Laura’s povI lunged at Venessa, “Give it back!” I snarled. “I need to call Maxwell.”Vanessa stopped without looking back. “I told you he’s unavailable.”I stepped forward and tried to slip past her but she caught my wrist very firmly enough to cause bruises and stopped me.“Laura, I'm not joking.”“Neither am I.”I pulled my hand free with a sharp jerk. “ Let go!” I have every right to call my husband.”“And you will only do that when you’re done with all the chores in this house.” Vanessa replied calmly.My patience snapped.“I am done talking.”I lunged forward without thinking. My fingers brushed the edge of the phone. Vanessa laughed and yanked it higher. “Oh, you want this so badly? Come and get it then, Luna.”I launched myself at her again and this time we collided at the top of the staircase,“Get off me!” she shrieked, twisting and trying to knee me in the stomach and something in me snapped and I pushed her with force.The phone slipped between our hands. I twisted instantl

Maxwell’s povThe office fell silent the moment the door clicked shut behind my Beta.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling without really seeing it. The official summons from the Head Council lay crumpled on my desk, a reminder that my problems were multiplying faster than I could solve them.Investors were abandoning Silvermont and now the Pack Alliance had turned against me.The court wanted my head.And Seraphina…Every time I thought I’d cornered her, she came back stronger.I slammed my fist against the desk in frustration.“Damn it!”The sound echoed through the office before fading into silence.For several long moments, I simply sat there, my mind racing through every possible move. Threats hadn’t worked. Begging had only made me look pathetic and public attacks had backfired spectacularly.For the first time in years, I had no idea what my next move should be.Just then a name surfaced in my mind.Adams Mercer.I slowly lifted my head. He had built empires long be

Laura’s povThe last shirt slipped through my aching fingers and landed into the laundry basket with a soft thud.For a few seconds, I simply stood there, staring at it.I let out a slow breath and wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand. My ankle throbbed so badly that even standing felt like punishment.For a moment, I remained where I was, gripping the edge of the wash basin until the wave of pain eased.“You can do this,” I whispered to myself.Maxwell had asked to see me and that thought alone was enough to push me forward. Carefully, I lifted the basket onto the table, straightened my aching back, and limped towards the door.A tear escaped before I could stop it but I wiped it away quickly.“No,” I whispered, forcing a shaky smile at my own reflection in the small window above the sinkEvery step sent a sharp sting shooting through my swollen ankle, but I refused to stop. I remembered Maxwell had asked to see me, maybe he had finally realized what had been hap

Laura’s POVThe morning light filtered softly through the curtains, warming my skin. I woke up slowly, a rare smile already forming on my lips. For the first time in weeks, I felt truly happy. My body still tingled from last night, I thought of Maxwell’s hands on me, from the way he had held me like I was the only thing that mattered. I hugged one of the pillows to my chest, unable to stop replaying every word he’d said.He had apologized last night and had promised to love me always. For the first time since Seraphina came back, I felt like he had finally chosen me completely. Maybe everything was finally changing, Maybe this was the fresh start we’d both needed.I turned in bed, reaching for him but the spot beside me was empty. I sat up, pulling the sheet around me and smiled at the memory of his voice whispering against my skin.Just then, the door opened pulling me out of my thoughts as Maxwell stepped in already dressed for the day. He looked at me with a small smile. “Good mo
