Katty?” Her voice comes through the line. “I’ve got some news.”I close my eyes, unable to answer, holding my breath.I hope the dream I had was just that, a nightmare.“Hello? Katty?” she calls. “You there?”“Yes… I’m here. I’m just…” I rub my eyes. “Cassandra, the next thing you say could either destroy me… or save me.”“Oh, Katty… Alpha Zane is still alive,” she reveals.I release a breath.“Thank God!” I let out a shaky chuckle. “I thought he was d…” I stop myself. “Thank you so much for telling me, Cassandra.”“Of course. I told you I would. But…”Christ. There’s a but?“What is it now?” My panic spikes.“He’s not out of the woods yet. He’s still unconscious. No one knows when or if… he’ll wake up.” She releases it bit by bit, careful with her words. “He’s healing properly, but he’s just not waking. I’m sorry, Katty.”“No… it’s okay. He’s alive, and that’s all that m

Chapter: CHAPTER 127: DON’T COME BACK Katarina“What’s taking so long?” Professor Ethan appears, striding toward us in haste.“We’re ready. What do we do?” Cyprian asks.“The three of you, nothing. Once she leaves, her friends will be the first suspects. I’ll get her out.”“With all due respect, Alpha Ethan, we can’t just do nothing,” Cassandra says.Professor Ethan’s gaze softens on her. “Your presence will be a cover for Katarina. They’ll believe she’s still here. It wouldn’t be the first time you’ve covered for a friend in the middle of chaos, would it?” He gives her a knowing look.Wait… does he know about Dad’s escape?Cassandra nods, almost dazed by the way he looks at her.“Stay put, all of you. Katarina, come with me.” Alpha Ethan takes my hand, and in a flash we’re outside the hospital. We get into his car, and he drives off.We park a short distance from my house.“Thank you for helping me.” My eyes dart from the house to Alpha Ethan.“What exactly happened, Katarina?” He fixes me with a hard look. “Don’t lie t

Chapter: CHAPTER 126: MY ONLY CHANCE Katarina My friends hug me, pulling me up as if their arms could keep me from breaking apart.I feel too devastated to think about the consequences of my betrayal. Right now, all I want is for Zane to be okay.“I guess this is goodbye.” Bex sighs in her usual sassy way, and we all turn to her.Her gaze shifts between us. “Why are you all staring at me like you don’t know what I mean?” she snaps.“No, we don’t.” Cyprian shrugs. “Care to explain, Bex?”She blows out a long breath. “Zane has been the only thing keeping Katarina alive.” She waves her hand. “Now that he’s in limbo and it’s all her fault… she’s toast.”My body tenses.“Bex!” Cassandra scolds. “That was harsh.”“She’s not wrong,” Cyprian admits reluctantly, his brows knitting. “We were just too afraid to say it. There’s nothing stopping the wolf council from killing you now. And if Alpha Zane dies…”“There’s no way I’ll survive,” I finish for him.I get it. My fate is sealed. They’ll kill me, and maybe I deserve it.“Fine.

Chapter: CHAPTER 125: MY WORLD STOPS Katarina His eyes blaze with rage. Whatever softness I was garnering is gone.Francis notices the friction between Zane and me.“That’s right. Katarina is my fiancée.” He forces a kiss on my cheek as Zane looks away in jealousy.“And this was the plan all along.” Francis laughs. “She’ll fool you enough to deliver you to us. Then, we’ll kill you.”Francis holds me tighter. “And Katarina and I will get married and be off to some island for our honeymoon,” he incites, as Zane’s gaze shifts from me to him.And I think Zane is falling into it.He pushes his body with enormous force, trying to break through the chains as he roars.They all step back, afraid he might just go free.Zane pushes even harder.And my heart leaps in joy.He’s going to do it. Break the chains and free himself.My mate is incredible. My heart jumps with anticipation.“You can do it, Zane,” I yell, infuriating Dad and the other wolf hunters.“Kris, help him,” I mutter through our mind link. And Zane pulls even mor

Chapter: CHAPTER 124: BETRAYING MY MATE Katarina My heart hammers inside my chest.“God!” The word falls from my lips more like a prayer that’ll stop them from attacking Zane.I let my anger go too far. This is my fault.Zane didn’t see this coming. He never expected me to set him up.I broke his trust. God, I hate myself right now. I was just so consumed by anger and jealousy, I didn’t realize I was making it all worse.“Well done, Katarina.” Dad laughs devilishly. “Didn’t I tell you she would deliver?” He boasts with pride. “Katarina is loyal to us.” He tilts his head like he’s talking to people.And my gaze follows his.I gasp.It’s Jeremy and Francis.“Yes. You’re right,” Jeremy’s smile is both victorious and vicious.I tense.My eyes dart to Zane, swelling with tears as I beg him to hear me out instead of them. “Let me explain, Zane. Please.”“Katarina.” Zane’s eyes lock on me in pure disbelief, stunned. “What’s going on?”I open my mouth to answer, but before I can, a deafening sound explodes around us.A gunshot.

