Chapter: Chapter 41Camila's POVSamantha was quiet. Daniel was somehow cold towards me. Vincent was saying how capable he knew I was in doing the task.A lot was happening during that meeting, and I was really trying to get my head around it all.With my confirmation that I was ready to do the set-up with Margaret, Vincent seemed a bit happier, while Samantha still remained silent.“Perfect. If you can get her to spill everything to you, the prosecution will have no ground to give her a plea deal.We'll make sure that she serves for the crimes that she has committed against both companies." One of the legal representatives said as he handed me a file.From what I could tell when I looked at it, was that it had detailed all the information Margaret had given in her confession.It further detailed the other charges that the prosecution was hoping to go for, and the charges that would be dropped if she made the plea deal.I was so engrossed with the document for a couple of minutes, that I didn't realize t

Chapter: Chapter 40Camila's POVI felt the glare on my back as I was walking into the room. Samantha had to be seething with rage, but had no otherwise but to remain professional.I went ahead to take my seat and Charles made sure to sit next to me, while Prime Ventures associates were taking their seats opposite from us.Not a second later, a few more people walked into the room. Most of them were familiar faces, those of the people I had seen during the meetings that I had with Charles.And then, a last group walked in. Vicent was the one in the lead, while two women and a man followed him closely behind.Seeing the crowd getting bigger, I realized that it slipped past me about the meeting, and if it were not for Charles, I would have been walking in late into such an important meeting.Once everyone was seated, all eyes went to Vincent, who seemed to be the one supposed to head the meeting.He began by introducing the people he had walked in with as a team of legal experts that were supposed to help

Chapter: Chapter 39Camila's POVSomething was up with Vincent. He started hovering over me at work. Or that's what I thought at least.I would be busy working on something, and then get a feeling that someone was watching me. And every time that I would look, I would find him staring at me.And then, he started working closely with me. A few days after the first site visit after my injury, he walked over to my desk and made an inquiry on a note that I had taken from the site visit.Call it whatever you want, but the inquiry was something that could have been made over the phone. Or he would have even gone ahead and asked his personal assistant to make the inquiry.I wanted to believe that I was overthinking it, but the more I looked at it, the more it didn't make sense.For someone who barely stepped out of his office to deal with anything, he was starting to roam around the floor pretty frequently.Just days after the site visit, I was seated in my cubicle going over some of the documentation that was

Chapter: Chapter 38Kyra's POVHe was the last person that I ever expected to see in the field. And he was already walking in our direction.At that moment, my mind completely zoned out as I was still in disbelief, trying to process whether it was actually him. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Charles in the field. Vincent was a completely different kind of surprise to see.Daniel was probably talking to me, but I couldn't hear a thing. My attention was on someone else entirely. And I only remembered that I was even with Daniel when he asked, “Are you even listening to me Cam?"My brain refreshed, and I immediately looked back at Daniel who seemed slightly irritated by how I was absent-minded.I couldn't care less about what he thought or felt. As long as he made it clear that he didn't try to speak to me in private about work, nothing else mattered.He could speak all he wanted, but he wouldn't need to demand my attention. That's why I scoffed right in his face.“Are you done?" I questioned him, wa

Chapter: Chapter 37Camila's POVIt was impossible for me not to hear her name and avoid rolling my eyes immediately. And it's not like I tried to hide it from Daniel. I made sure that he saw me do that.The last person that I wanted to talk about was the ex best friend that took my ex husband. Not only that. But I also didn't want to talk about her with the said ex-husband.“I don't want to hear anything about her from you. In fact, I don't even want to talk to you.If you really have to talk to me, keep it professional. I just got back from an injury and this is my first assignment back, can you not do this?" I asked him as I was ready to walk away.Normally, any person should have taken the hint and let me walk away. But did Daniel take the hint? Absolutely not.Was he about to let me walk away and leave me to be in peace? Absolutely not again.I felt his slimy fingers wrap around my wrist the moment I took a step away from him and was about to walk away.The anger that I had every single time I saw h

Chapter: Chapter 36Camila's POVStepping out of the car and getting hit by a breeze of fresh air, mixed with a little bit of dust, a taste of cement, and the scent of sweat was the welcome back that I was looking forward to. I got cleared by the company to go back to the field within a few days, and I was finally back. At home, mum was still hesitant with the decision, but I assured her that I was good to go. There was no fun in me staying in the office for days after they introduced me to field work. Something about being out there and watching over the men working in the sites gave me an adrenaline rush.A woman in charge, while the men were working their asses off, and trying to make sure that I didn't see anything that was out of place. That tickled something deep inside of me that I still don't know how to explain.I walked behind my colleagues, who didn't bother to hide the fact that they were happy I was finally back.Throughout the entire car ride to the site, we caught up and gossipped a bit

