CHAPTER 240

Aiden“Your girlfriend called.” Darla passes my phone to me. “I picked up. Hope you don’t mind.”“What did she say?” I take my phone from her, opening my call log with every intention to call her back. “She didn’t say. It didn’t seem important though because she said she’d rather speak to you tomorrow.”“Right.” I drop my phone on the table. Just then, Spencer and my mother enter the dinning hall.This last minute dinner, I never would have showed up to it if they didn’t send Darla to bring me. It’s as if they knew that I wouldn’t say no to her. “Son,” Spencer invades my personal space. For an alarming moment, I think he’s about to hug me. But he merely pats my arm before he moves on to take his seat. My mother on the other hand, envelopes me in a warm embrace. “Hello mother.” I pat my shoulders awkwardly. “You cruel little devil,” she lets go of me. “I barely saw you during the summer. Can’t believe we had to make dear Darla here guilt trip you into having a late dinner with us

CHAPTER 241

AidenThe first official hockey practice of the semesterturns aggressive pretty fast. The new guys are pretty thirsty to make their mark and keep antagonizing one another.One of the new guys playing forward is ruthless on the ice. While that’s not a bad thing—I mean it’ll definitely come in handy against rival teams—I just wish he’d tone it down a little.No such luck. Peterson is playing center for our practice game, facing off against a freshman called Cody. Cody might be a freshman but he’s quick. He steals the puck and skates down the enemies’ half of the rink.He barely makes it far before someone slams into him from the side. The force is so vicious, it sends him crashing into the dasher board.A few of the players cuss out loud, hissing like they’re the ones who have just been attacked.The attacker takes the puck and passes it on to a team player. What happens next takes everyone by surprise.Cody jumps up to his feet and gives chase to the left winger, who had attacked him.

CHAPTER 242

Willow“He wants you to give him a second chance?” I snort. “He’s got to be kidding. And what’s that bit about wanting to serve you? Wait, he actually said that to you?”“I know. It’s weird.” I sigh. “He must have asked Spencer to set it all up. I can’t exactly ask him not to. At the same time, it’s unnerving to know that we’ll be training closely together.”“He must be planning to learn everything the company has to teach you. And then, when the time is right, he’s gonna try to take you out.”“That’s what I think.” Aiden’s voice is grim. “I’ll set up a meeting with Spencer after I get back from the palace.”“You’re going to the palace?” I grin at him. “Look at you. You’re not CEO yet and you’re already scoring invitations to the royal palace.”Aiden rolls his eyes at me. “It’s not that deep. The lycan king merely wishes to behold the idiot, who’s not fit to fill Spencer’s great shoes.”“Fuck that.” I lean into him, tightening my arms around his waist. “I think you’re more than capabl

CHAPTER 243

Willow“What’s going on here?” Aiden comes up behind me. He must have caught sight of Theo and I talking and naturally assumed that he was harassing me.To be fair, Theo has done plenty of that in the past so I don’t blame my boyfriend for assuming the worst. “Aiden.” Theo smiles that annoying little smile, that’s starting to piss me off. “Good to see you. How are you enjoying the bonfire tonight?”“Theo.” Aiden acknowledges him with a nod. “What were you just saying to my girlfriend?”“It’s fine, sweetie.” I wrap my arms around his neck, leaning up to kiss his cheek. Out of the corner of my eye, I spy Theo watching us with that carefully curated expression. “I was just saying hi to Theo. That’s all.”It must be hell, struggling to stay calm. Whatever he’s planning, it must be really important, seeing how badly he’s trying not to react to us.I meant what I said to him. If he tries to hurt Aiden in anyway, I won’t stay still. And I know my friends won’t either. Ginny is close friends

CHAPTER 244

WillowSome guy named Cody is dead. He was a newly recruited player on the omega hockey team. The way he died is what everyone is trying to figure out. Lycan guards arrive on campus. Bonfire night is officially over. The she-wolf who had found Cody’s body—her name is Deena. She’s questioned by the guards. Her memories are checked to collaborate her claims. The omega hockey players are interrogated as well. Everyone claims not to have seen Cody for hours… everyone except Nathan.Aiden is the one who fills me in on his report to the guards. “Nathan had spoken to Cody an hour after he died, to apologize the way I asked him to.”“You sure that’s all that transpired between them?” I ask him, but my eyes are fastened on the gunnery, currently conveying Cody’s mangled body into the ambulance.“No way to tell. Plus, he’s got a strong alibi… Ginny… he’s been with her for most of the night.”“Did a werewolf really do that to him?” I swallow the lump in my throat. “It wasn’t a vampire? Or a hy

