Chapter 81: You Sound Tired

Melina's POVShe made it through breakfast by not going to breakfast.Six AM came and went. She stayed in her room with the door locked and her back pressed against it listening for footsteps in the corridor that never came.Aiden didn't come looking for her.That should have been a relief.It felt like abandonment instead.She sat on the edge of her bed at seven AM staring at nothing. Her body ached in places that reminded her exactly what had happened last night. The tender soreness between her legs. The marks on her hips where his fingers had gripped. The slight rawness of her throat from screaming his name.She'd screamed his name.Multiple times.She pressed her palms against her eyes and tried to find something....anything that felt like the person she'd been two months ago.That person had been focused. Determined. Clear about what needed to be done.This person couldn't finish a thought without it sliding sideways into the memory of Aiden's hands or his mouth or the way he'd l

Chapter 82: She's Mine Now

"How thoroughly?" Archer's voice had gone lower."Very thoroughly." Aiden met his brother's eyes. "She's mine now. Whether she wants to admit it or not."Alaric's expression didn't change but something in his silver eyes sharpened. "Did she tell you about the Lunasol?""No. Just that her mother is dying and she doesn't know how to save her." Aiden pulled out his phone. Showed them the text he'd sent to Edmund at three AM. "But she's close. Very close."Alaric read the text. Nodded slowly. "Edmund thinks she'll break completely within the week.""She's already broken," Aiden said quietly. "She just hasn't accepted it yet.""Then we make her accept it." Archer stood up. Started pacing. That restless energy finding an outlet. "We keep pushing. Keep occupying her. Keep making sure she can't think about anything except us.""Carefully," Alaric said. His voice was firm. "She's fragile. We push too hard and she'll shatter instead of bend.""She won't shatter." Aiden's voice was certain. "She

Chapter 83: She Told Edward The Truth

Melina's POVThe stable door was open.Morning light slanted through in those same golden bars she'd come to associate with safety. With quiet. With the one person on this entire estate who didn't make her feel like she was drowning.She stepped inside.Edmund was with Silver. Brushing her coat in those same steady rhythmic strokes. He looked up when she entered.His expression shifted immediately."Sera." He set the brush down. Came toward her. "What's wrong?"She couldn't answer. Couldn't make her voice work.He guided her to the bench outside. Sat her down gently. Disappeared into the tack room and came back with coffee.She took it with shaking hands.He sat beside her. Didn't ask questions. Just sat there with that quiet steady presence and waited.The words came eventually."I talked to my mother this morning."Edmund went very still beside her."She sounded worse. Weaker. She could barely breathe properly." Melina's voice cracked. "She asked when I could visit. Said she'd reall

Chapter 84: She Told Me About Her Mother

Edmund's POVEdmund stood in the stable doorway watching her walk away.His hands were shaking.He'd just lied to Cain Voss's daughter. Had looked her in the eyes and pretended he didn't know exactly who she was or why she was really here or that the Lunasol she needed was already prepared and waiting in the medical wing.Had pretended he was just a kind old stable worker who might know someone who could help.The guilt sat heavy in his chest.But the alternative was worse.If he'd told her the truth right now, if he'd said "I know who you are, I know about your father, I have the Lunasol ready, here it is".....she would have taken it and run. Would have disappeared back to her mother's hospital and never looked back.Would have never learned that she belonged here. That she was fated to stay. That his grandsons were already so deep in love with her that losing her would break them.No.She needed to choose this. Needed to choose them. Needed to understand that the Lunasol wasn't char

Chapter 85: The Three Days of Hope

Day One - MorningMelina's POVShe went to the stables at dawn.She'd barely slept. Had spent most of the night staring at the ceiling thinking about Edmund's words."I might know someone who has access to it.""Give me a few days."A few days. That's all she had to hold onto. A few days of hope that maybe....just maybe....there was a way out of this that didn't involve stealing or running or losing everything.The stable door was open. Morning light slanting through in those familiar golden bars.Edmund was there. Always there.He looked up when she entered. Smiled that warm gentle smile."Morning, Sera.""Morning." She stayed near the door. Uncertain. "I know you said a few days but I just....I needed to know if....""Come sit." He gestured to the bench. "I have coffee ready."She sat. Took the coffee he offered with shaking hands.Edmund settled beside her. Quiet for a moment. Then: "I reached out last night. To the person I mentioned."Her heart stopped. "And?""And they're willin

