Brielle’s POVI scoffed in total surprise, watching Camellia freeze up beside me. I could smell the wave of pure anger rolling off her from a mile away, but before I could even open my mouth to defend her, Jayden beat me to it.“Coming from a gold digger who found her way into our family by sleeping around.”The words cut through the room without a single pause or delay. Everyone at the table shifted uncomfortably just as the dining room doors swung wide. The maids walked in, holding heavy plates of food and getting ready to serve us.Camiella looked instantly relieved, and honestly, the same went for me. If I had been the one to answer Katherine, I probably wouldn't have been able to hit her with words that heavy or direct.“Master,” the chief maid murmured carefully, breaking the tension.Mr. Blake gestured flatly for her to go ahead and serve. He didn't say another word, and the entire table fell into a dead, heavy silence as the food was laid out.All through the dinner service, Pr

Brielle’s POVNow it had finally dawned on me. My wolf was something special, and that meant I was too.“I thought… I…”“You thought what? Huh, Katherine?” I interrupted, my brows snapping together as I yanked my hand away from her. My chest rose and fell heavily. I completely dropped the word 'mother' or any iota of respect I had left for her.“Let this be the absolute last time you ever sneak into my room to try a stunt like this!” I lashed out. I wasn’t even sure if it was me or Virelle speaking anymore, but either way, I just wanted this woman out of my face. “You disgust me. Get out.”“I always knew you were a witch!” she seethed, backing toward the doorway, her eyes burning with pure hatred. “I regret ever giving birth to someone like you. And I won't let you ruin everything, Brielle.”“Well, since you had no problem abandoning me when I was a kid, why not just do it again? Go tell the school authorities you don't want me as your daughter, and let me go back to my normal life!” I

Lucian's POVI’d been forcing myself to stay completely away from her, but the memory of the night I took her virginity wouldn't leave me alone for a single second. The fear of breaking her makes me scares me. I couldn't let what happened to Isobel happen all over again.“It’s been a hundred years, Lucian. Are you seriously just going to sit back and watch your nephews claim your mate?” Drake’s voice rumbled in my head.I downed another shot of tequila, my left thumb aggressively scrolling through her I*******m feed. I gripped the glass, staring at a photo of her in a beach cover-up that had me rock hard in seconds. Then, something twitched inside my mind. A soft, breathless whimper cut right through the quiet of my room.It was Brielle.“Fuck… Lucian.” Her voice gasped out through the mate bond.I closed my eyes, shaking my head. I had to be losing it. It was just me missing her, hallucinating her voice because I was drowning in liquor. I poured another drink.“I’m hearing things,” I

Lucian's POVI was a second away from crushing my lips against hers when a loud, vicious knock rattled my door.The sound dragged me straight out of my head, freezing me instantly. I blinked, my hands coming up empty as I stared at the blank space in front of me. There was no hallway. There was no Brielle.I was standing alone in the middle of my own bedroom, panting like a maniac.“Who is it?” I called out, my voice rough.I rubbed a hand over my face, realizing I had been hallucinating the entire thing. The hallway, the heat, her slick core against my fingers—all of it had just been a desperate fantasy playing out in my mind while I waited in my room.“Sire, the master requires your presence downstairs,” the maid’s voice came through the thick wood.“I’ll be right down,” I muttered.“Of course. It’s just dinner,” she added, her footsteps quickly fading down the corridor.I let out a heavy breath and threw myself back onto the mattress, staring blankly up at the ceiling. My heart was

Brielle's POV The dining room went entirely quiet. The only sound left was the rattle of my mother’s fork clattering against her porcelain plate as her mouth fell open in pure shock.Beside her, Alpha Blake’s face hardened, his jaw clamping tight enough to snap a bone. His eyes locked onto Jayden, a deep, commanding Alpha energy rolling off him, making the very air in the room feel heavy and suffocating.“Jayden,” Blake said, his voice dropping into a low, terrifying frequency that vibrated right through the floorboards. “You will watch your tongue when speaking to your stepmother. I will not warn you again.”Jayden didn’t even blink. He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest as he met his father’s lethal glare with complete defiance. The dark tattoos lining his forearms practically hummed under his skin, but he kept his mouth shut, a dark, victorious smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.I sat frozen in my seat, my heart slamming against my ribs like a trapp
