Chapter: 260. Peace, finally (Epilogue)~Teen Ruby's POV~The wind on Silver Frost Peak has a fresh smell in spring—crisp pine, lilacs, and a hint of warmth. It feels calm and settled. It's been almost twelve years since the last war ended. Twelve years since blood was spilled, and we lived in fear. After all this time, our world can finally breathe easy again.And now? The Silver Frost Pack isn't just a stronghold. It's home. It’s laughter echoing from stone balconies. It’s children playing without looking over their shoulders. It’s wolves racing through wildflower fields, not for battle, but for joy.Mom and Dad—they’re not just my parents. They’re legends.Everyone knows Ruby Blackwood D’Angelo and Roman D’Angelo. The Luna who once stood on cracked bones to protect her blood, and the Alpha who bent his power to hold her heart.But at home? They're just Mom and Dad.Dad still smirks when he catches Mom rolling her eyes. Mom still mutters “I swear I’ll murder him” when he forgets to close the back door. He still doesn’

Chapter: 259. Stay With Me...Ruby's POVRoman was quiet after the fight. Too quiet.He didn’t complain about the bruises, the slow way he moved, or how he occasionally winced when standing too fast. He just… watched me. Every time I brought him water or pressed a cool cloth to his shoulder, every time I adjusted his bandage or touched his arm longer than necessary—he watched me.Not like a patient. Like a man memorising his reason to stay alive.He didn’t ask for help, but I gave it. Just like he once nursed me when I was broken, lost, confused, and afraid of what I’d become. Back then, his hands had steadied me without demanding anything in return. So now, I gave him the same.It felt… right.The pack had settled for now. No threats. No chaos. No one knocking on the door screaming for blood. Just silence and this fragile space we were building together, like walking on a glass bridge in bare feet.And then, one evening—when the bruising on his cheek had finally faded to a yellow-brown smear and the dark exhaus

Chapter: 258. Fire and Ash...~Roman's POV~The scent hit me first.The smell was heavy and strong—like a mix of blood and smoke in the wet earth. Even though it had rained yesterday, the dampness couldn’t cover up that other smell. It was sharp and metallic, and it felt deeply unsettling.The moonlight filtered through the trees, creating bright spots on the ground while shadows from the low branches danced around us. As Kai and I made our way through the woods, I could hear the crunch of twigs and leaves under my boots, but I wasn't focused on the here and now. My thoughts were racing ahead, wondering what awaited us.And then we saw him.“Rhett?” I stopped short.He was just standing there. Still as stone, eyes wide like he’d seen a ghost. His lips were slightly parted, his skin a few shades too pale.Kai stepped up beside me. “How the hell—?”“I don’t know,” Rhett said quickly. “I swear I don’t. One minute I was in the room... and the next... I was here.”“Sleepwalking?” I asked, my chest tightening as I ste

Chapter: 257. Reckoning...~Ruby’s POV~The wind was sharp that night—cold and wild, like it knew what I was walking into.It didn’t howl. It whispered. Like the trees were holding their breath, the stars refusing to blink. A silence thick enough to hear your own heartbeat in your throat.I left the letter folded neatly on the kitchen counter. One for Roman. One for the twins. I didn’t write much—no drawn-out goodbyes, no sentimental fluff. Just enough for them to understand I had to do this alone.I couldn't risk Roman holding me back. Not with his heart, not with his fear. Not this time.And now I stood beneath the broken arches of the ruined sanctuary, deep in the forest where no streetlights dared to shine. The stones were old, their carvings worn down by the wind and time. Moss covered everything, feeling thick and damp beneath my boots. The shattered stained-glass window above let in bits of moonlight, casting patches of red and blue on the floor like blood and bruises.She was already there, of course.

