Author's POV

"Where's Dad?" Chloe looked up from her corner, suddenly realizing her father had vanished.

Taylor glanced around. "Bathroom, maybe?"

Elijah refilled Mandy's glass. "He said he needed air. Went outside."

He personally handed the drink to Mandy, his voice dropping. "I can't drink tonight. Will my dear sister drink for me?"

A mocking smile curved across Mandy's striking face. "Is that a threat?"

"How could it be?" Elijah swirled his own gla

  • Claimed by My Best Friend's Alpha Dad   Chapter 258 Secrets and Lies

    Lina's POVI escaped to the restroom to fix myself.The mirror showed everything—the bite mark on my neck, still raw and red. My eyes reflecting that shimmering mix of longing and devastation.I covered my face with both hands and let out a soft, broken sob.When I finally left the restaurant, I ran straight into Chloe."Lina! What are you doing here?" Her voice was bright with surprise.I forced a smile that didn't reach my eyes. "Meeting a client.""But you quit K&S, didn't you? Mandy told me you went to work at some historical restoration studio. You still meet clients there?""Yeah.""It's getting late. Let me drive you home!""No need. I have my car."The car was a gift from Jasper for my eighteenth birthday. I rarely drove it—it had been sitting in the Lockwood Pack garage all these years.When I quit and moved out to rent my own place, Elena had insisted I take it."Lina

"Call it... interest on a debt."Mandy's hands clenched into fists.Taylor quickly intervened, worried these two would cause a scene and ruin his carefully laid plans. "I'll drink it for Mandy.""Seems I'm not welcome here." Elijah's tone went cold."Cross, don't start shit!" Taylor hissed.Mandy snatched the glass from Elijah's hand and downed it in one motion. "Satisfied?"The heat in Elijah's eyes intensified. "My sist

    Adrian's POV"Either Jasper gives up everything and marries her."My voice came out rough, scraped raw by the words I was forcing myself to say."Or she leaves Ravenport and starts over. Free. Just Lina Ward living her own life."I stood on the top floor of Rose Haven, the words hanging in the air like smoke. Maybe I was talking to Derek and Silas behind me. Maybe I was just talking to myself.I was forcing Jasper to make a choice—the final choice. If he truly loved her, he'd have to put her first. Above everything else. Above pack politics and family expectations and his own ambitions.No matter which option she chose, I wouldn't let Lockwood Pack fall. I'd make sure of that much, at least."She chose neither option." The words tasted like ash in my mouth. Self-mockery twisted through my chest as I continued."She chose to sell herself instead. Made herself into a bargaining chip for Hayes Pack. All to save the Lockwoods

    Lina's POVI stood outside the Black Olive Restaurant, feeling a wave of grim determination settle over me.I'd called Matthew Hayes—the Alpha's son I'd been set up with on that blind date months ago. The one I'd rejected because I was still married to Adrian.When I'd mentioned a potential business collaboration on the phone, Matthew had been immediately interested. Eager, even."Miss Ward!" Matthew stood when I approached the table, his eyes sharp with curiosity.I sat down and pulled out the contract I'd prepared, sliding it across the table."If you're ready to move forward, Mr. Hayes, we can sign this right now. Don't worry—Alpha Victor has already reviewed it. Once we sign, it's binding."Matthew's eyes narrowed as he studied me. "I have to admit, Miss Ward, I'm impressed. You even got Alpha Victor on board.""Very few people in our circles know that Adrian and I got married and divorced," I said evenly.

  • Claimed by My Best Friend's Alpha Dad   Chapter 254 The choice that breaks everything

    Lina's POVI met his icy gray gaze head-on."Force him to choose between pack interests and me?"The realization crashed over me like a wave of ice water. He knew. He knew that Jasper and I had only been together for three months before an arranged marriage tore us apart.And now he wanted me to go through that same torture again?But Adrian was the one who'd saved me from that painful Chapter of my life. He'd been my hero. I'd fallen in love with him, been willing to charge into battle for him, to become the perfect Alpha's mate that high society demanded.And what had he done?Thrown me away.And now he wouldn't let anyone else have me either.He was going to make me the discarded choice. Again."Adrian Storm!" The fury in my chest was too much to contain. "What gives you the right?!"My hand flew up before I could stop it, connecting with his face with a sharp crack that echoed through the parking garage.

  • Claimed by My Best Friend's Alpha Dad   Chapter 253 I Heard Everything

    Lina's POVI found myself standing in the underground parking garage beside Adrian's black Maybach, my hands trembling so badly I had to clench them into fists.I hadn't expected to hear any of that.But I had left my phone in Jasper's room on purpose. I had turned on the Bluetooth connection before walking out.I'd heard every single word of that conversation.The elevator dinged behind me. I knew without looking that it was him—could feel his presence like electricity raising every hair on my body.Adrian's footsteps slowed when he spotted me. I felt rather than saw him freeze, clearly not expecting me to be here.I turned to face him, keeping my voice as neutral as I could manage. "Alpha Storm. What will it take for you to leave the Lockwoods alone?"Adrian's fist clenched so hard I heard his knuckles crack. "What did you just say?""You heard me correctly." I forced myself to meet his eyes even though it felt like star
