Chapter: Sweet dreams Chris POV"Why don't we kill him?" I shot him a stare, my eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance."Take this," he said, handing Dove the bag, while I whimpered, staring at them, my body trembling."You don't want to do this," he said, his voice laced with a threatening undertone, as he walked towards me, and I instinctively moved backward, my heart pounding in my chest."And where do you think you're going?" one of Dove's men asked, his voice dripping with malice and amusement."You talk too much. We need to end you," he said, a cruel grin spreading across his face, as I found myself apologizing profusely, my voice quivering with fear. But then, unexpectedly, they burst into laughter."Got you again," they said, their laughter echoing through the air, as I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the tears from my eyes."Yeah, you did, and it isn't funny," I said, my voice still shaky, trying to regain my composure."Don't tell me you were crying, bro," they said to me, their tone tea

Chapter: The unpleasing experience Amelia's Pov "I love you," I said, my voice trembling, as he paused, his expression unreadable."Ermm," I stammered, a nervous laugh escaping me."I said that to calm you down, you know, right?" I continued, gesturing with my hands, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on me."You love me, don't you?" he finally asked, his tone questioning, as I turned to leave, feeling the weight of embarrassment overwhelming me. I nodded, unable to find the words."I do, I do love you," I managed to say, my emotions impossible to conceal, as a small smile formed on his lips."But what about your mate? You need to work on your feelings," he replied curtly, turning to leave, and I couldn't believe it."What?" I blurted out, looking around the empty hallway, my embarrassment intensifying."Did I just confess my feelings and get this as a reply?" I murmured, unable to comprehend what had just transpired."Oh no," I whispered, realizing I had gotten myself into trouble.Facing him again seemed impossi

Chapter: A day to be remembered Andrew's PovI couldn't believe it. How did they catch him? I knew he was quick and resourceful. My heart sank as I watched him being dragged closer and closer to us. I could see the fear in his eyes.Pete walked up to him and sneered. "Looks like we caught ourselves a little spy, your savior," he said. "What do you have to say for yourself, Greg?"Greg didn't answer, but I could see the defiance in his eyes. He was always the stubborn one, never backing down from a challenge. I admired him for that, but I also knew it could be his downfall.I stood frozen in horror as Greg was dragged towards us like a sacrificial goat. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and I knew that he had suffered greatly at the hands of these monsters.Pete let out a wicked laugh as he signaled for his men to bind Greg to the stake. "Let's start with him," he said, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.I wanted to rush forward and save him, but I knew it was too late. Greg was already bound, and t

Chapter: Reunited Chris Pov"You two, stop right there." He ordered as we paused in our tracks."Hey, Dove." How're you doing? The man who was sneaking us out earlier said with a huge smile on his face."Do you think we will be caught?" Zeal whispered, staring at me as I shook my head."This place isn't okay for us. Two people have discovered who we are, we need to leave." I said to Zeal who nodded. "We heard that some newbies came into town today." The Dove of a man said coming towards us."Keep your cool." I urged Zeal as Virtue just stared on."We heard you came into town this evening." He said."Yes," I replied."I heard you're tourists." He said as I nodded with a smile, "You heard that right," I said."We hardly have your folks around here. Haven't you heard about us? We hardly entertain strangers." He said as I smiled."I did notice it. Probably didn't do my research well. We leave at dawn." I said as he nodded."It's okay," he said, turning to leave, as I heaved out a sigh of relief when he s

Chapter: Bitter truth Chris Pov "This isn't right. This isn't right." I yelled, scattering my hair."This is a lie, Lucy wouldn't do this to me." I half yelled, running my hands through my hair. "You need to calm down," Clayton said."Calm down?" "Calm down?" That the girl I harbored in my home as a wife was a snake, calm down?""She destroyed my home, my pack, my family and you're telling me to calm down.""I don't even know who to trust." I spat as I went back to Jack who was struggling for his life."Who are her accomplices?" "Just Elias and I.""What about Dave? Who is he to her?" I asked again."He's just her toy, she uses him to satisfy her sexual urge." He said as I shuddered."Come with me," I said as Mr. Clayton hopped into the car."Where are we headed?" Clayton asked."To my pack house."The anger within me consumed every fiber of my being as I sped down the road toward the pack house. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, my knuckles turning white, as my foot pressed firmly on the accel

