(Almira’s POV)

[Three Days Later]

After five years, I’m finally back in America. Leaving my kids and family behind wasn't easy, but I promised them that I will not stay here for a long time.

Just like the plan, I’m going to represent our pack in the assembly.

That's it.

Despite my personal plans to form alliances here, I thought I should do that once I get a better grip of the situation here in America.

A lot can change in five years.

But that remains the same here is the power of the people who almost killed me. Everywhere I look, I see only one thing. I see the logos of their company plastered everywhere like decorations on the walls. It reminds me how powerful they are, and why I had to leave.

But they don’t scare me anymore.

In fact, the first thing I did as soon as I left the airport was to head straight to the venue of the werewolf assembly.

And like what I was expecting, it is hosted by the Hitwell family.

“Thanks,” I said to the thoughtful chauffeur who carried my suitcase for

    (Lysander’s POV)The meeting is now over, but the room is still buzzing with Alphas and Betas gathering in small groups, discussing the alliances and strategies that we discussed in the meeting.And of course, they’re talking about her, too.I should be leaving. I should be heading straight to my pack’s estate, focusing on more important matters. But my feet stay planted in the venue. My eyes unwillingly stay locked on her.Almira.It’s been five years since I last saw her.She’s stealing the spotlight from the crowd effortlessly, speaking with leaders who are twice her size and three times her age like she belongs here.Because, apparently, she does.She’s different now. Confident. Powerful. Completely unshaken by the attention she’s drawing.And damn, she’s beautiful.Her silver, blonde hair is tied in a messy bun, exposing her slender neck. She’s wearing a sleeveless black dress that hugs her curves like a glove. Her black stilettos make her legs look longer, sexier. Almira’s excre

    (Almira’s POV)This isn’t happening.This shouldn’t be happening.But it is.Lysander’s lips are on mine.For a second, I feel my world has stopped. The past and the present are mixing. I can't feel anything other than his lips that are kissing mine. My body is currently betraying me in the worst way possible. I want to push him, but my body is doing otherwise.My fingers curled into the fabric of his jacket, gripping it tightly as butterflies rumbled in my stomach.His deep, woodsy scent is intoxicating me. It’s wrapping around me like a warm embrace, making it too easy to forget everything that came before this moment.It’s like all the hatred I kept all these years vanished in just a few seconds that our lips are touching.No…I can’t let this happen.I won’t.*RING!* *RING!* *RING!*Just then, a loud ring cut through the moment, snapping me back to my senses like a bucket of ice cold water was thrown over me. My eyes flew open, and for the first time, I truly saw him.Lysander.Th

    (Almira’s POV)My flight back to Italy is tomorrow. I can’t wait to be home. I missed my kids and everything I have back in Italy.I booked myself a luxury hotel last night to ensure my comfortability tonight. I was supposed to drop by here first, but I wasn't really expecting that being here again would feel so new to me. That's why I came a little late that I entered earlier.It’s a tiring day for me, especially because of the flight that I had to take quickly just to reach here on time.Nevertheless, I’m happy about how the meeting turned out. I’m sure that my Father would be proud to know that I was able to gain the respect of everybody in the meeting.But the latter part of my day ruined it.Just thinking about it makes me want to disown myself. It’s embarrassing to the core. As a matter of fact, I’m disgusted with myself.I checked in quickly and made my way to my suite. I can’t wait to settle in for the night. I’m tired and sleepy.Once inside, I dropped my bag by the door and

    (Lysander’s POV)"Were you able to deliver the steak to Almira?" I asked the hotel staff as soon as he entered the room just beside Almira’s suite.He nodded reluctantly."Yes, sir. The steak was given to her room.,” he replied.I smirked.Almira must be asleep by now.Without another word, I slide a check across the desk. "Here's 100,000 dollars. Thank you for your service," I said.The staff man’s eyes widened in shock. He asked for 2,000 dollars, but the smallest amount I could give without hurting my ego is a hundred. "Thank you, sir," he said as he picked up the check.I watched him disappear before turning toward the spare keycard hanging on a hook. "Time to check on her," I whispered to myself.I pressed the keycard against the door. It clicked open instantly. The room was dim and silent when I entered. I found Almira passed out in the bed, her hair splayed out across the pillow like a halo.I kneeled beside her and gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Almira,"

    (Almira’s POV)I tried my best to maintain a straight face. I really want to show him that I don’t give a fuck, but my eyes are betraying me.The truth is… I am scared.I'm scared that history will repeat itself. I’m scared that he would take my kids away once he finds out that they're his children.After all these years, I thought I was ready to face him again.But seeing him now, sitting across from me with his eyes burning in a mixture of disbelief and fury, I just can’t. I feel like I’ve lost the ability to speak. I was just staring at him, wishing that this conversation would end soon.I wasn’t ready to speak to him yet.Not when it’s about my kids.No matter how much I try to deny myself. I know that I’m seeing something in his eyes. I see hope.I had just claimed that Rich is the father of my twins. Of course, he doesn't believe me. But I saw how much my words hurt him. It was almost like he wanted to hurt me because of what I said.But thinking about how I used Rich for my own

