Chapter 54: ♥ Fated FireEnzo’s POVI froze, my heart pounding like a war drum as Noah stood there in the doorway, his wide eyes locked on mine. For a moment, the entire room went silent. My chest rose and fell with heavy breaths, and even Moses stopped growling for a heartbeat, pausing as if he too felt the shift in the air. But then the reality hit, sharp and brutal—Noah was here.Too close.Too exposed.Moses snarled in my head again, claws scraping against the inside of my skull, his voice dark and primal. Protect him. Get him out. Now. My mother’s words still echoed in the back of my mind—I’d like to meet him. She’d wanted this moment. She wanted him vulnerable, right where she could see him.I stormed over to Noah, every muscle in my body coiled tight, and pulled him into my arms, holding him against my chest like I could shield him from everything. My voice came out rough, breathless, strained with fear and anger.“Why’re you here?” I rasped, gripping his shoulders firmly, my
Chapter 53: ♥ Blood and BondsEnzo’s POVI stared at my mother, my words hanging heavy in the air “But a Vengas can… right?”Her laugh came sharp and cold, slicing through the silence like a blade. It wasn’t just a laugh; it was a warning, a challenge. She leaned back on the couch with effortless grace, crossing one leg over the other, her smirk taunting me. Her dark eyes burned with power, and for a second, the weight of her presence pressed against my chest, threatening to crush me.“You’re not just foolish, Enzo,” she said slowly, each word deliberate, icy, dripping with venom. “You’re stupid. You think a Vengas can stop me? Me? Your mother. The one who made you, who gave you this power, who shaped you into what you are? I am stronger than you will ever be.”Her words hit like fire, scorching through me, but I refused to let them see me break. I stepped closer, my boots pounding against the polished floor, each movement fueled by Moses roaring in my head. His claws raked inside m
Chapter 52: ♥ Defiant BloodEnzo’s POVI growled, my fists clenched so tightly my knuckles burned as my mother’s words echoed in the room — she wanted to meet Noah. My Noah.Her cold eyes glinted with something dangerous, her smirk sharp, like she already had him in her grip. Every part of me screamed to protect him. I glanced at Dean, standing there with that smug look on his face, acting like this woman hadn’t made our lives hell.Moses roared in my head, pacing and clawing, urging me to tear them both apart right where they stood. But Noah’s face flashed in my mind — his soft smile, his trembling voice when he once asked if he was a monster. That memory grounded me. I’d die before letting her anywhere near him.I stormed toward Dean, my voice low, sharp, vibrating with restrained fury.“You serious… bringing her here?” I hissed, my eyes blazing red. “This woman the one you know damn well, can't even be called a mother? After everything she’s done to us?”Dean didn’t flinch. He just
Chapter 51: ♥ Mother’s WrathEnzo’s POVMy heart stopped as I stared at her — my mother. The woman I thought I’d never see again.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Her presence filled the room like a storm building inside four walls, thick and suffocating, pressing against my chest. Her eyes — sharp, cold, and unreadable — locked on mine, and every old wound I thought I’d buried clawed its way back to the surface.Moses growled deep in my head, pacing, claws scraping, his instincts screaming warnings I already knew. She wasn’t here to talk. She wasn’t here for me. She was here for trouble.I forced myself to take a step forward, though my legs felt heavier than stone. My voice came out rough, low, shaking with a mixture of anger and control.“Why are you here?” I asked, my jaw tight, my gaze narrowing. “What do you want, Mom?”She didn’t answer. Didn’t even flinch. Instead, she walked right past me, the soft rustle of her clothes the only sound in the room. Her heels clicked deliber
### Chapter 50: ♥ Crown in Shadows **Enzo’s POV**I sat at my desk, my hands shaking as I gripped the council’s letter, their words like a blade in my chest. *Step down as Alpha or face exile. We don't need an Alpha who decides to keep a vengas as a mate. We hereby reject you as our Alpha.* I growled, ripping the paper in half, my blood boiling. How dare they think they can take my title? Moses roared in my head, his claws scraping, demanding blood. I grabbed the lamp and threw it, the crash loud as it shattered against the wall.The council, how dare they, who the hell do they think they are to reject me? I paced, my boots slamming the floor, my mind a mess. Should I storm the council, make them kneel? Show them I’m the only Alpha? Make them understand who the boss and leader was?Noah’s face flashed in my mind—his scared eyes, his voice asking if he was a monster. I’d do anything to keep him safe, even if it meant burning the pack down.He might be a vengas but he is not like
### Chapter 49: ♥ Shattered Trust **Dean’s POV**Stan’s words cut deeper than any claw, his voice raw with hurt as he stood there, his eyes burning into me. “You’re the reason I’m in this mess!” he yelled, shoving my hands away when I reached for him. My heart twisted, Vex growling in my head, his rage mixing with mine. Noah did this to him—stole his wolf, left him powerless—but Stan was blaming *me*. I couldn’t breathe, the dark pull of our bond choking me with guilt and love.I stepped closer, my voice low, desperate. “Stan, what’re you saying?” I said, my hands shaking. “How am I the reason? You went behind my back, made a deal with Eric! I didn’t tell you to do that!”He laughed, bitter and sharp, his eyes flashing as he moved toward me. “You don’t get it, do you?” he said, his voice shaking. “I respect you, Dean. I’ll always respect you. But I need to be alone right now. You want the Alpha position so bad? Go get it. When you’re done chasing power, come find me.”He turned t
