•Edward POV•I breathed in the smell of caramel and turned with my eyes still closed. I searched for Juliet in the bed and pulled her close into a cuddle, but something wasn’t right.My eyes snapped open and landed on the unfamiliar room. I looked at the woman sleeping beside me, and froze. It wasn’t Juliet.I jumped to my feet, my heart thudding wildly in my chest. The lady stirred, blinking awake, and that was when it hit me like a nightmare, I was staring at Leyi.“Jeez,” I mumbled as my gaze dropped to my body. I was completely naked. A wave of heat rushed through me, not from shame, but from burning anger. I felt like I could set the whole room on fire with how furious I was. “What did you do, Leyi?”She smiled like this was some kind of joke. “It was such a wild night we had,” she said with a little laugh, standing up without shame. Her naked body flashed before me as she walked over to the bathroom.I didn’t look at her, I reached to the ground to pick up my clothes from the fl

•Edward POV•I stood close to the barricade, staring at the estate view as the cool night air brushed gently against my face, ruffling my hair. I breathed in calmly, letting the silence settle over me, but the ringing tone of my phone distracted me. I looked down at the screen to see who was calling. Seeing that it was Josh, I picked it up."Hello bro, how are you doing?" Josh’s voice came through cheerful and light. I blinked, a little surprised by his tone, since I had expected him to call with a complaint."What's happening? Why are you sounding all cheerful?" I asked curiously.Josh chuckled. "Nothing really. I just figured out that working here in your place isn’t so bad after all.""Why do you say that?" I asked, my gaze dropping to the black SUV pulling into the neighbor’s driveway.Josh sighed like someone about to spill something deep. "Okay, I’ll be honest. I met this girl, she’s one of the staff here. Turns out she loves me… and I love her back too."I rolled my eyes and le

•Juliet POV•We sat in the office, with Edward and I seated across from the Chinese man’s desk, while Vera lounged on a chair near the window. I pulled Jace close, and he rested his head on my chest, my arm wrapped protectively around him.Vera had insisted we wait until we were certain the boy was no longer a threat to Jace. It had been nearly forty minutes when the door finally creaked open, making my head snap toward it. A boy stepped in, or rather, was pushed in. He was slightly taller than Jace and carried a proud, almost smug look on his face. His arms were crossed stubbornly as he hesitated to step fully into the room."Why do you always act this way?" the teacher scolded, giving him a nudge forward. He barely moved.Jace cringed against me, and I bent low to whisper softly in his ear. "I'm here, baby. He won’t hurt you."Edward's voice cut through the air, sharp but low. "So this is the boy who's been bullying my son. I didn’t know little children could be this cruel."The boy

•Juliet POV•I finished up with my schedule for the day and stood, stretching my arms above my head. My eyes drifted to Edward, who was sitting on the couch, still going through the document Josh had sent him. I walked away from my desk and toward him, catching a glimpse of the document's content just before he closed it and looked up at me."I’ve been waiting for you to be done so we can go pick Jace up from school," he said, his voice calm and warm.I smiled and took a seat beside him. "I’m done for today."He reached for my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze before standing, still holding onto it."It’s time for us to go then," he said with a smile. With his other hand, he picked up the document and leaned close to kiss me on the lips. He had been doing that a lot lately, these soft kisses every chance he got. It was starting to feel like a sweet obsession.We walked out of the office together and made our way to the elevator. Just as we were about to step in, I caught sight of Leyi

•Juliet POV•I stared at the file in front of me and scribbled my signature before closing it. I placed it gently on the pile with the others containing the latest designs and leaned back in my chair, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. My neck ached slightly from how long I’d been bent over the desk, but it felt good to be productive.The soft creak of the door caught my attention. I looked up and smiled the moment I saw Edward walking in, with Vera right behind him. My eyes went straight to the small takeout bag in his hand and I smiled.“Thank you, honey,” I said, rising to my feet.He smiled and placed a gentle kiss on my lips before taking my hand in his. His touch never failed to warm me. Vera walked further into the office and set the folder in her hand on my desk, then scooped up the signed ones.“I’ll take these to the production team,” she said with a playful smile. “You lovebirds can have your alone time.”I chuckled as she walked out, shaking my head slightly.Edward and I

