On a chilly evening, thick with fog and streetlight haze, a scream pierced the stillness of District 9.

A teenage boy convulsed in a cracked alleyway behind the arcade, foam lining the edges of his mouth. His friends stood paralyzed with fear, the small bag of bluish powder clutched in one of their trembling hands, the same bag they’d all dared each other to try just hours before.

He was rushed to St. Ivora’s Medical Center, still barely breathing. By dawn, he was in a coma. His name was Telson Ngala, and his mother, Thelma Ngala, hadn’t slept a second.

Dominic leaned back in his leather armchair, glass of scotch in hand. The morning reports were coming in shipment received, moved through underground pipelines, split, and redirected across sectors. His men worked clean. Every name erased. Every supplier untraceable. Or so he believed.

Cruz’s absence had created a gap, and Dominic had seized the opening ruthlessly. Drugs were no longer fun money they were power. Control.

    On a chilly evening, thick with fog and streetlight haze, a scream pierced the stillness of District 9.A teenage boy convulsed in a cracked alleyway behind the arcade, foam lining the edges of his mouth.

  • The Contract between two Alphas    Chapter 39

    The court had barely emptied when Serena stepped outside into the sunlight, her heart racing. Cameras flashed from every angle, reporters shouted her name, but for the first time in weeks, she didn’t feel hunted she felt victorious.Clara was served, Justice was served. Cruz had been found guilty of first-degree murder and would spend the rest of his life behind bars. His minions, the ones who had aided in silencing witnesses, had also been sentenced. The courtroom had erupted in gasps, the weight of truth finally slamming into the community.Now, standing on the court steps, Serena laughed for the first time in days a breathy, victorious sound that spilled from her chest like champagne. Her eyes scanned the crowd, searching.And then she saw him.Dominic stood near the base of the steps, away from the crowd, his arms folded across his chest and a small, almost shy smile tugging at his lips. The usually serious Alpha looked… relieved. Proud. Almost soft.She didn’t hesitate.Serena de

    The courtroom buzzed with tension as the final day of the trial commenced. The galleries were packed to the brim, civilians, media, and curious onlookers had flooded in, hoping to witness what many called the most pivotal trial of the decade.Serena sat upright, calm but determined, dressed in her usual sleek black suit that emphasized the gravity of the moment. Her face bore the weight of weeks of fighting, of evidence dug from silence and fear, of witnesses nearly broken. Across the room, Cruz leaned back in his chair, his usual mask of calm stretched thin. His lawyer, a tall, smug man named Elric Marden, whispered furiously into his ear.The judge entered. He took his seat and struck the gavel, silencing the courtroom instantly."Before we begin closing statements, this court acknowledges the chaos and tension this case has brought. I urge all present to respect the law and its process."The defense council stood first. She moved with confidence, painting Cruz as a misunderstood le

    The courtroom was quieter than usual. The buzz of anticipation had dulled, replaced by a tension so taut it threatened to snap. Word had spread after the last session Serena had shaken the very walls of the court with her emotional defense and the testimonies of victims’ families. Now, everyone waited to see if she could deliver again or if Cruz’s side would recover.Serena stood near her table, hands clenched behind her back, eyes sweeping the room. Ashley and Ada decided to attend and give her moral support. They weren't the type to conveniently be there, but for some reason decided to. Serena’s gaze flicked toward the entrance. The families she had spoken to were supposed to appear again. They had agreed. They had cried with her, shaken her hands, vowed to speak.But when the doors opened, the energy shifted. They changed.The first family entered. They looked smaller than she remembered. As they sat down, avoiding her gaze, Serena’s heart dropped. The next family followed the Elli

    The courtroom was once again filled to capacity council members seated stiffly along the high benches, public observers whispering behind raised hands, and the press craning for the perfect shot. This time, however, the tension felt different. Less like a spectacle. More like reckoning.Serena stood tall in her tailored black suit, no jewelry. This wasn’t about emotions. Not today. It was about facts. About justice. And she had come prepared.Cruz entered with that same mask of pleasant humility, shaking hands with the bailiff, offering a polite nod to the elders. His demeanor was crisp, clean his smile warm enough to melt doubt in the average onlooker.But Serena could see the glint in his eye. The calculation behind the charm. “We are here to continue the trial brought forward by Attorney Serena for her late client Clara. This time, the court will hear extended charges linked to the case of Clara and potential corroborative testimonies from other witnesses.”Cruz leaned slightly fo

    The council chamber smelled of incense and old dust, as if wisdom itself had begun to rot. Serena sat straight-backed in the semi-circle formation, flanked by high-ranking elders from three allied packs and most of them old enough to remember the last alpha war firsthand, and all of them looking at her like a stain they couldn’t scrub out of the bloodline.“This has gone too far.”It was Elder Ramos who broke the silence first. His voice always carried like thunder across a canyon, thick with judgment. “You’ve pulled our most strategic attention toward human courts, councilwoman Vale. When our borders remain threatened and internal allegiance is thinning. And for what? A personal vendetta against a high politician?”“He’s not just a politician,” Serena replied evenly, already braced for the fallout. “He’s laundering for the Ashen Circle, and we have reason to believe he tampered with our Park’s detonation.”Elder Yun scoffed. “You’re wielding suspicion like it’s evidence, Vale.
