登入Samantha “Anything can happen out here, even a sinking ship.” Raymond said as his eyes gleamed with satisfaction. It was at this point i noticed something. The way he addressed Zephyr. No title. No respect. Nothing. To Raymond, the Alpha of Silverclaw wasn’t a leader. He was simply an obstacle. A problem that needed to disappear. “If you really plan to sink this ship, then why should I even listen to you?” Zephyr slowly rose to his feet. His patience was clearly running out. He had barely gotten halfway up when something crashed onto the deck in front of him. A large brown sack. It moved. “Mhmm… Mhmm…” My eyes widened. “There’s someone inside!” The scent hit me almost immediately. It was a familiar scent but I couldn’t quite place it. But Zephyr clearly could. Without hesitation, he dropped down and ripped the sack open. A gasp escaped me. “Mona!” “Mom!” Her wrists were tied. Her ankles were tied. Duct tape covered her mouth. The sight sent another wave of
Samantha My entire body turned cold.I couldn’t stop staring at the little boy lying on the deck.One second he had been standing beside his parents. The next, Rowan had pulled the trigger, and the child was gone.Just like that.As if his life had meant absolutely nothing.As if he had been nothing more than a nuisance standing in Rowan’s way.My hands started shaking.Then his mother’s scream tore through the air.The sound cut deeper than anything else around us. I had heard people cry before. I had heard fear, grief, and pain. But this was different. It was the kind of scream that came from a person whose entire world had just been destroyed.My stomach twisted.Before panic could completely swallow me, Zephyr reached for my hand.His fingers closed around mine firmly.The warmth of his grip grounded me instantly.I looked down at our joined hands and swallowed hard.He wasn’t letting go.No matter what happened, he wasn’t letting go.Taking a shaky breath, I forced myself to loo
Samantha “HELP! HELP! SOMEONE’S BEEN SHOT!”The scream tore across the deck, shattering the peaceful atmosphere in an instant.I froze.For a moment, I couldn’t even process what I’d heard.Then Zephyr’s arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me firmly against him. Almost instinctively, he stepped in front of me, placing himself between me and whatever danger had suddenly appeared.Every muscle in his body had gone rigid.“W-what happened?”My voice trembled.Just moments ago, we had been talking about our future. About children. About building a family together. Now panic was spreading across the ship like wildfire.“I don’t know.”His eyes swept across the deck, scanning the growing chaos.Then his expression changed.Following his gaze, I looked toward the crowd.Several men dressed in black were moving through the passengers.My stomach dropped.They carried rifles with complete confidence, their movements calm and controlled. Not one of them looked nervous. Not one of them looke

I lay against Zephyr’s arm, trying to catch my breath after everything that had happened between us since dawn. Hours had slipped by without either of us caring about the time. We had even missed breakfast because neither of us had wanted to leave the other’s arms.Beside me, Zephyr lifted an arm to cover his eyes as he exhaled heavily.“Was I too rough?”A small laugh escaped me. There was still a faint ache between my thighs, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle.“Kind of,” I admitted, biting my lip. Then I turned toward him and rested my hand against his chest. “But don’t worry. I really enjoyed it. I mean that.”His expression softened immediately. He brushed his fingers along my cheek before leaning down to kiss me.“Are you hungry?” he asked. “Do you want me to bring something back from the restaurant?”I thought about it for a moment before shaking my head.“How about we go together? I want to see more of the ship.”There was no way I wanted to spend the entire day inside o
Samantha For a few seconds, I couldn’t say anything.My mind had gone completely blank.I just stood there staring at Zephyr, one hand pressed over my mouth while tears streamed down my face.The ring.The sunrise.The look in his eyes.It all felt unreal.Somewhere in the back of my mind, I was aware that he was still kneeling in front of me, waiting for an answer. But my heart was beating so fast that I couldn’t seem to make my mouth work.Then I saw the expression on his face change.The hopeful look in his eyes faltered, replaced by concern.“Samantha…” His voice was softer now. Careful. “If this feels like too much, it’s okay. You can say no. I’ll wait as long as you need.”My chest tightened.“No.”The word slipped out immediately.Zephyr blinked.For a moment, he looked genuinely confused.“You… you’re rejecting me?”Despite the tears pouring down my face, a laugh escaped me.Honestly, only Zephyr could come to that conclusion.“No,” I said, shaking my head. “I don’t want to r
Even though five years had passed, my appearance still looked as young as before, and that was one of the advantages of being a werewolf. We weren’t immortal, but our aging process was three times slower than humans. That was why werewolf celebrities tended to have longer careers compared to ordin
As two weeks passed, I finally had to attend the hearing. I hadn’t expected Zephyr to come with me because of his busy schedule, but he decided to drop all his workload for one day to accompany me."You really don’t have to do this." I lowered my head and looked at my shoes on the ground. "Mr. Laws
I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep in Zephyr’s arms. The worst part? He didn’t even wake me up or carry me to his bedroom. When I finally woke up, it was already a new day. I rubbed my temple as I slowly opened my eyes, feeling slightly dizzy from sleeping too long. The unfamiliar
Eleanor’s words hit like cold water being poured over Zephyr’s head. She sneered at him—and at me—her gaze filled with disgust. I tightened my grip on the chair. I had expected this. From the Lloyd family. From the Silver Claw Pack. But that didn’t mean I could accept being painted as some wi
