He should have been satisfied.
Lucas had dismantled the Montage Empire, reduced its legacy to ash. Arabella Montage had nothing left: no power, no family, no future. Just her name and a heartbeat he hadn’t yet taken.
But when he saw her on that auction stage, trembling under harsh lights, something inside him shifted.
She was being sold like livestock. A girl once untouchable, now displayed for the highest bidder.
He was the architect of her ruin.
And still... he bought her.
She was the last remaining piece of the empire he had destroyed. And he needed to possess it. To possess her. To own the symbol of everything he had conquered. To fill the aching void that victory hadn't satisfied.
She used to be a free bird. Until he clipped her wings.
Now, he would remake her. Mold her. Give her purpose again, just so he could tear it all away.
Break her.
Destroy her, all over again.
He didn’t want her dead. Anything was acceptable, as long as her heart kept beating.
To her, he’s just another powerful man playing God.
But one thing becomes terrifyingly clear:
Lucas will keep her heart beating, just so he can be the one to crush it. Again and again

Chapter: Chapter 142: His toothless" I miss him,” Lucas admitted with an aching chuckle. “Toothless. I miss the both of them so much.” "I miss them both so much it feels like I’m breathing glass. I can see her I can watch her walk to work and back. But Amal? He’s always tucked away against her chest, hidden in that carrier like a chick under a protective hen. I can’t even get a glimpse of his chubby cheeks."He let out a heavy sigh. “Maybe I’m being greedy. I already get to see her.”His hand unconsciously stroked the small photo he kept in his pocket — the only image he had of his son, taken right after birth. A tiny, red, wrinkled newborn with a tuft of dark hair.“His only picture is him as a half-baked bean,” Lucas whispered with a sad chuckle. “Soft and red. Right from inside of her.”Alex watched his boss carefully, saying nothing. He had already started forming quiet plans — ways to let Lucas see his son without disrupting the fragile peace Arabella had built.For now, Lucas was content to love them from the s

Chapter: Chapter 141: Secret GuardianArabella Life with Amal was a series of small, quiet miracles. He was such a good baby, almost as if he knew his mommy had been through a war and he didn't want to add to her burden. He slept through most of the night, and as I administered his medication punctually, I could see him getting stronger, his tiny cheeks filling out.But reality was never far behind. Money was a constant, gnawing shadow.“Mommy still has to get a job, snuggles,” I whispered one morning, strapping him into his baby bag for the day's walk. “And we’ll get a bigger house soon. I promise."One morning, I woke up to the sound of construction outside. The stairs and the entire building were suddenly being renovated. Workers were everywhere, replacing old railings, fixing cracks in the walls, and painting fresh coats. I was surprised the building had been neglected for years. The landlord had barely done anything before.But they were serious. Everything inside the apartment was preserved with care. Nothing wa

Chapter: Chapter 140: Finally found"Where’s Amal?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding thin in the sterile quiet of the ward. He was already looking toward Bassinet Number 4, his eyes searching for the tiny, dark-haired "blob" that had become his only anchor to sanity.The bassinet was empty. The sheets were gone. He frowned. "Oh, he and his mother were discharged this morning," the nurse replied, looking up from her charts with a warm smile.Lucas’s lips parted, but no sound came out. His eyes widened, then narrowed, a sudden, hollow ache opening in his chest."Thanks to your donations, they could finally afford to go home," she explained calmly. "He’ll still need to come back for regular treatments, but he’s strong enough to be in his own bed now."Lucas forced a stiff, jagged smile. "That’s... that’s good news."He stood there for a long moment, staring at the empty space. What was he to do now? The baby had become an important part of his routine. A very important person to him. The head nurse watched him, her heart

Chapter: Chapter 138: Baby Amal “I once imagined it,” Lucas admitted quietly to the evening sky.The confession was thin, nearly swallowed by the wind.After the storms had passed and the world had settled, he had allowed himself to dream of a quiet life. Of having a family. Of having children with her. He admitted it now to the empty air, the weight of the secret finally leaving his heart.He had pictured a daughter who looked like her. Had her dark hair, bright eyes, and that same stubborn, defiant little smile.The thought brought a small, fragile curve to his lips before reality came crashing back in, cold and unforgiving. He looked away, blinking rapidly at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.“Guess I wasn’t worthy,” he chuckled bitterly.“What do you think about school?” Lucas asked suddenly.Alex paused, his sandwich halfway to his mouth. “For?”“Me,” Lucas replied.Alex nearly choked.

