Shattered Promises

(Audrey's POV)The air in the car was suffocatingly tense. Arthur’s words about wanting children only with me were still ringing in my ears. They didn't feel like a revelation or a promise — they felt like a cruel joke.I stared out of the window, trying to keep the tears from falling. The weight of everything between us was bearing down on me. My hands rested over my stomach instinctively — a desperate attempt to comfort myself.Then his phone rang. The sound cut through the thick silence between us. Before either of us could react, the car’s Bluetooth system connected, and a voice I deeply hated pierced the space.“Arthur? Where are you?”It was Victoria. Her whiny voice made my stomach churn with disgust.Arthur’s jaw tightened immediately. I watched as his grip on the steering wheel grew so tight that his knuckles turned white. He didn’t answer her right away, his eyes focused on the empty road ahead.“Arthur,” she pouted, her voice dripping with entitlement. “I need somethi

Breaking Facades

(Audrey's POV)Victoria sashayed into my office unannounced, wearing a smug expression that made my stomach churn. She had one hand resting protectively on her belly, emphasizing her swollen state as if it awarded her some kind of badge of honor."Audrey," she greeted, her voice honeyed with a false sweetness that grated against my nerves. There was never a pretense of civility between us, so I didn’t bother standing up from my desk. I sat there, arms crossed, watching her with feigned indifference."Victoria," I replied casually, pretending to be more engrossed in my paperwork than her unwelcome presence.She took a seat across from me without waiting for an invitation, delicately stroking her stomach like an actress on a stage. Her actions screamed theatrics.“I think it’s time we stopped wasting each other’s time,” she began, lips curling into a predatory smile. “You should sever the mate bond with Arthur immediately. It’s not like he wants you anymore. Holding on is only makin

Tremors of Accusations

(Audrey's POV)I stirred awake on the small armchair next to Sarah's hospital bed, my neck protesting sharply at the awkward angle. The morning light streamed through the blinds, soft but insistent. Sarah, pale but alert, sat upright, poking half-heartedly at her breakfast tray. Her IV bag swayed slightly as the infusion continued, a stark reminder of how frail she looked compared to her usual fiery self."Morning, sleepyhead," Sarah croaked, her voice hoarse from all the alcohol that poisoned her system. She managed to find an impish smile despite her weakened state. "You look worse than me. Stay up all night planning pack sabotage?"I let out a half-laugh, half-sigh, stretching my sore limbs. "No, just making sure you didn’t choke in your sleep. Honestly, Sarah, what were you thinking? Drinking yourself into a hospital bed? You’re lucky I found out in time."She winced but shrugged it off. "Eh, Lucas will use it as some romantic ‘tragic martyr’ nonsense again. Maybe he’ll finally

Tangled Loyalties

(Audrey's POV)Victoria's voice rang through the phone like nails scraping over steel."You'll see, Audrey. Arthur is wasting his time protecting you. Your precious mate bond is hanging by a thread, and when it snaps, the only thing left will be me standing by his side!"I clenched my jaw, my grip on the phone tightening to the point of pain. Though her words cut deep, I forced myself not to react. I couldn't let her see how much her taunts got to me.Just then, Sarah came down the stairs, moving slower than usual after her ordeal of the past few days. Her sharp ears caught the tail-end of Victoria’s tirade. The transformation in Sarah was immediate. Her usual laid-back demeanor ignited into a fiery rage. Before I had the chance to stop her, she snatched the phone out of my hand."Listen here, you shameless robber!" Sarah's voice was practically a snarl. "Do you ever stop? First, you take her title, then you're after her mate. What’s next? Her car? Her home?!""Who is this?" Vict

Tensions Unleashed

(Audrey's POV)The pulsing bass of the Silver Moon Club seemed to echo the chaotic rhythm of my thoughts. Sarah’s determination to lift my spirits had brought us here, but I didn’t feel any lighter. If anything, the energy of the crowd pressed against me like an invisible weight.I needed a break. The restroom area promised a reprieve from the flashing lights and pounding music. As I made my way there, weaving through the throngs of wolves enjoying themselves, I couldn’t help but feel out of place. This wasn’t my scene.Rounding the corner into a quieter hallway, I saw him. Nathan Snowfang leaned casually against the wall near the restroom. His steel-blue eyes met mine, and a small, knowing smile curved on his lips.“Evening, Audrey,” he greeted. His voice was smooth, calm, in stark contrast to the chaos of the club behind me.“Nathan,” I replied, unable to hide my surprise. “What are you doing here?”He straightened, his grin widening slightly as he tucked his hands into his poc

