تسجيل الدخولRHONDAThankfully, the security at the pack’s gate didn’t attempt to stop me. They didn’t know I was running away, though.I drove at high speed, and once I was far away from the pack, I pulled over, got out of the car, and carried Leo with me. We needed to change cars, or else they would be able to track us with that particular car.“Mommy, where are we going? What’s happening?” Leo asked, his voice filled with worry.“We are going to a friend’s place, darling. We will spend some time there before returning to Grandpa and Grandma,” I told him, trying to sound as calm as possible.“Where is that?” he asked curiously.“It’s a beach house. You will love it,” I muttered as I hailed a taxi.After it stopped, we hopped in, and I asked the driver to take us to a particular restaurant. When we got there, we walked a little distance before taking another taxi. I didn’t want Malcolm tracing us successfully.I showed the taxi driver the address Amos had sent to me.We would have to take a ferry
RHONDAMy chest tightened painfully.My lungs felt compressed, and I could barely breathe. I shook my head in denial, hoping this was not real. Hoping Malcolm had not really slept with his cousin. Hoping there was some explanation that would make everything disappear.But no matter how much I tried to deny it, the video was real.It was not AI-generated.Although it had happened before we rekindled our love, the fact still remained that he had hidden such information from me. And omission was lying. Keeping something like that from me was lying. I felt utterly betrayed, and I knew I could never see him the same way again.Just then, my phone rang, and his name flashed across the screen.Malcolm.My heart clenched painfully at the sight of his name. For a second, I just stared at the screen, unable to move, unable to breathe properly. Then anger rushed through me like fire.I furiously rejected the call, switched off my phone, and slammed it on the desk.A satisfied smirk curled on Emm
RHONDASebastian Virelli.So, it had been him all along.He was the one who had blackmailed me. He was the one who had released the video. And now, he was attempting to kill me together with Layla.Ninety-nine days, they said, were for the thief, and one day was for the owner.“I need to file a report. I’ll do that after I leave work. Please send the video evidence,” I told Malcolm.I had always said this, and I meant it every single time. I could not have prayed for a better partner. Malcolm was the best. Even in the middle of all the chaos surrounding me, he still found a way to make me feel protected. He did not make me feel like a burden. He did not make me feel like my problems were too much. Instead, he stood beside me as if my battles were his too.“I’ll pick you up, then we’ll go together. Just let me know when you are almost ready, and I’ll drive down there.”“You don’t have to bother. I’ll…”“I insist,” he cut me off.I knew I could never win such an argument with Malcolm. O
RHONDAMalcolm strode toward me with precise steps and swept me into his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist and looped my arms around his neck to support myself as giggles erupted from me.“I love you,” he groaned as he walked toward the bathroom, his lips connecting with mine.“I love you,” I moaned in response as our lips moved hungrily against each other.By the time we got to the bathroom, my heart was already racing. He placed me gently on my feet, then slowly removed my dress and flung it across the bathroom. He unclasped my bra effortlessly, and while he did that, I slipped my panties off.Turning the shower on, he let the water pour over us. The coldness rushed over my skin, cooling my body in a way I had not realized I needed. I closed my eyes for a second, letting the sensation settle over me, but before I could fully get over the sweetness the water brought, Malcolm grabbed my throat and pushed me against the wall.I gasped loudly, my lust-filled eyes boring into his.
RHONDAHe was bothered by something. I knew exactly what it was and why he refused to tell me. He didn’t want to hurt me.While he had been outside earlier with the warriors, his mother came to see me.At first, I thought she had simply come to check on me, but the tension written across her face immediately told me otherwise. She sat quietly beside me on the bed for a while before finally speaking.“The council called for a meeting,” she had said softly.I frowned. “A meeting? About what?”“They are not happy about Malcolm’s absence from the pack lately,” she muttered. “And…”“And?” I urged impatiently.Her expression tightened slightly before she finally continued.“They think the scandal surrounding you makes you unfit to become Luna.”Even now, remembering those words made my chest tighten painfully. I knew the tape had caused damage, but hearing that the entire council believed I was unworthy because of it hurt far more than I wanted to admit.Malcolm probably didn’t want to tell
MALCOLMAfter making sure Rhonda was settled in the pack house, I left to address the pack warriors. They had already assembled in front of the pack house by the time I arrived.“Good day, Alpha,” their voices chorused in unison.I ignored their greeting and began pacing slowly in front of them, my hands clasped behind my back. “Which of you released the prisoner?” I growled. “She couldn’t have escaped on her own. One of you must have been hired—possibly given a lot of money—to release her.”Silence.“I am not talking to dummies,” I snapped, stopping abruptly to glare at them. “I need answers. Talk!”They all stiffened immediately, fear evident in their expressions. I was rarely angry, and this was one of those very rare occasions. They all knew what happened whenever I lost my temper. I was merciless.“No one saw her escaping,” one of them finally managed to say.“Are you trying to tell me that she disappeared into thin air?” I growled.“No, Alpha. I…”“One of you must have released
RHONDAMy feet hurt from wearing heels all day, so I slipped them off the moment I entered the car. When we arrived at the manor, Victor held the door open for me to get down. The bodyguards had stayed at the SkyTech Tower lobby all day, waiting for me, and followed me home when I was done.“What t

RHONDADressed in a wine dress, I hooked my arm around Malcolm’s as we walked through the red carpet while the security tried to keep the paparazzi away. Malcolm looked divine in his all-black suit set. He was the most handsome man alive, and I couldn’t be more proud that he was mine.We arrived la
RHONDAUpon learning that Leo was mine, the excitement that tore through me was over the roof. All this while, I had been heartbroken, searching for my biological son, not knowing that he had always been the one. I loved him with everything within me, and I couldn’t wait to hold him in my arms agai
