Chapter: Chapter 25Evelyn's POV"They want our supplies and our rafts. That's all this is."Madeline clenched her jaw. "They can have the raft when I'm dead."Elliott stayed calmer. "There are too many of them. If this turns into a fight, we may be the ones who lose.""We can't give in," Madeline said. "If we do it once, they'll never leave us alone."I turned to look at Damian standing in the shadows. "What do you think?"Damian shrugged. "Your call.""Eli, even if they find food, there won't be enough for everyone. They'll only turn on each other."I laid out my plan. "Let's lend them one raft. Tell them to find their own boats.""There are outdoor stores all over Miami. If they move fast, they may find a rescue boat or another raft. Then they won't keep coming after ours."Madeline stared at me. "What if they lose it or someone steals it?

Chapter: Chapter 80Genevieve's POVSunlight streamed through the restaurant windows, casting mottled patches of light and shadow on us. "How about it? Not bad, huh? I checked other people's reviews on Facebook to choose this restaurant," I said triumphantly."Mm, not bad," Jessica glanced around and casually remarked.I sensed that something was off with Jessica. I looked at her curiously and asked, "Jess, what's wrong? You seem distracted today."She just lightly pursed her lips, silent, those closed lips like a tightly shut city gate, locking her thoughts securely inside.I couldn't let her off the hook so easily, so I nudged her arm. "What's going on? I'm worried about you."She lifted her head, looked at me, and then said, "Haven't you seen today's entertainment news?"I quickly took out my phone from my bag, eager to open Twitter, my fingers swiftly scrolling on the screen.

Chapter: Chapter 79Zander's POVA strange panic gripped me as my intense kisses ignited a desire within me. I longed for Jessica, yearned to possess her.

The thundering heartbeats set a new life in me."Wait," a small, breathless whisper escaped her lips as she tried to stop me, but there was no going back now. I pulled away for a moment and then stared down at her bare breasts exposed under my wicked grasp. "I said, you can only be mine," I said as I wrapped a hand around her throat and pushed her against the headboard on the sheets. A loud scream escaped from her lips as my tongue dipped between her legs. Clearly, the sudden excitement and pleasure almost sent her over the edge. Her hips thrusted in a steady rhythm against my mouth. I

Chapter: Chapter 78Jessica's POVI looked at his back, clad in a tailored suit and his meticulously styled hair. He was a man of precision, yet sometimes his extremes were terrifying. I looked at him and said, "We're divorced. I don't have the duty to play the loyalty game with you anymore. I'm leaving."However, his cold fingertips, like a snake's tongue, slithered down my cheek, showing no intention of letting me go. During our relationship, he had one rule: no betrayal. But now that we were divorced, his possessiveness had not decreased, but instead had reached a pathological level."Zander, let me go," I said.Zander pressed my body against the cold wall, his smile chilling. "Jessica, if I hold you, will you not be cold?""Zander! Are you insane?"His body was hot, pressed tightly against mine. The atmosphere between us immediately became ambiguous.

Chapter: Chapter 76Jessica's POVHearing Sigmund's words, I instinctively looked at Zander, who was clenching his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging. My heart tightened. I knew Zander all too well. His intense possessiveness was like a raging fire, capable of consuming everything in its path. Sigmund's words had, without a doubt, initiated a silent challenge to Zander in front of everyone.I felt a sense of tension.

How could I forget them easily?Before I could speak, Genevieve stepped in. "He was good to Jess at first, but as soon as the novelty wore off, he cheated immediately.

Chapter: Chapter 3Loretta's POVI released a faint trace of the authority that belonged to the pack's Luna. Susie froze."If you forget your place again, I won't mind telling Margaret exactly how you've been 'taking care' of me."I'm leaving the Razor Pack soon anyway. Why should I keep putting up with these people?Susie's face went pale. She snapped, "The Alpha is waiting for you in the dining room."When I entered, Zane looked up at me.I knew exactly how I looked. My plain white shirt stretched awkwardly over my swollen, misshapen body. My face was puffy and blotchy, and my eyes had nearly disappeared into the flesh around them.Open disgust filled his face.I gave myself a bitter smile and silently took the seat farthest from him.Zane spoke with the cold, scolding tone of a man used to giving orders. "You're pregnant, not paralyzed. Stop expecting everyone to accommodate you."I stirred the thick soup in my bowl. The needle mark from yesterday's IV was still visible on the back of my hand."If th

His eyes were as cold as a lake beneath winter ice. When his gaze reached the slight curve of my belly, it paused for a fraction of a second.Streetlights swept past the windows one after another.In the past, I would have seized these moments alone with him and fumbled for something to talk about.Back then, my wolf still defended him. She would tell me gently, Just wait. Our mate isn't ready yet.Now she said nothing.Zane didn't care how I felt. In the same cold tone as always, he said, "After the baby is born, I'll reject you as my mate."My fingers
