Chapter: Chapter 45[Elena's POV]Noah stared at me for a long moment, then he turned to Caleb. "Take them to the holding cells first," he ordered. "Then prepare fifty thousand for each of their families. The sister's medical bills. The father's medication. All of it."What? Did he just...?Relief flooded through me so fast I almost felt dizzy.Holy shit. He actually listened to me.Noah Marlowe, Mr. N! The ruthless mafia boss was showing mercy? Did he grow a conscience? Was this what happened when you got kidnapped? Did near-death experiences unlock hidden empathy?Maybe there was hope for him after all. Maybe underneath all that cold calculation, there was actually a—"Thank you—""I'm not finished," Noah cut me off.He pulled out his phone, tapping quickly."Caleb, also prepare ten million in liquid assets. Tomorrow morning when the market opens, Marlowe Enterprises stock will drop because of the kidnapping news. Buy heavily at the low. Then—" he glanced at his watch, "—release the statement that I've

Chapter: Chapter 44[Elena's POV]The Bentley surged forward.The Harleys matched our speed effortlessly.And one of them, the one closest to Noah's window, reached into his jacket.I saw the glint of metal. It was from a gun."Mr. Marlowe," I said, my voice tight. "They're armed.""I know," he said calmly like this was all going exactly according to plan.SJ was sweating now, his eyes darting between the road and the motorcycles flanking us."What do they want?" he yelled. "What the fuck do they want?"Noah leaned forward slightly, his voice dropping to a near-whisper that somehow carried more weight than a shout."They want," he said, "to see if you're smart enough to stop. Or stupid enough to die."The motorcycles closed in tighter.One pulled ahead, forcing SJ to swerve.Another came up on the passenger side, so close I could see the Velgrave skull painted on the rider's helmet."SJ!" the tall robber in the passenger's seat shouted. "We can't outrun them! We gotta stop!""NO!" SJ screamed. "We're alm

Chapter: Chapter 43[Elena's POV]As I was being shoved toward the Bentley, something caught my eye.It was a tiny red dot. Was that laser sight?It appeared on the chest of the tall robber pushing Noah forward, then drifted slowly upward toward his head.My blood went cold.Noah had arranged a sniper without my noticing.Of course he had. Because apparently kidnapping a Billionaire with a double life came with complimentary execution services.The red dot steadied on the tall robber's temple. Any second now, his brains would be splattered across Noah's expensive car, and I'd be standing right next to the mess.I thought of what he'd said inside the café."I just need enough for my sister's hospital bills."His sister. Probably it was some kid or poor woman somewhere waiting for her brother to come home with money for treatment.And in about two seconds, she'd be waiting forever.My body moved before my brain caught up.I stepped directly behind the tall robber, blocking the sniper's line of sight with m

Chapter: Chapter 42[Elena's POV]The lead robber hesitated, then jerked his head at his companions."Search him," he ordered. "Make sure he's not carrying."The thinner of the two accomplices moved forward, but his steps were reluctant, uncertain."Boss," he said, his voice muffled by the mask. "I don't know about this. Noah Marlowe's famous. We knock over a couple stores, we get caught, maybe we do a few months. But kidnapping a billionaire? That's federal. That's life in prison. Or worse."He shifted his weight nervously."I just wanted to get my dad some decent meds, man. This is way too hot."The taller accomplice nodded quickly. "Yeah. I'm with him. I just need enough for my sister's hospital bills. This is... this is too much."Something twisted in my chest.Their family and medical bills.I thought of my mom lying in that hospital bed, tubes and monitors beeping, waiting for a surgery I couldn't afford on my own. She couldn't be saved until I sold my freedom and dignity to Noah.God, I actually f