Chapter 86: Day Two

"Aren't they?" Alaric moved to his desk. Sat down. "She was willing to do anything to save someone she loves. We're willing to do anything to keep someone we love. The methods are different. The desperation is the same."The room was quiet for a moment."Three days," Archer said finally. "What do we do for three days?""We watch her," Alaric said. "We let her have hope. We let her be light for the first time. We let her think everything is going to be simple and easy and fine.""And then?""And then we show her the contract. And we find out if she loves her mother more than she hates us."****Day Two - MorningMelina's POVShe went to the stables again.Couldn't help herself. Needed to see Edmund. Needed to hear him confirm that yesterday wasn't a dream.He was there. With Silver. Brushing her coat in those same steady strokes.He looked up when she entered. Smiled."Right on time," he said."I couldn't sleep." She came to stand beside the stall. "I kept thinking I imagined yesterday

Chapter 87: After she signs, we claim what's ours

Melina's POVShe was working in the east wing when Lucy found her."Sera!" Lucy's cheerful voice echoed down the corridor. "There you are!"Melina turned. "What's wrong?""Nothing's wrong! Alpha Aiden just wanted me to tell you that you're off duty for the rest of the day.""What? Why?"Lucy shrugged. "He didn't say. Just said you've been working too hard and you deserve a break. So go rest! Read a book! Do something nice for yourself!"She bounced away before Melina could respond.Melina stood in the corridor confused.Aiden was giving her the afternoon off. Without explanation. Without being asked.She should have been suspicious. Should have wondered what he wanted. What any of them wanted.But she was too full of hope to be suspicious.Too full of relief to question kindness.She went to her room. Actually rested. Read a book. Took a long bath.Let herself feel something other than fear for the first time in months.***She went to the stables one last time.This was it. The day E

Chapter 88: The Preparation

Alaric's POV - 2 PMThe contract sat on Alaric's desk like a weapon.Seven pages. Carefully worded. Legally binding. Every clause designed to keep her exactly where they needed her.Where they wanted her.Alaric read through it one more time. Not because he needed to, he'd memorized every word.....but because precision mattered. Details mattered.One oversight and she'd find a loophole. One vague clause and she'd slip through their fingers.He wouldn't allow that.His door opened. Aiden came in first. Then Archer. Neither knocked anymore. Not when it was just the three of them."Lucy has the message ready," Aiden said. He sat in the chair across from the desk. "She'll deliver it at five PM exactly. 'Alpha Alaric requests your presence in his private quarters at six PM.'""She'll ask which quarters," Archer said. He was pacing already. That restless energy that never quite settled. "She'll want to know if it's your office or your room.""Lucy will tell her to come to my room," Alaric s

Chapter 89: The Confrontation

Archer's POV - 4 PMArcher was in the gym.Hitting the heavy bag with more force than necessary. Working off energy that had nowhere else to go.He'd been restless for days. Since the moment Grandfather confirmed she was ready. Since the moment Alaric said "Tonight. We do this tonight."Tonight.The word sat in his chest like a weight.Tonight they'd tell her everything. Show her the contract. Make her choose between her mother's life and her freedom.It wasn't a fair choice. Wasn't even really a choice.But it was the only way to keep her.His phone buzzed. He ignored it. Hit the bag harder.It buzzed again.He pulled it out. Alaric.Alaric: Where are you?Archer: Gym.Alaric: Come to my office. Now.Archer grabbed his towel. Headed upstairs.***Alaric's office was too quiet when Archer arrived.Both his brothers were there. Alaric at the window. Aiden at the desk."What's wrong?" Archer asked."Nothing's wrong." Alaric turned from the window. "I wanted to make sure we're all clear

Chapter 90: You Know My Father?

Melina's POVThe room was too quiet.Three men. Three sets of eyes. All of them on her.Alaric standing in the center like a judge pronouncing sentence. Aiden by the window, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Archer in the chair, leg no longer bouncing, completely still.And her real name hanging in the air between them like an accusation.Melina."How long have you known?" Her voice came out steadier than she felt."Since before you arrived," Alaric said. His silver eyes were cold. Calm. "Your application was flagged immediately. False identity. Constructed background. We ran the biometric cross-reference and found your real name within hours."Her stomach dropped. "Then why....""Why did we hire you anyway?" Alaric's mouth curved slightly. Not a smile. Something colder. "Because we wanted to see what you'd do. Wanted to watch you plan. Wanted to understand exactly why Cain Voss's daughter would walk into our estate with a fake name and desperation all over her face."She couldn't
