CHAPTER 76: THE LAST OF THE BLOODLINE

VENUS:

I took the photo from Elspeth and took a long look at it. It was a picture of a chubby child with cute brown eyes.

There was no smile on the baby's face as she stared at the camera and it looked as though she knew she was about to face the cruel world without her beloved parents.

Maxine took the picture from me and also looked at it. “This was certainly you, Venus,” Maxine remarked without hesitation. “You held on to the officer's shirt stubbornly and didn't even bother to smile at the camera.”

I chuckled. I knew Maxine was trying to ease the tension on my shoulders.

Elspeth shuffled around in her slippers, gathering a few things that had something to do with me.

“You said… I had a mark,” I reminded her softly, trying to prompt her memory.

She nodded slowly, then sat across from me and leaned forward. “Yes. A crescent-shaped mark, like a half-moon… right here.” She motioned to my shoulder. “That mark is not just any birthmark, my dear. It’

    CHAPTER 94: YOU KIDNAPPED MEMAXINE:I led Venus upstairs to our room and returned to my study. I can't lie down and slumber away while my pack and my legacy is at stake.I stared at the map sprawled across the oak table in my war room. Every inch of parchment had pins, strings, and red marks. These are all Draven’s territory, his guard routes, and his weak spots. The bastard had gotten too comfortable thinking he could attack me anytime he wanted. He probably knew I was away on a honeymoon. But what he didn’t know is that I could smell his desperation from Paris. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, desperate alphas make reckless moves.I stood in front of the window overlooking the courtyard, the night dense with fog. My breath fogged the glass. Behind me, Conrad, my most trusted Beta and enforcer, stepped into the room with a tablet in hand.“He's just left the west border,” Conrad said, tapping the screen. “Draven’s been frequenting that healer's cottage outside his pack's peri

    CHAPTER 92: ENDING THE HONEYMOON IN A HURRY VENUS:I glanced around. Maxine was sleeping peacefully, oblivious to the turmoil raging in my heart. I went back to sleep after a moment and had another dream. It played before my eyes like the behind the scenes of a movie. Draven has gathered his warriors and was barking orders. And then I saw them matching towards Bloodclaws pack with weapons and furry. Then houses began to go up in flames.As I jolted up in bed, the room was cloaked in darkness, but the vividness of the vision still danced before my eyes. I clutched the sheets against my chest, my heartbeat thundering in my ears.Maxine stirred beside me. “Venus?” he murmured, voice husky with sleep. “What’s wrong?”I turned to him, struggling to steady my breathing. “I saw something, Maxine. A vision.”“Tell me about it, “ he said, sitting up. “I saw Draven… he’s planning something. He’s going to attack your pack while you’re gone.”He sat up immediately, fully alert now. “Are you su

    CHAPTER 92: SIGHTSEEING AND THE SHADOWS VENUS:I slept In Maxine's arms and when the morning came and the sunlight poured into the hotel suite like honey, I stirred lazily in bed, my limbs tangled in the silky sheets. My body was sore in the best ways possible. Maxine was already up, shirtless and humming softly as he buttoned his designer pants."Why are you getting dressed so early?" I murmured, yawning as I propped myself up on the pillows.He turned, grinning. "I made you a promise last night, remember. Get dressed, beautiful. We’re going sightseeing."I groaned. “Isn't it too early? We haven't even had breakfast.”“Don't worry, I'll take care of that.”I knew that when he said he would do something, be rest assured that he would do it. I quickly washed up and got dressed.It was late morning when we left our hotel room. Paris unfolded before us in shimmering opulence.Our first stop was at a fancy restaurant with waiters that dressed like bankers.“Eating here must cost a fortu

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    SPOILING ME ROTTEN

    CHAPTER 91: SPOILING ME ROTTEN VENUS:As we stepped into our hotel room, Maxine grabbed my shoulders and pinned me against the wall, kissing me furiously. He tore off my clothes, and pushed me down on the bed. I don't know where the cuff came from but before I knew what was happening, my hands were cuffed above my head to the bed posts.His lips ravaged my entire body and I could only moan and whimper and wriggle my body since I was restrained. It was a night of endless pleasure and by the time Maxine was done with me, I could barely lift my lashes.We slept, curled up together and by the time I woke up, the sunlight spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of our hotel room like golden silk, painting the sheets in a soft glow. I stretched languidly, letting out a tiny yawn as I rolled over into Maxine’s arms. He was already awake, his hazel eyes fixed on me with that boyish grin I was growing way too fond of.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he whispered, brushing a strand of h

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    A NIGHT OUT IN PARIS

    CHAPTER 90: A NIGHT OUT IN PARISVENUS:I was excited when we stepped out of the room, casually dressed and heading off to the club. Paris glowed like a dream, its lights glimmering off the Seine and dancing across every glossy window we passed. Maxine and I stepped out of the sleek black car, our hands entwined as we stood at the entrance of a stylish lounge located just off the Champs-Élysées. The night was crisp, alive with music and movement, and everything felt like a page torn straight out of a romance novel.“Are you ready to experience night life in Paris?” Maxine asked with a crooked smile, his hand finding the small of my back.I beamed at him. “Absolutely. You said we’d make memories. Let’s start tonight.”He chuckled and opened the door for me. The thump of bass was loud and intoxicating as we stepped into the velvet-lit interior. The lounge was warm and opulent, lit by soft golds and purples, and filled with couples, tourists, and locals who seemed ready to enjoy life t

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    A BLISSFUL SHOWER

    CHAPTER 89: A BLISSFUL SHOWER VENUS:As I walked into his embrace, he wrapped his arms around me for a moment.“We're a couple. There's nothing to hide between us,” he said as he stared me in the eyes. “Also, I brought you here, away from pack activities so we can spend intimate moments together. And that intimate moment starts right now.”I nodded and allowed him to take off my clothes. “You are beautiful, Venus. You have the body of a goddess. It's smooth and glows.”I looked down, unable to meet his gaze. “Look at me,” he said, lifting my chin so I could look at him. “Are you shy?”I shook my head and muttered, “No.”He brushed a kiss across my lips, took my hand and led me to the bathroom. Maxine and I stepped into the bathroom together. The shower enclosure was wide, encased in clear glass, and the overhead rain showerhead gave the illusion of standing beneath a warm waterfall. The bathroom smelled of luxury and lavender — like something out of a dream. My cheeks were alread
