Chapter 89

Katherine:Home had never smelled sweeter.I remembered hating being here when I was younger, that the fact that I was forced to live through with my father was something that I loathed. Then coming back only reminded me of how much of a fool I was…But now… it has become my sanctuary… my home.The halls of my pack were silent as I walked through them, heads bowed, servants and guards alike stepping aside without question. They believed the story I had given them, that my father had grown weak, that sickness had finally claimed him in his sleep.They never asked how a dying man had managed to claw at the sheets.Or why his throat had bruised.They didn’t care much, I assumed.I stopped in my private chamber and turned toward the lone framed picture resting on the shelf beside my desk. The one picture that I refused to let go of. it was a reminder of everything that I was working on, what I lost… he was the reminder of all the pain than I lived through.Dominic.Us.I stared at it long

Chapter 90

Katherine:Power always announced itself before people did.It always reflected with the way others looked at you when you walked into a room.I felt Lorenzo D’Angelo before I saw him, his scent sharp with ambition, his presence restless, coiled. Rogues like him never truly learned how to be still. They survived by moving, by taking, by refusing to kneel.So when he stepped into my territory unchallenged, I smiled.“I didn’t think that you would come.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.“They sent for you,” he said without preamble, dark eyes sweeping the grounds. “And for once, I decided to listen. I don’t think that you can do me any harm by speaking your mind, can you?”I turned slowly, letting my gaze trail over him with deliberate leisure. “How flattering. I was beginning to think you enjoyed ignoring invitations. And the fact that you made me realize that you didn’t miss me didn’t make it any easier for me.”He scoffed. “I heard whispers of a proposal. Power has a way of sh

Chapter 91

Katherine:I sat up once he was done, the weight leaving me as he pulled away, laying on his back to catch his breath. I reached for the blanket and drew it over myself without hurry, letting the silence stretch just long enough to matter, just long enough to make him turn his attention back to me.He extended an arm toward me.I took it.Not because I needed it, but because I knew how to play this.And I knew well what the cost would be not to play along when needed.I leaned in, resting lightly against him, fingers tracing idle patterns along his skin. I’d been taught this long before power ever came into my hands. Seduction wasn’t about bodies. It was about ego.“You don’t hesitate,” he said. “Not with your plans. Not with people. So, I am curious about why you would be willing to have me of all people as your partner.”“I ruined things before,” I replied calmly. “And I’d do it again. And I wouldn’t mind this time. I if I am going to be the one to gain out of it, then I am willing

Chapter 92

Lia:It had been three days.Three long, restless days where his room had remained empty, his scent fading from the sheets, from the air, from everywhere that had started to feel like home.I told myself I wasn’t waiting. I told myself that I was busy doing other things… though I technically knew that I had nothing to do.And the moment I heard he had returned, my feet carried me there before I could think twice.I didn’t knock.I opened the door, and he was there.Standing.Looking just as tired as I had imagined he would be.His eyes meeting mine for a second, reminding me of the peace that I found myself craving.Before he could even speak, I crossed the distance between us and ran straight into his arms.He caught me instantly.Strong.Certain.His hold tightened around me as he buried his face in my hair, inhaling deeply.“I missed you,” he murmured against my temple.My chest tightened at how honest he sounded.I pulled back just enough to look at him before leaning up and press

Chapter 93

Marcel:Something about her request stayed with me.It wasn’t the idea of attendants, that wasn’t unusual for someone in her position now, but the way she had asked. Careful. Almost hesitant.Lia was not a hesitant woman. And regardless, if I got to know her enough until now, I knew that even the idea of asking for attendants was not one that she would have made… not without a reason.So I found Theia.She stood near the corridor outside the consort wing, posture immediately straightening when she saw me.“Alpha.”“Is something bothering Lia?” I asked without preamble.Theia blinked, clearly not expecting the question.“My Alpha?”“She requested something from me… and it was not like her.” I said calmly. “Is there something that I need to know, Theia? Something that happened when I wasn’t around?”Theia hesitated, just long enough for me to know there was more that what I had heard. That indeed, there was something that everyone was making sure to hide.“You can speak freely.” I said

