Vivienne

“What’s wrong with him?” I ask, feigning innocence while swirling the wine in my glass. My voice is all airy confusion, but my eyes? Sharp as glass.

Celestria doesn’t skip a beat. She grins like she’s holding a secret weapon.

“Well, don’t mind him,” she says with a laugh, sitting back like she’s hosting a show. “After all, he’s not into double dates. He wants it to be just the two of us.”

She lifts her brows, lips curling in a wicked smile. Like she just dropped a bomb and expects me to flinch.

As if I care.

I give a little shrug, all nonchalance. “Then maybe he should’ve stayed home and played with his ego.”

Azaic nearly chokes on his drink, grinning as he sets the glass down. “Ouch. Savage.”

“You have to follow…” Shelby is suddenly signaling me from across the room, her face pale and urgent, eyes flicking toward the hallway like she just saw a ghost.

My brows knit. I don’t know what’s going on, but Shelby never looks like that. Not unless it’s serious.

“I’m sorry, I have to

    “Too late for what?” My voice cracked, and I hated how small it sounded.Zara’s eyes flared, like I’d just asked if fire burned. “For you to still have a choice, Vivienne. That’s what.”I blinked, tightening my hold on my son. “What are you talking about? I don’t—”She let out a laugh—sharp, humorless, like broken glass. “God, you’re still so stubborn. Always thinking you can walk into a den of wolves and come out clean.”“I’m not afraid of Celestria,” I snapped, finally finding my voice.“Good,” Zara said, leaning in until her forehead almost touched mine. “Then be afraid of Darius.”That shut me up.The silence between us was a pulse, loud and heavy. My wolf stirred, unsure, sensing the storm behind Zara’s words.“What—” I started, but Zara cut me off with a single look.“Don’t play dumb with me,” she hissed. “You think I don’t see the way he looks at you? Like you’re a mess he wants to own and ruin at the same time?”My stomach tightened. “That’s not—”“Don’t lie. Not to me.” She j

    VivienneHer words made something primal in me twitch.“I didn’t bring my daughter,” she said, the way someone might mention forgetting a handbag. “But I can for sure accompany him—”Her eyes were on my son.My son.Like he was a stray, like he needed escorting, like she was offering me a favor instead of reaching for something that did not belong to her.I didn’t respond.Didn’t blink. Didn’t breathe. Didn’t give her the satisfaction of even twitching.Because if I opened my mouth, I wouldn’t be able to stop.Celestria kept smiling, like the predator she was, all glossed lips and manufactured warmth, hiding razors in every syllable. She tilted her head slightly, still speaking at me, not to me.“He’s such a darling,” she cooed, bending down slightly as if to meet his gaze, “Does he know how lucky he is? To be part of all this…”She gestured around like we were standing in a fairy tale, not an auction hosted by wolves dressed in cashmere and guilt.I clenched my jaw so tightly I thoug

    VivienneI don’t have time for games today. Not with my heart pounding like a war drum in my chest and my son quietly clutching my hand like he already senses the storm I’m walking us both into.The auction’s today. Not just any auction—this is where monsters wear silk, where secrets get sold behind champagne smiles. And I’m dragging my son through the fire with me because I have to find out what that doctor did. If Darius forged that DNA test, I’ll skin the truth out of someone.We arrived at the estate, all glass and steel like it’s pretending to be classy, but it reeks of blood money and fake laughter. I barely made it past the main gates before I was intercepted by some woman who looked like she eats rocks for breakfast.She raised a clipboard like it was a damn sword. “May I ask who you are?”I blinked. “I’m Vivienne Fox. I’m attending on behalf of Sebastian and Daisy Velloré.”She arched a brow like I just handed her a forged ID. “Your name’s not on the list.”Okay, bitch.“It d

    VivienneMy fists were still trembling.“Celestria?” I echoed, like his words were coated in acid. “Are you telling me she knows?”Oliver’s silence told me everything. He didn’t nod. Didn’t speak. Just stood there with the kind of guilt that ages men overnight.“That little royal parasite knew about my son and said nothing?”“I didn’t say she knew, Vivienne,” he said carefully. “I said I think she suspected. She’s not stupid. She has access to things—Vail things. And she’s been around Darius more than anyone lately.”“Of course she has,” I muttered, venom rising. “She’s probably crawling into his bed every time he twitches.”His eyes flinched at that. Good. Let it sting.I stepped forward, fire pulsing in my veins. “So what now? She knows the truth and she’s just sitting on it like a viper?”“She doesn’t know for sure,” Oliver replied tightly. “But she’s playing it smart. Manipulating Darius. Feeding him just enough to keep him calm—but not enough to snap.”I narrowed my eyes. “And wh

    Vivienne“But you know I could never turn my back on you, Vivienne Fox,” Doctor Oliver muttered, his voice husky like he hadn’t slept since I left. “That night you walked away—I should’ve stopped you. I should’ve done something reckless.”He paused, dragging a shaky breath. “But instead, I did this.”I narrowed my eyes. “This?” My voice cracked like lightning.He looked at me, guilt carved into his features. “You don’t know how many times the Alpha has cornered me. Threatened me. Bribed me. Begged. He’s obsessed—completely unhinged—about getting to you again.”I took a step back, my breath caught halfway to hell.“But I held it down. For you. For your son. I kept him out of the fire, even when it nearly burnt me alive,” Oliver said, his voice breaking. “But now... he’s calmed down.”I blinked. “Why?”He hesitated. And when he finally spoke, it wasn’t a whisper. It was a knife.“Because he got what he needed.”My heartbeat slammed in my chest like a warning bell. “What the hell does th

    VivienneAfter the event, everything felt louder. My heels against the floor. The weird beating of my heart. And the feeling that my life can end anytime. But I had one priority—my son.I made sure he was safe, tucked away under the protection of Daisy and Sebastian’s eyes. No one gets past them. Not tonight. Not ever.Then I turned my attention to the real threat.I spotted Doctor Oliver slipping through the back corridor of the eastern wing, walking too fast, too quiet—like someone with something to hide. Like someone about to meet the devil.I moved quicker.He didn’t expect me when I stepped into his path, cutting him off like a blade to the throat.He skidded to a stop.Then, that smug little smile curved his mouth like venom.“You’re really like your mother, Fox,” he said, voice low and oily. “Showing up without saying a word. Always watching. Always silent. Dangerous little trait you inherited.”I didn’t smile.I didn’t blink.I just stared into his eyes with no soul behind mi
