Chapter 11 The slap

Angel’s POVThe music slowed into something soft and I moved without thinking, letting the rhythm guide me. There was no audience now, no judging eyes or gossip. Just the empty dance floor and the stranger leaning calmly against the railing, watching with an expression I couldn’t decipher.For the first time in years, I didn’t dance to impress, or to please, I danced because I wanted to. When the music faded, I finally stopped, breathless and a little dizzy. I glanced at him, brushing hair from my face.“So?” I asked lightly. “How did I do?”He paused… then said, with the straightest expression imaginable:“You’d be better at singing.”I blinked as a laugh escaped me. “You must be terrible at giving compliments.”He shrugged. “Or very honest.”I found myself smiling despite everything. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the rare comfort I felt, but I finally asked:“What’s your name?”He hesitated for half a heartbeat before answering.“Kian. Kian Araqiel.”The name struck me l

Chapter 12 She resigned

Angel’s POVMy last day of clearing at work felt strangely peaceful. No dramatic farewell, just… quiet acceptance. I was clearing out the last drawer when Lily approached me.She was new, soft-spoken, ambitious, the kind of girl who went speechless when Bastien walked by. Plain as day, she had a big time crush on Bastien. She clutched a notebook to her chest, hesitating at my desk as if she feared I might bark.“Angel… Can I ask you something?”I blinked. “Sure.”Her cheeks flushed. “I…I heard you used to help Bastien with his day-to-day preferences. You know, his schedule, meals…habits… I was wondering if you could show me? I want to… help him. I’m trying to do well here.”I reached into my drawer and pulled out the thick folder I’d built over years of observing every detail of Bastien’s life. His favorite tea temperatures. The exact number of minutes he preferred his shirts steamed. Which pasta he liked.They were basically the things I had memorized out of love, out of devotion, o

Chapter 13 The broken family

Angel’s POVI got to the packhouse in the late afternoon where I found Bastien and Finn already present. Victoria arrived a few minutes later, carrying two thermal containers and a canvas bag brimming with homemade dishes.She looked exactly the same as she always had, upright posture, carefully styled hair, eyes warm when they landed on me. Of everyone in Bastien’s world, she was the only one who had ever truly welcomed me.“I heard rumors about you two,” she said simply as she stepped inside. “So I came to take a look.”Bastien barely glanced up from the sofa. “We have house staff. You didn’t need to cook.”Victoria shot him a cool look. “I cooked because I wanted to.”I smiled faintly, accepting the bags from her hands.“Thank you.”She squeezed my fingers briefly, as if reassuring herself that I was still here. She proceeded to serve me generously on my plate, insisting that ‘ I needed to eat more’. It was something that I was already used to since she basically treated me like I

Chapter 14 The Big Surprise

Angel’s PerspectiveI had not planned to return to the packhouse.In truth, I had avoided it deliberately, the walls still echoed with the memories and version of me who once believed love alone could make a marriage whole. But that morning, I found myself standing at the iron gates anyway.I told myself I was here to settle things. Talk to Bastien and fix loose ends. Nothing more.The packhouse was already awake. Servants moved quietly, heads lowered. Wolves bowed as I passed, calling me Luna out of habit. The title felt strangely hollow now, like a costume I had outgrown but had not yet fully removed.I found Bastien near the entrance hall.He was fully dressed in a formal suit, dark jacket tailored sharply to his shoulders, hair carefully arranged. Too careful.For a moment, I simply stared. A ridiculous and uninvited thought crossed my mind: He looked like a groom preparing to meet his wife. The irony almost made me laugh.“Bastien,” I called.He turned, surprise flickering across

Chapter 15 The Public Divorce

Angel’s PerspectiveSilence fell the moment the spotlight found me. It was a large audience consisting of members of my former pack and from Lilian’s side of the family. Everyone’s eyes snapped toward the stage. Confusion spread first, then shock. No one had expected me to come.I stood calmly beneath the harsh white light, my back straight, my hands steady at my sides. Inside, my heart was pounding so violently it felt as though it might tear its way out of my chest, but strangely, my face maintained calm.I had planned this moment for a while now, and now that it had arrived, I wasn't going to back away.Bastien was the first to move.He strode toward me in long, urgent steps, his expression a mixture of disbelief and irritation, as if my presence here was an inconvenience.“Angel,” he said in a low voice, forcing a smile meant to assure everyone that everything was okay. “You shouldn’t be here.”I let out a humorless laugh. “Really? I thought this was precisely the place to be.”Hi

