Chapter: Chapter Forty Seven
Dread crept over her, a chill running down her spine. She stared at the message, a surge of fear and confusion flooding her mind. Who was behind this threat? The text had come from a different number. Her thoughts raced, trying to make sense of the menacing warning.With a shaky hand, she put the phone down, her mind reeling with a thousand questions and an equal number of fears. The ominous message echoed in her mind, leaving her on edge and uncertain of what would come next.Taking in a deep breath, she composed herself and walked out of the building, hurrying to the one person that made her feel safe in all the chaos revolving around her life.Crystal threw herself at Ryke immediately she set her eyes on him, catching him off guard, and he hesitated before wrapping his arms around her. It was unexpected; her words of missing him, the sudden embrace, all of it felt unreal to him, especially given the strained circumstances between them.When they finally disconnected from the hug, R

Chapter: Chapter Forty Six
“I asked you a question, Crystal,” Logan gritted his teeth.Shaking her head, Crystal took a step back from the painting and let out a hollow laugh, “I just realized something. Crystal? I thought I was snowflake.”Logan’s glare intensified, “That still doesn’t answer my question.”Crystal rolled her eyes and turned to Isabella, “So I guess I was wrong and you are innocent,” she spat."Wrong or not, it doesn't change the fact that I had nothing to do with whatever mess you've found yourself in," Isabella finally spoke, her voice calm but tinged with an undercurrent of irritation.Crystal's frustration flared, her eyes narrowing as she retorted, “Logan might have gotten you out but I know what I saw and I have evidence. There are also witnesses that saw you enter Ryke’s mansion.”Isabella chuckled darkly, a bitter edge to the sound. "Evidence can be deceiving, and witnesses can be manipulated. You should know that, Crystal."Crystal shook her head in disbelief. "I trusted you, Isabella

Chapter: Chapter Forty Five
Crystal stepped into the sterile, echoing confines of the visiting room at the correctional facility. Her breath caught as she caught sight of Isabella, sitting calmly, seemingly indifferent to the world around her. Crystal's heart pounded against her chest as she approached the table, her emotions in turmoil, her hands trembling with a mix of apprehension and longing for answers."Isabella," Crystal's voice quivered slightly as she took a seat across from her former best friend. Isabella lifted her gaze casually, her expression unreadable. Crystal's eyes searched Isabella's face, seeking any hint of remorse, of the friendship they once shared, but found nothing."I'm surprised you came," Isabella remarked casually, her tone devoid of emotion. "I had to," Crystal replied, her voice breaking slightly. "I need to understand, Bels. Why? Why did you do it?"Isabella leaned back in her chair, a faint smirk playing at the corners of her lips. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she

Chloe slowly fluttered her eyes open, the hazy blur of the hospital room coming into focus. The sterile scent, the faint hum of machines, all too familiar yet always disconcerting. As her vision cleared, she caught sight of Christian, his relief evident as their eyes met.A faint smile tugged at Christian's lips, but Chloe could see the underlying worry etched in the lines of his face, his attempt at humor failing to mask his concern. "Hey there, sleeping beauty," he quipped, a weak attempt to lighten the weight of the moment. "Is this becoming our thing now? Almost getting killed and ending up in the hospital?”Chloe managed a small, tired chuckle, but the gravity of their situation weighed heavily upon her. "Seems like it," she murmured, her voice hoarse from the ordeal. "But I wouldn't mind a change of pace anytime soon."Their banter masked the underlying tension that lingered in the air. Chloe's gaze softened as she reached out, her fingers lightly brushing against Christian's ha

