Kaela’s POV

“You’re working seamlessly, Aunt Giulia.” I warmly linked arms with Mrs. Medici.

Yes, Aunt.

Giulia Medici, my mother’s closest friend during her studies in Florence, was like a sister to her, a she-wolf of impeccable grace and bloodline, and a sharp mind honed by decades of navigating international pack politics.

“That price,” she said with a wink, “even I feel a bit guilty about it.”

“To deal with wolves, you need a rifle.” My tone sharpened. “Besides, that tower in Milan? The keys

    Taren’s POVRhett’s voice blasted from my laptop speakers, sloppy with drink and full of pride. I could handle him bragging about Kaela’s crash. I could handle him talking about money like it was blood. I could even handle him calling me useless.Then he said my mother’s name. He said it like a joke.Something hot snapped in my chest. My hands curled into fists so hard my knuckles ached. I stood up so fast the chair scraped the floor. The room felt smaller. My eyes stung. I could hear my own breathing, heavy and loud.I reached for the recorder.Kaela stepped in fast and caught my wrist.“Taren,” she said, sharp and steady. “Don’t.”I yanked once, not to hurt her, but to get free. “He talked about her like she was trash.”Kaela didn’t let go. “I heard it. But listen to me.”I stared at the black screen like it had burned a mark into my eyes. “I’m going to release it. Tonight. I’ll send it to the werewolf police, the tribunal, every reporter who ever wrote a lie for Eleanor. I’ll ma

    Kaela’s POVThe auction ended with polite applause and tired smiles. People stood, adjusted their clothes, and moved toward the exits in slow waves. Taren stayed close to me, one hand at my back, guiding me through the crowd without pushing. I could feel his focus on me, like he was checking my face every few seconds.I thought we would leave without trouble.Then Eleanor stepped into our path.She didn’t raise her voice, but she didn’t need to. A few nearby guests slowed down to listen, pretending they were only looking for their coats. Eleanor’s eyes moved over me like she was judging something she already disliked.“So this is what you’ve become,” she said. “You buy attention with money you didn’t earn, and you hold onto my son like a badge.”Taren’s arm tightened around my waist, but he did not speak. He watched Eleanor with a calm that felt dangerous.Eleanor continued, her mouth sharp. “You were born low. You will stay low. Don’t lie to yourself and think you can change that by

  • Fake Amnesia, Claimed by My Ex’s Brother   Chapter 36- The Box That Wasn’t the Prize

    Kaela’s POVSelene’s crying finally slowed, but her eyes were still red. “There’s something else,” she said. “Something you need to know.”I sat on the armchair across from her. Taren stood beside me, arms folded, silent but alert.Selene swallowed. “That night,” she said, “after you were attacked by Rogues… when they said it was just a random ambush near the bridge…”She looked at me directly, guilt and fear mixing in her eyes. “Rhett told me he planned it.”“He what?” I asked. Selene nodded, tears welling up again. “He got drunk. Really drunk. ‘He said he had orchestrated the incident and planned to gradually seize control of Kaela's parents' inheritance and insurance payout”“That’s not all,” she whispered. “I got scared, so I started recording him. I pretended I was just listening, but I kept my phone on. He talked for a long time. About you. About the inheritance. About the accident. About how he’d convince you to sign things ‘for your own good’ while you were weak.”I stared at

    Kaela’s POVThe supplier’s car finally pulled away from the curb, and his workers followed in silence. The people who had come just to watch trouble started leaving too. Only a few reporters still hung around the gate, cameras raised, waiting for more drama. My anger had cooled, but I was still on edge. I turned to face the cameras directly.“I’ll say this once,” I said. “Any media outlet that publishes lies about me or my studio will receive a defamation lawsuit. I have full quality reports and contracts. If you twist facts, I will take legal action.”They looked at each other. No one shouted a question. One by one, cameras lowered. A few mumbled to themselves and walked toward their vans. Within minutes, the sidewalk was mostly clear. The noise dropped, and the front of Werewolf Aviation finally felt like it belonged to us again.I looked back at Sophie. “Collect every document related to termination notices and legal documents. Put them in order and back them up.”She nodded. “I’

    Kaela’s POVWhen I woke up, I felt an arm around my waist and a solid weight behind my back. I knew right away it was Taren.For a moment I stayed still and let myself breathe. Then everything came back in a rush with Rhett in the alley, the van, the ropes, the drug, Taren breaking down the door. My stomach tightened, but I stayed calm. I was in our room. I was not there anymore.Taren shifted and looked down at me. His eyes lookedtired, but focused. “You’re awake,” he said. “How do you feel?”“Like I got hit by a truck,” I said. “But my head is clear.”Some of the tension left his shoulders.“Thank you,” I said quietly. His brows lifted. “For what?”“For coming. For getting me out.”He gave a short smile. “Of course. I have to serve my Fate mate, don’t I?”My face blushed. I looked away, but his words settled deep. Out of habit, I reached inward for my wolf. Nothing answered. Just an empty space where she should be.I felt uneasy. “Taren,” I said slowly. “I can’t feel my wolf.”His f

  • Fake Amnesia, Claimed by My Ex’s Brother   Chapter 33- When Fever Broke the Distance

    Taren’s POVBy the time we reached the apartment, Kaela was barely conscious.Her head rested against my chest, her skin hot even through my shirt. I carried her straight to the couch and eased her down, trying not to show how much my hands were shaking.Her eyes fluttered open. They were unfocused, glassy with fever.“It’s okay,” I said, more for myself than for her. “You’re strong. You’re safe.”She didn’t answer, just breathed in short, uneven bursts.I put my palm against her forehead. “You’re burning up,” I muttered, the calm in my voice cracking for the first time. I grabbed my phone and called my private physician, forcing my tone to steady as I gave quick directions, then rushed into the bathroom.Cold water. Clean towel.I soaked the towel, wrung it out, and came back to her. Her body was trembling, her lips pale. I laid the towel across her forehead.She let out a small sound, filled with half relief and half pain. Her teeth chattered. Her shoulders shook.I grabbed a thick
