Chapter: Chapter 74: Sireen Finds OutSireen’s POVIt’s like a bucket of ice is thrown at me, and it hits me squarely in the face where Trevor is leading us to, and that realization causes my dead brain cells to resurrect, and I stop in my tracks, my ten toes planted down.“I’m not going anywhere with you, Trevor,” I say, realizing that this might be a trap because he knows that I or my wolf won’t be able to resist doing something dangerous. Ever since that day when he and I slept together, I can’t lie and say that I’ve been myself. I was satiated, of course, but it was like whatever filled me was washed out from my stomach after only a few seconds, so I needed to fill it again.Trevor and I are a force, and the tension between us still burns bright, even though he’s at the top of my enemy list. And even now, I see that in his golden eyes as he stares at me, so I shake my head when he says nothing, standing firm on my decision.“I just want to talk,” he finally says, and I shrug, gesturing to the space around us because t

Chapter: Chapter 73: Back With LilySireen’s POVIf I continue to stay at home and dwell on how much my world is crashing around my feet, I know that I’m going to lose my mind, so instead of wallowing in my misery and letting it consume me, I spend most of my time with Lily. Her coming out of her attack alive and back to good health has to be the one area where the moon goddess has favored me in this battle with my unknown enemy, so I don’t even want to leave her side.The only downside to my newfound purpose is that my clinginess is almost instantly noticed by Lily, and she doesn’t waste time in asking me to tell her what’s happening.I could lie, but it’s of no use. She’s one of the few people who I can completely trust are innocent, so I open up to her on a cool evening, on our way back to the cabin after a walk through the estate grove.“I know it was stupid, and I already regret why I did it, but when I came back to the estate, I saw the pills you mistook for yours and I took them back with me,” I begin, slightly

Chapter: Chapter 72: What Happened Trevor’s POVThe last time I left this many voicemails and calls to a single person was over a year ago when I got the news that Kylie had been attacked outside pack grounds and hurt. I didn’t know the extent to which, and when Mom finally broke the part of her death to me, as gently as she could, I quietly walked back to my room and tried her number at least a hundred more times, followed by more voicemails filled with denial. This time, Sireen hasn’t only been hurt, but she’s in danger of being punished for an attempted murder she has no hand in, and it’s because of fucking Kristy, who has been avoiding me for days. She conveniently also hasn’t showed up to school, and has ignored the multiple calls and voicemails I left her.When I get to class before Sireen and hear rumors of Mr Abel’s heart attack being her work, I’m not only broken, but I’m also angry. I tell the whole class to leave Sireen alone, but it’s of no use because this is a serious allegation, and it concerns a lectur

Chapter: Chapter 71: Bad LuckSireen’s POVI remember half of the time that Kylie and I had a fight over something back then, I’d say as much as I can to hurt her and win the argument, but somehow, hours later, no matter how hard I fought, I’d realize something else that I could have said to make her hurt even more.At night, after the fight with Trevor, this is exactly how I feel, but not about what else I could have said to hurt him more. As I lay up in my bed, sleeplessly staring at the ceiling, I realize that there were more questions that I should have asked him, and some of them are what’s keeping me up right now. For starters, I blindly went over the fact that Trevor agreed I had nothing to do with Mr Abel’s heart attack long before he broke into my house, and not because I said so. That means he thinks someone else did it, and I now need to know why he thinks so and how he came to that verdict, because it could point me in the direction of who did this. And if I find who did this, then I’ve found Lily’s p

Chapter: Chapter 70: Too Late, A BreakupSireen’s POV“You need to leave.”Panicking, that’s the first thing that comes out of my mouth when I see Trevor standing on the other side of my room after crawling in like a thief. My heart is still galloping in my chest, only slowing down a few beats because Trevor is not the intruder that I thought he was, but I’m still riddled with nerves because I can't think of why else he would be here other than to turn me in.With a frown on his face, chest heaving lightly from the activity, he speaks. “You don’t even know why I’m here.”I shake my head. “I don’t need to. Leave.”Trevor is one of the few people who know exactly how Lily got hurt, and he also happened to be there when Beta George revealed that Mr. Abel suffered his heart attack in the same way, so he must have already figured out the connection between the two cases, and that is all I need to know.“I’m not going anywhere until you hear me out,” Trevor objects, and there is no backing down in his tone, neither is there any

Chapter: Chapter 69: GuiltySireen’s POV Foul play? As in, somebody has something to do with Mr Abel’s heart attack? I can’t believe what I’m hearing, but I can’t be hearing it wrong because the entire hall is in disarray, and not even the chancellor’s microphone can put a call to the situation. Mr Abel, the nicest lecturer I’ve come across, was hurt? A heart attack? And caused by a student? How? Theories and speculations come from students all around us, but my brain is not processing half of what I’m hearing. Camille shares the same facial expression as me, our mouths slightly open with confusion written all over our faces, but what I feel inside is even more difficult to put a finger on. “Students!” Comes a high pitched call from Beta George on the stage, and that gets the chatters to die down, not completely, but to a degree. “Remain calm,” he says, but there’s nothing calm about the situation.

