Chapter: THE SUDDEN TRIPCleo's POV I swallowed hard, my heart pounding against my ribs. “Then make me,” I whispered. “You can't just tell me to trust you when your action says otherwise.”He reached for my hand, intertwining our fingers. “I will.”I searched his eyes, looking for even the smallest sign of hesitation. But there was none, just pure sincerity.I sighed, my shoulders slumping. “You owe me another date for this.”Russo chuckled, his grip tightening around my hand. “Your wish is my command.”And just like that, the tension in the room faded, even if the doubt still lingered somewhere deep inside me.As I settled onto the bed, running a towel through my damp hair, Russo’s voice broke through the silence, pulling my attention away from my thoughts.“I need to talk to you about something,” he said, sounding unusually serious.I turned to look at him, curiosity piqued. “What’s going on?”He hesitated for a moment before sitting on the edge of the bed, facing me. “I got a call earlier. It’s from work.

Chapter: MY HANDS ARE TIEDCleo’s POVThe second I stepped inside, I came to an abrupt halt. My entire body went rigid as my gaze landed on Isabelle.She sat comfortably on the couch and the sight of her made me realize how foolish I had been to think the house was now free of her presence. She was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a thin spaghetti-strap top, curled up with a bag of chips as if she didn’t have a care in the world. Isabelle sprang up from the couch, her bag of chips forgotten as she rushed toward us.“Welcome back, Enzo!” she squealed, throwing her arms around his neck.Before I could even process what was happening, she pressed a quick peck to his neck, lingering just a second too long before pulling back with a smirk.“How was your day? And….. did you have enough fun with her?” she asked, her gaze flicking toward me with barely concealed amusement.My entire body went still.“Excuse me?” I took a deliberate step forward, crossing my arms. “Could you please step back a bit?” My voice wa

Chapter: OFF THE HOOKCleo's POV I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep until I felt a soft brush of fingers against my cheek.“Cleo.” Russo’s voice was low, gentle, like he was afraid of waking me too suddenly.I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the dim lighting of the private theater. The movie had ended, the screen frozen on the credits.“You dozed off,” he said, amusement tugging at the corners of his lips.I stretched, letting out a small yawn before narrowing my eyes at him. “Maybe you’re just too tired of being cranky all day.”Russo smirked. “Or maybe you just feel safe with me once again.”I scoffed. “Don’t push it.”He chuckled, standing up and stretching before offering me his hand. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”I hesitated for a moment before taking it. His grip was warm, familiar, steady. As he led me out of the theater, a comfortable silence settled between us.Outside, the night air was crisp, carrying the faint hum of the city. The streets weren’t too busy, just a few cars passing by, thei

Chapter: YOU'RE SUCH A SHOW-OFFCleo's POV He smirked slightly. “Wouldn’t be the first time neither will it be the last.”That caught me off guard. A laugh bubbled up before I could stop it, and Russo’s expression softened, like he had been waiting for that exact moment.He reached for my hand again, and this time, I let him. “Forgive me?” he murmured.I exhaled, shaking my head at him. “I hate you, Russo.”He grinned. “Is that a yes?”I rolled my eyes. “…Yes, you idiot.”He let out a relieved chuckle before getting up and pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. “Thank you, princess.”I sighed dramatically. “You owe me dessert for this.”He smirked. “Done.”And just like that, the tension eased again.Halfway through our meal, a notification dropped on his phone and he excused himself, and I watched him disappear inside the restaurant. I frowned slightly but didn’t overthink it, instead focusing on the city lights twinkling below.A few minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching.I turned—and my breath caught.Russo

