Chapter: 90. Poison, poison!LEONARDO's POV"I left to go fetch some firewood. When I came back, I found them like this," Mateo explains, gesturing around the tents.The unmoving bodies of my pack members lay scattered everywhere. Like the horrid aftermath of a vicious battle."How on earth did... " I almost growl at Mateo, then stop myself.I shouldn't take my anger out on him. This isn't his fault. The responsibility of protecting our pack members falls on me, and me alone. I should have been here with my pack. Packs stick together. The Alpha doesn't go off to the city of stars.But Mateo already feels enough guilt to last a lifetime."I fucked up, Leo." His voice cracks with unmistakable regret. "You left me in charge. And this happened.""No, this is all on me."Lara's entrance is a picture of fear and shock, her face softening slightly as she sees me. "Don't beat yourself up, Knight. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine — for having such heartless parents.""Since when can kids control who brings them into the

Chapter: 89. Leo mío"Diego and Rosa?" he asks."Yeah... Once on family FaceTime, I told them that my boss is weird, never has a single customer, but doesn't seem to care. They must have suspected Silas since then.""Maybe, but they can't poison a bar while they're a thousand miles away in Urueña, can they?"Oh, he doesn't know."My parents have gotten to America. It was my father who broke the window of your fortress, and brought me out."Almost like he's in a trance, David whispers, "But werewolf hunters not supposed to be in this country. It is not—"The shrill of my phone ringing cuts him off. I instantly glance down. Caller ID shows Leo Mío (which means Leo Mine in English.) Cheesing from cheek to cheek, I pick the call and put the phone to my ear. Leonardo's voice breaks in, vibrating with worry. "Lara? Are you alright?""Uh... yeah, I'm okay."As okay as any girl who keeps tripping into werewolf drama.Leo heaves an audible sigh. "You rarely come home late, and it's already 9PM. I've been waiting

Chapter: 88. The Wrong WolfIf it isn’t mine… then it belongs to someone else. Someone who knows about werewolves, and feels the need to protect themselves.A chill slides down my spine.But in my head, the question gnaws and claws: Who?Agonizing, loud howls shatter the silence. My head whips to the direction of the howls, but it's coming from nowhere and everywhere, from the walls and from the ceiling. It echoes again, louder like a battle cry. Silas' face is stuck between worry and fear. "What is that? Are there werewolves living somewhere this bar?" I ask, concern etched on my forehead.That would be the only explanation for why Silas never wants any real customers. This isn't an actual bar, but a hideout for werewolves."Leave now, Lara," he says, his hand almost pushing my back."You're the one who brought me here when you sent that note." I keep my feet solid on the marble floor."I made a mistake. I thought it was you who hurt the—"Ouuuuwwww. The sound reminds me of an injured, bleeding werewolf."Is

Chapter: 87. Two bracelets I square my shoulders in defiance. "I don't have to explain myself to you. I'm leaving, Anita. Don't follow me, or I'll use my pepper spray on you," I say.With that, I turn on my heels, and keep walking until I reach my car. Anita's words keep echoing in my ear like a recurring nightmare. "... obsessed with you... destined together..."Lingering feelings? How could there not be?? It's David, for goodness' sake!With him, life is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, and not in a good, fun way. But in a is-he-my-rescuer-or-my-jailer way. I'm everything but at peace..What version do I get today? Do I get the man who threatened me into becoming his Luna? Or no. Maybe I get man who showered me with his sweet, genuine words on our wedding day?Do I get the man who tries to teeth-mark me while I sleep without my permission? Or do I get the man who risks his life to heal my dying parents in Urueña? It's a toxic cycle, one that I'm sick of.I jerk the door open and dive into my car. The

Chapter: 86. Deadly weapon "Armed robbery is a crime. A felony," Professor Cooper says, chalk squealing against the board.Good to know. I wonder if emotional robbery counts, because my last professor stole my sanity before resigning.Now, the new one is standing right where scandal used to breathe. Which makes me wonder: what kind of man takes the job left behind by Professor Norman?The excitement of Las Vegas burned bright and fast, and now it’s over. Leonardo’s back to scripts, cameras, and flashing lights. I’m back to textbooks, lectures, and Lord Denning. Unfortunately, going through a scary experience which has likely traumatized me for life — does not excuse me from missing classes. And after clawing my way out of almost being expelled, flunking out isn’t an option.So here I am. Back in class. Back like I never even disappeared at all... I mindlessly doodles a weirdly shaped body part on my notebook, as a peaceful tune plays in my head. La la la.."Lara Bello."Huh?"Bello!"Shit, that's my name. My

