Chapter: Chapter 6IvyThree hours later.The plane finally landed at the airport, and the first sight that caught my attention was a familiar jet with Dante's name written boldly on it.Just like that, every bit of hope I'd managed to gather during the flight disappeared.Dante really flew back without me?All this while, I thought Dante wouldn’t leave me behind without showing the basic courtesy of informing me, but I was wrong.Wrong and delusional.“You don’t have to follow in the same car with me. I have cars waiting at the airport on arrival in case I come with visitors, so you can take one.” Voss said as he stood up from his seat.He reached for the overhead compartment where he had initially dropped my suitcase, then he pulled it out.“Here, I will have an attendant take it out for you and get you a car too. Tell the driver to take you to my house, that's all.”After our last odd conversation, Voss barely spoke five words to me. He had his face buried in his phone, but he stalled the flight for

Chapter: Chapter 5Ivy HartWhy would he be here? Of all the times he wants to visit the Solano airport, he visits after I arrive?Voss never arrived at the airport when Dante was here. They had made it a norm to only arrive two hours after the other had left.So why was he here?Why now?I watched as he walked elegantly toward the port. He was on a call and hadn’t made eye contact with me, and whoever he was talking to on the phone must seriously be pissing him off because he looked more irritated than usual.Though Voss never looked excited, well except last night in the bathroom when he walked in and made that ridiculous offer. Not just that.Last night something happened in that bathroom that had never happened before. I knew Voss Solano had a special power when it came to making my heart beat in irregular paces, mostly because he was a pro rage baiter who happened to know how to use a single word to get to my nerves, but yesterday was different.It was warm.He had his hands on my cheeks, and his e

Chapter: Chapter 4Ivy's POVRule number one: Do not fall to alcoholism when you just got your heart broken, you might end up calling the person who broke your heart, or worse, you might call someone else and say embarrassing things to them.On my path, I called my best friend, Zela, the moment I came back home in shambles after Dante had announced his new girlfriend on international TV.Zela, being aware of my crush on Dante, took the first flight out of her city when she saw the news being broadcast live, and two hours after I got home she was banging on my door.“Here, have this, it will help with the headache.” She passed me a cup of egg yolk.“Breakfast would be ready too in like thirty minutes, so get ready, take your bath, and look alive, my sweet, sweet Ivy.” She pinched my cheeks.“I don’t want to go! I don’t want to do anything today, Zel. I just want to stay here all day snuggling with Mr. Puddle.” Mr. Puddle was my cat, who had unfortunately been straddled in my arms all night while I cried

Chapter: Chapter 3VossI didn’t need five years to know Dante wouldn’t know when he had something priceless right before him. All I needed was a second.The second I saw her five years ago, working for Ashcombe and personally with Dante, I knew a day like this would come, and I hate to admit that I was patiently waiting for it, and it finally arrived.“What? What are you looking for here?” She asked, looking fazed by my sudden appearance.I couldn’t possibly tell her that I knew why she left the hall, or that I came to console her about the news, which obviously tore her apart.“You don’t just walk around a place like this without a chauffeur, young lady.” I said steadily, as I watched her reaction to what I just said.First she was confused, then annoyed.“Chauffeur? I am a full-grown woman! And I can protect myself. I don’t need anyone, and most definitely not you, Voss,” she said in her bossy tone that tickled my fancy.Even though I knew she was serious, I couldn’t help but smirk.“I still won’t le

Chapter: Chapter 2Ivy's POVFor about five seconds, all I heard was a ringing in my head that just resounded over and over again."Nice meeting you, Ivy. I have heard a lot about you." The lady stretched out her hand to me, and I just stared at it, not knowing what to do.I took her hand, and she gripped it rather tightly, her eyes holding mine."Dante talks about you a lot! Literally, all he talks about is Ivy this, Ivy that, Ivy, Ivy, Ivy. I had to see you personally," she said in a rather cheerful way, but I didn't buy it.I was a lady just like her. I knew when a lady was being sarcastic, mostly in a territorial way. She smiled sweetly, then slid her hand up to his chest and pulled him in for a kiss, leaving her lipstick stain on his cheek.My heart skipped again.This was it? This was what he wanted to tell me? That he had a girlfriend.I stared at Dante, fighting back the bitterness that now coated my mouth. It felt like I had swallowed a bag of cement, and it had glued my tongue to the roof of m

Chapter: Chapter 1Ivy's POVToday was the Ballon d'Or award, also known as the award given to the best footballer of the year, and Dante Solano would be winning it.I knew this because for the five years I had known Dante, winning the Ballon d'Or was all he had ever wanted, and this year he scored more goals than any footballer out there.He worked hard for this, and I was there at every pitch, every training session, cheering him on and showing the world how much he worked, so everyone knew this year he was going to win for sure, and nothing would make me happier than seeing my best friend on that stage doing what he does best.Being perfect.The truth was that Dante and I weren’t just client and worker. He was my best friend, and also the man I had been madly in love with for five years.To everyone else, I was nothing but a PR manager who always made sure the team looked flawless on camera, and to the netizens they were dreamy and hardworking, but to Dante I was the "best thing that has ever happene