Chapter: CHAPTER 123: TOO LATE: GETTING BACK AT HIM Katarina “Hey, my love. I thought I heard you in the study.” His eyes probe me. He’s probably trying to figure out if I heard his call with Magdalena.I try to breathe evenly before he senses how uneasy I am. “Uh-uh. No. I’ve been here the whole time,” I lie, forcing a straight face.I’m not sure if he believes me or not. He just keeps staring.“Everything okay with your call?” He glances at the phone in my hand, then back to my face.“Yes,” I nod, forcing a smile. I don’t want him to grow suspicious from how nervous I am.“Okay.” He still stares deep into my eyes as his arms wrap around me. “I love you so much, Katarina.”What is this?Guilt? His desperate attempt to make up for cheating on me?My eyes search his face like it could somehow tell me the truth. But right in this moment, in his arms, I feel myself begin to melt.Does he mean it? Does he really love me, or is he lying again?I don’t know anymore. But his eyes, they look like they mean it.“I love you too, Zane.”He kisse

His eyes lit up like he was genuinely happy. If I didn’t know him better, I might’ve believed he missed Justin. “I missed you, son.”He pulled Justin into a hug. Justin held him tight, his head resting against Gilbert’s chest. I looked away.“Dad, when did you get back?” Justin looked at his father like he was seeing something he thought he’d lost.Jealousy bloomed low in my gut, unwelcome. A thought I didn’t want to think. Maybe my kids loved their father more than they loved me.“Last night,” Gilbert answered as he glanced my way. “And I wish your mother was as welcoming as you both.”Justin’s head whipped between us. “What do you mean?” “She made me sleep on the hard couch,” Gilbert shook his head, a sad smile tugging at his lips. “She’s mad at me. And I don’t blame her. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have stayed too long away from home.”He was pretend

I felt like I couldn’t breathe.The doorbell rang again. I opened it—and it was really him.Gilbert.He still had that wide smile on his face.“Quit the games, honey. I’m back.”What? The audacity of him.He pushed me aside with one hand and walked in, looking around like he owned the place. And yes, maybe it was his house once. But he lost that right the moment he tried to gamble it away—and hit me for trying to stop him. If I had let him, he wouldn’t even have a home to come back to.“Justin and Olivia, where are they? Where are my kids?” he asked, like he still had control over us.I swallowed hard. “They should be upstairs. In bed,” I said, folding my arms.“What are you doing here, Gilbert?”He looked back at me. “What kind of stupid question is that, Julia? This is my home.”He chuckled like he was joking—but I caught the meanness in h

Chapter: CHAPTER 63: THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED JuliaI ignored his calls all day yesterday. And again this morning. Each time his name lit up my phone, I pressed the side button and silenced it. I couldn’t stand to hear his voice. Not after seeing him with her. She had her arms wrapped around him—so cozy, like he was her boyfriend. She looked perfect beside him. And I hated how much it hurt. I hated that I cared. But God, I did. Another call came through. This time, my office line.I sighed and picked up. “Hello?”There was silence. And then… “Julia,” his deep voice called my name. And I froze. My heart stuttered, my fingers suddenly became weak.“Can we talk?” he added, his voice making me tremble. I almost caved and said yes. I slammed the phone down. I can’t. Not now. Not when I still felt this angry and betrayed.Minutes later, Lydia walked in with a file. “New client,” she dropped it on my table. “The CEO asked me to give this to you. The client…She’s expecting you this evening. Everything you need is in the folder.”I opene

Julia.She walked toward me, looking nervous. She showed up. Just like she’d promised, she stood a little behind me, off to the side. I let out a half-smile and turned my attention back to the journalists.“Mr. King,” one of them called out, “who is this woman to you?”I froze, just for a second. Julia tensed beside me, her eyes wide with panic.A part of me wanted to say it—that she was my woman, that we were together, that I trusted her more than anyone. But this wasn’t the time. This press conference wasn’t about us. It was about King Global—about leadership, legacy, and control. The board was watching. Investors were watching. I couldn’t risk it—not now. I spotted Langley. His expression told me he wasn’t happy Julia was standing beside me. And just like that—I had my opportunity.“Langley,” I said, turning to him, “could you join us

She looked ruined—messy and still so beautiful.I kissed my way back up her body, stopping at her full breasts. They rose beneath me. I took one in my mouth and suckled, hearing her gasp. Her hands were on my back again. I moved to the other breast, my tongue teasing her nipple. I moaned against her as she whimpered. I could feel her heart pounding through her skin.“Michael, make love to me… please,” she whispered, dazed.I pulled off my shorts and pushed her legs open, locking my eyes with hers. Her hands fixed on my waist, her thighs wrapped around me again as I entered her.“Yes,” she moaned, a loud sound tearing from her throat. Her hands flew to my back, grabbing, clawing.My hands gripped her hips as I moved inside her. She felt so good—there was nothing sweeter than her. My face dropped to her neck, grunting as she squeezed me, meeting every thrust with her own, her legs l

