Janie Crane

The news reached me through my personal maid that Lori was in a coma. The twins had survived. And Silas....my Silas... had lost his Alpha title and was preparing to fight for it in the traditional trials.

"How terribly unfortunate," I said, setting down my teacup, and a small smile spread across my face. "For her, I mean."

The maid, a mousy little thing named Elara who had been with me since before the miscarriage, nodded eagerly. "It's all over the pack, Luna. They're saying she mi

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach    Chapter 60– Bargaining with the devil

    Dante DominicI caught up with Renée before she could enter the guest wing, grabbing her by the arm."What the hell is going on out there? And how dare you threaten me in my home? Is it because I let you stay?"She snatched her arms from my hand as if my tough burned, but I didn't care either way. "Well, if you weren't busy with Lori, you would have noticed that I stepped out of the house earlier this evening for an emergency at home.""An emergency?" I raised my brow in confusion, where was this conversation heading because why did she have to bring this up?"Yes. An emergency that turned out to be your father in my home." Her eyes were cold. "Coming over to make our marriage proposal official.""I'm sorry, what?" The throbbing sensation at the back of my head was back, because what the fuck did my father think he was doing? A marriage proposal behind my back?"Oh, you didn't know?" She humphed before folding her arms across her chest with her brows drawn together in a deep frown. "I

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach    Chapter 59– The Truth Comes Out

    RenéeGetting back to Dante's house that same evening was the worst thing I could have thought of, because once my car was in the driveway, I could already see Eleanor and her daughters pressed to the glass door of the house... As if they were waiting for something.And my hunch was right after all."That's why you came back, wasn't it?" Eleanor was the first person to speak when I stepped into the house that was filled with so much tension. "That was why you pretended to come in here. Pretend to act like you really cared about Lori and her children, yeah? This was your plan all along, right?"I pulled my brows together in a frown and shook my head in confusion. "Eleanor... What's going on? You're not making any sense... Did something happen? Is Lori okay? Are the children okay? You're scaring me...""Oh, please... Drop the act already." Vivian rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. "This has always been your dream, isn't it? To crawl back into Dante's life even when he

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach    Chapter 58– The Bargain

    RenéeI 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

    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

    Lori's POV"I'm pregnant, Lori." Janie's voice was barely above a whisper, and I spun around in shock, my heart already swelling with joy for my best friend."Janie! Oh my goddess!" I rushed across the VIP suite and threw my arms around her, squeezing tight. "That's incredible! I'm so happy for you

    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
