CHAPTER 97: STAGING AN EXECUTION

MAXIM:

All through the day, I thought of a way to have Draven wrapped around my fingers without hurting his son. He knew I wouldn't do it unless I was ready to face the wrath of the Alpha King and probably the Moon Goddess herself.

But without hurting his son, Draven wasn't going to bulge even when he has said that the boy wasn't important to him.

The sun has begun to dive down the horizon and the square was dead silent when I arrived, my boots thudding against the ancient stones like the pulse of vengeance itself. I could feel the fear and anxiety in the air. And all my pack members were here to witness the execution first hand.

Perfect.

Draven’s son, Elior, dangled from the blackened iron post in the center of the square. His pale arms were chained above his head, silver shackles biting into his skin. The cursed collar I placed around his neck shimmered faintly with violet veins of magic, the kind that seeped into the marrow and hollowed out the sou

    CHAPTER 136: I WANT VENUS' STOLEN PHONE TRACKED MAXIM:The moment Olivia came back from the clinic, my whole world tilted sideways. I was still trying to process everything, still trying to get my head around this new development. The woman was walking around the packhouse like she already had Luna written on her forehead. She strutted through the halls, chest out, chin high, dishing out orders and demanding endless respect from my pack members.It made my jaw clench every damn time.I stayed away from her as much as I could. My mood wasn’t exactly the best, but Olivia wasn’t stupid. She wanted my attention, badly. Every chance she got, she tried to draw me in, lingering in my office doorway, brushing her hand across my arm at dinner, throwing those sly comments about “our family” and “the baby.”But my mind was on Venus. I wanted her back so badly. It has been days since she ran away and my guards have been searching for her but no luck.Sigh.If I had a choice, I would've thrown Ol

    CHAPTER 134: THIS IS MY LIFE NOW VENUS:I clutched the little piece of paper the manager gave me like it was some sort of lifeline. My palms were sweaty, my legs shaky, but I forced myself to keep moving until I found the office with a sign that read STAFF MANAGER.I knocked lightly on the door, and a deep voice answered, “Come in.”With trembling hands, I turned the door knob and opened the door slowly. My steps were tentative as I walked into the office. Behind a desk sat a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and tired eyes. He glanced up at me, then at the paper in my hand.I stepped forward and held it out. “Good day, sir. Uh… the manager told me to give you this.”He took it, scanned it briefly, then gave me the kind of nod people give when they don’t really care. “Kendra!” he barked.From a corner, a young woman looked up from a phone she was scrolling on. She had braided hair tied back into a bun and wore the club’s uniform. She wore a short black skirt, white shirt, and blac

    CHAPTER 133: CRYSTAL'S ADVICE MAXIM:As soon as I left the clinic, I headed back to the pack house. I pushed the door to Crystal’s room open without even knocking. My chest felt heavy, like somebody had dropped a rock on it. I couldn’t keep this inside anymore.Crystal was sitting by the window, brushing her long hair. When she saw my face, she dropped the brush right away.“Maxim,” she said, standing. “What happened? You look like somebody just died.”I leaned against the wall, running my hands down my face. “It feels like I did.”Her eyes widened. “Tell me. What is it?”I swallowed hard, my throat dry. “Olivia… she’s pregnant.”Crystal froze. For a second she seemed like she wasn't breathing. Then she tilted her head, almost like she was trying to figure out if I was serious. “You… you should be happy then, right? Isn’t that what you always wanted from her? For years you prayed she would give you a child.”I shook my head fast, anger sparking in my chest. “No. Not anymore. You don’

    CHAPTER 132: THE DOMEVENUS:I don’t know how long I was out, but the next thing I felt was a rough tap on my shoulder.“Hey, miss… wake up.”My eyes snapped open. Two men in black uniforms with the mall’s logo stood over me, flashlights aimed at my face. My heart jumped into my throat. For a second, I thought Maxim had sent them.I pushed myself up from the bench, rubbing my eyes. “What… what is it?”One of them crossed his arms. “We should be the ones asking that. What are you doing here, sleeping in the open like this?”“I…” My throat tightened. Lying wouldn’t help. “I don’t have a place to stay.”They exchanged a quick look.“Are you homeless?” the taller one asked.I nodded slowly, hugging the paper bag with the money tight against my chest. “Yeah. Just for now. I just… I need somewhere to sleep. Please, I’m not causing trouble.”The shorter one squatted a little, his flashlight dimming. “Where are you from?”“Far from here.” My voice cracked. “I don’t wanna talk about it.”He si

    CHAPTER 131: OLIVIA IS PREGNANT MAXIM:“Take her to the pack clinic,” I had said to Conrad last night after he had informed me that Olivia was unconscious. I had better things to worry about than worrying about someone who has caused so much pain.I paced my office, my room, even the damn hallways. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw Venus’s face. I saw her eyes when she begged me to believe her. And then her back as she ran.I went out more than once, shifting into my wolf, sniffing the borders, praying I’d catch even the faintest trace of her scent. But nothing. Just cold air and my own damn guilt choking me.By morning, I looked like hell, but I didn’t care. I had one more thing to take care of before anything else—Olivia. Conrad had said she was out cold last night. I hadn’t bothered to check, too wound up in my own mess. But today, I needed answers.The walk to the clinic was quiet except for the sound of my angry feet hitting the gravel. A few pack members I passed bowed their hea

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    THE STRANGER'S KINDNESS

    CHAPTER130: THE STRANGER’S KINDNESSVENUS:I hugged my knees tighter to my chest, my entire body trembling as the rain poured down in sheets. My hair was plastered to my face, my clothes heavy and damp, sticking to my skin. The smell of gasoline from the abandoned station mixed with the earthy scent of wet asphalt, and every little sound out there felt like danger lurking.The moment I saw headlights earlier, my heart had stopped. I hid behind the wall and peeped but when the car stopped in front of the gas station and the driver stepped out, I knew I had to change my hiding position.So I pressed myself flat against the ground, crawling behind a half-fallen metal sign and broken crates. My fingers dug into the mud as I held my breath. The man had stepped out of the car, his boots crunching against the gravel as he circled around.“There’s no way Venus will be out here…” he muttered under his breath. “But I still have to check.”I didn’t move. I held myself from even breathing loudly.