Chapter 16 She was serious

Bastien’s Perspective“Angel!”My voice tore out of my throat but she didn’t stop. She didn’t slow. She didn’t even turn her head. For the first time since I’d known her, Angel completely ignored me.Something cracked inside my chest.“Are you serious?” I demanded hoarsely.She walked on.Lilian grabbed my arm desperately. “Bastien, listen to me, she’s lying, it’s fake, I can explain…”I shoved her away without thinking.“Get her out of here,” I snapped at Beta, my voice shaking with a fury I could barely control. “ Handle this situation.”Beta hesitated, then nodded sharply.I couldn’t think clearly anymore. All I could see was Angel’s retreating figure. Fear seized me.I never imagined in my lifetime that Angel would go as far as divorce me and sever our connection.I always imagined she would stay with me, despite the circumstances. This version of her was something I never knew.And Lilian, I couldn’t even think of her right now. Or the recording that made me aware of facts that I

Chapter 17 The Return on Kian

Angel’s POVFor a full week, the scandal dominated every media platform across the northern territories. Everywhere I looked, every headline, every comment section, every trending topic, one name flashed endlessly: Lilian.The truth about her involvement in my sister’s assault finally came to light. The public, who had once mocked me, now apologized in swarms. Everyone had now changed their tune.Her original accusations, the one where she claimed I had hired men to assault her and that she was some tragic mistress “forced” into a scandal, were now re-surfacing. And not only that, they were backfiring on her.And as if that weren’t enough, one video leaked, Lilian on her knees in a dark room, performing oral sex on a woman whose face was blurred. Speculation exploded and the hypocrisy of her public image shattered overnight.Then she completely lost control.While reporters surrounded her outside a café, asking about her alleged crimes, Lilian snapped.She slapped a journalist so hard

Chapter 18: Successful Employment

Angel's povThe listing was on the werewolf recruitment board, a tutoring position, live-in preferred, defense training and academic subjects, compensation negotiable. I had been checking that board every morning for two weeks. I applied at seven and had a response from someone named Ronan by noon.He met me at the gate of the villa and walked me in, and I spent the first few minutes trying to work out who owned a property like this. The estate was the kind that didn't announce itself — no excessive gates, no obvious displays, but everything about it said old money and real authority. I had lived in Bastien's world long enough to read the signs.Then the owner walked in and I understood immediately.Kian.The man from the club. The one who had bought me expensive clothes without blinking and occupied a room like he had always owned it. He was Ronan's Alpha, which made him the Alpha of Scar Pack, which meant the little girl I was here to tutor was his niece.He looked at me and someth

Chapter19 Kian exhaled

Angle‘s POVLily was five years old and approximately the most pleased with herself I had ever seen a child be. She stood with the water gun held triumphantly overhead, grinning with every tooth she had.Then she saw Kian's face.The grin went out like a light.Kian already had his jacket off. He crossed the space between us in three steps and dropped it over my shoulders, pulling it closed in the front without looking at anything he shouldn't. It smelled of cedar and something warmer underneath."Lily." His voice was flat. "You do not spray guests."Her lip wobbled."You are grounded for the week. No water gun, no garden, no—""Uncle." Her voice broke on it. "You never play with me anymore. You never have time and everyone who comes here leaves and you never—""Ronan."Ronan appeared from the direction of the kitchen with the expression of a man who had been listening for exactly this moment. He scooped Lily up and she went with him, still crying, her small voice trailing back throug

Chapter 20: My Business

Angel's povI was two blocks from the villa when I saw them.Bastien and Lilian, coming out of a restaurant on the corner, close enough together that there was no reading it any other way. Lilian had her hand on his arm and was laughing at something, and for a moment I considered crossing the street and taking the long way back to the transit stop.I didn't. I kept walking.Lilian saw me first."Angel." She said my name the way people said things they found faintly ridiculous. Her eyes went over me from top to bottom — the athletic shorts, the crop top I hadn't had a chance to change out of, Kian's jacket still around my shoulders because I had forgotten to leave it. "What are you doing here? Are you following us?""I was in the area," I said."Right." She smiled. "Of course you were." She looked at Bastien. "She's been doing this since the divorce. Showing up wherever we are.""I wasn't following you, Lilian.""You look terrible, by the way," she said, not unkindly, which was worse t
