Chapter: Chapter Twenty “Is my money ready?” The kidnapper asked Edward.“Your money is ready,” Edward said.“I will send you the address where you will bring the money. I am sure I don't need to remind you to come alone,” The kidnapper informed.“Alright,” Edward acknowledged.“I hope the money is complete. Let me remind you once again, I am not someone you can try funny business with,” The kidnapper warned.“Your money is complete, I just want my daughter, please,” Edward pleaded.“That depends on how much you cooperate with us,” The kidnapper said and ended the call.“Were you able to track the location he is calling from?” Fred asked one of his guys who was a tracker.“No boss, I tried to but the signal was not very clear,” The guy explained.“He has sent the address where I will drop the money,” Edward informed.“Your daughter might not likely be in that location but we will follow you there and be on the lookout for who will come and pick up the money then we can trace them back to the location where t

Chapter: Chapter Nineteen Fred puffed out the smoke from the pipe in his mouth as a bouncer whispered something in his ears.“Let them in,” Fred said.The bouncer went to open the door to the VIP section and led Edward and Tyler into the room.“Good evening, I am from Pete,” Edward said.“Yeah, he called me to inform me he is sending some guys my way,” Fred said, smoke coming out from his mouth and nose.Fred gestured to Edward to sit down, and Edward took his seat in the chair opposite Fred while Tyler stood beside Edward.“I learned you have some dope to sell?” Fred asked.“Yes,” Edward replied.“How much is it worth?” Fred asked.“About three million dollars,” Edward said.“That's quite a huge amount of money,” Fred exclaimed.“Yes, I am in urgent need of some money,” Edward said.“Hmm, I see. Where did you get such a huge amount of dope from?” Fred inquired.“Are you buying or not?” Tyler said, getting frustrated at Fred's questions.Fred's bodyguard removed his gun from his pocket, cocked it, and pointed

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen "Why would he do something like that?" Edward shouted into the phone, his expression stern as he engaged in a phone call.He ended the call and slammed the phone on the table.“Is everything alright boss?” Tyler asked.“Tom called to inform me George said he is no longer interested in doing business with us,” Edward informed.“What? Why? What could be the reason?” Tyler asked.“I don't know, something about him getting a better offer from somewhere else,” Edward explained.“What will happen to our hemp? We need to sell them asap. We have until tomorrow afternoon to pay Anna's ransom” Tyler said. Edward banged his fist on the table in frustration. He had harvested almost all the hemp he was secretly growing on his farm so he could sell it and raise the ransom for Anna as he didn't have up to such a huge amount of money demanded by the kidnapper in his account.“I suggest you place a call to George yourself,” Tyler suggested.Edward angrily searched for George's number on his phone, di

Chapter: Chapter Seventeen “How could you not know where Anna is? Are you not her husband?” Edward shouted at Alpha Max.“You are not listening to me. She told me two days ago that she was going to Narvik town. I tried to ask why she was going there and what was happening there but she told me to mind my business that she wasn't a kid,” Alpha Max snapped back.“You haven't seen Anna for two days and you didn't bother to let me know?” Edward asked.“She told me not to tell you about her whereabouts,” Alpha Max replied.“Shut up, Max, stop spewing out nonsense from your mouth and tell me where you kept my daughter,” Edward demanded in a rage.“Have you tried to call her?” Beta Drake chipped in.“Her number had been switched off since the day she left,” Alpha Max calmly explained.“Can you hear what this bastard is saying? Her number has been switched off and you sat here unbothered, huh, is it because she is not your fated mate?” Edward inquired as he moved closer to Alpha Max and started shaking him vigorously.