    (Almira’s POV)Back in my hotel room, I threw my purse on the couch anxiously. He didn't want me to leave, but I just stormed out of there like the bad ass bitch I am. Who does he think he is to stop me anyways?I still can’t believe Lysander cared so much for my twins. He said he searched for me. He thinks he can easily take me back with his sugar coated words? Even a kid wouldn’t believe that.How could he have searched for me all these five years when he didn’t do anything about what his father did?I wonder if it’s just another lie meant to win my trust again.I know he’ll do anything to take my kids.I mentally forced myself to focus on what’s more important. I am not here to hope for a reconciliation with him. I came here for pack matters. Nothing else.I no longer want to associate myself with the Hitwell clan.Besides, Lysander is married already to that pretentious bitch. I have moved on already. I have built my own life as a pack leader. And I am very happy with my life, esp

    (Lysander’s POV)“Get your fucking hands off me!” I shouted, throwing away the hands of my father’s guards who had dragged me out of that godforsaken hotel where Almira was staying.How dare that Beta challenge me? Even drunk, I can take him down.I’m sure they’re across the MW Hospital where I am currently staying. I beat him up real good. He’s gonna need more than just bandages for his fucking injuries. He better stitch himself before I rip him open again.Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Alpha Reginald who caused all this mess. I clenched my jaw. “Let us alone. I’m going to speak to my Father,” I barked.The guards glanced at him, as if asking for confirmation. I scoffed. Did they forget that I’m their pack leader now? Alpha Reginald nodded curtly and gestured for me to sit.I took a seat opposite him.He started, “Lysander, what is wrong with you? Do you think you’re still a teenager? You’re out of control!”A bitter chuckle escaped from my lips.I leaned forward. “Out of cont

    (Rachelle’s POV)I stepped off the set after finishing my photoshoot for the day.It was an excruciating long one, and smiling in front of a camera for hours sucks. If you think being a model is easy—you’re fucking wrong.I hate this job.Forced fake smiles plastered on my face as I greeted the staff on my way to my dressing room. Everyone is warm and enthusiastic. Don’t they get tired of saying the same thing to me everyday?‘You’re so beautiful, Rachelle.’‘Can we take a picture?’‘I love you, Rachelle.’'You have a sweet smile!'Like really? Y’all love the version of Rachelle I show you. The sweet, kind Rachelle that doesn’t really exist because she’s just a persona I created, so that I could gain fans who would make me popular and successful.But I’m at the peak now. I’m done using them. It doesn’t mean my responsibility as a fucking celebrity ends there, though.I still have to give their fucking pictures.I nodded politely at their well-meaning greetings even though I feel nothi

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 92 Dinner

    (ALMIRA’S POV)I knew something was off the moment I walked into the garden.There were candles. Candles and flower petals and a blanket set out beneath the peach tree. The same tree where Asher and Hazel used to build their stick forts. Now it looked like a page outNow it looked like a page out of some fairytale I’d never believed in. A small table stood nearby with food—warm, freshly cooked food—and two glasses of sparkling elderflower wine. And there, sitting under the tree with sleeves rolled up and a nervous smile on his lips, was Lysander.“What… is all this?” I asked, raising a brow as I stopped at the edge of the scene.Lysander stood, brushing off his pants, suddenly looking like the awkward boy next door and not the powerful Alpha of one of the most formidable packs in the region. “It was their idea,” he admitted, nodding toward the house. “The kids said you’ve been too serious lately. They thought… maybe you deserved a break.”I blinked, stunned. “You let them set this up?

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 91 Another Chance?

    (Almira's POV)It’s raining again.Not the kind of storm that rips trees apart or makes the sky look like it’s bleeding—just a soft, persistent drizzle. It slicks the earth, darkens the windowpanes, and blankets the world in a hush. Everything feels quieter in the rain.I sit curled up in the large armchair by the hearth, an old, knitted shawl draped over my shoulders. My fingers absently trace the rim of the mug in my hands—lukewarm tea now, the scent of ginger and lemongrass still clinging to the steam.Hazel is humming under her breath as she braids wildflowers into her doll’s coarse black hair. She talks to it as she works, whispering stories about ancient queens and brave daughters. The stories sound suspiciously familiar—versions of mine that I thought she was too young to remember.Asher is attempting to levitate an apple again. His brow is furrowed in concentration, little fingers twitching in midair.I feel the power swirl around the fruit—a low thrumming that vibrates just b

  • My One-Night-Stand Alpha   Chapter 90 The Revelation

    (Almira’s POV)The night smelled of blood.Not wolf blood. Not human either.Magic.Ancient. Rotted. Old as the bones buried beneath this cursed land.I crouched low against the balcony stone, my hand wrapped tightly around the dagger hilt strapped to my thigh. The wind tore at my cloak as voices rose below — one I knew like the rhythm of my own breath.Lysander.And the other?Sweet. Sultry. Pretending to purr even now, even with the scent of death hanging in the air.Rachelle.I should’ve known. I *did* know. Every inch of my body had screamed it from the moment she looked at Hazel and Asher like they were keys instead of children. But I needed proof. Not just instinct. Not just rage.And tonight, I had it.I watched them through the cracked marble archway. Lysander stood stiffly, shoulders taut, his silver blade slick with fresh blood — not his own. The scent was still risi

