로그인Elgin:Still, having both of them on my side would make me the most powerful alpha among them, which was exactly why I needed Silver loyal to me.Besides, I had daughters with her.Of course, I was not going to treat her cruelly or dismiss her completely.“That’s because I believe that since two male council members died, they should be replaced by two men,” Lady Abigail finally answered.Honestly, neither my mother nor I had expected that response.And it was bad.“What kind of misogynistic bullshit is that?” I snapped, immediately siding with my mother.Lord John, on the other hand, said nothing.He simply remained silent, and honestly, I could not blame him.In his eyes, I had hurt his daughter.Especially after Silver told him I was going to marry Rosetta.Of course, he was no longer very fond of me.“Well, you’re a man yourself. You would know. Haven’t you used your title and power for your own benefit before?” Lady Abigail remarked, folding her arms across her chest.At that mom
Elgin:As I thrust into her one last time, she moaned softly and rolled onto her side.I watched her lying there naked, her breasts rising and falling as she stared at the ceiling.I knew I had given Silver the best sex of her life.We had fucked all night.That was my way of trying to win her over again, leaving behind small traces of hope for her to cling to.Hope that one day, I could belong only to her.“Are you still upset with me?” I asked, hoping her response would be different.Instead, she reached for the sheet and pulled it over herself, covering her nipples and the curve of her hips.She kept her gaze fixed on the ceiling for a moment before finally turning to look at me.“You think that’s enough?” she murmured. “You betrayed me, Elgin. You’re in love with someone else. If this were only about sex, I could get that anywhere. You know that.”Her words made my fists clench.Yeah, I knew.She could get it anywhere. She had made that clear enough.I bit my tongue. For now.“Lis
Baxter:Daniel held out his shirt to me.“Here, wear this.”I stared at it for a moment without saying anything.My shoulders were broader than his, so he must have dug out one of his baggier shirts for me.I took it from his hands and pulled it on quickly.Now, I was standing there in black shorts and Daniel’s oversized shirt.Everything around me felt unfamiliar, like I had stepped into a different world.“How are you feeling?” Daniel asked as he sat beside me.He lived in a high-rise apartment.It was beautiful, though a little too quiet right now.From what I had heard, his parents were out of town at the moment, which was probably a good thing.I really did not want to be around anyone else right now.“I just want to know who I am,” I replied.Daniel nodded slightly.“Of course. Not knowing your own name must be frustrating,” he murmured before slowly pushing the pizza box toward me.“You and Livia—” I began as I took a bite of the pizza.It felt like I had not eaten in forever.
Byron:I’ve been betrayed many times in life, but I never held on to those memories for long, and they never hurt me that deeply.This betrayal, though, truly broke me.When I returned to my pack, I had high hopes.The first thing I did was call Sean and ask him to meet me outside.I wanted reassurance that he was still on my side.However, when I arrived, I realized Ron was right.Our own people had shut the doors in our faces.Sean did not let me pass.He immediately told me that the pack members had seen Madeline’s video of her transforming into a grey wolf.According to the myths and legends, creatures like her were deadly monsters.People were never supposed to stay near them because they would eventually attack.They were nothing like werewolves. They did not understand humans.They were cold-blooded killers.I did not believe that.I wanted Sean to believe me too, but instead, he stood at the door and made it clear that I would only be welcomed back if I cut all ties with Madel
Ron:There had been so many deaths. So many people in pain around me.Seeing all of them suffering made my chest ache.I had already lost so much.First, I lost my grandmother.After that, I lost my mate. I lost my child. And now I had lost my friend too, Baxter.And now this.“Please stay with me,” I said to Lord Jonah as I rushed toward the road.There was a very high chance Byron’s pack would respond positively, just like Byron had suggested.Even if some of them were upset that Byron was supporting Madeline, many would still stand with him.At the very least, we could gather help for Lord Jonah.Even if we had to lie to them for it.Even if we had to tell them this had nothing to do with Madeline.At that moment, that was the only thing running through my mind as I carried him.Honestly, though, deep down I knew Lord Jonah was not wrong.Madeline would probably never be able to accept it, but there was no way Baxter could have survived for that long.How could he have?We did not
Baxter:I opened my eyes to find a man with glasses leaning over my bed.My first instinct was to get defensive and shove the monster away, but then I realized it was just some four-eyed freak staring at me.I didn’t recognize him.Then I took in the room around me.I could tell it was a hospital room, but I had no idea where I was.About half an hour later, another doctor came in and explained that I had been in a coma and that they had been trying to wake me up.The four-eyed freak eventually introduced himself as Daniel.He explained that he worked as an assistant to a researcher who had been treating me.Apparently, she was the one who created the medicine that finally woke me up.And now she was sitting right beside me.There was something strangely familiar about her.It felt like I had seen her before, known her before even, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t place her.Why couldn’t I remember her face?Why couldn’t I remember my own name?Then she introduced herself as
Madeline:“I know I shouldn't have done that. I wish I hadn’t. Now I’ve lost everything. And he has the videos. I know he will come back to blackmail me again,” Yuvonne cried.I was shocked by everything she had been telling me. I reached for her hand and squeezed it."It was not your fault," I mur
Madeline:A few days ago, I had arrived at Elgin's pack for work.But the real reason was that I wanted to get my hands on his phone and delete the video.The moment I arrived, he was standing at the doorway, almost as if he had been waiting for me.Just looking at him annoyed me."Hi," he greeted
Byron:Sitting next to Madeline, the woman I respected more than anyone in my life, felt wholesome and strange at the same time.She was stressed over people who were not even directly related to her. I could understand her feeling bad for Ron, but Yuvonne had hurt her badly in the past. Yet here s
Madeline:“I don’t get it. What did I do that is upsetting you so much?” I asked, watching him clench his jaw at me. Like, if he could, he would just strangle me right here.It was scary to see this side of Ron because he was not the kind of guy who acted this way. Which is why I understood that wh
