Se connecterDiegoDianne had completely lost her mind. She was totally and utterly insane to think she had the ability to blackmail me with demands of five million.“I never knew you to be a fool, Dianne,” I mocked harshly. “You've just proven to be the biggest fool I've ever come across in my entire existence to think I have five million to give to you.”My response took her by surprise, but she doubled down, thinking she had a hold on me. “I know you have the money, Diego. You have something I need, and I have something you need. If I don't walk out of here with five million, the entire kingdom will have all the evidence that will ensure your downfall.”A sound left me. At first, it came out as a chuckle, but then it grew into something hysterical. Unhinged. “I don't have any money!” I barked.“What?” She looked stunned. She should.“Yes. You heard me right,” I said with venomous mockery. “That whore—Sapphire—somehow managed to convince Ashton to freeze all of Lana's assets.”Dianne's face was
Chapter 96DiegoThe letter I received from one of my betas was from the Werewolf Council. I grabbed the piece of paper from within his grasp and read its contents before the Silvercrest council.“Another bloody meeting,” I murmured.This could only mean one thing.The investigation currently happening in Silvercrest had already circulated around the kingdom. That was the only explanation I had right now. That had to be the only reason why the Werewolf Council would call another meeting.My fingers curled as I clenched my fist, the paper shrinking beneath them.It looked like I was in for another round of scrutiny from the entire kingdom all over again.I lifted my eyes up to the long council table. The council members were all staring at me, their eyes filled with questions.“This meeting is over,” I announced, standing up immediately. The longer I entertained the elders, the closer I was to completely losing my mind.I walked out of the room. My steps echoed through the hallways, lo
DiegoTime and time again, Ashton Blackthorne and his mate, Sapphire, keep finding ways to screw with me. They just find creative ways to disrupt my life. My pack.The second the authorities told me their purpose for coming to Silvercrest—to investigate the circumstances of Lana's death—I knew instantly Ashton had something to do with it.But… how? How did Ashton manage to figure out that Lana's death wasn't natural? Did that bitch Sapphire say something? She must have managed to plant the idea to investigate Lana's death in his head.I remembered vividly when she had come rushing down the stairs when Amethyst and I were about to seal the deal in our marriage, blatantly accusing both of us of poisoning Lana. However she found that out still remained a mystery to me. Back then, I couldn't properly figure out if she was just throwing baseless accusations or if she truly knew something about Lana's death.Unfortunately, my inability to get to the bottom of it grew because the Moon Goddes
LanaAshton and I were curled under the sheets of the bed, our legs touching each other, our eyes locked in. I was completely lost in the gaze of his cold blue eyes. The old me would have been petrified at the thought of staring into his eyes just after we made love.The sex—it was amazing. My mind replayed every second of it. Every thrust. Every time he groaned my name and I moaned out his name in response.“What are you thinking about?” He asked in a soft whisper. His finger brushed a loose strand of my hair away from my face.“Hm nothing,” I lied.He let out a soft chuckle, then asked, “Are you sure? Something tells me you were thinking about sex.”My face instantly turned red. I rolled over the sheets and turned my back against him, hiding how red I had become. How does he do that?“I knew you were thinking about that,” he laughed.“Shut up!”All my worries about Diego and Amethyst and getting justice for myself had completely vanished for a moment. All I could think about was sta
LanaFreezing my assets, away from Diego's claws felt like victory. I remember standing there when Ashton gave the order using his series of network to freeze everything I once had.Somewhere far away, I knew Diego’s safety net had just been ripped out from under him, and the thought of that satisfied me more than it did.Ashton even went a step further today when he dropped an anonymous tip to the authorities about my death being a possible murder.I remember turning to him so fast, panicking slightly. “You did what?”And he just shrugged casually and dry like it was nothing. “I don’t like loose ends.”Ashton assured me that with everyone breathing down Diego's neck, he was doomed. He was right. Diego was cornered, his money—well, my money—was gone, and now the law was sniffing around his neck.But why did I still feel like something still wasn’t finished?Even now, sitting across from Ashton hours later, I couldn’t shake it necause I knew Diego. He will refuse fall down helplessly.
Chapter 92DiegoKilling Ashton Blackthorne had to be the most enjoyable thing any werewolf, whether beta or omega, could ever do in their whole life.He wasn't invincible, I was pretty sure about that. He definitely had some kind of weakness and if I could find it, I would use it to finally take him down once and for all.But first, I needed to make a new alliance. Something strong enough that would help me bring about the complete downfall of Ashton Blackthorne.There was no way I was going to carry out an open attack on him by myself. That would just be pure suicide and I knew it. My wolf wasn't nearly strong enough to go up against his and win.Then slowly, an idea started forming inside my head. I could use a group of expendable werewolves to do all the dirty work for me.Rogue werewolves.Rogues are such pathetic creatures, honestly. That's what everybody always liked to call them. Savages, outcasts, total failures. Wolves that just couldn't fit into any proper pack. The kind th
AmethystI was irritated all over again as I remembered how my little sister, the same one I once toward over sat at the meeting and threw orders around.Provide the documents, she says.I scoffed under my breath, folding my arms tighter across my chest.“Who does she think she is…” I muttered.She
DiegoThe moment the door shut behind Amethyst, I exhaled.Hells, she talked too much. It was like having a fly buzzing around my ear that I couldn’t quite swat. Loud, pointless and irritating.Silence settled back into my office, and just like that, my head felt clearer and better.I shifted my at
AmethystSomething was off in Silvercrest, and it was starting to get on my nerves.I noticed it the moment I stepped outside this morning.These lowly servants weren’t lowering their heads fast enough like they used to and they weren’t stepping aside like they should whenever they saw me coming.T
LanaI had been walking for a while now. I halted on my steps and took one look behind me.I saw nothing but an empty road. No towering gates, no guards. No King’s Estate.Good.I turned around and kept walking, my boots crunching over the dry path as I pushed through the dark road ahead.I hadn't
