تسجيل الدخولRenéeI closed the door to my guest room and leaned against it, my heart racing, not from fear but excitement.The children weren't Dante' and it only meant that Lori had been with another man. A man whose identity no one knew. A man who might never be found if she never woke up. This was the best news I've had in a while. And not just that, but her marriage with Dante was contractual... meaning that he got married to her intentionally to get me jealous... He still loved me...This was better than anything I could have planned.All those weeks of scheming... the poison, the wet nurse, the plan to cut Lori's life support, and now I didn't need to lift a finger. Lori was destroying herself from the inside. Her reputation. Her marriage. Her future. All of it was already crumbling to dust, and I just had to sit back and watch.Sooner or later, Dante would realize the truth. Lori wasn't the innocent victim everyone believed her to be. She was a woman with secrets. A woman who had been with
Janie CraneStill grounded, I could only watch the scuffle from upstairs until Dante drove away from the pack house with Lori's child who didn't belong to either of them. Good Riddance though. That child had been nothing but trouble since the moment Rhea brought him here.The door slammed open behind me and Silas stormed in, his lips still bleeding from where Dante had hit him. His eyes were wild, furious, the kind of fury I hadn't seen since the night he rejected Lori. He paced the room like a caged animal, his fists clenching and unclenching at his sides."She wasn't just cheating on me with Dante," he said, more to himself than to me. "There was someone else. There was another man. Someone whose DNA doesn't match either of us."I kept my face carefully neutral, but inside, I was smiling. Lori... Sweet, innocent Lori. The woman everyone believed was so pure, so faithful, so wrongly accused. Now, I could steadily ease my guilt about wrongly accusing her since the truth was coming out
Dante Dominic"We have something to discuss later, Marcus. But it can wait for now." I growled into the phone before I switched back to the situation on ground. "How did you find out? Was it my father's people or your own resources?""Uh..." I knew he was stumped about the first thing I said. "Dante, if it's about your father...""I'm talking about my... Lori's son. How did you find out?""From the surveillance footage." I was glad he dropped the conversation that would only bring excuses. "The woman who took the child had to walk a certain distance, going as far as using roads that had no security footage... But our surveillance team talked to people who owned shops around and other onlookers, and they confirmed seeing her. We were able to get some choppy footage of her driving away in Silas' car later that evening."My hands tightened against the steering wheel. That bastard! As if what he did to Lori wasn't enough. He had to steal his own child instead of coming publicly to claim h
Dante Dominic"Don't you have any shame, Dante?" My father's cold voice came in when he pushed open the door of my new, stifling office, and I raised my head to look at him, my wolf readying for another fight with him because his actions were getting more annoying as the days went by."What is it this time?" I slammed my laptop shut and pushed back into my chair to take a good look at him, hating the fact that he was the man that contributed to my being. "Haven't I done enough? Haven't I left my life to come slave away for you? What more do you want? And what makes you think you can be speaking to me in that manner?""I am your father, and that's what!" His eyes were still cold and his voice was as stern as I remembered while growing up. A voice that traumatized me every single time. "I should be making decisions about your life, not you running wild and bringing shame to the family name."I pinched the space between my eyebrows in frustration. I had to be calm. I shouldn't let him ra
Silas CraneI grabbed Janie by the arm the moment the council members had dispersed and the nurse and Rhea were still standing and waiting for my orders. I mind linked the guards immediately to make sure the child was safely put in the nursery while Rhea was escorted to a holding cell."My quarters, now!" My hand tightened on Janie's arm as I pulled her towards the car. She had to come with me and explain every single thing that was going on."Silas, you're hurting me—" She began sniffling, but I didn't care as I paused her into the car and drove off at once to the pack house. I dragged her through the pack house corridors, past servants who averted their eyes, past Patrick who stepped aside with a knowing look. Janie stumbled behind me, her protests growing weaker with every step.When we reached my quarters, I shoved her inside and slammed the door shut."You better start talking, Janie." I growled, feeling the rage of my wolf coming close to the surface. "What the hell was that?"
Renée I paced up and down my house, simmering in fury after Dante sent me home as if I was some little kid. I needed to do something. I needed to get back in his orbit. Dante could only be mine alone, and I wasn't going to let anyone take my spot. Be it a dying woman or a maid.I took out my phone to call someone who was usually good at coming up with ideas after I lied to them that it was for a book I was writing, but my phone rang with Mila's name on the screen.I felt my heart skip a beat, and I waited a while before I picked the call. I didn't want to look so desperate even to some lowly maid. When she answered, she was breathless with excitement, but I could also hear the annoyance in her voice as well."The house is full, Miss Renée. I was hoping to see you." In the background, I could hear loud noises like people were moving up and down, and my curiosity spiked."Why? What's happening? What's going on? Is Lori and the child back? Has the other child been found yet?" I pressed
Lori's POV "You will be starting immediately as the team's medic. I will give you our training schedules." He paused and met my eyes from across the breakfast table. "I'm sure you're already well aware of it, but for formality sake." His cutlery barely made any noise on his plate. "Don't be late.
Lori's POV "I'll need you to carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign it." He slipped the document on the hospital bed where I was having my breakfast. "I don't do second chances."His voice was hard and cold the same way it had been last night, and he towered over m
Lori's POV "My children, oh my goodness. Are they... Are they...?" I sat up immediately, my hands moving around my belly, trying to see if I was feeling any pain there, if they were fine, if they were—"Your babies are fine, ma'am. Which is a miraculous thing after all your body has been through."
Lori's POV"Stone the whore! She defiled the Alpha's bed!"Someone from the crowd roared in anger, and everyone else follows until over a hundred thousand werewolves were changing it. I was still on my knees, clutching my chest in pain from the searing pain of Silas' rejection when the first rock h
