We had spent the evening talking and laughing, and now a comfortable silence had fallen between us.Lesley turned to me, his eyes burning with a soft intensity."Mira," he whispered, his voice low and husky.I felt a shiver run down my spine as he reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. His touch sent sparks flying through my body, and I knew in that moment that I wanted him.Lesley's eyes never left mine as he leaned in, his lips brushing against mine in a soft, gentle kiss. I felt myself melting into him, our lips moving together in perfect harmony.As the kiss deepened, Lesley's arms wrapped around me, pulling me close. I felt his heart beating against mine, and I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be.The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the magic of our kiss. It was as if time had stood still, and all that existed was th

Chapter: Chapter 134:CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOURJEREMY"Please, pass me the bowl of salad," I said to Martin.He shifted the bowl of salad to my side. Martin and I were enjoying dinner, when Celia suddenly walked into the dining, making my eyes go wide open.I had been giving Celia space for days, respecting her boundaries and allowing her time to heal. I hadn't had any physical interactions with her since our last encounter in her room, and I had only caught glimpses of her from afar.So, I was taken aback when Celia walked into the dining room, her eyes locked on mine with a hint of determination.Martin, who was already enjoying his meal halfway, looked up at her with a warm smile."Celia, it's great to see you," Martin said, his voice filled with genuine affection. "We've missed you at the dining."I nodded in agreement, trying to gauge Celia's mood. She looked...different. Her eyes seemed brighter, her shoulders squarer. She radiated a sense of confidence and self-assurance that I hadn't see

Chapter: Chapter 133:CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREECELIAI felt empty and hollow, the weight of Jeremy's betrayal still settling in. My mind was a jumble of emotions - hurt, anger, sadness, and disappointment all swirled together in a toxic mix.I tried to shake off the feelings, telling myself I needed to focus on my daily routine. I got out of bed, went through the motions of getting dressed, and headed downstairs to start my day.But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake off the pain. Every time I thought about Jeremy's words and his actions, I felt a fresh wave of hurt wash over me.How could he do this to me? I wondered, feeling a surge of anger. Didn't he care about my feelings at all?I tried to distract myself by throwing myself into my work, but even that didn't seem to help. My mind kept wandering back to Jeremy to the memories we had shared to the pain he had caused me.As the day wore on, I felt like I was drowning in my emotions. I didn't know how to process everything, how to d

Chapter: Chapter 132CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWOMIRAAs the days passed, I found myself growing more and more comfortable around Lesley. We spent our days exploring the forest, gathering herbs, and preparing them for Mia.Our evenings were filled with shared meals, stories, and laughter.I couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to Lesley, to share my thoughts and feelings with him. He listened with a kind and attentive ear, offering words of encouragement and support. And when I looked into his eyes, I saw a deep sincerity and kindness that made me feel seen and heard.We started to develop a sense of camaraderie, a feeling of being in this together. Lesley would tease me good-naturedly, and I would playfully roll my eyes. Elara would giggle at our antics and would also mile knowingly.One evening, as we sat around the campfire, Lesley started telling a story about his childhood. He spoke of his parents, his siblings, and his adventures growing up. I listened, entranced, feeling like I was gettin

Chapter: Chapter 131:CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONELESLEYI woke up before dawn, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. I lay in bed for a moment, listening to the sound of Mira's gentle breathing beside me. Elara had given us a small room in her cosy cabin, and we had spent the evening talking and laughing together before we finally fell asleep.I decided to lie in bed for extra minutes before finally getting up to my feet, to have my bath and get dressed for the day.As I got dressed, I noticed that Elara and Mira were already up, preparing to head out into the forest to gather herbs for Mia's treatment. I watched as they slipped out of the cabin, their flashlights casting a warm glow in the pre-dawn darkness.With the women gone, I decided to take a walk in the forest, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The air was crisp and cool, filled with the scent of pine and wildflowers. I breathed deeply, feeling my lungs expand and my senses come alive.As I walked, the trees seemed

