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: 064Harper's POV"He's asking for you again," the nurse said, stopping me in the corridor on my way back the next morning.I had come alone. Ashton had dropped me at the entrance and said he'd wait in the car, I understood him, and I had walked in.I pushed open Ethan's door. He was sitting up, wrist elevated, hospital breakfast untouched, and he looked better than last night, it was honestly more improvement than I had seen people look better after such an accident or shock."You came back," he said."I said I would, how's the wrist?” I sat in the chair beside the bed."Annoyingly painful, coach is going to be furious.""Coach can wait," I said. "How are you actually?""Strange, like something got shaken loose and I can't put it back where it was." He looked at the window. "I've been lying here since six am thinking about things I've been avoiding thinking about.""Like the fact that you were the first person they called,"The door opened, then I saw him. Mr. Reid was in the room and the

Chapter: 063Harper's POV"Which hospital?" Ashton said.He was already up, already finding my clothes, I was still sitting on the bed with the phone in my hand processing the words emergency contact and accident and stable condition."I need to call back, th..hey didn't say." I was tumbling over my words."Call in the car, we need to leave now,”We were out the door in under two minutes.I got the hospital name on the second call, a Collins RD hospital, and told Ashton and he redirected without a word and I sat with my hands in my lap and stared at the road and tried to locate the feeling in my chest accurately.I was scared, fear of losing someone I had spent two years caring about and couldn't switch that off regardless of everything that had changed between this morning and now."Hey, the caller said he is stable. You don't have to worry all the way there.”"I know.""You're still scared."He didn't say anything else, he just tried to drive faster.Madison was in the waiting room when we got t

Chapter: 062HARPER'S POVAfter the date, I walked back to campus alone letting go of what was supposed to be.I met up with Ashton the next day. I hadn't told him about any of the meetups so far, I was thinking of different ways on how to start the conversation.“You seem a bit distant, is there anything I should know?”We were on the bench outside and he was right. I had been present enough to respond when required but the rest of me had been thinking about something else entirely.”"I had coffee with Ethan last week," I said.He looked at his cup. "Oh yeah, I kinda figured it out.""You knew? Why didn't you say anything?"He turned to look at me directly. "Someone told me, and because I didn't know what you'd say back."I stared at him. "What did you think I'd say?""That you still had feelings for him." He held my gaze. "And I wasn't ready to hear that.""And if I told you I didn't still have feelings for him."Ashton looked at me for a long second."I'd say it's about time."I let the words s

Chapter: 061Ashton's POV"Oh, saw your brother with Harper at the restaurant place near the east gate by the way. It looked like a whole thing, flowers on the table and everything.”Bryce told me on a Friday morning like it was nothing.We were taping up before practice, the locker room loud with pre-session energy, we had played well all week and knew it.And Bryce was talking about something else entirely, a party, a girl, a story that I had been half following and then he mentioned Harper in the middle of everything else like it was just another detail in a list of things that had happened in his life.I finished the tape on my wrist. "When?" I said."Yesterday afternoon around three." Bryce kept talking, moving on to the next thing, completely unaware that he had dropped a bomb. “Anyway, back to what I was saying—"Practice was the best session I had put together all month.Coach pulled me aside after the first drill and said whatever I was doing I should keep doing it and I nodded and went

Chapter: 060Harper's POV"You're early," I said.Ethan was already at the corner table when I walked in, which was new. He was always never on time, never before, and finding him already seated with two menus and a small bunch another flowers on the table told me he had been here long enough to have arranged all of it and sit with his hands folded waiting."I didn't want you to be the one waiting this time," he gestured for me to sit.I sat down across from him and looked at the flowers and then at his face and he looked like someone who had made a decision and was quietly committed to seeing it through."How are you?" he smiled.I looked at him. "You actually want to know?""I actually want to know.""I am tired, I have an essay that's due on Friday, how about you?”"Better than last week." He turned his cup on the table. "Madison and I talked.""How did it go?”"Honestly? It was hard. She said things I needed to hear and I said things I should have explained before we started all these and by t

Chapter: 059Harper's POVI went back to my dorm after and I couldn't stop beaming."You have a visitor."Jade said it from the doorway and broke my flashbacks.I looked up from my laptop. "Who?""Tall, football shoulders, holding flowers for the second time this month." She leaned against the frame. "Your brother's keeper is downstairs.""Ethan is not my—""I know what he is," she said. "I'm just telling you he's there."I closed my laptop.."Did he say what he wanted?""He said he wanted to talk." She paused. "He looked nervous, which I will admit I found mildly interesting because I have never seen him look nervous around you.”I sat there for a second. "Tell him I'll be down in five minutes," I said.Jade disappeared, I stayed on my bed for the full five minutes doing nothing except staring at the wall and having a very brief and very direct internal conversation with myself about what I was and was not going to do in this interaction.I was not going to be the version of me that dissolved the
