Elena Pov The word hung there—Syndicate—like a curse.My throat felt tight. I didn’t say anything. Couldn’t. The stranger’s voice still echoed in my ears, but all I could see was Alessandro lying pale and unmoving by the riverbank, his chest rising only slightly, like the air itself hesitated before entering his lungs.Back to that place?The place that haunted his nightmares, that twisted his voice into something hollow and sharp every time he spoke of it?Everything inside me screamed no.But there was no time to scream. No time to beg for another option. The whir of helicopters still lingered in the distance—closer, angrier. If I hesitated now, I’d lose him.“Let’s go,” I said, the words catching in my throat.The stranger didn’t smile. He just nodded once and turned back into the forest.I bent down, my arms trembling, and gathered Alessandro against me. His skin was cold against mine. My body felt like it had been shattered into pieces—but I moved anyway. I moved because I had t

Elena Pov The helicopter’s roar cuts through the canopy above us, a violent sound that sends my heart racing. My first instinct is to hide—to get off the open ground and into cover. But the trees are no longer enough. The sound is closer, the engine low and vibrating the air. I look to the stranger, watching as he stiffens, curses under his breath. The look on his face shifts—utterly focused, eyes narrowing like a predator’s. His grip on his weapons tightens."We’ve been found," he mutters.My stomach drops like a rock.The forest around me feels like it’s closing in. We’ve only just made it this far, and now they’re here. I can’t lose Alessandro now. I won’t. The fear that gnaws at me is insatiable, but there’s no time for panic. Not yet. Not until we’re safe. But with every second that passes, I can feel the threat getting closer—coming for us."Go!" the stranger barks, his voice snapping through my frenzied thoughts. “We don’t have time! They’ve got thermal vision—we need cover!”

Elena povThe figure in the cave entrance looms like a specter, cloaked in darkness. My heart stops, my breath catching in my throat. His voice cuts through the silence, commanding and chilling. “Come with me—if you want him to live.” The words reverberate in my mind, each one a jagged shard of fear, and I can’t move, can’t think. My eyes flick between him and Alessandro, who’s slumped against the cave wall. The weight of the moment is suffocating. My instincts scream at me to run, but where? My only choice is to decide—quickly—if I’m going to trust him, or if this is the trap I’ve been fearing.He doesn’t move, doesn’t even flinch as I stare at him, but his presence fills the entire space. It's overwhelming, suffocating, like the air itself has thickened. His eyes bore into me, but I can’t read him. The seconds stretch, dragging with the weight of everything hanging in the balance. Save Alessandro. But trust this man? My body is frozen between fear and desperation. I can’t afford t

The air in the cave felt thick with tension, each breath Elena took a struggle against the weight of fear pressing on her chest. But it was the voice—her name, whispered through the trees—that was the true torment. It was familiar, a sound that should have been comforting. But instead, it rattled through her bones like a cold wind.“Elena…”Her heart stuttered in her chest. The voice was unmistakable, too clear to be mistaken. But it wasn’t a voice that should be calling her.“Elena…” The sound slithered through the darkened forest, soft and echoing, growing closer with each passing second.The breath caught in her throat as she tightened her grip on Alessandro’s hand. His fingers felt cold beneath hers, the warmth of life slipping away with every second. She couldn’t let fear paralyze her, not now, not when they were so close to safety.But she was terrified. Terrified of the voice—terrified of what it meant. It was the kind of fear that held her in place, immobilizing her, as if ans

Elena Pov The forest is still.Still in that terrifying way—where silence feels too complete, too deliberate. Every leaf is holding its breath. Even the wind seems to hesitate.I crouch low beside Alessandro, his body slumped against the thick roots of a gnarled tree. His breath is shallow, ragged—each exhale a whisper against my ear. My hand trembles as I press against his chest, checking for warmth, for movement. He’s alive, but barely.Then I hear it.That voice.Calm. Icy. Controlled."Run all you want. We always find you."It’s not a threat. It’s a promise.My heart slams against my ribs like a trapped animal, and for a brief moment, I can’t breathe. I glance through the foliage. Nothing. Just darkness. Trees. Shadows that could be anything. Or anyone.But I feel it. We’re surrounded.I grip the dagger tighter in my hand and turn to Alessandro. “We have to move,” I whisper, though I know it’s a miracle he’s still conscious. His lips part, but no words come. Just a groan. Pain, f

