The street light turns green, but Allister doesn’t move the car right away.

“You don’t have to lean on me every time,” he says gently. “Just… don’t lock me out of your life.”

His thumb brushes over my knuckles, slowly.

“You have me. You’ve always had me.” He hums reassuringly.

His words are simple but filled with an intensity that makes my chest tighten. Yet I can't bring myself to respond.

Agnes’s earlier revelations about Rhea Luther have planted a seed of doubt I can’t ignore. Rhea probably

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   313. Saved

    ~Jess~I have no idea how long I've been here.Days, maybe weeks.Time no longer means anything inside this place.There are no windows, sunlight, or moonlight. Just stone walls, damp air, and darkness that seems to stretch forever.The only way I know time is passing is because someone brings me food once every day.At least, I think it's every day. I can't be sure anymore since I've stopped trying to count.I sit against the cold wall and pull my knees to my chest.Every part of my body aches, but my heart aches the most, especially when I remember Sebastian. The thought of him alone makes tears sting my eyes.I still can't believe that the person I trusted, the person who stood beside me all these years, the one who promised to always protect me, is behind this.Every time I think about it, it feels like someone is ripping my chest open.Slowly, I force myself to stand.My legs tremble slightly as I turn to the guard at my cell entrance. He’s standing there, rigid, like a statue."

    “I need you to let Jess go,” I tell Doctor Philip, pretending to believe this picture must be recent.“What…we-we-we don’t have her. She was released to you. This-this…fuck!” he curses.“Alpha, listen, this isn’t what it seems like. It’s a long story. If you let me explain, you will understand-”“Go ahead,” I interrupted him. “I’ve got all day.”He goes on to share what happened between him, his brother, and Jess, and the fact that Jess had promised to help them through me, as my Luna.Knowing that the love of my life kept their identity hidden from me because of their own safety made my heart swell with pride.I knew she wouldn’t do the things Angel thought she did.But that brings me to a question: who then is trying to frame her? Who desperately wants her to go down?How did the picture on this table get out? Who took it and why?It's as if my thoughts and those of Philip are going in the same direction because our attention goes back to the photograph at once, and he lets out swea

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   311. Meeting

    This coffee shop is one of the few hidden gems we have in Silver Valley. I remember discovering the place years ago when they recently opened their doors to the public.Since then, I’ve had Leo order my coffee here mostly because of their use of traditional ingredients.Choosing here to meet with the Varkai prince was a great idea, and sitting here, disguised with glasses and a face cap while sipping moringa tea seems relaxing enough, especially with all the chaos going on in my life.The seat beside me gets rattled, and a fellow face cap and sunglasses lover, sits right beside me.I bring down my mug just a bit and take a slow view of my sitting partner.“Can I help you?” I ask, in a very calm voice.He slowly pulls away his glasses and drags his face cap up a bit to show his face before putting them back in place.Well, isn’t that shocking?The very man my fiancée introduced to me as her friend, the very man who saved my life when I battled a gunshot wound from a heavily coated silv

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   310. Alpha's command

    "But there is-” before he can finish speaking, Leo storms inside.His usually calm appearance is gone. His face is pale, and he looks terrified and very worried.Immediately, my instincts go on alert. "What happened?" I ask him.He looks from me to Angel. "It's Jess, Alpha," he replies."What about Miss Jess?" worry clouds me so much that I’m even surprised my voice came out steady.Leo swallows. "I just received information regarding Sarah White. She was out on a vacation with Miss Jess. She was found on the floor, shot and bleeding out."My wolf immediately stirs, almost to the surface, his protective instincts surging forward at the mention of Jess, probably in real danger."She's currently being treated at Greymark Medical Center." Leo continues. “But the big issue is that Miss Jess is nowhere to be found. We believe she has either been abducted..." he lowers his voice, "Or killed."Everything inside me stops. For one horrifying second, nothing exists.There is just rage, fear, an

    Angel’s voice is calm when he says, "All of this means that Miss White just needed the surrogate lawyer released because the lawyer is a priority for whoever she's working with. And I believe she’s working with the Varkai princes."My gaze drops to the photographs with one of the princes again. I need to have that meeting as soon as possible.Though there is a high chance that the meeting with the prince would be a sort of setup to harm me, I need to be present.If they took Jess again, then I need to find a way to reach out to her and have her speak to me…explain to me what exactly is going on because I don’t believe anything Angel is saying, yet."Think about it, Alpha.” Angel continues speaking. “She refused to tell you who kidnapped her," he says. "Doesn't that make sense now?"I frown as I slowly begin to recall something Beshar Gabret told me during my last visit to his Park. He said one of the Varkai princes is a highly skilled doctor.Jess is a doctor as well. Is any of that a

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   308. Jess is fake

    ~Allister~Ending the call with Beshar Gabret, I lean back in my chair, my mind occupied with the fact that he’s managed to secure a meeting with one of the princes and me.I rub a hand across my face and sigh.The past few weeks have been nothing but chaos. Having my men search and comb almost the ends of the earth for Jefferson hasn’t been easy, and being on Beshar’s neck for a meeting with at least one of the princes as well has been crazy.A knock sounds on my office door, and Angel pushes it open.Seeing him still limping, I immediately frown."What are you doing out here, again?" I ask him.He limps closer and drops a thick brown envelope onto my desk. “You need to see this, Alpha,” he tells me.I look at the envelope, then at him, "What’s in it?"Angel pushes his frame into one of the empty seats.“Alpha,” he calls. “It seems Jessica White has been playing all of us. And, I have proof."I eye him cautiously and slowly drag the brown envelope closer. "What?"I open the envelope