Chapter: Chapter 5Emily's POV:Did I completely lose my mind this morning? Victoria Langford had literally offered me twenty-two and a half million dollars to pay off David’s ruinous debt, plus an extra five million just to disappear. And what did I do? I threw it right back in her face.Now, with the quiet house trapping me in my own thoughts, the reality of what I’d rejected sank in. But honestly, what was the alternative? Going through the agonizing pain of labor? Risking the permanent physical toll, the postpartum depression, the absolute chaos that happens to a woman’s body, just to leave my child with a man who was clearly unhinged?When I had demanded to know why Victoria wanted me to do this, she had just leveled me with a freezing glare. “The reason is none of your business. Just do your job and I will clear your debt.”It didn't make any sense. If she just wanted a grandchild, why couldn't her son marry any of the high-society women in New York? Why did the matriarch need her son's dead fian

Chapter: Chapter 4Ethan's POV:"Are you absolutely sure no one’s found anything at all about Sophie?"Seated in the passenger seat beside the driver, Xavier didn’t look back at me. “I’m sure, Ethan. There’s still no update. The team’s checked the ocean more than fifty times and her body still hasn't been found, just her belongings.”I clenched my jaw, the pressure threatening to crack my teeth. "Then she's not dead."“Ethan…” Xavier sighed, finally turning his head just slightly in my direction. “Her parents buried an empty casket, and they mourn her every day. You think she’d really fake her death and let them go through all that pain just to get away from you?”I scoffed, shifting slightly in my seat, fingers drumming aggressively against the armrest. “They never wanted her with me in the first place.”“You’re losing your mind.” He muttered. “And dragging me into it.”“No!” I replied coldly. “I’m just the only one who refuses to be played like a fool.”The convoy of blacked-out SUVs pulled into the u

Chapter: Chapter 3Emily's POV:"Emily? Em? Hello? Are you there?"David’s voice kept scraping through the speaker, but the anger that had been keeping me upright completely melted away.If he was this obsessed with keeping a ghost alive, he was never going to let me leave. I was a prisoner in a cage, destined to be locked up forever just because of the shape of my face."Emily, talk to me!" David panicked."David.” I whispered, my voice trembling, all my earlier confidence entirely gone. "I need to get out of here, I need to find a way out right now.""Calm down, Em, just listen to me.” David said, his tone shifting into that fast-talking pitch he used when he was trying to sell me on a bad idea. "I have a plan. An idea that can save both of us and get you out of there alive.""What idea?" I asked, gripping the edge of the mattress."Think about it. Right now, he wants you because you look like Sophie, right? So why don't you play along and make him fall for you so hard that he lets his guard down. Let

Chapter: Chapter 2Emily's POV:"Tell me he's lying." I was practically begging for this to be some twisted joke but David didn’t look at me. He just sighed, rubbing the back of his neck like my breakdown was an inconvenience. "He’s not lying, Em. I thought I could flip the money. It was a sure thing...""Shut up!" I screamed, the sound tearing from my throat. "You staked me? Like I’m a piece of property to trade off for a fucking bet?"He flinched but stayed silent. “You lost.” Ethan said, turning to David. “You didn’t bring in the money, and you didn’t bring her to me. So I’ve come to collect what’s mine.”I looked between the two men, one who had ruined my life and the other who now claimed to own it, and I felt something inside me snap. "I’m not David's property, so he doesn't have the right to sell me off." When he didn’t respond, I turned to leave, ready to walk out of the apartment. But before I could even take a full step toward the door, one of Ethan’s suited goons blocked my path. "Move."

Chapter: Chapter 1Emily's POV:I woke up to the cold side of the bed again.No surprise there.The space where David should’ve been was empty, sheets still tucked in like no one had touched them. I sighed, rolled over, and stared up at the ceiling for a good ten seconds before dragging myself out of bed.It was too early for the type of disappointment that had settled in my chest so I didn’t even bother checking my phone because I already knew there were no messages. No “Hey babe, working late” or even a drunken “I’ll be home soon.” “Tch.” I hissed, dragging myself to the bathroom where I took a quick shower, then wore an old jean and a wrinkled blouse I didn’t have time to iron. I had five minutes to brush my hair and throw on some mascara before I’d be officially late to work. But just as I rushed into the sitting room with my bag half-zipped, I froze on seeing that David was right there, passed out on the couch.Seriously?He was flat on his back, mouth slightly open, still in the same stupid hood

Mated To The Exiled Alpha
"Run!" I screamed at her before whatever was on top of me pressed harder on my back, knocking the wind out of me.
I could hear it snarling at everyone else as they stood from a distance and watched in horror.
After what seemed like forever, the pressure on my back was released slowly. I could hear a low and terrifying growl next to my head.
Gathering all the courage I had, I slowly started turning around. In the distance, where the warriors had stood, I saw the mangled bodies in a heap. Some of them still twitching.
I turned completely to see what was on top of me. My blood froze when I came face to face with the biggest wolf that I had ever seen, who's face was drenched in blood.
This monster leaned in close, looking at me like I'm sort of ant, and roared right at my face.
I almost passed out from fright at the sight of the beast.
'Is this how I die?' I questioned as I shook fraily under the best.
When our eyes met, something stood out and for some reason, I instantly knew who it was.
It was Kieran Blackwood. The Exiled Alpha.