Elena povI hold my breath, the sound of the footsteps above the bunker reverberating through my entire body. The silence that follows feels heavier than anything I’ve ever known. Every muscle in me is tense, aching from exhaustion, but my mind is sharp. The knife in my hand is cold, and my fingers tremble against the handle. Stay calm, I tell myself.I press my ear to the floor of the bunker, straining to hear through the thick wood. Every second feels like an eternity. I wish I could see what’s happening above us—wish I could know who’s there. But I can’t. All I know is that they’ve found us. I hear the faint sound of something moving—a shift in the air, a shadow crossing the cracks in the ceiling. It’s not the hunter.My stomach drops. Shadow Blades. The very people I’ve feared for days now. They’ve come for us, and this time, there’s no running.I try to steady my breathing. The muffled sounds of their footsteps are precise, measured. Cold. They know what they’re doing. These are

" Do you think this is going to work?" Sheila asked staring at her father. Penelope stared at James for quite a while, " How can you sign away years of labour? Are you nuts?!" she yelled " He has us in his palms. Hawkins knows everything, down to the last bank accounts." he replied Sheila stared at the television. " Do you think she is still alive?" Penelope shakes her head, " After all this while, why does that bitch need to come at us now!" James relaxed into the chair he sat on. His gaze slightly shows he understands the situation. " Because she has been boxed into a corner. She took everything maltreatment without complaining hoping things were going to get better and now, she is back to give everything she had endured in ten fold." Gerald said nothing but simply stared at the image of the daughter he loathed. " When I find her.." he said with his hands clenched. " I am going to squeeze the life out of her." James smirked. "There is a difference, Mr Gerald. if y

Dennis walked into the room with a triumphant smile on his face. "I told you this was going to be easy," he said, falling to the sofa close to him."No, Dennis. I know my family. They aren't going to back down. James is going to try and counterattack or, at the worst, trust something stupid. He always does."Dennis's brow furrowed. "Like the gun he brought out today?" "He brought a gun?" I asked, lifting my gaze from the file.A man like him is dubious. Besides, I can't wait to hear that your sister is going to leave him," Dennis replied. I shook my head and tilted it backwards. "You still don't know my family, Dennis. They are the weirdest human beings I have ever known. Sheila is never going to let go of James. She sees him as a trophy." I saidI looked at the file, and I was pleased. I had seventy percent of everything back. They were in my name, but that was not enough. I want my family to suffer the same fate that I have. I want my father to fall at my feet and apologize, t

I simply sat on the comfort chair with a drink in my hand. Watching James and my sister try and save the little they had was fun. I have never seen her so scared. The thought of going back to a poor state scared the hell out of her. But I didn't pity them. They had stolen everything from me. My home, my mother and the wealth she left behind for me. I was not going to watch anymore. I was going to fight and show them how much I was going to make them suffer. I watched as James sighed the document and pushed it across the table. " It is done." Hawkins said into the coms. " Also, tell them they are dropping the cars too. Everything they had today was all thanks to my dead mother. I am going to be taking more than half of everything they have." I said again Hawkins relaxed, a gentle smile played on his lips. "Is that all?" James asked " All? No. This is actually the beginning of a long term business between the two of us actually." Hawkins replied." What do you mean? We didn't

James held her gaze, but there was something fractured behind his eyes now. A secret he has kept for many years was now about to be blown right in his face. It was supposed to be simple but Sheila's father was smarter. James thought he was going to be handling everything to his daughter but instead Gerald didn't. For a moment, he said nothing.Then he laughed.It wasn’t humor. It was exhaustion.“You still think this is about me alone,” he said quietly, shaking his head. “That’s the problem, Sheila. It stopped being just about me the moment you said ‘I do.’”Sheila stiffened, her fingers tightening again around the pen. “Then start talking,” she snapped. “No more half-truths.”James stared at her. He knew the moment he told her the truth then he was going to lose his grip, lose his hold over her. He never loved her anyways. It was all about the inheritance. It was almost about getting his share out of the Gerald siphon from his late wife. That was his plan and it was quite simple.

