LOGINCHAPTER 197: MAKING COFFEE FOR LUNA ELIZABETH CATHERINE:It was barely 5:AM when I dragged myself out of bed. The room was still chilly, and the mansion was quiet, except for a few servants who had just come out to start cleaning the house. I was up early because I had a task. I headed straight for the kitchen, my feet moving quietly on the hardwood floors. I was going to make coffee for Luna Elizabeth and serve it to her in her room.Some people would’ve looked at me and said I was being humiliated, acting like a maid in my own house. But they didn't get it. I wasn't being a slave; I was being a soldier. I was determined to win this battle, and if that meant playing nice to the woman who tried to hex me, then so be it.I brewed the coffee exactly how the head maid told me she liked it—strong, black, and hot enough to melt lead. I carried the tray up the stairs, my heart doing a nervous little dance in my chest. When I got to her heavy oak door, I took a deep breath and knocked twice
CHAPTER 196: YOU AREN'T SAFE IN THAT HOUSE, CATHERINE CATHERINE:The living room felt like a graveyard after Seraphina the witch finally gathered her charcoal shawls and vanished into the night. My heart was still beating fast against my ribs like it wanted to escape from my chest. The air was thick with the scent of burnt herbs and the lingering vibration of that woman’s scratchy voice.Jordan was staring straight at his mother, his eyes flashing a dangerous shade of amber. "Did you really do it, Mom?" he asked, his voice low and vibrating with a growl. "Did you truly pay that witch to lay a curse on my wife?"Luna Elizabeth didn't look bothered. She smoothed down her silk dress, looking as cool as an ice cube. "That woman is delusional, Jordan," she said, waving a hand like she was brushing off a fly. "She has no idea what she’s talking about. I brought her here to unravel the mystery behind that mysterious attack on you. How was I supposed to know she had gone mad? If she’s making
CHAPTER 195: SHE'S A DESCENDANT OF THE GODDESS CATHERINE:Jordan had stopped answering his mother’s calls an hour ago. In fact, he had switched it off and slammed it down on the kitchen counter. His face was as hard as stone, but that didn’t stop Luna Elizabeth. Since she couldn’t get through to her son, she started blowing up my phone.I was done making dinner and we were at the dining table eating but each time the screen lit up with her name, my stomach would flip in fear. Eventually I decided to pick up and when I did, her voice came through like an angry storm. She was screaming that heaven would fall if Jordan and I didn't get back to the mansion immediately."The witch is here, Catherine!" she shrieked through the speaker. "I can’t afford to offend her. If you two don't get back here right now, she might cast a spell on this entire family and it’ll be your fault!"I looked at Jordan, my heart hammering. I didn't want any more trouble. "Jordan, please," I begged, reaching out t
CHAPTER 194: GET HER OUT OF MY HOUSE JORDAN:Making love to my wife while she was trying to fix dinner was easily one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. There was something about the normalcy of the kitchen mixed with the raw hunger of the mate bond that just hit different. I loved the way she whimpered the second I cupped her breasts from behind, catching her totally off guard. I loved the way her breath hitched when I bent her over that cold marble counter, making her lean forward while I pushed into her wet, juicy cunt.I filled her up completely, and I could feel her pussy gripping my dick tight, like she never wanted to let go. I started to thrust gradually at first, taking my time. The scent of fresh vegetables was filling the room, mixing with the musky, sweet scent of our skin. The sound of my flesh slapping against hers started getting into my head, driving my wolf, Spark, absolutely wild.I was thrusting hard now, my hands gripping her waist so tight my knuckles were start
CHAPTER 193: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT CATHERINE:Melvin drove us away from the mansion and straight into the heart of the city. It was about a thirty-minute drive, and every mile felt like a weight lifting off my shoulders. Because I didn't take Luna Elizabeth’s threat very lightly. We pulled up to a high-end skyscraper, and Jordan led me up to a penthouse that sat right at the very top.The moment the doors opened, I gasped. It was gorgeous. The living room had these floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the entire skyline of Texas, the city lights twinkling like fallen stars. The floors were polished dark wood, and the furniture was all cream leather and chrome. It was tastefully furnished and so peaceful—a sharp contrast to the mansion, which always felt like it was buzzing with drama and bad energy. Here, the only sound was the faint hum of the city way below us."This is one of my properties. And we’re spending the night here," Jordan said, tossing his keys
CHAPTER 192: I'LL HAVE THE WITCH CAST A SPELL ON YOUCATHERINE:The walk from Jordan’s office to the private elevator felt like a victory lap, but my heart was racing for all the wrong reasons. After Jordan told me we should just go home, I followed him out, my heels clicking on the marble floor. I should’ve been happy, Diana was in handcuffs and I had my husband back, but I already knew trouble was waiting for us at the mansion.Luna Elizabeth was going to be beyond pissed. Jordan had just arrested her hand-picked candidate for a daughter-in-law, and I knew exactly who she was going to blame. Me. To her, I was just the "rogue" who had bewitched her son, and today was only going to make her hate me more.We stepped into the private elevator, the doors sliding shut with a quiet hiss. Jordan leaned against the mirrored wall, looking exhausted. When we reached the underground parking lot, Melvin was already there. The engine of the black SUV was humming, the sleek metal shining under the
CHAPTER 169: YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING MY COFFEE CATHERINE:Hearing Luna Elizabeth tell the maids to treat me like dirt was one thing, but hearing them all agree to it was another. I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and stepped into the kitchen, letting out a loud, throaty cough to let them k
CHAPTER 167: I AM HERE TO PROTECT YOU JORDAN:I left my mother sitting in the living room, looking like a storm cloud ready to burst, and headed upstairs. Every step I took felt heavy. I could still feel the heat from the argument prickling at my skin, but I had to shake it off. I didn't want to b
CHAPTER 166: I WANT YOU TO SEND HER AWAY JORDAN:After Catherine left, I stood there in the center of the living room, watching the fire behind my mother’s eyes. The house was too quiet, the kind of quiet that happens right before a bomb goes off. I took a step closer to her, my hands shoved deep
CHAPTER 168: THIS WASN'T GONNA BE AN EASY FIGHT CATHERINE:I sat in that big, fancy room after Jordan left, just staring at the expensive furniture. My mind was going a mile a minute. Had I just made the biggest mistake of my life? I’m a rogue. In this world, that’s like being born with a permanen
