All Chapters of Her thirst for vengeance: Chapter 941 - Chapter 950

Anna's povChris stood in the narrow doorway of my tiny room, with his dark eyes glued to my face.The arrogance that had been on his face just a second ago was completely gone. His breath was warm on my skin, and the intense heat of his chest pressed right against my palms. He suddenly tilted his head slightly, with his eyes dropping down to my lips.Then slowly, Chris leaned in closer. He took a deep, shuddering breath, inhaling my scent deeply, just like he used to do when we were mates, back when he still loved me.But at that memory, a sudden jolt of pure panic shot through my veins."Get off me!" I gasped.I put my hands against his chest and shoved him away with every single ounce of strength I had.Chris stumbled back a step into the hallway, his boots catching on the floorboards. I quickly backed away until the small wooden desk hit the back of my legs. My chest was heaving, my heart hammering like a trapped bird against my ribs."What is wrong with you?" I demanded, my voic

Anna's povtook another slow, deliberate sip of my water, letting the heavy silence stretch across the table. Lily was practically vibrating with rage beside Chris, her fingernails still digging into the linen tablecloth, but I didn't give her a second glance."Business," I repeated, setting the glass down. "Good. Because I didn't come back to play house."Chris leaned forward, resting his thick forearms against the edge of the mahogany table. The hard, commanding Alpha presence he usually wore was there, but beneath it, I could see the faint shadows of exhaustion dark under his amber eyes."The attacks aren't random anymore, Anna," Chris said, his voice dropping into a low, serious tone. "Over the last three months, rogue packs have been hitting our outer supply lines with terrifying precision. Every time we shift a patrol route, they hit the secondary line forty-eight hours later. We're losing warriors, and the southern border is practically crumbling.""Because your patrol formatio

Anna’s povI was basically yelling at Chris now. "Sarah barely smiles anymore, Chris," I said, my voice cracking as the anger turned into raw, aching heartbreak. "You are her father! How can you stand by and watch Lily strip away everything that made Sarah special? How can you let her isolate our child?"Chris stood completely still. He stared down at me, looking at the pure pain in my steel eyes.I prepared myself for him to fight back. I expected him to defend Lily, to shout at me, to tell me I had no rights here because I was banished. I braced my body, ready to scream at him, ready to fight with everything I had.Instead, Chris let out a long, shuddering breath.The harsh, arrogant mask on his face completely crumbled. He looked tired, older, and deeply regretful."You're right," Chris said softly.I blinked, completely stunned. My brain froze. "What?""You're right, Anna," Chris repeated, his voice quiet and heavy with emotion. "I've been so focused on the war, on the borders, on

Author’s note; just checking in. Please if you are still reading, drop a comment. I want to know if I should finish this book, or drop it.Anna’s povChris stood pinned against the wall, his chest rising and falling heavily as my fingers stayed dug into his shirt collar. Tears were still filling my eyes, but I was burning with pure, unadulterated fury."Answer me, Chris!" I screamed, my voice shaking the hallway. "What did she do to our daughter?!"Chris didn't push my hands away. He didn't raise his voice. He just looked down at me, his dark amber eyes filled with a raw, painful shadow."I didn't know it was this bad, Anna," Chris said softly, his voice trembling slightly.I blinked, taking a small step back, though my hands dropped slowly from his shirt. "What?"Chris let out a long, shuddering breath, running a hand over his tired face. He leaned his head back against the stone wall, looking up at the ceiling."Why do you think I blackmailed you to come back?" Chris asked quiet, h

Chris’s pov In a split second, I moved across the room like a blur. I grabbed Lily by the throat, slamming her hard against the stone wall beside my desk. The force of the impact rattled the picture frames on the wall. "Chris!" Lily gasped, her pale green eyes stretching wide with sudden, absolute terror as my hands tightened around her neck. My dark amber eyes flared with lethal, blinding Alpha aura. My fangs elongated, and my chest heaved with wild, furious growls. The air in the office turned suffocatingly heavy, crushed under the weight of my rage. "Listen to me very carefully, Lily," I snarled, my voice dropping into a terrifying, guttural register right against her ear. "You can complain about Anna. You can complain about the throne. You can complain about the house staff. But if you *ever* speak Sarah’s name like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out with my bare hands." Lily gasped for air, her hands clutching at my wrist, her knees trembling beneath her.
