GONE

OPRAH’S POV"Looking for someone?"The voice came from directly behind me. Low. Calm. Too calm.Every muscle in my body locked. My heart slammed against my ribs like it wanted to escape. Cold sweat prickled along my spine. I knew that voice. I did not know how, but something deep inside me recognized it. It was as if I had met the owner beforw. My instincts screamed at me not to turn around.But I did. Slowly.A man stood a few feet away. Tall. Broad-shouldered. His face was partially shadowed by the dim lighting, but I could see enough. Sharp jawline. Dark eyes that seemed to pierce straight through me. He was not smiling. He did not need to. His presence alone commanded the space around him. And...there was something dangerous about this man. I didn’t know what, but I just felt out of place being in front of him. My body screamedfor me to run. But not anymore. "Indeed it has been years, and you've changed to a confident amd bold woman," he said quietly. His voice carried no threat,

RESTROOM

DERRICK’S POV"I really do not want to know." Oprah said. Her emotionless mask stayed firmly in place, but her face looked paler than before.Something was wrong. I could feel it in my bones. It was as if she had seen a ghost. Her fists balled tightly at her sides."Now if you will excuse me, I need to use the restrooms." She continued. Before I could react, she walked past me and headed in the other direction.I swallowed hard. I did not know what to say or how to react.I knew I should not be here. I knew I should not be this close to her. But I could not stay away.When I saw her rushing toward the entrance earlier, I knew something was wrong. My wolf had confirmed it. I had seen the man from earlier. She had been staring at him, and he at her. When she bolted out, I knew she was going after him.That was why I left the ballroom immediately after Lilith stepped down from the stage. She had welcomed the master of ceremonies to continue with the fundraising. She then told me she need

DELUSIONAL

OPRAH’S POV "Tell me what you have found out about Maribeth Beatrice Santos' death." The words tasted like bitter fruit in my mouth. One hand rested on my thigh, clenched into a fist. My heart throbbed hard, threatening to explode. "I was waiting to report to you after the gala, ma’am." "Then do not waste my time. Report." I blurted out, closing my eyes tightly. Lilith’s words still replayed in my head. "I have found something, ma’am. But I do not think we should discuss it over the phone." At the voice, I heaved a deep sigh, trying to compose myself. He was right. Maybe the information he had was too important to discuss like this. "Okay. Meet me at my house in an hour." With that, I ended the call and straightened my dress. When I was sure I had calmed down, I turned to the mirror, gazed at my reflection, then walked out of the bathroom with a fake smile on my face. The chaos in my head remained hidden. "Can we talk?" The voice made me halt my steps. I slowly turned

PERFECT GALA

OPRAH’S POVThe car hummed softly along the dark road. Streetlights flickered past the windows in steady rhythm. I sat in the passenger seat with my hands folded tightly in my lap. The emerald gown felt heavier now, as if it carried the weight of the entire evening. My red hair, once perfectly styled, had loosened in places. A few strands fell across my face, but I made no move to push them away.Alexander drove with one hand on the wheel. His other rested on the gear shift. He kept glancing at me every few seconds. I could feel his concern without him saying a word. The silence between us stretched longer than usual. I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur into streaks of gold and white. My mind refused to quiet.The mysterious man’s face kept flashing behind my eyes. His calm voice. The way he had looked at me as if he knew every secret I carried. "You have grown." Those three words had lodged themselves in my chest like thorns. Who was he? How did he know me? The que

AFTER THE GALA

OPRAH’S POVThe penthouse door clicked shut behind us. The quiet inside felt almost too heavy after the noise of the gala. I kicked off my heels the moment I stepped inside. The cool marble floor soothed my aching feet, but it did nothing to calm the storm in my chest. Alexander walked beside me. His hand brushed my lower back for a brief second, steady and warm. I appreciated the silent support.Zarek was already asleep upstairs. Regina had sent a message earlier confirming he had gone to bed without any trouble. The thought of my son resting peacefully brought a small measure of comfort. At least one part of my world remained safe tonight. I took a slow breath and tried to hold onto that feeling.The investigator was already waiting in the living room. He sat on the edge of the couch with a thick file on his lap, several photographs spread across the coffee table, and a laptop open beside him. His face looked serious. Sweat glistened on his forehead despite the cool air conditioning

