of MysticWarriors stretched out before me, a haunting blend of beauty and devastation. Where once vibrant life thrived, only remnants of a forgotten past remained. The grand white marble pack house that had stood as a symbol of strength and unity was now reduced to rubble, overgrown with vines and moss. The lush forest surrounding it seemed to mock the destruction.This was home—at least, it had been.I inhaled deeply, the cool mountain air filling my lungs, carrying with it the faint, earthy scent of rain. Somewhere in the distance, the roar of the waterfall could be heard, its sound as steady as the heartbeat of the land. This place held so much of my childhood: laughter shared with friends, the warmth of family, lessons learned under the sunlit canopy of trees. Now, it was little more than a shell of those memories.My father walked ahead, his shoulders slumped, his movements uncharacteri

Chapter: Chapter-143 (Part 2)Asher“Why is that?” Rose asked. “The mark probably has faded now that he is dead. And it wasn’t of any significance anyway, because he wasn’t your true mate, isn’t it?”“It’s not the mark,” Natalie said.“Then what is it, Nat?” Logan demanded, looking worried. “What is it?” Natalie gazed up at us, tears flooding her eyes.“I…I am carrying his child…” Everyone froze for a bit, processing the info until the silence was broken by a resounding bark from Logan.“What?” he roared, his eyes red with fury. “What did you say?”“Logan…calm down,” Cora muttered, grabbing his hand. “Let her speak…”“I…I just found out a few days ago,” she whispered. “Killian was the only man I had any sexual relationship with recently so it’s…it’s obvious that the child is his.”“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath. I don’t even want to imagine how Natalie must be feeling. Killian technically raped her and the child…it wasn’t a product of love between two people but…“I am so sorry, Natalie,” Rose said softly. “Hav
