POV: Olivia

The safehouse was too clean. Too quiet. Silence that made me itch, like the whole city outside was holding its breath.

The kids were curled on the rug in the den, pretending to watch cartoons but really watching him. Luther sat at the far end of the couch, elbows on his knees, eyes fixed on the blackout windows like the storm might still be waiting out there.

Hyden peeked at him from under his lashes, lips pressed thin. Lily’s fingers twisted in her pyjama hem, her brave eyes darting between me and the stranger who smelled like us. Daisy perched on the rug’s edge, head cocked as if working out a riddle. None of them went closer—but none of them looked away.

I stepped into the hall, shut the door softly, and called Aria.

She answered on the first ring. “Liv? Where the hell are you? I just walked through your house—blood on the door, glass everywhere—”

“I know,” I said, keeping my voice even. “We’re safe. The kids are safe.”

A sharp inhale. “Tell me.”

So I did. Clipped, like

  • Alpha’s Regret: His Luna, His Heirs, His Redemption   Unwelcome Guest

    POV: OliviaThe boardroom emptied like a tide pulling back from glass.Chairs sighed. Laptops snapped shut. The air smelled of espresso and projection screens, that sterile mix that always made me feel competent, contained. My CFO mouthed we’re good, stacked the quarterly deck with neat precision, and retreated with the others. The last thing to leave was their cologne: citrus and certainty.This was my world. Polished oak. Low voices. Signatures that moved money more quietly than any war.I stood at the head of the table, palms flat on the glossy wood, and let the win settle. We’d beaten the forecast by two points in a quarter that should have buckled under rumour. I’d spun my absence into a strategy, fed the press curated photos, and let a deputy sit in meetings that would have sniffed weakness. We were whole. Steady. Fine.I repeated that as I walked the corridor lined with awards, gala photos, and a candid photo of my team celebrating the IPO. I told myself again when I caught the

  • Alpha’s Regret: His Luna, His Heirs, His Redemption   Lines in the Sand

    POV: OliviaThe safehouse smelled like Luther—cedar, gun oil, the faint iron edge of a world I’d kept at arm’s length. I’d told myself a dozen times I could live in two worlds: the glass towers of my company and the dark, wolf-ruled corners where men settled fights with teeth. Standing in his kitchen as steam fogged the windows, the impossibility of that lie felt like a bruise.“The kids are asleep,” he said, voice trying for casual but landing like a rock in the sink.I kept my hand on the counter because if I didn’t I would have crossed the room and pulled him close on instinct. Instead, I used the steadiness of the marble to hold myself upright. “You can’t keep playing both sides.” My jaw did most of the speaking. The words burned. “This is my company. My life. You don’t get to—” I swallowed. The truth curdled. “You don’t get to claim both worlds.”He watched me for a long, steady beat. No apology prepped like a shield. Just the tired weight of a man who’d learned to carry battles

  • Alpha’s Regret: His Luna, His Heirs, His Redemption   The Human Angle

    POV: Olivia The gala smelled of money. Not the clean kind—new cars and glass towers—but the old kind, rubbed into velvet curtains and polished oak, into cigars and brandy poured since men in this city first thought themselves kings. I hated every second of it. But I had to be here. Investors needed reassurance. A company that could survive rumours, rogue competitors, and even whispered threats about its reclusive CEO was a company worth betting on. Tonight, I was the mask they wanted to see. Aria stayed behind with the kids, promising her knife would sleep under her pillow and her eyes wouldn’t close until I returned. That was the only reason I walked out the door. I wore armour disguised as silk—a black gown that skimmed without revealing, fabric that whispered wealth without surrender. My hair was pinned high, my lipstick precise, but underneath the polish, my skin crawled. Every chandelier felt like a spotlight. Every champagne flute rang like a blade. Daniel offered his a

  • Alpha’s Regret: His Luna, His Heirs, His Redemption   A Grandmother’s Oath

    POV: ElaraThe Red Moon compound did not rest easily that night.I felt it in the stone floors beneath my slippers, in the way the banners along the corridor shifted though no wind passed. Servants whispered in corners, balancing trays as if their silence could hide the tremor in their hands. Guards changed posts with clipped steps, eyes fixed ahead so no one mistook them for listeners. Even the wolves in the yard were restless, ears twitching at shadows.The house itself had absorbed the clash between father and son. A storm had broken in Marcus’s study, and the air still tasted of ash and fury. Men said little, but the walls carried their voices. I had lived with these walls long enough to hear them.I sat in my Luna’s chambers, ledger open but unread. On the desk lay a knife, honed sharp, not for display but because words are not always enough. Beside it, a small carved wolf, once kept in the nursery before my sons grew into men and their father turned their games into drills. I ha

  • Alpha’s Regret: His Luna, His Heirs, His Redemption   The Alpha Defies

    POV: Marcus The house smelled of last night’s fire—embers, whiskey, and the faint metallic tang that follows blood. For once, the scent did not belong to me; it clung to the morning like a verdict. My steward had rolled the reports and placed them on my desk as if bundling a confession. Tracker returns. Wound patterns. A sound the men could not name except to call it a howl with too many voices. They said Iron Fang had limped back, tails low. They said they had dropped to their knees at something in the street. They said they had run to Red Moon, not from it. They spoke the word already pulsing in my veins—heirs. Luther stood in my study like a guest I had not invited—tidy, upright, bred to command. He had not been seen at the compound since the night the raiders were driven off. Men like him usually went into their dens, into their bottles, into the claws of wolves who knew no shame. But Luther had been elsewhere. A safehouse in the city. My scouts traced him through the rain. H

  • Alpha’s Regret: His Luna, His Heirs, His Redemption   Safehouse Fractures

    PIV: OliviaThe safehouse was too neat.Too clean. Too still.Not mine. His.Every surface whispered Luther’s presence—polished steel fixtures, stacked supplies, a couch that looked more like a military cot in disguise. Nothing out of place. Nothing soft enough to belong to me or the children. Even the air smelled of him: cedar, gun oil, a hint of smoke.The children felt it. I could see it in every twitch and fidget.Hyden drummed his fingers on the coffee table until the beat rattled my skull. Lily paced the rug in circles, twisting her sleeve until the seam gave way. Daisy abandoned her crayons after the fifth sheet filled with black scribbles.They weren’t supposed to live like this—caged animals pacing, waiting for the next strike.I tried to bury myself in work. My laptop glowed too bright against the dim safehouse lighting, screen filled with emails piling faster than I could skim. “Board seeks clarification on your absence.” “Client reassurance needed.” “Press request: rumours
