Chapter: EPILOGUE Julian’s POV The voices still echoed in my head, the sounds I was sure I’d never forget. They weren’t just memories anymore; they had become a rhythm that haunted me, pounding in the back of my skull whenever silence stretched too long. While everyone else seemed to have found peace, even in the shadow of grief, I stayed trapped in that moment. No matter how easily I smiled at Rex and the others, no matter how normal I tried to look, the memory clung to me like a second skin. I’d known the moment I saw them back at the Blue Crescent Pack that they had finally come to cash in their promise. I told myself I’d been expecting it, that I’d always known it would come. I’d even convinced myself I had no regrets about making that deal. After all, it had protected everyone else—protected the pack. But the image kept coming back. Me standing outside that cell, the lights dim. My hands dripping with a crimson no one else would ever see. The elders lying motionless on the dungeon floor,

Chapter: Peaceful Beginning Rex’s POV Waking up to an empty bed and an even emptier room had me on my feet almost instantly. My hand flew to the side stool, where Aries always left notes whenever he slipped out early. But the space was bare. I took a deep breath, forcing down the prickle of panic rising in my chest. Don’t jump to conclusions, I told myself. He could have gone out to clear his head. After all, the outburst with Julian yesterday was a lot, and coupled with the afterfeelings from the fight… it made sense he’d want time alone. Still, the silence of the room pressed down on me. I collapsed back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The link. I muttered it aloud as I reached for him through the bond. Aries, I called softly, trying to break through the obvious block sitting heavy in his mind. Nothing. Not even the faintest flicker of acknowledgment. My heartbeat quickened, sharp and restless. I got up again. I’ll just go check myself, I thought, walking out of the room while still attempting th

Chapter: Beginnings Aries’ POV Sitting in my office now, my thoughts wandered back to Julian and how he must have felt to lash out that way. I’d known him forever, and the only times I’d ever seen him that mad were over simple things, like food or outfit choices. So naturally, last night had taken me aback. I had managed to get Rex in bed before sneaking out. I told her not to worry, but truthfully, I was the one carrying the weight of worry. I hadn’t thought about what impact Lilly’s death would have on Julian. I blamed everything on the men of the shadows, selfishly thinking only of my own pain, not that of others, not even my best friend’s. My gaze fixed on the window, still waiting, still hoping to see him come back. Robin had returned a while ago, but he was alone. I was tempted to ask him, but I held it in, thinking it’d be better to talk to Julian myself. I don’t know how long I sat there, but Julian never came. The night stretched on, filled with thoughts of the battle we’d just fought, how

Chapter: Burying grief Rex POV Tears streamed silently down my cheeks as I watched them lower Lilly into the ground. The pack stood together while the sun sank behind us, casting long shadows across the field. Grief hung heavy in the air, suffocating, pressing down on all of us. I didn’t fight it. I let it engulf me… engulf us. Aries’ hand slipped into mine, his grip gentle but firm. I squeezed back, reminding myself I wasn’t the only one who needed comfort—he did too. My eyes found Rose, crumpled in Zane’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Even Robin, always the steady one, had tears glistening in his eyes. The only one missing was Julian. He would take this hard. I knew it. And though it pained me that he wasn’t here, at least he wouldn't be alone, he had Robin by his side through everything. We stood long after the grave was closed, my gaze fixed on that raw patch of earth. I didn’t notice the crowd had thinned until I turned to find only Robin and Aries still with me. “When did everyone leave?”

Chapter: ComfortRex POVCalmness, peace, belonging, all the things I once assumed, believed to be illusions were the same feelings that embraced me right now. I slept too well for someone who had fought and ended a war, and someone who had lost a friend. But I guess I couldn’t stop the universe from granting me the well-deserved rest it craved.My dreams were empty for once, but even that space wrapped me in familiar warmth, one I didn’t want to let go of. I was scared… scared that I would come back to reality and it wouldn’t be as peaceful as this empty sanctuary felt. But after one glance at a hollow image that looked eerily similar to my mother, Lyra, my eyes snapped open at once.Reality didn’t hit me as hard as I thought it would. Probably because of the man who still lay fast asleep beside me. Aries looked so peaceful, his face slightly scrunched up. But even with that, I didn’t miss how light his heartbeat was—steady, calm, peaceful. Like the same calm flowing through me had reached him as wel