Chapter: AT THE RESTAURANT Cleo's POV The tension that had hung between us for weeks had eased.I wasn’t over everything that had happened, but I couldn’t deny how good it felt to just be here, to have his full attention, to feel like I mattered to him again.Soon, the waiter returned with our meals, placing our plates down with a flourish. The food smelled divine, the steam curling into the night air.Russo glanced at my plate, his lips twitching. “You and pasta.”I shot him a look. “Pasta is elite. You wouldn’t understand.”He chuckled. “You do know there’s a whole steakhouse on the other side of this rooftop, right?”“And yet,” I said, twirling my fork into the creamy truffle pasta, “I have exactly what I want.”Russo shook his head fondly before slicing into his steak.For a while, we ate in comfortable silence, the only sounds between us being the clinking of silverware and the faint music playing in the background. I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until I took my first bite, the rich, buttery flavors m

Chapter: PRINCESSCleo's POV After leaving the Rage House, Russo drove us to an arcade—one of those massive, neon-lit places filled with flashing lights, loud laughter, and the sounds of games being played. I wasn’t expecting it, but the moment we stepped inside, nostalgia hit me. “You remembered,” I said, glancing at him. His lips quirked up. “How could I forget? You used to drag me here all the time.” A small smile tugged at my lips. I did, back when I couldn't seem to be at peace with myself after locking Aunt Lydia and Ella up. This was before Russo travelled here, before he became so entangled with Isabelle that he was ready to fight for her at anytime. How did everything get so messy? Russo grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the basketball hoops, jerking me out of my lost state. “Alright, let’s see if you’ve still got your magic.” I scoffed. “Please. I always beat you at this, you know that.” “That was long ago,” he challenged, grabbing a ball. “Show me what you’ve got, p

Chapter: Chapter 9The restaurant was exactly the kind of place his mother preferred; exclusive, elegant, and designed to impress. Crystal chandeliers cast soft light over white tablecloths, and a string quartet played Vivaldi in the corner. The private dining room overlooked the city, floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view that cost more per square foot than most people earned in a year.Dylan arrived at 6:55 PM, precisely on time.His mother was already there, resplendent in a navy Chanel suit, her silver hair swept into an immaculate chignon. She looked up from her wine glass as he entered, her sharp eyes assessing him instantly.“You look tired,” she observed.“Good evening to you too, Mother.” Dylan kissed her cheek and took the seat beside her. “I’m fine.”“You’re never fine when you say you’re fine,” she repeated her words from yesterday, but this time with a hint of genuine concern. “Is it the Nakamura deal? I heard they’re being difficult about the merger terms.”“The deal is progressin

Chapter: Chapter 8The Frost Holdings building was nearly empty when they arrived. Dylan took the private elevator to his floor, the silence oppressive after the chaos in his head.His office felt different now. Every surface Isla had touched, the desk where she left his morning coffee, the chair she sat in during briefings, the window where she’d stood on her first day all of it carried new weight.Dylan sank into his chair, pulling up his email. True to her word, Evelyn had sent the candidate profiles.Vivienne Sinclair - Heiress, philanthropist, graduated summa cum laude from Wellesley.Charlotte Beaumont - CEO of her family’s hotel chain, featured in Forbes 30 Under 30.Anastasia Volkov - International relations expert, speaks six languages.They were impressive women, all of them. Beautiful, accomplished, exactly what his mother would consider “suitable.”But unfortunately, none of them were Isla.Dylan’s finger hovered over the delete button, but he stopped himself.

Chapter: Chapter 7The words hit him like a physical blow.Dylan stumbled back from the door, his pulse roaring in his ears. He made it to the stairwell before his composure cracked, bracing himself against the cold concrete wall.His mind spun, trying to grasp the implications. The timeline matched, but…He pulled out his phone with trembling hands, scrolling through his calendar. The night he’d gone to that bar after a frustrating negotiation. The woman with tears streaming down her face.It couldn’t be.But even as he tried to deny it, certainty settled in his chest like lead.He’d noticed the torn condom afterward, cursed himself for being careless, planned to tell her in the morning. But she’d vanished before dawn, leaving nothing but a note and the faint scent of her perfume on his sheets.He’d told himself it would be fine. That the chances were slim. He thought she was smart enough to use a pill in the morning.What was I thinking?Dylan’s fist clenched against the wall. He’d been careful his

