Harriet’s POV

The sudden appearance of Aurora shattered the fragile moment I had been trying to hold together. Her face was a storm—eyes blazing, lips pressed into a tense line. The air grew colder, suffocating, as if her anger had seeped into every corner of the room.

Her voice was icy, cutting through the silence. “Damon, what’s going on here?” She stepped closer, suspicion and something darker flickering in her gaze.

Damon straightened, his jaw tightening as he turned to face her. “Aurora, I was just—”

She cut him off sharply, voice rising slightly. “Just what? Entertaining old flames? After everything?”

My stomach clenched painfully. I could feel my fists tightening, but I kept my expression as neutral as I could, trying to hold onto the resolve I’d gathered. I knew Aurora’s reputation—her fierce protectiveness, her jealousy. I understood her as a rival, a threat, even if my heart was pounding painfully in my chest.

Damon finally spoke, voice calm but with an undercurrent of tens

    Harriet’s POV I stood at the edge of the place I had fled when my lover had denied me, I remembered his words that we would never be together. The tears that I had cried because of him. He had made me feel worthless and unwanted and weak. I was just an omega in his eyes. But then, I’d met Gino. He was everything that Damon wasn’t. Yet, Damon had followed me to France and believed we were mates? I couldn’t think of anything worse than being with someone who hadn’t seen my worth from the start. All I was to him was someone to have sex with. He had chosen Aurora after all, she was a better fit for him. Leaving this pack had been the right thing to do, I thought I’d be happy with Gino. A fresh start away from my old life and yet there it was, seeping its way back into my new life like a snake. I had to face Damon head on and tell him straight that we were over, he had made his decision and it was Gino I wanted to be with. Suddenly Sandra came rushing towards me with the b

    Harriet’s POV I didn't trust Aurora. Not one bit. She hated me, and now she had even more reason to try and destroy my life. I couldn't let that happen. I had to face Damon and end all of this once and for all. Gino was the one I wanted to be with, nobody else. What had started as a contract was now very much real for me! There was no way I would let Aurora come along and get in the way of anything. I would wait and bide my time, but she wasn't going to get away with anything. I was going to make her sorry for ever messing with me. “Gino, let's go home,” I told him as I slipped my hand into his and smiled up at him. I decided that once he was asleep, I would sneak out and go back to the packhouse. Damon needed to know that I was off-limits. I would never be his little sidepiece again; he deserved nothing from me. “Sure, honey.” He half smiled back, and I could already see that he was stressed out from all this. I squeezed his hand and assured him that we would be okay.

    The words hung in the air between us, sharp and heavy. I watched as surprise flickered across Harriet’s face, briefly extinguishing the fire of her anger. “What?” she breathed, her eyes wide with confusion. “Your what?” “Step-sister,” I repeated, forcing myself to stay calm, though my insides were twisting with anxiety. “Our parents married when I was young. We grew up together, but it was a complicated relationship. After I left the pack, I thought I’d never have to deal with that side of my life again.” As I spoke, I could see pieces clicking into place in her mind. “So, she’s family, but… that doesn’t explain why she’s a threat to us.” “Our relationship has always been strained. When I left after our parents death, Aurora took it personally. She felt abandoned, and now she wants to force me back into the fold—into a life I refuse to be part of.” Harriet’s expression shifted, the fiery anger ebbing but not entirely gone. “So she feels betrayed by you, then? That doesn’t e

    Gino’s POV My phone buzzed against my thigh, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts. It was a message from Harriet, a simple question that carried the weight of our unspoken bond. “Harriet:Hey, everything okay? You were gone longer than expected. Whats going on?” I stared at the screen, recalling the way she looked at me—full of trust, love, and a slight hint of worry. My resolve crumbled. The irony of the situation nearly choked me. I had wanted to protect her; I had built walls around us to keep her safe, and now they felt like prison bars. She deserved honesty, the kind that grew in the light rather than thrived in shadow. Aurora should have stayed away, she should never have come to find me or Harriet. If this so called mate of Harriet’s thought that he was going to take her from me then he could think again. I took a deep breath and typed back, my fingers trembling as I struggled to find the right words. “Gino: I need to talk to you about something important. Wait

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   Forty six

    Gino’s POV The revelation hit me like a punch to the gut. I staggered back, instinctively trying to process the weight of her words. Harriet—my sweet, unwavering Harriet—was tied to a world I had fought tirelessly to escape. My mind raced as I pieced together this unexpected twist, my resolve hardening into something akin to iron. “No,” I whispered, almost as if saying it aloud could negate the implications of what Aurora had just disclosed. “You’re lying.” The defiance in her eyes morphed into something darker, something that felt almost triumphant. “Am I? You think I’d come here without intel? You may have forgotten the intricacies of pack politics, but I haven’t. I know every whisper, every secret. And I know what Alpha Damon wants. Harriet is a prize, Gino—a beacon of hope for someone who wishes to restore what’s been broken. Your ‘perfect little world’ is clashing against the realities of a power struggle you’ve completely ignored.” My heart pounded in my ch

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   Forty five

    Gino’s POV When I stepped into that small, dimly lit room, I had to steel myself against a flood of memories that rushed back with a vengeance. Aurora. The very name sent a cascade of anger and regret through me. I had thought I had left that life behind and erased the past with a stroke of ambition and the determination to carve out something new. But looking at her now, defiant and stubborn on that sagging mattress, I felt the weight of our shared history settle heavily on my shoulders. Aurora had been part of my old pack, back when I was just another wolf trying to find his place in a world that didn’t care about the complexities of loyalty or betrayal. We had once been close, bound by blood, shared difficulties, and the unfiltered anguish of being part of something bigger than ourselves. It had been years since I walked away, trading in fangs and claws for business suits and boardroom tables, but there was still a flicker of that bond lingering in the recesses of my mind. An

    Aurora’s POVI came to with a pounding headache, dark shapes surrounding me like shadows. The air was thick and musty, smelling of stale cigarettes and something sweet that made my stomach churn. As I blinked against the dimness, the jarring recollection of the last moments before my blackout hit me with the force of a freight train. Gino had been there, towering over me, eyes narrowed like angry coals. I had underestimated him, and that mistake had cost me more than I could bear.Panic began to swell in my chest as I pushed myself up, groaning at the ache radiating through my skull. I was in a small, sparsely furnished room, the low light straining to break through the filthy window. “What the hell?” I muttered, shaking off the remnants of disorientation. My instincts kicked in, hyper-alert, adrenaline coursing through me as I assessed my surroundings.I was trapped.Rubbing my temples, I sat on the edge of what appeared to be an old, sagging mattress, momentarily flustered by the re

  • Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO   Forty three

    Aurora’s POV The remnants of my conversation with Damon clung to the air like smoke that refused to dissipate. I paced the confines of my room, the walls feeling like they were closing in on me. How dare he think he could rekindle something with Harriet after everything that had happened? I had given him the world, and yet, he still pined for a woman he had already cast aside. It was infuriating. I had left him simmering in his own regrets after our last confrontation, and part of me reveled in his pain. Yet, the other part—the part that craved dominance and control—could not shake the feeling of annoyance that gnawed at me. It was one thing to hurt him, to see him broken and desperate, but the thought of Harriet standing in his way? That sent a surge of envy through me like molten steel. “What could she possibly have that I don’t?” I muttered, my reflection glaring back at me in the mirror. I was everything he ever desired—charming, beautiful, cunning. And yet, he chose to lame