•Edward POV•I turned sideways on the bed and stretched my hand out to grab Juliet in a cuddle, but my hand fell on empty space. I opened my eyes, and the ray of light from the morning sun pierced through them, making me shield my face with my palm.I sat up slowly and reached for a pair of gray pants and a black armless top. As I dressed, I looked around the room, wondering where Juliet had gone. It wasn’t until I was halfway to Jace's room that I heard her voice, and then Jace's laughter followed."Really, Mommy? If I learn Chinese, I get to be an influential person?" Jace asked.I stepped forward, leaning against the doorframe. Juliet crouched next to Jace, adjusting the collar of his school uniform with care."Seems you guys are having fun without me," I muttered, and Juliet looked up to meet my gaze."You were sleeping. I didn’t want to wake you," she replied softly, brushing her hand over Jace’s hair before rising to her feet.I walked into the room and slipped an arm around her

{Martha's POV}"Good morning, my queen," Nathan whispered against my ear, his lips brushing my cheek in a feather-light kiss. His voice, deep and husky with sleep, sent a shiver down my spine. I stirred, my lashes fluttering open to meet the soft glow of the morning sun filtering through the curtains."Morning, my love," I murmured sleepily, turning onto my side to face him. A slow smile spread across my lips as he cupped my cheek, his warmth seeping into my skin. He leaned in, pressing a gentle peck to my forehead before pushing himself up from the bed.I stretched, my arms reaching over my head as a deep sigh escaped my lips. For the first time in seven years, I felt truly free, as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. No more battles, no more struggles, I had finally reclaimed what was rightfully mine. And best of all, I was engaged to the most loving, handsome man in the world. Everything was exactly as I had dreamed.Nathan stood by the window, the golden sunlight castin

{Martha's POV}“Thank you, Michael,” Nathan said as he exchanged a handshake with him.I sat there, unmoving, as if I had been glued to my seat. The courtroom was nearly empty now, people filing out in hushed murmurs. I had won. I had fought for justice and reclaimed what was taken from me. But instead of triumph, a hollow ache settled deep within my chest. What I truly longed for, what would have made this victory complete, was seeing my beloved parents again.The bitter truth cut through me like a blade. I had allowed the man who planned their deaths into my life. I had loved him. I had let him and his family treat me like nothing. And now, even though justice had been served, my heart still bled.“Come on,” Carolina’s voice broke through my haze as she positioned herself behind me. “You won the case, Martha. Peter Henderson is finally going to pay for everything he took from you.”I turned to her and forced a thin-lipped smile. “Yes, I won,” I murmured, my voice distant, detached.

{Martha's POV}The blaring sound of my phone shattered the peaceful silence of the early morning. I groaned, rolling over and burying my face into the warmth of Nathan’s chest, hoping the caller would give up. But the ringing persisted, shrill and unrelenting.Nathan stirred beside me, his arm tightening around my waist as he let out a soft sigh. “My love,” he murmured sleepily, pressing a gentle kiss to my temple. “Your phone.”I groaned again, reluctantly stretching my hand toward the nightstand. Without glancing at the caller ID, I grabbed the phone and pressed it against my ear.“Hello?” I mumbled, my voice thick with sleep.“Good morning, Martha.”The familiar voice sent a jolt through my body, instantly dispelling the last traces of drowsiness. My breath caught in my throat. Peter.I sat up abruptly, the sheets pooling around my waist as my pulse quickened. After the incident at the Henderson's mansion and the call to court. Peter and I had never spoke to each other, at some poi

