Corinne POVOne year later...I tried to connect his family name with the name of that huge company everyone knows."This company has belonged to my family for four generations. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Even before I was born, I already had a full bank account, and my path was set for me. While other kids were playing with toys, I was preparing to take my father’s place in society. I did that when I turned forty. And today, my personal wealth is close to thirty billion dollars."My eyes widened. I swallowed hard. How could someone be that rich at just forty?I understood his story. But I still didn’t see what it had to do with me.The only way to know was to ask."But what does that have to do with me?""After I took over the company, a condition was added. I have to get married. I avoided it for a long time, but now I can’t anymore."I still didn’t get it.Or maybe… was he about to ask me to marry him?"What do you mean?""I’d be lying if I told you that you never

Corinne POVA wild urge crashed over me to hold on to this… to him… like I was drowning. It was not just a kiss. It felt like a silent deal. A contract I never signed, yet somehow agreed to. I was giving up everything I was raised to believe in, just to taste a few moments of pleasure and fake safety.Glasier gently pulled me toward the wide couch. His eyes never left mine. He sat, then guided me down beside him. But there was no space between us anymore. I could feel the heat of his body through my thin dress. His scent wrapped around me, stronger than the wine I had just sipped."You know, Corinne," his voice dropped into a rough whisper that brushed against my ear, "life in the shadows is not as easy as you think. You will need nerves of steel when you see my pictures in magazines with another woman. And when you have to stay silent at the exact moment you want to scream my name."I looked at him, my heart pounding hard. "Why are you telling me this now? Are you trying to scare me

Glacier POVLumi fell silent, but her eyes stayed sharp, watching every flicker of my reaction. Her words about Corinne’s wolf, about the Alpha aura that showed up a year ago, hit me hard. Like a strike straight to the chest. Corinne is not just a mate. She carries something inside her. Power. The kind that can shake thrones. That explains why Luke went this far to hide her, to strip her down into a fragile human girl living a dull, quiet life in the human world.I tried to suppress her wolf before. Tried to bury it. I failed. She is strong. Strong enough to fight everyone. Even if it gets pushed down, it will not stay silent for long. It will rise again."Where is he?" I asked, my voice low, almost a hiss. I could not wait anymore. My fist burned for revenge. My wolf roared inside me, restless, ready to tear through every wall standing between us and the truth.Lumi smiled coldly. "In an old cellar beneath an abandoned farm at the edge of the city. Luke is not just keeping him there.

Glacer POVI couldn’t catch Drake, and I couldn’t show myself in front of Luke. But I did manage to fix things with Corinne. Better than before. She even started coming over to my place sometimes.Monday night, I didn’t step into my house until eight. My eyelids felt heavy. My whole body ached with exhaustion. I had already told Corinne I’d be late so she could eat and sleep without waiting for me.When I got back, I found her in the living room. She was wearing one of her cute, colorful pajamas, curled up on the couch, watching an old movie from the nineties.“Hey, Corinne.”“Oh? You’re already back? I thought you’d come later.” Her voice carried surprise. Maybe even a little disbelief. She sat up straight, giving me her full attention.“Glacer? You look pale. Are you okay?” Her brows pulled together, worry clear in her eyes.Honestly… I don’t think I am. I don’t even know how I forced myself through a full day at the office. I ran a hand over my face, damp with sweat and fatigue, an

Glacier POVSleep wasn’t an escape. It was a trap. Every time my eyes closed, I felt her cold fingers brushing over my forehead, like the only thread tying me to reality while the fever dragged me under. Her scent slipped into my senses, numbing the pain… and waking something else inside me. Something that was never supposed to wake.I opened my eyes slowly.The room was drowned in darkness, broken only by thin strips of moonlight leaking through the curtains.Corinne was still there.She wasn’t sitting on the chair anymore. She had leaned against the edge of the bed, sleep taking over her, her head tilted slightly toward my shoulder.I watched her in silence.Her features, at rest, looked softer. Less guarded. She looked… mine.A dark, possessive thought moved through my fevered mind.I shifted slightly, and the bed creaked.Corinne woke up at once. She startled, rubbing her eyes with her small hands."Glacier? You’re awake? How do you feel?"Her voice was rough with sleep. It made m