Chapter: Chapter Forty Three
The cacophony of voices echoed around him, distant yet somehow piercing. He found himself standing in the hazy periphery of a scene, a memory from his childhood that remained etched in his subconscious—the day he overheard his parents arguing.Their voices, once muffled whispers, now reverberated sharply through the walls, a symphony of discord that shook the very foundation of his understanding. Logan crept closer to the partially ajar door of his father’s study, drawn by the urgency in his parents' voices. He lingered, unseen, on the periphery of their heated exchange."I can't believe you're bringing this up again!" Jessica’s voice was filled with a mixture of anguish and exasperation."Jessica, he deserves to know," his father's voice replied, the weight of responsibility tinged with a hint of sorrow.Their words were like shards of glass, piercing Logan's sheltered world, fragmenting the illusion of his reality. He stood frozen, unseen, as the truth unfolded in the exchange bet

Chapter: Chapter Forty Two
Logan's sleek black sedan pulled up outside the police station. Stepping out, his demeanor was one of controlled urgency, every stride purposeful as he approached the entrance.Approaching the front desk, he spoke with a tone that demanded attention. "I need to speak with someone in charge regarding the arrest of Isabella Montez."The officer behind the desk regarded Logan with a hint of skepticism, his uniform crisply pressed as he sized up the affluent newcomer. "I'm sorry, sir. I can't provide details about ongoing cases."Logan's frustration simmered beneath his controlled demeanor. "I understand, but Ms. Montez's arrest is a mistake. I need to rectify this immediately."The officer glanced at his computer screen before meeting Logan's gaze. "I'll see if someone can speak with you, sir. Please wait here."Minutes dragged like hours as Logan paced the station's lobby, his mind racing with a myriad of scenarios and strategies to make Isabella's release. Finally, a stern-looking de

Fated to my One Night Stand

Fated to my One Night Stand

Amber Moon gave up her title as Princess and heir to the Realm and spent three years as an Omega to prove love was real, only to watch the man she sacrificed everything for choose her best friend instead. Betrayed and heartbroken, she ran. In the forest where Rogues attacked, a stranger saved her life. Under the full moon, they realized they were fated mates and gave in to a steamy one-night stand, never seeing each other’s face. At dawn, she woke alone, told she meant nothing by a man posing as her mate’s subordinate. Shattered, Amber returned to the Palace and agreed to the contract marriage her father had been demanding—to Axel Edgewood, the Alpha she’d never met. But when Axel walked into the room, Amber’s world tilted. He was the wolf from the forest. Her mate. The man who’d thrown her away. And he didn’t recognize her because of her hidden identity. But she did him. Axel had spent his life fulfilling duty. Now, bound by a curse, he stood across from a Princess he didn’t want and proposed a one-year contract marriage. Fulfill their duty, then walk away. For Amber, one year was freedom from the man she hated. For Axel, one year to find the mate he’d lost. Neither expected the curse to demand more than a contract. Or for the secrets between them to tear the Realm apart—hers is a ticking clock she doesn’t know exists, his is a darkness that kills without mercy. One year. One contract. One impossible truth. What happens when the mate you’re searching for is the wife you’re trying to escape? And when the man you’re running from is the only one who can keep you alive?

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Five: Epilogue II
~Axel’s POV~Epilogue TwoI had this problem, and I couldn’t decide if it was minor or something closer to major.All I knew was that I never wanted to find a solution for it, because the problem was that I fell in love with Amber Moon a little bit more every single time I looked at her. And now, with her standing right in front of me, staring up at me with more than one question written across her beautiful blue eyes, I felt it happen all over again, that same slow build I had stopped trying to explain a long time ago, right up to the point where I genuinely hadn’t thought it was possible to love her any more than I already did.And then tomorrow would come, and somehow, it always did anyway.I leaned in this time, giving her the smile first before the kiss, and pulled back only far enough to answer her.“Yes.”And that was the truth. Somewhere in the middle of all of it, I had made peace with the fact that maybe Nicholas Edgewood simply had to be exactly who he was, a repetition of

