I straighten immediately. “Where is his mother?”

“The last I heard… she was dying of wolfsbane poisoning. It caused a degenerative condition.”

She shakes her head, “She shouldn’t be strong enough to pull off something like this.”

“But even if she was, wouldn’t she be working together with her son?”

Her lips press together, “True,” she replies. “She would definitely need her son's help to carry out such a hit.”

“So, if it's not her, then who?” I mutter.

My Mom starts pacing. She stops again and

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   276. I will not lose her

    I couldn’t sleep a wink all through the night.After dropping Jess off, Leo drove us back home. Since I wasn’t willing to spend the night alone at my private residence, I had him take us to the Packhouse.And once I retired to my room, I couldn’t sleep a wink.At some point, I thought of paying a visit to “The Skull” and spending the night there with my men.As early as five in the morning, I leave my room and head straight to my home office to find something to occupy my time and take my mind off the heavy task I need to carry out: breaking up with Jess.The attack on us yesterday is one I’m yet to find out where it came from, and it's all my fault, because none of our attackers survived.My men later went through the scene, and they found all of them dead. If I didn’t have Jess in the car with me, I would have devised better means to capture them.But I was more focused on ending their lives and keeping My Love safe.Maybe, just maybe, being away from her will finally help me focus

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   275. Last Night Together

    ~Allister~I leave Jess with Agnes and Ursula and step away to meet with the guys.At the sound of her laughter, I let out a sad smile because deep down, I already know this is the last night I will be with her like this.Tomorrow is going to be a bad day for me because tomorrow is the day I’ll let my baby go.“Well, look who finally shows up,” Victor whistles.Simon snorts into his drink. “Happy to see you, Alpha.”Julian, however, remains mute, but his gaze is on me as if he’s studying me.As I approach, they adjust their seating position, making space for me.Seated, Victor smiles, “Alpha Allister, why do you look like that?”I shake my head, “Like what?”“Like someone stole your most-prized possession or something.”“I look fine, Victor.”“Not to me,” he says. “You look sad.”Simon nods in agreement. “Actually… yeah. You do.”I scoff. “It's all in your head, Victor.”Victor points his drink at me. “You’re usually glowing around Jess. It can be annoying sometimes, but yeah, you glo

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   274. Back

    “Simon, if I die decorating this place, tell everyone I died beautiful,” I announce as I stretch up on my toes, trying to pin the last silver ribbon to the wall without falling over.“You currently look like a stressed raccoon with glitter in her hair,” Simon replies lazily from a couch across the room.I throw a ribbon at him, and he catches it without even looking up from his phone.Annoying.Having him and the others in the room makes it easier not to feel awkward being in the same room with Julian.Julian is seated just beside Simon, and Victor is grabbing a tablecloth from the pile of stuff I put aside earlier.After our encounter at the restaurant earlier, I just had to prepare my mind for this evening since we all have to be here when Jess arrives with Alpha Allister.The room smells like fresh flowers, frosting, and candles. We’ve practically turned the small private lounge into a mini celebration den.Fairy lights hang around the walls, soft gold against deep cream curtains,

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   273. I cant be the woman you cheat on her with

    We are actually lucky that the weekend won’t fully kick off until Saturday, so the cafe isn’t exactly crowded.“Fuck, I don't know. I just saw them and reacted. I didn't stop to think what I was doing. Just the thought of Richard touching you like...” His fists clench, and his voice trails off as he tries to regain his composure.He looks angrier by the second. Angry at himself for losing control, and maybe angry at me, too, for having this strange hold on him.“Look, I'm not saying I agree with you, but I understand what you did to a point.”His eyes snap to mine in shock. “Really?”“I would be lying if I said I haven't had similar possessive feelings,” I admit reluctantly.For a second, he just stares at me like he can’t believe what he’s hearing.“But that doesn't change the fact that you lied to my face,” I continue. “I might think you're an arrogant asshole most of the time, but you've always been someone I trusted to be honest with me.”He actually flinches at my words.“I’m sor

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   272. We can't be together

    “We can’t be together,” I reply weakly, my body instinctively leaning into him, my head tilting slightly to give him easier access.“I shouldn’t have said what we had that night was a mistake,” he insists softly as he moves my ponytail over my shoulder.My breaths come out deep and uneven, every nerve in my body responding to him like I’ve completely lost control.‘Why can’t I leave?’ I ask myself desperately.“Aggy, turn around.”Julian’s words are simple, but they throw my entire mind into chaos.It would be one thing if he forced me against the wall or grabbed me without giving me a choice. But this? This is different.The choice is mine now. If I turn around, then it means I’m allowing this to happen.Biting down hard on my lip, I try to force myself to turn the door handle. Instead, my fingers twitch around it before my hand falls uselessly to my side in defeat.Slowly, I turn to face him.The moment my eyes meet his, my stomach tightens painfully.Lust burns openly in his gaze,

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   271. I want only you

    My jaw clenches instantly.I turn away and toss my napkin on the table.I have to get out of here.Even if it’s just for a few minutes.Placing my iPad carefully inside my tote bag, I take out my purse, slide my phone inside, keep my bag on the chair, and hurry away, making my way past his table while avoiding his eyes completely.I’ve just turned the corner and spotted the safety of the ladies’ room door when a strong hand wraps around my forearm.“Wait.”Just the sound of his voice sends a jolt through me.‘Okay, Aggy, you can do this. Just turn around and tell him to fuck off. He’s an asshole who does nothing but cheat on his very kind and pretty fiancée and has now shown up at one of your favorite restaurants with some random chick.’Straightening my shoulders, I turn to face him.Unfortunately, the man looks even better up close.I don’t think I’ve ever seen him looking anything other than perfectly groomed. But he obviously hasn’t shaved in a while, and instead of making him loo

With her presence, my mother, the current Luna of the Pack, becomes less chatty.Steam curls from the tea she pours with unhurried grace as silverware clanks in the large hall.
