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

Selina’s POV My heart hammered against my chest the moment we were asked to kiss. My gaze darted towards Gladia. I could see the look on her face. A look trying to remind me not to screw this up for whoever in the body I was using. But still, I could feel it. Anger.It crawled beneath my skin like fire ants, biting, stinging, reminding me of every moment I had died alone. The betrayal I had felt when Keiran pronounced my sentence. The hall faded.The cheers.The noise coming from the whispering of the elders. All of it became distant noise compared to the thunder of my heart.Kieran stepped closer allowing me to have a perfect look of the man who killed me. His hand lifted, hesitating for a fraction of a second before it reached my face.That single moment of hesitation told me everything.He wasn’t sure.Not of Beth.Not of this.Not of me.His fingers brushed against my cheek, and my breath caught in my throat. His touch was warm, firm, and familiar.My stomach twisted violen

Selina's pov As I walked through the hallway of the gigantic palace, I couldn't help but wonder why Beth had decided to run away from a move home as Alpha Marcus's palace.I could hear the servants whispering and of course, I could feel their gaze landing on me each time I took a step. " Hurry princess! They are waiting." A servant said as she hurried past me with a tray of drinks. I gulped down the thick lump at the back of my throat. Letting out a gentle sigh when I reach the entrance to the main hall. I could see the guards standing firm the moment they laid their eyes on me. " Breath, Selina. Breath." I said gently to myself throwing my new long hair backwards. I was not only Selina anymore. I was something more than that. I was now playing two parts. One was the revenge for myself and the other was a stupid love Beth was having for Keiran. Either way, I was torn apart. Between my revenge and love. I shut my eyes and imagine daggering Kieran for killing me and for not t

Selina's pov My mind hit hard against my chest. The thought of having my secret out in the open scared the hell out of me. Gladia moved slightly back to my front. " Who are you?" she asked with her eyebrows arched. I coughed. I slowly scratched my head and tried to avoid her gaze. I could tell she saw something. Probably something Elizabeth had that I didn't. Was it my attitude? What was it? " Why are you being wired, Gladia?" I asked " Weird? How? You have been the weirdo, princess. I still don't understand why you have been acting all strange ever since Alpha Keiran got here. All you have always wanted was to leave the pack. But now, you seem like a different person entirely." Gladia got up slowly from my side. The water dripped from her hand to the floor. " I am your princess, Gladia. The same girl you have known all your life." I whispered slowly. " No you are not. You are different and you need to tell me how." Gladia turned. My heat jumped a bit. Just

Selina's pov I bet done slowly and began to pick up the little shard of glasses on the floor. Blood oozed out of the cut reminding me that I was not dead but alive. Maybe that was the reminder that I needed. The door opened and Marcus walked in. I turned to look at the man who was supposed to be my father. I could feel the anger directed towards him. The same one I had when I was standing in front of Keiran. " What are you doing?" Marcus asked " I..I...the glass broke." I managed to speak. " Gladia!" Marcus yelled, his hand reaching out for mine. I flinched as he walked closer grabbing my hands. " You are a princess. You give commands and don't forget that." [ Door burst open ] Gladia walked in immediately and gasped. She looked at the floor and saw it was filled with broken glasses and a bit of my blood. " I need this cleared. Also, make sure she is cleaned and bathed yet again. The elders are waiting and I won't like to have them wait for too long." Marcus orde

Kieran’s POV The sound of glass shattering made her flinch a bit. For a split second, instinct overpowered everything else. I reached for her. “Elizabeth—” Her back had hit the mirror harder than she probably intended. Fractures spidered outward from the point of impact, distorting her reflection into a dozen broken versions of the same woman. Shards rained down around her feet, glittering like fallen stars. But she didn’t flinch. She didn’t cry out. She didn’t look afraid. She looked furious and I could tell the hatred and anger was directed towards me. And that… that unsettled me more than the broken glass. I stopped just inches away from her. Close enough to feel the heat of her breath. Enough to notice the way her pulse beat wildly at the base of her throat. Three months ago, Elizabeth would have been happy to see me. Jumped into my arms like I was the only one that mattered or probably like I was her ticket out of this place but now, this woman didn't. “You’re

Selina’s POVMy heart beat loud as the door shut quietly behind us. The air around me felt suffocating. It was like I couldn't breathe. Now it was just the two of us. The man who had watched me die.And the woman I was pretending to be.Kieran didn’t move at first. He simply stood there, studying me like I was a puzzle that needed to be solved.“You look at me like you know me,” he said finally, his hands going to the back of his neck. I let out a soft, humorless laugh. “Do I?”“Yes.” His jaw tightened. “Not like a stranger. Not like someone promised to me for political gain. You look at me like I’ve wronged you before." My gaze narrowed as my nails dug into my palms. I had to be careful. I couldn’t let my emotions outrun my mind.“You’re imagining things, Alpha,” I said calmly.“Stop calling me that. I am your bethroted, remember? Your mate." he corrected, his steps slowly moving forward. The command slipped out before he could stop himself.His own reaction surprised him.My hea

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’