AFTER THE GALA 2

DERRICK’S POVI stared at the man chained to the chair in the dim basement. Mixed emotions churned inside me. I did not know whether to thank the Goddess for finally getting my hands on him or fear who he truly was."Who sent you to stalk her?" I bellowed. My fists clenched tightly at my sides that I was sure they would turn pale any time.I did not want to get my hands dirty this late at night after the gala, but this man was forcing my hand."Speak!" I growled. I lunged forward, grabbed him by the neck, and squeezed. My teeth ground together.To my shock, the man broke into a suffocating laugh. He kept laughing even as his face turned red. His hands and legs remained tied, but they were shakin,, yet he showed no real fear in his eyes."I cannot believe someone is still acting like the knight in shining armor."I loosened my grip and pulled my hand away. His laugh did something to me. It made me feel embarrassed and something else I didn't want to admit to myself, but I refused to le

AFTER THE GALA 3

LILITH’S POVThe door to my house slammed shut behind me. I kicked off my heels with such force that one flew across the room and cracked against the far wall. The sound echoed through the empty space. My chest heaved. My hands shook as I tore the expensive earrings from my ears and threw them onto the marble floor. They skittered away like worthless pebbles.Everything had gone wrong.I grabbed a crystal vase from the side table and hurled it against the wall. It shattered into a thousand pieces. The sound brought a maid rushing into the room. Her eyes widened at the mess."Clean it up." My voice came out sharp. "And you are fired. Get out."The girl stammered something, but I did not listen. I waved her away and walked deeper into the living room. My bare feet stepped on shards of glass. Pain pricked my skin, but I welcomed it. It matched the fury burning inside me.I stopped in front of the large mirror. My reflection stared back at me. My makeup had started to run. My hair, once p

BEFORE THE MEETING

OPRAH’S POVThe morning light filtered softly through the curtains as I helped Zarek get ready for school. I adjusted his little tie with careful fingers. My hands moved steadily, but inside my chest my heart raced with fear. The thought of him being away from me, even for a few hours, sent cold dread through my veins. I knew Alexander had hired shadow guards to watch over him. I knew they were the best. But still, the fear would not leave me. What if something slipped through? What if Lilith or the mysterious man found a way? I forced a gentle smile onto my face. Zarek did not need to see the terror I carried. He needed his mother to be strong."You look so handsome today," I said softly. I brushed a stray lock of his dark hair back from his forehead. My fingers lingered for a second longer than necessary. I wanted to memorize every detail of him. His big hazel eyes. His single dimple. The way he carried himself with a confidence far beyond his four years.Zarek stared up at me. His

THE MEETING

OPRAH’S POVThe morning sun filtered through the trees as Sebastian drove us toward the address. My hands rested in my lap. My fingers twisted together. The mysterious man’s words from the gala still echoed in my head. I had barely slept. Every time I remembered how he stared at me, how he talked to me.I glanced at Sebastian. His hands gripped the steering wheel. His jaw remained set. He had insisted on coming with me. I appreciated his protectiveness, but I could not let him follow me all the way.The car slowed as we reached the park. Tall trees lined the entrance. Families walked along the paths. Children laughed in the distance. The normalcy of the scene felt strange after everything that had happened."Stop here." My voice came out firmer than I felt.Sebastian turned to me. His eyes showed clear disagreement. "I am not leaving you alone.""It is a public park." I met his gaze. "He would not try anything bad in front of so many people. Besides," I pointed at his phone that was r

MEETING ALPHA DOMINIC

DERRICK’S POVI stared at Lucas across the table. My hands rested on the wood. My fingers pressed into the grain. The decision weighed on me like a mountain."Are you ready?" My voice came out low.Lucas met my eyes. His expression remained steady. "Yes, Alpha."I nodded once. We stood together. The room felt smaller than usual. The air carried the scent of old wood and tension. I walked toward the door. My steps echoed in the quiet space. Lucas followed close behind.We stepped outside. The packhouse grounds stretched before us. The morning light cast long shadows across the grass. My wolf stirred inside my head. Kaden’s presence felt restless. He sensed the importance of this journey.Lucas fell into step beside me as we headed toward the cars. "Are you sure you want to do this?" His voice carried caution.I nodded. My jaw tightened. "I am sure."The drive felt endless. The road stretched ahead. Trees blurred past the windows. My hands gripped the steering wheel. My knuckles turned
