Chapter: KILL OR BE KILLEDPOV: SASHAI slam the door to Elena's hotel suite without knocking. The guards posted outside don’t even blink anymore. They are used to me barging in by now, but today is different. Today, my name is trending and not in the way I want.Fake photo leaks.My face, my name, dragged into a storm I didn’t start. And I know exactly where to begin looking."What the hell did you do?" I hiss, marching into the living room where she sits like she owns the goddamn world.Elena doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t even look up from her tablet."Sasha," she says like I’m a child who tracked mud into her marble foyer. "Lower your voice.""Don’t you dare patronize me," I snap, yanking the tablet from her hands and throwing it onto the velvet couch. "You leaked those pictures. And you know damn well it is going to come back to me."She sighs. Sighs. Like she’s bored. "If you think for one second I am behind that noise, you have given me too much credit. Or not nearly enough."I laugh, sharp and bitter. "Don’t i

Chapter: CLOSE RANGE POV: KAIA (ALINA)I don’t flinch when I see the headline."KAIA LANE: WHO IS SHE REALLY?"I stare at the photo they used. It's grainy, lit like a smear campaign. I’m stepping out of the car. My hand is raised, shielding my face. And behind me—Damien. Close enough to be called intimate. Too close.They’re not real.I know that. The angles are wrong. The lighting doesn’t match. My face is too stiff, like it was cut out and slapped on. But they don’t need to be real. Not when people believe them. Not when they look at the headline, then at me, and start whispering.The assistant. The one no one knew much about. The one always too calm. Too clean. Too close.I toss the tablet onto the couch and press the heels of my palms into my eyes.They think they’ve got something. They think this will shake me.It does.Not because of what it says. But because of what it means.I pivot fast.Vivian is already on the phone by the time I storm into the war room. I can hear her lying beautifully. Calm,

Chapter: FIRST STRIKEPOV: ELENA CROSS"You're live in three, two, one—"I don’t blink. I smile.The lights hit. The anchor’s voice filters in, all warm professionalism, like we’re here to talk about philanthropy, not political blood. I lean forward, fold my hands just so, and tilt my head like I’m grateful for the opportunity. I smile—wide, soft, rehearsed. Not too confident. Not too contrived. The kind of smile a woman wears when she’s been painted a villain but wants the world to know she’s just misunderstood.They wanted me to cancel. They begged, actually. Said it was risky—too many allegations, too much heat. But that’s exactly why I’m doing it now. While the blood’s still in the water. Let them think they’ve wounded me.Let them think I’m bleeding.The anchor shifts in her seat. "Elena, you’ve been under intense public scrutiny since the allegations broke. Political bribery. Tampering with law enforcement records. Even connections to a decades-old missing persons case. Are you—are you stepping down

Chapter: THE BURN BACKPOV: NATHANIELThe room smells like tension and cologne and too much money being burned. I stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in my office, watching the stock ticker on my monitor drop by another point. That’s the third today."They are panicking," I mutter.Behind me, the sound of shoes clicking against marble grows louder. Sasha. Always stomping around like she owns the place. I don’t turn.She has surprisingly calmed down from my last scheme and that is enough to worry me.Maybe I shouldn't have done that, but she needed to be taught a lesson. Either way, I will just have to be prepared for whatever shit she pulls this time."You see this shit?" she says, slapping a printed headline onto my desk. Her voice is sharp, high-pitched. "Ashen’s stock is climbing again. People are calling Kaia 'a silent visionary.' There is another article speculating she is the one pulling strings behind the scenes."I finally glance at the paper. The headline is bold, red. Ashen’s Enigmatic

Chapter: THE SPILLPOV: Nina RhodesI don’t drink coffee. Never have. But I have had three black espressos this morning and I still feel like my brain is crawling with bees.Because someone just delivered a bomb to my doorstep.The envelope is thick. Too thick to be anything good.No return address. No stamps. Just my name. Printed. All caps. Like a damn threat.No return address. No card. Just a manila envelope with my name typed on a sticker. I sit on the edge of my desk, my hands hovering. My gut already knows this isn’t fan mail. Or another bullshit tip about Nathaniel Cross sleeping with some washed-up heiress.I tear it open.Inside are two photos. One is old, faded, a picture I have seen before but never this clear. Alina Rivers. Teenager. Smiling like she didn’t know the storm coming. There is handwriting in red pen beneath it: Alina Rivers. Age 16. Subject 47A.The second photo is glossy. Recent. High-res. Kaia Hale at Ashen’s first investor gala. Cold expression. Eyes sharp as razors. Same bon

A SECOND CHANCE FOR BULLIED LUNA
“I don't understand,” I tell Viktor, desperately. “I don't know why the bond is still there. I accepted his rejection, I don't want him, I want you. Whatever yearnings you saw between us, is not by choice. You are my mate. I choose you.”
“Then why is the bind still present?” he snaps as he turns from me.
“I don't know! And frankly, I don't care! I haven't cared or thought about Dominic in nearly a decade. How can I prove that you are the one I love?” I ask as I take hold of his hands, hoping that he sees my sincerity.
“Have the ceremony with me.”
“What?!”
“The mating ceremony, where we bind ourselves to each other. Let's do it. That is the only way I can relax. Be mine. Truly, mine.”
Rowan Blaze, abused and maltreated in her former pack and after being rejected and left to die by her Alpha finds a second chance as a rogue.
Now known as the Winter Wolf, and leader of the largest rogue coalition, with a renowned dislike for packs, fate offers her another chance at love in the form of Alpha Viktor Thorn, a renowned man known for his wicked intelligence and stubborn persona.
How do these two stubborn individuals react to this opportunity? Are they capable of letting their walls down and giving life one more chance? And what of Dominic Valor? Is he capable of letting go of his rejected mate or would he do anything to right the wrong he made years ago?