Chapter: Chapter 30:CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTYJEREMYWhen I left my room, I headed straight to Celia's room. I ignored the fact that it was already breakfast time. I knew I was going to find Celia there.I stood outside Celia's door, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been thinking about our argument nonstop, and I knew I had to make things right. I took a deep breath, steeled myself, and knocked on the door.Celia's voice was cold and distant as she bid me enter. I opened the door and stepped inside, my eyes locking onto hers. She was sitting on her bed, her back straight and her expression unforgiving."Celia, I—""I don't want to hear it, Jeremy," she cut me off, her voice firm but trembling with emotion. "I don't want to see you again. I'm done with you."My heart sank, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I had been expecting anger, maybe even tears, but not this. It's not a complete and utter rejection."Celia, please listen to me," I begged, taking a step forward. "I know I mess

Chapter: Chapter 10: Are you ready to face him again?Chapter 10: Are you ready to face him again?SierraI woke up to the morning sunlight filtering softly through the tall windows of my bedroom, Sierra’s bedroom that was now mine, well, apparently because I was in her body. The light from the window stretched across the floor until it reached the edge of my bed. The warmth brushed against my face causing me to squint as I forced my eyes fully open.I had barely slept. The heaviness behind my eyes made that painfully obvious. Every time I tried to drift off during the night, my mind dragged me back to the same thought.The thought of Dante, the thought of what I was about to do today.I slowly pushed the covers aside and sat up. The silk sheets rustled softly as my feet touched the floor. For a moment I simply sat there, at the edge of my bed, collecting myself, forcing my breathing into something steady.My hair had completely escaped the bonnet I wore to bed. The dark strands had spilled messily across my shoulders and down my back.

Chapter: Chapter 9: "Don't let your mask slip."Chapter 9: "Don't let your mask slip."The night air felt cool against my skin as I stood on the balcony, staring out into the darkness the way someone might stare into a mirror, quiet, uncertain, and full of questions I didn’t want answers to.The wind brushed past me in soft, restless waves, teasing the loose strands of my hair and carrying the scent of the garden below. It danced around me gently, as if trying to calm the storm brewing in my chest. I lifted the glass of wine to my lips, Dante’s favourite wine, the same I had ordered at the party, and let the taste linger there longer than necessary.I shouldn’t have been thinking about him.But I was. Or maybe I should, and it should be how to destroy him.I hadn’t expected the effect he would have on me at the party. One look from him and the carefully built walls I had spent the past six months constructing had trembled—just a little, but enough for me to notice. His eyes had locked with mine, and for a heartbeat, I had forgotte

Chapter: Chapter 8: Haunting thoughts.Chapter 8: Haunting thoughts.Dante's POV I stood by the window again.It had become a habit I never consciously formed, yet one I never broke. The city stretched beneath me, endless streets, fading headlights, the slow pulse of the night. But none of it settled the restlessness twisting inside my chest. I lifted the glass of wine to my lips, the same vintage Sierra had been drinking at the party. My favourite. For a split second, just for a fleeting one, I had thought she reminded me of Elena. Hell, she could have been Elena. I let out a bitter laughter.My fingers tightened around the stem of the glass.It had been two years.Two whole years, and the nights had not grown any easier.I turned away from the window and walked toward my desk. The drawer resisted at first—as if even it wanted to keep the past buried, but it slid open with a low scrape. I reached inside and pulled out the small photograph I could never bring myself to destroy.Elena and I, standing on the balcony of the

Chapter: Chapter 7: The little heiressChapter 7: The little heiress Viviana's POV The drive home was painfully quiet. Raw anger from the event still lingered somewhere within.Dante was sitted beside me in the car, staring out the window the whole time, his eyes stayed locked on nothing, his mind clearly far away. I kept my gaze on the dark road, but every few seconds, my eyes slid toward him. He didn’t blink much. He just kept his head straight ahead. This wasn't a good sign. He was thinking about her.I didn’t need anyone to tell me that.My jaw tightened. The last time I had seen Dante have this reaction over a woman was two years ago. Elena, she has been taken out of the way.The scene from the ballroom kept playing in my mind like a broken film reel. The moment Sierra De Luca walked into that ballroom, Dante’s attention snapped to her like a magnet. I saw it right away, I noticed The way his eyes widened a little. The way he froze. I didn't know what it was, big something definitely flickered.Then he sneakily lef