    (Hazel's POV)The honey cakes taste too sweet. Like they’re trying to cover something up.I chew slow, just like Mama told me—never trust sweetness too fast. Especially from someone who talks too soft and smiles too much. I keep my eyes half-closed, the way wolves do when they’re watching something dangerous.Rachelle’s voice is like syrup, sticky and fake. “I want to help you, Hazel. You and your brother. I want to teach you how not to be controlled.”I blink at her.That word. *Controlled*. I don’t like it. It sounds like cages and chains and being told what to do with the thing that burns under my skin. I don’t know what I am yet—but I know I’m not a tool. And neither is Asher.She leans closer, like she thinks we’re sharing secrets now. “People are always scared of what they can’t control. Even your mother.”I sit up straighter. “My mom&rsquo

    (Rachelle’s POV)Later that eveningThe night is soft and heavy with the scent of pine and late-blooming jasmine. The wind hums outside my window, stirring the curtains like a lullaby. It should be calming.But I’m wired.Because they didn’t push me away today.Hazel didn’t glare as hard. Asher actually asked me a question. It was small, meaningless to someone who doesn’t know what to listen for—but to me? It was everything.“Can you do magic too?”A casual question from a curious boy, sure. But it meant he was wondering. Wondering if he could learn something from me. Wondering if I had answers that no one else had given him. And most of all—if I was different from the grown-ups who only saw his power as something to control.That’s how it starts.It always starts with wonder.Hazel, though… Hazel is different.She’s the hard one.

    (Hazel’s POV)That night, I didn’t sleep.The cake Rachelle brought was still sitting on my windowsill, getting all stale and sticky. I didn’t even take a bite. I just looked at it, trying to decide if it smelled weird. It didn’t. But it still made my stomach feel funny.Not the cake.Her.I curled under my blanket and hugged Bramble, my stuffed bear. I told Mom I was too big for him now, but I wasn’t ready to let him go. Bramble didn’t judge me when I was scared, or when I had to think real hard like tonight. He just stayed.“She’s not like the others,” I whispered to him.He didn’t answer, but I pretended he was listening.Rachelle’s eyes were too shiny when she smiled. Not in a nice way, like Mom’s when we do something good. No, it was the kind of shiny that hides sharp things. Like when a fox pretends to be a friend.I touched the charm she gave

    (Rachelle's POV)Hazel is quiet the rest of the visit, but she doesn’t push me away.She watches. Listens. And when I say I should get going, she stands and walks me to the door."Will you come back tomorrow?" she asks, her voice feather-light, almost fragile.I blink, surprised. “If you’d like me to.”She nods slowly. “I think I would.”And just like that, I win a sliver of trust. Or so I think.Or so I believe.The next day, I return with more treats—berry tarts this time, and a little charm I enchanted myself, something subtle. A protection token. Fake, of course, but believable enough for a child.Hazel accepts it without a word. But when I sit across from her, I notice something... off.She’s smiling.It’s small. Barely there. But it’s a real smile. And it’s not for me—it’s for herself.“Do you like ridd

    (Rachelle’s POV)Reginald is an idiot.A powerful idiot, yes—but still an idiot. He thinks I’m working for him. Thinks I’m here to win *his* little power struggle against Almira. He thinks I’m just a jealous mate, clinging to my position and my unborn child like it's all I’ve got.He has no idea.As I leave his office, I let my expression shift slowly back into a soft, concerned smile—just enough for the omegas walking by to see. I even rub my stomach as I pass them. Let them think I’m maternal. Harmless. That’s how you survive in a world of wolves.You act like the sheep.But I’m not here to be Reginald’s puppet or Almira’s shadow. I’m here for the twins.Hazel and Asher.I saw them once—just a glimpse—when Almira brought them inside. Hazel’s eyes locked on mine for barely two seconds, but I felt it. Raw energy. Magic that made the hairs on my arms rise.They're different.And I want them.Not because they’re cute or royal or whatever Reginald imagines. No, I want what’s *in* them. P

    (Reginald’s POV)I slam the crystal tumbler down onto the desk. Whiskey sloshes over the rim and soaks into a pile of reports I’ve already read twice. Nothing in them helps me. Just more useless updates from spies, empty words from the council, and—worst of all—nothing about how to control the damn twins.They’re under my roof, eating my food, breathing my air. But I can’t touch them. Can’t use them. Can’t even speak freely around them without Almira sniffing out my intentions.She ruined everything.She stormed in like some returning hero, claiming motherhood and moral high ground like a prize. The pack flocked to her like sheep. Even Mid—my Beta—has started tiptoeing around her like she owns the damn place.I stand up, pacing across the room. My heels echo off the marble floor, loud and angry.The children—Asher and Hazel—are something different. My Beta confirmed it. Hazel nearly melted through a silver pot in the kitchen, and Asher?