Chapter: Success Chris Pov Lucy has always looked suspicious, but I didn't want to ever distrust my mate and not think that she was a murderer. I couldn't believe it."You also suspected her, right?" Detective Clayton asked."We had a little argument last night and I just said it, but I never knew it. The Luna of this great pack was a murderer?" "Was that why she was persuading me to drop that case and telling me it wasn't a murder case, but a suicide." I shuddered."So what are you going to do about it now?" He asked, but I was sincerely at a loss. I don't know for real.I was still in shock, it had washed over me like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me in its relentless grip. My fists clenched, and I felt the anger boiling within me, threatening to consume every ounce of rationality."And it appears she's been involved in more than just one murder." He said as I shuddered.My heart was pounding in my chest as a surge of emotions surged through me. I fought to control the anger that threatened

Chapter: 48. Mother and Murder.Chapter 48Eva's Pov"What are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be here." "Whose child is this?" I managed to mutter."Why's a child here?" But the men didn't give me a response. They acted like they couldn't hear any word I asked. The child, a young boy no more than eleven, just stared at me. He took some steps closer, and the way he stared at me sent fear through me."Hey," I struggled despite my bruises and brought my face closer to him."Did they hurt you? These big bad men? Are you looking for your parents? I can hel…" I couldn't even finish my statement when I felt a smack across my face. Blood left my mouth and in that moment, if I was told that I had lost a tooth, I would believe it.I raised my head slowly and the little boy had a sly smile on his face. He had slapped me. Before I could think about anything, he burst out laughing and the big guys behind him followed suit. Mocking."I'm going to help you get to your parents…" one of the guys said in a chipmunk voice, mo

Chapter: 47. Eva is TakenChapter 47Eva's PovI opened my eyes slowly. Where was I? I prayed and hoped not to be in the damn room that had almost taken my life. I prayed I was safe. The feeling of inhaling gas wasn't one I wished on an enemy either. It was hell.The first thing that got to me now was the fresh air. I breathed so fast, my head hurt badly, but suddenly the fresh air stopped and it was replaced by the smell of damp wood and mold, accompanied by something rotting or not. I couldn't tell anymore.I opened my eyes fully and felt the pain. My wrists burned. I looked down slowly, and I was tied with a thick rope. It was cutting into my skin. I pulled, but the pain increased and the rope didn't budge. Even my ankles hurt. I was tied to an old wooden chair.Fucking hell? Where am I? Who brought me here? I had passed out at the lake house, so how was I here? That I couldn't tell?My head throbbed. The gas leak, the masked people, that voice that felt familiar through the mask, but I couldn't remember, a

Chapter: 46: The Boss is Poisoned.Chapter 46Adrian's PovVictor stared at me. With hands in his pockets, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth."Hello, Adrian. Brother, it's been a while and boy, you look tense." I signalled Marcus who excused us immediately."Victor." I didn't offer him a seat, but he took one anyway."The president tells me you're cozying up to Volkov. How true is that?""The president sure does tell you a lot of things." Victor walked past me, trailing his finger along the edge of my desk. "Some of them are even true." I raised my head at him now."My girl. Eva, what have you been doing with her?" A smirk appeared on his lips. He turned to fully face me now."Being there for those who genuinely need help and giving them jobs. It doesn't mean a bad thing, right?""Cut the shit." I stood up now to face him. "What do you want?"He stopped too and turned. His eyes were dark."I want what I've always wanted. Success, power and respect in our world.""Then why are you meeting with my enemies?""Be

Chapter: 45. The Clock is ticking, Adrian.Chapter 45Adrian's Pov"Boss, are you sure about this?" Marcus questioned when I stepped into the conference room. His arms were crossed."I'm never sure about anything, especially that which involves humans and that's why I pay them." I nodded a greeting to the lawyers already seated and sat across from them. They were three lawyers with serious faces. None of them smiled.Mr. Harrington, the lead lawyer, cleared his throat. Everything about him was grey. He had been with the firm for thirty years, which meant he had seen enough to know what happened to people who disappointed me."Mr. Moretti, welcome sir." He got up and shook my hand. I took his hands. And after the pleasantries, brought out a lollipop Eva had gotten from groceries shopping yesterday. I put it into my mouth and saw the look of surprise on their faces. But I ignored it."Your mother doesn't want to go easy on you and your affidavit has been filed with the court. She is also requesting a public hearing." I nodded. I

Chapter: 44. Bye Bye Sister. One of us is going six feet down.Chapter 44Elena's PovMarcus had let me take a walk, after the doctor suggested it. It's been five days now and I've been locked up in here, like I was some prisoner. Finally, I was alone and headed to the location Elliot had sent. It was a small cold room. I sat on a single hard chair in the room, my back pressed against the wall and breathing… It was really difficult trying to breathe in here.But I didn't mind. I was used to discomfort, it was my second name. I had never had anything easy for me.Finally after hours of waiting, the door opened and Elliot walked in, he was smiling and that was never a good sign. I got up immediately to meet his face. He had promised to bring my daughter. "Where is she?" I muttered slowly. "My daughter, you promised to come with her, for me to see her just once, at least." I pushed down the sob. I didn't want him to hit me. He hated sobs."Are you crying?" I shook my head immediately, the sins of my past were catching up with me in the form of thi

