Chapter: TOGETHER FOREVERChapter 130TOGETHER FOREVERELENAThe first light of dawn crept softly into the bedroom, casting a gentle glow over everything it touched. The world outside was waking up, but inside our new home, there was a peaceful stillness — a quiet promise that this was only the beginning.I lay beside Ryan, my fingers tracing lazy patterns on his chest. His steady heartbeat beneath my palm was a comforting rhythm, a reminder that after all the chaos, the pain, and the uncertainty, we were here — safe, together, and free.“Good morning,” he whispered, his voice thick with sleep and something deeper — something I could feel in the warmth of his eyes.“Good morning,” I murmured back, my voice soft and full.He smiled, brushing his fingers gently through my hair. “I still can’t believe this is real.”“Neither can I,” I admitted, my heart swelling with a happiness I hadn’t dared hope for.We had fought for this. Every battle, every tear, every sleepless night had led to this moment — to a life we c

Chapter: A NEW CHAPTER BEGINSChapter 129A NEW CHAPTER BEGINSELENAThe morning sun spilled gently through the bedroom curtains, painting soft streaks of gold across the walls. For the first time in what felt like forever, I woke without the heavy weight of anxiety crushing my chest. There was a quiet calm, the kind that feels like the eye of a storm — a fragile peace earned after months of fighting, of clawing through shadows and lies.I turned to find Ryan already awake. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed casually in a simple gray shirt and jeans, his dark hair tousled from sleep. His gaze was fixed on me, warm and steady, full of the quiet certainty that made me believe in us, in this life we were starting to build.“Good morning,” I murmured, my voice still thick with sleep.He smiled, that slow, easy smile that always made my heart race. “Good morning, Elena. You look beautiful.”I blinked, caught off guard by the tenderness in his voice. “You’re lucky I’m still half asleep.”He laughed softly an

Chapter: QUIET VICTORY LOUD HEARTSChapter 128QUIET VICTORY, LOUD HEARTSELENAThe world outside was still buzzing with news and whispers, but inside Ryan’s apartment, time slowed. It was just us—no cameras, no accusations, no judgment. Just the two of us, finally able to breathe without the weight of the past crushing down.Ryan had insisted we celebrate quietly, away from the prying eyes and flashing cameras. “This victory is ours,” he said, “and I want it to feel like a win for us, not just a headline.”I hadn’t realized how much I needed that until I walked through his door. The scent of fresh flowers mingled with the soft flicker of candlelight, casting a warm glow across the room. A simple meal was laid out on the table, but the true feast was the look in Ryan’s eyes—steady, proud, and utterly devoted.I closed the door behind me and let the moment wash over me. After everything—the betrayals, the courtroom battles, the nights spent wondering if justice would ever come—I felt something I hadn’t felt in months: p

Chapter: REDEMPTION QUIET DAWNChapter 127REDEMPTION QUIET DAWNELENAI sat alone in the small, stark waiting room, the hum of the air conditioning a low drone beneath the chaos spinning in my mind. Outside, the courthouse buzzed with life—people milling about, voices rising and falling like waves—but inside, I was trapped in a cocoon of silence and waiting.The last few weeks had been a whirlwind. Accusations, betrayals, court filings, and public scrutiny had wrapped around me like a suffocating shroud. Every news headline, every whisper, every sideways glance had cut deeper than I wanted to admit.But now, the hearing was over. The truth was out. And soon, the final verdict would be read.I clenched my fists, trying to steady the tremble in my hands. It felt surreal. So many times, I’d imagined this moment—standing in that courtroom, vindicated, free from the chains of lies and deceit. But now that it was here, the fear of disappointment gripped me tighter than hope.What if they didn’t believe me?What if Jason

Chapter: THE COURT ROOM RECKONINGChapter 126THE COURT ROOM RECKONINGELENA,The morning of the hearing arrived, gray and heavy with rain. I woke up feeling like the weight of the world was pressing down on my chest — the kind of weight that makes it hard to breathe but impossible to ignore. This hearing wasn’t just a formality anymore; it was everything. The chance to expose Emily and Jason’s lies, to finally clear my name and take back my life. But the fear? It still gripped me, stubborn and cold.Ryan sat next to me at the kitchen table, looking calm — almost too calm. His fingers idly traced circles on the back of his hand, and I could tell his mind was racing beneath that composed exterior. I reached out, letting my fingers brush his. “You ready for this?” I whispered.He looked at me then, really looked, and smiled softly. “As ready as I’ll ever be. We’re going to win. Together.”His confidence was the only thing keeping me grounded, the anchor in the storm. I squeezed his hand back and swallowed the lump risin

