Alle Kapitel von Mated to My Intended's Enemy: Kapitel 131 – Kapitel 140

A month later.The sky above Shadow Pack territory glowed with the amber hues of sunset as Emma and Tiny exchanged their sacred vows beneath a canopy of intertwined branches. My best friend looked radiant in her simple white dress adorned with moonstone beads that caught the fading light. Tiny, usually intimidating in his Beta role, gazed at Emma with such tender devotion it brought tears to my eyes."By the bond of moon and heart, I claim you as mine," Tiny's deep voice carried across the gathering, his massive hands gentle as they cradled Emma's much smaller ones."And I claim you, my wolf, my mate, my forever," Emma responded, her voice steady despite the tears shimmering in her eyes.Leo stood beside me, one arm wrapped protectively around my now prominent baby bump. At seven months pregnant, our son made his presence known with frequent, powerful kicks that never failed to bring a possessive gleam to Leo's eyes."She looks happy," I whispered to Leo as Emma and Tiny sealed their u

FreyaAfter a quiet weekend,Monday morning arrived with cruel punctuality.I stepped into Stone Lake Tower at eight sharp,my heels clicking across the marble floor. From the outside,nothing had changed—same glass walls,same sharp-suited executives bowing their heads when they saw me,the Gamma who kept the Alpha's empire from collapsing under its own weight.Inside,though,I was already halfway gone. The resignation papers had been signed. My place here was a countdown,not a future.Still,old habits died hard. I poured myself into my work,lining up Jasper's schedule,preparing notes for the board meeting that afternoon,and running through the usual tasks that only I could do with precision. By nine,I was heading toward his office with a folder in hand.The door was ajar. I pushed it open an inch,intending to announce myself—then froze.Mia was curled up on Jasper's lap,delicate as porcelain,feeding him half of a cookie.The alpha who once mocked germaphobes,who refused to share drinks eve

Freya"I'd rather dance," I said boldly.Silvano's smile widened,revealing perfect white teeth. "Even better."On the dance floor,his hands found my waist,pulling me against him with a surety that sent sparks racing across my skin. I couldn't remember the last time I'd felt this—the simple,uncomplicated pleasure of attraction,of being wanted,of wanting in return."You're different," he murmured against my ear as we moved together. "Not like the usual women here.""Is that a good thing?"His fingers traced a line down my spine. "Very good."When his lips finally met mine,it was electric—hungry and demanding in a way that made me forget everything else. He tasted like bourbon and desire,and my wolf howled in approval."Come home with me," he breathed against my lips,not a question but not quite a command either.I pulled back enough to look into his eyes. This wasn't love. This wasn't forever. This was just tonight—just what I needed to remember I was more than just Jasper's discarded sh

JasperI stared at the quarterly reports spread across my desk,the numbers blurring before my eyes. Three weeks. It had been three goddamn weeks since Freya walked out,and Stone Lake was crumbling beneath my fingers like wet sand."Alpha,the Henderson contract needs your signature immediately." My new assistant—what was his name again? Mark? Mike?—hovered anxiously in the doorway,clutching a folder that should have been organized,vetted,and summarized days ago."Put it with the others," I growled,gesturing to the mounting pile on the corner of my desk. My wolf,Leon,paced restlessly inside me,unsettled and irritable since Freya's departure.The assistant's eyes widened. "But sir,the deadline is—""I said put it with the others!" The force of my Alpha voice made the young wolf flinch and scurry to obey,nearly tripping over himself in his haste to escape my office.The moment the door closed,I dropped my head into my hands. This was the third meeting I'd missed this week alone. The financ

FreyaThe executive floor was eerily quiet when I stepped off the elevator. Timothy's office door was closed,but light spilled from beneath it. At least one competent person was still working.When I reached what had been my office—the command center from which I'd run Stone Lake's operations for eight years—I found it stripped bare. Not even my plants remained. A clear message: I had been erased.Artemis growled inside me,bristling at the insult. I soothed her with a promise. *We're not staying. This changes nothing.*I continued to Jasper's office,pausing at the threshold in absolute shock. The formerly elegant space,with its tasteful gray walls and masculine furniture,had been transformed into something from a teenage girl's fantasy. Bright Pink and mint green paint assaulted my eyes,gauzy curtains hung at the windows,and a vase of artificial flowers dominated his desk.The laughter bubbled up before I could stop it—deep,genuine laughter that bent me double. This was Mia's doing,cle
