LOGINJax’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 POV I laugh out loud as I sit at the edge of the window looking out while my nanny bathes my Sophie and Aimes. After returning from the arrest, my body really needs some rest. Aside from very important things, I don't do anything. I know the workload is much on my nanny, taking care of two kids but she never complains, it's not an issue with her. Besides, she takes care of them like her own kids and five thousand dollars a month isn't child's play. I have to compensate her really well. The same price Jax used to pay me. Like a whirlwind, his request comes to mind. I burst out laughing again. I remember how he was begging me to save him. I'm the only one who can save him from Alpha Hart of the Hartwood Pack. Even the Alpha King seems to hate him after what his dad did to us. “What are you laughing at, ma'am?” Alice, who was bathing my Sophie and Aimes nearby, asked. “Hmm, quite funny. I can't believe that man would betray me and my family with his dad only to turn back and
Jax’s POVEverything is exposed, and I’m just here wondering why I did it. Regretting every bit of it.“Take him away, I won’t tolerate such an act in my pack.” Says Alpha Steele.The man that’s supposed to protect me, is ordering my arrest in front of the whole crowd.My body is shaking and shivering, not because I’m innocent, but because I’m caught. And I might probably spend the rest of my days in prison.“This can’t be the end of it.” I say as my heart is pounding hard in my chest.I look towards the throne, Ella is there, she must be tired of me, I know I have messed up.The soldiers stepped forward, each step they took made me go insane.“Dad, please do something.” I said.Trying to plead with my father, to at least pardon my act, but a murder is a very big crime to just pardon like that.But my Dad doesn’t respond, this can’t be the end of me. I need to do something.My chest tightens, Lucien is there without saying a word, the whole crowd becomes silent.I already know it.Bef
Ella’s POV She looks a little sad, or maybe not exactly sad, but like someone who has been hunted. I wonder who she is because she refuses to bow to the king’s order, I think to myself.My fingers tighten slightly on the armrest of the throne as I stand. I blink and try to see her more clearly. She is still there, very clear in my view. Then I suddenly remember who she is. It is Melissa.The realization hits me quickly. “What is Melissa doing here?” I whisper under my breath.Before I can say anything louder, the feeling in the hall changes. I can no longer see her, she is gone. I look around quickly, trying to find her, but there is no sign of her anywhere.“Moon goddess… am I seeing things?” the words slip out of my mouth.But I was not, it was all real, because others confirmed it. A few seconds later when the crowd began to murmur to the disappearance of Melissa, the King and Queen try to calm us down. Telling us to stay composed.Then suddenly, the doors at the back of the hall
Ella's POV The next thing I do is call Wendy, the person who suggested sending an email to the royal family.“How much were you given?” Wendy asks immediately she picks up the phone.I pause for a while. “Nothing,” I say.Wendy exclaims in shock. “Why were you given nothing?” she asks me. “That tr
Ella's POV The first plan definitely involves going back into that house a sex slave. That is the only way. The only problem now is that I do not have access to Jax, the same way I used to. He hasn't been to my cell for a while, but I know he one day will. When he does, I'll just be prepared for
Ella's POV I have the option to choose to be locked up and forgotten about or to still go to school, but in a disgraceful manner. I of course choose school. I do not know how disgraceful it will be, at the same time, I can not think about anything worse than what I am already facing. The first
Tears roll down my eyes as I look out the window, through my cell, looking at the outside world, a place I have no hope of being again. My best is heavy and my eyes are teary. I feel an ache in my stomach, not hunger, but regret. “I should have walked out of that house the day I saw it was Jax!” I