" What is he talking about?" Sheila asked James gaze slowly left Hawkins and landed on Sheila who was a bit jittery. " You don't need to listen to whatever he says. My name's James Howard and that is it!" " Is it?" Hawkins said laughing. James knew he was caught in Hawkins trap again. " Fine! Where do I sign!" Sheila rushed toward him and grab the pen. " And you think we don't need to talk about this?" she snapped. James frowned.." Can you give us a minute?" he asked looking at Hawkins.Hawkins simply laughed and got to his feet. " Of course. You have all the time you want. Let me know what you decide to do but mind you..." he took a pause. " You don't have a choice." The door clicked shut behind Hawkins, but the echo of his words lingered like a stain in the room.You don’t have a choice.Sheila turned sharply to James, her grip still tight on the pen as though it were the only thing keeping her grounded. “Explain,” she demanded, her voice lower now, but far more dangerous.

James eyes scanned the document real quick. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets seeing the agreement terms. "Are you for real? What the hell is this?" he shouted. The ball pen he was holding suddenly fell off his hands while he pushed the boom back to the middle of the table. Sheila's gaze went to the centre of the table and he immediately grabbed the book. She read it real fast before her gaze changed into something meaner. " Is this real? You want seventy percent of everything we have laboured for? Why?" she snapped. " Why what?" Hawkins said with amusement in his voice. He snapped his hands into the air again and a girl brought a tray containing a glass bottle for brandy. " Care for a cup of wine?" he asked" Keep your wine, Mr Hawkins. We don't know what we have done for you to be doing this." Sheila said, her eyebrows furrowed. " If I tell you what you, would you have apologized or does that change the fact that what you did was wrong?" Hawkins said again,his han

Lilith’s POVThe moment the word “fine” left her lips, I knew I had her.Not completely.Not yet.But enough.A slow smile spread across my face as I straightened, my fingers trailing away from the cold iron bars of her cage. Gladia’s scent was still sharp in the air—fear, blood… and something else.Defiance.Interesting.Most servants broke faster than that. Most of them begged.Cried.Promised loyalty before I even had to ask.But Gladia?She negotiated. She had some guts. A lady of her which I liked although I didn't show her. I let out a soft chuckle, circling her cage like a predator studying its prey.“You don’t get to make rules,” I said calmly, though my tone carried a quiet warning beneath it.Her jaw tightened, but she didn’t look away.I liked that.It made this far more entertaining.“But…” I continued, stopping right in front of her again, “I admire your courage.”I tilted my head slightly, studying her bruised face, the dried blood at the corner of her lips, the way her

Gladia's povThe moment the guards dragged me away, I stared back with anger.They didn’t take me far—just down the dimly lit corridor that led to the servant quarters. Their grip was firm, almost bruising, but I didn’t struggle.I could tell what was going on.Lilith wanted control. She wanted the same throne that belonged to Princess Beth and I was not going to sit and watch that happen.I am going to make sure Lilith doesn't get what belonged to her but then my wolf caught a stench of dirt.No.Blood." Where are you taking me?" I shoutedThe guards hands were now so strong that I could barely wiggle my small body out of their firm hold." Stay still!" one of the guards shouted.I tried to fight but I was not strong enough.One of them pinned me to the wall while the other pressed his hands against my nose.My heart thudded.Beating so fast that I felt it was going to burst at any time.I whimpered, hoping someone would see us but I was all alone.I could feel the life force draini

