Chapter 31 — Might as well make the slap true.

Lara's POVYou know, it all amuse me so much that she hasn't made away with this malicious and manipulative act of hers.I stood there with my hand still hand raised, staring at it, while the room buzzed with reaction around me. She had used my own hand…My own hand, that she had been holding, swung against her own face — and now she was sitting there with tears rolling down and her palm pressed to her cheek, performing pain in front of an audience that had no reason to question what they had just seen.She even wore the manipulation like a second skin now. Like it had become so natural to her that there was no gap between the decision and the execution anymore.And to think that everyone here was already buying this without a second thought … that was honestly what impressed me the most. But you know, not in a good way. Rather, it impressed me in the way that made you realise just how much practice went into a performance like that, and how long she had been doing it before anyone noti

Chapter 32 — Or have you suddenly lost it?

Alpha Lucien's POVI was so shocked and speechless that I couldn't help the thought creasing through my mind.‘I've never seen Lara act so bold. Is this really her?’Because the woman standing in front of me right now was not the Lara I had spent five years dismissing, not the Lara who had signed those divorce papers with shaking hands, not the Lara who had endured the expulsion ritual in silence with blood on her lips. This one gave out a ‘fuck you all’ energy that filled the entire space around her, and she wasn't performing it … it was just sitting on her, naturally, the way things sit on a person when they have genuinely stopped caring what you think of them.The room around us was still buzzing from the slaps. Half the people nearby were watching with their mouths slightly open. The other half were whispering to the people beside them. And Lara was standing in the middle of all of it looking completely unbothered.Then Raina's voice cut through, sharp with anger."Lara, you are ju

Chapter 33 — Such guts from her needed to be studied for real.

Raina's POV‘Did I just hear her well?’I replayed the sentence in my head. ‘I am the Alpha of the Moonshade clan.’ Which she said without flinching…Said to an Alpha who had just called her out in front of a room full of powerful people, and she had looked him dead in the face and said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.‘She's bluffing.’ That was the only explanation that made any sense. The Alpha of the Moonshade clan was one of the most talked-about, most feared, most sought-after leaders in all the land right now. Every pack here was falling over themselves to get an alliance with her. And Lara … miserable and inner wolf-less Lara, who I had last seen bleeding on a bathroom floor before she left the clan… was claiming to be her?No!! Absolutely not!I couldn't hold it to myself any longer. I needed to remind her of her place right now before this went any further."Lara, you don't even have an inner wolf." I said it clearly, making sure the people nearby could hear

Chapter 34- Not having that from him.

Lara's POV"Get out! We don't want you here! Leave! Get out!"The shout that was gradually turning into some half-baked protest continued from the audience, but I was so unshaken. Instead, I started clapping my palms slowly, giving out the most nonchalant energy you could ever imagine … the kind that said ‘I had heard everything they were saying and found none of it worth a single nerve ending.’One by one the voices began to die down. Not because anyone called for quiet…I guess because they must have noticed. As they could see that I genuinely gave the least care about any of it, and nothing kills a crowd's momentum faster than a target who refuses to be a target. The energy of a protest needs resistance to survive, and I was not offering them any. So they petered out, one voice after another, until the room was mostly just the sound of people realising the performance was not landing the way they intended.I stopped clapping, and then turned to Raina.Because she was the one who had

Chapter 35 — The Chairman steps in.

Lara's POV"Mr. Kane." Raina's voice came through immediately, sharp and pointed, directed at the council assistant who had just arrived at our spot like someone had summoned him on cue. She pointed her finger directly at me. "Well, it's her. She's the one who is impersonating the Alpha of Moonshade clan."I looked at Kane steadily. "You are Rylan's assistant."He straightened up as if the words had personally offended him. "You think that you are on a first name basis with the chairman?" He let out a short, disbelieving sound. "Unbelievable." Then he turned to his guards standing just behind him and gave the instruction without even looking back at me. "Take this woman away, right now."They started moving toward me.I raised one finger before any of them got within arm's reach of me, and the calmness in my own voice surprised even me. "I don't know if you are blind or if you just chose to be stupid." I held Kane's gaze directly. "But you will face the consequences of your actions."H

Chapter 36 — Is he fucking crazy?

