Lori Steward

Back home, in front of Renee and his family, Dante's hands hadn't left my body all evening, and I hated… no, I was embarrassed that it was getting me all hot the entire time.

At dinner, his hands caressed my thighs while his other arm draped across my shoulders, tracing circles against my sleeve absentmindedly. Or he pretended that he was doing it absentmindedly… His hands on my exposed thigh were hot, and if everyone here were wolves like me, I could swear that they could smell my

    LoriThe hospital room was quiet. Luca was stable now... the transfusion had worked, the poison was being flushed from his system. He was sleeping peacefully in his crib, his tiny chest rising and falling with each breath. Beside him, Ava dozed in her own bassinet, unaware of the chaos that had nearly torn her brother away.Dante was beside me, his hand wrapped around mine. He hadn't left my side since he arrived. And Silas was still here too, hovering in the corner like a ghost who couldn't let go."You remembered him..." Dante said beside me, and mouthed towards Silas. "Are your memories slowly returning?" He smoothed my hair slowly.My memories... How could I forget? I was supposed to be playing as a memory loss victim, and I completely slipped."Um... Yes..." I twisted my hands nervously in my laps, but Dante only chuckled and leaned into my ears to whisper something. "Or the memories have always been intact, which is it?" He smirked, and I felt my heart skip a beat.He knew?I r

    RenéeThe call with my friends had gone better than expected."Yes, the international makeup artist is confirmed," I said, twirling a strand of hair around my finger. "Rochelle himself has confirmed it. He will be flying in next week. And the stylists will be taking your measurements as soon as you're back in the country.""Renée, you absolute queen!" Sheila's voice shrieked through the speaker. "How did you afford all this? Dante must be spoiling you rotten.""Dante is very generous," I said smoothly. "He wants this wedding to be perfect.""What about the other woman? The one who was in a coma? Is she still in the house?""Recovering. But she won't be a problem much longer." I let a hint of steel creep into my voice. "Trust me."We said our goodbyes, and I ended the call. The smile faded from my face the moment the line went dead. Dante hadn't given me a single cent for this wedding, neither had he. Every designer, every stylist, every lavish detail—it was all being paid for by his f

    Dante DominicI had barely dropped the call with Lori's biological mother when my phone range and Lori's pet name flashed on the screen. I quickly swiped my screen and my hands reached out to my keys in case she needed me right this moment."Babe?" I said slowly, and my heart dropped when I heard her sniffing from the other end of the call. "Lori?"She was crying so hard, and I was already out of my seat, abandoning everything at once, even ignoring my father who stopped at the door for whatever reasons he came to find me. My only priority was Lori."Lori... Say something please..." I rushed into the nearest elevator, barking orders for all the staff to step out in case Lori wanted saying something sensitive. Was it Renée again? Did anyone in the house upset her? Had she regained her memories?"Give me that..." I heard a male voice in the background that sounded quite familiar, and when he finally addressed me, I didn't know whether to feel extremely annoyed or thankful that he was th

    Dante DominicMy phone rang beside me when I was on a business call with a client. I was about to swipe the screen and turn it off when I saw the name on the caller ID, and I quickly ended the international call. I didn't care that of this deal went underway, it would mean the company losing a few million dollars."Aunt Helena." I said immediately I took the call, my heart beginning to race slightly as I waited for her sharp voice."Dante? Is that you?" She started slowly, wanting to confirm that it was really me. I didn't blame her though, especially after all the terrible things she and her family were going through in the last couple of years."Yes, Aunt Helena. It's me." I told her quietly. "How do you do? How is your husband?"She sighed heavily on the other end of the call. "He is almost getting better." She paused before she asked the next question that I was preparing for. "I heard strange news some months ago, but I couldn't call to confirm since things got really bad then. B

    RenéeI timed him this time, and when his assistant told me that he was currently on seat in the company, I was already driving there. Driving into the underground parking lot after I mentioned being Dante's fiancée filled me with something I couldn't explain. But it was more of pride, and a strong overwhelming fear that Lori's presence would still ruin everything.But that wasn't why I was here today. I needed to make sure my mother got the emergency surgery before the week was over. I stepped out of the car, taking a deep breath and admiring the company that was soon going to be mine, because whatever belongs to Dante would also be mine as his wife.I used the underground elevator that took me to his office on the top floor, and his secretary smiled tersely before trying to stop me."Miss Renée, welcome. Do you have an appointment with the boss?"I scoffed and shook my head. "I do not need an appointment to see my husband, Camille. I think it's time you got that into your thick skul

    Silas CraneThe council chamber was packed. Every elder, every ranking pack member, every warrior who could fit through the doors had come to witness the judgment. They lined the walls in grim silence, their faces illuminated by the flickering torchlight. At the center of the room, Janie knelt on the cold stone floor.I stood before her, the evidence spread out on the table behind me. Testimonies from the photographer, the bartender. Bank records showing payments. Text messages arranging the setup. Everything."Janie Crane," Elder Marcus intoned, his voice echoing through the chamber. "You stand accused of conspiracy, fraud, and treason against your Alpha and your pack. How do you plead?""Not guilty." Janie's voice was hoarse from crying. "I didn't do any of it. Gracie... Gracie made me. She's the one who planned everything. She's been manipulating me since I was a child."Gracie, standing at the edge of the room with guards flanking her, didn't react. Her expression was filled with

    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."
