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

I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband
Most kids want toys, candy, or a new puppy. Pearl Reed wants a dad.
And not just any dad—she wants Detective Alex Ramos.
Ava Reed is perfectly happy as a single mother. By day, she’s a world-class surgeon, running the most prestigious private hospital in the city. By night, she’s The Godmother, ruling one of the most dangerous mafia syndicates in the country.
Saving lives on one end. Taking them on the other.
Romance? Not on her agenda.
But when her too-clever-for-her-own-good daughter pulls off the matchmaking stunt of the century, Ava finds herself sitting across from a man who is as charming as he is infuriating.
Alex never saw it coming. One second, he was working a case. The next? He was being blackmailed by an eight-year-old into dating her mother.
One fake date? Fine.
One viral post announcing their engagement? Not fine.
Being summoned for dinner by an eight-year-old with a five-step plan to make him fall in love with her mom?
…Yeah, he’s in trouble.
Ava has no interest in love.
Alex has no interest in marriage.
But Pearl? Pearl has other plans.
And when Pearl sets her mind on something, not even a mafia war can stop her.

Chapter: 022. Late Night Lecture...The phone call had barely ended when Alex spotted movement in his rearview mirror.A man emerged from behind a tall hedge near the front gate of the Reed estate, standing in the warm light of the security lamps. He wore a nice, dark long coat, and he didn’t seem to be trying to hide; he was simply waiting.Alex’s hand hovered near his holster as he stepped out of the car and closed the door behind him.“Something I can help you with?” Alex called out, casually but not carelessly.Rafael stepped forward, hands in his coat pockets. “I could ask you the same.”Alex didn’t move. “You’re Ava’s assistant. Rafael, right?”“Among other things.”There was an awkward silence between them, a tense moment that pretended to be a conversation. The wind rustled through the trees by the estate walls, the only sound filling the gap for a while.“I’m not here for trouble,” Rafael finally said, stepping a little closer. “But if you’re going to keep showing up at that door pretending to be something you’

Chapter: 021. Feigning Curiosity...Ava tilted her head slightly, watching him. “Can I ask you something?”Alex gave her a slow grin. “Isn’t that what dates are for?”She didn’t return the smile. “Why’d you become a cop?”He paused, fork halfway to his mouth. “Wow. Jumped right past favourite colour and childhood pets, huh?”“I figured they don’t really say much about you,” she replied with a neutral shrug. “Besides, you strike me more as a rescue-dog-than-hamster type anyway.”That made him chuckle. He set his fork down, leaning forward with his forearms braced on the edge of the table. For a moment, he looked thoughtful, like he was sorting through something. But the truth—well, his version of it—came easily now. He’d rehearsed it so many times it felt real.“My mom used to run a little diner in the south end,” he said, his tone gentler now. “One day, someone came in with a knife and tried to rob the register. I was twelve. I froze. My dad wasn’t around that day. But there was this guy, a regular customer. Off-duty

Chapter: 020. Pretend Date...The drive started quiet.Alex’s car—a sleek, dark hybrid with leather seats that still somehow smelled like pine—glided through the city like it belonged in a movie. Ava sat in the passenger seat, legs crossed, hands folded neatly over her clutch. Her dress shimmered faintly under the ambient dashboard light. And still, all he could think about was how much she looked like she didn’t want to be there.Which was ironic. Because neither did he. Except… he kind of did.“You look like you’re calculating how many exits you’d need to take to fake a kidnapping,” he said lightly, eyes still on the road.“I’m trying to decide if I can fake appendicitis without actually performing surgery on myself,” Ava replied without missing a beat.He laughed. “That’s dark. I like it.”Ava gave a little smirk. “Pearl’s coaching.”“Yeah, I figured. That kid’s going to run for mayor by age ten.”“She’s already lobbying for wedding fireworks and matching tattoos.”Alex side-eyed her. “Tattoos?”“Don’t worry,

Chapter: 019. Helping Mom Dress Up...“Unless it’s a full code, direct anything after six to Dr. Alec,” Ava said, slipping her lab coat off one arm as she moved through the hallway of the ER.The nurse beside her nodded quickly, clipboard in hand, struggling to keep up with Ava’s fast pace.“If it’s something he can’t handle,” Ava continued, already opening her locker, “they can call my emergency line. But only if it’s life-threatening or political. No grey area.”“Yes, Dr. Reed.”Ava buttoned her coat shut and pulled her hair free from the clip. Her shift was technically over. Her nerves, however, were far from clocked out.The memory of Alex’s face in that dark hallway—the sound of his voice, the gun, the brief standoff—still felt intense. He didn’t recognise her, and she was sure of that. But ever since that moment, she’d felt a tightness in her jaw that just wouldn’t disappear.Between a police raid she couldn’t admit to surviving and the fallout of public scandal, she felt like she'd lived three lifetimes in one week

Chapter: 018. Avoiding Arrest...They didn’t move.For a heartbeat, neither blinked nor lowered their weapon. The darkness between was thick, lit only by the flickering remnants of the busted overhead light. Her hood shadowed her face, and Alex could barely make out the shape of her jaw and the firm grip of her gloved hand on the trigger. But he could tell she was calm and wouldn’t hesitate to act."You’re on the wrong turf, Officer," she said coolly, voice slightly altered through some kind of audio modulator. "La Rosa doesn’t appreciate unexpected guests."His aim didn’t falter. “Put the gun down.”She ignored the command entirely, taking one step forward. “This is trespassing, detective. You brought your people into our house, all ready for a fight. And for what? A few crates you don’t understand and a war you’re not built for?”Alex’s eyes narrowed. She spoke clearly and carefully, as if she had done this a hundred times before. And for some odd reason, it felt like she recognised him.“Who are you?” he asked.

Chapter: 017. Police Raid...The briefing room smelled strongly of burnt coffee. You could feel the tension in the air, as if it were gnawing under your skin. Officers in tactical gear filled the benches; some were rubbing their tired eyes, while others fidgeted nervously, already feeling the pre-mission jitters. While some appeared to be still waking up, the majority displayed a glare that indicated their frustration.Nobody enjoyed being summoned at the break of dawn for a raid that was assembled with less than a day's notice.Alex Ramos stood at the front, arms crossed and jaw clenched, looking serious. He was more than just another person in the room; he wasn’t there just to participate in the raid but was the man who had orchestrated it all. “You sure about this intel?” Jenna asked, leaning toward him, her voice pitched low enough to avoid catching the captain’s attention. Her ponytail was still damp from the gym, and she smelled faintly of cinnamon gum and doubt. “An anonymous tip with no ID could be ba

Chloe Greyson’s life was shattered when she learnt she wasn’t the true heiress of the Greyson family, but rather a girl swapped at birth. Cast out, blinded by a brutal attack, and later saved by Dan Sawyer, Chloe believed she found salvation in marriage.
But Dan only wanted her for her blood—a perfect match to keep his comatose lover, Sofia, alive.

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
