Chapter 12

Author: Aurora
I have no idea how they managed to slip past our security detail and crash my marking ceremony.

There they stood in the grand ballroom—Damien and Marcus wearing wrinkled, ill-fitting suits that looked like they'd been pulled from a donation bin. The stench of desperation and unwashed bodies clung to them like a cloud.

But Damien acted as if he belonged here, completely blind to the horrified expressions of our distinguished guests.

"Elena, I know I made mistakes. You're only marrying him to hurt me, aren't you?"

His voice carried across the silent ballroom, every word dripping with delusion.

"Please come back to me. I can rebuild everything and give you the life you deserve."

He gestured wildly at Adrian, who stood perfectly composed beside me.

"This is just a business arrangement without real love. But I will love you forever!"

Then he turned to Marcus with desperate urgency.

"Good son, call mommy!"

The little boy had clearly been broken down by their recent hardships. Gone was the de

    (Damien's POV)I watched from the shadows as Elena walked down that aisle in her stunning gown, radiant as moonlight itself.My chest felt like it was caving in. Every breath was agony.Adrian stood there waiting for her, looking at her like she was his entire world. The way I should have looked at her all those years.For ten years, I believed Scarlett was my childhood savior. I convinced myself that repaying her kindness justified everything I put Elena through.What a fool I was.When Elena told me the truth—that she was the one who saved me, who fed me, who kept me alive—it shattered every lie I'd built my life on.I tried to win her back. Begged on my knees like a pathetic dog.But she was done with me. Completely, utterly done.The woman who once loved me so desperately she bore my child without any recognition now looked at me like I was nothing.She didn't even want Marcus anymore. Our son, who she'd nursed through countless sleepless nights when he was sick.I remembered how s

    Adrian's years of dedicated training weren't just for show. When he found Damien trying to force himself on me, something primal awakened in him.He tackled Damien to the ground with devastating efficiency, his fists connecting with bone in a rhythm that spoke of barely controlled rage.If I hadn't grabbed his arm, genuinely worried he might kill the bastard, Adrian would have beaten Damien into unconsciousness.The pack enforcers arrived just in time. This particular street had comprehensive surveillance coverage, which worked perfectly in our favor.After reviewing the footage, the enforcers quickly charged Damien with attempted forced marking—a serious crime in werewolf law.With both the Blackwood and Silverstone Packs backing the case, Damien had zero chance of escaping the pack detention center.Meanwhile, my parents launched their own investigation into the Rivers family's past. The results were even more damning than I'd expected.Damien had always painted Scarlett's parents as

    "How dare you let those filthy men touch your body!" Damien's voice cracked with rage. "Am I being too nice to you? Is that why you think you can do this to me?"His eyes blazed with a madness I'd never seen before. The composed Alpha facade had completely crumbled, revealing the unstable man beneath."Do you know what it did to me? Seeing you with that man made me lose my mind! I wanted to kill both of you! You absolutely cannot betray me!"Before I could react, his mouth crashed against mine with desperate hunger. The kiss was violent, possessive, meant to claim rather than cherish.All I could think about was how this same mouth had kissed Scarlett. How many times had he whispered sweet promises to her with these lips? The thought made my stomach churn with revulsion.I waited for the right moment, then drove my knee upward with all the force I could muster.Damien collapsed to the ground, his face contorting in agony as he clutched himself."I warned you!" I spat, backing away from

    For several days now, Damien Thorne has been desperately searching for any trace of me throughout the territory.The irony isn't lost on me. To protect his fragile ego all those years ago, I'd told him I was nothing more than an illegitimate daughter of the Blackwood family—a shameful secret they barely acknowledged.Now he watches me come and go from the Blackwood Estate like I own the place, but he only dares lurk outside the gates like some pathetic stalker.He doesn't dare set foot on our property.Even with all his newfound power as Shadow Pack's Alpha, he knows better than to openly challenge the royal family of the Southern Territory. The Blackwood Pack could crush his little operation without breaking a sweat.But desperation makes people do foolish things.Today he brought Marcus with him.My barely five-year-old son stands wilting under the brutal afternoon sun, his small lips already pale from the heat. Damien is using our child as a weapon, hoping the sight of Marcus suffer

  • The Queen Left After Alpha’s Betrayal   Chapter 8

    Hearing Adrian bring up those childhood memories made heat rise to my cheeks. The embarrassment was almost unbearable."Stop talking about it..." I mumbled, covering my ears with both hands like a child trying to block out teasing.But Adrian's voice found its way through my defenses anyway, soft and intimate against my ear."Do you know how jealous I was of that man? I worked so hard for ten years to become worthy of you, but he took advantage when you were vulnerable."His breath was warm against my skin as he continued. "Do you know that when I heard you were in love while I was abroad, I almost left this world?"The raw pain in his voice made my chest tighten. All those years, while I'd been pouring my heart into someone who didn't deserve it, Adrian had been suffering in silence."Luckily, that man had no vision. Even if I'm being shameless, would you be willing to be with me?"Before I could even process his question, a familiar voice cut through the moment like a blade."She won
