Seven

The night stretched long and restless. I pulled the blankets higher, unable to sleep. The apartment felt too quiet. Eve had gone to her boyfriend's place, so it was just me and the boys.

I had locked every door, checked every window twice. Still, I felt exposed, like Xavier was creeping into my space and pressing against the walls.

A whimper broke through the silence. Jermaine was calling for me. My heart clenched as I scrambled out of bed and rushed to his side. He was curled up under the covers, struggling to breathe.

"Oh no, not now," I groaned, my heart banging against my rib cage.

"Baby," I knelt, brushing curls from his forehead. His skin burned under my palms. His eyes cracked open.

"Mommy," he said weakly.

I scooped him into my arms, cradling him against my chest and rocking him. I reached for the bottle of medicine on the nightstand and pressed it to his lips.

"Here, sweetheart, just a little sip."

He swallowed sluggishly. His breathing still sounded rough, but after a

  • Fighting For The Alpha's Mark   Seventy-One

    Xavier I spent time in this secluded house in spiritual preparation before the coronation ceremony. There were prayers and rituals to mark the significance of the occasion. The elders had spent three days fasting and meditating to help me transition into my new role.The temple walls held the kind of stillness I hadn't known in a long time. No phones, no technology, nothing. Just those stones, the scrolls, and the echo of my thoughts. They called it my fattening ritual, which was ironic because the elders were fasting while I ate, rested, and meditated. It was a rite passed down to prepare a ruling Alpha soul for leadership.But right now, I wasn't thinking about ancestors or spiritual energy.I was thinking about the fastest way to destroy Gregory.I bit into the chewy roast meat and sipped some wine. I was eating, yet I had no appetite.How could I have been so blind?The whispers and subtle shifts in loyalty had always been there, glaring at me and making me look like an utter

    Sophia I stood at the landing of my house, overlooking the foyer where three guards were walking up the staircase. They were my most trusted, even though trusting anyone these days was just a game of chess you could win or lose. They stood stiff at attention as they approached me, bowing their heads in greeting. I motioned at them to follow me, then we headed to the balcony to avoid anyone hearing our conversation."Listen to me carefully," I said, my eyes bouncing from face to face. "No one steps foot past the gate of that estate without my authorization. I don't care if they're from my husband or even my father himself." The head guard shifted uncomfortably and couldn’t meet my gaze. "I know you are loyal to him," I continued, taking a step forward. "If you report what's going on or breathe in his direction, I want you to remember something." I lifted his chin, looking him in the eye. "I know where all your family members live—your children's schools, their exact schedules. If you

    Savannah I returned home drained. My legs moved, but I barely felt them beneath me. I couldn’t remember walking through the door or removing my shoes. I was floating, heavy and light at the same time, stuck between exhaustion and awareness.Xavier wasn’t home. Thank God. I climbed the stairs slowly and reached the bedroom. The door shut behind me. I leaned back against it. The silence hit hard. It folded around me, blocking out everything else. Nothing in here was mine.The bed. The clothes. The photos. All hers.The one who was alive. The one who had every right to it all.I pulled my dress off with one hand and let it fall. It crumpled at my feet. I stood in the middle of the room, wearing nothing but guilt and dread, staring at the shadows on the floor.I was foolish.How had I ever thought I could stand up to Gregory? What power did I think I had? I wasn’t a leader. I wasn't in the military. All I had was a stolen name.Everything I was trying to expose had probably already bee

    Savannah “Dad?” I said, my voice cracking.He turned. His face lit up, and without a word, I ran into his arms.“Grandpa!” the boys shouted behind me, and they followed.The hug we shared wasn’t clean or graceful. It was full of exhaustion and held-together strength, the kind that breaks when held too long. When we finally pulled apart, I turned and noticed the silence behind me.My mother stood a few feet away, her arms crossed.My father looked at her.She looked back.They didn’t speak. They didn’t need to.Something deep passed between them, something old and unfinished. Not love. Not yet hate. Just... something.And for a second, I wondered if this was how Xavier and I would end. Soulmates broken by life’s sharp turns.“They’ll be safe here,” my mother said to me. “As for you, you have to go back. I don’t want Xavier suspecting anything. The coronation is coming. One more scandal will ruin everything.”I nodded. What choice did I have?After saying goodbye to the boys, I fed the

    Savannah She watched me with red-rimmed eyes. Slowly, the tears she had tried so hard to trap began to fall. I’d never seen anyone cry like that. Her shoulders trembled. Something had broken deep inside her and she was powerless to stop the collapse.Just moments ago, she had sliced me open with every word, peeled back my skin with accusations and truth I couldn’t deny. And now, in the same breath, she crumpled in front of me like a house of cards finally giving up its fight against the wind.Her sobs were broken that came from somewhere too deep to explain. Her hand shot up to her mouth, pressing hard like she was trying to keep something locked inside. I stood there, rooted. My arms were useless by my side. My throat was dry.I had no idea what to do.But instinct kicked in. Cautiously, I approached her. I bent down beside her, lowering myself until I was eye-level with the woman who had given birth to me. My knees touched the grass.“I’m sorry,” I whispered.She didn’t respond.

    Savannah Fear crawled up my chest like it wanted to rip through skin and bone. Goosebumps ran along my arms and back.Eve’s hand found mine the moment we saw my mother.“Breathe,” she whispered. “Whatever happens, stay calm.”But how?How could I stay calm when she was right there, standing at the front door with her arms folded, not a smile in sight, not a trace of welcome on her face? Her eyes were locked on me like a hawk watching a mouse. Her mouth twitched. There was no warmth. Just her icy presence.And that wasn’t even what terrified me most.It was the sound of tires crunching into gravel behind us. The click of a car door opening. Xavier stepped out of the car. He looked completely clueless.She was going to tell him. Right here. Right now.He smiled the moment he saw her. “Sophia,” he greeted, walking toward her. “You were missing in action last night. We had a swell time.”She chuckled. “I heard. I wasn’t feeling so well.”She turned her eyes to me. “But I thought I’d vis
