Ethan.

I could feel the rage simmering inside of me, an angry storm I couldn’t escape. It had been building for days, maybe even weeks—this deep, gnawing frustration that Aurora had played with my emotions and pushed me into a corner. She had chosen her game, and now I was going to play by her rules. I didn’t care anymore about the little nuances or the games she liked to play. If this was what she wanted, I would indulge her, but I would do it on my own terms.

I gritted my teeth as I stood there, eyes narrowed, my mind racing through the consequences of my decisions. But then, something shifted within me, and I knew what I had to do next.

I called for Ivan.

Within moments, there she was, standing in the doorway of my study, looking like a picture of innocence. The sweet, doe-eyed girl with all the right moves. She stepped inside, her eyes shining as she smiled at me, her confidence already radiating. It was almost laughable how quickly she shifted her mood from timid to overtly flirt

    Ivan.The cane struck my back again and a fresh, hot pain ripped through me. I clenched my teeth so hard they ached. Shit. It hurt like hell. The second lash hadn’t even healed before the third came — sharper, deeper, tearing through skin. I couldn’t hold it in; a ragged moan escaped me. Warm moisture trailed from my nostril to my upper lip as sweat and grime plastered to my skin. I curled inward on the cold ground, trying to shield myself from the torment. A guard seized a handful of my hair and hauled me upright to face more punishment; a flash of red streaked across my vision. I hated every piece of this. None of it would be happening if I hadn’t been foolish enough to fall for kaiser again. If I hadn’t been such a damn fool.I had convinced myself I was close to what I’d wanted since I was a teen — the luna’s place, the steady, certain rise I’d dreamed of. But the truth hit me later: nothing was handed out on a silver plate. I clung to hope like a lifeline, desperate for a chance

  • Wanted by my ex mate    Chapter 83

    Ivan.I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that kaiser had let me go — after I’d tried to kill him in his own apartment. That mercy, if that's what it was, felt like a mistake I intended to correct. I was convinced that returning would make him regret his decision. So I drove straight to his palace, determined to settle things once and for all.When I reached the palace parking lot I parked and made my way toward the conference room where I was certain I'd find him. Every muscle in my body ached; every step felt as if I were walking on a blade. Nearing the conference hall, laughter and celebratory noise washed over me. Confusion carved itself into my face; curiosity lit a fuse inside me. What possibly could they be celebrating at this time of year? The moon festival wasn't due yet. If anyone here was in the know about celebrations, it was me.The noise swelled with every step, matching the thunder of my pulse. Something felt off — kaiser must be up to something. There was no

    Ivan“How could you even think you could do this to me?”The sharp sting on my palm was immediate as I slapped him, the sound loud in the tense room. His eyes widened in shock, mirroring the disbelief I felt inside. Suddenly, the space between us felt suffocating, the silence heavy and unbearable. Kaiser’s quietness only fueled the storm of anger building inside me.“We had an agreement! You must be out of your mind if you think you can just use me again!”I didn’t mean to yell, but the truth hit me harder with each passing day — he had taken advantage of me once more. I had helped him get the investigation team on the case, only for him to ignore his end of the deal. The betrayal stung worse than I expected. I had someone like him under my control, yet here I was, feeling like nothing more than a pawn. How could I have been so blind? So foolish to trust someone I knew was toxic from the start? He was a dead end, and yet I’d let ambition cloud my judgment again.“What’s going on here?

    AuroraIt wasn’t warm upstairs, but the moment Alpha Ethan pulled off his shirt, the chill in the air faded from my mind. I stood in front of him, silently watching as he undressed, each motion deliberate and unhurried. Soon, he stood in nothing but his boxers. The moonlight spilled in through the window, highlighting every sculpted line of his chest and shoulders, casting shadows that made him look both ethereal and powerful.His tousled hair caught glimmers of that same silver light, and in that moment, I imagined his wolf was fierce, untamed, yet craving something only I could give. His presence felt raw and magnetic, something ancient and unspoken thrumming between us.He looked at me, his eyes heavy with longing, and then stepped forward. Without hesitation, he wrapped me in his arms, his kiss both gentle and overwhelming. There was so much behind it, weeks of yearning, truths finally exposed, and a silent hope that maybe, just maybe, this was a new beginning.We moved to the bed

    Alpha EthanI had been intending to visit Aurora that evening. The silence from her end had left me restless, and though my memory hadn’t returned, something deep within me remained tethered to her. But Meghan would never have allowed it. Her presence clung to me like an obligation I couldn’t shake. Still, when I saw Aurora standing quietly beneath the edge of my deck, her posture uncertain, her beauty stark in the dim light, it knocked the air out of me. My pulse kicked up, my chest tightened.Without a word, I gestured for her to come up the stairs and into the living room. Relief rolled through me like a wave, I hadn’t expected to see her, but now that she was here, I wanted nothing more than to hear her voice and maybe find some sense of peace.“Would you like a drink?” I offered.She slid her hands into the pockets of her jeans. “No, I don’t want to take too much of your time.”I motioned toward the stools facing the breakfast bar. She sat, nervously threading her fingers togethe

    AuroraThere were just four weeks left until my due date, and I had already started setting aside money, determined to be prepared for everything the baby and I would need. I had spoken to Elizabeth about her own experiences, and the way she lost everything had opened my eyes. I’d offered her a stake in the company, and although my heart was in the right place, I still hadn’t figured out how to make that offer real. The investigation was dragging on longer than expected, too long. They hadn’t yet gathered enough evidence to remove Kaiser from the company.The following morning, I arrived at the grocery store right on schedule for my shift. The sunlight filtered down through the treetops, painting golden streaks across the pavement. It felt like, for once, the universe and I were on the same page.As I stepped through the door, one of the other girls working there practically bounced off the counter to greet me. “Did you hear the news?”I frowned, setting my bag beneath the counter and