Raina's POV"Mr. Rylan!" Kane called out the moment the chairman got close enough to hear him. And of course he was straightening himself up like a man who believed he was about to receive backup. "These two imposters were posing as the Alpha and Beta of the Moonshade clan." He gestured toward Lara and Draven with so much confidence and I admired that aspect of him so much. "But don't worry, I was just about to apprehend them before you got in here." He went on to add.The chairman looked at him.And before I could figure out what all of the gaze from the chairman was for, he slapped Kane really hard.The sound of it filled the immediate space around us — clean and sharp, the kind that made heads turn even from a distance. And before Kane had even fully processed the first one, Mr. Rylan slapped him on the other cheek without pausing, not even for a second, like he had already decided how many were necessary and was simply delivering them efficiently.Kane's hands flew to his face, at

Chapter 37 — I wouldn't fall for this, but…

Lara's POV"Really?" He replied and advanced toward me again, like my warning had simply not registered. "Nothing to say to me for real?"If I wasn't sure of anything at that point, I was at least sure of that … I was not intimidated by his words or the way he was closing the distance between us as if he had every right to."Yeah, nothing." I said it with all the boldness I had walked into this building with. "What is there to possibly talk…"He interrupted me mid-sentence."How about this?" He paused and then pointed his right fingers directly at me, like he was building a case. "How did you become the Moonshade clan's new Alpha?" He tilted his head slightly. "You really owe me a lot of explanation, more than you think."And then, the way he moved …in that slow, deliberate step forward that had always been specifically designed to get inside a person's guard … made me lose myself for just a fraction of a second. Just one fraction. That was all he needed.And then, he seized the moment

Chapter 38 — He shouldn't see us together.

Lara's POVFor a second, I quickly separated my lips from his to confirm what I was feeling.Because it wasn't something I could explain away as a moment or a reaction …or six years of unfinished business finally finding a surface to land on. It was something else. More like, something specific and unmistakable. Or better still, the kind of thing your wolf recognises before you do … before your brain has caught up and before you have given it permission.I looked at our hands. And it was still linked …His fingers around mine.And the bond was right there. Visible in the way that things between destined mates become visible when both wolves are present … a faint luminescence where our skin met and felt all warm, certain and completely unbothered by my feelings about it.‘Lucien is my destined mate?’ The thought moved through me and I genuinely did not know where to put it. ‘How is this possible?’I was in that much level of shock."Lara." Lucien's voice dropped to a whisper close to my

Chapter 39 — The wrong door.

Beta Draven's POVI don't think I was going to stop until I got this door open.That was the decision I had arrived at somewhere between the second and third time my knocking went unanswered. Not a rational decision, and it was not something I had talked myself into either — just a certainty that settled in my chest the way certainty does when the instinct behind it is too strong to argue with.I had seen her walk out of the main hall with him. I had watched it happen and given her the signal she asked for … ‘stand down, I have this’ — and I had stood down because Alpha Lara had not once in 6 years asked me to hold back when she did not mean it. She knew what she was doing and she communicated clearly. That was who she was since I got working with her.But she had been in there a long time now. And the door was locked. And she was not even answering… at least.From the other side of the door, I could hear things … faint, indistinct, then it was nothing I could pick apart into individua

Chapter 40 — The call came at the wrong time.

Lara's POVThe way Lucien was taking all of this so personally told me he was definitely up to something. And I needed to get out of whatever feeling he was trying so hard to put me in before it swallowed me completely.So I bit his lip… For the second time.He pulled back immediately, and before he could register what came next, my hand was already moving. The slap connected hard — hard enough that his face turned to the side from the force of it, and the sound of it in that small room was something neither of us was going to pretend we hadn't heard."Fucking asshole." I said it directly at him, not lowering my voice for anything.He touched the side of his face. Then he looked back at me, and … of all things … he chuckled."Oh, Lara." The sound of it was low and almost amused, which was somehow more infuriating than if he had been angry. "Did you just hit me or…"He said it with a tone that was clearly designed to make me feel like I was the one who had lost control. Or like I was th
