Chapter: Chapter 146139Kiara's POV The corridor was still damp from last night’s rain. Moonlight filtered in through the cracks in the stone wall, glinting off my boots as I moved silently toward the spot I'd seen the guard speaking in hushed tones to the figure in the shadows.I had no idea what I was thinking when I suddenly found the strength and resilience do this, but there was one thing I knew for a fact. Since, I'd already gotten myself to this point, I might as well go through with it. The hallway was pitch black, and with each step I took towards my destination, I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. It'd started the moment I snuck out of my room. A small part of me had already cooked up the list of excuses I was going to give my new guard if he dared to ask me any questions, but luckily I didn't need them. Why? He was nowhere to be found. It had rubbed off on me the wrong way earlier, but now, all I could think to myself was how much of a blessing his absence had been. If he'

Chapter: Chapter 145137Kiara's POV I honestly thought my troubles were over, or more importantly, I was slowly becoming the moon goddess least favorite pawn to play with. One would think that with the number of things that had happened to me in the span of three days, that the goddess had her her fill and had now decided to move to someone else. Those were my exacts thoughts too, but I was slowly coming to learn that she was barely done with me, and I was in for a longer and more gruesome ride than I least expected. Shit. How I'd managed to fall asleep and what not, I had no idea. It also didn't help that nightmared plagued my dreams and I woke up sweating to each and every one of them. I'd barely managed to go back to bed, before something caught my attention again. For the umpteenth time tonight, a small sound reached my eyes and I jerked awake immediately. Thanks to my heart thumping wildly in my chest, it made it a tad bit harder to realize where the noise had originally come from. After wh

Chapter: Chapter 144135Kiara's POV I wasn't one to be afraid all the time, especially when there wasn't so much as an idea of a threat hanging around. I'd heard the term that I was fearless quite a couple of times, and honestly, while I thought the expression was one of the best qualities I could ever possess, I wasn't sure I still shared that sentiment, especially in this moment. The ribbon was gone, and it was all because of me. I'd burned it a couple of hours ago, but it still felt like I hadn't done enough. I hated to admit it, but Kael’s visit rattled me more than I would like. I wasn't even sure which was all the more unnerving, the fact that he'd been able to instill such an amount of fear in me without even looking at my face for once, or the fact that his words hit harder than I thought they would. His words had coiled around me the moment he left, and even up until this moment,I could still hear the threat in his voice lingering and echoing in the back of my head. I'd wrapped the ribbon

Chapter: Chapter 143Kiara’s POV I stared at the space in front of me, and despite how focused I was, nothing, absolutely nothing seemed to be changing. The back of my eyes stung, and I was ashamed at the fact that it took me longer to realize why that was happening. I was tearing up, and the worst part? I had no idea why. I blinked back a couple of times, while forcing myself to push back the tears. They didn't cooperate immediately, and instead of letting them fall, I decided to distract myself. My eyes glanced at the walls that looked too much like they were closing in on me, and I swallowed. The clock that was hung high up on the wall ticked back and forth, and even though it bathed the room in a kind of eerie ambience, all I could think of was the limited time I had left here. The more I stared at the place, the more I realized that I didn't really have anything that belonged to me in here. There were no personal effects whatsoever, and I had no idea how that made me feel. A pang of guilt sprea

Chapter: Chapter 130Kiara’s POV I wasn't one that could say I'd been rendered speechless a lot of times, but believe me when I said I just might have broken The record this time. My brain refused to make sense of anything, no matter how hard I tried, and I hated it so much. It was as if the part of my brain that was responsible for making decisions, of at least processing the things that had just happened, had just shut down all of a sudden, and it had everything to do with the man standing in front of me. I raised my eyes, only slightly, and just enough for me to catch a glimpse at the man in front of me. Thanks to the dim glow of the few lights in the hallway that was barely lit up, I had the little opportunity, of checking out what he looked like. He was in a bunch of casual clothes, just a T-shirt and pants that indicated that he might have easily jumped out of important work, simply because he thought he heard something. If he had come here because he heard a little bit of noise, I guess

Chapter: Chapter 141Kiara's POV The click of the cell door echoed like a death sentence, and I hated how it sent shivers of fear racing down my spine. It didn't just spare my spine alone, instead, the said fear reached deep inside my bones, almost as if it's sole intent was to tender me cripple. I stood frozen, back pressed to the cold stone wall, heart hammering in my chest as the sound of retreating boots faded down the corridor. The torch outside flickered once, then twice, casting trembling shadows across the iron bars. I didn’t know where they had brought me. As far as I knew, this was different from the cell they'd placed me when I was corrupted with the shadow, and this wasn't where I was locked up with the other rogues, so where the hell was I? Even the walls felt different, and I couldn't help but feel like I was being thrust into a part of the palace that I didn't know existed until now. Wherever and whatever it was, it didn't negate the fact that I didn't feel the least bit comfy in here