When an Exiled Alpha crashes her wedding and takes Lilith hostage, she realized that he is her mate. Will she get married to the man she hates the most? Or, will she side with her Rogue Mate?

Chapter: Missed ThemSeren's POVI didn't want to be left behind and miss out on such a great opportunity like that.If I did, I would have only myself to blame.Who knew that Lilith being friends with people as she grew up instead of being a stuck up jerk like Ryder would have someone willing to help me sneak out of the pack, despite the consequences that would result from it if it was known.So, I quickly packed two different outfits, a bottle of water, a compass, and the bear spray in my small backpack, that I swung on my back and tightened it around me.The search for Lilith meant that I would have to dig deep into my primal wolf side since I wasn't going to look for her in the city.No.She was somewhere inside the woods, and I knew that finding her was going to be next to impossible.However, I wasn't going to give up on her just because the odds were against me, for I knew that she wouldn't also do the same if she was in my shoes.If

Chapter: I'll Do It AloneSeren's POV"When are you leaving?" I asked them, knowing that if they had already thought it through, I would be stupid to let that chance go."We leave in an hour." Sophie answered.That was much sooner than I had expected them to be talking about.In my head, I was thinking about how I could have possibly have more time to think about a good plan on where I was going to look for Lilith.But with them expecting me to be out of the pack with them in less than an hour, it meant that I would have to come up with a plan on the move."An hour!" I exclaimed."We know it's sudden, but we also came to the consensus of bringing you along at the last possible second as well." Zack said."So, is that going to be a problem?" Malachi inquired.Slowly, I shook my head as I was thinking of how fast that opportunity had presented itself and how quick I needed to be if I was serious with finding Lilith."Which side of the border

Chapter: In Or OutSeren's POV"And how are the three of you going to do that?" I asked them.All three of them looked at each other for a couple of seconds, as if it was something that they had sat down and planned prior.Zack, who seemed to be the leader of the group, took a step forward and whispered,"We can't talk out here."I was still a bit skeptical about the help being offered. From the threat that Griffin had made sure that I wouldn't forget, I was assuming that he would be willing to throw me in a trap just so that he could put me in the dungeons.With Ryder obviously wanting to be the one to take all the credit of finding Lilith and bringing her back to the pack, I knew that it wouldn't bode well with him if I was the one to do it.The only problem with his plan was, it was taking too long and there was still one factor to be considered when it came to getting Lilith back.And that was, taking her from the Exiled Alpha.S

Chapter: A Helping HandSeren's POVThe day was about to come to an end, and a lot had happened already.However, what stuck most out of the entire day's events were the words that Ryder had for Griffin,"If I can't have her, no one can!"He sounded so calm about it as he was telling it to one of the most dangerous men of the pack.But what bothered me most was how they were clearly talking in secret.I immediately started to think about how Ryder had been wanting to be crowned Alpha for so long and when the time had finally arrived, that opportunity got snatched right from his mouth.Well, he deserved that since he was also forcing Lilith to become his Luna, which meant that she was expected to be loyal, submissive and love him for the rest of his miserable life.Clearly she was never going to do any of that, and I guess that's why Kieran Blackwood chose that exact moment to attack.However, what I couldn't grasp was why Kieran would att

Chapter: A Query For KieranLilith's POVKieran, who looked like he had been holding it for so long, finally walked up to the chair that I hadn't broken, and sat down.He leaned back, closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.I never thought that I would ever live to see the day when I would be in the same room as Kieran Blackwood.And not only that, but I never also thought that I would ever see him hurt.Yet, both of those things had happened and they had done so in not more than weeks apart.From hearing about him like a myth around the pack members, to actually staying with him in the same cabin, and having the privilege of calling him my mate.Don't get me wrong, it's not like I adored the fact that Keiran and I were mated, hell no.I was still skeptical about how the hell that was ever going to work out.If anything, I had to be mated to the most vicious, ruthless, destructive and among many names, monster whose name was possibly banned from b

Chapter: Injured The Exiled AlphaLilith's POVThe tension that was in the room immediately vaporized as I stared at Kieran, standing in front of me with his shirt wide open.I was looking at his chest, and at least half of it looked like it had been burnt as there was a huge black mark that covered somewhere around the diaphragm to his collarbone.It wasn't just a huge black burn mark. On the sides, there looked to be streaks of what resembled lighting stretching to his back and down to his stomach.In short, as the burn mark faded from the edges, there were other marks that I could best describe that looked like someone had taken a picture of his veins, put them in black and white and traced then across his body.Some were so long that they even went to his back, and others over his collarbone to around his neck.'That is why he wore something loose.' I said to myself, looking at the marks that covered his body.I was shocked at how fresh the marks looked, and even