{Martha’s POV}“Come on, let me take you to the room so you can rest,” Nathan said as we pulled away from the hug.I let out a deep sigh, exhaustion settling in as he stood and took my hand. His touch was warm, reassuring, the kind of steady presence I needed right now.“Don’t let this bother you,” he murmured as we made our way toward the stairs. “I’ll talk to Michael about it. While you rest, he and I will continue the investigation.”I squeezed his hand, my voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you so much.”Nathan glanced down at me, his expression firm with certainty. “Peter will get what he deserves, my love. I promise you.”His words carried so much conviction that, for a moment, I almost believed justice was inevitable.When we reached the bedroom, I settled onto the bed, the soft mattress cradling my tired body. Nathan lay beside me, pulling me close until my head rested against his chest. His steady heartbeat beneath my ear was soothing, grounding me in a way nothing else cou

{Martha’s POV}I took a deep breath as my body sank into the plush cushions of the living room couch. A wave of relief washed over me, the familiar scent of home wrapping around me like a warm embrace.I had missed this place, the way the soft glow of the chandelier made everything feel safe, the quiet hum of the city outside the windows, the warmth that lived in these walls. And I also had missed staying in the same roof with Nathan. “I’ll tell Carolina to prepare tea for you,” Nathan murmured, leaning in to place a gentle kiss on my cheek. His lips were warm, lingering for just a moment before he straightened and made his way to the kitchen.I watched him disappear around the corner, my heart aching in a way I couldn’t quite describe.Leaning my head against the armrest, I let my eyes flutter shut, allowing the exhaustion to settle. But just as I began to relax, the vibration of my phone in my pocket snapped me back to reality.I frowned, fishing it out and glancing at the screen.

{Martha's POV}I sat on the couch, gripping the hem of my sweater tightly, trying to suppress the weakness coursing through my body. My limbs felt heavy, exhaustion tugging at me, and the urge to go back to bed was almost unbearable.Nathan's eyes were fixed on me, concern evident in his gaze. “What’s wrong?” he asked after a moment, his voice softer than I expected.I hesitated, shifting slightly under his scrutiny. This Nathan, this gentle, caring version of him, was different from the man who had once pushed me away, convinced that I had no place in his life. The change in him was undeniable.Before I could answer, he stood and crossed the small distance between us. When he reached me, he took my hand in his, his grip warm and reassuring. A shiver ran through me, not from the cold, but from the comforting heat of his touch.His thumb brushed against my knuckles before he reached up, resting his palm lightly against my forehead. His touch was tender, his fingers lingering as if he c

Varg’s POV“Daddy, Mommy said we’re leaving,” Moon’s tiny voice chimed as she padded across the living room, her soft curls bouncing with each step.I smiled down at her, reaching out to lift her onto my lap. She curled against my chest, her warmth settling something deep inside me.“Yes, sweetheart,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “We’re going to the Moon Pack, where your mommy came from.”Bethany entered the room, pushing her father’s wheelchair, her expression composed yet tinged with something unspoken. She settled onto the couch across from me, her eyes steady as she met mine.“Varg,” Tommy said with quiet certainty, “I know you’re going to be a great leader. It’s always been in you, and I’m glad you finally get to step into that role.”I exhaled, a slow, relieved breath. “I just hope things turn out right from now on,” I admitted. The weight of responsibility was still settling over me, but with Thanos gone, the darkness that had loomed over us for so long h

Lyra’s POVA deep voice swept into my subconscious, pulling me from the edge of sleep. I turned the other way, but the cold seeped deeper into my body. My arms wrapped tightly around myself, but it did little to stop the shivers racking through me.I knew I should get up and go to the room, but I couldn't, not when I knew Varg wasn’t there. The bed would feel just as cold, just as empty.A familiar warmth surrounded me suddenly, strong arms lifting me effortlessly. Before I could fully wake, my body was cradled against a solid chest, and a familiar scent wrapped around me like a shield against the cold.My eyes snapped open. “Varg?“He didn't offer a word and carried me down the hallway, his grip firm but careful, his expression unreadable. I let my head rest against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath my ear.When we reached the bedroom, Varg placed me gently on the bed and pulled the blankets over me, tucking them securely around my shoulders.The warm

