ログイン“No one? What makes you think I came here alone?” Kate muttered, her lips curling into a slow, unsettling smile.Aiden’s brows furrowed slightly, confusion flickering across his face at her words. His body went still for a split second, instincts kicking in. His gaze shifted sharply around the restaurant, scanning every corner with heightened awareness.His eyes landed on one corner, two men dressed in black sat there, their posture too rigid, their attention too focused.His jaw tightened.He turned his head slightly to another corner, this time, a man and a woman, both clad in black, seated too casually, yet their eyes were locked on him.A slow realization crept in.He turned again, another pair.His chest rose and fell slowly as the truth settled in.“You see those men?” Kate’s voice cut through his thoughts, calm, controlled, but laced with quiet menace. “They came with me. They’re my wolves… and witches.” She leaned in slightly, her eyes darkening. “And they hate you.”Aiden’s f
“Not so fast, Miss….” Aiden muttered, stepping forward and blocking her path completely, his broad frame cutting off her escape. Alpha Alaric stood up immediately, his chair scraping harshly against the tiled floor. Kate let out a soft, nervous laugh, though the tension in her shoulders betrayed her unease.“Aiden, I only came to town to present a proposal to your dad so we can work together again… I don’t know if you have any other ideas about me, that I came to Red Moon Pack for another reason, but it’s not true…” Kate muttered, her voice steady on the surface, but her fingers subtly tightened around her handbag. Her heart thudded loudly against her ribs, faster than normal, but she forced her breathing to remain even, forcing composure onto her face.“I never said you had any reason for coming back to Red Moon Pack. I never accused you of anything… so why suddenly so defensive?” Aiden tilted his head slightly, his gaze sharp, calculating, almost predatory. “Or do you feel guilty ab
Meanwhile, in a small restaurant downtown in Red Moon Pack, Alpha Alaric is seen entering the building. The atmosphere inside was warm, but the tension on his face made it feel colder around him.He stopped at the entrance for a moment, dark eyes scanning the space slowly, deliberately. His gaze moved across tables, chairs, strangers eating and talking, he looked around until his eyes landed on her.Kate.His jaw tightened slightly.He moved forward with steady, controlled steps until he reached her table. He stopped right in front of her and looked down at her with a blank, unreadable expression.“Kate Blackwood…” he muttered, his deep voice cold and firm.Kate stood up immediately, a slow, confident smile curling on her blood-red painted lips as if she had been expecting this exact reaction. She looked unchanged by time, if anything, more dangerous.She was dressed in a striking red gown that hugged her figure perfectly. Her grey silk-like hair flowed over her shoulders, and her bro
Meanwhile, Aiden’s car came to a stop in front of the pack house and just as he was about to enter the house, he had seen James’s car drive inside. He then looked away without reacting, jaw tightening briefly, and walked inside the house, making his way straight to his office.The moment he got to his office, he closed the door behind him and rested his back against it for a moment. His chest rose slowly, unevenly, as if even breathing had become heavy. His eyes burned, tears prickling at the edges, but he blinked them back immediately, swallowing hard as though forcing the emotion down his throat.He pushed himself away from the door and sat on the chair in his office, elbows resting on his knees, his hands burying into his hair. His fingers gripped tightly at his scalp as pain surged through him, not just the physical ache in his cursed hands, but something deeper, heavier. Anger. Helplessness. Fear. It all twisted inside him at once like a storm he couldn’t escape.He had that woun
“What do you mean she’s different from us all and they are scared of her?” Damien asked but then Aiden didn’t say a word, he just stared at him with a cold, unreadable expression that held too many thoughts at once. For a brief second, his jaw tightened like he was about to speak, but instead he turned sharply toward his car, the tension in his shoulders stiff and controlled like he was holding something violent back.He opened the driver’s seat and got in without another glance, the door shutting with a hard, final sound. The engine roared to life immediately, and he drove off, leaving Damien, James, and the rogue Maria standing in the silence he left behind like a storm that had just passed but still lingered in the air.Damien stared after the disappearing car, his nostrils flaring as his chest rose and fell heavily. Without another word, he turned abruptly, got into his own car, and drove off immediately, tires screeching slightly against the road as his anger pushed him forward.
“Dante kept mentioning her name before he died…” she paused and stared at Aiden who didn’t utter a word, his expression tightening slightly as his mind tried to connect the fragments of information.“I saw the people who took her last night and I think I know where they took her to…” she said and Aiden stared at her, reading her facial expression and she didn’t seem to be lying. His gaze lingered on her eyes, scanning for hesitation, deceit, fear, anything. But all he saw was panic mixed with urgency.“Where was she taken?” Aiden asked.“I don’t know the name of the place but I can only take you there…” she said and Aiden stared at her and took a deep breathe. His jaw tightened slightly as suspicion flickered through his mind. He wondered if this was a trick by the rogue and if she was the one who had taken Amelia instead.“How do I know if you are telling the truth or not? Because as far as I can remember, at the hut that day I met her unconscious and you were there…” Aiden said as h
“…I didn’t even say goodbye to my mom,” Amelia whispered again, her voice barely audible as she collapsed against Aiden’s chest. Her body shook with sobs, every breath trembling as though grief itself was tearing her apart.Aiden’s throat tightened. “I’m sorry,” he murmured, his voice rough with em
Amelia stood near the bathroom door, every muscle in her body taut with unease. She could hear his low growls of pain, the faint clatter of something hitting porcelain, and the sharp, metallic scent of blood seeping beneath the door. Her knuckles brushed against the wood as she knocked again…softer
Aiden’s car screeched to a halt in front of the penthouse. The night was deep, silent, and broken only by the low hum of the engine and the faint rustle of leaves in the wind. He stepped out swiftly, his jaw tight, the world around him a blur as he rounded the car and opened the passenger door.Ame
Amelia froze. His lips brushed her… soft, desperate, fleeting — like a memory come to life. For a suspended heartbeat, the world stopped spinning. The air thickened around them, drenched with the scent of his cologne and the faint trace of blood on his skin. His breath mingled with hers, warm an