Chapter: Chapter 41[Elena's POV]Noah didn't move.His gaze shifted to the man holding me, and something in his expression made my blood run cold.It was the look of a predator deciding exactly how to kill its prey.The other two robbers had already emptied the cash register, stuffing bills into their duffel bag. They moved to the terrified customers, snatching phones and jewelry with rough efficiency.One of them reached Nicole."Bitch! Your f*cking phone, jewelry! Now!" he barked.Nicole's hands trembled as she continued to pull off her earrings, her bracelet, fumbling with the clasp of her necklace."Please," she said, her voice shaking as she held everything out. "Please don't hurt my friend. Take whatever you want, just don't hurt her."Tears streaked down her face as she handed over her phone and wallet.The robber snatched them and moved on.Outside, police sirens wailed, getting closer. The sound seemed to surround the café.I saw Noah's eyes flick toward the door at the sound, and something cha

Chapter: Chapter 40[Elena's POV]"Lena," he said, his voice rough. "It's me. Still remember San Gabriel Valley? The last vacation spot our family visited together!"Tears blurred my vision again.San Gabriel Valley.The memory hit me like a wave, splashing in the lake, Adrian teaching me to float on my back, the sun warm on my face. Mom laughing on the shore. Dad sober for once, smiling. My brother had taught me how to swim that day.After two months, our family went bankrupt. Since then Adrian had hidden me in his closet when our father came home drunk and angry, whispering that it would be okay, that he'd always protect me.The boy who'd disappeared when I was seven years old.When he called my name now, the concern and tenderness in his olive-green eyes remained unchanged from that little boy who'd promised to keep me safe.And then I was moving, closing the distance between us, throwing my arms around him and holding on like I used to when I was small and scared and the world felt too big.He caught

Chapter: Chapter 82"It's probably because of this." Ellis rubbed his nose, then pulled out his smartphone and played one of the most popular short videos on Tik Tok for Tobias.The video was uploaded by Mae, Ellis' mate.In the video, Tobias was staring intently into a microscope.As Mae was filming, she asked him.[Hey, you loser who cheated on your wife with a double identity and ended up being locked up by your grandfather relying on your wife to save you, have you researched a potion that restores the shifting ability of your perfect wife yet?]Tobias remembered it was this morning when Mae visited here to check on the progress of his potion research, like a cold and incapable boss asking in the coldest of tones why your report was done as well as shit before the deadline of an unprecedented project.Annoying enough to make him want to blacklist her from the Wilton Family."You know what? Ellis, I'm thinking about letting your damn mate experience what it's like to be on the Wilton Family's blacklis

Chapter: Chapter 81"Allie!" Tobias shouted and then glanced at Lee.Lee, witnessing the unfolding chaos, reacted swiftly. He aimed his gun and, with a single shot, ended the life of one of the men restraining Tobias.The gunshot reverberated, momentarily freezing Martin's wolf and the others in the lab. Lee, facing Martin's wolf, expressed regret but stood firm, "I'm sorry, Martin,I can't watch that girl die."Seizing the opportunity, Tobias shifted into a massive black wolf that took up nearly half of the lab and shattered the glass prison with ease.With unparalleled strength, Tobias' wolf attacked Martin, the older gray wolf feeling the sting of his waning power as the younger wolf sank its teeth into his neck.However, just as Tobias prepared to deliver the final blow, Martin shifted back into his human form.Tears streamed down his face as he pleaded desperately, "Toby, I am your grandfather. Don't kill me."The giant black wolf narrowed his eyes and showed him fangs sharper than knives. It looked

Chapter: Chapter 80The cold atmosphere within the laboratory seemed to thicken as Martin's unnerving smile lingered."Looks like you two had a nice chat," Martin remarked, his voice carrying a sinister edge. "The full moon is on duty. So, Allie, shall we get started?"The pale light of the full moon cast an otherworldly glow, setting the stage for the impending challenge. Alicia and Tobias exchanged a glance, a silent reassurance passing between them.Alicia, her composure unwavering, nodded gracefully and stood up. She held Martin's gaze, firm and unyielding, as she made her request, "You must release Tobias now."Martin, as if amused by her audacity, merely shrugged. With a subtle gesture, he signaled the lab staff, dressed in pristine white attire, to release Tobias from his glass prison.The mechanical hiss of unlocking echoed in the glass sterile room as Tobias was yanked up from the bed by Lee and led towards the exit of the glass room. His eyes locked onto Alicia.As Tobias passed by her, he stop