Chapter: Chapter Sixteen “Hello, who is this?” Luna Anna said as she picked up a call from an unknown number.“Hello Anna,” a muffled voice replied on the other end.Luna Anna was surprised to hear the caller say her name. She checked the phone again to confirm it wasn't someone she knew.“Who is this please?” Luna Anna asked the second time, getting impatient.“I am calling to inform you that your bodyguard, Ben, is dead. I got your number from his phone,” the caller informed.“What?” Anna gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth in shock."Who killed him, and how did this happen?" Anna asked, her voice filled with concern.“Well, A guy helping the girl you sent him to kill” the caller revealed.“How did you know all of these?” Luna Anna questioned."I'm his friend. He contacted me, sent me a photo of a girl, and asked for help in tracking her. I did find her, but it turns out she is involved with a dangerous guy who killed Ben," the caller disclosed.Sweat beads formed on Anna's forehead as she str

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen “This can't be happening?” Rosana said to herself, her heart pounding in her chest as she stepped into the room. She buried her face in her hands, feeling her chest tighten as she replayed in her mind what had just happened with Nolan."He is so charming," Eva whispered softly. Rosana could sense a smile playing on her lips.“Tessy would kill me,” Rosana admitted.“Huh, that bitch,” Eva silently cussed out, expressing her dislike for Tessy.“How will I be able to face him after doing something so stupid?” Rosana said as the thought of facing Nolan again made her stomach churn with shame."Come on, Rosana, pull yourself together," Rosana muttered to herself, giving her cheeks a slight slap in an attempt to shake off the emotions stirring within her.Rosana almost jumped out of her skin as the door to her room flung open and Tessy came inside, her gaze intense and piercing.Rosana rose from the bed, nervously shifting from foot to foot as Tessy fixed her with a steady gaze.“I am sorry

Chapter: Chapter One-hundred and Fifty-oneThe day finally came and the Silvermoon Pack's square was transformed into a magnificent wedding venue, adorned with flowers of every shade. White roses and lavender scattered through the air, their sweet scent mingling with the fresh breeze. The pack gathered around, their faces glowing with excitement as they eagerly awaited the ceremony.Evelyn stood at the front, her delicate frame wrapped in an elegant white gown, her hair styled in loose waves, a subtle crown of silver roses perched atop her head. Beside her stood Tara, her best friend, radiant in a pale lavender dress, and Diana, who was equally stunning as Tara.Both women smiled proudly at Evelyn, their eyes brimming with joy and support.Across from them, Grayson stood tall in his dark suit, his gaze locked on Evelyn. His heart pounded with every beat, and every fiber of his being screamed that this was right. At his side stood Beta Luke, his best man, looking at him with pride.Elder Bernard stood before the couple, rea

Chapter: Chapter One-hundred and FiftyThe pack members trooped out in their numbers to welcome Evelyn back to the pack.Grayson stood beside Evelyn, his arm gently resting around her waist, guiding her forward. The moment they reached the center of the gathering, cheers erupted from the pack. Faces that had once been filled with uncertainty and hesitation now glowed with excitement and admiration.“Tara!” Evelyn called out, her voice bright with joy as she spotted her friend among the crowd. Tara rushed over, her arms wide open, and they embraced each other tightly.“I can’t believe you’re back!” Tara exclaimed, pulling away slightly to look Evelyn over, her eyes welling with tears. “We missed you so much.”Evelyn smiled, squeezing Tara’s hands. “I missed you too, Tara. It feels good to be home.”“I'm glad the truth finally came out, Evelyn. I knew there was no way you would do what you were accused of,” Tara said.“Thank you, Tara. Thank you for believing in me,” Evelyn said, smiling as she hugged her friend again.Ta

Chapter: Chapter One-hundred and Forty-NineThe night stretched on as Grayson, Nix, and Luke kept their vigil by the burnt remains of Jerry’s car. The fire had long since dwindled, leaving only smoldering embers and charred metal. None of them spoke much, the weight of the night’s events keeping them silent.As the first rays of dawn broke through the trees, Grayson exhaled deeply, his sharp gaze still fixed on the wreckage. “It’s over,” he said quietly, his voice laced with finality. “Jerry’s gone.”Nix stretched his arms, yawning. “I’ll admit, I didn’t think the bastard would ever meet his end. But seeing this… yeah, he’s not crawling out of that one.”Luke grinned, patting Grayson on the back. “Well done, Alpha. That was one hell of a chase. I’ll never doubt your driving skills again.”Grayson smirked, finally stepping away from the ashes. “Let’s get back. We’ve been out here long enough.”They walked back to the car, the adrenaline of the night fading into exhaustion. Grayson slid into the driver’s seat, Nix and Luke ho