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Four: Epilogue I
~Amber’s POV~Eight Months Later “If I had known it would take me seeing Mum, and her telling me to tell you to do something about that stomach, for you to actually do something about it, then I really should have died sooner.”The grin on my face got immediately shut down by the glare that slammed onto my father’s face, and he dropped the dumbbell in his hand hard enough to rattle the floor.“That’s still not funny, Amber.”“Come on, Dad.” I groaned, lowering my own bar to the ground. “It’s been eight months. It’s a little funny. Just a tiny little—”I threw myself at him before I could finish the sentence, jumping onto him the exact same way I used to when I was small enough that he could catch me without effort, and burst out laughing when he staggered back a full step under the weight of it.“Aren’t you a little too old for this?”He peeled me off him anyway, shaking his head, though there was no real annoyance in it.“You are exhausting, Amber Crystabel Moon.”“But you cannot hel

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Three: Life, Huh?
~Amber’s POV~I’ve been having mixed feelings about this, so to the non-existent people that I made existent, if that’s even a real word, I will pose this question forward.Life, huh?Okay then, and for clarity, I just counted one to forty, because I was kind of expecting a representative to pop out and answer my question with, “I know, right? Life is just so crazy.”Or did it not happen because you guys were expecting more? Okay, with more clarity, that was all. So…Still nothing?As I thought the thought, I moved my head around the room, waiting for the pop-up, and I’m still waiting, but that was funny, right?Thought the thought.It sounds so stupid.Anyway… since you have all decided it won’t be happening today, I shall just go on with this bizzare thing I am currently doing, because I have a smile on my face, and with everything I have been through, I would love nothing more than to keep it that way. So imma just keep going.I’m thinking of writing a book.And since it has been d

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Two: In This Lifetime and Every Single One After
~Amber’s POV~“You know, when you tied your hair up and did the whole ‘we are getting through that door’ macho thing, I genuinely thought you had a plan.”I was already irritated by my many, many failed attempts to figure out how to make it to the door, and his amusement only served to grind that irritation down further.My eyes snapped to him, narrowing. “One more word out of you, and I swear I will push you down there myself.”The only response I got was a grin spreading across his stupid, handsome face. “Go ahead. But can I stay long enough to watch you try a couple more times first? The grunting noises you make while thinking are honestly quite enjoyable.”“Knock it off, Axel. This is serious.” I snapped, whirling on him fully. “Why aren’t you taking this seriously? Your body is out there right now, time is running out, and you are making jokes? Get up and—”“And do what?” He cut me off, voice suddenly quiet, steady. “We cannot make that jump, Amber. That is not me giving up. That

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty One: Bam Bam Ram Bam Bam Ram
~Timothy’s POV~What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do when two dead bodies are staring at you?And there is a chance that you might be responsible for the murder of one of them if the spell you cast goes wrong and you can’t bring him back to life.And he doesn’t make it back himself.So you stay there, staring at him, singing this song you composed to distract yourself from your own impending panic, a song that sounds wildly off-key, mostly because his eyes are closed, and so are the eyes of the other person, the best friend you are both risking all of this for, because you love her so much, and you cannot stand the idea of her being goneeeeeeeeeeeeeee.Bam bam ram bam bam ram.“Bam bam ram bam bam ram?”A voice cut through from behind me, and I nearly came out of my own skin, scrambling around so fast I almost tripped over my own feet, my head snapping toward whoever was responsible for scaring the actual life out of me.Jameson.“Jesus Christ, are you trying to give me a h

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty: Holy Sh*t
~Axel’s POV~“The Amber Crystabel Moon that I know would be clawing her way back to us right now. I would bet my life on it. Bring her home.”Those were Timothy’s exact last words before I felt my own heart stop and it would have been irritating, how completely right he had been, if relief hadn’t slammed through every part of my being at once, colliding with grief and terror and something close to disbelief the moment my eyes found her, right after I had climbed through ground that had split open beneath my own feet a heartbeat earlier.She was there.Being dragged backward across cracked earth toward a door was definitely one of the ones Timothy had explained that neither of us could go through. I didn’t think. I ran.I closed the distance in seconds, wind screaming past me from every direction, tearing at my clothes, at my skin and I caught her wrist, closing my hand around it with everything I had, and pulled.The wind fought back. I fought harder.I hauled her toward me, tearing