My Husband’s Regret, Not My Problem—Short Story
“Why don’t you get your head out of the gutter and realize that you are just a prop, Nalani? You’re not Daniel’s partner, never have been, and if anyone is going to become his soon, it’s me!” These are the words that Gwen, my husband’s “business friend”, spits at me with colorful disdain painting her face.
After seven years of selfless commitment on her part, and lies and manipulation on his, Nalani takes the proverbial fatal blow when Daniel betrays her trust and soils their sacred vows to each other.
This time, she is unforgiving, leaving without looking back, but Daniel, realizing his mistake, wants her back.
Obsessed with winning Nalani again, no matter the cost, Daniel crosses every moral line visible to man, but can she still reject him, and watch as he shatters the way she did under him?

Chapter: CHAPTER 20NALANITears burn my vision, and there’s a massive commotion going on a few feet away from me, yet, my focus is on getting air back into my failing lungs without dying from too much. I claw desperately at my neck, coughing harder than I ever have in my life, with my chest tight and grating from the assault. After what feels like an eternity of coughing, I slowly begin to breathe normally, but I’m still sore all over.When I dare my eyes to open, it takes a few seconds for me to make out the figure of the person hunched over Daniel.It’s Keith.Oh my goodness…and he’s pounding the living daylights out of Daniel’s face. Daniel doesn’t even try to fight back because he’s no match for Keith’s might.Keith is slightly more buff than Daniel, but he looks like he works out, solely for this purpose, while Daniel doesn’t. I can’t say it doesn’t scare me, but when his purpose for getting physical is to protect me from someone who just tried to strangle me to death, I watch with a frozen stare.

Just a blank, distant stare, telling me that the Daniel I knew is gone, and this person right here, is capable of the worst, darkest thing.When he jerks me violently, seeing that my thoughts are not with him, I see that the mask Daniel wears is cracking down by the second, and I lose it, tightening my grip on the knife to a fault. “You’re a monster!” The tears have stopped flowing from my eyes and all that’s left now is a glossy film over my ey

Nalani looks like a deer caught in headlights, eyes wide with worry.“I just came to talk,” I continue. “I told you I’ll bring the divorce papers to you, right?” I say with a glint in my eyes, proud that I proved her wrong. I show her the papers, even though I have no intention of signing them because I’m never letting Nalani go. “I brought them.”Nalani steps back still, almost stumbling over the table before her, my words doing nothing to reduce her uneasiness, and I clench my jaw, starting to grow frustrated.“How did you find me, Daniel?

The place is basically mine even if I only rented it. The apartment belongs to a friend, and he wouldn’t mind me wanting to feel more secure in where someone dear to me is living.”I suck in my bottom lips, mulling over his words.Day after day, Keith has let it be known to me that he finds me attractive, but every time, I skillfully avoid addressing it.

Alpha Aidan's Rejection
“How long have we been mates?” Aidan barked.
“Four weeks,” I cried, tears rolling down my face and neck.
“And how many times were we intimate, Tara?”
My lungs tightened in my chest as I whispered. “Once.”
“And we were being safe, so why do you think this lie would stick?”
Venom dripped from his next words. “Get out of my life because the next time you show up, I will kill you.”

It wasn’t exactly a one-night stand, but the possibility of a pregnancy was almost non-existent even though he was my mate.
When I mustered the courage to break the news to Aidan Graham, the father, he denied me. He severed our bond and plotted my death, and my only option was to run.
Nine years later, my daughter walks into my office with a man, and the scent I recognize all too well fills my lungs. She says. “Mommy! I found you this handsome man!”
The match my baby girl just made for me…is to my ex Alpha mate.
I have been broken in the past, so how do I make this work for my daughter? Can I still try even when Aidan ropes us into a web of secrets, deceit, and brings me to a past I wished to bury forever?
The plot twists are bound to make you ask… “Wait…What. The. Heck??” So, read on!!

Chapter: 110: Feelings For AidanTARA The attack from the Stonewolves had become stale news. People freely went about their businesses now, so it was no hassle for me to go restocking Aidan’s kitchen with foodstuff one week after everything happened. I had to admit, it wasn’t easy feeding a man the size and stomach of Aidan, but what was a girl to do when he took care of her and their child with so much dedication? Aidan could as well eat portions meant for me and Nadia combined and doubled, and he still wouldn’t be satisfied. It was why the foodstuffs in his house never lasted more than two weeks without needing a restock. His love for food was what made me conclude that it was why Aidan could not only whip up meals that could pass for a chef’s standards, but could also make actual fancy meals! Back to shopping. I loved the activity’s semblance of serenity, so this was a win win. And since Nadia was with Esme for the Saturday afternoon, it was the perfect way for me to spend it. With the trolley in han

