Chapter 81 He'd Been Completely Sober

Cecilia's povXavier kept his head down, not speaking.His hand rose slowly."Alpha Xavier, don't you dare!" I exclaimed instinctively, reaching to stop him.If he struck Alpha Sebastian, rumors would spread that Alpha Sebastian was attacked because of me.I'd be branded as the human homewrecker who caused conflict between two powerful Alphas. The Silver Peak Pack would tear me apart.Xavier's hand froze mid-air.He turned to look at me, his eyes swimming with heartbreak and betrayal.I fought the urge to roll my eyes.Seriously? We signed divorce papers yesterday and he's acting like I've committed some great betrayal? Does he have selective amnesia?Xavier's bitter smile spoke volumes about his wounded pride.I returned it with a fake smile of my own.Our silent communication spoke volumes.He was trying to play the victim.I'd grown immune to his manipulation.Xavier turned back to face the table.The tension in the room was palpable—everyone poised to intervene if violence erupted.

Chapter 82 Maybe He'd Say Yes

Cecilia's povAs we drove back to the office, a troubling thought crossed my mind.What really connected Xavier and Alpha Gavin—besides business?Cici White.Just thinking about her made my skin crawl.What new plan was that snake working on this time?She had a way of poisoning everything she touched.It was like rot spreading under clean skin—slow, hidden, but dangerous.I muttered under my breath, "Can't we just throw her in jail already?"According to Harper, the current evidence only made her an accomplice to the kidnapping.But if they could tie her to the assault and attempted murder charges, she could be facing up to fifteen years—even with the Shadow Pack 's lawyers doing everything they could to protect her.Still, Cici seemed determined to avoid even a day in prison.First, she showed up with medical records claiming a serious mental illness.Then, she faked a seizure right there in court.Honestly, who did they pay off to make that look real?Is this what justice supposed t

Chapter 83 Mountain Secrets

Cecilia's pov"If you dare to dream it, you can have it."Was he mocking my simple wishes?Did he think I was being childish for wanting someone like Liam in my life?Liam smiled warmly nearby, obviously pleased by Alpha Sebastian's words.The genuine happiness on his face made me wonder if I had misinterpreted Alpha Sebastian's tone.After breakfast, Liam drove us to the airport.Our destination was Colorado Springs - a place I hadn't visited often, though I remembered it for its beautiful scenery and crisp mountain air.Alpha Sebastian and I took a commercial flight, sitting in first class naturally.He spent most of the journey reviewing documents while I pretended to read a novel, trying not to be hyperaware of his presence beside me.From the airport, we took a private car deep into the mountains.The total investment exceeded $2.3 billion, with Silver Peak Pack owning sixty percent and Remy's company controlling the remaining forty.As we drove further from the city, the landscap

Chapter 84 Dangerous Words

Cecilia's povI pulled out my phone and added Marcus to my contacts.I couldn't help but smile politely as we exchanged information.There's something about my smile that tends to disarm people.My looks might be striking - even intimidating to some - but my demeanor softens the impact, making me seem more approachable than I actually am.It's quite deceptive.Only those who truly know me understand the ice that lies beneath."Your profile picture is just as beautiful as you are in person," Marcus gushed, completely forgetting Alpha Sebastian was still standing right there.His eyes were fixed on me with undisguised admiration."Thank you," I replied graciously, accepting the compliment without making a big deal of it.Marcus seemed eager to continue our conversation when a bone-chilling voice cut through the air, "Manager Marcus Reid, you seem to have an abundance of free time on your hands."I saw Marcus visibly flinch.Only a fool would miss the displeasure in Alpha Sebastian's tone

Chapter 85 Twilight Games

Cecilia's pov"I'll let him know," I said, firing off a quick text to Marcus with Alpha Sebastian's response.Part of me wanted to warn Alpha Sebastian that Remy was up to no good.The sleazy older wolf clearly wanted to drag the powerful Silver Peak Alpha into his debauchery pit.But then again, Alpha Sebastian wasn't exactly a naive pup who needed my protection.His intelligence far outweighed my concerns."It's still early. Let's take a walk," Alpha Sebastian suggested, his deep voice breaking my concentration.I looked up from my phone, momentarily confused. "Oh, I'd rather stay in. It's almost dark, and wandering alone in these mountains is pretty creepy. I'll just hang out in the villa ."When I caught his expression—something between amusement and subtle disappointment—I suddenly realized what he meant. "Wait... you want to go for a walk together?""One person wandering alone would be quite frightening," he replied, his tone deliberately melancholic."...I'll come with you," I m