Chapter: Chapter One-hundred and Forty-EightThe roar of an engine pierced through the forest as Jerry sped down the dirt path, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. His eyes darted to the rearview mirror, scanning the darkness for any signs of pursuit.The night was thick, cloaked in shadows, and the dim headlights of his car barely illuminated the uneven forest trail. His pulse raced. He thought he had escaped until the unmistakable hum of another engine reached his ears, faint but growing louder.“Damn it,” Jerry cursed under his breath, glancing at the mirror again.The faint gleam of headlights in the distance confirmed his fears. “Can this bastard drive?” He muttered to himself.He slammed his foot on the accelerator, the car jerking forward as it sped along the rugged path.In the car behind, Grayson’s hands were steady on the wheel, his sharp eyes cutting through the night like a predator stalking its prey. The trees blurred past as he maneuvered skillfully, avoiding rocks and low-hanging branches with ease.

Chapter: Chapter One-hundred and Forty-SevenThe chaotic roar of flames engulfed the camp as the hunters, determined to hold their ground, lit the perimeter on fire. Thick, choking smoke billowed into the air, a fiery orange glow illuminating the battlefield.Jerry barked orders amidst the chaos, his voice cold and commanding. “Hold the line! Don’t let the wolves take us down easily!”“We can’t let them escape!” Luke shouted, his voice cutting through the noise as he and his men charged forward.Hunters fired their weapons wildly, the sound of gunfire mingling with the guttural growls of wolves mid-shift. Nix’s warriors flanked the hunters, their speed and strength overpowering the disorganized defenses.In the chaos, Jerry’s sharp eyes caught sight of his car parked near the edge of the camp, half-hidden in the shadows of the surrounding trees. The faint glow of flames flickered against the vehicle's surface, and he clenched his jaw tightly, determination flashing in his gaze.“Time to live and fight another day,” he muttere

Chapter: Chapter One-hundred and Forty-SixShadows danced beneath the canopy as the afternoon sun slowly began its descent. Beta Luke led the group, his sharp eyes scanning the ground for any sign of movement or disturbance.Alpha Nix followed closely, his keen senses on high alert, with their men fanned out behind them.“Anything yet?” Nix asked, his voice steady but laced with urgency.“Not a damn thing,” one of the guards replied, frustration evident in his tone. “It’s like they vanished into thin air.”“They didn’t vanish,” Luke said sharply, crouching to inspect a patch of broken twigs. “They’re just good at covering their tracks. Keep looking. They can’t have gotten far.”Another guard called out from a few meters away. “Beta, over here! I think I’ve found something.”Luke and Nix moved quickly to the source of the voice. The guard was pointing to a faint trail of flattened grass leading deeper into the woods.“Looks like a footpath,” Luke muttered, crouching to get a closer look. He ran his fingers along the trampled g

Chapter: Chapter 13 - The Widow’s ThreatLorenzo adjusted his tie, his face sliding into its usual stoic mask as he strode out to meet Maria Caruso—Diego’s widow.“Finally, the traitor shows his face,” Maria spat the moment she saw him.“Traitor?” Lorenzo scoffed. “Your husband was the traitor, and you know it.”Maria’s eyes narrowed, fury flashing. “Do you have proof? Actual proof that Diego betrayed you? Show me. Right here, right now.”“We were attacked by your men yesterday. Who gave the order? And why?”“Our men didn’t attack you, Lorenzo,” Maria snapped. “You’ve been played. A trap was set—and you lunged into it like a fool. Now, you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.”She stepped closer, her voice lowering but hardening. “You mistook a friend for an enemy… and welcomed a real enemy into your circle. Why didn’t you speak to Diego yourself? Why resort to this?”She snapped her fingers.Two of her men entered, dragging something behind them. When they dropped it at Lorenzo’s feet, Isabella gasped.It was Diego’s decap