Chapter: 43: The Gas Leak Attack... Is Luca Dead?Chapter 43Eva's PovI woke up with the sun on my face. The light spilled through the curtains like liquid gold. I blinked twice and the bed lamp was the first thing I saw. My body felt like it had been taken apart and put back together.A smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.The incident from last night flashed in my mind. From the kitchen counter, to the bedroom, his bathtub and then his mouth. My face was flushed with embarrassment.I stretched. My muscles ached in the most delicious way. I turned my head to the side, ready to meet his eyes and whisper good morning in that sleepy voice that always made him pull me closer.But the pillow was empty. He wasn't there. I sat up fast, my heart stumbling.The room was still, but his scent was everywhere. My eyes scanned the room. His clothes from last night were gone. His phone wasn't on the nightstand. Only mine remained, face-down.Where is he?A knot formed in my stomach. I couldn't tell why I felt this way. This was his hou

Chapter: Dear-exhusband... Last chance.Daniel’s POV“Take this and leave." A frown was etched on my face as I pulled my car into the parking lot of the motel that had housed me for the past week.The woman I picked at the club hurried to put on her clothes. I had lost interest in almost everything. It's been three years since I tossed Evelyn out into the rain, and every single night since then has felt like a slow crawl through hell. I should have stayed with her. I leaned my head tiredly on the steering wheel and got lost in thoughts. It was now a routine for me. The company was losing money at an alarming rate. My trusted board members were now circling like vultures. They sensed the weakness and there was nothing I could do, they all needed money. I missed Evelyn, not the sturdy worker my mother had mocked, but the woman who had stayed up nights to save my company without asking for a single word of praise. Sophie didn't care about the legacy or my consent. She only cared about the credit cards and what it could g

Chapter: I'm Back, Dear Ex-husbandEvelyn’s POVThree years later.I heaved a sigh as I adjusted my blazer before looking through my office window. My shoulders relaxed as I gulped down a bottle of water, my mind reminiscing about the events of the past years. Who would have thought the woman who was once scorned would turn out to be a successful businesswoman that even the men topping the charts bowed to?It's mainly in novels that the woman who once hung on every word of her ex-husband would stand independently on her own in a short time. The past couple of years were tough, but slowly and steadily, I made it through it all with the help of Alex, my very own savior. There was something I never talked about, my body had changed. I didn’t get sick anymore, I barely slept, but never felt tired and my hearing was extremely strong. Doctors called it “adrenal adaptation.” I stopped asking questions. For two years, I've had dreams of running through a particular forest barefoot and very fast and it was always peaceful

Chapter: This was the night you call 'that night'Evelyn’s POVA baby.The one thing Beatrice had screamed at me about for forty-eight months, and the one thing Daniel had used as a cold weapon to distance himself from my bed. He wasn't sterile. He just hadn't wanted a child with me."A baby?" I choked out, the word bitter in my mouth.Sophie smiled sweetly as she smoothed her hand over her perfectly flat stomach.“A Pierce heir, Evelyn. Something a woman built like a linebacker could never provide for a man like Daniel."Laughter erupted around me, making the ache in my heart increase. I dared to look at the crowd and met eyes with some of Daniel’s board members. The very people I had saved from a business crisis were laughing as if it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. I looked from one cruel face to the other, but even then, I swallowed my shame and turned back to Daniel, who was also laughing."Daniel, please," I sobbed, dropping to my knees. I didn't care about my pride anymore. The seventy-two hours of work, the ex

Chapter: Well...When you don't pay attention to a cheating man.Evelyn’s POVAs I tearfully watched Daniel walk away, I knew there was nothing I could do. Ignoring my aching joints, I gently climbed the stairs and headed to our room, all the while ignoring Beatrice’s mocking gaze.For the four years of my marriage to Daniel, I have tried everything I could to be a good daughter-in-law to Beatrice, but the harder I tried to please her, the more her hate for me increased. Still, the love I had for Daniel kept me going.When I got to the room, I didn’t dare to shower, fearing I would waste more time and then offend Daniel again. The moment the door shut behind me, everything became silent and suddenly loud. I could hear the music downstairs, glasses clinking everything. My breath hitched, why could I hear everything? And soon it stopped again. I walked to my closet and pulled out the elegant black lace dress I had kept specially for this occasion. As my hands moved over the dress, a small smile crept onto my face.“Everything is going to be fine