Chapter 86 The Tenth Beauty

Cecilia's povI raised an eyebrow as I spotted her.So this was Remy's game.Alpha Sebastian walked toward the gathering.I hung back deliberately, knowing better than to follow too closely.This was supposed to be a wine tasting, but inserting myself would seem strange.One misstep and I might find myself unwillingly recruited as the eleventh beauty of the evening.Then I'd have to deal with unwanted touches on my hands and legs.Even with Alpha Sebastian's protection, the damage would be done, and I couldn't exactly smash a wine bottle over someone's head in retaliation.Besides, I had a more important mission tonight:[Mind these people who try to slip anything into Alpha Sebastian's drink.]I positioned myself where I could observe the entire room's dynamics without being too conspicuous.The great hall was arranged with several sofas forming a massive square, with multiple coffee tables placed at staggered intervals between them.When Alpha Sebastian approached, he ignored the sea

Chapter 87 You Could Try Damage Control

Cecilia's povMindy froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.I watched as Remy's face twitched with shock.His careful plan was crumbling right before our eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction.Everyone expected Alpha Sebastian to be a gentleman.Everyone thought he would protect this innocent young woman.But reality had other plans.The awkwardness hung thick in the air-like watching a meticulously rehearsed play where one actor suddenly goes off-script, leaving the rest of the cast stumbling in uncertainty.I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from smiling.[That's my boss, venomous as wolfsbane!]Relief washed through me.For a moment there, I'd actually worried he might be interested in the girl.Honestly, if he'd fallen for this obvious trap, I'd have had no choice but to mourn his lack of judgment and watch him get played.As his secretary, what else could I possibly do?Mindy remained standing, looking like she might collapse at any moment."Come on,

Chapter 88 She Bailed On That Mission

Cecilia's povThe moment I heard Remy mention a late-night snack, my internal alarm bells started ringing.I caught the silent signals he exchanged with one of his companions, and my suspicions immediately grew.There was no way I was letting Alpha Sebastian get involved in whatever scheme they had in mind.I walked over to him with measured, deliberate steps—trying my best to appear calm and collected even though tension was coiling in my chest.When I reached his side, I said loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, "Alpha Sebastian, your nutritionist strictly advises any eating after 9:30. I think we should skip this late supper."His deep eyes softened as they met mine."Listen to you." he replied warmly, and I felt my heart flutter.Almost immediately, Remy's face darkened. "You sure have a lot of authority over our Alpha Sebastian, Cecilia," he snapped.I flashed him the professional smile I'd perfected over the years. "I wouldn't dream of overstepping, Mr. Remy. But Luna Regina

Chapter 89 Dangerous Games

Cecilia's pov"All I have is fruit," I said helplessly, gesturing to the plate I'd arranged.Alpha Sebastian's brow smoothed out as he considered the offering, then gave a slight nod of understanding.For a moment, I thought he was going to let it go—but then he pulled out his phone and called for someone to deliver ingredients.Seriously? At this hour?How hungry could he possibly be?By the time the ingredients arrived and I'd finished cooking, it was already 11 PM.To my surprise, Alpha Sebastian ate with obvious enjoyment.Watching him devour the meal I'd prepared, I wondered if I'd been seriously underestimating my culinary skills all this time.Maybe I could give Liam a run for his money—hell, maybe I could even compete for a Michelin star.By 11:45, I was fighting to keep my eyes open.Between yesterday's restless night and that brief afternoon nap, exhaustion was hitting me hard. When we went upstairs and Alpha Sebastian headed toward his office, I didn't bother asking if he ne

Chapter 90 Ice and Fire

Cecilia's povAfter a moment's silence, Alpha Sebastian arched an eyebrow."Are you deliberately punishing me?""I swear to God!" I clutched my chest dramatically."I'm trying to save you!Do you think hauling all this ice up here was easy? Your lack of appreciation is honestly heartbreaking!"Alpha Sebastian lifted one muscular arm from the icy water and rested it on the edge of the tub. His pale skin had taken on an almost ethereal translucence from the cold."Then I should thank you for your exceptional care. Perhaps I should award you MOST DEVOTED SECRETARY OF THE YEAR ?""I'll accept that award with pride," I replied without missing a beat.Alpha Sebastian stared at my face before breaking into a laugh—the kind that comes when someone has pushed you beyond frustration into reluctant amusement.He'd been soaking for over an hour.His handsome face had turned nearly translucent from the cold."I think that's enough," he said, making a move to stand up."Absolutely not!"I rushed forw
