31. SHADOWS OF OLD ALLIANCES

Kai I stared at the letter that was still in my hand, the barely contained anger rushing through my veins. How dare this man? The words blurred for a moment as I reread them. Alpha Draven of the Silver Fang Pack was officially ending our alliance. He accused me of shunning and hurting his daughter, and threatened to team up with another pack, possibly even Viktor’s rogues only under the condition that I agree to court his “precious daughter” and make her my mate. The audacity. I crumpled the paper in my fist, my knuckles turning white. “Who the hell does he think he is?” I growled under my breath. “ Stay calm, Alpha,” Cephas said. “I’m pretty sure this was the same reaction he was hoping to get out of you if you read this.” I tossed the crumpled letter onto the desk. “The bastard thinks he can command me? After everything?” Cephas sat across from me, rubbing his jaw. “ But then wait… the rejection happened a long time ago. We all thought he’d moved past it. Why is he soundi

32. A RUINED MORNING

The day for the meeting she’d longingly anticipated had finally come and Ariana felt anything but steady. It felt like a dream and a nightmare all at once. Today was the day she was going to get the fruit of her hard-earned labor. Her preparations would pay off, and she’d be able to prove to Ms. Harlan that she could get Kai Torrence on board as stubborn as he might prove to be. She stood in front of the full-length mirror in the mansion’s guest room, staring at her reflection with a mix of nerves and determination. Lena made sure to make her appear elegant without being flashy, her hot black dress hugging her figure in all the right places while looking professional. Her diamond earrings and choker added just the right touch of sophistication. Lena was behind her, making sure to apply the final touches to her makeup carefully. Thanks to her bestie she looked like a beautiful office siren. “ Ughhh girl you look so stunning!!!” Lena praised as she stepped back to admire her wo

33. A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Ariana The moment this ignorant boy allowed those words to leave his mouth, everything clicked into place. I’d somehow realized who’d exactly sabotaged our upcoming meeting – the same person who had been looking for any chance to make me look incompetent. But of course this wasn’t the time to mope about it. We’d figure out how to handle that later. “Leave her alone or else I’ll call park security. It’s so terribly shameful that boys like you feel it’s a total flex to pick on people, especially an innocent little girl. Your parents would be so embarrassed seeing you behave like this.” The boys, obviously stung by my scolding words, stared at me for a while before finally backing away with a few inaudible murmurings. The little girl looked up at me with wide, grateful eyes. “Thank you,” she said quietly. I gave her a small smile. “You’re welcome. Are you okay?” She nodded, still holding her backpack tightly. I glanced over at Lena, who was still scrolling through her phone w

34. THE CULPRIT

Ari The car slowed to a stop in front of a pair of tall black iron gates. Beyond them, the private club rose like something out of a dream. I stepped out and froze in awe. The building was set back from the road, framed by tall, perfectly trimmed hedges and soft golden lighting that glowed along the stone pathway. Dark wood and glass made up most of the exterior, giving it a modern but yet timeless look. Warm light spilled from the large windows, and a long reflecting pool ran along the front, the water was so still that it mirrored the entire structure. Soft music drifted faintly from somewhere inside, mixed with the gentle sound of water. The gardens were carefully landscaped, with neat rows of flowering bushes, low lanterns tucked between the greenery, and stone paths that curved gracefully toward the entrance. Everything about this place screamed old money, luxury, and exclusivity. “How have I never heard of this place?” I asked, still staring. Jeff, Madeleine’s dad,

35. A TRAITOR AMONGST US

Ariana I stood outside the Obsidian Room, smoothing the front of my black dress for what felt like the tenth time. Everything was ready. The private conference room had already been prepared, along with the projectors and the documents. Lena had double-checked the presentation slides with me earlier, and Jeff had assured me the space would remain completely private. All that was left was for Kai and Miss Harlan to arrive. As soon as the thought of him came to mind, a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled up. That must be him. My heart gave a nervous jump as the door opened and Kai stepped out, tall and sharp in his dark blue suit. Behind him came Elena and two of his guards. He looked so composed but the tightness around his mouth gave me the message that he wasn’t so pleased about the last-minute change. I sighed heavily. I wish I could make it up to him and tell him that this was sabotage but it would come off as an excuse to him. Before I could even greet him properly, a large c