Chapter: 256. Unknown Heritage...~Ruby's POV~I knew something was wrong the second I saw Rhett sitting on the edge of the couch, shoulders tight, hands tucked beneath his thighs like he was trying to stop himself from shaking. His eyes darted to me when I walked in, then back to the floor.“Mom,” he whispered.I sat beside him. “What is it, baby?”He looked up, his little face pale and frightened. “There was… there was light. From my hands. Like real light, not in my head. It burned.”I bit my lips. Roman had actually told me what he sawI didn’t know what to say at first. I felt Roman’s shadow behind me, his presence instantly tense.“What do you mean, it burned?” I asked carefully.“I dreamed again,” Rhett continued. “Shadows and fire. But this time… when I woke up, my hands were glowing. Like fire, but not hot. And then it stopped. And it happened earlier today during training.” I reached out, gently cupping his cheek. “Did anyone else see it?”He shook his head. “Just me, Aunt Esperanza and Uncle Evan.“Okay,”

Chapter: 255. Burst of Light...~Roman’s POV~The late afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the open training field. The air was filled with the sounds of light grunts, the thud of feet on the ground, and the rustle of grass being disturbed by determined movements. I stood just outside the entrance to the field, my hands in my pockets, quietly watching everything happen.In the centre of the clearing, Rhett was hard at work. Sweat trickled down his forehead, and his cheeks were bright red from the effort. His moves were sharp. They weren’t perfect—he was only six, after all—but the fact that he was out here, going up against Evan and Esperanza, said a lot."Keep working on those forms, Rhett!" Evan called out."You're doing really well," Esperanza added from the sideline, her arms crossed, a satisfied smirk on her face.I watched as Rhett adjusted his footing, shifting his weight like Evan taught him. He maintained a wide stance, with his knees bent just enough, his spine straight, and his f

Chapter: 138. They Are Safe...EPILOGUE The attic smelled of dust, old cedar, and long-forgotten memories. A shaft of afternoon light slanted through a narrow window, cutting across stacks of cardboard boxes and bins labelled in Ava’s precise handwriting. “Christmas Decor,” “Baby Clothes,” “Old Journals.”Lily was now fifteen and much taller than Ava had ever expected. Her thick curls were pulled into a messy bun, and there was a quiet intensity in her dark eyes that reminded Ava of someone with a complicated past full of regrets and hidden identities.She wore one of Alex’s oversized sweatshirts and a pair of cutoff shorts, bare feet padding softly across the floorboards.She wasn’t looking for anything in particular. Just poking through the past, the way curious teenagers often do when the house is too quiet and the world outside feels far away.She pulled out a weathered box marked only with her name: “Pearl.”The lid gave with a slight creak. Inside, there were scattered mementoes: a faded hospital bracelet,

Chapter: 137. Leak Erased...Selena sat in Ava’s old office, though it hardly looked the same anymore.The curtains were new, and the gold-framed portrait of the hospital's benefactors was missing. So were the fancy glass decanters, the biometric safe, and the stylish mahogany organiser that Ava used for discreet transactions that were never meant to be traced.The space was small but looked professional and straightforward. In the calm of the late evening, the air still held hints of Ava's leather polish from her chair, the soft scent of jasmine perfume, and something sharper that Selena couldn’t quite identify.On the desk sat a single photo in a slim silver frame. It showed her and Ava at a hospital gala from years ago, before the world fractured, before masks became lives. They were laughing in that photo, heads tilted together. Friends. Sisters, partners.The muted voice of a news anchor played from a wall-mounted screen in the background, detailing the final sweep of syndicate arrests. “...thanks to seale

Chapter: 136. Mine...“Don’t hold back,” she gasped. “Give it all to me.” She was daring him, fully aware she was at the mercy of his powerful strokes, but she didn’t care.He let out a deep growl, his hand slipping between her legs, his fingers finding her clit. She cried out as he began to stroke her, matching the rhythm of his thrustsThe intensity was too much, the feeling of him filling her, the sensation of his fingers on her most sensitive spot, the heat of his body against hers. It was all too much.Something primal awakened in her, and she welcomed every wild, untamed sensation.On and on they went, their bodies colliding with unrelenting passion as the sound of flesh meeting flesh filled the lakeside, but neither of them noticed.Alex was utterly lost in the moment, his thrusts growing erratic, the pleasure threatening to unravel them both. Ava’s nails dug into the sheets as she cried out, unable to hold back after minutes of intense pounding.“Alex, please~! I'm going to...I'm gonna-!"Her words

