LOGINElla’s POVI stand in the middle of the room restless, and he suddenly becomes shocked when he sees me.“You're burning up!” he says quietly.“Yeah, I am, thank you for reminding me.” I laugh shakingly.His jaw tightens, but he says nothing about my tone. Instead, he closes the door behind him and stays where he is, watching me carefully. “Since when did it start?” he asks.“About an hour.” I wipe a hand over my face, already frustrated by how shaky I sound. “Immediately I step out of the car, I think it’s too early for it.”He nods slowly, but the tension in his body is still visible enough for me to see.He is trying to act calm. It would almost be impressive if I did not know him so well.“What do you need me to do?” he asks.The question hangs in the room. My gaze lifts to his face.I can see the calmness and humbleness in him.“You’re so frustrated, Jax.” I murmur in a low voice.He looks terrified already, and he has no idea what I want to do with him.I take one slow step towa
Ella’s POV All through our tour from the Clinic, to the defense center, Control facility.In every explanation, and every facility, Jax is acting like it’s his final wish to show me around.We come back into the corridor of the control center, and I finally speak up to him.“This is getting very funny,” I say with a mockery tone. “Jax is just showing me everywhere like he’s about to die tomorrow.”Jax stops walking. He slowly turns his head to look at me.He is looking tired and exhausted, his face is already pale from the stress and overthinking.Lucien sighs a little and say my name softly.“Oh,Ella!”“What is it?” I snapped back. “I am not wrong, can’t you see how he’s acting all righteous? He acts like he is passing down a kingdom in a will.”Aria looks at me closely, like she is about to talk, but takes a little pause to pick her words carefully.Jax still does not answer. He just keeps staring at me.That silence feels worse than anger.Lucien then steps forward a little. “Ella

Jax’s POV While in the office, I begin to hear footsteps approaching from the outside.It becomes louder, like the person approaching was very close.Marcus quickly straightens up at his desk and pretends he has been working the whole time. I stay almost still, but my attention sharpens right away.Then the office door opens, and Lucien, my brother, walks in first.He looks like he always does, very calm, and clean.He is well dressed as if nothing in the world is bothering him. He walks in with ease, like everything is already in order.But the moment his eyes land on me, his expression changes slightly.I notice a soft flicker in his gaze, something gentle and personal, before he quickly hides it again and returns to his usual calm face.Aria, his wife, is walking beside him.She walks in steadily, like she is on a runway.Her posture is calm and straight, and her gaze looks steady. Her hands stay loosely clasped in front of her, but her eyes move quickly around the office.She lo
Jax’s POV“I wiped her off to be with Elsa, if she would even accept me.” I shake my head. “I heard of it, that you killed her and that it wasn't suicide, you know I just wanted to hear it from your lips.” His face grew tight. Partially he's angry, the other side, he can't judge me. “Hmm,” I breathe hard.“This is a really serious case, what are you going to do now?” “The only person who can help is the king and for the king to help me, his daughter must speak to him.” I say grudgingly. “But the problem is if she will want to.” Marcus rises from his seat, heading to me. “But why did you do that to her?” “Why didn't you send her away like you did Elsa.” I smile. “I never wanted her back in my life.” I grunt. The difference is clear, I knew I'd get Elsa back one day, if not now but one day but Vanessa, I didn't want her back, not even in my dreams. I'm quite clear about this and will never regret it. “You haven't told me what she did to you.” “She and my dad planned to kill El
Jax’s POVI have been humiliated from the moment of the gala until now, with my father’s crime being placed on my head.Now I am being held here in the Regalis Pack Detention Center, and the silence here feels cruel.It is the kind of silence that presses heavily on my chest and reminds me every second that I am no longer I used to be.The Alpha’s influence is gone now. My father is dead, and my foster brother does not care about me at all.Even Ella, who once loves me and has enough power and influence to stop this arrest, only stands there and mocks me.Now I am just a prisoner. Just Jax Steele, kneeling on the hard floor with bruised ribs, split lips, and chains around my wrists.I keep my head down and stare at the scratches on the floor beneath me. My knees ache from being forced to kneel. My shoulders feel empty, and my body still carries marks from the last beating.I lose count of how many times they drag me out for questioning and how many times I tell myself to stay calm.May
ELLA'S POVThe moment I step inside my apartment, I slam the door shut behind me.I press my back against the door, finally allowing myself to breathe, my hands tremble uncontrollably.“Ella?” Sophie’s voice comes from the kitchen, then I begin to panic.I quickly wipe under my eyes just before she
ELLA’S POVThe second Alpha Steele turns to look at me, I immediately realize something is terribly wrong.This is not just simple anger. It is a rage, a dangerous one.His heavy footsteps boom through the hallway of the pack house as he marches straight toward me. His cold gray eyes are on me with
Jax's POVAs I walk into the meeting room, my dad looks at me sharply, in an angry way. Alpha Lucas beside him sighs and shakes his head. I know I have offended them.“What an insult!” Alpha Steele shouts as he quickly stands up. I freeze, as my eyes widen in shock.“Alpha…” Lucas warns my dad. He’
Ella's POVMy hands rest gently on him as we lie together, thinking about the romantic moment we just shared. My breathing is still uneven, trying to catch up with the reality. I lift my eyes to his face, softly tracing his face with my fingertips while he looks back at me with raw, seductive eyes.