Chapter: FALLING APARTChapter 125FALLING APARTELENAI woke up that morning with a fragile hope I hadn’t felt in a long time. After months of crawling through this nightmare, dodging lies, and chasing down scraps of truth, Ryan and I finally had something real to hold on to. The kind of hope that makes you think maybe, just maybe, the nightmare is ending.But hope is a tricky thing—fragile and easily shattered. And that morning, it came crashing down faster than I could catch my breath.My phone buzzed with a message from Ryan: Meet me at the office. Urgent.My heart sank. “Urgent” was never good news when it came from him.I threw on the first clothes I could find—old jeans and a hoodie that smelled faintly like him—and rushed out the door. The city was still waking up, but my mind was already racing ahead, spinning with worst-case scenarios. I kept telling myself, Maybe it’s not bad. Maybe it’s just something small.When I stepped into Ryan’s office, he was pacing, a file clutched tightly in his hands.

Abandoned by my ex, Reclaimed by his boss
Liana Hart gave everything to her marriage—her youth, her heart, and ultimately, her child. But when she went into labor, her husband Damien Cross walked out, choosing his career over their growing family.

Four years later, Damien returns with a glamorous fiancée and an eye on the daughter he left behind. Desperate and cornered, Liana accepts an offer from Ethan Wolfe, Damien’s enigmatic billionaire boss: a marriage of convenience in exchange for protection, power—and the resources to fight for her daughter.

Chapter: Chapter Twenty- EightChapter Twenty - EightLIANADinner was quiet that night. Too quiet.No one said much—not even Emma, and she always had something to say. The clatter of silverware on plates was the loudest sound in the room. Every time someone spoke, their voice felt too loud, too forced, like it didn’t quite belong. I kept my eyes on my food and tried not to look at Ethan. I could feel his gaze flick toward me once or twice, but I didn’t meet it.I wasn’t ready for that.We all went to bed early. At least, everyone else did. I lay in the dark for hours, staring at the ceiling, my body still but my mind anything but. I kept replaying everything—those pictures, that man’s face in the background, the way I’d snapped at Ethan even when he’d done nothing but try to protect us.I wanted to blame someone. And he was right there, offering solutions, taking control—being calm when I wasn’t. So I lashed out. Not because he deserved it, but because I didn’t know where else to aim the fear.I got up around two

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-SevenChapter Twenty -SevenLIANAThe moment Mrs. Alden left my room, I stood up, my spine straightening as cold determination flooded my chest. Enough was enough. I couldn’t sit here, suffocating beneath the weight of everyone else’s decisions, pretending like I didn’t feel the walls of this house closing in. I wouldn’t let it become a cage. And I sure as hell wouldn’t let Ethan Wolfe decide what was best for my daughter without involving me. Not again.I grabbed my bag off the chair, shoved my phone into the side pocket, slipped on a pair of flats, and looped my scarf around my neck with jerky, determined movements.As I stepped into the hallway, the silence of the house pressed in around me. But this time, I wasn’t afraid of it. I welcomed the quiet—it gave weight to my footsteps as I descended the stairs, each step echoing sharply against the polished marble. There was no hesitation in my stride, no pause to reconsider.The driver was still waiting outside, standing rigid near the black

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-SixChapter Twenty-SixLIANAThe house was too quiet for a place preparing for a wedding.I sat at the edge of the cream velvet chaise in the dressing room, surrounded by fabric swatches, scattered jewelry cases, and half-finished to-do lists written in my own hurried handwriting. My wedding was just one week away. The gown fitting was in two hours. The caterers needed final confirmations. Invitations had gone out. Everything was set.But I couldn’t bring myself to feel even a flicker of joy.I was marrying Ethan Wolfe.The Ethan Wolfe incapable of love. Stiff and rigid. Not because I loved him. But because he’d made himself impossible to refuse. Powerful, calculating, and relentless—he didn’t ask. He decided. And I had to do it for my daughter.I reached for a sample veil draped on a nearby chair, trying to find calm in the soft fabric, but my phone buzzed on the tabletop. The screen lit up with a sharp, sudden notification.“Emma Hart has been successfully withdrawn from Halton Preparat

