LOGINThe FalloutRenéeThis changed everything completely. I paced my room, my silk robe billowing behind me, my mind spinning through every possible implication. Dante had a biological child now. A son. His heir. The one thing his father had been holding over his head... the need for legitimate heirs to carry on the Dominic name was no longer an issue. Luca was legitimate enough, born within Dante's marriage to Lori. And even if Alexander refused to acknowledge him, the pack would know. The world would know.My position as Dante's future wife had just become infinitely more precarious.I stopped pacing and stared at my reflection in the mirror. The woman looking back at me was beautiful, yes. Poised, certainly. But her eyes were wild with panic, and her hands were trembling. I gripped the edge of the vanity and forced myself to breathe."Think," I whispered to myself. "Think. You've come too far to lose now."The door opened without a knock. My spine went rigid with fury... Who dared ent
Lori StewardThe doctor returned with a thick folder in his hands and a grim expression ok his face while I was still processing the details of what Renée just said."Sarah??" I couldn't believe that Sarah was capable of that. My mind darted back to the morning where she served my breakfast late, and her expression told me there was something she wanted to tell me. Like she was contemplating if she could or could not. Was someone threatening her? Was she paid to do this? The only person who was out for me... who had whispered cruel things while I was in coma was Renée that was standing in front of us and crying."Did you pay her?" My voice was cold when I locked eyes with her, ignoring the presence of the doctor. "Was this one of the ways you wanted to get rid of me and my children?" I snarled, getting more pissed when she acted shocked and took a step back, intentionally stumbling into Dante."Babe... What are you talking about?" Dante asked after he reached out to steady her from f
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
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
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.
