Silence and What Follows After

Chapter ElevenElla POV By morning, his silence started to bother me. I lay awake on the worn couch in the operations room, staring at the cracked ceiling and waiting for my burner phone to buzz. It never did, not from a message or an update. The man who spent half the night tearing through the wrong districts like a storm that refused to settle was yet to call.Such absence of noise meant one of two things. Either Rohan had entirely lost steam or he had stopped taking the bait. Neither option sat well with me.I sat up slowly and stretched, mentally reviewing last night’s sequence. If they had still been searching, my contact would have reported more movement. Instead, this was a full operational blackout. That meant Rohan and his men had most likely pulled back to regroup.I exhaled. “Fantastic. Now he’s strategizing.”That was not what I wanted. I pushed off the couch and headed to the training hall. I had a routine to keep up. It kept my mind sharp and my emotions from spiraling

A move closer

Chapter TwelveElla POVThe moment we sat, my men set the thick folder on the table, followed by a polished silver tray carrying a pot of steaming coffee and two empty cups. Rohan barely spared the pot a glance.“I am not drinking anything,” he said flatly.His tone carried the same distrust he had walked in with. It was impressive how consistent he was.I leaned back in my seat and smiled. “Relax. I don’t plan to poison the man I am preparing to marry.”His eyes flicked to me with a cold stare.I held up both hands lightly. “If I wanted to take you out, I would not use coffee. I am not that predictable.”His expression hardened further, which only encouraged me.I leaned forward and pushed one cup toward him. “And besides, how could I poison you when I still need you alive for the ceremony.”He pushed the cup back without touching it. “I said no.”I shrugged and poured a generous amount into my own cup. “Suit yourself. Your loss.”When I lifted the mug and took a slow sip, he watche

She had no idea

Chapter ThirteenRohan POVSitting across from her at that polished wooden table, watching her posture ooze confidence like she had the upper hand, she genuinely believed she was playing me. Ella was smart, but she wasn’t smart enough to see the one truth I’d kept buRiad beneath my calm exterior: the only reason I agreed to this arrangement was to fulfill my own objective. I’ll marry her, betray and end her lineage once and for all.Her family had taken enough from mine and her proposal was the doorway I needed to finish what should have been finished years ago. She thought she was crafting a victory. Meanwhile, I was quietly laying the foundation for her downfall.I had come to this meeting with a clear head, analyzing it the way I would any tactical engagement. I watched the guards bring out the final documents and Ella slid my copy toward me like she was presenting a victory. She carRiad that smug confidence she always wore, certain she had me cornered. I didn’t react. She didn’t

Scarred

Chapter FourteenElla POVThe moment Rohan’s car vanished from my line of sight, I felt satisfaction settle in my chest. I stayed still for several seconds, listening for any movement behind me, watching the forest road to confirm he wasn’t circling back for a surprise attack. When the air remained calm, I exhaled and walked toward the secondary route I had arranged with my guards.The path we used fed into the capital from the west, a road no one monitored because it looked abandoned. Tall grass swallowed its edges and the trees hung low enough to hide any passing vehicle. I slipped into the passenger seat of the waiting car, tapped the dashboard twice, and we pulled away.Halfway to the capital, I finally reached for my phone.“Ria,” I said the moment she picked up, “tell the guards to release Brielle. They should blindfold her and drop her at the market center. Make sure it is at the most crowded point. I’m sure she’ll find her way from there.”Ria gasped softly. “Are you sure th

A Father’s Acknowledgment

Chapter FifteenElla POVMrs Bale greeted us the moment we stepped through the double doors of the estate. She placed a hand on her chest out of respect and smiled at me before extending the same courtesy to Ria, who stood slightly behind me.“Welcome home. You both look exhausted. Are you hungry? I am setting lunch for the Alpha.”I had worked myself into the ground and my stomach reminded me of that every few seconds. “I am starving,” I said, maintaining my composure, “but I need to see my father first.”“In his chambers,” she replied. “He is resting.”“That is fine. I will meet him there.”I walked down the long hallway without waiting for anyone to guide me. I knew that corridor better than anyone. Every polished tile, every portrait, every turn was familiar. I pushed the door open and stepped inside.He was in his usual seat, angled toward the wide window, eyes half-closed. He never fully slept; he only rested at intervals. He recognized my steps before I even spoke.“If you have

