41. Marry Me

NATALIA DE LUCA…….For a moment, I thought I misheard him.The café hummed around us, cups clinking, voices rising and falling but all I heard was his voice, low and steady, dropping a bomb between us.“Marry me.”My fingers froze around my coffee cup. My heart gave a sharp, traitorous lurch in my chest. I hadn’t expected him to move this fast. Teasing him at the banquet, staging a “chance” encounter outside the boutique, orchestrating today’s little blind date, all of it was meant to plant seeds, to stir curiosity, to make him chase.But Knox Davenport didn’t chase like other men. He devoured.I stared at him, letting the silence stretch, watching the way he leaned forward, eyes locked on me like he’d already made up his mind. That intensity in his eyes, it was dangerous. Addictive.I forced a laugh, soft and disbelieving. “You can’t be serious.”He didn’t blink. “Do I look like I’m joking?”God, the way he said it, like he could tear the world apart just to hand me the pieces. For

42. Knight In Shining Armor

NATALIA DE LUCA…..I walked into my sister Ashley’s room, my heels clicking softly against the marble floor. She had called me, saying she wanted to talk. My gut told me it wouldn’t be anything good, but still I came.“What do you want from me?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. Ashley was sitting on her wheelchair.Her lips curved into a faint smile, her pale face tilted up toward me. “I know you are insecure… thinking there’s something between me and Ethan. But trust me, he just cares about me. In his heart, it’s only you.”I stared at her coldly. “There is no one in this room except you and me so drop your acting.”And then, Ashley laughed. A dark, chilling laugh that slithered into my bones.“You’re right,” she said, eyes glittering with venom. “I am acting. I love Ethan. And I’ll snatch him from you. Just like I’ll snatch everything you love dearly. Because after what I went through, after becoming like this…” she gestured to her legs, “You don’t deserve to be happy afte

43. Savior or Jailer!

NATALIA DE LUCA…..The first thing I felt was pain. Excruciating pain in my back. My lashes fluttered open, and for a moment I didn’t recognize the walls in front of me, white, smooth, unfamiliar. Not home. Not prison.Where am I?My heart stuttered, panic clawing its way into my chest. I was lying on my back. I sat up with a jerk, breath catching in my throat, eyes darting across the room. Clean walls, expensive furnishings, an armchair tucked neatly by the window. Everything spoke of wealth, of order, yet nothing I had ever seen before.Where am I?I clutched the blanket tighter around me, every muscle wound tight as a bowstring. My ears strained at the faintest sound. Then…The door clicked open.My head snapped toward it, every nerve braced for the worst.And then he walked in.Knox Davenport.He carried a glass jug of water in his hand, casual as if he owned not just this house but the air itself. His dark hair was damp, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and when his eyes landed on me

44. Enemy's Enemy, Friends

VAUGHN COLLINS….I should have been celebrating Alpha Vellora’s humiliation. Seeing Ariella flaunt her claim on Zach in front of the whole damn pack, in front of me, should have been enough to make me laugh at her arrogance. But instead, it clawed at me. Every smile she gave him, every little gesture of hers screamed victory — her victory, my loss.She was supposed to be mine.She was supposed to crawl back to me after I rejected her, ruined her. She was supposed to learn that she couldn’t live without me. Instead, she’d married Zach — my stepbrother, my rival, the man my father was grooming to take everything from me. She hadn’t just chosen him. She’d chosen to humiliate me, to spit in my face in front of the world.No. That couldn’t stand.From my seat in the shadows of my study, I swirled the glass of whiskey in my hand, the amber liquid catching the lamplight. Mom sat across from me, her fingers drumming the armrest, her expression sharp and cold.“You let her humiliate you tonigh

45. Attack

ARIELLA…..For the first time since I came to the Green Jade Pack, I had allowed myself a little indulgence. A dress, nothing warlike, nothing sharp-edged, just silk and shimmer for my birthday banquet next weekend. A birthday I had actually decided to celebrate, not hide from. I remember smiling as I folded the bag on my lap, thinking of Zach’s expression when he saw me in it.That smile died the moment our car lurched and coughed to a dead stop.We were near the border. Too near. I was coming back from the city after buying a dress for myself. The road stretched into shadows where trees bent inward like watching soldiers, and the silence was wrong. My skin prickled.The driver, a man Zach had assigned, or so I thought cursed under his breath, then turned to me with a stiff expression. “Stay inside, Luna. I’ll check.”Something in his tone set my nerves on edge, but I nodded and stayed seated, fingers tight on the dress bag as if it could anchor me. I watched him step out, lift the h