CHAPTER 245

VioletMeeting the dirtbag that nearly ruined my life isn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. But it’s one that needs to be carried out. I’ve spent several weeks hating myself; blaming myself for not being perceptive or strong enough to resist a vampire’s tricks. I’ve heard from Willow and Ginny, even Vincent about how much Rowan has suffered all summer. But now, I get to see it. The floor where they are keeping him looks like a lab. Like something a mad scientist would own. It’s all one huge giant space, comprised of work stations, operation tables, glass encasements. Turns out Rowan is being held in one of those glass encasements. The moment I set my eyes on him, I gasp. I actually take a couple of steps backwards and cover my mouth with my hands. Willow gasps too. She must have been oblivious to the extent of damage that’s been done to Rowan. “You two can leave at any time,” Vincent reminds us. Yeah, I know that. I know that no one is forcing me to be here. I can turn around r

CHAPTER 246

AidenI’ve been granted a temporary office at headquarters.My trial period, as Darla likes to call it, entails learning everything there is to know about Spencer’s business. In addition to that, I have to work hard to impress the board. Hence the office. “The more often those old gas bags see you at headquarters, the more likely they are to take you seriously.” Darla turns around to wink at me. She’s arrived at my place with a car that Spencer had arranged to bring me to headquarters.“But I won the trials. Why do I have to try so hard?” I roll my eyes at the way Darla is smiling patiently at me. “That’s because there are always those looking to take away everything the boss has worked so hard to build. If you don’t prove yourself now, Aiden, I’m afraid your opponents won’t hesitate to come at you, once you become the president of the corporation.”President. The amount of dread that single word carries should be studied. “Fine.” I let out a heavy breath. “I already went throug

CHAPTER 247

Aiden“I know you’re still very suspicious of me,” Theo holds his hand out. “Father was right. We need to put our issues aside, if we’re going to work together effectively.”He must have overheard my conversation with Spencer. That must be why he’s saying this.I don’t shake his outstretched hand. I just continue to observe him wordlessly. Theo sees I’m not going to shake his hand and puts it away. He rounds the table to stand in front of me. “Think about it, brother. What else could I possibly do to take away what you’ve got now? I was at today’s meeting. I saw how everyone regarded you. You’re the successor. Everyone seems to thinks so. You’re safe. You can relax. I have no ill intentions towards you.”“I see you’re still hellbent on keeping this act up, even though I can see right through it.” I sigh, shaking my head at him. “Fine. Have it your way, brother. But just so you know, whatever you plan to do, be it now or later, it’s not going to work.”“I’m not planning anything other

CHAPTER 248

TheoShe’s here.I can feel her presence in my living room. As I turn the door knob, I’m trying to fight the urge to just kick the door in.I enter my apartment and sure enough, Darla is standing in the middle of my living room, hands propped on her hips.I shut the door with a bang and storm towards her. “What the fuck did I say about showing up here without informing me?”She’s not scared of me. Not in the slightest. Infact, she matches my glare with an even more intense look. “Did you kill the hockey player?”“What? No.” I scowl deeper. “Is that what you came here to ask me? I told you before and I’ll say it again, you have no right to break into my space. The next time you do, I won’t be so nice.”“You must have had someone do it,” she insists, holding my scalding gaze. “Who was it? And why? Is this about Aiden? Was this your way of unnerving him?”“Fine,” I seethe, clenching my fists at my sides. “I killed the idiot. But don’t worry. I didn’t do it myself. I had someone else do i

CHAPTER 249

AidenThe royal palace isn’t any different from what I’ve seen on T.V.A castle with red carpets rolled out for visiting guests. And that’s one of the things that makes the palace so revered. To visit, you’d have to be sent an invitation.The lycan king is unable to make time for just anyone. Spencer’s exact words. Which is why those invited to meet with him have to treat it as the greatest honour. King Lucien Dimitri doesn’t look a day older than thirty. No surprise there. Lycans tend to outlive regular werewolves. Back in high school, we’d studied the history of the lycan king during history class. According to the books, he was born three hundred years ago. Had fought in so many wars, against so many foes. Eventually settled down and built our lycan city from the ground up. Of course he had founding families, like the Thompsons, to help build and uphold his legacy.That’s one of the reasons why the Thompsons are so revered. Aside from being filthy rich, their connections to the l
