XADENCeleste grabbed the papers and, in a fit of frustration, tore them apart, scattering the pieces across the floor.My temper snapped. I had tried to be civil about this. I wanted this to happen quickly, quietly, and without any unnecessary conflict. But it was clear now— this wasn't going to be easy. Celeste was going to fight me every step of the way.I clenched my fists, trying to rein in my anger. “Fine,” I said coldly. “You want to drag this out? Fine. But I’m taking this to the council. They’ll decide, and we both know how that’ll go.”I pulled out my phone and called my lawyer— my friend, Marcus. As soon as he picked up, I gave him the rundown.“Celeste refused to sign the papers,” I told him, pacing around the room while Celeste glared at me, all both frothing from the mouth.“Nothing new.” He sighed.“Yeah, we’ll have to go to the council. Meet me tomorrow. We’ll get this settled.”Marcus agreed, and I hung up the phone. I didn’t even look at Celeste as I left the house,

SORAYASchool. Just like that. Again.So I was supposed to pick up from where I’d left off.But two years had literally gone by already. How could I catch up? And would I even be able to keep up? I sighed, wondering why Xaden hadn’t just suggested I get a job instead— not that I even had much to offer with my limited experience. I sighed frustratedly, my heart beating wildly and my body feeling a tad clammy.He'd mentioned that my scholarship was still available, that he'd ensured it had been kept so— He must’ve done a background check on me when I ‘suddenly disappeared’. The thought made my stomach churn. Had he always known he’d find me? Had this just been a part of his plan all along?And Kaylee... It was almost like tearing away a part of me and leaving it behind. I knew he was her father and practically her lapdog as a result but I just couldn't shake off the feeling. I'd been Kaylee's only option for so long, taking me out of any of her equations just seemed so… unnatural.I kne

SORAYAI had only been back for a short while, and all I really wanted was for things to remain peaceful. The one thing I'd dreaded since the day I arrived was running into Celeste— with her icy presence and the fakest perfect smile ever. I hoped to avoid it at all costs. I’d also hoped she'd stay far away— preferably from me and everywhere else I might be, especially at school, but my worst fear since returning to the pack materialized.In truth, the day had started out well enough. I blended in with the sea of students almost perfectly just the way I’d hoped I would— the way I always tried to. I slipped through the hallways unnoticed and no one even paid me any real attention, which was a huge relief. Classes went smoothly, and for a brief moment, I’d actually felt like I could pull it all off. I made it through the first class without a hitch, and the sense of relief was overwhelming. I might have even smiled. I should have known that the peace would be short-lived. That sooner

SORAYAShe was not close to getting done. She was going to stip me with her words now.“She found her way two years ago into my husband's bed.” She swallowed as though this was difficult for her. Students were already gasping.“Yes, she slept with your Alpha— my husband.” Her words were sharp, dripping with disdain.The furious whispers were like a roaring flood in my ears and I almost didn't realise as my mouth fell open, every part of my body going numb. No..“Then, she disappeared without a trace. Abandoning the pack and leaving her studies. I was devastated when I found out but I thought her leaving was for the best. I'd thought it was over, but now she’s back. With the audacity to walk these halls like one of you…” She sniffled dramatically, dabbing at eyes— playing out the part of the heartbroken wife flawlessly and drawing out the compassion and sympathy of the audience. "...to continue her education here as if nothing happened.” Was that an actual tear? Goddess, she was good.

XADENI spent almost the whole day with Kaylee, and everything had gone well enough— pleasantly even. We played with her toys, went for a walk, and even shared some snacks and she remained her cheerful, playful self all through— but the longer the day wore on, the more I felt something was off. Soraya hadn’t come home. At first, I told myself she might just be caught up with something at school, but as the hours passed, worry settled in. Soraya wasn’t the type of mother to abandon her child— not for an entire day, and certainly not without a word.I fed Kaylee as Soraya had instructed through the maid I’d hired and who'd resumed just that morning, but my thoughts were elsewhere— my mind distracted by the unease of Soraya's absence. Something didn't sit right. The more I paced the length of the living room, the more I was convinced. I checked my phone every few minutes. There were no messages from her, no missed calls— not even to check up on Kaylee. It was odd.My instincts kept scr