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-five Chapter Twenty-Five DAMIAN The message arrived just after sunrise, slicing through the quiet of morning with cold finality. You’re expected in by 9. No more leave extensions. — E.W. No greeting. No signature beyond the initials I knew too well. Just Ethan Wolfe’s voice through the screen—clinical, sharp, and unmistakably controlling. I stared at the words for longer than necessary, not because I was caught off guard, but because I recognized the precision behind the timing. Ethan never did anything by chance. He’d let me have my silence, my temporary exile, but now—he was calling me back. Not because I was ready, but because he was. Behind me, the soft rustle of movement broke the silence. Audrey entered the room, her presence a quiet comfort I didn’t yet deserve. A plush robe hung from her shoulders, loosely knotted, and she carried a steaming mug of coffee in both hands. She paused by the dresser, gaze settling on me. She didn’t need to ask. Her eyes flicked to the phone

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-fourChapter Twenty- fourDAMIANThe final strike of the gavel echoed like a gunshot, sealing my fate in a room that suddenly felt too small for the storm building inside me. I didn’t flinch. I didn’t blink. I just stood there, staring straight ahead, my jaw locked so tight it ached. The judge’s voice still rang in my ears, flat and resolute, delivering a verdict that stripped me of more than just legal ground—it gutted what was left of my pride.I heard the rustle of papers. Chairs scraping back. A murmur swelling as people rose to leave. But I remained rooted. Outside, the hallway was a frenzy—reporters shouting, cameras flashing, pens scribbling lies before ink even hit the page. None of that mattered. What did was the image of Liana walking past me with Ethan Stone at her side, his arm protective around her like he was some goddamn knight in shining armor.My throat tightened. It should have been me.Ethan’s eyes flicked in my direction—cold, unreadable—and then they moved on, like I w

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-ThreeChapter Twenty-ThreeLIANAThe click of the front door unlocking jolted me out of the haze I’d been drowning in for the past hour.I was curled up on the far end of Ethan’s leather sectional, arms wrapped around a pillow like it could shield me from everything spiraling out of control. A book lay open in my lap, unread. I hadn’t turned a page in over an hour. The only light came from the low amber glow of the lamp beside me and the glittering skyline stretching beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. Manhattan sparkled, alive and detached, while the air inside the penthouse was thick with the kind of silence that waits for a storm.Ethan stepped in, his presence commanding even without a word. His tie was already loosened, the top two buttons of his dress shirt undone, sleeves rolled to his forearms. He looked tired, but not in the usual way. This wasn’t the fatigue of a long day at work—it was the weariness of fighting a battle behind closed doors.“You’re back late,” I said, rising slo

MATED TO THE ALPHA HEIR
Xander Sinclair, the rebellious heir to the Crescent Moon Pack, has spent his life resisting the weight of his birthright. But his formidable grandmother, Luna Susanne, has other plans. She issues an ultimatum—choose a mate within six months or be stripped of his claim to the pack.
Determined to defy her, Xander makes the most scandalous choice possible: Amara Donald, a rogue werewolf his estranged stepbrother, Derek, cast aside years ago. It is the perfect act of rebellion—binding himself to a woman hated by the very pack that seeks to control him.
But Amara has her own reasons for accepting. Once the heir to a powerful bloodline, her family was destroyed by the Sinclairs. Now, she has a chance to reclaim what was stolen from her.
What begins as a battle of dominance soon turns into something far more dangerous—an uncontrollable bond, ancient rivalries reigniting, and a force threatening to tear the Crescent Moon Pack apart.
As the full moon rises and dark truths come to light, Xander and Amara must decide—are they destined for love, or will their union bring war?

Chapter: No longer AloneChapter 51: No longer AloneAmaraThe flames still crackled behind me, their heat licking at my raw, blistered skin, but I didn’t flinch. I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction. The Elders had bowed. The warriors had lowered their heads. The fire had accepted me. And yet, none of that mattered as much as the emptiness blooming in my chest.They had seen what they needed to see—a Luna forged in agony. But I wasn’t thinking about ceremony or power or acceptance. I was thinking about the searing pain pulsing through every nerve, the tremble I refused to let show, and the eyes I felt watching me from the shadows beyond the ceremonial circle.Xander.He was there before I even called for him.Strong arms wrapped around me, careful not to touch the scorched skin of my legs. His scent hit me—earth, cedar, storm. Familiar. Safe. He lifted me like I weighed nothing, as if I weren’t the woman who had just walked through fire to prove herself worthy.

