LOGINCHAPTER SEVENTY SEVENMIREYA'S POVI got into the car, still furious. "Let's go back home... he has completely jinxed my day," I muttered through gritted teeth, unable to hide the irritation in my voice. Nancy's expression, however, was something entirely different. She looked even more upset than I was. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, her eyes filled with obvious frustration, yet she remained silent. "Karl..." Ava whispered bitterly inside my head, and only then did it click. We weren't going to Karl's office anymore because my mood had been completely ruined... and that was all because of Corvin. I sighed inwardly. Without even realizing it, that idiot had just earned himself another enemy. Nancy had been looking forward to seeing Karl after weeks apart, and now even that had been taken away because of Corvin's stupidity.The ride back to the mansion was painfully quiet. No one spoke. The atmosphere inside the car was heavy enough to suffocate anyone. Sasha remained express
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIXMIREYA'S POVDisgust crawled beneath my skin the moment his arms wrapped around me. Every inch of my body stiffened with revulsion, and I couldn't even hide the irritation twisting across my face. Before I could shove him away or utter a single word, Sasha moved. She grabbed the back of Corvin's shirt with one hand and yanked him off me with terrifying ease before throwing him several feet away as though he weighed absolutely nothing. His body slammed hard against the polished floor, drawing gasps from the shoppers around us. The impact echoed through the boutique, making everyone instinctively take several cautious steps backward. The entire exchange happened so quickly that I barely had time to process it. My eyes widened in shock as I stared at Sasha. That... was brutal. Before I could recover from the surprise, I noticed both Sasha and Nancy reaching toward the concealed slits in their skirts almost simultaneously. Their movements were smooth, practiced, and
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVEMIREYA'S POVEver since that night, he had barely come home. The mansion suddenly felt far too big, too quiet, and too empty. I eventually moved out of his room, hoping the empty space beside his bed would make him realize what he was doing. Hoping he would come looking for me. Hoping he would at least ask why I had left. But nothing happened. It was as though my absence didn't matter to him at all. He continued avoiding me with frightening precision, coming home like a passing breeze and disappearing again before I even realized he'd been there. Some mornings I would wake up to find faint traces of his scent lingering in the hallway, proof that he had returned during the night, yet I never caught a glimpse of him. It was almost as though he deliberately chose the hours when I was asleep just to avoid seeing me. Every passing day made my chest feel heavier. Every night I found myself staring at the bedroom door until sleep eventually claimed me. That heartless m
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOURCORVIN'S POV“Ahhh!!” I roared in frustration, hurling the whiskey bottle in my hand straight at the full-length mirror across the room. The glass exploded on impact, shards scattering across the polished floor as alcohol splashed over the broken reflection staring back at me. My chest rose and fell violently, my fists trembling uncontrollably at my sides. Even shattered into countless pieces, my reflection still mocked me. It screamed failure. Weakness. Incompetence. Every fragment seemed to laugh at me, reminding me how badly tonight had ended. I had released that article with absolute confidence. It was supposed to destroy Knox's reputation, turn the elders against him, and make everyone question his right to become Alpha. Instead... nothing changed. He still walked out of that hall with Mireya by his side, proud and untouchable, while every elder bowed respectfully until his car disappeared from sight. They had come to celebrate me, yet the moment Knox appea
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREEKNOX'S POV Soon, we arrived back at the mansion. The car came to a smooth stop, and we both stepped out into the cool night air. The estate was unusually quiet, the only sounds coming from the distant chirping of insects and the faint rustling of leaves swaying in the wind. I walked toward the mansion in silence, my mind still trapped inside the events of the evening. Every step felt heavier than the last as countless thoughts crowded my head. Then, it suddenly clicked. There was someone. Someone I had personally trained years ago. An orphan whose entire family had been destroyed because of Elder Aiden's greed. She had sworn revenge with tears in her eyes, and I had turned that hatred into discipline. She had become one of the most skilled female fighters I had ever trained. Loyal. Ruthless. Most importantly... she had absolutely nothing left to lose. She would be the perfect person to protect Mireya while disguising herself as a maid. A quiet sigh escaped my
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWOKNOX'S POVStanding before such a large crowd had never been easy for me. Everywhere I looked, the faces were nothing but blurs. I couldn't recognize anyone unless it was through their mannerisms, the way they walked, their clothing style, or the photographs Jason had painstakingly made me memorize before we arrived. Every important elder, every business partner, every council member... I had spent hours committing tiny details to memory just so I wouldn't mistake one person for another. It was exhausting. Frustrating. One mistake could expose everything. Every passing second inside that hall only made my irritation grow stronger.The accusations kept coming one after another. My patience snapped little by little until all I wanted was to release Magnus and reduce the entire hall to rubble. Let them all disappear. Let the questions end. Let the judgment stop. Then... I felt her fingers wrap around my arm. Warm. Gentle. Grounding. My body immediately stiffened bef
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEMIREYA'S POVI froze in shock, and the first aid box slipped from my hands, crashing onto the floor and scattering its contents everywhere.“Alpha…”The word caught in my throat because, at that moment, my body was betraying me.It was the first time I had ever seen him shirtless.
CHAPTER FIFTYMIREYA'S POV“Get me the first aid box. I will go to the Alpha soon,” I said, impatiently drying my hair with a towel. “Hurry,” I urged her, unable to ignore the guilt gnawing at me. After taking a bath, I slipped into a comfortable silk nightdress. Of course, Nancy didn't own anythin