Chapter 94

Isobel:When Marcel came to see me, I welcomed him the way I always did.With open arms.“My son, welcome home.” I said softly, rising from my seat.“How are you, mother?” He asked softly, taking my hand in his, kissing my knuckle. I smiled and put my hand on his shoulder, my heart feeling content for the first time in days seeing as he was back and safe.“Now that you are back, I am well.” I said, watching as he took a step back. “Come. Sit with me for a while. You got back from a long few days, I believe. Tell me how your days went.”He did.And I smiled as one of the maids served him a glass of wine. He took a sip of the drink and set the glass down, nodding at the maid in thanks.We spoke of neutral things at first, patrols, borders, the usual rhythm of a pack that never truly slept. He told me about the rogues he’d driven back, about tightening watch along the eastern grounds. I listened, nodding, asking the right questions.I knew he wasn’t telling me everything.He never had.N

Chapter 95

Lia:The room felt too quiet the moment I stepped inside.Not peaceful, tight. Like every breath was being measured, controlled. The girls stood in a neat line, eyes lowered, shoulders drawn back the way people stand when they’ve learned that stillness keeps them alive.I hated how familiar it felt.The fact that though I had never been a slave, that I had to choose ones who escorted me when I was younger.Marcel stayed beside me, close enough that I could feel him without looking. His presence was steady, grounding, like he was there in case my knees decided to give out.“You don’t have to choose today,” he said quietly. “You can walk away. No one will force this. You can think about it and make your choice when you’re ready.”I shook my head before he could finish.“If I walk away,” I murmured, “nothing changes. Because I will be honest, nothing about something like this is ever going to be easy for me.”His jaw tightened, but he let me go.I walked slowly in front of them, forcing

Chapter 96

Marcel:I had watched other women choosing slaves around and about.I grew up watching my mother having them trained, brought in, and even sent to my room…I watched a few grow up, being brought in from the world that they lived in to be slaves here within he pack…But never in my life did I see such gentleness, understanding, and sympathy toward the women, who in theory, should have been in the lowest of ranks.She didn’t raise her voice.Didn’t posture.Didn’t try to prove power.She spoke softly, carefully, like every word mattered. Like the girls in front of her mattered. She didn’t treat them like they were tools for to serve her, nor did she treat them like they were slaves to listen to what she said… she treated them like they were people.And they felt it.I saw it in the way their shoulders loosened, just a fraction. In the way their eyes followed her, not with fear, but with something dangerously close to hope, something that begged for her to be the one to take them in.She

Chapter 97

Lia:His room did not feel like his room anymore.It felt like somewhere I could breathe.And the fact that he was quiet didn’t make it any easier for me not to overthink the number of things that I had in mind.I sat on the edge of his bed, my fingers brushing over the embroidery on the blanket, tracing the pattern without really seeing it. My thoughts were still with the girls, Kylie’s hesitant voice, the way the younger one had looked at me like I had handed her something she had never been allowed to have.A choice.The door closed behind me.I didn’t have to look up to know it was him.His scent reached me first.Warm. Familiar.Safe.I lifted my eyes slowly.Marcel wasn’t heading toward his desk.He wasn’t reaching for reports.He walked straight to me.Each step felt deliberate.Heavy.Intent.My heart picked up its pace without permission.“You didn’t have to do that,” he said quietly. “What you did today…”I frowned slightly. “Do what?”“The girls. The kindness that you showe

Chapter 98

Marcel:I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, while Lia traced lazy, absent patterns across my chest.Her fingers moved without purpose.Slow.Thoughtful.Comfortable.It wasn’t even the kind of touch that wasn’t meant to seduce. She didn’t even need to try for me to want her. She was the one person who I wanted without trying.But her touch was gentle enough to remind me that she was here, that she wasn’t leaving. And these moments were more than I could even wish for.Her hair spilled across my shoulder, and every now and then she shifted slightly, her knee brushing against my thigh. I kissed her temple, making her sigh in contentment before she raised herself to look at me.I hadn’t felt this calm in years.Not since I was a boy.Not since before I understood what power truly meant.“You’re quiet,” she murmured. “You have been for a while too.”I huffed a soft breath. “So are you.”Her finger traced the center of my chest. “I’m thinking.”“That’s dangerous.”She smiled, making