Alpha and Wife

Chapter SixteenRohan POVPreparations for the private ceremony had moved just the way I wanted. The palace staff had already assembled everything for my original wedding to Brielle, from the garments to the officiating rites, so redirecting all logistics toward this new arrangement took very little effort. The less noise around this event, the better.I stood in my dressing chamber while Nikolai inspected the lines of my tuxedo. He adjusted my collar, brushed imaginary lint off my sleeves and stepped back to assess the final look. I wore a navy blue suit with a black tie and polished shoes. He insisted on the tuxedo as a sign of formality, although the ceremony itself would be quiet and strategically so.“You only need to get through tonight,” Nikolai said as he straightened the seams again. “Once this is done, everything will fall back under your control.”“I know,” I replied. “Tonight is the last hurdle. After this, I will redirect my assets. Every legal right she thinks she has cl

Storm Inside the Walls

Chapter SeventeenElla POVI stood at the mouth of the ancestral cave, feeling the cool air roll across my skin like the final seal on the vow I had just completed. The torches burned low behind me, their smoke drifting upward as if the flames themselves were exhausted from the spectacle of the wedding ceremony.My wedding ceremony; the one I needed to prove to my father my plan was in motion.Alpha Dracula, my father stood a few steps ahead, tall and imposing in his dark ceremonial cloak. I had not knelt for him in years. Not since he stripped me of my title and power and cast me out to prove myself worthy again.But tonight, with the agreement sealed and his conditions satisfied, I stepped forward and lowered myself to the ground. My knee touched the dirt, my head bowed. “Father,” I said, racing my head so he could look upon my face.For a heartbeat, he said nothing. Alpha Dracula was not the type to rush acknowledgment. He let silence do the heavy lifting. Finally, his voice roll

Lie with Me

Chapter EighteenRohan POVThe call came in just as I closed the final file on my desk. Nicolai’s name flashed on the screen, and for a moment I wondered if he had found yet another reason to complain about Ella. My Beta had never been the patient type, especially with anyone wearing a red dress or carrying a Silver Fang surname.I answered.“My Alpha,” he began, voice crisp, “Ella has fully settled in. She came with her assistant, Ria. I’ve given her a tour of the entire building, and she is now in the room you asked to be prepared for her.”I leaned back in my chair and shut my eyes briefly. So she was in. She had crossed the threshold. The wife title was no longer ceremonial ink on a page; she was physically inside my domain now. It wasn’t what I wanted in any way, but I had no control over it at the moment. “Good,” I replied. “Anything else?”“She asked about the kitchen,” Nicolai said. “She mentioned wanting to prepare a meal for you.”I almost laughed. Ella, in my kitchen, play

Duel

Chapter NineteenElla POV Dinner felt like a duel.The long dining table stretched between us was a silent declaration of war but I was used to it. It was exactly the same way it was back in my father’s mansion. All that distance, formality, and power for a simple act of eating. I grew up mastering tables like this. Rohan, unfortunately for him, was just as adept at using silence as a weapon.So we sat at opposite ends, staring and waiting for the other to make the first move. Someone had to say something eventually. The last words between us had been back in my room. I had told him I wanted him to lie with me that night. He didn’t say a single thing or flinch. He didn’t question it either. He simply turned his head away and walked out as though he had heard nothing at all. That part irritated me more than I expected.Now, here he was, glaring across from me with that poker-faced calm and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh or break something. So I tried again.“If I’m not attractive

The First Kiss

Chapter TwentyElla POV “You are really overreacting here, Rohan,” I said softly, trying to bring back some semblance of normalcy to the situation. “You are just asking me a question. You don’t need to be so dramatic about it.”Rohan’s eyes met mine, and for a moment, I saw something there that I hadn’t before—a look of vulnerability, quickly masked by the intensity he was bringing into the moment. “Okay, now you’re being really weird. What is…”Without warning, his hands moved to my waist, and before I could react, his lips crashed down on mine.The kiss was sudden, forceful, and filled with a kind of desperation that took me completely by surprise. I tensed in his arms, caught off guard by the suddenness of it all, and tried to pull away. But Rohan’s grip tightened, holding me firmly in place as his lips continued to assault mine.I should have resisted, should have pushed him away more, but the intensity of his kiss, the way his lips moved against mine with a hunger that bordered