Gladia's POV I actually needed to take a leak, but then I needed to also take a breath. The princess's words were absurd, but I can't tell who from whom. She seems to be this woman who had a deep scar, and she is ready to bring down the whole pack if she needs to, and there was this soft part. The real woman who wanted to live her life away from her family and evil stepmother. I stopped suddenly.I was lost. I stared back, and I could hear the faint whisper of the guards. The night was young, but still, I could feel the distress in the air. I could sense danger and the need to be there to protect her. But I didn't know who I needed to face. There was a woman who seemed to be all over the Alpha, and there was her father too, who seemed to want to control everyone and everything in the pack house. Probably trying to get some air wasn't so bad after all. I was lost, but it seems I could find my way back to Princess Beth. My wolf was good at tracking and finding its way back eve

Gladia's pov The moment we were shown into our quarters I sunk into the bed beside me. Princess Beth looked at me and didn't say a word. I wanted to believe it was her. But still, I couldn't explain the business and the audacity. I flashed back to the way she talked down at the strange looking man claimed to be the father of Lilith. Did they know each other or was Princess Beth trying to mark her territory? My gaze went back to the tattoo at her back. One minute it was not there and the next, it was. I coughed. Princess Beth turned back to look at me. " You know you can tell me whatever it is that is going on in your mind." I gulped down slowly. " Is that really you, Princess?" I asked sitting upright She stopped unpacking her clothes and looked at me. " What do you mean is that really me?" I could tell that she was her and not her at the same time. The princess took a seat and stared at me for a while. " I know that you are scared. You should be." "Why? We are

Keiran’s POV The moment her mouth closed around me, my breath hitched. Not because of the touch alone. But because my mind was nowhere near the room. Lilith moved with purpose, her hot breath landing on my well erected manhood. I moaned gently not trying to attract any attention. Elizabeth can't walk in on us but still, I couldn't bring myself to tell her to stop. “Lilith…” I muttered. She pressed herself closer to me, taking my whole manhood into her mouth. [ Lilith coughed ] She raced her head up a bit to look at me, “You’re still thinking about it,” she whispered softly, “You’re supposed to be relaxing.” Relaxing. The word felt foreign in my head. My hands rested on her head now, not stopping her… but still, I could think and talk to her. Lilith raised her head up again. I stared at her face and I could see that she was drooling already. " Can you stop this, Keiran? Stop thinking for a second and enjoy the moment. Don't you miss me?" I looked

Lilith's pov The moment she walked out of the room, my gaze went back to Alpha Keiran. " You want to tell me what the hell was that? Did you just allow her to disregard me and my father?" I yelled in angerMy father looked at the rest of the elders and they immediately walked out of the room.Alpha Keiran got up from his bed. I watched as he winced slightly. " What do you want me to do, Lilith? She is my Luna now." he said coughing. " What? Are you telling me after everything I have done. You still think I am not worthy of being your Luna?" I can't believe I had taken down Selina only to watch another woman steal my spot. " I am never going to love her, Lilith. We both know it is you that I love and wanna be with." Keiran said grabbing my hands. " Don't you dare tell me that! I should have known you never liked me. I told you what she-devil was planning and we killed her. I had thought it was going to be me and now you did this to me?" I got up from his bed side and ran my ha

Kate povEunice walked towards the boys’ room and knocked on it gently. The knob twisted, and the door gave way. It was Nathan who opened the door, and he had to look up to see the tall woman standing before them.Eunice smiled and said, “Hey!”Instead of replying, Nathan turned to his brothers and signaled for them to come over. Jason and Liam strolled over to him and also saw Eunice.“Hey… can I come in?”Jason shrugged, and the boys looked at themselves as if meditating on whether to let her come in or not. Liam opened the door wide for her, and then she walked in.She looked around the room and found it so adorable, then went to sit on the couch in the room. “I’m so sorry I had to disturb you.”The boys went to sit on their beds and were facing her but didn’t say a word.“Don’t you like me? Why are you guys giving me that look?” she asked.“Can I ask our dad who you are?” Nathan asked.“Oh! That… erm… in the past, your dad and I were friends—very close friends. Then he promised th