Chapter: Chapter 12: Left Behind“What’s going on?” she gasped, her breath coming in short, ragged bursts.“Mierda!” Matteo hissed, peering through a broken window. “Diego’s men. They’re here.”Elena’s heart slammed against her ribs. “Damn it… What do we do?”Matteo turned to her sharply, eyes blazing. “We run. Now.”He grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward the back exit just as Diego’s men stormed through the main entrance. Their faces twisted with fury as they saw Diego’s dead body lying on the floor.One of Diego’s men caught a glimpse of Elena’s hair as she ducked behind a crate.“Allí! (There)” he shouted, pointing. “Está allí!”The others snapped to attention, raising their weapons in unison.Gunfire erupted, bullets tearing through the crates in the warehouse as they stormed forward, firing relentlessly in her direction.“Should we call for help,” Elena gritted out, clutching her side as bullets punched through the crates.Matteo didn’t reply. He was scanning, calculating.“Go left. Follow the service tunne

Chapter: Chapter 11 - Crossing The Line“Why did you betray the DeLuca family?” Elena asked, her voice soft. “Did someone order you to do it?”Diego scoffed, a crooked smile tugging at his bloodied lips.“Who are you to interrogate me? Get Lorenzo in here. I’ll only talk to him.”Elena sighed. Stubbornness—it was always the same with mafia men. They wore it like a crown.“It would do you well to answer me now… while I’m still asking nicely,” she warned, her tone tightening.Diego let out a bitter laugh.“What are you going to do? Intimidate me with that sweet little voice? I see the fear in your eyes, niña. Go ahead—show me what you’ve got.”Elena tilted her head and smiled coldly.“You don’t know me, Diego. If only you did.”Without another word, she uncapped the bottle and poured the contents on his leg.Diego’s scream tore through the warehouse as the acid seared his flesh.“¡Maldito seas!

Chapter: Chapter 10 - The TestThe streets of Madrid were quiet, except for the hum of the engine as Matteo drove Elena through winding back alleys she didn’t recognize. The night breeze was blowing gently, and the city lights glowed like distant fireflies in the rearview mirror.Elena sat in silence, eyes flicking from the road to Matteo’s face. He hadn’t said a word since they left the Black Orchid. His jaw was clenched, his grip on the steering wheel tight.“Where are we going?” she finally asked, her voice calm, and steady.“To deliver a message,” Matteo replied without looking at her.“To who?”Matteo shot her a sharp look, his lips spreading into a half-smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “We’re delivering a message to the Caruso family who attacked us tonight and anyone else who thought they could attack the DeLuca family and get away with it.”“The Caruso family was the one who attacked us tonight!” Elena exclaimed, surprise coloring her tone.Matteo raised an eyebrow. “You know the Caruso family?”“I did m

That girl is new here—it’s her first night, for heaven’s sake!”Lorenzo turned slowly in his chair, the smoke from his cigar curling lazily in the air as he studied his sister with amused detachment. A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.“What’s the problem, Bella?” he asked coolly.Isabella’s eyes widened. “Did you not hear what I just said?”“I heard you,” Lorenzo said, exhaling smoke. “But I don’t see the problem. Elena needs to prove herself.”“You don’t see the problem?” Isabella snapped. “She just got here! She still needs training, and time to blend in. Matteo’s dragging her into something she’s not ready for.”“And how exactly do you propose she learns, if she’s not tested?” Lorenzo asked, arching a brow. “Or do you expect her to sit in the lounge and sip cocktails while the rest of us do the dirty work?”“Did you know about this?” Isabella demanded, arms

Chapter: Chapter 8 - MirrorsThe distant whir of sirens pierced the silence that followed the chaos. Red and blue lights painted the walls of the Black Orchid as the police arrived at the scene, armed and alert.But when they stepped inside, they found nothing.No bodies. No blood. No bullet casings.Just music humming softly in the background, a polished dance floor, and a few members chatting and sipping wine. Captain Reynolds stepped forward, eyeing the clubhouse. Matteo met him at the entrance with a charming grin and arms outstretched.“Captain,” Matteo greeted smoothly, “what a surprise.”“We received an anonymous call about gunfire and explosions coming from this location,” Captain Reynolds said, eyes scanning the room.“Gunfire?” Lorenzo appeared beside Matteo, dressed in a tailored black suit without a single wrinkle. Not a strand of his hair was out of place. “You must have received information about the wrong place, Captain. We’ve just been celebrating.”“Celebrating what?” Reynolds asked, unimpressed