46. The Price Of Negligence

ZACH WINCHESTER……I stepped out of the hospital doors, the night air cool against my skin, trying to ease the weight of endless responsibilities pressing on my shoulders. Another elder had been stabilized. Another patrol was assigned. Another problem solved. For a moment, I allowed myself a single breath of relief.Then I froze.The sound of feet pounding against the pavement made me turn and my world shattered.A guy was running full tilt toward the entrance, his shirt drenched in blood, his arms full… no, carrying someone.My heart stopped.Ariella.Her head lolled against his chest, her hair matted with blood, her skin pale as snow under the moonlight. Her arms hung limp, her body torn with bite marks, shredded like she’d been dragged through hell.“No… no, no, no!” I sprinted to them, my chest constricting, my wolf howling in my veins so violently I almost lost control.“Who are you? And what happened to Ariella?” I asked him. His eyes burned as he stormed past me, his voice a sn

47. Threat

ARIELLA DAVENPORT…..“You haven't told anyone at home about the attack, did you?” I asked Ryder who was still sulking in a corner because I chose Zach over him.“No, I still haven't told them about it yet. But now I think I should tell them to know how wrong was your father's decision when he chose Zach as your partner. I don't blame you. But I do blame your father.” I chuckled at his words."Thanks bro. I don't want to worry them.” Ryder glared at me."You will regret your decision in the future. Mark my words. You still have a chance. Come with me. I'm sure, whoever set that trap for you, will again attack you. I'm telling you for your own good. Don't be stupid and come with me. I'm not taking you away forever, you can come back once he catches the real culprit.” He tried to convince me."I can't leave my husband behind in danger, Ryder. They targeted me because I'm the only weakness of Zach Winchester. They know they can't kill him easily because of his powerful wolf. But they can

48. Mrs. Davenport

NATALIA….The pen in my hand felt heavier than any whip, heavier than every lash my father had left on my back.City Hall was not romantic—white walls, clipped voices, cold signatures on paper. There was no dress, no flowers, no music. Just me, Knox Davenport, and the steel weight of the choice I had made.“Sign here,” the clerk said, pointing.I glanced at Knox. He looked calm, composed, almost bored, like this was just another acquisition, another deal. But I caught the flicker in his eyes, the triumph he didn’t bother to hide from me.I pressed the pen down. Ink flowed. My name curved across the line in black. And with it, a part of my old self was buried.His hand followed, his signature bold, precise. He didn’t even hesitate.The clerk smiled blandly. “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport.”The words echoed in my head like thunder. Mrs. Davenport. My jaw tightened, but I smiled politely, because what else could I do?When we stepped out into the sunlight, Knox held the thin pa

49. His lover

NATALIA DE LUCA…..I sat down at the table, though my appetite had all but vanished. My eyes kept straying toward the corner where Knox and Damon stood, their heads bowed close, their postures rigid. Damon’s jaw was clenched tight, his hands moving in sharp gestures, while Knox remained steady, unmoved, as if bracing against a storm.The sister slid into the seat opposite me, crossing her legs gracefully, though the tension in her eyes gave her away.“You know,” she said lightly, though there was an edge to every syllable, “Knox never brings women here. This place is… special. For him, for us. It’s strange seeing someone new at his side.”Her words were meant to sting, but I only smiled faintly, refusing to give her satisfaction. “Then I suppose today must be special for both of us.”Her painted lips curved, but her eyes betrayed her, flashing with irritation. She leaned in closer, lowering her voice. “You mustn’t get too comfortable. Knox… he’s not the type to keep anyone around for

50. New Home

NATALIA DE LUCA….The elevator opened with a soft chime, and the first thing I noticed was silence. Not the hollow silence of my father’s house, but something deeper, steadier as if the walls themselves obeyed Knox Davenport.Knox opened the door, and the sight of the penthouse made me gasp. There, in front of me was an extravagant suite. My eyes traveled around the spacious living room with fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows framed the city, glowing like embers beneath the night sky.A stunning balcony and a grand dining room. There are two bedrooms and one study room. This place was definitely too large for someone to live alone. The furnishings were modern, expensive, and deliberate. Nothing here was accidental.I stepped out slowly, my heels clicking on polished marble. “So this is where you live,” I murmured.Knox brushed past me, his suit jacket sliding off his shoulders as if even his clothing knew it didn’t belong anywhere but here. “One of the places,” he corrected. “This o