One of the men appeared all of a sudden and saw one of them on the floor. “What! Bitch!” he shouted, and others began to run towards him. I threw my shoe toward the man, and while he was guarding himself from getting hit, I ran speedily toward the room.The three men in the room ignored me and ran quickly away. I was confused and wondered if I was a ghost. Before I could take another step, I saw Roberto appear.“Find and bring me those men,” he commanded, and his guards ran after them immediately.I was still trying to catch my breath, having just run while trying to escape death. I looked at Roberto blankly and wondered how he found me. He walked toward me and wanted to grab my wrist, but I pulled my hand away. I didn’t want him to touch me. Was he not the one who sent me away and let me get kidnapped? He always punished and made up for mistakes. But what if I had been raped and killed before he found me? I was angry.Roberto then said, “Let’s go home.”“I will find my way home,” I s

My heart thumped so heavily I almost choked to death. “Oh my! You’re a kidnapper!” I realized I had to do something—fast. I attempted to jump on the man’s hand, hoping he would lose control of the steering, but he immediately took his hand off the gear and picked up a small bottle, spraying its content right in my face.Everything went black.I lost consciousness immediately. The driver glanced at my face and grinned as if he had found a prize. Once he parked before an uncompleted house, he jumped out and shouted with glee, “Fucking hurray! We’ll get to fuck a pretty angel!” His disgusting voice echoed in my fading senses.Other men began to walk out, drawn by his voice, eager to see the new catch.Then, a call came through on the man’s phone. I heard him answer it while asking one of his men to help light the cigarette he had just pulled from his pocket.“Have you got her?” Eunice's voice filtered through.“Yes, she’s here. Send my money already,” the driver said, puffing smoke from

Once the work period was over, Roberto walked out and was soon escorted out of the building as usual. He had told me to join him in the garage in two minutes—he didn’t want us walking out together so people in the company wouldn’t assume there was a relationship between us. He couldn’t afford to make whatever was between us public.While I was wrapping up my work and getting ready to leave the office, the door suddenly opened and Eunice walked in.“You bitch!” she spat furiously.I paused what I was doing and looked at her. Then I smirked and calmly continued packing my things. I picked up my small handbag and headed for the exit, but Theresa stretched her arms out to the sides, blocking my path.“Please move out of the way,” I said, trying to stay polite even though I was irritated.“Do you really think Roberto loves you? Hahaha...” she scoffed. “If he loved you, he wouldn’t have made you his mistress. He’s only keeping you around because you’re the mother of his children.”“Thanks f

Kate povWhen I remembered that Roberto once told me that loving any woman was impossible, I thought I might be thinking too far."Can I know how much I will earn as salary?" I asked.Without glancing at me, Roberto answered, "Multiply whatever amount you were to earn monthly as a secretary by two. That will be your salary for the position."My heart almost exploded with happiness. Double my salary? That was huge, and even the work I had to do was very little. This wasn’t even something to be sad about.But rather than using my leisure time to play games, I decided I was going to use it to come up with many amazing designs that might fetch me a huge amount of money in the future."Happy?" Roberto suddenly asked, and I responded instinctively, "Sir?"He paused what he was doing and asked in a clearer tone, "Are you happy that you have an increase in promotion now since your salary has practically doubled?""Kind of," I answered.A knock landed on the door at that moment, and Roberto ge

Kate povIt was late at night when Patricia walked out of her room. She was bored, and truthfully, she had thought she would be living in the same room with Roberto. After all, we were husband and wife. She never foresaw that we would be living separately.She could only reveal her identity after she had a baby for him. That way, no matter how angry he got, he wouldn’t be able to easily chase her away because she’d have a child for him.She impatiently walked towards the master bedroom. She knocked on the door gently but got no response. She knocked again and again, wondering if Roberto was inside or not.“Hello,” a majestic voice sounded behind her, and she turned at once. Seeing Roberto standing tall before her, her heart skipped, and she swallowed hard.“Hi,” she smiled. “I felt lonely in my room and decided to come and check on you.”“I don’t like people intruding into my privacy. I’m a very busy man, I hope you can understand that?” Roberto asked.“Yes, sure. But I also hope you’
