All Chapters of 100 Nights to Tame a Cursed Heart : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rhys' POVI slam my fist into the steering wheel as I watch Summer walk away with that bastard Luxian. My knuckles split against the hard plastic, but the pain feels good. Deserved.She chose him. Again.After everything I did for her. After I tried to save her from herself, tried to get her the help she needed. She still chose the monster over the man who actually cared enough to intervene.It doesn't make sense. I'm the one who protected the pack from her instability. I'm the one who made the hard decisions when she was spiraling out of control.But she looked at me like I was the villain in her story.The same way she used to look at me when I had to be firm with her. When her episodes got so bad that I had no choice but to take action.I start the engine and peel out of the parking lot. The other drivers can go to hell.My phone buzzes on the passenger seat. Unknown number.*How was your little coffee date? - V*My blood turns to ice.She knows. Virginia knows I met with Summer.A

Luxian's POVI break the kiss only long enough to drag her away from the wall and toward the desk. Papers scatter when I sweep my arm across the surface. She doesn’t protest, doesn’t even try.Good girl.I spin her so her hips press against the edge of the desk, her back to my chest. One hand fists in her hair, yanking her head back until the long column of her throat is exposed. I bite down, not hard enough to break skin, but hard enough to leave my mark. She gasps, the sound going straight to my cock.“You think you can parade around letting other men touch you?” My free hand slides down her stomach, under the waistband of her skirt, finding damp lace. “And then come home and taunt me?”“I didn’t—” Her words cut off when I press two fingers against her clit through the fabric, circling slowly.“Didn’t what?” I growl against her ear. “Didn’t enjoy his hands on you? Didn’t feel anything when he begged?”She tries to shake her head, but my grip in her hair keeps her still. “I didn’t

Virginia's POVI adjust the stunning sapphire necklace around my throat, catching the afternoon light perfectly as my dear mother-in-law Lady Jocelyn pours tea for our distinguished guests."Of course, when the Southern Queen personally selected these pieces for me," I say, touching the necklace with practiced casualness, "I was simply overwhelmed by her generosity."The wives of the pack council members lean forward, practically drooling with envy. Exactly as it should be.Lady Jocelyn - darling Jocelyn, the only woman with enough sophistication to appreciate my superiority - nods graciously. "The Queen has such exquisite taste. These diamonds she gifted me are simply divine."She gestures to her equally impressive bracelet, and I have to admire how perfectly we complement each other. Two women of true class, recognized by royalty itself. It's only natural that Jocelyn and I would be so close - she's the only one who truly understands my level of refinement."Tell us more about meeti

Luxian's POVThe scent of Summer lingers on my pillow when I roll over at dawn, but the bed beside me is cold.She's already up, probably trying to process what happened between us in the forest. The memory of her wolf—silver and graceful under moonlight—makes something primal stir in my chest.She was fucking magnificent. Wild in ways I'd forgotten women could be.But more than that, she trusted me. Let me guide her through the shift, let me hunt beside her like we were true mates instead of bound by contracts and curses.The thought should satisfy the possessive beast in me. Instead, it leaves me hungry for more.I find her in the breakfast room, already dressed and staring out the window with a cup of coffee growing cold in her hands. When she looks at me, her expression is carefully blank."Morning," I say, settling across from her."Alpha." The formal address hits like a slap. "I trust you slept well."The walls are back up. Higher than before."Well enough." I study her face, l

Rhys's POVThe invitation sits on my desk where Virginia threw it an hour ago, and I can't stop staring at Summer's photograph.She looks radiant. Happy in a way I remember from our early days together, before everything went wrong. Before I let my mother and the pack pressure get to me.But what pisses me off most is that she's happy without me. After everything we had - a marriage arranged by our fathers, a bond that was supposed to unite our families - she just walked away and found something better.Like our history meant nothing.Virginia storms back into my study, her face twisted with rage. "Did you see this? Did you fucking see what she did to us?"She waves her own invitation like evidence of a personal attack."I saw it.""She knew, Rhys. She had to know we were trying to book Rosevale Manor. This is deliberate sabotage."My mother appears in the doorway, holding her invitation with white-knuckled fury. "That manipulative little bitch planned this. Timed it perfectly to dest