Chapter: The Fire Beneath the CrownChapter 50: The Fire Beneath the CrownAmara,The council chamber reeked of old smoke and older blood. It clung to the stone walls like a ghost of wars long past. A wide circle of jagged granite surrounded the sunken pit in the center—a relic from the days when Alphas fought with claw and fang beneath the moonlight, when titles were earned not by politics but by combat.Now, that pit bore no fresh blood. Only words were flung here, but make no mistake—the wounds cut just as deep.I stood alone on the upper platform, spine straight, shoulders squared, hands relaxed at my sides. Not clenched. Not trembling. Not submissive.Not afraid.They hadn’t expected me to come. I saw it in their eyes, felt it in the uneasy glances cast between their robes. They expected I would cower behind Xander’s title, let him speak for me, hide in the shadow of his power like some fragile decoration unworthy of the crown.They thought the Luna was still that broken girl—rejected, cast out, crawling through th

Chapter: The Weight of wantChapter 49 Amara – The Weight of Want The moonlight poured through the high windows like a silent witness, casting ghostly patterns across the stone floor of the Luna’s chamber. Shadows shifted, long and reaching, echoing the unrest in my soul. The fire in the hearth remained unlit. I didn’t need it tonight. The cold had become a strange sort of comfort—a punishment, maybe. Or a reminder that the warmth I truly craved wasn’t something flames could offer. It came from him. From Xander. I stood at the window, fingers curled around the heavy velvet curtain, staring down at the empty training grounds. Hours ago, they were filled with the sounds of battle cries, steel meeting steel, the dull thud of fists against flesh. Now, silence reigned. But I still saw him there, moving like the storm that carved mountains, like a beast born from fury and discipline. Relentless. Unyielding. Terrifyingly beautiful. Alpha. And, by every contract inked in blood and ambition—mine. A chill c

Chapter: The WinChapter 48: The Win XANDER I waited in the far corner of the war room, where shadows stretched long beneath the ancient beams and the air still smelled of iron and ash. The others had long since left—Elders, warriors, advisors—all filing out after the meeting concluded. Now it was just me, the dying fire, and the heavy silence that seemed to press against my spine like a blade. I didn’t sit. I couldn't. My muscles were too tight, too wired. The wolf inside me stirred, restless, agitated by the storm I knew was coming. The creak of the door behind me sliced through the silence. I didn’t need to turn. I knew who it was. Derek. His scent reached me before his footsteps did—bitter, tense, tinged with the unmistakable undertone of regret. A scent I never thought I’d associate with my brother. He was the golden heir, the chosen one. Regret didn’t fit him—until now. He didn’t speak as he stepped fully into the room. The click of the door shutting echoed like a warning. Still

Scars ran across my skin like old stories, but none of them hurt like this.I paced the length of my room, each step landing hard on the cold marble floor. The space felt smaller than usual, suffocating, as if the walls themselves were ashamed to witness my humiliation. Every breath I took came out sharp, heavy, like I was choking on the air that had once belonged to a victor. My fists opened and closed at my sides, aching for release—anything to take the edge off the frustration building beneath my skin like wildfire.But nothing helped. Nothing could fix what had happened out there. Nothing could undo the moment I looked into her eyes and knew—I’d lost.Amara.The woman fate gave me and I turned away.My fated mate.My mistake.My downfall.She hadn’t just bested me in combat.

The stone walls of the Hall of Triumph caught and amplified the remnants of their cheers, twisting them into something almost sacred. I walked with purpose, my chin held high, the dust of the battlefield still clinging to my skin. Every step felt like a reclamation of power—my power. And for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel like a survivor.I felt like a victor.I had faced the council. I had faced Derek. I had faced the ghosts of every moment I had been silenced, doubted, belittled—and I had conquered them. The weight of centuries of tradition hadn’t crushed me. I had broken it beneath my feet.Xander was at my side, his gaze proud and unwavering. He hadn’t said much since we left the arena, but his silence spoke volumes. His presence alone was grounding.
