AARON

The city's pulse pulsed at my feet, its unconquerable beat stoking mine. I stood in my penthouse, looking out over the sweeping skyline that sparkled under the light of midnight. Down there, the world was frantic, discordant, and irrelevant. I ruled it all from where I stood—the fashion empire I had built as a cover, the intricate traps I wove, the lives I controlled at will.

And none of it counted. Not really.

She did.

Hailey Quinn.

Her name was a chant that went on in my mind, a hymn that increased its urgency with each day. I had seen her first in the reports of my spies, a shadow figure wrapped in secrets and unleashed might. And then I saw her close up. All else fell into nothingness when I looked upon her for the first time. She was not just beautiful; she was goddess-like. Potent. Destined for greatness. And she would belong to me.

I padded barefoot back from the window, walking across the marble floor of my penthouse suite. The inside was a reflection of the duality of m

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 219: MEET YOUR KIDS

    AUDACUSThree years.Three long, measured years since Serenia arrived at my doorstep, eyes wide with terror and something far more useful: desperation. She came to me broken, bleeding fear, dragging the consequences of her betrayal like a chain around her ankle. Pregnant. With Ryan’s children. It was divine. I had planned a different way to rule, yet she brought me a simple and swift solution to steal control of our world, and boy, the irony of it all! In spite of his claims of never-ending love, Ryan betrays Hailey, and it stuns even me when I reflect on the fact that the idiot doesn't understand that she never had a choice when it came to the children she had with me and she was thoroughly unconscious when the whole ordeal happened. Yet instead of helping her heal, he turned his back and went to Serenia's bed then the fool got her pregnant. Hailey buries the story, but I don't react, for three years I raised his kids as mine, got their loyalties, and made them my foot soldiers to do

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 218: BACK HOME

    RYANI’d never known silence could be so deafening. The hum of the engine, the crunch of gravel under the tyres, the faint creak of the old gate as I stepped into the palace grounds—all of it felt unreal and surreal. Like I was walking through someone else’s nightmare. Except it was mine. All mine.I didn’t expect the event to feel so heavy. My limbs dragged with every step I took, my chest felt constricted, and the palace loomed ahead; a place that once meant sanctuary now felt like judgement incarnate.The guards straightened as I passed. They didn’t say a word. I didn’t need them to. My shame was written in every line of my body.I walked in. My boots echoed against the marble. Hailey’s scent still lingered—jasmine and something wild. I paused outside the study door. For a second, I thought about turning back. Pretending none of this had happened. But that wasn’t who I was. No matter how badly I wanted to crawl out of my skin.I opened the door.She was sitting by the fire, wrapped in h

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 217: SERENIA FLEES

    ISAIAH The scent of incense lingered as I stirred awake in the candlelit silence of my chamber. Visions don’t ask permission—they come like tidal waves, dragging you under with their weight just as always. Tonight, one had come with fire, grief, and a cold truth I could no longer ignore.I sat upright, my head pounding as the echoes of the vision lingered in my mind. Serenia. Ryan. A kiss stolen in shadow. A motel room drenched in guilt and silence. The look in Ryan's eyes—vacant, then furious with self-loathing. And Serenia's… triumphant. Calculated. There was more. A darkness that slithered from their moment, fracturing bonds not just between lovers, but across the pack, across the realms. Nothing will ever remain the same after this as he has broken the most sacred bond.The vision had come like a storm, not with the usual whisper of the future, but like a scream. A scream from the balance of hidden depths itself.I rose, drawing on a simple shirt and cloak, leaving the sanctity o

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 216: BROKEN-HEARTED

    JADEN The scent of old bark trees, burning lavender, and polished incense wrapped around me the moment I stepped into the study. Mother always kept this room like a sanctuary, quiet and untouched by time and presence, a temple of thought. I hadn't told anyone I was coming it's meant to be a surprise. Cheesy yes especially considering the fact that my brothers and I were parents now and I had pulled a tantrum and hated my mom the most for dividing us all but the more I grew the more I understood her and after becoming a parent myself I appreciated her more. Something inside me just pulled me here and no matter how hard I tried to shake it off I couldn't. Mother needed me.She didn't hear me enter.She sat with her back to the door, draped in her silken veil, that same ethereal fabric that always hid more than her beauty. She was staring at a map of the realms, fingers ghosting over one of the old battle zones, the one where she had almost died, she was so focused and lost in thought t

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 215: NUMB

    HAILEY: At first I thought I was having a terrible nightmare but the headache was splitting, I looked at my body and found various rashes, ugly, skanky, disgusting rashes and my wolf Amenia silent, cowering and shivering after separating herself from me. I force myself to stand because there's no point trying to heal my wound, it won't heal. It's a wound from the mate bound. Ryan has done the unthinkable, he not only had sexual intercourse with another woman, he knotted making her pregnant despite hearing me continously warn him about his closeness to her and he said there was nothing between them but nothing so far has led to this but rather than feel rage I feel nothing but numbness. I take my bath myself, not allowing any of the maids to see my body to avoid any form of rumour flying around and dress up covering myself up and looking like an Arabian princess with a little piece adorned in gold covering my mouth and every exposed part of my body covered in traditional tattoos. I

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 214: LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT

    RYAN The rain began just as I shut the motel room door behind me. It pinged off the roof in a rhythm that mirrored the storm inside my chest. A dull ache had settled behind my eyes. The silence in the room screamed louder than any council chamber ever had. No guards. No royal quarters. Just four walls and a bed that smelled like bleach and regret. I wanted the quiet. I craved it. And yet, it grated against me like broken glass. Jackson and Logan had followed me, but I’d sent them away. I am too pissed to be reasonable at the moment and my emotions keep spiraling out of my control. I should hear her out, get to the bottom of things but the fact that kids that aren't mine but of hers and our mortal enemy's checks me wrongfully. I had sworn that any children carried by her will be mine and mine alone yet for some reason she has not one but two existing out there. There were words I couldn’t say with Jackson and Jermaine hovering, thoughts I couldn’t afford to speak aloud. If I stayed i
