The Contract between two Alphas Chapter 78
Serena’s POV My name was on every news channel, plastered across every feed, every whispered conversation. Serena, the lawyer who defended a criminal secretly a monster herself?Mara’s recording spread like wildfire. She had caught fragments my voice lowered, the faint growl of someone on the other end of the line, mentions of “the pack.” It wasn’t proof, not really, but it was enough to ignite suspicion. Enough to make the people I’d defended, the people I’d sacrificed for, turn their eyes on me.I thought no one would believe it. Some didn’t. Many laughed it off, saying Mara was bitter, desperate. But disbelief never killed curiosity. Instead, it sharpened it. Suddenly, I wasn’t Serena the lawyer, I was Serena the anomaly.And so they dragged me in.The room smelled of iron, cold and sharp, and my skin prickled the moment I stepped inside. Three men and two women sat across from me, experts they called themselves psychologists, occult specialists, people who studied things no law
The Contract between two Alphas Chapter 77
Mara’s POVI told myself I was only following her out of professional duty. That was the lie I clung to as the hours ticked past midnight and my body ached from sitting too long in the car, watching the dim light in Serena’s apartment window. The truth was uglier, harder to admit: I was obsessed.Something about her didn’t fit. She wasn’t just clever, she wasn’t just lucky. There was a strangeness to her victories, an edge I could never explain. And after Cruz’s release, the whispers in the courthouse, Peter’s smirk at the back of the room I couldn’t let it go.So I followed her. Again.Tonight, I got lucky. Serena returned late, slipping into her building like she didn’t want to be seen. She wasn’t alone. A tall man with sharp movements and eyes that glinted too brightly in the streetlight followed her inside. My heart thudded. Something in my gut screamed wrong.I parked across the street and waited. Minutes stretched into an hour before curiosity burned hotter than caution. I stepp

Mara’s POVThe courtroom was still buzzing in my ears even after the doors shut behind me. Flashes of light burned across my vision from the cameras, voices overlapping, reporters hurling questions I didn’t answer. None of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was the sinking weight pressing against my chest: I had lost again.Not technically, of course. On paper, I hadn’t lost. I had “conceded procedural points,” followed the law, maintained professional ethics. That’s what the record would say. But I knew better. Everyone knew better. Serena had walked in, flipped the narrative, and suddenly she was the savior of justice. I, Mara the one who fought tooth and nail for this conviction was painted as weak, incompetent, and worse: complicit.By the time I reached the steps of the courthouse, the whispers had grown into open condemnation.“She didn’t even fight.”“Is she really a prosecutor, or just scared?”“Serena should’ve been the one in charge from the start.”The words cut dee
The Contract between two Alphas Chapter 75
Serena’s POVThe pack was quiet, but I wasn’t. I couldn’t be. Cruz was free. My plan had been carefully layered, precise, and impossible to fail or so I thought. Yet here I was, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep, the weight of failure pressing down on me. Every possibility ran through my mind. Every small slip, every minor miscalculation, and then the unthinkable: someone had betrayed us.Ashley, Ada, and Lynn hovered near me as I sank into the sofa. Their presence was comforting, but my mind refused to rest. “It’s not your fault, Serena,” Ashley said again, her voice calm and steady, as if repetition could make it true. “You did everything you could. You were careful and You were precise. Cruz being free doesn’t erase that.”I nodded quietly, letting her words wash over me. I wanted to believe them, I really did, but deep down I knew they were only half right. I had been careful. I had been precise. But precision means nothing when someone leaks information or acts against the

Serena’s POVThe courtroom was packed. Cameras flashed from every corner, reporters scribbled furiously, and the low hum of whispers filled the room. Mara stood at the prosecutor’s desk, sharp in her suit, eyes forward, jaw tight, keeping herself composed. Peter sat quietly at the back, expression unreadable, a reminder that every move I made was being watched.I took my place at the defense table, chest tight but mind alert. This was the moment. Cruz’s fate was on the line, and everyone thought they knew what I was doing. No one did. Not really.The judge peered over her glasses, voice calm but direct. “Ms. Serena, you were the attorney who secured Mr. Cruz’s detention. Now, you are representing him? Can you explain why you are counteracting the very evidence you yourself presented?”I straightened my back and met her gaze. “Your Honor, in the course of my review, I have discovered critical factors that were not fully understood at the time of his initial detention. I now believe Mr.

Serena’s POV Mara stood rigid in front of the director’s desk, fists clenched at her sides, jaw tight, her sharp eyes flicking between the director and Peter. I stayed near the doorway, observing. I didn’t need to step in yet. This was Mara’s problem and soon, it would be her downfall. I couldn't believe how daft she was . She was clearly celebrating this position yesterday, which made her change her mind. “I am not doing this,” Mara said, her voice tight, controlled, but brimming with barely restrained anger. “I cannot take this prosecution alone. It’s too big. Too risky. I will fail. And if I fail, my career is over. My clients will leave. My reputation…”“You will do it,” the director interrupted, voice calm but unyielding. “Alone. Peter is a client. He expects results. Your personal grievances are irrelevant. Take responsibility. Or leave the firm.”Mara’s eyes narrowed, her breathing sharp and deliberate. “Leave? You know I can’t just walk away from this. And you know this will