XADENThe woman was still talking, but I didn’t bother responding to her judgment. I didn’t care. I marched to my car, rage boiling beneath the surface. The drive to the home I used to share with Celeste was a blur of red— anger clouding my thoughts, rage building with every second that passed.The second I stepped through the front door and saw Celeste standing in the hallway, my patience and all my restraint snapped. I stormed toward her, grabbing her arm roughly, my nails digging into her skin. She didn’t even flinch— just looked at me with that smug, satisfied expression.“You did this,” I growled. No one else knew about Soraya. “This could’ve ended peacefully, but you just had to open your big fucking mouth and ruin everything.”“I see you've gotten my little… surprise,” she purred, no ounce of remorse evident. But of course. She was the devil herself.She turned around and walked into the living area, heading for the bar. I followed her.“For fuck’s sake, Celeste! What is wrong

SORAYAI was holding on to hope. Xaden was my hope. But only if he cares enough to look for me.Looking around the dark room made me feel nauseous. Was I going to die? No, Soraya get that thought out of your head. Remember who you are. You're Alpha Xaden's mate, and you know how powerful he is. I was desperate, scraping at positive thoughts to calm myself. "You have no idea who you're dealing with." I managed to speak, even if the lump in my throat made me feel like I couldn't. "Xaden would have your head for this." Maybe if I scare him....First, it was a simple cackle. Then it developed into an obvious laughter of mockery. I was irritated, and my fear was increasing by the minute. Where was Xaden? Get it together, Soraya. I kept trying to strengthen myself with the words in my head, but my body had betrayed me. I was shaking all over. "Am I supposed to be afraid of you?" He came closer to me and pointed his finger towards my eye. He stank of wet grass and mud, and a hint of sewag

SORAYA"Please don't hurt me. What do you want from me?" I was sobbing uncontrollably. I pushed myself backward till I hit the wall, and I realized that it would take a miracle for me to escape. I looked at the middle-aged man with tears in my eyes, and I couldn't still place where I had seen him in my head. "Stop trying to look for a way out. You're stuck with me." His voice was the kind that promised death. Slow and painful, like with a poison. He had that anger behind his eyes, but he masked it perfectly with a no-emotion look. His voice made me feel cold within, and I could swear goosebumps were appearing all over. He was going to hurt me, in a way I won't forget. He won't stop looking at me too, his eyes following my breathing and every movement. "Please." I could only beg him at that point. I was completely powerless. I had given up on reaching Xaden and decided that agreeing with my captor might be the only solution. He walked towards me slowly and his demeanor had changed t

XADENI couldn't think straight. My hands were trembling and I was boiling all over with rage. I looked at Kaylee sleeping soundly in her bed and I felt heat come up into my chest even more. She had cried a little asking for her mother and somehow I managed to put her to sleep. Celeste.So this was what having an arch-enemy felt like. I wanted to tear her into pieces and burn every piece till it was dust. I never imagined she'd go this far for a lie. She was just an obsessed freak and a sadist. I hated myself for not realizing it sooner. I couldn't get Soraya's voice out of my head. If Celeste had hurt her, then the council meeting wouldn't be necessary. I was going to kill her myself. I put a call through to one of my workers and asked her to watch Kaylee. I had to bring her mother back. Celeste was so desperate and stupid. I should have known this was going to get out of hand. My mind kept racing with thoughts on what I overheard on the phone. My grip tightened on the steering wh

XADENThe day was finally here. I had been waiting for most of my life for this. This assurance that I'm going to be with the right person. This safety and comfort of true love, granted to us by the moon goddess. This joy of finding one's forever partner and choosing to honor what one had been given. The day I defend the love of my life.A part of me wished she was here to see it. For three years I had searched for her and for two years I was starved because of her. I regretted ever having anything to do with Celeste. Soraya and I clicked at once and we had a child! A child! And yet I didn't know anything about it. All because of this stupid marriage pact.I watched as my father-in-law was dragged into the room. I gave Dax a warning look to treat him kindly now because these elders could misread things. There shall be no mistakes today. The divorce was happening, and that was final. I glanced at Celeste and I noticed she was shocked. It was obvious she didn't have a clue as to what I
