"It's been seven years since I left this town, and it seems like nothing has changed since I left.""Ana! You look beautiful, it's been so long since I last saw you, you ungrateful girl.""Likewise, Mrs. Morel. Still as beautiful as ever. And where's my nephew?""Today is his sixth birthday, his welcome to the pack, his initiation. So Henry took him while I picked you up. How was the trip?""Tiring. You know how they get when they're irritated. I wanted to throw them out of the plane, but they told me I couldn't open the hatch. So here we are, Clara, without a scratch.""Nobody told you to bring us along. We were fine in London, Mother. I don't know why we're in this little town.""Look at you. Don't you want to see your aunt? My town is so awful that you can't even visit me.""I endure this trip for you, Aunt. Where's Rommel? I want to see him.""We'll see him later. Let's go inside, and Doménica, where is she?""Don't worry, Clara. Take Estela inside. I don't want her to catch a col

Naomi shuddered at Andrews' words. She knew he had summoned her out of vengeance, but the way he treated her as if she had never meant anything to him was disheartening. Despite it all, Naomi couldn't help but feel a strong attraction to Andrews' wealth. Even in these circumstances, she couldn't forget her ambition."What do you want me to do?" Naomi asked, her voice soft, trying to appease Andrews' anger. "I'll do anything you ask; I won't spare any effort if it helps me get out of this wretched place.""You should know very well, Naomi. I want you to become an honorable beta and serve me faithfully. That's the only way you can redeem yourself. Now, more than ever, I need to confirm something, and you're the only one who can help me," Andrews replied.Naomi fell silent for a moment, considering Andrews' offer. She knew that becoming a... "spy" for the alpha was no game, and her life would be in danger. However, it was her lifeline to get out of this mess."You must tell me what you n

As we walked, Naomi continued trembling by my side. I knew she had joined her mother with the intention of betraying me. I had been visiting other wolves who wanted to take control of our territory when I discovered the web of lies, she had spun for me, and I felt like the biggest fool that had ever existed. But it was nothing I couldn't handle. After all, I was the Alpha, the leader of our pack, and I was determined to protect my own at any cost. Unfortunately, at that time, I was immature, and I committed a heinous act that I now regret."Why did you do it, Naomi?" I asked, knowing she knew exactly what I was referring to.She swallowed hard before responding. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about, Alpha...""Don't lie to me, Naomi," I said in a low voice, tightening my grip on her arm.She cried out in pain, and her eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."I kept walking, my mind submerged in memories of the past. I remembered how Naomi used to be my beloved unt

 Upon hearing this, Ana's heart raced. She had tried to keep her relationship with the Alpha a secret for so long, but now everything was about to explode. She cursed herself for allowing Estela to find out everything. She knew she couldn't keep the situation under control for much longer. Estela was so perceptive that just by seeing him, she knew who he really was. While Ana tried to gather her thoughts, Doménica decided to talk to Estela. She knew it was the only way to stop her threats of leaving with the truth. She made her way to Estela's room, feeling a mix of nervousness and determination. Upon arriving, Doménica found Estela sitting on the bed, arms crossed, and disapproval written all over her face. Doménica approached cautiously. "I thought you were already gone with the Alpha?" "I was about to, but I got scared. What if he doesn't

Seeing her cold gaze and hearing her words lacking warmth assured me that she was no longer the same Anastasia I had known when I investigated her. Now she was strong, resistant to being dominated, and arrogant. It was her way of challenging me at every possible moment. "I still don't understand your insistence on knowing about my life in these past years. It's simple—I moved on with my life, just as you did with yours. By the way, where is Naomi and her son? I haven't seen them." "Ana, I think you're mistaken about something. I never married Naomi, nor did I start a life with her or the child who wasn't mine." Saying these words in front of her wasn't easy. It made me look like a fool and forced me to admit my mistake. But I had to start somewhere for her to believe me. "I'm sorry to hear that from you, Alpha, but as you can see, I did rebuild my life, and my daughters are the proof."&
