The week had been long, but not wasted.Jenna leaned back against the cool leather of her new car, exhaling a soft sigh as she adjusted her grip on the steering wheel. A week away from school hadn’t been a vacation, not really, it had been work. Hard work. Necessary work.For the first time in her life, she’d carved out something that belonged only to her.She thought of Nana, the old woman who had practically raised her. The phone call had been difficult, her voice had cracked as soon as she heard the familiar, soothing tone on the other end. She had told Nana everything, but she’d made her swear to keep it a secret from her father. And Nana had agreed without hesitation, her loyalty as unshakable as always.With Nana’s help, she’d found a loyal assistant, someone who knew how to keep their mouth shut and get things done. Together, they’d set the foundations of her business. A business that carried her name, her ideas, her independence.And now she owns her own terrace house. A place

Alpha Desmond sat in his study, a half-finished glass of whiskey trembling in his grip. He rarely drank before noon, but lately, nothing quieted the gnawing unease clawing at him. The leather chair groaned as he leaned back, staring at the silent phone on his desk.She’d really done it. Aria had left his house.For years, he thought her too soft, too dependent on the comforts he provided. He’d believed she wouldn’t survive a day without his authority, without his wealth. Yet a week had passed. A full week and she hadn’t come crawling back.“Aria…” he muttered under his breath, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Where in the Goddess’s name are you?”A knock at the door broke his thoughts. He straightened, voice clipped. “Come in.”The door opened and his new stepdaughter glided in. Amara. The girl was a mirror of her mother’s elegance, though colder. Dark hair flowed down her shoulders, and her sharp eyes studied the room before settling on him with a small, knowing smile.“You asked for

The moment Alpha Ryker’s voice cut through the restaurant, Mina almost dropped her fork. Her eyes darted up, and when she saw him standing there, tall, sharp, with that unmistakable air of command, she instantly bristled, her hand curling into a fist around her napkin.“Who the hell invited him?” she muttered under her breath, glaring.Celeste, on the other hand, froze. The laughter that had been bubbling in her throat seconds earlier vanished. She sat stiff in her chair, her eyes wide as she darted a glance at Aria.Jenna’s blood ran cold, but she forced herself to lift her chin. Her pulse hammered in her ears, but she slipped into her mask…Aria’s mask. Calm. Detached. Unshaken.“Aria,” Ryker said again, his gaze fixed solely on her as though her friends didn’t exist. “We need to talk.”“No, we don’t,” Mina snapped before Jenna could answer. “She’s having dinner. With us.”Ryker finally flicked his eyes toward Mina, his mouth curling in amusement. “And who might you be? Her little gu

The weekend had passed faster than Jenna wanted. Between laughing with Celeste and Mina, attending to calls from her assistant, and drafting the guest list for Aurévia’s first gala, she hadn’t had a second to breathe. Yet, for once, she didn’t mind.The gala had to be perfect. Elegant, breathtaking, unforgettable. If everything went well, Aurévia would be the talk of the city, even if no one knew the real CEO. Jenna would keep her identity firmly in place, hidden behind her stand-in. She wasn’t ready to reveal herself yet.Not when Ryker was still circling her and breathing. Not when Kaelion made her heart trip against her ribs.By Monday morning, she was exhausted but determined. She slipped into a crisp blouse and pencil skirt, twisted her hair up, and dabbed on a little gloss. A normal student. That was all anyone needed to see.On the drive to school, she told herself she could handle this. She could ignore the way Kaelion’s embrace still haunted her. She could ignore the way Ryk

“Ariaaa, you’re spacing again.”Mina waved her hand in front of Jenna’s face, nearly knocking the pen out of her grip.Jenna blinked hard. “What?”“You’ve been staring at that assignment sheet for ten minutes,” Celeste said, leaning back in her chair with folded arms. “But the paper’s still blank.”“I’m thinking,” Jenna muttered.“Thinking?” Mina snorted. “More like plotting a murder. Who got under your skin this time?”Her throat tightened. Amara. That flicker in her eyes yesterday when Mina joked about sisters. That too sure tone when she said Jenna was Alpha Desmond’s only child. A stranger shouldn’t have known that.But Jenna forced a light smile. “Relax, I’m just tired.”Mina narrowed her eyes. “You’ve been tired since last semester.”Celeste smirked. “She’s hiding something.”“Guys…”“No, seriously,” Mina cut in, tossing her braid over her shoulder. “Every time you get that look, trouble follows. If it’s not Ryker, it’s Kaelion. If it’s not Kaelion, it’s some jealous classmate.