Chapter: Grief Rex’s POVThe walk back home was quiet. Not the kind of silence that came because the storm was finally over, but the quiet, reflective kind.I walked side by side with Aries while Robin trailed behind us with the rest of the warriors. I almost asked him to go with Julian, but I could tell something was wrong by the way Julian had left with just one glance. So, I stayed quiet. We could talk when he returned.Instead, my head kept replaying everything that had gone down today, my heart clenching every time Lilly’s face came to mind. I wanted to sit and cry, cry everything out, blame someone, anyone, for all that was lost. But even that couldn’t take the pain away.The fight was over. Ron was dead, and the Elders were taken care of. But the hope, the rage, the determination that had once carried me were now drained, leaving nothing but a hollow ache.Was this how the end of a battle was supposed to feel? Was this the end of the prophecy, the purpose of the Elegida’s existence?Those que

The mafia boss is the man of my dreams
Have you ever had the same dream so often that it starts to blur into reality?
The same man.
The same scent.
The same fire, except every night, it’s a different position, a different fantasy… and by morning, it all slips away.
That has been my life for weeks, until everything changed.
Just when I thought I could finally get over the stranger in my dreams, I convinced myself that my new boss might be the distraction I needed. A way out of my sex-starved world of fantasies.
Then he walked in.
Hotter than my imagination ever allowed.
Sharper. Darker. Dangerous.
And with one look, I knew.
It was him.
The man who owned my nights.
But who was he?
And why was he suddenly here in my reality?
“I own this place,” he growled, his deep voice making my knees weak as his grip tightened around my wrist. “I own this motherfucker you call a boss… and I own you too.”
His black eyes locked on mine, dark and unreadable.
“So you better start walking before I take you right here and now.”
He meant every word.
He dragged me out with him, and everything I thought I knew cracked open. Was this the beginning of my love story with the man they called the Mafia Boss? Were my dreams finally becoming real?
But with constant gunshots, threats, and attempted abductions…
I’m starting to realize this might not be the fairytale I imagined.
And my life may never go back to normal. Not ever again. But I don’t seem to mind anymore.

Chapter: Chapter 75 I was on my feet almost immediately after I read that text. I rushed over to my window, my eyes darting around frantically for some reason. I had no idea what I was expecting to see, but when I saw nothing, I fell back onto my bed, my eyes on the message again. Who was this? And what did they mean by I looked really hot right now… when it’s not like they could see me? It was creepy—too creepy—especially since they used the initial “K” as well. Knight was the only K I knew, and it sure as hell wasn’t him. I eyed the message one more time before tossing my phone to the other edge of the bed. “Yeah, nope. I’m not dealing with this tonight,” I muttered to myself as I walked over to my window again and drew the curtains shut. Just in case… Going to bed was more difficult than I thought, as my mind kept drifting to the earlier message. Knight still hadn’t called, but I considered calling him myself just to talk about it but i decided against it. He could still be busy, and I might be o

Chapter: Chapter 74 The whole workday went by with the rumors about Knight snowballing into something completely different. Every step I took away from my desk, I was met with a new rumor. Hell, I even heard a man say he killed people like it was nothing. Like… are we even talking about the same person here? The rumors were so absurd that by the end of the day, I just tuned out their conversations entirely. If Knight was a mafia boss, then I guess I was a fictional character in a book too—since we were clearly being delusional. I knew everything they were saying was made up, but I don’t even know what pushed me to bring it up to Knight the moment we got into the car. Maybe it was the looks people gave us earlier, or maybe it was just my overly curious ass wanting to hear just how ridiculous it sounded from him. But when I saw his eyes widen slightly at my words, a tiny ray of doubt slipped into my mind… one that immediately dissolved when a wide smile spread across his face right after. “I guess you

Chapter: Chapter 73 Knight’s POV The moment Aria and Jean walked out of my house, I immediately pulled Angelo into my office. I might not have shown it, but since he mentioned the owner of the Oasis bar, I had been unsettled. No one knows what shit he might pull now that he has apparently seen Aria’s face. “Get someone to watch him and the bar and report to Rowan every thirty minutes,” I muttered as I settled in my chair, and Angelo nodded. “Do you think we should get someone to, like, protect Aria too?” he asked. I shook my head. “Not yet, at least until we’re sure that there really is a threat. But Craig… Craig might be a foe, but I would like to think he’s a smart one who wouldn’t want the mess that comes from touching what is mine. So let’s stick with watching him for now. Plus, I’ll try to be with her as much as possible just in case,” I finished. He nodded before letting out a sigh. “How was France?” he asked as he settled into the chair too. I shook my head. “I didn’t go there for sights