Chapter: CHAPTER 60: FIRST NIGHT SLEEPING OVER MichaelI returned home. It was past 11 p.m., and I was anxious to see Julia. I wasn’t sure if she’d stayed… or if she’d left.I stepped out of the backseat, restless. I hastened my footsteps, impatient, as I walked straight into the house.“Good night, Adam,” I muttered to my driver as he set the shopping bags down in the living room. It was quiet.I walked into the second living room—the same place we’d been before I left. The lights were off. My chest sank. She left.I switched on the light. And there she was. Her slender frame peacefully sleeping on the sofa. Her arms were tucked under her body, knees pulled close to her chest to make herself comfortable.A smile broke across my face. She stayed.I walked over, bent down, and picked her up. She didn’t wake up—only sighed a little in her sleep, her head falling lightly against my chest.I took her upstairs and laid her on my bed, her head sinking into the pillow. I pulled the covers over her, brushing a few strands of hair away fro

I don’t think you should drive like this—you’re upset.”My words fell on deaf ears as he got into his car and sped off. I pulled a chunk of hair away from my face, feeling upset. How could he just leave like that? Maybe it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have mentioned Simon. I should have met Tom for lunch at work and come straight home afterward. I messed up. I can’t really blame him.I turned around to head back inside and saw Lizzy. She looked at me with judgmental eyes, like I’d done something wrong. She had caught Simon and me kissing in the garden, and now she must think I’m a bad wife, cheating on Tom with his brother.“Are you okay, Mrs. Lily?” she managed to ask, looking at me with concern.“I’ll be fine, Lizzy,” I muttered as I rushed back in

Chapter: CHAPTER 84: FIGHTING ABOUT SIMONLily “Tom,” I stammered, unsure of how to explain. I wasn’t sure if Thomas was going to believe anything I said, but I had to try.“With Simon, I presume,” Thomas spat, barely containing his rage. He was furious. The thought of Simon and me together clearly irked him. Maybe it was jealousy, or the fact that a part of him knew Simon and I had something beyond a normal friendship.“Yes. We worked together,” I replied, trying to stay calm, though his anger made it hard to breathe.He moved closer, his eyes locked on mine, filled with an intensity that made my stomach twist in fear. “Didn’t I tell you not to work with Simon?” he repeated, his voice rising.“I know you did,” I began, my voice shaky. “But I told you, I couldn’t just not show up. I need to speak to Geoffrey first.”“Then what are you waiting for?” he shouted, slamming the bathroom door behind me. I flinched, my body reacting to the sudden noise. My heart pounded in my chest.He stepped closer, pointing a finger at me. “Lily

Before I could even say hello, Thomas’s voice blared through the speaker. “I don’t care what the hell you’re doing, I want you home now!” The call abruptly ended, leaving me staring at my phone in shock.For a few seconds, I was stunned. I hadn’t expected that reaction. My heart raced, not from fear of him, but from the relief that he wasn’t here. If Tom had found Simon and me having dinner together, especially after I refused to go home with him, it would have been a disaster. I exhaled slowly, thankful I didn’t have to face that mess. But now I had another problem—Simon’s eyes were locked on me.“What did he say?” Simon asked, curious.“He wants me home,” I muttered, pushing my chair back, ready to leave.“Wait.” Simon reached for my hand, and when his fingers wrapped around mine, a spark shot through me. I froze, my hand still under his warm grasp. I

I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was pushing my buttons on purpose, though I didn’t have the energy to figure out why.“Look, Simon, I’m already having a pretty bad day. Please don’t make it any worse,” I continued, exhaling deeply.My hands tightened around the paper in front of me. I braced myself for a sarcastic response or some come back, but instead, he just returned to his work, ignoring the tension. Maybe that was for the best. I wasn’t in the mood for an argument, even though I felt like I could bite his head off. He’s probably number two on my list of enemies, with Jessica holding the permanent top spot. I forced myself to concentrate again. Then, my phone beeped, pulling my attention away from the file. I glance

Typical of Jessica, always giving me those condescending smiles and asking pointed questions about my marriage to Thomas, as if daring me to admit how miserable I was. It was exhausting. I felt trapped in a life I couldn’t escape.I rolled my eyes, refusing to let her words get under my skin. She always had a way of making me feel like I didn’t belong, like I was an outsider in my own marriage. But I wasn’t about to give her the satisfaction of seeing me rattled. Not today.I slid into the backseat of the car, slamming the door shut behind me, and glanced out the window as we pulled away. Jessica stood there for a moment longer, watching the car disappear down the road.

It was simple but elegant, the kind of dress I felt comfortable in. But of course, I was certain that It wouldn’t be good enough for Thomas.“I expect you to tell Simon today that you won’t be working with him,” he said, his tone intimidating as he paced across the room.“I have to inform Geoffrey first,” I replied calmly, knowing this conversation would go nowhere good. “I can’t just quit without speaking to him. He might feel disrespected if I stopped without saying anything.”Thomas scoffed, his eyes narrowing as they fell on the black dress. He crossed the room in a few long strides, eyeing the fabric like it offended him. “Wear a bright color.”I tensed, my fingers gripping the sides of the dressing table. “Thomas, this is what I want to wear. It’s fine.”His eyes flashed with irritation. “You should wear this instead,” he said, pulling out a bright red