Chapter: Chapter 6The silence stretched between them like a tightrope.Dylan’s jaw tightened as he watched her stand there, polite and professional, not a flicker of recognition in those warm brown eyes. The same eyes that had been filled with tears six weeks ago. The same eyes that had looked at him with desperate need before she’d whispered another man’s name.And now she looked at him like a stranger.“Mr. Frost?” Isla shifted slightly, unnerved by his intense stare. “Is everything alright?”He blinked, forcing himself back to the present. “Fine.” His voice came out rougher than intended. He cleared his throat and moved behind his desk, putting distance between them. “Evelyn should have briefed you on your duties.”“She did.” Isla clutched her tablet against her chest. “I’m to manage your schedule, handle correspondence, screen calls, and prepare materials for meetings. I’ve already organized your calendar for the next two weeks and flagged the urgent items that need your attention.”“Good.” He pul

Chapter: Chapter 5The elevator chimed.Dylan Frost adjusted the cuff of his charcoal suit, his expression unreadable as he stepped into the executive floor of Frost Holdings. New York air always carried too much noise, but inside his company, silence was a rule.His personal assistant, Evelyn, trailed beside him with her tablet, her heels clicking softly in rhythm with his steps. “Sir, about the internal screening…”He didn’t look at her. “Proceed.”Evelyn nodded quickly. “Your mother approved the idea of a private selection. Six candidates have been shortlisted, all with verified backgrounds, strong social standings, and no prior scandals. I’ve organized their profiles in your system.”Dylan’s jaw flexed. The entire ordeal was absurd, a “selection” to find a wife, orchestrated under the guise of corporate image and family legacy. But his mother had made it clear: his father’s will wasn’t negotiable. Marry before his half-brother’s wedding, or lose Frost Holdings to someone who didn’t deserve to inh

Chapter: Chapter 4 The sound of his phone shattered the silence.Dylan blinked, pulling himself from the spiral of thoughts that had haunted him since dawn. The bed beside him was empty, the faint dent on the pillow already fading, as if she’d never been there at all.He rubbed a hand over his face before answering. “Yes, Claire?”“Sir, Mrs. Frost has called the office three times this morning. She’s… not exactly pleased you’ve been in New York for four days without stopping by.”He exhaled, tipping his head back. “Of course she’s not.”“She’s expecting you today. Preferably before lunch.”“Understood.” He ended the call and sat for a long moment, staring at the city sprawled beneath his window.He dressed in silence, sliding back into the armor of his usual composure, then headed for the Frost estate hoping she'd used postpill like every other lady.The mansion loomed like a relic of another century, white stone, tall windows, and the faint scent of roses trailing through the iron gates.

Chapter: ARGON After the scene at the pack house, I knew I couldn’t let this slide. The thought of my father, Alpha Grant, taking Hailey, my mate and my ex-wife as his Luna twisted something deep inside me. This wasn’t just about pride or territory; it was personal. Hailey was mine she belonged with me, not him. The idea of her ruling over me was unthinkable. I wouldn’t sit by and watch this happen. That evening, I called an emergency meeting with the elders. As they gathered, I felt the weight of their expectant gazes on me. Some looked puzzled, others concerned, but I saw no sign of approval in any of their eyes. Good. At least I wasn’t the only one who saw this situation for what it was. I gestured for them to sit while I took a deep breath, pushing down the anger that burned beneath my skin. I had to stay focused. “Good evening, elders,” I began, my voice cold and resolute. “I’ve called you here because there’s a fire burning beneath our feet, and we cannot ignore it any longer.