Chapter: 85. Vivas Las Vegas Paparazzi snap a storm of photos, cameras pop, phones wave in the air, security pushes back, the crowd is asking a million questions; and above it all, I can hear my pulse racing. "Congratulations, Mrs. Knight! Let's see the ring!" most scream.But there's always that one hater who yells, "they'll get divorced in six months. Who wanna bet?"Of course there's always that unhappy hater. Jokes on him though.With the car door open, Leonardo plants a fast kiss on me—like he can’t help himself—before ushering me inside.I sink into the plush leather seat, cheeks warm, lips still tingling. "You couldn’t wait two seconds till the door shut?" I tease.Leo slides in beside me, tugging the door closed with one hand while the other sneaks onto my knee. "Two seconds is a lifetime when you’re sitting right there."I laugh softly, shaking my head. "You're impossible."Leo squeezes my knee, and lowers his voice to a rough whisper. "Impossible not to love."My gaze lingers on him, my fake husband, l

Chapter: 46. My husband!Chapter forty sixThere was one feeling I loved more than anything in the world. It was a feeling I cherished above all others, that I would do anything to hold onto. No, it wasn't the joy of winning the lottery (though that would be nice). It wasn't the thrill of skydiving or bungee jumping (let's be honest, that's more like heart-stopping terror than love). It wasn't even the satisfaction of finding the last slice of pizza in the fridge at midnight (although that's pretty high up on the list).It was the feeling of being truly understood. The feeling of being seen, not just for the mask I wore or the role I played, but for the person I was at my core. To have someone look into my eyes and see the essence of who I am, to hear my words and understand the thoughts and emotions behind them, that was a feeling unlike any other.I only felt that way in the arms of Scott Sanders, my husband. I felt truly alive, truly connected, as if I had found my place in the universe. After a long day a

Chapter: 45. Threats and PowerChapter forty five: Threats and PowerAs the morning light streamed through the curtains, I slowly opened my eyes to the sight of two warm, captivating brown eyes fixed on me with unabashed adoration. It was Scott, my beloved, greeting me with a tender smile."Good morning, beautiful," he greeted with affection.I chuckled lightly. "Have you been staring at me again, mister?" I teased, the corners of my lips lifting into a playful smile."How did God create a woman so perfect in every way?" he mused, his fingers tracing a delicate path along my right cheek."I guess we'll never know," I replied, meeting his gaze with a playful wink, knowing that in his eyes, I was indeed perfect.As Scott leaned in, his lips poised to meet mine in a tender morning kiss, I playfully swerved away. With a giggle, I swiftly pulled the sheets up, covering myself completely. "Oh, no you don't," I exclaimed, my laughter bubbling up as I hid beneath the cozy fortress."Come on, don't hide from me," he tease

Chapter: 44. The first time⚠️ Warning: This is for readers 18+Back in my house, as I slipped out of my clothes and into the soft silk of my nightdress, my mind kept circling back to that tense encounter with Scott earlier in his office. It was the first time I had seen that side of him—assertive, calculating, and unyielding. And strangely, it ignited a fire within me that I hadn't expected. As much as I wanted to resist and stick to the marriage contract, I found myself drawn to the raw power he exuded, the way his eyes gleamed with intensity. I realized there was a side to Scott I had never explored, a side that awakened desires I never knew existed. And as I stood there in the dim glow of my bedroom, bathed in the soft light of the moon, I couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted more. I wanted his touch to linger on my skin and ignite a hunger that burned deep within me. I craved the feel of his hands, the heat of his body pressed against mine. It was intoxicating, irresistible.But as much as I yearned fo

Chapter: 43. The tattoo studioChapter forty three: The tattoo studio.Scott took a u-turn at a very familiar street. At the end of road, I saw a neon sign looming ahead. It was the tattoo studio where I had asked Scott to marry me."Why are we here?" I asked."Just follow my lead," he replied cryptically.We parked in front of the studio, the neon sign casting an ethereal glow over the pavement. Stepping out of the car, I followed Scott as he strode purposefully towards the entrance. "Hey, boss," they greeted him.Butch, the tattoo artist, a burly man with a bushy beard, looked up from his workbench and greeted us with a nod."Back so soon with the wifey?" he asked, his tone gruff yet friendly.Scott flashed him a wry grin. "I'm not here for tattoos this time," he said, motioning towards me.He took me to his inner office. The walls were adorned with an eclectic collection of artwork, dominated by nude, obscene paintings of women in provocative poses. The scent of rich tobacco cigarettes hung heavy in the air, min

Chapter: 42. Hear my truth.Chapter forty two: Hear my truth.I could not risk helping a wanted criminal with a heist. The only thing I had been stealing those days were hearts – metaphorically, of course. Need I mention that I'm too pretty to go to jail – and far too fabulous for a life of crime. I knew for sure that I was not cut out for life behind bars? I mean, orange may be the new black, but it's definitely not my color, darling. Plus, have you seen the food they serve in prison?On a more serious note, there I was, a successful CEO with everything to lose, being blackmailed by my own sister, a fugitive wanted by the FBI. It was like something out of a twisted crime thriller, only this was my reality. I had worked too hard to build my reputation and my empire from the ground up to throw it all away for a daring heist. I had clawed my way to the top, overcoming countless obstacles and naysayers along the way, and I wasn't about to let my sister's reckless antics derail my hard-earned success.No, I had to t