Lyra’s POV"Bethany… Bethany," I called softly, reaching out to touch her shoulder. But she didn’t flinch. She remained still, lost in her thoughts, her numbness beginning to frighten me."It’s okay," I whispered, kneeling beside her. "Please, let’s go inside before you catch a cold."She lifted her head slowly, her eyes filled with unspeakable pain, but she didn’t move."Please listen to me, Bethany," I pleaded. "I don’t want you getting sick, for your sake and for the baby’s."Her gaze flickered at me for a moment before lowering to the ground. She had been sitting in the exact spot where Lucian had fallen, even though his body was no longer there."Lyra, I don’t think I can survive this," she murmured, her voice fragile, her tears sliding down her pale cheeks. "Why did Lucian had to leave me now that we were planning of getting married?"If only I had an answer. If only I could give her the comfort she so desperately needed. But I couldn’t. I didn’t even have it for myself.Ever si

Varg's POV The urgency in Jacob’s voice sent a sharp prickle down my spine. Something was definitely wrong, but I couldn’t quite place what it was. Maybe Jacob had figured out who the traitor was and needed me there before delivering punishment.“What’s the problem?” Tommy asked, noticing the worried expression on my face.“Just got a call from Jacob. I need to return to the mansion,” I replied absentmindedly, my voice sounding hollow.“Then you have to go. Don’t worry, you can visit whenever you want. And don’t forget what we discussed.” Tommy gave me an encouraging look, but it barely registered in my mind.I glanced at my phone, staring at the multiple missed calls from Lyra. A strange feeling crept up my spine, but I brushed it off.I stood up. “Thanks for your time, Tommy. I understand if you don’t want Lucian to know where you are. But it would really be nice if he knew.”“I’ll tell him when all this is over,” Bethany said as she walked in, handing Tommy a tea mug. “But for now

Lyra’s POVThanos’s voice slithered through my mind like a snake, his words sharp and taunting."Oh, this is exactly what I wanted."His laughter echoed through my head, sending a shiver down my spine. I had never truly tried using the mind link before, not like this. But now, in this moment, it felt like he was inside my head, his presence pressing against my thoughts like a dark cloud."I’ve got you where I wanted, and now you can’t run away from me."A snarl ripped through my throat, my teeth clashing together in a vicious warning. My wolf burned with rage, ready to lunge, but before I could move, a massive force crashed into me from behind.I barely had time to register the weight before I was slammed into the ground, my breath knocked from my lungs. The world spun, dirt and leaves sticking to my fur as a heavy body pinned me down.A deep growl rumbled above me as I realized it was Harold in his wolf form.I thrashed, my claws digging into the ground as I tried to buck him off, bu

Lyra’s POVBile rose in my throat as I stood frozen at the sight before me. Thanos stood tall, his presence menacing, flanked by five wolves with eyes that glowed in the dim moonlight. He was toying with us, drawing this out, knowing full well that Lucian was alone and outnumbered.Lucian held his ground, his jaw clenched, but I could sense his unease. He was strong, but against Thanos and five of his wolves? He wouldn't last.I needed to do something.My gaze darted around the living room, searching for my phone. It lay on the couch, its screen reflecting the dim glow of the chandelier above. I rushed over, snatching it up, and quickly dialed Varg’s number.It rang, a breath of relief left me. If Varg could get here in time, we had a chance. But then it went into voicemail.I cursed under my breath and tried again. Once, twice, three times, nothing.My fingers tightened around the phone before I hurled it onto the couch in frustration. My mind spun, searching for another plan, anothe