Chapter: 109: Home Safe TARA Everything Aidan said made sense. They were going to try to reverse the Stonewolves’ curse, and if anyone would have the resources to do so, it was going to be Aidan, whether in Vermont Pack or Attica. But if that didn’t turn out to be successful, we would have to stick to other means of protection, and that included our wolf sides. I wasn’t much of a shifter. I couldn’t even remember the last time I saw my wolf. After everything that happened all those years ago, I couldn’t help but feel more vulnerable than safe when I wasn’t in control of my physical body. Not after I’d been stabbed in the back, almost taken out at the hospital where I should have been recovering, and having to spend years trying to heal those wounds. I knew my wolf was capable of protecting me, but I just had to get to trust myself on that again. And I had to do it for Nadia too. If she was going to have a chance at being in tune with her wolf side, she had to actually experience her wolf side. No one was

Chapter: 108: Your Safety AIDAN As soon as Tara and Nadia were out of sight, I did the first thing that came to mind. Made sure the multiple entrances to the house were well secured from intruders and activated the security alarm system around the house. I was back in my spot before Tara came back out, hoping that this plan I had in my mind worked. Having Stonewolves spring up where they both lived was a chance I wasn’t willing to keep taking. Not after the scared look on Tara’s face whenever they were mentioned, bringing back the trauma of her experience with them that prevented her from being able to close her eyes to sleep for months before now. “How badly was Jace hurt?” Tara asked, cutting through my thoughts with the sound of her voice, eyes trained on me from across the kitchen island as she picked on her cuticles, nervous about the welfare of her friend, Jenna, and Jace. I shook my head, voice low as I watched her advance. “He’s out cold.” The outline of her neck held in a gasp as she asked with

Chapter: 107: How Bad TARA “I can’t ask you to come with me, Tara. Not when Nadia is all alone at her training,” Jenna said, the second we got outside the restaurant, her eyes still brimming red with unshed tears. It had been only months since Aidan and Jace first came into Vermont Pack, but I couldn’t blame Jenna for falling head over heels for Aidan’s beta in such a short time. I mean, the same thing happened with me and Aidan. As much as Jenna seldom talked about the dynamics of her relationship with him, I knew she cared deeply for him, but she still had other’s interests at heart, even when she was currently breaking with the news about Jace being hurt. “Jenna,” I breathed, scared shitless, and worried to my bones for both my friend and my daughter. “Will you be okay?” She shook her head once, her eyes full and almost spilling over. “I have to be. Be on the lookout, and avoid them as much as you can, okay? Get Nadia to safety and stay indoors till you hear it’s okay to come out.” I nodded, pulli

Beneath all that calm, I could see that Jenna was charged, ready to act if push came to shove with Kayla. Kayla shrugged at the question, and I shook my head. “Why are you in Vermont Pack right now, Kayla?” I asked, trying to look for any logical reasons why she would abandon the comfort of her pack to be where no one wanted her. I genuinely wondered. Was it because of Aidan? Or was it for the fact that she saw me after all these years, and found out that she failed in her plan to keep me and Aidan away or ruin our family. “

Jenna was all smiles, encouraging Nadia to crush all her teammates even if it was just her first practice, and I was an entire other case. Nadia had suddenly picked up the interest the evening after we ran into Aidan here, and I wouldn’t have been as shocked if the new hobby interest was cheerleading or even football with a team of girls, but Nadia had stuck to her desire in playing football with all male kids team. I was not going to stop her from trying out what interested her, but it made me ask myself some questions, as most mothers would, seeing as this wasn’t the first time Nadia was choosing to do something that most young girls at her age wouldn’t be interested in. “Come on,” Jenna said, pulling me by my arm away from the complex entrance, and out of my thoughts. “We don’

In fact, it would only bring more attention to me—leading them to my place—but he had already ended the call. I needed no one to tell me that he wanted to come here himself, but what for? Why would he come here himself? Knowing that he was going to be here in a moment, since there wouldn’t be any traffic, I quickly jerked out of my thoughts, gazing right back at my messy room. My apartment right now looked more like a madwoman’s house than anything. Every one of my belongings was scattered around the corners, from dirty plates I had used for the past days to clothes strewn carelessly. The truth was, I wasn’t like this. It’s just that this whole situation was so overwhelming that I hadn’t even had time or energy for the slightest thing.

From the towering skyscrapers to the shimmering city lights, the movement of cars far below—it all had a way of making me feel both powerful and insignificant at the same time, but what I cherished the most was the solitude… the solitude which seemed haunting today. Every evening, after work, I would unwind with a drink in hand, enjoying the silence that wrapped around me like a comforting blanket. It was the closest thing to peace I had ever known. Tonight, however, was different. I sat on the plush leather couch, my gaze fixed on the breathtaking cityscape of Texas, and there was a bottle of whiskey resting in my right hand, its golden liquid catching the dim light of my living room, all while I thought about the infuriating woman who wouldn’t leave my mind.

That was how much Bladen rattled me. I tried to figure out what was going on and why he needed us to do this now, what the catch might be, but I couldn’t come to any conclusions or even speculations. Were the blogs finally getting to him and doing damage to his reputation? I finally decided that thinking wasn’t worth my time.