Rejecting Fate: Lycan Prince’s Mate
Dark RomanceFast-Paced PlotWerewolfArrogantHidden IdentityPossessiveFirst LoveRejectSecond Chance
Meeting one’s mate was supposed to be a wonderful thing
For Aurora however, it was hate at first sight.
Attending Twilight Academy had always been her dream. But that dream quickly turns into a nightmare when she discovers she’s mated to the Lycan Prince. Theron Grey.
Theron Grey would stop at nothing to make her life miserable. His life's mission, have her kicked out of Twilight Academy.
Lycan’s, dominant ones with royal bloodlines, don’t get mated to mutts.
Or do they?
Because Theron, it seemed, was the exception.
*****
******
“Mates?” I whispered.
It couldn’t be.
“You’re my mate?” I asked again, my voice barely above a whisper.
His expression darkened more.
“Don’t ever say those words again,” he growled.
Being his mate was disgraceful.
A fact he was desperate to keep hidden.
What exactly was the Moon Goddess high on when she made this ridiculous match?!
“Well then, reject me!” I snapped. I was tired of being treated like I was nothing.
“I can’t! That’s the thing!” he roared back.
For some odd reason, rejection wasn’t an option.
We were stuck with each other.
Now, I was trapped in a school with a mate who loathed my very existence and wanted me gone.
“This school cannot contain the both of us
Leave!” he ordered.
I met his gaze head-on. “Over my dead body.”
********
Aurora had been shielded her whole life like a secret. But Twilight Academy would force her to uncover the truth
She belonged here more than she ever imagined.
And beneath Theron’s cold, cruel exterior, maybe there was something else. A reason he needed her gone.
Maybe pushing her away wasn’t just about who she was.
Maybe it was about what he was afraid would be uncovered.

Chapter: Chapter 29: You're coming with me TheronIt was happening too suddenly. No one had anticipated a mission this early, and as reluctant as I was to allow the healers to join, it couldn’t be avoided.Dominic’s reasoning had been sound, and deep down, I knew he was right.As always, the Heirs myself, Orion, Lucas, and Matteo, would be dispatched to the Depths and the Shallows. The most dangerous missions usually fell to us.Those were our territories. Orion was back, and that meant he was coming with me.We had our differences, personal ones that ran deeper than anyone else could guess, but Orion was competent. Too competent, sometimes. Whatever his feelings toward me, he knew how to set them aside and get the job done.I drew a slow breath. “Nine teams,” I said finally.The Hunts consisted of thirty-eight active members. Two teams would form under the Heirs, joined by two additional members each. That left enough for seven more teams.Orion frowned. “Why not ten?”“Nine,” I replied firmly.He studied me, waiting for an

Chapter: 28: First Mission AuroraAside from the regular Hunts meetings and training sessions, Orion made time to give me extra tips. He didn’t go easy on me either. The first two days left my body aching in places I didn’t even know existed. Every muscle screamed, and even breathing hurt, but Orion kept encouraging me, insisting the pain meant I was getting stronger.So, I pushed through.Each morning, long before anyone else was awake, I was already up stretching in the faint blue light of dawn. I started at the lodge’s small but surprisingly equipped gym, using whatever equipment was available, then jogged through the quiet paths. The air was always cold at that hour, sharp enough to sting my lungs, but it cleared my head.Gradually, the routines at the Hunts’ sessions started to feel… manageable. I wasn’t suddenly as strong or as swift as the others, but at least I wasn’t the weak link gasping at the back anymore.Orion somehow found ways to fit me into his already packed schedule.

