Chapter: 095DiegoTime and time again, Ashton Blackthorne and his mate, Sapphire, keep finding ways to screw with me. They just find creative ways to disrupt my life. My pack.The second the authorities told me their purpose for coming to Silvercrest—to investigate the circumstances of Lana's death—I knew instantly Ashton had something to do with it.But… how? How did Ashton manage to figure out that Lana's death wasn't natural? Did that bitch Sapphire say something? She must have managed to plant the idea to investigate Lana's death in his head.I remembered vividly when she had come rushing down the stairs when Amethyst and I were about to seal the deal in our marriage, blatantly accusing both of us of poisoning Lana. However she found that out still remained a mystery to me. Back then, I couldn't properly figure out if she was just throwing baseless accusations or if she truly knew something about Lana's death.Unfortunately, my inability to get to the bottom of it grew because the Moon Goddes

Chapter: 094LanaAshton and I were curled under the sheets of the bed, our legs touching each other, our eyes locked in. I was completely lost in the gaze of his cold blue eyes. The old me would have been petrified at the thought of staring into his eyes just after we made love.The sex—it was amazing. My mind replayed every second of it. Every thrust. Every time he groaned my name and I moaned out his name in response.“What are you thinking about?” He asked in a soft whisper. His finger brushed a loose strand of my hair away from my face.“Hm nothing,” I lied.He let out a soft chuckle, then asked, “Are you sure? Something tells me you were thinking about sex.”My face instantly turned red. I rolled over the sheets and turned my back against him, hiding how red I had become. How does he do that?“I knew you were thinking about that,” he laughed.“Shut up!”All my worries about Diego and Amethyst and getting justice for myself had completely vanished for a moment. All I could think about was sta

Chapter: 093LanaFreezing my assets, away from Diego's claws felt like victory. I remember standing there when Ashton gave the order using his series of network to freeze everything I once had.Somewhere far away, I knew Diego’s safety net had just been ripped out from under him, and the thought of that satisfied me more than it did.Ashton even went a step further today when he dropped an anonymous tip to the authorities about my death being a possible murder.I remember turning to him so fast, panicking slightly. “You did what?”And he just shrugged casually and dry like it was nothing. “I don’t like loose ends.”Ashton assured me that with everyone breathing down Diego's neck, he was doomed. He was right. Diego was cornered, his money—well, my money—was gone, and now the law was sniffing around his neck.But why did I still feel like something still wasn’t finished?Even now, sitting across from Ashton hours later, I couldn’t shake it necause I knew Diego. He will refuse fall down helplessly.

Chapter: 092Chapter 92DiegoKilling Ashton Blackthorne had to be the most enjoyable thing any werewolf, whether beta or omega, could ever do in their whole life.He wasn't invincible, I was pretty sure about that. He definitely had some kind of weakness and if I could find it, I would use it to finally take him down once and for all.But first, I needed to make a new alliance. Something strong enough that would help me bring about the complete downfall of Ashton Blackthorne.There was no way I was going to carry out an open attack on him by myself. That would just be pure suicide and I knew it. My wolf wasn't nearly strong enough to go up against his and win.Then slowly, an idea started forming inside my head. I could use a group of expendable werewolves to do all the dirty work for me.Rogue werewolves.Rogues are such pathetic creatures, honestly. That's what everybody always liked to call them. Savages, outcasts, total failures. Wolves that just couldn't fit into any proper pack. The kind th

Chapter: 091DiegoThere had to be a mistake. There just… had to be.I refused to believe nothing else!I stood behind my desk and poured myself a glass of whisky. Trainning this morning had already worn me out. I got even more worn out when this legal rep told me all of my dead wife's assets were frozen.It was probably just a hoax. No point losing my head over something this trivial.Hmm yeah… it was probably just some clerical nonsense. Lawyers messed things up all the time. Papers misplaced, signatures delayed, approvals stuck somewhere stupid. It happens.It had to be that.I picked up the glass and took a small sip, letting the burn settle at the back of my throat before I glanced toward the man standing awkwardly across from me.He looked tense.I didn’t like that.“Hmm… you want a drink?” I asked casually, lifting the glass slightly in his direction.He shook his head almost immediately. “No, Alpha. I’m fine.”“Oh, I think you might need it,” I muttered, taking another sip.The door creake

Chapter: 090AmethystGetting Lana's wealth for myself wasn't as easy as I wanted it to be.I exhaled sharply through my nose, pushing myself off the wall as my expression tightened.I couldn’t just walk in and claim anything. Not without a position or a claim strong enough to stand.The only way I could have a claim to my bestfriend's fortune was to get married to the one person who does.Of course it had to come back to Diego.If I was married to him, everything would be easier. I’d have a right to stand there and say it belonged to me without anyone questioning it too much.But that was the problem, wasn’t it?A few days ago, Diego had practically thrown me out without actually doing it. Dismissed me like I was nothing. And now I was supposed to turn around and get him to marry me?I tilted my head slightly, my lips pressing together as I thought it through.Not impossible but I just needed the right pressure.Because if there was one thing I knew about Diego, it was he didn’t move unless somet

