“Oh. Come on…” I sighed, dragging a hand down my face.

Rowan, Kieran, Damon, and Silas stood in the foyer like four very judgmental Greek statues carved entirely out of overprotective testosterone. All four noses lifted at once.

Wolf super-scent.

Fantastic.

Kieran’s nostrils flared. “Who is that?”

Rowan’s eyes narrowed. “Male. Not familiar. Not pack.”

Silas leaned closer and muttered darkly, “Not human either.”

Damon stepped forward, folding his arms like he was about to deliver a verdict. “Clara. Explain.”

I raised both hands, exasperated. “I went for a coffee with Cass. A man talked to me. Calm the hell down. He didn’t bite me or lick me or propose in the street.”

“That’s not reassuring,” Rowan said flatly.

“Why were you close enough to smell him?” Kieran asked.

I blinked. “Uh… because that’s how conversations work?”

Silas muttered something about “idiot charmers” and “British accents being a plague.”

Damon growled quietly. “Describe him.”

Oh, great. A police sketch moment.

  • The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister   Chapter 99: Message

    Next morning I stood in my bedroom, trading silk for steel in my spine.The mansion was awake now. Not loud - Vale never was - but alert in the way predators were alert after blood had been spilled. Doors opened softly. Footsteps passed with purpose. The pack moved like a living organism, pretending this was just another morning while quietly counting exits, weapons, allies.The media could howl. The markets could burn. Crestfall Systems could collapse in a spectacular, very public death spiral.Vale still stood.And I was done reacting.I fastened the cuff of my blouse with precise fingers. Black silk. Clean lines. Nothing soft. Panic was a luxury for people without enemies - and I had too many to indulge.“You’re plotting.”Cameron’s voice came from behind me, rough with sleep and pain and something darker underneath.I didn’t turn right away. I smiled at my reflection first - calm, composed, lethal - then finally faced him.He was propped against the headboard, bare feet tangled in

    The morning headlines hit like a coordinated ambush.I stared at the tablet on my kitchen island while the mansion slowly woke around me, coffee untouched, jaw locked so tight it ached.UNSTABLE HEIRESS AT THE HELM CLARA VALE - CEO UNFIT TO LEAD AFTER NIGHT OF VIOLENCE FROM BOARDROOM TO BLOODBATH - WHO IS CLARA VALE REALLY? CRESFALL SYSTEMS COLLAPSE: VALE CONNECTION QUESTIONEDCute. Very creative. Points for alliteration. Zero for accuracy.I scrolled.Anonymous “sources.” Concerned “investors.” A psychologist who had never met me diagnosing “impulse control issues.” Someone even dragged up Pinewood again - because why not.Unstable. Unfit. Loser.I laughed once, sharp and humorless.“They always go for the woman first.” I muttered.Rowan stood across from me, arms folded, watching my reaction with the same focus he’d use to watch an enemy shift. Silas leaned against the doorway, phone to his ear, already barking orders. Kieran was quiet - dangerously so - which meant he was ten

    Cameron nodded once. No theatrics. No posturing. Just truth - raw and ugly. “Blackridge,” he began. “My pack. Or what’s left of it."The room shifted. Wolves stirred beneath skin. Even the air felt sharper.“Blackridge wasn’t just a pack.” Cameron continued. “It was a border power. Old money. Old land. Old enemies. Pinewood sat right on the edge of it - neutral ground everyone pretended not to notice.”My stomach twisted.“You’re saying Pinewood- ” I started.“ - was a surveillance nest,” he finished. “For years.”Every memory flashed at once. The way I’d always felt watched. The unease I’d blamed on trauma. The paranoia everyone said I was imagining.I wasn’t. Those wolves in shadows were real.Cameron’s gaze stayed on me as he spoke, like he couldn’t bear to look away. “You weren’t unprotected there, Clara. You were… contained.”Silas swore under his breath. I have no idea when he appeared. “Mara knew what mine pack was.” Cameron went on. “She made a deal when she arranged your mot

    The kiss didn’t end the way kisses were supposed to. It shattered.I was still close enough to Cameron to feel the heat of him, my fingers curled in his shirt, my pulse doing reckless things against his chest, when the door flew open without a knock.“Clara.” Rowan’s voice cut in. Tight. Wrong.I pulled back slowly, breath uneven, eyes never leaving Cameron’s. His gaze stayed locked on mine for a heartbeat longer - dark, unreadable, unfinished - before instinct snapped him alert. Alpha first. Always.“What is it?” I asked, already bracing.Rowan didn’t soften it. He never did when it mattered. “Crestfall Systems just collapsed.”The words hit harder than any punch I’d taken in the woods.“…What?”“Not a dip. Not a scare.” He stepped fully into the room, shutting the door behind him. “Full bankruptcy. Trading halted. Assets frozen. Subsidiaries are falling like dominos.”My stomach dropped. That wasn’t possible. Crestfall Systems was a monster - old money, deep roots, redundancies stac

    Across the hall, the doors creaked open as more guards entered - late, tense, confused by the sudden shift in power. Boots halted. Conversations died mid-breath.The room still smelled like violence.The young Alpha lay groaning at the base of the pillar, not dead - unfortunately - but broken enough to serve as a warning. No one rushed to help him. Not one of his witnesses. Not one ally. In this world, weakness invited silence.Cameron stood motionless at my side, blood seeping steadily through the fabric stretched across his ribs. His breathing was controlled, measured, but I felt it - felt the strain through the bond like a low ache behind my eyes.The older Alpha - silver-haired, sharp-eyed, dangerous in the quiet way - took a slow step backward. His gaze never left Cameron.“Then this gathering,” he said carefully, every word weighed, “has just become something far bigger than proposals and politics.”A ripple moved through the room. Not panic. Not fear. Recognition.He bowed his

    I turned. He stood at the threshold, dressed in black borrowed clothes that fit him like they’d always been his. Kieran hovered half a step behind him, ready to catch him if he swayed, but Cameron stood tall, shoulders squared, eyes burning with quiet, lethal promise.The bond surged. Not wild. Not frantic. Claimed. Just Claimed.Rhys sniffed the air, than stiffened. “You’re injured.”Cameron smiled thinly. "You’re alive. For now"He took another step forward. The room reacted instinctively - Alphas shifting, wolves bristling, witnesses going silent.I walked toward him without hesitation, stopping just within arm’s reach. “You should be in bed.” I murmured.He dipped his head closer, voice just for me. “I'd missed the show.”I turned back to the room, lifting my chin.“For the record,” I said clearly, “any future proposals should be addressed to both of us.”Rhys’s gaze flicked between us, sharp now. Calculating.“You’re not fully bonded,” he said. “I’d know.”Cameron’s hand slid to
