Chapter 71

Alpha Vlad~I should not be sitting here pretending to work when my mind is still buried between Milena’s thighs. The memory of her soft moans, the way her body clenched around me, the way she cried my name like she both hated and needed me, it refuses to leave. I grip the quill tighter, forcing the tip down onto the thick paper in front of me. Ink bleeds slightly as I scratch out another line of numbers. The ledger is old-fashioned, the way I prefer it. Some things in this modern world still feel better when done the old way.Kane leans against the far wall near the window, arms crossed over his chest, watching the city lights flicker in the distance through the reinforced glass. Zoran sits in the leather chair opposite me, flipping through another thick stack of printed reports with a bored expression. The room is quiet except for the occasional rustle of paper and the low hum of the heater.“Another three bodies found near the eastern ridge,” Zoran says, sliding the printed report

Chapter 72

Alpha Vlad~I push the door of my private quarters shut with more force than necessary. The solid click echoes in the empty room like a fucking judgment. My chest feels tight, heavy with so much concern I wish I can put down. The news from the guard still burns in my head — humans bringing more of their kind into my territory, setting up near the old ruins. Still, I'm yet to find the mole around me. The bastard whom I believe works with my old rag. My people are fucking dying, and in due time, they will lose the litle trust they had in me and will request that my old rag rule over them once again.And then, there is the rumor on the other side. Another truth hanging against my neck. The Knights. Milena’s bloodline. If it’s indeed true, Milena will find out everything. She will learn what I did twenty years ago. She will learn the man who mated her is the same coward who helped destroy her family.She won’t fucking forgive me though I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve anything good f

Chapter 73

Milena~I stand frozen in the middle of Dragomir’s chamber, my back pressed against the maze wall. My heart is pounding so hard it feels like it wants to break out of my chest. Dragomir is pacing in front of me like a caged animal, his green eyes dark with rage. Every step he takes makes my stomach twist tighter, fear creeping up to my throat.I can still feel the soreness between my thighs from last night. The reminder of what I did with Vladimir. The shame is choking me. It sits on my chest like a heavy stone that won’t move.“You smell like him,” Dragomir says, stopping right in front of me. His eyes blazed hard. “You smell like my brother all over your skin. Did you let him fuck you, Lena? Did you spread your legs for that bastard while wearing my crown?”My stomach drops almost touching the ground as my body trembles. I shake my head quickly, my voice coming out shaky and weak. “No. Nothing happened. I swear on my life. How do I make this monster not make my life anymore miserabl

Chapter 74

Milena~The door slams shut behind Dragomir, leaving the chamber in heavy silence that presses down on my chest like a mountain of stones. I lie there on the bed for what feels like forever, the torn pieces of the green Victorian gown barely covering my body. My limbs feel heavy, broken. I try to stand. Goddess, I try so hard. I push myself up on shaky elbows, but the soreness attacks me immediately. My pussy burns with fierce, raw pain, throbbing as if it is still being torn apart from the inside. Every small shift sends sharp fire radiating through my core. It hurts so much I hiss through clenched teeth and collapse back onto the edge of the bed, legs trembling.Tears fill my eyes and spill over before I can stop them. I break out crying hard, loud ugly sobs shaking my entire body. The irritation burns inside me hotter than the pain between my legs. Irritated at this weak body that keeps betraying me. Irritated at how easily both Ryder brothers used me. Irritated at Nana for staying

Chapter 75

Milena~My heart slams against my ribcage as I stare at the familiar face in front of me. Stefan. The curly blonde-haired thief from that doomed ship. The one who sat beside me, shared an apple, stole a royal crest, and told me to jump into the cold sea when Vladimir’s forces arrived. How is he here? How did he survive that night? How did he escape Vladimir’s reach and end up in this market in Duskwarren, of all places? The questions spin wildly in my head while the soreness from earlier fades into the background of my thoughts. I thought he was caught. I thought Vladimir would have punished him severely for helping me. Yet here he stands, smirking like the whole world is still a game to him.Honestly, how did he find me? Did he follow me? Or is this some cruel coincidence arranged by the Goddess to remind me of my failed escape? I jumped into the water thinking I was leaving everything behind. Now the past is standing right in front of me, calling me debtor like nothing has change

Chapter 76

Milena~I open my mouth to speak, the questions still burning on my tongue. How did Stefan survive that night? What does he mean his life and freedom depend on being my guard? Before the words can leave me, the distant sound of horses stomping cuts through the market noise like thunder. My heart jumps. Vera’s grip on my hand tightens instantly.“We need to return to the packhouse now,” she whispers urgently, already pulling me backward. “Alpha Dragomir’s men are out. They shouldn’t find us here.”Stefan reaches out quickly, trying to grab my other arm. “Milena, wait—”I push him off hard, my palm hitting his chest. “Don’t touch me.” The words come out sharper than I intend, but I have no time for explanations. Vera and I turn and move fast through the crowd, slipping between stalls and people. My mind races the entire way. Stefan… he is a thief. Desperate. He said his life depends on it. Maybe he is useful. A tool. Someone outside Dragomir’s control. I need to find a way to meet him a
