Chapter: One Last Card Xenia’s POV I yanked the door open and slammed it shut behind me, harder than I meant to, hard enough that the whole damn car shook with the impact and Lilith flinched beside me like I’d actually hit her instead of the door.“What the bloody hell?” she muttered, staring at me like I’d grown a second head.“She didn’t help us,” I said flatly. My voice sounded hollow even to me.Lilith let out a shaky breath and rubbed both her temples. She was clearly exhausted, physically, mentally, emotionally and everything-overloaded. “I really don’t know what to do anymore,” she mumbled. “I really thought she was going to help us, you said she was going to help us.”“Hey, calm it down, okay?” I snapped without thinking. “I thought she would too. It’s not like I planned for her to start spewing cryptic nonsense.”Lilith shook her head. “We walked miles through that creepy-ass forest just for her to tell us we’re doomed? What the actual hell was that?”“Shit,” I muttered, gripping the steering whee

Chapter: DesperationLilith’s POVXenia’s grip on my wrist was so tight it almost numbed my hand. I barely had time to process anything before she yanked me down the hallway like someone running from a fire. My feet skidded against the tiles as I stumbled after her.“Xenia, what are you doing?” I managed to say, breath catching.“Just shut up and get in,” she snapped, practically throwing me toward her car.She flung open the passenger door of her sleek black BMW and glared at me like I was wasting precious seconds of her life.“We’re going to the witch,” she said flatly. “Now.”I stared at her, stunned. “We said we’d go in two days.”She spun around so fast her hair whipped over her shoulder. The look she gave me showed frustration.“Two days?” she barked. “You actually think you have two days left?”I blinked, confused. “What are you—”“Lilith.” She stepped closer, eyes blazing. “I saw your hair.”I touched my still-damp strands instinctively.“I saw your uniform,” she hissed. “The stain and the smell,

Chapter: Worst DayLilith’s POV I should have stayed home today. That was the first thought that hit me the moment I stepped onto campus and felt eyes latch onto me. They weren’t even pretending, it was so obvious. It felt like every pair of eyes was a spotlight I didn’t ask for, and each one burned in its own way.Oh moon goddess… they were back.I tugged my sleeves down, tightened my grip on my bag, and kept my face pointed toward the ground, pretending I wasn't moved.Even though a part of me wanted to see him, Griffin, but the humiliation that follows, especially If he was around Lena, it would only make it worse and that kind of pain I wasn’t sure I’d recover from today.I forced myself to keep walking, head low.Somewhere behind me, someone whispered, “Is she seriously coming back here like nothing happened?”Another voice answered, “Maybe she thinks the magic worked and Griffin’s still obsessed with her.”Someone laughed.My fingers tightened around my bag strap.I knew ignoring them was the rig

Chapter: CrossfireDonald’s POVI spotted Xenia limping across the walkway just outside the faculty building, her steps stiff, and rushed like she was trying to pretend nothing was wrong. Her brows were scrunched up in that way they always were when she was irritated, tight, like every second was testing her patience.“Xenia?” I called out, quickening my pace.She didn’t hear me at first. Or maybe she did, and she was just too wrapped up in whatever anger was boiling inside her. I ended up jogging the last few steps to catch up.“What the hell happened to you?” I asked, reaching her side.She startled slightly but still didn’t answer. Instead, she winced and waved her hand in that dismissive way she always did when she didn’t want to acknowledge weakness. Before she could brush me off again, I slipped a hand under her arm, steady and gentle, and guided her toward the nearby bench.“Sit,” I said quietly.She didn’t argue, that alone told me something was wrong.As she sat down, I crouched in front of her

Chapter: The Art of Not CaringLena’s POVProfessor Mako was on one of his usual tangents again, this time using scenes from adult romance e-books to “teach emotional expression in speech.”Honestly, sometimes I wondered if he even remembered we were a university class and not actors auditioning for some dramatic, unnecessarily steamy theater play.“And then,” he read dramatically, raising a brow as if the next line held the key to life itself, “he pressed her against the wall, his voice low, ‘Do you want me to stop?’”Half the class froze, the other half tried not to choke on laughter and a few openly stared at their desks like they were contemplating dropping out.He was a character, this man. The way he read steamy scenes with that overly serious tone, like he was breaking down a Shakespearean tragedy instead of describing someone getting pinned against a wall, honestly, it was impossible to stay composed. The lecture room was definitely vibrating with secondhand embarrassment.I bit the inside of my cheek, tryi

Chapter: My WomanGriffin’s POV The campus was chaotic, as usual on the first day back. You could practically smell the tension in the air, like smoke before a fire, and honestly, I didn’t even care.I stepped out and walked around to open Lena’s door. The crowd had already begun to form, phones up, cameras flashing, murmurs rippling through groups of students, the usual theater of the entitled and curious. I ignored it all. The door opened, and there she was, my mate, the woman who made the world slow down and speed up at the same time, my Lena. Beautiful, composed, and calm, even when everyone else was losing their minds, she wasn't amused by the crowd or even flinch. I leaned in and kissed her. Let them look, Let them burn. They could say whatever they wanted, let them think this was some staged drama, a game to keep them wondering.Cameras clicking, students calling out. “There comes the Alpha!” someone screamed, and I didn’t flinch. I didn’t need to. “God, they look like a match made in the moo