Chapter: Chapter 79"You hid your special healing powers from me. So we're even." Tobias joked and winked at Alicia instead of telling her the truth.If they hadn't been in this damn glass prison, Tobias would have chosen to take her in his arms and tell her all of his story, instead of what he was doing now, where he looked like an object to be dissected on a lab table."You're still in the mood for jokes?" Alicia raised an eyebrow and twisted Tobias' arm a little harder, "Tell me why? Otherwise, I'll never say a word to you again."Tobias pretended to grimace in pain and then sighed at Alicia, "I'm sorry. As a husband, I don't want to drag my wife into danger. As a lead of rogues, I can't bear to keep my luna ready to fight at all times. ""You think you're cool to say that, huh?" Alicia asked, tears flowing from her eyes and brushing her cheeks.Tobias forced a small smile and wanted to wipe the tears from Alicia's face, but since his wrists were still pinned to the bed, he couldn't."Now I don't go w

Chapter: Chapter 78Alicia's heart raced as she stared Martin."You see, Martin," she spoke with a steadiness that masked her inner turmoil, "If you try to take this ring by force, I'll swallow it and shift. Then...”"Shift? Seriously?" Martin’s look turned gloomy as he interrupted Alicia’s words."Lee, you must not inform Allie that the serum she was injected by me was able to temporarily seal her shifting abilities, right?" After the words, Martin turned to Lee.Lee pursed his lips and told Martin. "I did. But she didn't seem very surprised when she heard about it."Martin frowned and shifted his gazes to Alicia again only to find her meaningful smile."Didn't expect it, huh? That serum you talk about is nothing to me." "Well, that’s a real surprise to me." Martin sighed and wore a sad face to tell Alicia, "Go ahead and swallow the ring, kid. I've got doctors here who specialize in dissecting corpses."Then he raised his head and ordered Lee who was standing behind Alicia, "Lee, you know what to do ne

Chapter: Chapter 77With trembling fingers, Alicia retrieved a necklace from an old wooden box under the bed.All the stuff in that box belonged to her mother. She touched the necklace which adorned with a photograph capturing the essence of her mother.The woman in that old photo possessed clear blue eyes and flowing blonde hair. Alicia wore it around her neck, clutching the pendant.Mom, please, please do help me and give me courage to save Tobias. My moon god, please grant me a protection of my baby growing in my body. A silent prayer escaping her lips.Lee sighed and then drove Alicia to the St. Crescent Medical Center.through the sterile corridors of the looming danger—the St. Crescent Medical Center.“Oh, no...” Stepping into the heavily guarded lab, Alicia covered her mouth in shock at the scene before her. Mae, Ellis, and a host of Alphas lay unconscious on the cold floor like a pile of subjects waiting to be experimented on.But the sight that pierced Alicia's heart was her mate, Tobias, ensna

Chapter: Chapter 20 Happy EndingTessa's POVEvery head turned toward the entrance. The officiant froze mid-sentence. Alaric's hand tightened around mine, his expression darkening.And Jasper stood there, chest heaving, eyes wild with something desperate and broken."I object," he said again, louder this time, his voice cracking. "Tessa is my mate. She belongs with me."The words should have hurt. Should have stirred something inside me—some ghost of the love I'd once carried for him.But all I felt was cold, quiet certainty.I turned to face him fully, my hand still clasped in Alaric's, my voice steady."No, Jasper. I don't belong to you. I have rejected you."His face crumpled, desperation bleeding through the cracks in his composure. "Tessa, please. I know I was wrong. I know I hurt you. But I can fix this. I can—""You can't." The words came out firm, final. "You made your choice. And I've made mine."I felt Alaric's thumb brush against my knuckles, a quiet reassurance, and I drew strength from it.Jasper's jaw t