Chapter: Chapter 72 When I stepped out of the shower, fully dressed of course, Knight was seated on the bed, and only when his eyes landed on me did he stand up. I plastered a smile on my face as he walked up to me, and I stretched the empty bag out to him. “Thanks for the clothes,” I said innocently, as if I didn’t just pull a mini strip show five minutes ago. He took the bag from my hands and tossed it onto the bed, stepping closer to me. “What?” I asked with a chuckle as I took a step backwards. “You really shouldn’t tease me like that, Aria,” he said finally, and my smile changed to a full-blown grin. “I did no such thing, Chairman of Edge Group. You said you didn’t mind me changing in front of you, so I did just that,” I said with a slight shrug, and he shook his head. “What you did was more than just changing, Aria,” he said, pulling me closer by my waist. “You were teasing me, getting naked like that,” he muttered, and I chuckled again. “Well, I guess I did tease you then,” I said, prying

Chapter: Chapter 71 "What about me?" I asked again, my eyes locked on Angelo. I couldn’t think of a single thing I’d done that would require him to come here on my behalf. "Talk to me first," Knight said, starting to stand up, but I grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "Why would you want to talk alone? If it’s about me, then I need to hear it too, don’t you think?" I looked to Jean to back me up, and he nodded sharply. "Just tell us, Angelo. I doubt it’s anything too bad," Jean added. Knight sighed, finally nodding and slipping back into his seat. "Do I...?" Angelo started, looking at Knight for permission. Knight gave a small nod. "Go ahead. Speak." Angelo clapped his hands together lightly. "So, it might be nothing, but I’m telling you this so you can be careful, okay? Last night, I’m fairly certain the owner of the Oasis bar saw you and Knight together." Knight was on his feet immediately. I just stared at them, confused. That was it? Someone saw us at a bar? "How sure are you that he saw he

Chapter: Chapter 70 I spent the next few hours just sitting with Knight in his office—him leaning back on the couch and me tucked against his chest. It felt so calm that I didn't want to move a muscle. With all the drama, it didn't even feel like yesterday had happened at all. The only reminder was that faint, lingering ache deep in my core from that denied release, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Being so domestic with him, even for a little while, calmed me down in ways I hadn't expected. He talked briefly about what he’d done in France with his father, but I could tell he didn't want to go into details. Frankly, I wasn't that curious about his work. Work was just work. What I loved was us just talking about... anything. I don't think I’d ever shared such a grounded moment with him before, and I really appreciated it. We started talking about Jean, and somehow he roped my sister into the conversation, which made everything ten times funnier. "I have no idea what’s actually going on with t

The Broken Beta’s Redemption
A Spin-off to Rejected Mythical Luna —Julian X Robin Story They say destiny determines how our lives play out, that the Moon Goddess shapes our paths. But if that’s true, then she did a terrible job with mine. Because as I’m being dragged away, all eyes on me and tears burning down my cheeks, I finally understand how cruel destiny can be.
After surviving the war with my Alpha and the Luna, a new battle begins, one I didn’t choose but must finish. Revenge? Justice? Maybe that’s what I should live for. Maybe that’s what should keep me fighting, to hunt down the Men of Shadows who destroyed everything I loved. But as I run through that field with the people I now dare to call friends, none of that seems to matter anymore.
All I want is my life back. My family. My pack. Him.
And if that means killing again, I’ll do it, only this time, I knew better than to do it alone.
“Did you really think leaving me behind was the best choice?” he asked, his breath hot against my skin.
“I came to you twice, Julian,” he says, his grip firm, his voice trembling with something between pain and love. “You pushed me away both times. This time, I won’t let you fight alone.”
Then his lips crashed against mine, and a single tear slipped free.
Was this the retribution I’d been seeking… or just the beginning of a curse written by fate.

