ログインThe Redborne pack continued to face one test after another.

No public aThe next day, Aslan Winterchase arrived at the Redborne Tower boardroom earlier than anyone else. He did it on purpose. He wanted to set the tone. He sat at the head of the long table, in Matthias’s usual seat, with cold, unreadable eyes. His Beta assistant, Calix, stood behind him with the same distant expression.When the doors opened, the other shareholders walked in. They froze for a second when they saw the rarely seen Alpha of Winterchase sitting there like he already owned the room.Paloma entered last, walking with confident, swaying hips, dressed to draw every eye. She looked like she already ruled Redborne International Industries. But the moment her gaze landed on Aslan, her steps faltered. Her seductive smile froze. Her wolf whimpered inside her, recognizing the ancient bloodline that ran much deeper and older than the Redbornes.“What… are you doing here?” Paloma asked, her voice stuttering slightly. She slowly moved to her seat and sat down,
The Redborne pack continued to face one test after another.This time, the High Council sent an urgent summons. A shipment linked to Redborne territory was under investigation for smuggling infertility potions and silver weapons into Furtooth lands. Matthias had no choice but to attend the council trial. Shaina insisted on going with him.The moment they arrived, something felt deeply wrong. Only Elder Varyn and two other elders sat at the high table. No full council. No public audience. Council soldiers surrounded Matthias as soon as he stood at the center. Shaina was forced to sit in the audience section, with two armed guards standing right behind her.The trial began without proper procedure. The charges were read quickly, and the verdict seemed already decided.“You can’t do this!” Matthias growled, his voice echoing through the cold chamber. “Under any law, you need solid proof before detaining me. This so-called crime has barely been investigated!”
While Matthias and Shaina were wrapped in each other’s arms, the fire crackling softly beside them, Matthias suddenly scooped her up with a mischievous grin. His strong arms held her easily against his chest.“Since our daughter isn’t here yet,” he murmured, voice low and playful, “there are no interruptions tonight.”Shaina laughed softly, her cheeks turning a light pink. She already knew exactly what he meant. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she leaned in and kissed him again, slow and full of love.Matthias carried her toward the master bedroom, their lips never parting. Shaina wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him close as he walked. The door clicked shut behind them, and the rest of the world faded away.He laid her gently on the big bed, his body covering hers with care. Their kisses grew deeper, but never rushed. Matthias’s hands moved slowly over her body, peeling away her clothes with reverence, like he was unwrapping something preciou
When Matthias stepped through the front door of the Redborne mansion that evening, the familiar warmth of home wrapped around him like a soft blanket. The lights glowed gently in the living room, and the faint scent of Shaina’s favorite tea lingered in the air. He heard her voice first, calm and focused, talking with Boren near the fireplace.A sharp pang of jealousy twisted in his chest. Boren stood close, speaking seriously while Shaina listened with her full attention, her hand resting lightly on the back of a chair. Matthias’s Lycan instincts stirred, possessive and protective, his aura flickering for just a second.But the moment Shaina saw him, everything changed.Her face lit up with that loving smile that always made his heart skip. She rushed toward him without hesitation, her steps quick and light across the wooden floor. “Matthias!” she called softly, her voice full of relief and warmth.She reached him and threw her arms around his neck, pu
Inside the Redborne Tower, Paloma moved like she owned the place.With twenty-three percent of the shares in her hands, no one could easily throw her out. She walked the halls with her head high, wearing tight dresses that showed off her body, smiling at employees as if she belonged there. Every day she tried to disrupt Matthias. She would “accidentally” bump into him in the corridors, brush her hand against his arm, or show up at meetings she had no right to attend.One afternoon, she followed him into his private office when the door was left open for a moment. She closed it behind her and leaned against it, letting her omega scent leak out slowly, sweet, heavy, and full of heat.“Matthias,” she purred, stepping closer. “You’ve been working so hard. You look tense. Let me help you relax.” She reached out, fingers trailing down his chest. “Remember how good it felt when I took care of you? I can do that again. Right here. I’ll get on my knees and worship your
The same day Liliana woke up, Clementine stayed right by her side.He helped her sit up properly, then slowly guided her out of bed. “Easy steps,” he said softly, wrapping one arm around her waist for support. Liliana’s legs felt like jelly at first, but she leaned on him and took small, careful steps across the room. They walked together to the garden just outside her window. The fresh air felt cool and sweet on her skin. Flowers bloomed everywhere, and birds sang softly overhead.“You’re doing great,” Clementine encouraged, smiling when she managed a few steps on her own. They sat on a stone bench under a shady tree. Clementine poured her a cup of warm herbal tea from a tray a servant brought. “Drink slowly. It will help you feel stronger.”Liliana sipped the tea, the warmth spreading through her chest. “Thank you, Clementine. You’ve been taking care of me this whole time.”He blushed a little but shook his head. “Of course I have. You’re my mate. I’m not goin
Somewhere in a neutral territory..Paloma didn’t waste time after leaving the Blacklore mansion.She arranged a discreet meeting with one of the High Council elders, Elder Varyn, a powerful but aging wolf who had long been under the Blacklores’ subtle influence. The location was a se
The journey back from Redridge felt lighter than the trip there. Matthias carried Liliana in his strong arms for most of the way, her small head resting on his shoulder as the sun dipped lower in the sky. Shaina walked close beside them, occasionally brushing her hand against her husband’s a
Days had passed since the chaotic birthday celebration, and a fragile but determined peace had settled over the Redborne mansion. Liliana had finally decided it was time. She could no longer hide the full scope of her plans from her parents.So, one clear morning, the family set out toge
Paloma didn’t go back to Ferdinand’s study that night.Instead, she walked straight to the guest wing where the five alphas had been taken for “maintenance.” Her cheek still stung from Ferdinand’s slap, but the pain only fueled the cold, vengeful fire burning in her chest. "Useless