Chapter: 135. Just Let Go..."Take me," Ava urged Alex, her voice thick with desire.He groaned, positioning himself at her entrance. "As you wish, my lady," he murmured in response.Alex's voice was filled with desire, his restraints gone. The air between them pulsed with heat, the full moon enhancing the magnetic pull they felt for each other.Ava's body responded instantly, craving more of his touch, needing to feel the closeness between them deepen. She arched toward him, and his erection brushed against the opening of her core.Her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, and his lips met hers in a hungry kiss.The heat between them skyrocketed as she kissed him back, losing herself in his taste, the feel of his hands sliding down her back, pulling her closer.His scent overwhelmed her senses, and she felt Aurelia come forward. The wolf’s desire mingled with hers, intensifying their connection.She wanted more.She needed more.Alex growled low in his throat, his hand slipping to her waist. With a gr

Chapter: 134. So Responsive...Ava's lips were still warm from their kiss when they pulled away to catch their breath. The porch light cast a gentle glow on her soft eyes. Alex rested his forehead against hers, speaking softly and cautiously. “Can we take this inside?” he asked.She didn’t answer with words.Instead, she kissed him again, slowly, deliberately. And when she pulled back, her fingers gently slipped into his, and she stood.Without a word, she turned and led him through the house, her hand holding his steady and sure.The hallway was quiet, the only sound the faint creak of the floorboards and the rhythmic hum of waves outside. They passed Pearl’s closed door, where the soft glow of her nightlight lit the space beneath it.Ava paused for half a heartbeat, her gaze lingering on the gap. But when she heard the peaceful rustle of her daughter shifting in bed, she gave the door a silent nod and continued forward.Alex followed her down the hallway until they reached their bedroom.The door clicked softly s

Chapter: 133. Therapy...The sea wind hit Ava’s… now, Sarah’s face, the moment they stepped out of the car. It carried the briny scent of saltwater and the faint musk of damp pine, curling around the edges of her jacket and stirring something old and instinctual in her chest. The coastal town ahead was sleepy, with its shuttered shops and lazy gulls overhead. The streets were narrow and uneven, the asphalt patchy in places where grass grew through the cracks like weeds too stubborn to die.The house was perched just beyond a weatherworn picket fence. Paint peeled from the siding in long, curling flakes. Ivy crept up one side like fingers trying to reclaim it. A mailbox hung open, rusted and crooked on its hinges.Pearl, now Lily, stood on the bottom porch step, clutching her stuffed bear, eyes darting warily down the street. Even here, in this quiet haven, the fear hadn’t left her face; it clung to her like a second skin.Ava carried only two suitcases, light despite everything they held. She hadn’t packed

Chapter: 107. Friendly conversation?...The days after her confrontation with Leo passed in a haze of confusion and regret for Chloe. She hadn’t meant to push him away with her words. All she wanted was honesty—a glimpse into the shadows he seemed to live in. Yet, she had managed to create a chasm between them.She shook her head as she sat in her office, braille documents under her fingers. It was foolish to keep thinking about him. She didn’t have the luxury to let herself get distracted—not now, not with everything else spiraling around her. Perhaps it was the universe’s way of telling her to focus on herself and the challenges ahead.Still, every so often, her mind would wander, and she would find herself wondering where Leo was. Was he angry? Hurt? Or worse—indifferent?Her frustration simmered as the hours wore on. By the time Marcus helped her into the car that evening, Chloe felt the exhaustion weighing on her, both physically and emotionally.“Rough day?” Marcus asked as he slid into the driver’s seat.“Rough wee

Chapter: 106. Business man or ex-military?Chloe's gentle breathing created a calm atmosphere in the still living room while Leo tucked the blanket around her shoulders. Her head lay gently on the soft pillow, her face calm in sleep. For the first time in what seemed like days, she appeared genuinely relaxed, causing him to pause before stepping away from her.As soon as he went outside, the calm appearance faded away. The cool evening air touched his skin, but it did not calm the restless energy flowing inside him. His thoughts raced, each one more intense than the previous, as he walked toward the side of the house where Anton was waiting.“Anton,” Leo said, his voice sharp.Anton moved out from the dark corner of the patio, his big body fitting well into the low light. “He’ll be here soon,” he said, his deep voice calm and steady.Leo nodded, his jaw clenched as he folded his arms. “Okay. I would like this completed promptly.”Their tension was clear as the minutes went by, broken only by the soft chirping of crickets. Le

