Chapter: chapter 178Chapter 178"It's the truth! What makes you believe I will let you rule the pack? Something I've spent my whole life dreaming of? I liked your father, and I was going to do the same with you!"A tear slipped down Henry's cheek as he watched his mom, realizing that the old lady had been leading him astray all along."Why? Why did you treat me this way? I've spent my entire life in sadness. You made me believe I must get the throne regardless of what it takes, so this was it? You are wicked, Mom; you don't deserve to live! You should die!" she yelled, grabbing the necklace around his neck."Please don't cut it; that's my life! If you cut it, then I'm going to get old. I'm way older than you all expected; this necklace has been the thing keeping me young. I'm way older than everyone here. I am old enough to give birth to the old alpha himself. Please don't do it—I’ve done lots of things to be able to achieve this because now I'm only steps away from achieving it. Please don't end me," sh

When the time comes, you will get hit really hard!" Darien chuckled.The old lady walked up to Alisha, who was standing not far from her. She tried holding Alisha's hands, but Alisha moved back, and boom, a favor appeared from nowhere and burned her hands. Everyone gasped."What just happened? It just came from Luna! Don't tell me the old lady was right; Luna practices black magic! Look at what she did to the woman; she burned her hand!" Alisha looked at her, but finding the right word to use, that never came from her."I didn't do it! She just came to touch me, and I moved ba

Chapter: chapter 176Chapter 176Writer's POV Emily, seeing everything was turning, began making fireballs with her hand, then proceeded to throw them at Alisha. Though she did it openly, none of them accepted it; Darien, Alisha, and Daniel saw it.Immediately she threw the fire, it ceased on the way; no matter how hard she tried, it still didn't work. Alisha, who was already anticipating the blow, quickly opened her eyes only to see that it was Daniel who was holding it with his eyes.They were shocked but still composed."This old lady here has been the one doing everything that's gone wrong in this pack. Why aren't you all worried about how she still manages to look young even after so many years? Don't you find it suspicious? She looked exactly like this before she died, and look at her today; nothing has changed. Do you think it's because she doesn't age like every other old person in this pack, or is there more to it?" "Don't just keep beating around the bush; tell us what you are trying to say."

I did what I did to save the throne from his lineage; so where did I go wrong?" She battered her lids."One thing I'm trying to get straight is why you've been quiet all these years. Why didn't you come back to lay this claim when he had no heir? Why are you back all of a sudden?" An elder questioned her."It's not that I didn't want to come back, but he threatened my son that he would get rid of her the very day he set foot in this castle.""Then again, why are you with this traitor? Isn't she supposed to be in prison? This can only mean you also have a hand in the supposed death of Luna," a maid said from the back. Though they weren't allowed to speak, at this point, everyone must speak out to prove them wrong."They have no hand in whatever happened to me.

Chapter: chapter 174Chapter 174. Writer's POV "Fortunately for me, my wife just died. She used to live with me in the small cottage behind the castle. I had no other way to bury her, so I placed her in the coffin and rescued the queen." "You expect us to believe such a cock-and-bull story? Oh come on; we aren’t kids. Remember, they opened the casket and who we saw was the queen. She was the one in the coffin, not your wife, so butt out!" an elder snapped at the old man. "That's because after I woke up, I made her wear a mask that has exactly my face. That's how everyone came to believe I was the one. I was never dead from the start. Now I'm back to make my son resume his original position because Darien here is not the son of the late Alpha. I have witnessed that." All eyes widened, including Darien's and Alisha's; they didn't see this coming. "What nonsense are you talking about? If we must talk about people who don't belong to the Alpha, then it's your son.

At some point, Daniel had to be proud of the fact that he never once agreed that his mom was no more; he said something inside him was telling him that his mom was very much alive.The news of Luna being alive spread like wildfire in the Greyhound pack, and out of happiness, Darien insisted they celebrate so the villagers who didn't get the chance to see her could come to see her.Michael was heartbroken because he had expected her to move on from Darien once she came back, but she did otherwise by still sticking to him. He couldn't be more heartbroken. Darien noticed it and tried talking to him, but he would just dismiss him, saying they would never be friends no matter what happened.Alisha never once succumbed to the idea; she insisted that it was way too early to celebrate.When they re

THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION (His Bride, Her Prison)
I never wanted any part in this. But I have no choice. With a deep sigh, I force down an invisible lump in my throat, looking up at the priest.
I press my fingers tighter into the flower I am holding, hoping it hides how much I am shaking. Dreading the words the priest is about to utter.
“Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asks.
I blink.
I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone.
My lips tremble as I force the truth down my throat, “Yes, I do.” I murmur, my voice a little over a whisper.
~~~~
Ariel Hannah Boone didn't know what life had in store for her when she woke up on her twin sister's wedding day, only to find out her sister had run away.
She went into panic when her mother insisted she take her place because Dermos Salvatore was no man to joke with.
Dermos was the most feared Don in the whole of Sicily, one who killed without care. A blood thirsty murderer with no remorse.
In an attempt to save her family from his wrath, she takes her sister's place at the wedding.
Pain, suffering, and betrayal are all she knows the moment she became his. Secrets begin to unveil as she realises her family isn't what it seems.
And when whispers of her sister's disappearance reach her, she finds out the truth.
He never wanted Ariella; it had always been her.
Ariel has to choose between a love built on lies or betraying her sister and family.
She was his bride, and he was her prison, yet he would never let her go.

The explosion?” I asked, staring at Dermos.“It was us,” Carlos replied. “While you girls were snooping around, Dermos and I snuck our way to the generator and slipped in a small bomb we brought in with our shoes,” he ex

They spread like fire through dry air.A ripple moved across the ballroom as conversations died before they even started, and laughter melted into silence.Eyes began to shift suspiciously around as fear took hold, with a good number not knowing what to do. It all choked down on us, on me in particular, as my chest tightened instantly.“They’re locking this down,” Luciana whispered beside me, tightening her grip around my arm slightly. “We are leaving. Now.”“What of Dermos and Carlos?” I asked, and she shook her head.“We don't have that kind of time; we are the ones with the evidence.

“Stop this God forsaken wedding!!” I boom, my voice resonating through the halls of the church.
Murmurs fill the air as eyes turn to me, dressed in nothing but rags. My grip tightens on the bat in my right hand.
How dare they? How dare he?
My eyes burn as I match forward, my body trembling with rage.
“Clara, what–”
His words are barely out before I send my hand forward, swinging the bat at him.
Thick red blood spurts out as screams fill the air.