Chapter: The symptomsEvelyn’s POVThe constant beep of the monitor slowly drew me to consciousness. I tried to open my eyes, but winced at the brightness in the room.The muscle in my back and shoulders ached with a deep, throbbing pain that made it almost impossible to move. I shifted and a sting flared across my collarbone. I frowned and touched it, it had three thin scratches and I was bleeding from it. I couldn't remember getting hurt. When I opened my eyes, a nurse was hovered over me. My mind was blank for a moment before memories flooded back in. For seventy-two hours, I had been hunched over crisis and negotiation tables, fighting off the sharks trying to swallow Daniel’s company whole. I had won the war, but my body had finally paid the price. Daniel, my husband, had pushed me beyond my limit, even after I complained a few times about feeling lightheaded.“You’re awake,” I heard her say, but her voice was strangely loud and the voices of patients filled my head. I could hear everything, even

Chapter: WISE DISASTER AURELIA My eyes flung open at the whispers and footsteps in the background. But I felt heavy to get up, I felt like I had slept for days as I weakly stared at the Dregs, rearranging the room. Dregs were the lowest set in the pack , found in the Northern Kingdom after the thralls and chainborns who no longer exist after being exiled. They were the lowest of the low , and couldn't speak or look at the eyes of royals, so it was humiliating to be served by them, since they are servants of the omegas and gammas. Slowly, I got up and stared at them, and as always, they immediately averted their gaze and continued with their duty. I beckoned on the girl with messy blonde hair, but she didn't move. “You won’t die,” I whispered, but she hesitated. My phone wasn’t by my bedside, and I couldn’t remember what had happened last night. How did I fall asleep? Didn’t Ariston’s antidote work to clear the herb? My last memory was pretending to pass out as the Betas led me away. But her

Chapter: TWIST (TWIN SWAP)AURELIA I looked around the small apartment Ariston brought me to. It was very quiet and plain. There were no triggering scents or anything to stir Xena and wake her. Ariston prioritized my safety. Nothing here felt like the pack house, but I didn't care. Not now. The warm woods, and thick carpets didn't matter to me. I preferred this peaceful, clean, modern place. I still wasn’t fully processing everything Ariston had told me. My head was too full and too empty at the same time. I needed to find the second wolf to save myself… but I didn’t even know where to start. If Aiden was the only man I had ever been with… then it had to be him. The moment the thought came, doubt crept in. If Aiden was truly an unbound wolf, then Tania wouldn’t be able to carry his child. His seed would be too strong for a regular werewolf, unless he wasn't the second wolf I needed to find. But the more I thought about it, Aiden has never transformed before. I had hid my wolf because my grand

Chapter: UNBOUND WOLFAURELIA “Mate…” I woke up with that word still pressed on my lips like a prayer. The first thing that reached me was the sterile smell of antiseptic and the soft beeping of medical equipment. The lights above were too harsh and white, making me squint as I tried to blink the room into focus. I lifted a hand to rub my eyes and froze. Something was wrong. I… couldn’t see clearly. Normally I could manage without my glasses for a little while, my wolf vision compensated even when my actual eyesight didn’t. But now all I could see was blurry lines and floating shadows. My fingers trembled as I patted weakly around the sheets, searching for my glasses, panic setting in. Despite being a wolf, I'd had issues with my visions, most times I doubted if I was truly a wolf, Xena's presence was the only reassurance I had. Xena… I tried reaching for her, but I couldn't feel her presence. Fear set in. I knew something was wrong as I sat up, trying to get used to the strange room. Thi

Chapter: JOURNEY TO A NEW LIFE AURELIA I had thought today was going to be my happiest day. And from the way I gasped, you would have thought I ran all the way home. I walked in to meet the elders seated in the room. Their presence was a strange sight, but I barely noticed them in my excitement. I should have known something was wrong, but my joy blinded me. “You’re pregnant,” the doctor had said earlier, and those words were everything. I was an omega, so being pregnant was a miracle. But when I rushed in to share the news with my mate, the Alpha of Lilac Valley, the air turned cold and rage boiled in me. I wanted to scream; my mouth was open, but no sound escaped my lips. “No.” That was the only word I could mutter. “Aiden?” I whimpered in a trembling voice as he stopped moaning and turned to stare at me. His eyes held no remorse but rage as he pulled out of the lady beneath him. “What are you doing here, Lia?” he shouted, his voice laced with venom. “I told you, you couldn’t show up here unless I sent f
