ContemporaryWinning Back the WifeFirst-Person POVCEOHidden IdentityHeir/HeirnessContract MarriagePregnantSecond Chance
Imagine being born into a wealthy family that thinks you don't deserve a place at the table because you're different.
Imagine being told you'll never be loved for who you are. Imagine believing this is true until you meet that one person who doesn't care what the world thinks of you.
At 26, Dana Travis had resigned to a life of art and listening to her voice on her small recorder. But when she meets the unusually handsome Alex Logan, a billionaire CEO, who asks her to sign a contract marriage for two years with him, Dana says, “why not?”
Imagine your hands stuck in the cookie jar, imagine owning the cookie jar.
Like all agreements with an expiry date, Dana and Alex's contract of a delicious marriage ends . . . but not Dana’s feelings.
But Alex is a billionaire, while she's . . . nothing, just a pretty girl with a big imagination. Or is she just that? Could Dana somehow get Alex to believe her feelings are true, or is she in this alone?
“It was just a contract,” Dana tells herself. “Nothing more.”
But it is clear there is more. Dana caught feelings, hard. What woman wouldn't after being deliriously loved by Alex Logan.
It was supposed to be a contract, no strings attached. But now there's a whole pregnancy attached, and a heart that beats only for Alex.
But Alex seems to have moved on with a new catch, the undefeated beauty, Jodie . . .

Chapter: Chapter 163Dana POV: Like Mother, Like Daughter "Mom, you can talk to me," I say when it looks like my mother is about to shut down her opinion. "Tell me what you're thinking."Mom doesn't look at me, her eyes fixed on the distant skyline. "We already talked, Dana.""And you still prefer Charles, don't you?" I press.Mom finally turns her head, her gaze piercing. She says, "Prefer? It’s not about what I prefer, Dana. It’s about what makes sense. What on earth are you doing?""Mom, I'm carrying his child," I say, my hand instinctively dropping to my stomach. "I can't just carelessly push him away.""He pushed you away," she counters instantly, her voice sharpening. "He divorced you."I take a deep breath. "Well, Mom . . . that's actually something I've been hiding from you."My mother gapes at me, her eyes turning instantly wary, her posture stiffening. "You should tell your mother whatever it is you're hiding. It’s confession week in this house, Dana. Go on."I swallow, looking down at my hand

Chapter: Chapter 162Dana POV: Mom Talks To Jack About Lori"You sound completely dismal," I say, the silence between us, becoming uncomfortable. "Who exactly is this guy?"Alex shifts his weight, his fingers tapping a tense, rapid rhythm on the table. He says, "Apparently, he is the man I absolutely must see in the next three hours, or I'll have to face some very severe consequences. But don't worry about that right now. I do have a question, Dana.""Shoot."He looks directly into my eyes. "Is it true what Stanton told me? That you love me?"I feel a sudden, intense wave of heat rush up my face. I did not expect that one. And why on earth would he ask me something so deeply personal in such a blunt, forward manner? It feels entirely ungentlemanly, like a trap. I let out a sharp sigh, snapping my head away to look out the restaurant window."What does it even matter, Alex? Honestly," I mutter. "Besides, we shouldn't even be having this kind of discussion seeing as you have Jodie in your life. And she is

Chapter: Chapter 161Dana POV: Not Out Of The Woods YetI am standing in the sun-drenched lobby of the restaurant, nervously shifting my weight from one foot to the other as my eyes sweep the room for Alex.Even now, a part of me can barely comprehend the reality of the situation. I am meeting Alex for lunch. If someone had told me a month ago that we would be sitting down over a meal together, I would have laughed. What were the odds in a million years?The glass entrance doors swing open, and my breath stops. Alex walks in. He looks magnificent, wearing a blue leather jacket paired with dark denim and rugged leather boots. He has that familiar, slightly bowed stance that gives his stride such an effortlessly attractive silhouette.The moment our eyes meet, a brilliant smile breaks out on his face. He approaches quickly but hesitates a foot away, both of us suddenly frozen in that awkward, post-divorce limbo, not knowing whether to reach for a kiss, a warm hug, or a formal handshake.