Chapter: Chapter 19Jasper's POVThe air left my lungs.Memories crashed over me, Tessa, always there, always steady, always silent. The way she'd looked at me with something soft and aching, the way she'd worked herself to exhaustion for the pack, for me, expecting nothing in return.And I'd thrown it all back in her face.I'd believed Bianca. I'd chosen Bianca and accept Tessa's rejection.I'd humiliated Tessa, broken her, cast her aside like she was nothing.And all along, she'd been the one who saved me.My knees nearly buckled. I gripped the edge of the bed, my hands shaking, my throat tight."Why didn't she tell me?" The words came out strangled, desperate.My father's eyes were steady, unforgiving. "Would you have believed her?"The question hung in the air, brutal and undeniable.No. I wouldn't have.I would have dismissed her, accused her of lying, of trying to manipulate me. Just like I'd done a hundred times before."She's gone now," Jason said quietly. "And you have no one to blame but yourse

Chapter: Chapter 18Jasper's POVThe evidence stared me in the face, undeniable and damning. Bianca's hand on the IV line, her fingers poised to destroy the one chance my father had at survival.My chest tightened, something cold and sharp twisting in my gut.I angrily took her to the pack office.Bianca stumbled toward me, her eyes wide and desperate, tears streaming down her face. "Jasper, please—you have to believe me. I would never—""Don't." The word came out flat, hollow.She flinched, but pressed closer, her hands reaching for my arm, clinging. "It's a misunderstanding. The camera—it's lying. Tessa set me up, she hates me, she wants to destroy us—""Are you still lying?" I pulled my arm free, stepping back.Her face crumpled, panic flashing across her features. "I'm just afraid that when your father wakes up, the elders of the pack won't approve of you becoming Alpha. I'm doing this for you!" "I'm sorry, I did it all for you. I know I was wrong, and I'll do anything to make it up to you." Tears

Chapter: Chapter 17Bianca's POVI watched through the crack in the door as Tessa moved around Jason's sickbed, her hands glowing faintly with that impossible golden light.It made my stomach twist.This wasn't supposed to happen. Tessa wasn't supposed to have a wolf. She wasn't supposed to have power. She was supposed to be nothing—a broken, discarded wolfless that Jasper had finally cast aside.But here she was, wearing the royal insignia like she belonged, her spine straight, her voice calm and steady as she spoke softly to the dying Alpha.Jason's breathing had already steadied. The gray pallor that had clung to his skin for weeks was fading, replaced by the faintest hint of color. His chest rose and fell more easily, his fingers no longer trembling against the sheets.She was healing him.If Jason recovered, everything would fall apart. Jasper's claim to the Alpha position would weaken. The pack elders would question his leadership. Worse, Jason might convince Jasper to take Tessa back—to throw me a

Chapter: Chapter 16 Tessa's POVJasper stared at me as though I were a ghost, something that shouldn't exist. Bianca's eyes narrowed, her pretty features twisting into something ugly.Then she laughed, a high, brittle sound that grated against my ears."Tessa, " She stepped forward, her pink dress swishing around her legs, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "You’re the chief physician? That's impossible."Her eyes raked over me, contempt barely hidden beneath her smile. "You don't even have a wolf. You've never had healing abilities. How could you possibly—""She's right." Jasper's voice cut through the air, low and hard. His eyes bore into mine, searching for something—a crack, a weakness, proof that this was all some elaborate lie. "I've never seen you heal anyone, Tessa. Not once."The accusation hung between us, heavy as a blade.My chest tightened, anger flaring hot and sharp beneath my ribs. Of course they would question me. Of course they couldn't believe I'd become something more than the s

Chapter: Chapter 15 The Chief PhysicianTessa's POVThe silence stretched between us, heavy as iron. Daniel stood near the door, waiting. Alaric's gaze remained fixed on me, steady and patient, as though he had all the time in the world for me to decide.My chest tightened. Jason. The old Alpha who had always treated me with kindness when no one else in that pack had. The man who'd praised my work, who'd acknowledged my worth even when his own son couldn't see it."If you don't wish to go," Alaric said quietly, breaking the stillness, "Daniel will decline on your behalf with my decree. No one will question it."His voice was gentle, but there was steel beneath it—a quiet promise that he would shield me from anything I didn't want to face. The offer should have been a relief. Instead, it only made the ache in my chest deepen.I shook my head slowly. "Jason was one of the few kind wolves in Bloodmoon who truly cared about me."My voice came out steadier than I felt. "He's dying. I should help him."Alaric's expression didn't