Chapter: CHAPTER 205Blake's POV I stood in front of the altar watching her walk over to me. This time around, I was certain there would be no Isabella to crash the wedding, nor my father to make silly scheming plots. This was just me and Helen, saying our vows and tightening the bond that held us together.My mom, her dad, Dominic, Elizabeth, and Felicia were all in attendance. It was a small ceremony composed of all the people that mattered. This was exactly what she had envisioned and I was super glad that we had managed to bring it to life. "Hey." She beamed at me as soon as I clasped my hands in hers. "Hey," I replied to her and led her up to the altar.We both faced each other and even though we were surrounded by quite a few people, she was the only one I could see right now. God, my entire world is composed of her. It was so interesting how I had gone from not caring about any woman at all to caring about one woman so much and the little life she was growing within her.Yeah, you heard that ri

Chapter: CHAPTER 204Blake's POV I quickly parked in front of the shelter Jeffery had sent me the location of. The police were still on their way according to their last report. I was advised to stand down and wait until they got here, but I just couldn't. This was Helen we were talking about for God's sake. I was not ready to let any harm come to her. My private security was with me, and that was all the protection I would need. I could hear the sounds of gunshots, and I was certain it was Jeffrey and the small team he had brought here to work. "Sir, I would need you to stay here in the vehicle while we go out there and assess the situation. As soon as it is safe for you to come out, I will let you know." The head of Helen's bodyguards said. I shot the man a harsh glare, reminding him that all of this was half his fault. If only he had ignored all her silly warnings and stayed with her, none of this would be happening. "Fine, you can come with us, but you need to stay behind me at all times." He wa

Chapter: CHAPTER 203Helen's POV "Please just let me go. I promise you that I would not say a word about this to anyone." I said after the bodyguard was done tying me up. "Unfortunately, that is not possible. Blake and all the security agencies are already looking for you. If they find you, they would hound you for the truth and you would sing like a canary. I can not afford to have you rat me out to the police." The old man said. "I won't mention your name. Look, we can pin it on Isabella. I will tell them I managed to escape from her and that will be all. Please, just let me go. Remember that I am your son's wife." I said and quickly regretted that. He hated the fact that I was Blake's wife. I was supposed to be a constant source of irritation for Blake and not the woman whom he loves with his all. It was crazy and annoying all at the same time. "Well, I never wanted you to get married to my son in the first place. Moreover, with what you have done to Isabella, I think it is only fair that you suff

Chapter: CHAPTER 202Helen's POVI fretted as I watched my sister go unconscious beneath me. I grabbed her hand and tried to wake her up, but she wasn't responding. I could not tell if I had killed her or not and I felt really bad. "Helen, you need to get a hold of yourself. You didn't kill her. Even if she is dead, it is not your fault. You are simply trying to escape." I said to myself, trying to calm my racing heart down. How quickly everything had changed was still a surprise to me. Who would have thought that the reason why my sister hated me so much was because I was pretty and good? All my life, I had thought I was not good enough and it was the reason why they all hated me. Well, now I know the truth and if I managed to escape from here today, I would never listen to her again. "You would not have been in this situation if you had just listened to Blake," I said to myself as I walked towards the door that led out of the bunker. The path leading to it was slant, helping to make it easy for on

Chapter: CHAPTER 201Isabella's POV I walked from one corner of the bunker to the other, thinking of the best way to kill Helen. I had not expected that Blake would be so swift in his search for Helen. I had assumed that I would have enough time to torture her well enough to make her death memorable. But with Mike's call, I had to rush all of this, and it would no longer be any fun for me. "You know, instead of prancing from one corner to the other, you should kill me and get done and over with this." Helen hissed at me from behind me. I turned around, faced her, and brushed my teeth."You are funny, you know that right? You are my prisoner and I can do whatever it is that I want to do to you. You have absolutely no right to tell me what to do. If I want to kill you, then I will kill you right now and here." I hissed at her, my hate for her multiplied in multiple dimensions. "Then kill me now and get done and over with it." She spat at me. I touched the thick, slimy liquid she had thrown on my face

Chapter: CHAPTER 200Blake's POV "So what exactly is it that she has against you that would make you release her from prison when she had tried to kill your son?" I asked him. He was my dad and ought to have my back all the time, so why was he betraying me? Did he hate me so much that he was willing to work with my enemy? "Something against me?" He raised a brow. "Oh, please, stop acting like I am a fool. I know you well enough. You would not free her if she didn't have something incriminating against you.”“Trust me, Skylar isn't so valuable to you that you would free her for no reason. She must have something against you and you must tell me what it is right now." I hissed at him."And if I refuse to tell you?" He raised a brow."Trust me, Dad, you don't want to cross me." I threatened. He sighed and fell into his chair. "Fine. We were lovers. She managed to get a couple of recordings against me and threatened she would leak them out to the public if I didn't help her. Now, there you have it. That