Chapter: HAILEYDespite the fear that rippled through the pack, there was an underlying respect for the Alpha King. His name alone was enough to silence conversations, to halt the beating of hearts. He embodied power, justice, and an unspoken mystique. Rarely seen, his face was known only to a select few advisors, bound by an oath of secrecy that was unbreakable. The law that governed them was simple: speak of him, and both you and your family would face execution. The Alpha King had become more than a leader; he was a myth, an enigma, a figure whose very existence both terrified and fascinated. Whispers of him painted a picture of a man wrapped in mystery. Some said he always wore a hat and mask that concealed his face completely, leaving only his commanding aura to define him. Others spoke of his rare visits, describing a tall, imposing figure who exuded an almost otherworldly presence. They spoke of a fragrance that followed him, a scent so unique that it demanded attention, respect, and submiss

Chapter: HAILEY“Elara,” he greeted, his voice smooth, though there was a hint of surprise. “I didn’t expect to see you here today, I hope all is well?” Elara inclined her head respectfully. “Alpha Grant,” she said, with a touch of warmth. “Hailey has requested to learn the Luna protocols. I thought it best she understand the responsibility.” Alpha Grant’s eyes shifted to me, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. “I see,” he said, his tone curious. “Can I have a quick word with you, Hailey” I excused myself as he led me towards his room. “What exactly are you doing, Hailey?” he asked, his voice low, though there was a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. I met his gaze evenly, choosing my words carefully. “Just preparing for what’s to come,” I replied. “Ava made her intentions quite clear, and I intend to be ready.” He raised an eyebrow. “Ava?” “Yes, she plans to make Argon the Alpha before the Alpha King arrives, rallying the pack members against you to secure her position a

Chapter: HAILEY The weight of Ava’s words lingered in my mind, gnawing at me with an unsettling persistence. The Alpha King’s visitation was only days away, and Wolf Shade, my pack, was the last stop on his tour. This would be more than just another event; it could shatter the fragile peace that had settled over us and shift the entire pack dynamic. I rose from the bed, feeling the cold air of the room against my skin as I wrapped my arms around myself. Outside, the grounds were quiet, eerily so. Except for Alpha Grant, who crossed the courtyard with a cold, distant expression, walking past Argon as if he were invisible. He didn’t even spare him a glance as he slid into his car without a word, disappearing into the distance. Argon stood frozen in the same spot, fists clenched, his body radiating frustration. Ava, as expected, appeared at his side, linking her arm through his with a possessive, almost smug gesture. She whispered something in his ear, and together they walked off, heads held high.

Chapter: HAILEYHailey’s POV I snuggled under the thick, warm duvet, feeling the faint thrill of solitude as I flipped through the novel I’d borrowed a few days ago from Alpha Grant’s study. His collection was impressive, filled with volumes I could lose myself in for hours. As I flipped through the pages, immersed in the novel with the thought of Argon’s drama at the back of my mind, my peace was short lived. Without warning, the door burst open, and there stood Ava, looking like a storm ready to wreak havoc. Her gaze met mine with such disdain that it felt like she was peering into my soul just to find reasons to hate me. She didn’t waste a second before hurling accusations, her words slicing through the quiet like a blade. “I never knew you'd be this shameless, Hailey” she spat, her voice laced with venom. “Coveting your ex-husband’s father? Really, Hailey? Lusting after your father-in-law now? Does that even make any sense?” I raised an eyebrow, unfazed by her fury. “Did you say good morning?

Chapter: ARGONI stood frozen, grappling with a mixture of fury and disbelief. How could she do that to her own sister? But then, before I could utter a single word, I caught sight of Alpha Grant descending the stairs. His gaze was unreadable as he watched us, his calm only fueling the fire within me.Hailey walked past me with her mat tucked under her arm, her eyes gleaming with a confidence that stoked my anger even further. She held her head high, sparing me one last hideous look before turning toward my father.“I’ll go in first,” she said quietly, stepping past him without another glance my way.I clenched my fists, feeling every emotion swirl into a chaotic storm. Watching her walk away so calmly, as if this whole scene hadn’t affected her, only deepened my sense of betrayal. And my father stood there, unmoved. I could feel his gaze on me, quiet yet unyielding, as though he’d already decided exactly what he’d say and how he’d dismiss me.Finally, I couldn’t take the silence. “How could you, fa