Shadows of Resentment

(Audrey's POV)The VIP room was uncomfortably quiet except for the muted hum of the club outside. I leaned back against the wall, crossing my arms over my chest as if it could seal the growing ache enclosing my heart. Every moment in this dimly lit room only deepened the humiliation gnawing away inside me.Arthur’s words echoed in my head. His cold assurance that he would "handle it" as he made sure I’d stay hidden. As if I were a problem he needed to keep tucked away.Why does he always do this?I pressed my hands against my temples, squeezing my eyes shut. The question was one I’d asked myself over and over, especially lately. But this moment, being locked away while he dealt with Victoria, stung worse than before.Her voice carried through the door faintly, though I couldn’t make out the words. The fishing tone of hers was unmistakable. The lilting mockery, always edging close to triumph.And Arthur...I didn’t need to hear him to know he was placating her again. He was alway

Fractured Ties and Fragile Lives

(Sarah's POV)"Sarah, don’t go blowing up about it," Lucas warned over the phone, his voice careful and low. "You know these things tend to spiral. You want to make this worse?""Oh, it’s already worse!" I hissed back, pacing the living room. "Temporary? That’s a joke. You don’t just hand a title like ‘personal assistant’ over to someone like Victoria without an agenda!" My voice was rising, but the frustration was boiling over."Just don’t explode, okay? Protect Audrey first. That’s what matters."I bit down hard on the urge to throw something. "Yeah, protect Audrey. Something Arthur should be doing instead of babysitting Victoria!"“Look, just—keep her calm. Don’t tell her unless you’re sure she can handle it.”The creak of the stairs behind me cut Lucas off mid-sentence. I turned abruptly and my heart sank. Audrey was standing there, arms crossed tightly against her chest, her brows drawn down with suspicion."I’m sorry... what do I need to handle?" Her voice was as sharp as

Rifts Widen

(Audrey's POV)Victoria’s eyes glinted with something sinister as her gaze pinned me in place. It wasn’t just the satisfaction of spotting me here. No, it was the clear calculation, the spinning of webs that she had mastered all too well. The buzzing background noise of the medical center faded as she leaned closer to the gathered pack members, her voice sharp yet falsely sweet.“Well, would you look at that,” she began, loud enough for several heads to turn. “Audrey Winter, sneaking around the maternity wards. What’s the matter, Audrey? Finally decided to check if you’ve caught something—some disease from being so... loose with other wolves?”Her voice oozed venom beneath a mask of innocent curiosity, but her intention was as clear as a strike to the throat. She wanted every wolf within earshot to question my presence, to paint me as something less than deserving of my place here.My blood boiled, but years of navigating this pack’s politics stiffened my spine. I wouldn’t let her

Secrets and Confessions

(Arthur's POV)The air in the maternity wing carried an odd mix of sterile scents and emotions that felt too big for such a confined space. Despite the bustle of nurses and healers, I only had one thing on my mind as I stepped out from Dr. Isabella Rivers’ consultation room.Victoria was fine, her complications stable for now. But amidst the relief, something pricked at me. A sense that all wasn’t as it should be. A distinct scent had pierced through the chaos: lavender and sage. Audrey’s scent. Faint but distinctly hers. It was unmistakable.Why was she here? And more importantly, why hadn’t she told me?I strode down the hallway, ignoring Victoria’s idle chatter behind me about baby names. My steps quickened as I followed the trace of Audrey's scent like a hunter closing in on prey. The doors to another maternity unit slid open, and there she was, sharper than any fleeting thought.Audrey stood at the far right corner of the hallway, near an examination room. Her stance was tens

Severing Ties

(Audrey's POV)The Pack Council Office loomed before me, an imposing structure built from dark stone, its arches sweeping high into the cloudy sky. Rain fell softly, chilling the air, and yet, my focus stayed on the man walking beside me. Arthur.He held an umbrella over us without a word, his jaw tight, every step weighted. His usual commanding presence was muted, dulled by what he couldn't say aloud.I glanced at the umbrella briefly, my own hands tucked into my coat pockets. "You don’t have to baby me," I muttered, not unkindly. "I can walk in the rain."Arthur didn’t respond, his eyes fixed forward. His silence was a shield, but it also betrayed him. The bond between us might be fraying, yet these silences spoke volumes. His wolf, Logan, was restless under his skin—I could feel the flickers of unease through the connection we still shared. Nothing could hide the tangle of thoughts swirling in his head.By the time we reached the entrance of the office, the rain echoed faintly