Chapter: Chapter 160Dana POV: Her Mother Is Something ElseThe early morning sun cuts through the New York mist, casting long, pale shadows across the driveway. Outside, a taxi is already idling by the curb, its exhaust pluming into the cool air. Charles and Derek are standing by the open passenger door, their bags already thrown into the trunk.Derek looks back at me, his coat collar turned up against the morning chill. "Are you coming yet, Dana?" he asks. I shake my head, rubbing my bare arms. "There's stuff I need to sort out here first."Charles gives me a strange, intense stare. His eyes search mine for a long, quiet second. Before I can look away, he steps forward, kisses my cheek lightly, and joins Derek outside. They get into the back of the cab, the doors slam shut with a thud, and pull away."Alex is coming, isn't he?"I turn around. Jack is leaning against the door, a knowing, relaxed look on his face."Yes," I admit.He smiles. "I suspected as much. Me? Looks like I'm stuck here with Cindy

Chapter: Chapter 159Dana POV: To Listen To Her Heart Or Her Mother?It is nine o'clock in the evening. I am alone, the dark room illuminated only by the harsh, white glare of my laptop screen. My eyes are burning, fixed on an email I received just ten minutes ago from a law firm in California called King and Fisher Chambers.My hands are numb as I read the text for the fourth time. I’ve been sued.The formal legal jargon lays it out in cold, clinical terms: defamation by association and intentional infliction of emotional distress against one Jodie McGuire. The email alleges that I have systematically stalked Alex, orchestrated a public campaign of harassment using my brothers to heckle him, and caused Jodie severe psychological trauma.Downstairs, the muffled murmur of my brothers' voices filters up through the walls, punctuated by an occasional cheer or groan. It’s league night, and they’re all crowded around the TV watching baseball. Charles is down there with them, too. After our drive back from the

Chapter: Chapter 158Dana POV: Lori Is Cheating With Hymar The regret is sickening. The very second the words leave my mouth, I wish with everything in me that I hadn’t driven down here. This is the kind of toxic, destructive knowledge I never wanted to possess.The silence in the hallway is so thick and awkward. For ten agonizing seconds, Lori and I do nothing but stare at each other. Her chest is heaving, her hands still clutching the wrinkled hem of her dress.Hymar is the first to break. He shifts his weight, stepping slightly in front of Lori, his voice tight but remarkably calm. He whispers to Lori, "I’ll handle this."He walks toward me. I am shaking all over, my eyes huge and burning with shock. Hymar reaches out and opens a glass door to the left, revealing an empty, starkly modern office room."Dana," he says quietly, his eyes pleading. "Can we talk?"My gaze is still riveted on Lori, who hasn't moved an inch from the spot where she's standing. Her shoulders begin to tremble, her face crumplin

Chapter: Chapter 228Lexi’s POVWhen the vision finally released me, the air of my room felt sharper.Sadie’s presence lingered in the corner, faintly shimmering, as if part of her energy refused to leave entirely.I drew a slow, deliberate breath, letting the warmth of reality settle into my skin, grounding me after the ethereal intensity of what I had just experienced.“I’m staying,” I said quietly, more to myself than to her, but Sadie caught the words anyway. Her lips curved slightly, approval in the smallest of gestures.“Yes,” she replied. “Your choice was always yours. The celestial order honors it. You will remain here, with your children, your mate, your pack. But I will return, occasionally, to ensure that one of your own is not threatened or in need. You are their strength, Lexi, and I will remain their eyes when you cannot be.”I nodded, absorbing the weight of her words. The idea of being watched, guided, protected, even from the unseen, didn’t feel intrusive.It felt like a promise, a wire c

Chapter: Chapter 227Sadie POV / Spirit PlaneThe moment darkness settled over the packhouse, I found myself drawn to Lexi.Her energy pulsed through the walls of her room even before I was inside, a rhythmic tension that told me she had not slept, that the weight of her discoveries had pressed too heavily on her.I appeared silently, a presence she had grown to expect but still startled her each time I manifested.“Lexi,” I said softly, letting the words hang in the space between us.She jumped, her hands gripping the edge of the bed, eyes wide and filled with alarm. “Relax,” I told her gently. “It’s me. I’m your proxy. I’m here as a friend, not as a judge.”Her gaze narrowed, suspicion warring with relief. “A friend?” she repeated, voice trembling. “After everything… after everything I’ve seen, everything I’ve felt… how can I trust that?”I floated closer, letting my form shimmer in the moonlight filtering through the window.“Because I have walked this path before, and now I walk it with you. You carry

