Harley’s P.O.V.

I stood in the hallway, wondering what exactly Carlos wanted to talk about now. As he had given me the time frame of fifteen minutes, I made sure to take full advantage of it, wasting them in unnecessary matters.

So, when I walked towards mhis office, my heels clicked like guilty footsteps, each step an echo of wasted minutes.

By the time I reached the top floor and knocked on the door, I was a bundle of stray nerves and sweaty palms. The mere thought of being scolded for an unknown mistake churned my stomach as I poked my head in, breath held like a secret.

“Good morning, Alpha.”

I murmured, but Carlos didn’t look up, his eyes were fixed on the laptop’s screen. His expressions were as usual unreadable, holding the faintest curve of pride, something distant and diplomatic.

Then another man’s voice came.

“It’s truly an honor, Alpha Carlos. My Howling Shadows Pack is very grateful. Our marital alliance will strengthen us both, and my daughter, she is thrilled b

    Harley’s P.O.V.Derek’s voice followed me, clinging like smoke. But I kept walking, chin high, heart cold. I remembered the way he sneered, the way he spat out insults about Carlos like they were facts carved in stone. The things he had said weren’t just offensive; they were unforgivable. Derek had mocked the only man who ever stood up for me. I could never hear any bad words about him.So, I didn’t owe a second of time to Derek now!However, that stubborn man flashed in front of me, appearing too suddenly like a ghost. I froze, my breath catching in irritation more than shock.“Please, Whisker.” He spoke softly. “I just want to say I am so sorry.”Raising a brow, I glared at him, unwilling to let my guard down.“Sorry for what? For calling the man who saved me a bloodthirsty monster? Or making me feel like an idiot for believing the truth right before me?”As Derek had challenged me that soon, Carlos’s true colors would be revealed in front of everyone, I didn’t hesitate to

    Harley’s P.O.V.As Carlos’s voice sliced through the air like a blade, I spun on my heels and saw him descending the stairs in that commanding stride. He was wearing a black suit, his sharp expressions unreadable.“Alpha!”My heart thudded against my chest as I tried to explain, pulling my hands away. But Xander beat me to it. He replied calmly. “Harley has helped us a lot. So, I was thanking her. We couldn’t have arranged a funeral without her.”Although his words were carefully picked, his sudden causal demeanor worsened it. It wasn’t a gratitude, but just a performance. Carlos titled his head. His crimson eyes were now fixed on Xander like a hawk.“If she was this valuable, if she meant anything to you at all, then why did you cheat on her, Xander?After all, a woman like Harley is hard to find.”I gasped, stunned by the question, like how raw and direct it was. Carlos didn’t bother with the formalities and confronted his nephew, asking the question that pinched me every

    Harley’s P.O.V.Ava’s secretive mode rang ominous bells in my head, alerting me. So, I didn’t waste a second and assured her.“I won’t breathe a word of it, Ava. You can trust me.”Nodding slowly, she walked closer, dropping her voice to a whisper even though there were only us and our fur babies. “The phone call that you overheard isn’t the only thing related to this issue. Yes, Alpha Benjamin of the Howler Shadow Pack has proposed a marital alliance. It’s real!But it’s a part of a big political game.”Placing the towel on the counter, she continued seriously.“The real matter is a million dollar explosives deal between the Royal Army and Alpha Benjamin. That pack wants influence in the council along with hefty money, trapping Carlos in a political marriage for their future benefits. It’s not something Alpha asked for or accepted!They all are playing games for power, control, and profits. Carlos is being pressured from both sides.”From what she explained, it dawned on

    Harley’s P.O.V.A wave of silence hugged me the moment I stepped into my apartment, the kind of comfort I was yearning for a few hours. Ava placed the fruit basket on the counter and bent to unclip her heels with a groan.“I am not made from funerals.”She said, eyeing Star, who immediately pounced towards her. My baby considered Ava her friend right after meeting her in the Ledger mansion. So she wagged her tail in pure joy when Ava stroked her head lovingly.“This little girl is fit for every public gathering. She is so friendly.”I offered her a tired smile and let my bag slip from my shoulder. “Thanks for giving me a lift. I sincerely appreciate it, Ava.”Wrapping a throw blanket around myself, I sank into the corner of the couch, relaxing my taut muscles. I just wanted to hug Star and sleep right there. Ava also plopped beside me, stretching her legs with a dramatic sigh.“Well, I didn’t come here on my own. So, you can save your gratitude speech for later.”Her casua

    Carlos's P.O.V. Grief hung heavy in the air, clinging to every surface like a fog I couldn’t shake off. Xander clutched me like a drowning man, his sobs tearing through the silence of the mansion’s hall. I stood still, arms around him, but my mind, my eyes searched for Harley. Where did she go? I had seen her, just a glimpse. Her face pale, lips trembling, eyes red with grief. She looked lost. No, worse than lost. Like someone holding herself together by a thread. And then she vanished from my view. I wanted to go after her to pull her aside and ask if she was okay, but I couldn’t. Not with Xander clinging to me like I was the only thing keeping him upright. A wave of irritation surged through me as I wanted to ask him why now? Why cry now when you were the one who kicked out your own mother from her home? Where was his filial piety when Luna Samantha was suffering at a care facility, and he was enjoying his life? Well, I had to bite my tongue to halt these queries. I could

    Harley’s P.O.V.Goddess!My mouth went dry as I stepped back, every instinct screaming to run off and never look back. The documents were in my bag, every file that Carlos needed. It felt like I was only one breath away from being exposed. Star whimpered softly, pressing her head to my chin. Her warmth calmed my racing heart, reminding me of the reason why I came here in the first place.I thought inwardly. “No, I can’t let Xander find out.”Swallowing a lump in my throat with great difficulty, I forced a nervous chuckle.“You think I am hiding confidential files here? These are the Star’s adoption papers from the shelter where she ended up after being abandoned heartlessly.Do you want to check the papers which prove that no one can separate us now?”My heart raced at a fucking thousand beats per second as I begged my goddess for a miracle, hoping that my last-minute excuse would work its magic. However, Xander wasn’t showing any sign of calmness at all. Instead, he kept g