Chapter: Chapter 239Selene’s POVJoan, Lucian, and I were in a room. Secluded from all the noise outside.“Tell me what happened?” Joan started.“Casper… he’s not just rich. He’s a wolf.” I started their eyes popped to the horrors of it, a wolf in the human realm is diabolical.“Not just a wolf, but also Emily’s brother, turns out Emily leaves the pack to the human realm to talk with her brother. He knew what the stone was for all along, he knew about me and also my aim to take it, he knew about you, and my powers, all this was told to him by Emily. In good faith, she had no idea her brother, whom she had kept a secret, was a psychopath.”The room went quiet.“What? “ Lucian finally broke the silence.“He waited for me, kidnapped me, and then injected me so in wouldn’t have the courage to leave, or the energy.”“Shit…if you had something in your system, you would have said it first thing, you know you can’t heal yourself.” Lucian stood up from his seat, about to leave, but I stopped him.“There's more.

Chapter: Chapter 238Selenes POVOh, I have prayed to the goddess that one day this would happen. Looking down at Lucian's red eyes. My dream came through. I lowered my head, kissing him again, then wrapped my arms around his neck.“You are dying,” I said with utter bitterness and pain.“Let me heal you.”“I won’t let you risk your life, or that of my baby.” He knew…I hugged him tighter. “We have to find a solution, Lucian. I just had you back, I can’t, I won’t let you go.” He wasn’t dying on my watch. Never.“I can’t,” He protested, pulling me down, then swooping me off my feet again, he carried me to the truck they came in, placing me in the back seat and telling Joan to drive. The weather was brighter now. I could see Joan's face.She wasn’t exactly the happiest at the moment. When I left, I knew I could trust her with Ella because I knew she would do anything to make sure Lucian is safe and that he achieved all he set out for. She loved him. I didn’t know what else to tell her to console her broken he

Chapter: Chapter 237Selene’s POVIt was early in the morning, and the windstorm had taken a long chill. The weather wasn’t so bright, but it was a new day and the perfect time to get on with my life. I bet Casper's presence had been cleansed and his abomination wiped away in the rain.“Are you ready to leave now?” A familiar voice resounded from behind. Rowan the rogue, who had saved me and also given me stale bread overnight, said behind me, sluggishly pulling himself off the bed. I watched him turn off the lamp, slowly burning, making the room a little bit darker than it should be.“My daughter, she must be so angry with me. I have to go back now. Thanks for last night, I would not have done it without you.” I bowed a little, normally, I would have given him something as a token of my appreciation.He was obviously a rogue like me. No pack and no partner, it's rare to see people who act alone, and still choose to be kind to strangers.“I have to leave. I hope to see you some other time, and maybe we wil

Chapter: Chapter 236Selene's POV “Don’t thank me yet,” he replied lightly, though there was a seriousness in his eyes that told me he’d seen more than I cared to admit. “Rest now, and when you’re ready, we can talk. But first, you need to recover.” I looked away, remembering the sharp, bitter taste of the wind and the haunting sound of those rogues’ voices. “I’m a rogue,” I repeated, as if to convince myself that I could still be the fierce, independent warrior I’d always been. “I don’t usually need help.” He paused, his hands still working over my wounds. “Maybe not,” he said softly. “But even rogues have scars that run deeper than the skin. Let me help you patch those up tonight.” I wanted to protest, to cling to the pride that had kept me isolated for so long, but the truth was undeniable. I was tired—physically and emotionally battered. And deep down, I knew that letting someone in wouldn’t make me weak; it would simply make me human. With a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of my soul, I n

Chapter: Chapter 235Selene’s POV I lashed out with my free arm, slamming my elbow into my attacker’s ribs, and he grunted, loosening his grip on my wrist for just a heartbeat. The chaotic sounds of the forest—the relentless storm, snapping branches, and the harsh murmurs of the rogues—filled my ears. I scrambled backwards, my heart pounding hard enough that I could almost hear it. I knew I had to run. I couldn’t stay here and be caught by these desperate fools. I bolted through the underbrush, adrenaline pounding in my veins, each step fueled by fear and fury. My breath came in ragged gasps as I dashed blindly through the forest, blood seeping from fresh cuts and old bruises alike. I didn’t dare look back, though I could hear the snarls and angry shouts trailing me in the distance. The wind still whipped at me, unrelenting, and for a moment I thought it would sweep me off my feet entirely. I fought it, clinging to the wet ground as if my life depended on it—because it did. I could almost taste the meta

Chapter: Chapter 234Lucians POVIt came to me like a blow, and for what seemed like forever, I remained stuck to a spot, just thinking about everything that was said.Seleene… Human realm, Impossible. She would die. My child would die, I would not be able to keep my promise to Ella, I would lose the love of my life, I would die, I would fuckin die.“Lucian….”“Lucian. I swear to the goddess, we had everything under control. She wasn’t supposed to take this long, we planned everything, and I trained her. I think something happened. I was going to look for her, I would go to the human realm, I was going to find her.” Joan said, equally panicking.Standing from where I sat.“You said. You said you wouldn’t be angry, now you are pissed and I .”“You kept it away from me, what do you expect? Do you know that Ella needs her mother?” I was holding it in, mostly because Joan had just witnessed a near-death event, and fighting and struggling to let her see that I can’t be sane when my mate is out there would not b