Chapter: Chapter 226Lexi’s POVI opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the cold silver of the hilltop moonlight.The vision had ended, but Sadie hadn’t returned with me. Her words lingered in my mind like a chant:“Your people need you. You have to come back.”The hill was silent around me, the wind shifting through the trees as if holding its breath, and for a moment I wasn’t sure whether I was awake or still trapped between the threads of that shimmering memory.I sat there for a long while, the truth pressing against me from every angle, a weight I hadn’t anticipated.I had known my life carried its share of burdens, but nothing like this, nothing that tied me to a world I had never walked in, a family I never met, and a duty I had never chosen.I thought of Lunara, my mother, the woman who had given up everything to protect me, to give me a chance at a life she could not have.And I thought of Clara, that twisted shadow, consumed by jealousy, by obsession, by a hatred that had echoed across nearly

Chapter: Chapter 225Sadie’s POV (Vision Sequence)Lunara’s StoryLexi didn’t speak after I revealed the truth. She simply stared at me, breathing unevenly, unsure, resisting the pull of everything her life had been leading toward.I saw the questions forming, the panic rising behind her eyes, the disbelief sitting raw on her face.“I know it’s a lot,” I murmured. “And I know you don’t trust me yet. You don’t have to. Just… let me show you.”She hesitated, torn between stepping back and stepping toward something she didn’t understand. Finally, she nodded once, small, stiff, but definite.I lifted my hand slowly, letting silver light gather between my fingers. The air trembled, as if responding to a language only I could speak. “This won’t hurt,” I said softly. “But it will reveal everything.”The world around us blurred. The hill, the moon, the forest, they dissolved into silver threads drifting upward like smoke.Lexi tensed as the ground vanished beneath her feet, replaced by weightless space that shimm

Chapter: Chapter 224Lexi’s POVThe date on that damned paper came faster than I expected. Every day leading up to it, I told myself I wouldn’t go, that it was stupid, reckless and completely unnecessary… but every night, when the house went quiet and everybody fell asleep, I felt a pull to go.A promise of truth.I didn’t breathe a word to anyone.Peace had just returned after so long, and I refused to be the one to snap them out of it by worrying about me.Whatever this was, whatever this person wanted with me, it needed to stay contained.When I looked up at the clock, it was exactly 11:30pm, I slipped into black jeans, a fitted top, and a thick jacket that hid the pocket gun and knife tucked inside.The weight of both weapons grounded me, though it didn't calm me.As I crept through the quiet hallways of the packhouse, I paused for a heartbeat at the boys’ door.I didn’t open it, just pressed my palm softly against the wood.

Chapter: Chapter 223Tristan’s POVI had imagined this day a thousand different ways, but standing here now, with the sun spilling gold across the courtyard and the kingdom gathered in quiet anticipation, it felt entirely new. The council members were lined up in their ceremonial robes, deep green trimmed with silver, the colors chosen to represent renewal and clarity. My people whispered among themselves, a soft buzz of hope threading through the air, and for the first time in a very long time, I felt as though the ground beneath us was steady.“Your Majesty, everyone is ready,” one of the palace attendants murmured beside me.I nodded, my eyes scanning the crowd again. Almost everyone was present, elders, warriors, healers, the new council members… except one face. Lexi’s. She was nowhere in sight.Of course she’s late, I thought, not with irritation but with something almost like fond amusement. She had a talent for arriving exactly when she intended to, even if that wasn’t when everyone expected her

