The Beta's Castaway, The Alpha King's Queen Chapter 18: Samuel, We Won!
Arabella and Troy Thatcher were down to their very last unrevealed cards. This was their final chance to wager. Without a single second of hesitation, Arabella pushed her remaining pile of chips straight into the center of the felt. "All-in!" She lifted her striking eyes, locking her gaze directly on Troy. "Call, or fold?" Her voice was impossibly light, as casual as asking about the evening weather. Troy stared at the cards spread out across the table, his eyes narrowing. In all his years dominating this underground sanctuary, he had never run into a hand like this—where both players were fighting for the exact same card to complete their victory. The entire game boiled down to who pulled the Black Spade King. Troy loosened his tie, his gaze tracking the towering mountain of chips as raw, high-stakes temptation surged through his veins. "Call!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes flushing red with competitive heat. "I refuse to believe your hidden hole card is the Spade King
The Beta's Castaway, The Alpha King's Queen Chapter 17: Going All-In Right From the Start
A wave of intense heat washed over Arabella’s earlobes, dyeing them a brilliant, burning crimson. Seeing that he had teased her enough, Samuel straightened up, looping a possessive arm around her slender waist and guiding her straight toward the center gaming table. Only a single man sat at the table—dressed in a sharp silver-grey suit, wearing a polished silver mask that matched his striking silver hair. Samuel leaned in close to Arabella’s ear, his voice dropping into a low, rumbling hum. "That's the legendary pack legal shark, Troy Thatcher." Arabella silently repeated the name in her mind. *Troy Thatcher.* She knew his reputation well. He was City A’s most formidable divorce litigator—a legal titan whose courtroom record was spotless, boasting a hundred percent success rate in high-net-worth pack dissolutions. Countless mates trapped in miserable bonds begged for his representation, but Troy Thatcher was notoriously difficult to secure. He didn't care about exorbitant ret
The Beta's Castaway, The Alpha King's Queen Chapter 16: She would never leave me
Elena glanced at Arabella, making no effort to hide the sheer, icy contempt in her eyes. She turned to the tear-streaked Celeste, gently pulling her up and wiping the moisture from her cheeks with her thumb. "Don't cry, Celeste. I know everything you and Richard have been through. You've suffered so much just to secure a strong beta heir for the Roswell family line." "As for what Arabella just said—let alone whether she even holds the authority to break the pack bond, even if she steps down, there are plenty of high-ranking women lining up to take her place as the young mistress of the Roswell estate." The matriarch looked straight at Celeste, then unclasped the heavy, obsidian-and-silver ancestral bracelet from her own wrist—the ultimate symbol of family authority—and slid it down onto Celeste’s delicate wrist. "Celeste, I think you're a much better fit to carry our next generation." The sentence drifted softly across the room, landing straight in Arabella's ears like a physic
The Beta's Castaway, The Alpha King's Queen Chapter 15: I Want a Divorce from Richard Roswell
Samuel watched from the shadows, completely unbothered. Half of his body remained swallowed by the darkness, his metal lighter clicking open and shut, casting a flickering, intermittent light across his expressionless face. Elena looped her arm through Arthur’s, marching past Samuel as if he were nothing more than an insolent stranger who happened to block their path. Watching the couple walk away, Arabella didn't immediately follow. Instead, she turned her head back toward Samuel. In the dim evening light, beneath Samuel’s dangerously handsome facade, a quiet flash of isolation tugged at her chest. Her heart tightened instantly. She stepped closer to Samuel, her slender fingers gently hooking his sleeve as she lifted her eyes to meet his. "Samuel, let's go inside." Samuel lowered his dark, abyss-like eyes, meeting Arabella’s crystal-clear gaze. In that fraction of a second, he could see right through to the pure, hurting core of her soul. A shadow crossed his dark eyes, his
The Beta's Castaway, The Alpha King's Queen Chapter 14: Don't Cry, Sister-in-Law
*A fake marriage.* That was the one truth Natalia Roswell never dared to speak aloud. No matter how much she despised Arabella, or how badly she wanted her out of the family, as long as the Roswell enterprise maintained its lucrative partnership with Arabella's family firm, that fatal secret had to remain buried. Natalia pulled a rigid, severe expression, her dry, chapped lips pressing into a thin line of absolute, unspoken authority. "You misheard." She refused to utter another word about the fake marriage. Richard stepped forward to support Natalia, his dark eyes flashing coldly as he glanced back at Arabella. "Arabella, Mom and Dad should be arriving soon. Go outside and welcome them." Without waiting for her agreement, he looped his arm around Natalia's frail frame and ushered her deeper into the hall. Celeste shot Arabella a smug, triumphant look, sliding her arm through Natalia's other side with sickening intimacy. The three of them chattered and laughed together, look
The Beta's Castaway, The Alpha King's Queen Chapter 13: I'm Afraid Sister Will Be Angry
"What is going on here? The Second Young Master isn't backing his own brother—he's protecting his niece-in-law? Are those two actually close?" "Close? Are you kidding? Don't you know the Second Young Master and the eldest have been at war for years? Since the family could only pick one heir and locked onto the eldest from birth, even though the Second Young Master Samuel was the young master's Richard's uncle, he was still shipped overseas when he was six and left to fend for himself. He's harbored a bitter grudge against his own nephew ever since." "Ah, makes total sense. Samuel is just trying to stick it to Richard by shielding Arabella!" ... The commotion in the foyer was loud enough that it finally reached the ears of the matriarch, Natalia Roswell, upstairs. With her hair frosted silver, her eyes sharp as a hawk's, and her weight resting heavily on an ornate walking cane, she descended the grand staircase. "What is all this squabbling about?" Her aged voice carrie