Chapter: CHAPTER 141: OKAY. THE END FOR REAL.ROWAN“Mummy looks like a princess!”I laugh at the remark as I stand in front of the full-length mirror, fingers trailing over the delicate fabric of my mating dress. The soft white folds cling to my body like a second skin, flowing down in elegant waves to pool around my feet. The intricate gold embroidery along the bodice and hem catches the soft light, making it glimmer like stars across a night sky. The dress is modeled after ancient Greek designs, and yet it feels uniquely mine, as if it were made for this exact moment. Which it was.“You are right,” Lisa tells Jhenells as she adjusts the waist, while Rina’s fussing over my hair, placing small white flowers into the delicate braids. “But a queen instead. You are the princess.”Kaylee stands off to the side, smiling at me like she already knows what I am thinking.“You look... perfect, Rowan,” she says softly, her eyes filled with warmth. “Viktor won’t know what hit him.”I let out a small laugh, a nervous tremble in my chest

Chapter: CHAPTER 140: THE ENDDOMINIC The world narrows down to just Viktor and me, as it was always going to be. This fight has been a long time comingHis eyes burn into mine from below, and I snarl down at him from the balcony. All the noise, all the chaos around us fades into nothing. Just him. Just me. My pulse thunders in my ears as I leap from the ledge, muscles coiling, ready to tear him apart.In mid-air, the change rips through me. Bones snap, skin stretches, and fur bursts from my skin. The transformation into my wolf form is savage, overwhelming. And in the space of a heartbeat, I am no longer a man but a beast. I barely register Viktor doing the same, his massive body surging upward to meet mine.We collide like thunder.Teeth flash, claws slash, fur and flesh tear. I drive him to the ground, snarling, biting, desperate to tear out his throat. But he fights back just as viciously, his teeth sinking into my shoulder with a brutal snap. The pain is white-hot, but I don’t feel it. Not really.

Chapter: CHAPTER 139: SHOW DOWN.DOMINICThe fight surrounds me the moment I step into the clearing, chaos, mouse, bloodshed, everything swallowing up the night. Wolves… mone and outsiders…they are everywhere. It is impossible to tell who is who at first, just teeth, fur, and blood under the slivers of moonlight. They… Viktor and Rowan, they were ready for us. That much I expected, but what I didn’t count on was the sheer number of them.I should have been warned. I should have seen this coming. But no one told me. Not even Calvin.I can see Viktor and Rowan through the mayhem, cutting through my wolves like they knew every move we would make. Like someone had informed them of my protocols When I find who that fucking traitor is, he or she would wish their parents had never met.How the hell did they get so close? I wonder as my pulse quickens with anger, as I push through the bloodied mess to get to them.But then I see the others- Maxwell, Fin, Sven, Kaylee and her weakling husband, Donald. Traitors.Wha

Chapter: Chapter 138: BEGINNING OF THE ENDDOMINIC“Let me out! I hate you!”Jhenelle’s voice rings out again, shrill and desperate, making the fragile peace I had hoped for, to be nothing more than a dream Her words slam into me, causing a visceral reaction that surprises even meHer small fists bang against the door, over and over, relentless. Each hit feels like a direct assault on my patience. She doesn’t understand. No.She refuses to understand. I stand just outside the door, my hands pressed against my temples, trying to drown out her cries. But no matter how hard I press, her voice breaks through, each shout like a blade carving away at my restraint. I have given her everything, more than Rowan ever could, more than anyone could. A life free from struggle, safety, power, a future in her rightful place by my side.As the future Alpha of the obsidian pack.What more could she possibly want?Why does she keep rejecting me? Why does she keep fighting me like this?“Jhenelle, stop!” I snap, but my voice is lost bene

Chapter: CHAPTER 137: RALLYROWAN They say the truth always finds a way to come out.And that is better you let it come from your own mouth than anotherI just hope that is true.Especially now.The tension in the air is so thick, I can almost taste it. This the first time the settlement has been this packed, with wolves from all over have gathered, and it is like the entire place is holding its breath, waiting for an explosion. Their eyes are on me, waiting for answers. You can differentiate my wolves from the others.They are angry, confused, a little scared because of the foreign pack wolves but more than anything, they are restless. Dominic has crossed a line, touched their little wolf and they want blood.The other wolves are just curious about why they have been summoned and are waiting for an explanationIt is Kaylee that first steps forward first, her mate, Donald, right behind her.“What are we doing here, Rowan?” She asks, her voice cutting through the low murmurs of the other wolves. “You have e

Chapter: CHAPTER 136: BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBTROWAN SLAM!The door to my study bursts open, crashing against the wall with a force that sends a shudder through the room, making me whirl around, heart racing only to see Alden dragging a trembling wolf behind him. A familiar wolf.Martin.One of the deserters.Oh, I knew it!I knew I shouldn't have accepted these scums into the Coalition Martin's face is ashen, his eyes wide with panic, darting around the room like a trapped animal. I stand abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. "Alden, what is this?" My voice is steady, but there is a hint of rage that I can't hide.Alden says nothing at first, simply steps aside to let two others enter. A young woman and a young man, both wolves from the obsidian pack, step forward. Their faces are tense, their eyes locked on me.Lisa, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, rises to her feet, her eyes narrowing as she takes in the scene. Viktor, standing by the window, moves closer, his presence commanding the room while Rina
