Chapter: 62. Monster or not?LARA's POV "Lara, you're not a sacrifice," David explains to me in a urgent whisper. "The people will perform a quick Luna ritual on you. Then, you'll be back in my bed, alive and healthy." Back in his bed?? Please. I'd rather walk on hot coal, barefoot. "How do you expect me to trust you when all you do is lie?!" I retort, anger crawling up my neck. "I'm in love with you, Lara! For 400 years, I have searched for my Luna. Immortal, invincible, but empty. Dated several women, but none of them were the one. Every full moon I prayed the mate-bond would call someone to me. You were the answer. And now that I have you… I won't hurt you." "I don't believe that. He said you were going to kill me!" "He?" I watch his pupils shrink, his irises go blood-dark. The change is instant. "Who's he?" David growls. But he knows. He knows who I mean. I expect him to throw a fit, and begin a bloody hunt for Leo, right then and there. But surprisingly, the look on his face is not one of a monst

Chapter: 61. Ready, set, burnLeonardo's POVA castle under the damn forest. I'll admit, it's genius. Hidden in plain sight, buried where no drone or satellite would bother to peek. If it weren't built by the maniac called Daevid, I’d even call it beautiful.But tonight, this genius fortress will burn.The second I jump out of Lara’s window, I drop into the shrubs below and run through the grasses. The adrenaline in my veins makes me forget that I haven't eaten or slept in two days. I can't afford to rest. Not when the girl I love is about to be sacrificed like a lamb on a golden altar.Finally, I reach the hillcrest overlooking the hidden ravine. Roman is already there, pacing beside the others in the shadow of the trees. His pack are scattered in clusters, sharpening their blades and adjusting disguises. The forest groans with terror.Roman glares the second he sees me. "Where the fuck have you been?!"Liam—ever the loudmouth—leans on a tree and smirks. "I’ll tell you where he’s been. Off to visit his Luna-sacr

Chapter: 60. Bedroom whispersLARA's POVMy fingers fidget nervously with the hem of my dress. "I had no choice. My life was in shambles.""And my dad's measly five million dollar was enough to make you throw me aside. Words cannot describe how disappointed I am in you, Lara," he says.I know heartbreak. I have seen it in a hundred faces, lived it through them. Heartbreak is when when someone you love walks away and forgets to look back. It remains in your chest like smoke that won’t clear. But the look in Leo’s eyes… it’s more than heartbreak. He is shattered.I blink back a tear, followed by a little sniffle."Leo, I'm sorry. I did throw you side.. but not for the money.""Then why?""My future, Leo." I rub my nose, restraining my sniffles. "I was worried about my future. Alaric promised that if I left you, he'd make sure my expulsion goes away. And I believe him."Leo frowns. "Didn't you also take a cheque of 5 million dollars from Alaric?"I shake my head, firm and fast. "No. He offered, yes, but I rejected i

Chapter: 59. Let them have meLARA's POV I walk out of the bathroom, my white towel wrapped snug and tight around my chest.Across the room, David emerges from his bathroom, his towel low on his hips like modesty’s just a suggestion.At least the cabin has two bathrooms. Small mercy. I don’t have to endure the soul-scarring torture of seeing him naked.Three months ago, that sight might’ve made me blush like a schoolgirl. Back when he was just a smart, devastatingly handsome 39-year-old college professor I secretly crushed on. Back when I didn't know the truth. David Norman is a four-century-old wolf-shifter.An Alpha King with a temper, a kingdom… and far too many secrets.When the heck did my life turn into a supernatural Hollywood movie? I rate this movie 1 star, because I'm the one character who bad things keep happening to. Am I even the main character? Probably not. I have no clue what's going on. That tells me that I'm the clueless side character who is gonna get killed. Very soon."When is the Luna festiv

Chapter: 58. Seized by the packLeonardo's POVThe bullet hits me, just below my ribs. Blood is lightly dripping. But it's almost like the bullet bounce off me.I choke out a laugh. "You know the best thing about being a werewolf? Guns can't hurt me. A thousand bullets cannot kill me."Roman smirks. "Who said anything about killing you? I only want to weaken you and make you unable to fight back when I take you.""Take me?""Back to the forest, working as an Omega for me, where you should have been a long time ago.""I'd rather die than do that.""Your death, huh? Don't worry, that can easily be arranged... just not now."Roman gestures to the men in black. "Get him. Knock him out if he resists."I glance back at my car. A couple of muscle-bound goons have surrounded it. Mickie and Lena are trapped inside, no doubt scared out of their minds."Call off your dogs," I say, locking eyes with Roman. "Tell them to back off my people… and I’ll go with you. Willingly.""Good choice," he murmurs, smiling.Every muscle in my

Chapter: 57. A risky arrivalLeonardo's POVI walk down the flight of stairs of the private jet and take off my sunglasses. The hot Cali sun hits my eyes instantly and I squint."Welcome back, kid!" Mickie exclaims, standing at the bottom of the stairs."Feels good to be back, Manager," I grin.Arms open wide, she embraces me. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I missed you, Leonardo."I fake a gasp, pulling away in the most dramatic way. "You missed me? Damn, I should probably record you saying this, and make it my ringtone.""Ha-ha-ha," she says, before giving her signature eye-roll. "Cherish that moment, because it's the last time I'll say something that cheesy. To anyone."I smile. "Missed you too, Mickie. But I'm sure you had other trouble-making clients to deal with while I was gone. Didn't you?""Of course I do," she replies. "But you're not just another troublesome client to me. You're like a son."I put my arm around Mickie's shoulder endearingly and playfully. "Mom, this is the second cheesy thing

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