Chapter: 028Harper's POV"Where are we going?" I asked."I'll show you." He stood up from the bench and held out his hand.I looked at it. "Why does that gesture make me nervous?""Because you have good instincts." He kept his hand out. "Come on.""Ashton, where are we going?""You'll see when we get there.""That is the least comforting answer you could have given me.""Harper." He looked at me with that steady unbothered patience he had.I took his hand.He pulled me up from the bench and didn't let go and we walked out of the courtyard and I kept waiting for him to tell me the plan and he kept not telling me and after about two minutes of walking I recognized where we were headed and my stomach dropped."The cafeteria, you are taking me to the cafeteria.""I am.""Ashton, that is where this whole thing started, it isn't a good idea.”"I know," he said. "That's why it has to be there."I planted my feet. He turned around."I need you to trust me for approximately ten minutes," he said. "That's

Chapter: 027Harper's POVHe was already at the east courtyard when I got there.Sitting on the bench with his elbows on his knees and his phone in his hand and when he heard my footsteps he looked up and the first thing he did was read my face.Then he pressed his lips together like he was trying very hard not to smile."You better don't start," I said, dropping onto the bench beside him."I didn't say anything.""Ashton, I know you were about to.""I was about to ask how you were doing.""With a smile on your face.""I smile when I'm concerned, It's a condition." He said."Ashton." I turned to look at him fully. "I walked across the entire campus this morning not knowing anything was wrong and I had to find out by standing behind a group of very mean girls reading your step one step two step three out loud like it was a fun activity."He smiled then, and I pointed at him."That is not funny, Ashton, I am so freaking tired.”"It's a little funny.""It is not even slightly funny!" But my voice cra

Chapter: 026Ashton's POV“Jeez, who is it?” I groaned out of sleep.The knock on my door at seven am was aggressive enough that I knew before I opened it that something was wrong.I knew it wasn't Cole's knock. Cole used three even taps like a normal person. These were four hard ones, designed to communicate urgency without saying a word.I opened the door.My father was standing in the hallway in a charcoal suit with his car keys still in his hand and he had interrupted a schedule he had already committed to mentally. It was shocking.I stared at him. He stared back with a grim expression."Dad." I said it the way you said the name of something you hadn't seen in long enough that it took a second to place. "You're at my dorm this early?”"I'm aware of where I am.""You've never been to my dorm.""I'm aware of that too." He looked past me into the apartment and then assessed me with his eyes. "Are you going to let me in or are we doing this in the hallway?"I stepped back.He walked in, looked a

Chapter: 025Harper's POV“Harper, breakfast is ready!” My mom yelled.I woke up in a good mood for the first time in two weeks. Even though my head felt like it was about to explode after yesterday’s party, I was still all smiles when I woke up.I don't mean the jumping out of bed, everything was in a wonderful kind of good mood. It was more of the quiet, unremarkable kind where you open your eyes and your first thought isn't something heavy. I showered, got dressed, ate an actual breakfast while sitting down.“I can't believe I stood up to Madison, now she knows the truth.” I whispered to myself at the breakfast table and left for campus at eight fifteen feeling almost like a person.It lasted until the main path."Did you see what Ashton did?"The voice came from my left before I had even made it past the fountain.I didn't stop walking but my ears tuned out everything else automatically."The whole thing was staged," another voice said. "Like from the beginning."I glanced sideways. Two girls

Chapter: 024Madison's POVI found Sienna outside the party, which meant she had either seen what happened inside or heard about it already. With Sienna it was usually both."She slapped her," one of the girls beside her said when she saw me coming."I know," Sienna said, eyes on me. "I watched."I stopped in front of her and said nothing for a second."Are you okay?" Sienna asked."No.""Good. Anger is useful." She pushed off the wall. "Come on."We went back to Sienna's apartment and she poured two glasses of something I didn't ask the name of and sat across from me at her kitchen table with her phone already out."How long have you had it?" I asked."The screenshots?" She set her phone on the table face up. "Three weeks."I stared at her. "Three weeks.""I was waiting for the right moment." She picked up her glass. "The Sportsman of the Year voting opens in four days. This is the right moment."I looked at the screen. The screenshots were clear, Ashton's messages to one of his teammates, laid o

Chapter: 023Harper's POVI walked aimlessly because I didn't want to go home.I stood outside in the cold for about fourteen minutes after leaving Ashton, fully intending to go back to my dorm and process everything responsibly and sleep on it the way a rational person would.Then I heard the music from three blocks over.The victory party was at one of the hockey team's off campus houses and I could hear it from the corner and I stood there and thought about going back to my room and lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling with every single thing Ashton had just said running on a loop in my head.I walked toward the music instead.The house was packed.Every Westbrook athlete and their extended social circle seemed to have materialized in this building, this only existed after a win, loud and loose and completely unbothered by anything outside these four walls.I got a drink from the kitchen, something that tasted like fruit and had enough behind it to be useful, and I stood near the wall and
