Chapter: Chapter 32: The Perfect CandidateAna's POV It came out by accident, the way the worst things do.I was in the HR office signing paperwork for the launch bonuses, and the woman helping me, new, young, still eager to be helpful, was pulling up my file, and she said it without thinking."You had the fastest approval I've ever seen, you know.""Sorry?""Your hire." She smiled, still typing. "It's kind of famous in here. Mr. Strauss signed off on it personally. He never does that. Approvals go through three layers before they ever reach him, if they reach him at all." She laughed a little. "Yours skipped all of it. Straight to his desk, approved same day. We were all talking about it."Something in my chest went very still."He approved it personally?" I asked. "The same day?""Mm-hm." She was still reading the screen, oblivious. "Honestly it's why people, um..." She caught herself, finally, and the colour rose in her face. "I mean. It's just unusual. That's all I meant."I should have let it go. But trust me I didn't le

Chapter: Chapter 31: Cracks in Another HomeSebastian's POV I had listened to that phone call a hundred times in my head, and it got worse every time.“He believes every word. He has no idea. Why would he? He thinks the world turns for him.”I sat alone in my study with the door shut and the house dark around me, and I turned it over and over, looking for the innocent version, the reading where it meant nothing.But there wasn't one. I had built my whole career on knowing when someone was lying. I just hadn't wanted to point that gift at the woman I had burned my marriage down for.I got out the calendar and did the thing I had been avoiding for weeks.I counted.The night Nicole first told me she was pregnant. The night she first pressed my hand to her stomach and smiled. I lined it up against the due date, the real one, the one before it started moving, and I counted backward the way any man can count, and the number didn't work.It didn't work at all.Sitting there in the dark with the pen in my hand, I felt something col

Chapter: Chapter 30: The Woman Who Knows Too MuchAna's POV "Evelyn," Caspian said. "I hope you're not boring her.""Never." Evelyn's smile didn't move, but something behind it went still. "We were just getting acquainted. She's charming, Caspian. You could stand to introduce her around more.""I'll keep that in mind." He turned to me. "There's someone who wants to meet you, but give me a moment with Evelyn first."It wasn't a request. I had learned to hear the difference."Of course," I nodded.He guided Evelyn a few steps away, towards the edge of the room, his hand light on her elbow, and I stared at them go, and I saw the thing that happened when they thought no one was looking.The pleasant faces dropped.I couldn't hear the words. The room was too loud, the music, the hundred careful conversations. But I didn't need the words.I saw the way Caspian's jaw set. I saw Evelyn lift her chin and say something short and sharp back at him, unafraid, one of the only people in that entire gold room who would meet his eyes and not flinch

Chapter: Chapter 29: The GalaAna's POV Three days later, I was standing in the middle of Caspian's bedroom, staring at the dress someone had delivered that morning, wondering when exactly my life had stopped feeling like my own.It was midnight blue, and it cost more than I used to make in a month, and it fit like it had been sewn on me, because of course it had, because a man who taped torn money back together doesn't guess at a size. I put it on. I looked at the stranger in the mirror. And I let him take me to the gala, because I had said yes in the lamplight at three in the morning, and because some tired part of me wanted, just once, to stop hiding.°°°°°°°°°°The room was gold and big and full of the most powerful people I had ever been near.I felt it the moment we walked in. Not the wealth, though the wealth was everywhere, dripping off wrists and hanging from ears. Something else. The way the whole room turned, like flowers to a light, the second Caspian stepped through the door with his hand at the s

Chapter: Chapter 28: The Boy Who Never SleptCaspian's POV I heard her bare feet in the hallway before I saw her.I didn't turn around. I sat at the desk in my home office with one lamp on, and I waited, because there was nowhere for either of us to go at three in the morning except towards the thing we had been avoiding all night."You weren't in bed," she said from the doorway."No.""It's three in the morning, Caspian.""I'm aware of the time." I set my pen down. "I usually am."She stepped into the room. "What do you mean, you usually are?""I mean I don't sleep much." I leaned back. "Three, maybe four hours. On a good night. There aren't many good nights."She came closer. "Since when?""Since I was a boy." I heard the words leave me and couldn't quite believe I was saying them out loud. "You learn to work while the rest of the world sleeps. It's quiet. No one wants anything from you. It's the only time the noise stops.""That's not normal," she said softly. "Four hours. For years.""Normal was never on the table for me, A

Chapter: Chapter 27: The Wrong AnswerAna's POV "Are you pulling away from me, Anastasia?""No." The word came quickly, and I heard how it sounded. "I'm setting boundaries. At work. That's all this is.""Boundaries." He said the word like he was tasting something bitter. "That's a clean word for it.""It's the true word for it. There's a difference between work and this, between the office and here, and I'm trying to keep them separate so I can survive the office. That's not the same as pulling away from you.""Isn't it?" He slowly came around the counter, that unhurried way he had that made my heart speed up whether I wanted it to or not. "I have seen people set boundaries my whole life. Do you know what a boundary is, really? It's a fence you build one panel at a time so that when you finally walk away, you can tell yourself the fence was always there. That you never really let them in at all.""That's not what I'm doing.""Then why does it feel exactly like that.""Because you can't tell the difference," I said, sharp

Chapter: Chapter 138EVA’S POVAs I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, memories of that fateful night came flooding back. The night I fled from my pack, searching for the aura that had intoxicated me. It seemed like a long time ago, but I remembered it like it was yesterday.I closed my eyes and let my mind wander back to that night. I remembered the way the moonlight had filtered through the trees, casting shadows on the forest floor. The cool breeze had brushed against my skin, and I had felt alive.I recalled how I had stumbled upon Zayn. He had been washing himself in the river, looking handsome and breathtaking. I had been so surprised to see him there, but I had felt drawn to him.I recalled the good memories we created in such a short time together. I had felt a connection with him, a bond that I had not felt in a very long time.

Chapter: Chapter 137ZAYN’S POVI awakened and quietly sat up, I didn't want to wake Eva up. I was feeling utterly betrayed as I watched her sleep peacefully on the rocking chair after breaking my heart with her hurtful words.My heart sank. She really didn't care about me at all. Her reason for wanting to leave was stupid!! Just because I was an Omega. It felt like there was a crushing weight on my chest, and I couldn't breathe.I always thought we were deeply in love, that our bond was unbreakable. But I guess I was wrong. Eva had no qualms about leaving me behind, she was ready to leave me to bear the brunt of the hurt alone.I couldn't help but wonder if I was ever truly loved by her. Did she only stay with me because she thought I was an Alpha? The thought made me sick to my stomach. I felt like a fool for trusting her with my heart.I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to spill, but it was a futile effort. One escaped, then another. And before I knew it, I was sobbing like a little girl un
