Hayden's POV Two weeks ago “Fuck!” I slammed my hand on the table. “I must have underestimated that crazy wench” I snarled. My jaw was tight. Alex and Lucius stood frozen in front of me, eyes lowered like they were afraid my glare might set them on fire. I picked up the file on the desk and flipped it open for the umpteenth time. “I’ll kill that bitch with my bare hands,” I growled, teeth clenched. That bloody bastard of Verdant Moon Pack, Derek, is about to hijack a long time contract I've been working on. I've spent so much to get this. He's looking for every means to get back at me. “How the hell did he pull this off?” I snapped. “Who’s backing him? I want names, Alex. And I want everything relevant and irrelevant. I don’t care. I want to know who he shook hands with and what they had for breakfast. Dig until there’s nothing left to dig.” They both nodded and hurried out. I stayed rooted, my fingers flying over the laptop, pulling every thread I could find. I wasn’t going t

Abby's POV The blonde woman from the wedding, the one who crashed it, had just walked with maids carrying her oversized luggage.I stood there, frozen. What is happening?Then Hayden stepped in. His expression was unreadable. This could only mean one thing...the pregnancy is for Hayden.But then, is he marrying her too? My head was about to burst with questions.I shouldn't care. I'm only Hayden's wife on paper. Just a business arrangement.“She’s staying with us for now,” Hayden’s voice cut through my thoughts.I looked up. He wasn’t even looking at me. He had already walked off to the kitchen. How can he be so cruel? I wanted to bite him, punch him, scream at him for making me serve time in the servants’ quarters. But that would’ve been a death wish. So, I kept quiet.The woman smiled warmly at me unlike Mabel, Hayden’s girlfriend. This man is good with women. I hissed under my breath.“Thanks for having me. My name is Valentina Hartman,” she said, stretching out her hand.“You’re

Abby's POVValentina, Maggie, and Beta Alex were in my room now, rifling through every corner like wolves on a scent. They’d been at it for a while, and still, nothing.I stood stiffly by the door, my arms crossed, heart pounding. Every second that passed without a word felt like a hundred lashes against my pride.They turned over my drawers, lifted my bed, even shook out my clothes from the closet. Still nothing.I was running out of patience. I wanted to pounce on Valentina, to tear her apart for the humiliation she had dragged me into right now, but I couldn’t. She wasn’t just some girl throwing a tantrum. She was a gamma. I saw her title, engraved on an award in her room earlier. She was powerful. And has a rank respected in the werewolf kingdom.And me? I was just…me. The wolfless girl.“Can we go now?” Alex’s voice finally broke the tense silence, bored and exasperated.Valentina looked annoyed, her arms folded. “Let's search more.”They were about to give up when Maggie suddenl

Abby's POV “Ma’am,” she said politely but with urgency, “Miss Valentina asked that you report to her room the moment you returned from the hospital.”“Valentina? For what? I’m not ready for that,” I muttered, turning to Maggie.She leaned in and whispered, reminding me of the punishment, that I had no choice but to obey.I clenched my jaw. “Okay,” I said to the maid.Dragging myself up the stairs, I forced my aching body toward Valentina’s room.She was sitting on the couch in her room, lounging in a silk robe with a glass of wine in her hand.“Welcome weak and wolfless wife.” She said with a triumph in her smile. I balled my fists at my sides. “You put the gold set in my room, didn’t you?” I asked, my voice low.Her expression shifted. “And if I did, what would you do about it? No one will ever believe you.”My head snapped slightly at her words. “I never thought you would stoop so low to doing that”She grinned and then hardened her face “How can a wolfless person talk to me anyho

Abby POVI quickly said goodbye to Freya, ended the call, and turned to face the person.“Well done, Mrs. Roche. I’m Elder Leo,” the elderly, white-haired man in his sixties said. “I’ll be guiding you through your Luna duties. I guess we're meeting for the first time.”I nodded. With the little time I’ve spent here, I doubt I’ve met all of Hayden’s pack members, and I don’t think they’ve all seen me either. Even when I was made to kneel in public, I heard only about sixty percent attended. Most were away on duties, some at work, children to school. His pack is the largest in this region and well-known.It’s not like I don’t understand why Father chose to ally with him of all people, but it shouldn’t have been me. Hayden is influential and ruthless in his dealings. Father could have at least asked for my opinion. Asked if I wanted this or not. I had plans for my life… even if I’m wolfless.But to be fair, Hayden takes good care of his pack. One thing I know for sure is that, he’s deepl
