“I heard he got arrested.”
Maera froze.
“Arrested?”
Crystal nodded.
“Why?”
“They said he was driving under the influence.”
Drunk?
The word echoed in Maera's head.
“If he wanted to get himself killed, he should've driven off a cliff somewhere,” Crystal muttered bitterly. “Not through the middle of the city where he could hurt innocent people.”
But Maera barely heard the rest.
Her mind

“Miss Veilthorn.”“Family of Mrs. Veilthorn?”Two voices called out to her at the same time.One belonged to Jorah Damaric.The other came from a man dressed in surgical scrubs who had just emerged through the double doors leading from the operating room.Crystal helped Maera to her feet and, without asking a single question, guided her toward the doctor instead of Jorah.“How is my grandmother, Doctor?” Maera asked anxiously.The handsome young physician—the same doctor who had been fighting to save her grandmother from the very beginning—looked at her with a calm expression. Before answering, his gaze briefly shifted past her shoulder toward Jorah, who had somehow moved close enough to stand beside them without her noticing.“The surgery was successful, and Mrs. Veilthorn's condition is now stable,” he said. “The anesthesia will take a few more hours to wear off, but overall, your grandmother is going to be just fine.”

Crystal leaned back in her chair.“I heard he got arrested.”Maera froze.“Arrested?”Crystal nodded.“Why?”“They said he was driving under the influence.”Drunk?The word echoed in Maera's head.“If he wanted to get himself killed, he should've driven off a cliff somewhere,” Crystal muttered bitterly. “Not through the middle of the city where he could hurt innocent people.”But Maera barely heard the rest.Her mind had already drifted back to the moment of the accident.She had been waving goodbye to her grandmother.Then came the screech of tires.She had turned her head and seen a red car swerving uncontrollably across the road.And then—Chaos.People screaming.A crowd gathering.Her grandmother lying on the pavement, covered in blood.The car.It had been Jayden's car.At the time, she'd been too consumed by panic and fear f

The first thing Maera saw when she opened her eyes was a white ceiling and pale blue curtains surrounding her bed.What happened?Frowning, she pushed herself upright. The moment she put weight on her arm, a slight sting shot through her left hand. Looking down, she found an IV line taped to her skin.“You're awake.”A nurse approached, a clipboard tucked beneath her arm.“Where am I?” Maera asked, her voice rough and scratchy.“The ER. You collapsed from shock and exhaustion.” The nurse checked the IV bag hanging beside the bed. It was only a third full now. “It's just vitamins. Once it's finished, you'll be free to go home.”The ER?Confusion washed over her.How had she ended up here?The last thing she remembered was sitting in Jorah Damaric's office inside the Drenvarr Building.“Who brought me here?” she asked.“I'm sorry, I don't know,” the nurse replied apologetically. “I just starte

Maera hurried into the building Jorah had mentioned, almost breaking into a run as she crossed the lobby.“I need to see Mr. Jorah Damaric,” she said to the receptionist.The woman looked her over from head to toe, her expression difficult to read.“Do you have an appointment?” she asked, her tone noticeably sharper than necessary.Maera nodded nervously, but the receptionist continued to regard her with obvious skepticism.“Your name?”“Maera Veilthorn,” she replied, unable to hide her impatience.Stress was already weighing heavily on her, and the woman's condescending attitude only made it worse. She knew she looked disheveled and completely out of place in a prestigious building like Drenvarr Tower. But she hadn't had time to go home and change into something more presentable—something that would make her look worthy of meeting wealthy executives and powerful businessmen.Maybe it was just her imagination, but the way the receptionist picked up the phone and dialed a number seemed

Orion's eyes widened dramatically. He looked genuinely offended.“Yes,” Jorah said without hesitation. “I'm kicking you out.”“Why?”This time, his voice sounded almost hurt.“Because I'm sick of both of you.”The blunt response made Orion struggle to hold back a laugh.If Jorah weren't a Beta—and if he weren't someone Kael considered a younger brother—he would have fled this entire situation long ago.He still couldn't agree with Kael's plan to make Maera the surrogate who would carry his Alpha offspring.Again and again, Jorah had laid out every fear and concern he could think of, only for Kael to brush them aside as though none of them mattered. Every argument Jorah raised was met with unwavering certainty.“She’s just an ordinary human. If she carries your child—a child conceived from your powerful bloodline and spiritual aura—I’m afraid her body won’t be able to withstand it. She could be put in serious danger.”Jorah had voiced that concern one evening, but Kael hadn't even flin

“Hello.”Jorah answered the call on his phone in a cold tone that made Kael glance at him with one eyebrow raised.Both Kael and Jorah could already guess who was calling. And even though Kael had told him to be polite, Jorah simply couldn't bring himself to do it. A part of him was still hoping Kael would change his mind about Maera.“M-Mr. Damaric?”The hesitant squeak in Maera's voice only deepened Jorah's guilt.He knew she didn't deserve such a frosty reception. She had no idea what Kael was planning. Right now, she was probably confused, anxious, and overwhelmed, believing her grandmother was in critical condition when, in reality, the woman was perfectly fine. Her current situation was merely part of an arrangement orchestrated by Kael and his best friend—the vampire, Damon Vargrave—who, unfortunately, happened to be the director of the hospital.“Yes. Who am I speaking with?” Jorah continued the charade.“I-I'm Maera Veilthorn,” she replied, her voice tight with nerves.“Do I

Maera watched as Kael’s car drove away. Unconsciously, she rubbed the arm he had grabbed earlier. There was no warmth or strange sensation like what she had felt before. Everything seemed normal now, so why had she felt something so odd back then?Maera entered her grandmother’s room, just to make

"Is there a problem?" A police car stopped just half a meter behind Jayden, and an officer in uniform approached. With just a quick glance, Maera could tell that the officer was a sycophant—he flashed a knowing smile at Jayden just before walking closer. "You're Miss Veilthorn, right? Who’s the m

“My job is done,” Maera said as she took off her apron and hung it back in its place. She glanced at the kitchen wall clock—it was seventeen minutes past ten. The restaurant was quite busy tonight, which meant there had been no shortage of dirty dishes for her to wash.“Here’s your pay for tonight

"If I may ask, who were those two girls just now?" Kael asked Miss Clarks right after turning his face away and focusing once more on the path ahead.They were on their way to Rowena Clarks’s office—the director and caretaker of the orphanage where Kael Drenvarr intended to become a donor."Oh, tha
