Chapter: Chapter Seventy-oneMirabella's povFor days, I hadn’t given much thought to my conversation with Lucy and Caesar. I had been too caught up with Jayden—spending time together, going on dates, and having sex. But one evening, after dinner, he took me to what everyone believed to be his study room.At first, I thought he was taking me on another date when he mentioned earlier that he had a surprise for me until we stopped in front of the door.At first, I was not sure what I was looking at as the warm glow of a chandelier hanging from the ceiling slowly illuminated the space before me, revealing a breathtaking sight. Floor-to-ceiling shelves lined the walls, packed with books. A large wooden desk sat near the centre, between two chairs.  But what truly caught my breath were the artworks. Framed paintings and sketches hung meticulously on the walls. Scattered around the room were more canvases, some stacked against the shelves, some propped up on easels as if abandoned. A scent of aged paper and faint t

 Chapter: Chapter SeventyMirabella's povI woke up to the soft golden glow of sunlight spilling through the blinds, warming and painting stripes of warmth across my skin.My body instinctively craved a stretch to shake off the remnants of sleep, but just as I began to move, a voice cut through the stillness.  “Stop.”  It was sharp, yet calm, and it made me freeze mid-motion. Slowly, I turned my head toward the voice, my gaze landing on Jayden.There he was, perched on a stool by the window, a streak of sunlight catching in the messy strands of his hair. A faint smile curved his lips, but his eyes were sharp, focused on the canvas before him. In one hand, he held a brush, dappled with shades of vibrant color, and his other rested lightly on the edge of the easel. The brush danced effortlessly over the canvas, his wrist flicking with confident precision.“Don’t. Move,” he repeated, softer this time, his smile widening ever so slightly.“What the hell are you doing?” I asked, my voice groggy with sleep.  H

 Chapter: Chapter Sixty-nineAuthor's pov"So, you're saying he asked you what she likes?" Caesar smirked, the neon lights of the Aphrodite Club’s VIP section casting a glow on his face as he spoke to Noah, Mirabella's father.Helen had tipped Caesar off that Jayden had asked her for Noah’s contact info and address a few days ago.Curious about why Jayden was interested in meeting Noah, Caesar called him over to figure it out.When Noah confirmed the details, Caesar’s grin widened. "This is getting interesting," he mused, clearly entertained.After giving Noah a stack of cash and telling him to report back the next time Jayden reached out, Caesar dismissed him.Caesar could not stop smiling all through as he watched Noah leave. "This is it right? Since we've confirmed that asshole's weakness, it's time we strike." Levine snarled, a smirk playing on his lips.Helen, who had been sitting beside Caesar cut in, scoffing. "Has he really fallen for her? Even if he has, which I still can’t believe, her of all people?"

 Chapter: Chapter Sixty-eightMirabella's povThere was nothing more I had prayed for than to find a home—an actual home where love did not feel like a transaction or a weapon. Now, I had it. Jayden, our adopted son Lucas, and Eunice had become my everything. For the first time in my chaotic life, I felt like I belonged somewhere.The room buzzed with warmth as I sat in Lucy and Caesar’s luxurious living room, gushing about my life with Jayden.  I spoke with a wide grin, my hands animated as I described Jayden's hilarious antics and his sudden obsession with baking cookies for me. But something was off.  Her silence had been gnawing at me for minutes. She usually had this infectious energy that lit up every conversation, but now, she sat stiffly, her hands clutching the hem of her dress like it was the only thing holding her together. Her face was swollen, bruised, and far too quiet. My words faltered mid-sentence, the grin melting from my face.  “Lucy, what happened to your face?” I asked.Her eyes darted away

 Chapter: Chapter Sixty-sevenMirabella's povI left the hospital with Jayden and the boy, Lucas, whom he had adopted. To my surprise, Jayden was not just changing towards me—he seemed different overall, especially with how friendly he had been to Lucas since we left the hospital. The man who once seemed cold and distant now wanted to take a little boy on a tour around the house. “Are you sure the kid isn’t your long-lost son?” I raised an eyebrow and smirked.It was so unlike him that I could not resist teasing him about it. His face scrunched in confusion. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” “Have you forgotten how you used to barely tolerate me?” I shot back, crossing my arms. "And now here you are, ready to give Lucas the grand tour.” He let out a scoff, shaking his head in disbelief. “Don’t tell me you are jealous.” “Me? Jealous?” I shrugged nonchalantly, though my smirk gave me away. "Please. I’m just stating the obvious.” That was all it took to flip the switch. His gaze darkened as he bega

 Chapter: Chapter Sixty-sixMirabella's povJayden's voice dropped low. "You probably should have figured it out by now that you were operated on while you were at the club, like so many others in your position."He paused, his eyes fixed on the floor."A tracking chip was implanted in your arm to monitor your movements in case you tried to escape. It’s still there, and it’s how I’ve been able to keep track of you.”The fact that he was finally telling me now... stripping himself bare just like he had been doing of late was the final confirmation I needed that he's now changed and loved me dearly like he had been claiming.Slowly, he raised his gaze, his eyes meeting mine for the first time since he started speaking."You didn’t know, did you?" His voice barely above a whisper.He hesitated, then stepped closer, just two small steps, as if unsure of how close he could get. "I’m sorry for keeping this from you until now," he said, his voice cracking with emotion."I—""It’s okay," I said, cutting him off gently

Bound by a Dangerous Fate to my Student: The Prophecy
"You are my mate, Sarah," he confessed, his voice trembling with pain.
"I knew it before I even spoke to you that night at the club. I lied when I said it was a joke because I was hiding who I really am, and because I’ve always believed having a mate is a weakness..." His voice dropped to a whisper, his gaze locked on mine. 
"Until now."