Chapter: Chapter 97 Third Person POV The fog settled with each pull as Orion was dragged through a grassy field and finally set down in front of a wooden door. The place was quiet—too quiet for anyone to believe an entire pack resided in this secret location. The Rock of Illusion. Where the men of the shadows resided. The real home of the Origin Pack. Orion remained on the floor, curled up in a fetal position, as others from the pack stepped out one after the other to stare at him. Whispers filled the field as the once powerful member of the men of the shadows was now nothing more than a shadow of himself, struggling to even breathe. The wooden door opened with a loud creak, and Manuel and Azreal stepped out, their faces filled with disgust as they glanced down at him. “Why did you come back here?” Manuel barked, making Orion finally lift his head. “What if they followed you back and discovered our hideout? If you couldn’t carry out your mission, then the least you can do is not ruin the rest of ou

Chapter: Chapter 96I couldn’t describe the fear that plagued my heart when I thought Robin was actually going to use his powers. I had never witnessed the destruction his power was capable of, but going by what he told me, releasing it here would be disastrous.This was the first time I had seen him like this. His rage bled through our bond, and I knew for a fact that nothing I said could calm him down. I had to hold him in my hands for that to work. But when I felt a speck of warmth seep into our bond as he held Orion up, I put all my trust in him. If he was doing all this, then he must have had something in mind. The Robin I knew would never hurt a soul—on purpose.So when Orion dropped to the floor, half-dead, I was instantly at Robin’s side, my hands holding him as he yelled at Alpha Levon to follow Orion.“Was this your plan all along?” Lucian called as Alpha Levon barked for his guards to discreetly follow Orion, who was scrambling away, barely able to remain on his feet.“My plan was to know what

Chapter: Chapter 95 Robin’s POV I wasn’t thinking. I was just a blur of motion, racing through the gates toward the place where they told us Julian was. My heart had dropped into my stomach the moment Levon’s guards rushed out, shouting that someone had been hurt. I didn’t wait for the rest of their words. I just ran, praying that whoever it was, they were still breathing. I couldn’t feel anything through my bond, so I knew for a fact it wasn't Julian. That left only Damon. I couldn’t—I wouldn’t—be able to handle it if anything happened to him. We might not have known each other as long as he and Julian had, but I saw how much he cared for us beneath that icy exterior. I cared just as much for him. I felt Lucian catch up to me, his breathing heavy, but Raven was nowhere to be seen. "She went to get Rex, So he can heal him." Lucian panted, as if reading my mind. But maybe he actually was. "I wasn’t even sure if my mental blocks were down”When the guard leading us finally came to a halt, we did the

Chapter: Chapter 94 Damon’s POV I didn’t even think twice before I threw myself in front of that spear. At first, it looked like Julian would have been able to avoid it, but when I saw his eyes flutter close as if waiting for impact, I knew something was off and that I had to step in. So that was exactly what I did. I leapt forward, and instantly the sharp pain flared up behind me as the spear remained lodged in my back. When Julian finally opened his eyes again, I watched them widen as I struggled to remain on my feet, and I finally let myself fall. “Damon!” he yelled loudly, but even his voice was muffled as my eyes became hazy. “My powers…” I choked out through the growing pain. “The fog numbed them!” he yelled back, his eyes burning with tears that threatened to spill. “Why did you do that?!” I drew a sharp, painful breath. “I told Robin I would protect you,” I muttered, recalling that conversation. I might come across as cold, but I never forget my promises. Never. The ache in my back sprea

Chapter: Chapter 93 My heart pounded heavily against my ribs as we stood in a circle, surrounded by guards all pointing weapons at us. What was going on? Why wasn't Levon here to sort this out? We had only just returned, and already the situation had spiraled. Was this how the Men of Shadows and Orion intended to get rid of us—by framing us as escapees who had to be "put down" before we could flee? If this was their plan, I had to hand it to them; I never would have expected this trap the moment we ran from that fog. "How dare you try to escape!" one guard yelled, nudging his spear toward us. Damon and I just looked around, waiting for Levon to show up and declare this a misunderstanding. "What do we do now?" I muttered, shifting closer to Damon. "If we do anything now, we give them a reason to kill us—exactly what the Men of Shadows want," Damon whispered back. "Don’t engage them at all, Julian. Just go with whatever they say. At worst, they'll just throw us back in a cell." I nodded, raising my