Chapter: Chapter 127First Person’s Perspective – Enise’s POV I drove back to the Alpha’s mansion, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My mind was a mess, and Diana’s words kept replaying in my head. *Selfish. Selfish. Selfish.* Was I really that selfish? Maybe this was even for the best? My phone buzzed, and I glanced at it. It was a text from Miracle. *“Doctor Denise, please come home fast. Daddy is acting crazy, and I’m scared.”* My heart sank. Miracle was just a child. She didn’t deserve to be caught up in all this. I pressed the accelerator, speeding toward the mansion. Whatever was going on, I had to be there for her. When I finally reached the gates, I expected the guards to let me in as usual. But they didn’t. They stood there, blocking the entrance, their faces stern. “What’s going on?” I asked, rolling down the window. “Let me in.” One of the guards stepped forward. “I’m sorry, ma’am. The Alpha gave strict orders. You’re not allowed inside.”

Chapter: Chapter 126First Person’s Perspective –Enise’s POVI literally raced into the coffee shop. My hands shook as I scanned the whole place in search of my best friend as I was already at the verge of tears. Anna was already there, sitting at our usual booth in the corner. She looked up as I approached, her expression shifting from curiosity to concern the moment she saw my face. She rose to her feet immediately “Enise,” she said, standing up. “What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” I sank into the chair across from her, my shoulders slumping. “I messed up, Anna. I messed up big time.” I said. Tears welling up in the corner of my eyes. My heart was thumping really hard in my chest Anna leaned forward, squinting her eyes as she searched mine for any hint about what I was talking about “What happened?” I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “Last night… Lucas and I were drinking. I got drunk, and I… I told him everything. Who I really am. What we’ve been doing. Everything.

Chapter: Chapter 125First Person’s Perspective – Enise’s POVI woke up with a pounding headache, my head was banging so hard, as though I had been hit in the head with a harmmer the night beforeThe sunlight peeped through the curtains making me squint and rub my eyes with the back of my palm. For a moment, I just lay there, trying to recall together the events of last night. My mind was foggy, hazy even but I remembered the riot, the chaos, and Lucas’s despair, how he had complained of been a failure and how guilt had been eating at me, I also remembered drinking with him, but everything after that was a blur. It was as though my mind was shut blank afterwards and I couldn't remember a single thing afterwards Before I could think too much about it, the door creaked open, and Miracle came bolting into the room. She was already dressed in her school uniform, her backpack slung over one shoulder and a very bright smile on her face. One that was enough to make me smile too and forget all about my worries

Chapter: Chapter 124First Person’s Perspective –Enise’s PO I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. My mind was all over the place, replaying the conversation with Lucian over and over again. His words echoed in my head: *“Try and stop me, then. See how far you get.”* I clenched my fists, frustration piling up inside me. Lucian was stubborn, and once he set his mind to something, he wouldn’t stop until it was done. I had to find a way to stop him before it was too late. But how? How could I possibly do that?. He had all the resources, All the power and support from Diana. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. My thoughts were a mess. I couldn’t think straight. All I knew was that I couldn’t let Lucian kill Lucas. Not for Miracle’s sake. Not for mine. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up, startled. “Come in,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. The door opened, and Lucas walked in. He looked tired, his shoulders slumped, and his eyes dull. He closed th

Chapter: Chapter 123First Person's Perspective – Lucas's POVI stood in the balcony of my study, my glass in hand, staring down at the city below. The lights flickered across the skyline, but to me, everything seemed to be crumbling. I could see it all—the decay, the rot, the cracks in the foundation of everything my father had built. His legacy, my legacy, was slipping through my fingers, no matter how hard I tried to hold on.I took a sip of my drink, the bitterness matching the taste of failure in my mouth.I had tried, damn it, I had. But every effort seemed wasted. Every move I made, every decision I took, just seemed to make it worse. A force, invisible but so very real, was dragging me down, holding me back. I had tried to steer things in the right direction, but I was only making it worse.And now, I could hear the whispers, the rumors that had been circulating for weeks. Some group of people had banded together, a faction calling for my impeachment. Their anger was palpable, their voices rising

Chapter: Chapter 122First Person's Perspective – Enise's POVI sprang to my feet, my heart in my mouth as I stared at Lucian, unable to comprehend the words that had just left his mouth. He looked like he had just delivered the most casual announcement, but the words hit me like a cold slap to the face. “What did you say?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, but it cracked under the weight of his revelation.Lucian didn’t seem to care about my confusion. He stood, his expression serious, yet tinged with something dark and triumphant. “The plan was always clear,” he said, folding his arms across his chest, his eyes narrowing as he continued, “Take everything from Lucas, ruin his life, and then…” He leaned in closer, the sinister edge in his voice unmistakable, “end him.”My breath caught in my throat, and I could feel my legs wobble beneath me. No. This couldn’t be what I agreed to. This wasn’t the plan at all. “No,” I whispered, shaking my head furiously. “No, no, no. Lucian, that wasn’t part of th