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-sevenSarah's POVIs this the life I’ll be living now? From one hell to another with no respite in sight?I stared at nothing, my mind spinning. When would the Moon Goddess finally decide I’d suffered enough? Was there ever going to be an end to this torment? Because the future I faced seemed nothing short of hell.At least before, when everyone saw me as a murderer and treated me like dirt, I had some control. I could wake up each day and choose to survive. But this? Being forced into a life I never wanted, shackled to a man I didn’t love, all because of some cruel twist of fate?This wasn’t mercy. This was a cage with golden bars.After Alpha Derek’s shocking announcement, the murmurs of dissent from the pack simmered, but no one dared challenge him.Some even said he had lost his mind after he left.I’d stood there, frozen under their piercing stares, feeling like prey surrounded by predators until Alaric appeared.He walked through the crowd as if they didn’t exist, his eyes locked on m

 Chapter: Chapter Eighty-sixAuthor's POVThe pack members were all disappointed at Alpha Derek’s judgment in sparing Sarah’s life.Even aside that, the idea of a murderer and outcast—not even a werewolf like them—becoming their future Luna didn’t sit well with anyone. But no one dared speak up, not even the fiercest and the elders among them. They knew challenging the Alpha’s word was courting death.Before leaving the square, Alpha Derek’s sharp voice tore through the uneasy murmurs.“Anyone who disagrees with my decision,” he said, turning in a slow arc, "should step forward and say that to my face.”But not one soul moved. Even Axel, whose clenched fists betrayed his disagreement, didn’t dare to step forward.Moments later, when the crowd began to disperse, Axel, wrestling with confusion and frustration, raced after his father. His boots crunched over the gravel path leading into the dense woods behind the square. “Father!” Axel called, breathless, his voice echoing faintly between the trees. "Wait!”Al

 Chapter: Chapter Eighty-fiveSarah's POVI couldn’t believe it when an echoing "Stop!" tore through the night like thunder, freezing me in place.For a second, I thought I was already dead, already crossing into whatever came after.But no… The world hadn’t faded. I could still feel the burning air in my lungs and the pounding of my heart.Slowly, my eyes fluttered open.And there he was.Alpha Derek.His gaze was sharp as fire.It couldn’t be him. It just couldn’t.He was the one who had given the order. Why would he stop it now?Yet the sound had been his. I was sure of it.My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to make sense of it, my pulse thundering in my ears.Around me, the same shock rippled through the pack members.Even Alpha Derek’s children stared at their father, eyes wide with disbelief.The warriors who had closed in on me halted mid-motion, claws half-raised, muscles coiled like springs ready to strike.Their glowing eyes flicked between me and their Alpha, waiting for confirmation.You could t

 Chapter: Chapter Eighty-fourSarah's POVHours crawled by until the moment finally came.Now I stood in the village square, torches casting flickering light around me, still chained at my wrists and now my ankles in the centre of it all.Shadows flickered across the faces of the entire Blackwood Pack gathered around me, forming a living, breathing circle of judgement.Elders. Men. Women. Even pups who barely came up to their parents’ waists.They stared at me like I was filth. Some with narrowed eyes, some with mouths twisted into cruel smirks. No one hid their hatred.“Take a look at that murderer,” a woman hissed loud enough for everyone to hear.Her claws had already sprouted, glinting in the firelight.It was obvious that if we were alone in a room, she wouldn’t waste time before pouncing on me."I knew it. I told you she’d pay one day," she sneered.A tall man in the crowd spat at my feet. “We’ve been waiting for this moment for years. The Moon Goddess has delivered her to us!”Another voice—sharper, colder—

 Chapter: Chapter Eighty-threeAnderson's POVBefore parting ways at the loan shark’s office, I’d given Lancelot one order: to use his power and climb higher in the Blackwood Pack’s ranks.If I’d had someone watching from inside those inner circles earlier, I wouldn’t have walked straight into Alpha Derek’s trap.If I hadn’t overheard his sneaky plans, things would have been a complete mess by now.I parked my car in the garage when I got home.I was heading toward the front door after parking when Lucas’ cold voice suddenly echoed behind me."Where the hell have you been?”I exhaled slowly, regretting that I’d called him earlier.Turning, my usual playful smirk spread across my lips.“Don’t tell me you skipped school too,” I teased lightly.“Damn, I won’t even be surprised if Principal Gaines called my parents already.”But his expression didn’t change. Just ice.Then he moved closer, closing the space between us, his eyes locking onto mine like a predator about to strike.“What was that call about?” His voice was

 Chapter: Chapter Eighty-twoAnderson's POVLancelot and I had crossed into Blackwood territory, just a few feet deep past the boundary.He’d begged me not to go into the pack’s territory and tried everything to talk me out of it, but I didn’t listen.In the end, I ordered him to lead the way since he knew the pack and the safest route.“Anderson, this is madness,” he muttered for the tenth time."You’re walking into the lion’s den. No one survives storming Blackwood’s land. This isn’t bravery—it’s suicide. Sometimes… sometimes giving up is the only way to live.” His words were laced with careful persuasion, but underneath, I could hear the manipulation.I stopped abruptly, turning on him with a glare sharp enough to slice through steel. “Are you saying I should leave her to die?”He flinched, but pressed on. “I’m saying this isn’t just danger, Anderson. This is a death wish. You can fight warriors, maybe even Alpha Derek's sons… But Alpha Derek himself? You’d be signing your own grave.”I stepped closer, my voic
