Chapter 90 Conrad Stone ~•~ When Selena and I got outside the house so that Zoey would have some privacy with Wendy’s parents, she kept glaring at me. “If looks could kill, your eyes would have killed me,” I said with a chuckle as I leaned my back against the wall. We stood at the front porch. I didn’t want to go too far because I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation. But I couldn’t even hear anything. Selena sighed. “I know exactly what you guys are trying to do, and it’s really unfair.” I dragged a hand down my face. “Trust me, I have no part in it. I won’t force Zoey to make a decision that she doesn’t want to make.” Selena folded her arms. “So what happens if she eventually agrees to let Wendy go? What will you tell Ethan’s parents, or even the other members of the pack?” she demanded, her voice sharp. She didn’t even give me a chance to speak before she continued. “And what about you, huh? Ethan was your best friend, do you want to betray him

Chapter 92 Conrad Stone ~•~ “I’m sorry, but Zoey refused. And I already got a few calls from the beta, telling me that people are talking.” Wendy’s parents looked at me. “Talking about what?” Her father asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “That there are rumors that Wendy is back and we are going to let her walk free,” I replied, stroking my beard. Wendy’s father turned to my father. “Please, can you talk to your son? We can’t lose our daughter.” My father coughed. “Conrad, Wendy has been your childhood friend and you really want to do this?” he asked faintly with a hint of disappointment in his voice. “As I said earlier, the ball isn’t in my court,” I replied, forcing my voice to stay calm even though I was extremely angry. “And Ethan was also my childhood friend and she took him away from me.” Wendy’s mom started crying. “How can you be so heartless, Conrad? I took you as my son and this is how you want to repay me?” Why were they acting like

Chapter 93 Zoey Malik ~•~ “How’s everything going on there? Was the girl actually there?” Eve’s concerned voice came through the other end of the line. I let out a sharp breath. “Yes, Wendy is really here.” “Wow,” Eve muttered. “So what’s going on?” Eve listened quietly as I told her about everything. When I was done, she let out a humorless chuckle. “They really wanted you to forgive her? That’s insane,” Eve replied. I nodded in agreement. “Yes. That’s really insane. And you know the worst part?” I asked. “What’s that?” “Wendy didn’t even apologize to me. I don’t think she feels bad about what she did. She’s just upset that she got caught after hiding for months,” I replied with a hint of disgust in my voice. “That Wendy girl is really a bitch. I hope she gets the punishment that she deserves,” Eve continued. I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. “Me too. But it’s so difficult, Eve,” I admitted. “I have no idea how I’m going to watch somethin

Chapter 94 Zoey Malik ~•~ Wendy’s scream echoed in my head continuously as I tried to sleep. Even as I closed my eyes, I kept seeing her terrified face. I shouldn’t have watched them do that to her. My fingers curled into the sheets as I squeezed my eyes shut tighter, like that alone would shut it all out. It didn’t. Her scream rang again louder and sharper, like it was happening right beside me instead of hours ago. I shot up in bed, my chest heavy. Maybe I should have just forgiven her. But it was too late. She was gone, but I was left traumatized. I had no idea it would affect me like that. After sitting for a few minutes, I decided to head over to the kitchen to get a glass of water. On my way there, I saw Sean sitting on the dining chair. “You’re finding it difficult to sleep?” he asked, his voice low and rough, like he hadn’t slept either. I paused. “You’re awake,” I murmured, studying his face. “You’re also finding it difficult to sl

Chapter 95 Sean Bradford ~•~ I had only known Zoey for a short time, but I could read her like an open book. I saw how she reacted when I talked about finding the person who had attacked me. I could tell right away that she knew something but didn’t want to spill it. She hadn’t known anything before she went to Conrad. I was sure of that. But whatever happened there… It changed something. And I knew exactly how to push so that she would confess. “Yes. I’m confused now. I’m thinking that I should just attack everyone since I can’t figure out who the main culprit is.” I definitely wasn’t going to do that. It was irrational and stupid. But I just wanted Zoey to speak up. I knew she wouldn’t want me to start an unnecessary war. “You’d really do that?” she asked, her voice barely stable. “Of course,” I said without hesitation. I watched Zoey closely as she struggled with her thoughts. She was probably contemplating whether she should tell me about it or n

