I break into a run. My shoes slam against the pavement as I close the distance.

The suited bastard is about to shut the door when I grab it and shove it open.

“Move,” I growl at him, wincing at the sharp pain shooting through my body.

The man turns to me, seemingly pissed. He steps forward like he’s about to give me a beating worse than what Allister Blackwaters gave me.

But before he can swing a punch my way, Jess stops him.

“Leo, please,” she cuts in quickly. “It’s okay. It’s fine. Could you

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   212. Jefferson's Reject

    “I’m already on it,” Marcus assures me. “But there’s something else you should know.”“Okay?”“Jefferson Hoard seems to be running a partnership project with the Ceaser group. Also, his current abode is like a fortress. We can't attack him there without starting a war with Frostland because he is living in their Packland. To avoid a war, we might need to collaborate with the Frostland Alphas to capture Jefferson.”My lips curl in a cold smile as I run through the possible scenarios that will play out if I decide to consult Besha Gabret.“I’d rather we exhaust every other means of getting at him before seeking help from Frostland,” I tell Marcus. “Frostland should be our last resort.”“Yes, Alpha.”“His collaboration with the Caesar group...” I begin. “If we attack that, how will it look?”“He invested heavily in it. So, it will shake him financially and maybe eventually cripple his finances if we can completely sever his relationship with the Ceaser group.”“Then that’s where we hit h

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   211. Lucrous Zelph

    My man picked me up for dinner straight from work. We went to an upscale restaurant in Tozan, another city close to Ashmere. Despite the romantic setting, soft lighting, elegant table settings, and the gentle notes of a piano in the background, I couldn’t focus on the meal before me.“You’ve barely touched your food,” Allister observes, his eyes studying me with concern. “What’s troubling you, Bloom?”I set down my fork with a sigh. “I’m sorry. I’m not very good company tonight.”“You’ll always be my best company. Now tell me what’s wrong,” he urges, reaching across the table to take my hand.The warmth of his touch is comforting, and I find myself telling him everything that happened with Pelton Oxad today and Gracie’s fears and sadness.“She’ll go into labor anytime soon, and we don’t even know who the parents of the child she's carrying are,” I explain, my voice tight with emotion.Allister listens intently, his expression growing more serious with each detail.His fingers tighten

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   210. Pelton makes a threat

    ~Jess~The past week had been a whirlwind of activity. Between series of surgeries, volunteering a few times at the A&E, keeping up with Gracie’s case and Lawyer Calista, and being the best version of myself for the love of my life, life has been “lifeing” or how do they say it.Gracie is getting closer to her EDD, and with the unavailability of the intended parents, I really do not know what to expect at this point.She is worried. The last time I spoke with her, she was sobbing and telling me she’s so scared.I spoke to her at length and promised her that even if we fail to find the intending parents, I will make sure she goes back to school and lives her life to the fullest.And I mean every single word of it.My eyes burn from lack of sleep as I review a couple of medical reports before me. I’ve barely had time to breathe, and it's so crazy.I call Stephanie, asking her to purchase warm clothes, thick blankets, and heating pads for Gracie.The recent weather calls for concern. And

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   209. Bugged

    I step into the elevator, my gaze cold. “Henceforth, no one approaches Jess without clearance. Her friends should be put on close watch, too.” I tell Leo.I can endure anything but lose my mate. Losing Jess will definitely drive me into the abyss.Within hours, my team uncovered the truth. One of the men under Marcus Drac, Angel’s second in command, is a mole who got paid by Dominic Hearst to supply him with information from the inside.It's not like he can do much because he is a lower-level guard who is rarely allowed to witness or take part in the main activities that go on around me and in the dungeon.At his level, he simply receives orders and carries them out without explicit explanations.And as for why Dominic knows Bella Harnarn, well, the girl didn’t lie when she said she was from Westwood Pack.Also, tracking down people’s identities should be something within that Alpha’s scope of capabilities, at least.So, again, Dominic Hearst isn’t who and what I so desperately want h

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   208. Allister is no saint

    I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and smile. There is something I need to tell Allister. If I don’t tell him now, I'll forget, and that will mean keeping a secret from him.“Alli, there’s something you need to know,” I say, my fingers fidgeting with the hem of my shirt. He raises his brow in silent question. “About Dominic’s visit last night,” I tell him.His attention sharpens, his body tensing slightly beside me. “Did he say something to you?” I swallow hard, hating that I’m about to repeat the accusations. “He claimed you were with some lady last night. He actually showed me a video of you and the lady, whom he called Bella Harnarn.”Allister’s expression darkens, a flash of anger crossing his face before he controls it.“He tried to make me believe this woman is your lover,” I continue, my voice trembling slightly. “He said you were with her before me. And that she’s been mentally down since I came into the picture. That you ditched her for me. For a moment, I was scared. Bu

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   207. Forever mine

    “Yes,” Allister replies. “We found out that Rhea’s mother may have survived the attack on their Pack. It seems she’s alive. But we don’t know where she is. Also, I have my men watch over Rhea, and they found out that she is having secret meetings with the boy from our childhood, Jefferson Hoard.” My eyes widen. That’s quite some information dump.“That’s not all,” he continues. “My men got a hold of an audio that has Rhea and Jefferson saying they want us dead. And, a couple of weeks ago, we found some men trying to break into the Pack border. While interrogating them, we found out that they are linked to Jefferson. With the audio we got our hands on, Jefferson and Rhea are now enemies of this Pack until proven otherwise.”The blunt honesty of his response surprises me. Yet, when I look at him, I feel like there's more he doesn’t want to tell me.I’m grateful for his transparency. If it were to be Dominic, he would have deflected, changed the subject, or fed me a carefully crafted li

    A beautiful sunny day at “Sugar Treats” with my best girls has me smiling nonstop.“Well, at least now they know not to mess with us, else I ruin their skull with a bottle of expensive wine,” Agnes’s voice towers above Ursula’s.“Oh, please, you were literally shaking like baby fish,” Ursula jabs a

    “Leave her the fuck alone,” Agnes snaps. “The boys were masked for the goddess’s sake. And, like I already told you when I gave my statement, Ursula and I had just gotten inside the car when these boys appeared from nowhere with a damn cleaver. People started running helter-skelter. Ursula and I ha

    Once I step into my room, the feeling of nostalgia hits me.Olga places my bags in the wardrobe and tries to speak to me about what transpired downstairs with Sarah, but I shut her down.“I don’t want to hear it, Olga.”She nods and finally shuts the door behind her.