Chapter: Chapter 27: BruisesAuroraI was restless the whole night.Mulling over my conversation with Theron. Why was he so hell bent on picking on me? Of all the people in this school, thousands of students, he just had to focus on me?My conclusion: he was just an oaf. An overbearing, arrogant one. So I shook it off and finally slept.Morning couldn't come soon enough, and it finally did.Classes went by in a breeze, and soon it was three p.m. The air was thick with anticipation as I made my way toward the Hunts ground, my heart drumming steadily in my chest."Welcome," Commander Vale began, his deep, commanding voice cutting through the tension like a blade. "You'll first be assessed to determine whether you can be indoctrinated. This is not a formality."Ten of us stood in a perfect line, identical in pale gray tunics embroidered with the crest of the Twilight Hunts. Ten healers. Ten hopefuls."You are ten," Vale continued, pacing before us. "But believe me when I say, we don't need many. And there's a good ch

Chapter: Chapter 26: Prince SyndromeTheron's POVThis woman was infuriating.Every damn inch of her.I was equally pissed at her, at myself, at the entire twisted situation. She had lied just to get through to me. Lied right to my face. And the worst part? I'd fallen for it.How did I not see through her sudden humility? She was stubborn and snappy. She could never change.That sudden switch she had today, how did I not see through it? It was fake. Her downcast eyes and soft spoken tone? It was all an act.How in the hell did I, of all people, not see it?Who did I think I was? Here I was trying to protect her.I clenched my jaw, forcing back a growl that threatened to escape.Why wouldn't she just listen!"Who the hell do you think you are?!" she had said. "What I decide to do is not your concern."It is, I wanted to yell. It was. One hundred percent my concern.She was going to be right under my nose, within the Hunts, surrounded by people who could tear her apart in a blink if they sensed what she really was. The cl

"I have to ask, what do you think about the Hunts? Is this a place you see yourself fitting in? Do you want in?"The big question.The one Theron had drilled into my head not to answer like this.I drew in a deep breath, feeling his gaze dig into my back like a hot brand. My fingers trembled slightly, but I curled them into fists by my sides, forcing the nerves down."Yes, sir," I began, my voice coming out steadier than I felt. "I'm very excited. It's a team I've admired for a long time, and I honestly cannot wait to join and contribute to the work."Theron's gaze seemed to burn even hotter into my back. A bit more force than that and he'd probably be shooting lasers at me.My heart raced, but I pushed on.

She’s totally at our mercy isn’t she? She needs our help to clean herself up, walk, talk, or even eat. There’s no way she will be able to escape here. Right? I chuckled at the thought. Right. That’s exactly what I wanted them to think, and I made sure I displayed every necessary theatric to make sure I didn’t show any sign of strength or ability. That was the only way I could make sure they wouldn’t be wary of me. So, I remained curled up in my bed like a sick little thing, too weak to move, too many broken bones to put up a fight. Every time they came to check up on me, I made sure to leave the impression that I had accepted that whatever fate awaited me was the best choice for me.As if.

Not familiar, but that wasn’t the reason my heart skipped ten beats at once, nor was it the reason my throat suddenly went dry when the rays of sunlight from the window kissed my face. Only one question continued to echo in my mind. Was this the afterlife? The room was so pretty, I was convinced it would was. It had to be. I had never heard of anyone surviving such poison, especially not a wolfless one like me.The last thing I remembered was hitting the water and, feeling myself slowly let go of my consciousness. I couldn’t keep much of what happened after in my mind, but I knew when my body kissed the sea. I knew I didn’t fight when water engulfed my body.

Looking away from Anthony, I turned to the crowd and quietly studied the faces that looked down on me with a sneer.These people whose lives I had saved at different times…Them, or one of their loved ones, kids, or mates, held no pity for me in their cruel gazes. Only discontent, only disdain. Crazy bitch! Someone yelled out. Ungrateful lots. All of them! They felt what was happening was well deserved, that I couldn't be their Luna despite everything. Anthony would never accept me. The worst that would happen was me being forced to remain here as the pack’s healer while someone else ruled by his side as his mate and Luna.

I was so excited that day; tonight would be the night I would officially be announced as Anthony's mate and Luna. I could barely keep my excitement within me waltzing and humming to myself that evening. As I walked past the hall, a group of high-ranking she wolves brushed shoulders with me."Out of the way, nitwit." The blonde one hollered at me shoving me. I muttered an apology as I pushed past them. No one could ruin my mood. I was the happiest I had ever been in my entire life. "I wonder what Anthony sees in her." Another one snickered. "She thinks she'll become Luna and get to boss us around. She’s delusional," Their laughter echoed through the halls even as the distance between us grew. They didn't care that I could hear them. In fact, they wanted me to."Just wait till tonight,” I said to myself.“You'll see, I will become your Luna." I wanted to yell back at them to gloat, bu