Chapter 96 Conrad Stone ~•~ I had this dull ache in my chest that refused to leave no matter how hard I tried to force it away. In just a few months, I’d lost both of my childhood best friends, my mate, and now, I was about to lose my father. Life didn’t have any meaning. Just because Wendy ended up facing her punishment, my father refused to go with me to another country for treatment. He kept blaming me for disappointing his friend and there was nothing to live for anymore. His words broke my heart. He looked me in the face and told me that there was nothing left to live for. I honestly didn’t even know what to say to him. After I left his room, I made my way to the bar in the house and poured myself a glass of whiskey. I just needed something… anything that would help me forget my worries. I already knew it wouldn’t work, but I just had to try my luck. By the time I was done drinking, I still felt miserable. I dragged a hand through my hair.

Chapter 97 Sean Bradford ~•~ My patience was hanging by a thread. A really thin thread. I told them I wanted to see Conrad within five minutes, but it had been almost ten minutes since I’d been parked outside his compound. The urge to step out of my car and break through his gate burned hot in my chest. But then Zoey’s face flashed in my mind. I’d made a promise to her, and I needed to keep to my word. I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay still. Suddenly, I saw the gate swinging open and my jaw unclenched when I saw Conrad walking out of the compound. I unlocked the car and stepped out immediately. When Conrad saw me, he laughed. My brows knitted into a frown. What the hell was he amused by? I took a few steps closer to him. Before I could say anything, he laughed again. “You said you’d make hell break loose if you don’t see me in five minutes,” he said with a smirk. “But I guess you’re all bark and no bite.”

Chapter 98 Zoey Malik ~•~ “Do you think Sean likes me?” I didn’t know when the words accidentally slipped out of my mouth. Eve’s eyes widened. “W—what? Why are you… asking?” she replied carefully, her voice quiet. I pressed a hand to my forehead. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t meant to say that out loud. It just slipped out.” Eve let out a sharp exhale. “It’s cool. I’m not judging you.” For the longest time, I’d tried my best to avoid talking about Sean with Eve. She knew about the whole arrangement and I knew she would think I was stupid if I started developing feelings for Sean. I didn’t even tell her that we slept together. And it wasn’t even advisable to fall for Sean because we had a bet—I would lose the entire money if I fell in love with him after the year was over. I couldn’t risk that. But when he asked me if I was still in love with Conrad, I saw how he looked at me. It was as if he was scared of my answer and he wanted me to say no. And I didn’t

Chapter 99 Zoey Malik ~•~ “So you sent that man over to my house to fight me?” Conrad’s angry voice echoed through the other end of the line. “I can’t believe you would do something like this.” I opened my mouth to speak, but he cut me off. “If you didn’t want me anymore, you could have simply told me, instead of embarrassing me like that.” I couldn’t hold back a scoff. “I told you multiple times that I don’t want you, you just do not want to accept it.” Conrad growled. “Really, Zoey? You would choose that man over me?” he asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. “After everything we’ve been through, you choose a stranger over me?” I rolled my eyes. I was tired of having the same conversation with him over and over again. I was sick of reminding him of all the horrible things he did to me. If he hadn’t done those things, maybe we would have still been together. But he ruined everything and was trying to act like I was the bad person and he was an innocen

Chapter 100 Sean Bradford ~•~ Ever since Zoey and I got intimate, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I still wanted her in my bed, but I didn’t know how to bring it up. But when I saw her staring at my body for so long, I assumed she was also thinking about it. So I saw it as the perfect opportunity to say something. I took a few steps closer to her. “Were you staring at my chest? Do you want me right now?” I asked, teasing her. Zoey’s face hardened immediately. “Why the hell would I want you when you still mess around with other women?” Her eyes blazed with anger. My brows pulled together as I stared at her. “Where did that come from?” One second, she was talking to me with so much care, and the next, she was shouting at me. From the way her expression changed, I could tell that she didn’t mean to say those words out loud. But it was too late. “Zoey, where is that coming from?” I asked when she remained silent. “Why do you think that I am me