Chapter: Chapter 6: "Have we met before?"Chapter 6: I watched as Viviana’s hand slowly wrapped around Dante’s arm securely, almost like she was staking a claim, like she was marking her territory, sending a direct warning to me to stay away from her property, something she stole from me. I gritted my teeth, but maintained a smile. She leaned close to him with a warm, practiced smile. I understood it clearly, I understood everything, and if gnawed at my insides. “I don’t think we’ve met, have we?” she asked, her voice smooth. I straightened in my seat and cleared my throat, trying to keep my expression calm even though anger was crawling under my skin. My fists tightened under the counter where she couldn’t see them. “We haven’t, Viviana,” I replied. “At least not officially.” She gave another smile, a wide but empty smile. “I’m Viviana,” she said, extending her hand. “Dante’s partner.” She had a malicious grin on her face, the same one she had when she pushed me from the balcony two years ago.

Chapter: Chapter 5: Facing him..... Again!Chapter 5: Facing him..... Again!Viktor De Luca's soft touch at the tip of my fingers pulled me back to reality. I blinked and straightened, reminding myself—again that I was Sierra De Luca now. I wasn’t Elena tonight. I could never be her again, not after everything. I forced the ghost of her away and lifted my chin, straightening up my back and maintaining the composure I imagined sierra De Luca must have had when she was alive.I looked away from Dante and walked toward the red carpet beside my father. After a few steps, after all the formalities for the camera and the blinding flashes, he left my side, already shaking hands with men in tailored suits and practiced smiles. In my head, his voice echoed—the same words he had drilled into me for the last six months.“You are my heir now. You need to look like it. Own every room you walk into. There must not be a single sign of weakness in you when you face them.""Them" included Dante, it included Viviana, whom I now sought for with

Soon, the murderous glare in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by a fake smile."I see Alpha Lesley brought you, I have no choice than to be nice to you."I gasped and let out a deep breath when she pulled away."I actually came here to take a look at your wounds, I was told you were injured.Was she the one Alpha Lesley had sent to look at my wound?

I had always loved the rising sunlight, it had a way of bringing back memories, sweet memories.I smiled up at the sky as they soft wind blew my hair.I thought about alpha Lesley. I had heard rumours last night that he returned with a she wolf from where he went to hunt for rogues. At first I had felt apprehensive about it, and then I had dismissed it not until this morning when I heard he had even gone out again with this she wolf and they were yet to return.This made me feel like there was more to all of these.And it brought a pang of pain that gnawed desperately at my heart.And just like it had been perfectly timed.

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT CHAPTER EIGHT I felt a surge of anger coarse through me as he immediately lifted me into his shoulder without even letting me make a decision on my own, is that how domineering he can be? I scoffed. Of course he is Alpha Lesley, I should even be surprised that he was being nice in the first place. Despite my anger, I still felt a rush of relief knowing I was in safe hands. I knew he was right, I couldn't keep going on my own, my limbs acted like they were would give way at anytime, and him offering his help even though it was unsolicited saved me from crashing down. Aside the feeling of resentment that I had because he would not just let me make my own decisions, I mean staying alone in the forest for that long had taught me how to be independent and not wait on anybody to be my saviour. But I still had a strange feeling of gratitude and I had to admit that I was glad he was there. First he saved me from the forest, then he saved me from the trap and just when my legs were about to

I was supposed to be one of the most powerful and most feared alpha around. But then I tried to console myself with the fact that it came unexpectedly.Just as I was about going my way, I thought a little about the strange she wolf, I thought it would be unfair leaving her there alone, and most importantly, I was curious.

"I expected you to also run away like your colleague" he said again as his whole body emerged fully from the darkness. I stared at him wide eyed as I suddenly realized who he was. My heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably at the sight of him. I could not explain the emotion I felt as I stared at him, and he stared back at me with his deep blue eyes. "Are you happy to see me?" He asked with an amused look on his face. I immediately felt ashamed of myself, he might have seen through me and saw all of the shameful desires I harboured about him in my heart, I felt like he could see through me with those magnificent eyes of his, and he might have seen all of the things I had imagined he would do to me with those lips of his, and those beautiful hands.
