last update Last Updated: 2025-06-05 22:09:53

As I entered the morgue, my leg shook so bad I could barely control it. Aiden's holding the door open for me, but I can't look at his face or see what expression he has.

My gaze was only fixed on what was in the room as I kept telling myself that all those can't be real.

It can not be possible. Is that how people just die?

But there it is. A body on the metal table, covered in white cloth. I took hold of myself, taking a deep breath as I summoned that courage within me.

Then I walk closer, each step feeling like I'm walking through quicksand as I am scared of the face under those white clothes. Scared of who I might really see, as that definitely can't be Darrell.

My hands won't stop trembling as I reach for the edge of the sheet.

"Emma, you don't have to…."

"I need to see him. You might be mistaken." My voice doesn't sound like mine.

I pulled the cloth back slowly, but when I saw his face—all the air left my lungs at once.

I moved back immediately, hit the ground hard, my knees slam

    "You guys aren't related by blood, remember? I always found him in your bedroom, and you kept telling me it meant nothing.""Because it really didn't mean anything! Justin is..." That's when it hit me. I'd seen him at that party the other day. So it was really him.Was he stalking me because he felt guilty for ruining my life?Because if they said I eloped with him, that meant he must have disappeared the same day I did.“Oh my God.” I placed my hand on my forehead as I got hit by headache.So much have happened when I left.But why? Why would Justin leave our parents? Why would he write such a letter? Why would he do this to me?No matter how much I think, I just can't think of any reasons why he would do this time.Tears stung my eyes as I thought about what my parents must have been thinking all these years. I thought they'd just be angry that I left without saying goodbye, but all this time... all this years, I'd caused them so much more pain.The shame they must have felt.The d

    "It all started when my brother died," he said quietly, his voice barely audible above the ambient noise. "Suddenly, I had to shoulder this huge responsibility and took on all of my brother's roles, his duties, his position... but not his mate." "Amaya?"He nodded slowly, finally meeting my gaze. "Yes. She was the only thing I refused to take on, despite my parents basically begging me to. Back then, even Amaya's parents told me I could take her as a mistress if I wanted, but I stood my ground. I couldn't marry my brother's woman. It felt... wrong."The waitress refilled our water glasses, and I waited until she left before speaking. "But you did marry her. Maybe you later realized your greedy inner desire.""That's because I got no other options. I thought everyone had forgotten about the idea of me marrying her, and then..." His eyes softened. "Then I met you, and I swear to you everything with you was sincere. But when Lucas started challenging my father's authority," Darrell cont

    *****EMMA'S POV***** I stood inside my room alone, staring out the window into empty space. My arms were folded tightly under my breast as my mind drifted back to when I refused to take Darrell's case. I should be happy right now. I should feel relieved that he finally decided to leave me alone. But why does my chest feel so heavy? Like something's crushing me from the inside? His eyes still haunt me—the way they looked at me when I turned him away. Dark and hurt. I placed my hand on my chest, and I felt my heart beating faster, like I'm scared of something I can't name. Like maybe I was the one who messed up and not him. Did I make a mistake? Fuck! I should've looked at that file before I said anything. I should've listened instead of just... reacting. Whatever. He probably has tons of lawyers dying to take his case. It doesn't have to be me, right? Then my phone rang. It's Alex. I sighed heavily as I looked at his name showing on the screen, and I regretted that all this hap

    But seeing her happy and doing what she wanted makes me happy. From what I have found out about her so far, she’s hardworking, diligent and even made a name for herself, and she's now successful. I’m proud of her, but I won't say it.But where exactly is Justin? Why is he nowhere to be found? Did he abandon her?Then I heard her phone ring, and she picked it up."Hey babe, thank God you're calling. I'm really panicking right now.""Why? Does the man have two heads or something?"I touched my head, trying to see if I really had two heads. But I don't think I do."Maybe if he did, I wouldn't be this nervous. But I haven't even seen him yet.""Hey, you need to calm down. I'm sure he won't be that scary.”"I don't really know, but I know they're usually cold and strict. One order from them, you are dead. All my life I've known three Supreme Alphas: my mother's father, Darrell's father, and Darrell. And let me remind you that all of them are people you don't want to make mistakes in front

    No. This can't be real.My breath caught in my throat, the shot glass slipping from nerveless fingers to crash against the floor.I couldn't look away. My heart was hammering so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest. She was still dancing, but now her eyes were locked on mine, and I felt like she was calling to me without saying a word, like she was pulling me toward her with invisible strings.Then, she stopped dancing. She stepped away from the pole and walked down the stage steps, moving toward me.She was wearing a deep red bra that barely even contained her breasts and a matching thong that left nothing to the imagination for every man that laid eyes on her.I couldn't tear my eyes away from her until she reached my side. Without a word, she threw her arms around my neck, and I felt the world tilt. She lifted one knee, placing it between my thighs as she climbed onto my lap, and I leaned back instinctively against the worn leather of the seat.I could feel my entire