Even though our mission to the Origin Pack hasn’t yielded the results we wanted seeing as the place was empty, just being with him again was all I needed to feel composed.I was already trying to think of a way to track the Men of Shadows down again, but the moment Lucian mentioned Orion, my head snapped toward him. I had a feeling I knew exactly who that was. If that was truly what Lucian had read from Levon’s mind, and judging by Levon’s sudden urgency, I figured Orion was another member of the Men of Shadows. Damon seemed to have reached the same conclusion because a tiny smile played on his lips as he glanced at the Alpha."Who is Orion?" Robin asked, his voice laced with concern.I squeezed his hand gently. "I’ll fill you guys in," I said, turning to Lucian and Raven as well. "But it seems we need to leave right no

Nightmare turned love
I came to this new school with one goal—stay invisible.
No drama. No chaos. Just finish the semester and get out.
But everything changed the moment I laid eyes on him—Aiden Cross. Rich, arrogant, dangerously charming. The school's golden boy and certified heartbreaker. He had no business looking at me, let alone touching me.
And yet, there he was, lips still warm from kissing another girl, smirking as he walked straight toward me… and pulled me into his world with one simple, cocky line:
“Care to join?”
From that moment on, my plan to stay out of trouble was officially ruined.
Now, I’m skipping school, arguing with him like we’ve known each other for years, sharing moments I swore I’d never allow, and feeling things I can't ignore. But Aiden? He hides behind jokes and a player reputation—brushing off anything real like it’s just another game.
He’s everything I told myself to avoid. So why does my heart race every time he’s near?
Between surprise kisses in the cafeteria, his jealousy-fueled fights, and our late-night talks that cut deeper than I ever expected, I’m starting to realize one thing:
Sometimes the person you least expect becomes the one you can’t let go.
But can I trust him with my heart? Or will he leave me like he does everyone else. He was supposed to be my nightmare.
Now… he might just be my love story.

Chapter: Love NOVA’S POV Walking through those doors after what felt like forever was surreal, at least to my dramatic self. School was back in session, which meant we were returning to our usual, sometimes repetitive routine one I didn’t hate as much anymore. The hallways were buzzing with noise, and, as expected, all eyes were on us, like we’d suddenly grown two extra heads over the break. The old me would’ve been bothered by how people couldn’t mind their business this early in the day. But just one glance at the people beside me boosted my confidence. With Aiden’s hand in mine—like it had always belonged there and Eli practically glued to my brother, I had nothing to worry about. Well, except maybe hoping I sounded a bit more attractive in their gossip. “Do you think they’re still surprised seeing us together, based on all these stares?” Aiden asked as we turned a corner. “I think they’re more baffled about that couple,” I said, nodding toward Eli and Arnold. “I don’t even blame them, re

Choosing the hotel wasn’t easy, I wanted a place he’d actually love, and with his personality, yeah, that wasn’t exactly simple. But I went out of my way to make sure it was right for him.After getting the place, Aiden handled most of the work from there. I guess connections pay off at times like this. I just told him what I needed, and he assured me I’d get exactly that. Honestly, I was impressed with the attention to detail.The night lights were the highlight, if you ask me. It was like watching a sunset come alive.We sat on the blanket for close to thirty minutes, my hand in Eli’s while we laughed, joked, and munched on the snacks spread out around us. My palms were getting sweaty from nerves.

Chapter: Surprises Eli’s POVI was weirdly excited about this picnic. We’d never had such a chill hangout, all four of us together, so yeah I had high expectations for fun. And okay… maybe that was mostly because Arnold and I were in the almost-dating phase now. Fine, it was a huge part of it, but hey, I’m not shy to admit it.It hadn’t been easy getting here with him. Deciding he was worth the risk, worth the possible heartbreak, had taken me forever. But once I did… everything else just fell into place.Still, no time for deep thoughts. Nova had told me to “dress nice,” which was hilarious, like I don’t always look like a snack. I finally settled on baggy brown pants, a cropped tee, and a couple of chain accessories. Cute, but not “trying too hard.” Perfect. After styling my hair, I headed out, only to see Arnold’s car waiting.I slid into the passenger seat with a grin. “I’m not sorry for being fashionably late.”He chuckled, starting the car. “And I’m not sorry for not calling you out.

At least for us. And especially for your brother.”My eyes widened, a grin spreading before I could stop it. I sat up so fast my legs nearly smacked him. “Wait. Wait.
