FAZER LOGINSeraphina’s POVPatrick placed a thick file on the conference table, his expression unusually grim.“The Head Council has officially confirmed Maxwell’s hearing.”The room fell silent.I reached for the document, scanning the official seal before opening it. Every detail was there.“So,” my father said quietly, “he is finally going to pay for the crimes he committed.”Patrick nodded once.“The Council isn’t giving him any extension, they’ve made it clear that If Maxwell fails to appear, they’ll proceed without him and begin disciplinary action immediately.”Emelda, who had been quietly nibbling on fruit from a nearby plate let out a relieved breath.“Good for him.” She leaned back in her chair. “Maybe this nightmare is finally coming to an end.”“I don’t think so.”Every eye turned towards me. I slowly closed the folder. “This is the beginning.”Patrick frowned. “The evidence against him is overwhelming.”“I know.”“Then why aren’t you relieved?”I turned to Patrick, my voice firm. “Ne
Laura’s povThe last shirt slipped through my aching fingers and landed into the laundry basket with a soft thud.For a few seconds, I simply stood there, staring at it.I let out a slow breath and wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand. My ankle throbbed so badly that even standing felt like punishment.For a moment, I remained where I was, gripping the edge of the wash basin until the wave of pain eased.“You can do this,” I whispered to myself.Maxwell had asked to see me and that thought alone was enough to push me forward. Carefully, I lifted the basket onto the table, straightened my aching back, and limped towards the door.A tear escaped before I could stop it but I wiped it away quickly.“No,” I whispered, forcing a shaky smile at my own reflection in the small window above the sinkEvery step sent a sharp sting shooting through my swollen ankle, but I refused to stop. I remembered Maxwell had asked to see me, maybe he had finally realized what had been hap
Laura’s POVI woke up to someone kicking my bed hard enough to send a spike of pain through my swollen ankle. “Up,” Vanessa said. She was standing over me with her arms crossed, already dressed in leggings and a smug smile. “Kitchen now! And the floors wouldn’t mop themselves.”I blinked, disoriented, my ankle still swollen badly and I wasn’t able to sleep well last night because of the pain. “What time is it?” I croaked. My throat was bad from crying. “Time for you to make breakfast,” Maxwell’s mother said from the doorway. She had a cup of coffee in her hand with a stream curled up, “Unless you want to skip eating again today.”I pushed myself up on my elbows, wincing. “I can’t… my ankle, it’s—”“It’s an ankle,” Maxwell’s mother cut in, sipping her coffee. “Tricia sprained her wrist once while cleaning the house but she didn’t stop. She just wrapped it and kept going. You want to be Luna? Start acting like it.”The name Tricia hit me like a slap. “I’m not Tricia,” I said, throwi
Maxwell’s povThe office fell silent the moment the door clicked shut behind my Beta.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling without really seeing it. The official summons from the Head Council lay crumpled on my desk, a reminder that my problems were multiplying faster than I could solve them.Investors were abandoning Silvermont and now the Pack Alliance had turned against me.The court wanted my head.And Seraphina…Every time I thought I’d cornered her, she came back stronger.I slammed my fist against the desk in frustration.“Damn it!”The sound echoed through the office before fading into silence.For several long moments, I simply sat there, my mind racing through every possible move. Threats hadn’t worked. Begging had only made me look pathetic and public attacks had backfired spectacularly.For the first time in years, I had no idea what my next move should be.Just then a name surfaced in my mind.Adams Mercer.I slowly lifted my head. He had built empires long be
Maxwell’s POVThe gates of the Silvermont Pack headquarters swung open as my SUV rolled into the compound. The guards and the staff rushed to welcome me home. I climbed out of the vehicle without acknowledging anyone and headed straight inside.The secretary was already waiting outside my office.“Alpha…” She bowed nervously. “Welcome back.”I barely glanced at her. “Anything urgent?”She hesitated.“There… there was a delivery from the Head Council.” Her voice cracked. That made me stop. “The Head Council?”“Yes, Alpha.”She handed me a thick cream-colored envelope sealed with the Alliance crest.The moment I saw the seal, my jaw tightened.I dismissed her with a flick of my hand.“I’ll handle it.”She hurried away as though relieved to escape. I stepped into my office and shut the door behind me.For a long moment, I simply stared at the envelope then after sometime I broke the seal.The letter inside was an Official Summons.I had been ordered to appear before the Pack Court on a
Laura’s povI lunged at Venessa, “Give it back!” I snarled. “I need to call Maxwell.”Vanessa stopped without looking back. “I told you he’s unavailable.”I stepped forward and tried to slip past her but she caught my wrist very firmly enough to cause bruises and stopped me.“Laura, I'm not joking.”“Neither am I.”I pulled my hand free with a sharp jerk. “ Let go!” I have every right to call my husband.”“And you will only do that when you’re done with all the chores in this house.” Vanessa replied calmly.My patience snapped.“I am done talking.”I lunged forward without thinking. My fingers brushed the edge of the phone. Vanessa laughed and yanked it higher. “Oh, you want this so badly? Come and get it then, Luna.”I launched myself at her again and this time we collided at the top of the staircase,“Get off me!” she shrieked, twisting and trying to knee me in the stomach and something in me snapped and I pushed her with force.The phone slipped between our hands. I twisted instantl
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVI stared at him, waiting for him to laugh or to say it was a joke but Caspian didn’t instead he sat beside me waiting for my reply. “Are you insane?” The words ripped out of me, sharp and loud in the quiet hospital room.“Marriage? You want to marry me?,”“Yes,” he said si

Tricia's POV"Tricia, what have you done!" Maxwell exploded, his voice shaking with rage."How dare you! So this has been your plan all along, huh? You're jealous because you can't carry a pup so you decide to kill another she-wolf's child!”"No, no," I shook my head rapidly, tears already blurring
Tricia's POVMaxwell didn't even wait for silence to settle before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick roll of bills and threw them on the floor."Pick that up," he said coldly.
