"Connecting to Family/Bloodline" aired every full moon night, sharp at 9 pm, from the Pack’s territory broadcast station. It streamed widely across all social media. The guest wolf in the latest run had shoved Lady Cassandra down the pack’s spiral cliff, stirring the air with heavy whispers. The scent of curiosity spread across pack lines even before the show aired. Another story, that of a youngling born of an abducted she-wolf trying to trace her mother’s whereabouts, tugged hard at hearts. This story had the blood of watchers pulsing with the need to know more. Even before it aired, the viewer count howled past every past episode, with everyone logging in from the three main social media on the web, trying so hard to watch it live. But Elena didn’t know any of this. By the sixth sunrise of the week, Elena crossed paths with Professor Gauis, the elder scholar of the Northern Pack, known for his calm nature and strong gaze. The professor took Elena deeper into the roots of

Someone sniffed out Elena’s micro howling scroll. Now, angry messages clawed at her screen.“Spawn of a rapist,” one read.“Trafficker’s pup,” another growled.The venom stung, but Elena didn’t flinch. Derrick was right. The pack of showbiz wolves would use this heat to stir chaos. She knew the show runners would twist the story, dragging her through the mud to boost the program’s numbers. Let them try. The more eyes on her, the faster she would strike. This was her hunt, and she was ready.After bathing, Elena dropped her phone on the night table and climbed into bed. She clicked the light off, letting darkness wash over her. But the silence was cut short. Her phone vibrated.She squinted at the screen. Lyra’s name flashed across it. A wave of unease swept over her.She placed the phone to her ear.“ Lyra …”“Elena, it’s me.” The voice wasn’t Lyra’s. It was Henry. His tone was tight, breath short. “It’s about Lyra … she’s been in an accident.”The air in Elena’s lungs turned cold. He

Marcus and Cassandra pivoted swiftly, ears trembling to the echo. "Elena!" " Miss Monroe!" Elena’s face looked pale as she locked her gaze on Drake. "Did you push Lyra?" Her words broke harshly. "Elena!" Cassandra's voice trembled as she rushed to explain, steadying Elena’s shaking arm. "Drake didn’t mean it. At that time Lyra forced him to look at that photo. Drake pushed her aside, gently, never knowing a car would emerge from the dark. He fought to pull her back, but the world had moved too fast. He even broke his arm trying!" Her words tumbled quickly, desperate to shield Drake. Elena’s mind locked tight, circling back to the one crack in Cassandra’s words. If not for your push, Lyra would still be safe from that car. Rage and grief surged Elena’s veins. With a cry, Elena tore free from Cassandra’s hold and moved forward. The slap reverberated through the hall. The blow twisted his head aside, heat flaring across his face, ears thundering as shock seized his chest

Dolphus’s deep eyes locked onto Richard. His aura pressed heavily on the room, making the air thick. Richard choked back the rising lump and lowered the tablet’s glow beneath his trembling hand. His shoulders tightened as he braced himself against the Dolphus’s pressure. “Sir,” Collins said, bowing slightly, “because of your bloodline, the Elders do not wish for you to have any more dealings with Elena. For years you’ve defied their orders for her, even lifting the Hamilton family when others demanded their fall. The chairman’s patience matters. If you continue to reject the mate-bond arrangement they set for you, your claim to lead the Farringtons' company will face obstacles.” Dolphus said nothing. Richard kept his eyes low, but his thoughts churned. Dolphus had shielded Elena countless times without her ever knowing. The pressure he bore for her sake never left his lips. If Elena were to join the Hamilton bloodline, she could one day be his strongest ally. But she didn’t kn

“It hurts!” Drake growled softly, though a playful smile curled his lips. His voice carried that teasing tone only he used with Cassandra. “When you come to see me, I’ll stop feeling pain. Your presence heals me.”Cassandra let out a light laugh, her chest shaking as the sound of his voice. “It seems better then! I’ll come over after I wrap up filming.”His eyes caught the faintest light, glowing in the darkness while he spoke softly into the phone. “If you won’t come, I’ll make time to visit your set.” His tone was low, gentle, carrying the weight of a promise only a mate would understand.For a moment, silence filled the line. Cassandra whispered then, her voice barely steady. After I wrap up this drama, if you still want to marry me, Drake… I’ll say yes.”It came out all at once. The kind of courage that doesn’t come easy, torn straight from her chest. I couldn’t stop thinking about it,” she said after a pause. “Elena’s foster mom’s accident shook something loose in me.