Chapter: 105. Step up or fall apart...“And yet, you’re still here,” he teased gently, brushing a strand of hair from her face.Chloe’s lips curved into a genuine smile, the weight on her shoulders feeling just a little lighter. For the first time in weeks, she allowed herself to hope—not just for a resolution to her troubles, but for something more.Leo’s hand lingered on Chloe’s cheek, his thumb brushing lightly against her skin. The intensity of the kiss they’d just shared hung in the air between them, thick and electric. Chloe’s breath was uneven as she tilted her head slightly, her lips curving into a faint, self-conscious smile.“Leo,” she began, her voice soft but steady, “I—”Whatever words she had been about to say were cut off as Leo leaned in again, his lips capturing hers in a kiss that was as deliberate as it was tender. This time, there was no hesitation, no unspoken tension—only the quiet reassurance of two people finding solace in each other. Chloe’s free hand slid up to rest on his chest, feeling the stead

Chapter: 104. Riddles and bad jokes...Leo King sat in his office, scrolling through his phone while sipping his usual black coffee. The sharp taste of the drink combined with the usual flow of emails created a clear difference from the surprising news alert that suddenly appeared on his screen.BREAKING NEWS: WESTBROOK ENTERPRISES INTERIM CEO ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT.Leo’s heart sank. Chloe. He set the coffee cup down with a soft clink, his jaw tightening as he read further. Every line painted her as a calculating executive funneling funds into offshore accounts. It was a clear attack, and yet the media presented it as gospel truth.Without hesitation, he dialed her number. Chloe picked up after a couple of rings, her tone steady but tired. “Leo.”“Chloe, I just saw the news. What’s going on?”“I don’t know who’s behind this,” she began, her voice measured but tinged with frustration. “Someone planted false evidence. Marcus and Adam are helping me—”“I don’t care what the media says,” Leo interrupted firmly. “I care ab

Chapter: 103. Jealous scandal...The mall buzzed with the usual hum of activity: children’s laughter echoing from the play area, the faint clinking of plates from the food court, and the soft strains of background music weaving through the air. Sofia Sawyer strolled through the upscale shopping district, her heels clicking against the polished floor. She carried an aura of determination, masking the simmering bitterness she’d harbored since her last encounter with Chloe.She turned into a designer store, her fingers brushing over racks of meticulously crafted garments. Sofia hardly noticed the clothes—her mind was too busy running through scenarios to regain control of her crumbling image. She needed leverage, an edge against Chloe.“...She thinks she’s untouchable,” a sharp voice cut through Sofia’s thoughts.Sofia turned slightly toward the sound, her curiosity piqued. Near the store’s expansive glass windows stood Nancy Greyson, phone pressed to her ear. Nancy’s body language was as cutting as her tone—shoulder

Chapter: 102. Gifts returned...The sound of tires crunching against gravel echoed through the Westbrook mansion driveway, drawing Chloe’s attention from her seat in the drawing room. The faint creak of the front door followed moments later, and Marcus’s measured footsteps approached.“Miss Chloe,” Marcus said from the doorway, his tone careful. “A delivery has arrived for you. It’s... several large boxes.”Chloe tilted her head slightly. “From whom?” she asked, her fingers instinctively tightening around her cane.Marcus hesitated. “Mr. Dan Sawyer.”The name made her chest tighten, her pulse quickening. She forced herself to remain calm, though her voice sharpened. “What’s in the boxes?”“Baby items,” Marcus replied evenly. “A crib, toys, clothes… a few other things. It looks like he was preparing for the child.”Chloe’s lips pressed into a thin line. Her heart sank, and her anger simmered just beneath the surface. “Return them,” she said coolly. “The truck left already, Miss.”“Then call another delivery service