Chapter: CHAPTER 126A New Dawn"Flora, trust me, what has happened?" Adrian's voice sliced through the celebratory noise as he pushed his way to stand by her at the side of the great hall."Adrian, I can still barely believe it," Flora replied, her voice a blend of cautious joy and ongoing incredulity. "The King's Edict. It's altered everything for us and for the pack.""Yes," Adrian took a breath. "I surrendered my Alpha status for you, for our future, and now it seems the impossible has become our reality."Flora's voice shook with hope and fear. "A future where we can love without betraying our duty, where our hearts are not sundered by ancient canons. But at what price, Adrian? Can our love really overcome the weight of centuries of tradition?"Adrian's eyes glimmered. "I know that the sacrifices were immense, and the wounds sliced deep. I recall every instant of regret, every tear you cried as I lusted after power. But in this moment, with you by my side, I feel the promise of a new dawn."Flora stu

Chapter: CHAPTER 125The Edict of the Lycan King " Adrian, to the throne room incontinently," growled a commanding voice in the corridor speakers. Adrian's strained, low voice replied," Yes, Captain Morales. I will be there in a moment." Moments later, in a hushed expectation room, the Lycan King stated" Adrian, you've submitted your repudiation letter, right? Adrian cleared his throat, the tone establishment yet laced with fear," Yes, Your Majesty. I've surrendered my Alpha status, for I realize that my path now must be mandated by nothing but the issues of the heart, not the suffocating weight of obligation." The King's deep voice thundered," Your adoption has not been given without consideration. Tell me, Adrian, what led you to make this most vainglorious decision? Adrian took a conscious breath before responding," Sire, for times I've carried the burden of my once — my miscalculations, my failure and it has brought me further than any crown ever could.

Chapter: CHAPTER 124A New Daw Flora's answer was conservative," I'll consider your offer, Adrian. But this I do know if our life together is to be but a deeper pain, I'm not willing to immolate the loss of myself, my responsibility, for a love that may yet be too weak to survive." Unshed gashes filled Adrian's eyes as he rumored," Flora, I understand your fear. I know that our history is full of pain, but I believe if we do this together, we can forge a new path. One where every immolation is not a loss, but an pledge — a pledge to make a future that honors who we are." Flora's voice shook," And what if our pledges break under the weight of our old injuries? What if our marriage, refashioned by love and duty, is n't enough to heal the ancient injuries of treason? Adrian's voice held a blend of despair and stopgap," also we will face that ineluctability together. I'm willing to risk all on the possibility of redemption, on a tomorrow when we might be free at last from the ghosts of our h

Chapter: CHAPTER 123A Bold Offer " Flora, we need to talk," Adrian said, his voice rough and pulsing with genuine determination. " Adrian, I am harkening," Flora replied, her voice cautious but with a touch of craving. " Every night I lie awake allowing about what we lost, and I can no longer tolerate this silence," Adrian continued. " Silence, yes, but remorse as well," Flora answered, her voice slightly above a tale." I still flash back the dreams we pictured, the moments when we believed nothing could pull us apart." " I know," Adrian said vocally." I flash back the nights beneath the stars when you laughed, when our dreams were unencumbered and simple. But also I let my duty, my ambition, get in the way." Flora's tone turned cold," You allowed ambition to take priority over our love, Adrian. I constructed my life upon the oath of a participated future — a future that now appears so far down.

Chapter: CHAPTER 122 A Union Readdressed " Adrian, please?" Flora's tremulous but strong voice pierced the muted hum of the command center as they entered a quiet alcove out of sight of the inquiring eyes of their classmates. Adrian drew in near, his tone soft and counted with anguish." Flora, I know our lives have gone so far in contrary directions, but I've to ask — do you ever still dream of us? Of a life where our love is n't measured only by duty?" Flora's eyes flashed both wistful and guarded pain." I did, formerly, Adrian. I allowed once that there was going to be a future in which I just was Flora not a title, not any prospects just us. But whenever I try to flash back it, I get hit with all the offerings that we made and the scars that still shape us." Adrian's tone dropped to a husky tale." I will relinquish everything, Flora. I relinquished my title, my power, because I wish for a chance at that future with you. I want a normal, loving family life with you. I understand it'll be

Flora's tone was peaceful but miserable." Adrian, I know what you are going to tell me. You have one chance to make this right.". Adrian's reply was nippy," I have made my decision. I can no longer be Alpha, not when my heart is broken because of my miscalculations." Flora's face tensed as she asked," You relinquish your Alpha status? Do you have any idea the cost that comes with it, Adrian?
