Chapter 151

Penelope's POV "Please take your seats, ladies and gentlemen," the announcer’s voice boomed over the speakers.The acoustic resonance tore through the cavernous expanse of the grand ballroom, bouncing off the polished marble columns and gilded plaster moldings. At the back of the chamber, the heavy mahogany double doors swung inward with a muted, hydraulic hiss, severing the sharp murmurs and spiteful posturing of the outer gallery. The suffocating hush of the formal program settled over the room like a heavy velvet drape.The dinner party was officially starting.I smoothed the cool, heavy silk of my dark evening gown over my knees as the banquet chairs scraped against the parquetry floor. To my right, Leif was already ensconced at the prime head table. His charcoal-black suit was tailored to perfection, sharp lines framing broad shoulders that carried the lethality of our bloodline without an ounce of strain. His long fingers tapped idly against the dark glass of his phone, entirel

Julian's POV "I admire girls like Penelope."The boy's words ripped through the grand banquet hall with the force of an unprovoked challenge, echoing off the high, gilded rafters and freezing the breath inside my lungs.I had barely stepped past the heavy archway, my hand still resting against the gold fringe of the velvet curtain, when the announcement hit. The suffocating air of the ballroom rolled over me in a rancid wave—a nauseating mixture of floral perfumes, spiced champagne, and the bitter, chemical sting of the silver-wash treatment I had scrubbed over my arms downstairs. My tailored black suit jacket was fresh and pressed, but beneath the fine wool, my flesh still burned with the memory of that toxic cleanse.Yet the physical burn on my skin was nothing compared to the white-hot rage that detonated behind my ribs.I stood dead in the shadows near the perimeter, my boots pinned to the marble parquet. My fingers convulsed against the seams of my trousers, curling into tight,

Chapter 153

Penelope's POVThe morning sun hits the bed like a physical blow. The sheer curtains do nothing to block the light, and it burns straight through my eyelids.My body feels like lead. I did not get back from the auction until three in the morning, and every muscle aches from sitting straight in those ridiculous ballroom chairs. I pull the duvet over my face, trying to block out the world.Then my phone starts vibrating against the wooden nightstand.The buzzing is loud, a sharp rattle that vibrates right through my skull. I ignore it for three rings, hoping whoever it is will give up. They do not.I reach out from under the blanket and grab the plastic case. The screen glows bright. Zaria.I press the green button and shove the phone to my ear. My voice is thick, rough with sleep."Zaria, what is it?""You are still sleeping?" Zaria's voice blasts through the speaker, far too loud for this hour. "The rumour about you seducing Lorde is already all over the internet."I sit up straight.

Chapter 154

Julian's POV"Look at the screen, Alpha," Ethan said.He slid the tablet across the heavy oak desk. The glass clicked against my coffee cup.I did not pick it up. I did not need to. The glowing blue light already reflected off the dark wood, flashing with three words printed in a massive, bright red font.The Broken Crown.Underneath the title, a video played on a loop. It was Penelope. She was stepping out of a black sleek car, her hair falling over her shoulders in perfect waves. A second later, the video cut to Lorde. He was standing on a red carpet, his broad shoulders filling out a tailored suit. He smiled directly into the lens. A tiny heart emoji flashed between their faces."The mainland web is melting down," Ethan whispered. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. His leather boots creaked against the hardwood floor. "The search algorithms are locked. Every major platform is pushing the same headline.""Read it to me," I said. My voice was too quiet. Too flat.Ethan

Chapter 155

Penelope's POVThe city air smelled like wet tarmac and cheap petrol.I pulled my car into the narrow alley beside Aurora Entertainment and shut off the engine. I was not in a rush to head to my own headquarters today. The pack business could wait. If I was going to acquire Agate Entertainment and strip their assets, I needed someone to handle the dirty grunt work. Someone who knew how to manipulate the press without leaving a digital footprint.John was the perfect pick. He was hungry, he was ruthless, and he hated Julian as much as I did.I stepped out of the car and slammed the door shut. The heel of my boot clicked sharply against the concrete kerb. I took three steps toward the glass double doors of the building before a sharp, familiar scent hit the back of my throat.Vanilla and expensive leather. It was thick. Overwhelming. Fake."Penelope," a voice shrilled from the pavement.I stopped. I did not turn around immediately. I counted to three in my head, watching my own reflecti

Kimberley's POV"Let's see how far your title gets you when the banks close your accounts, Penelope," I said, the venom in my voice barely masking the slight, treacherous tremor vibrating in my throat.The damp evening wind swept down the narrow alleyway behind the commercial tower, biting through the fine wool of my tailored designer coat. I stood planted on the frost-dusted stone steps, my heels digging into the slick granite as I stared directly into Penelope’s face.That gorgeous, infuriating, untouchable face.She did not possess a single blemish on her porcelain skin. Not a strand of her dark hair was displaced by the biting gale. Her eyes were bright, razor-sharp, and completely devoid of the suffocating terror I had spent seventy-two sleepless hours orchestrating. She was supposed to be trembling. She was supposed to be cornered, frantic, and desperate to bargain after the coordinated media leaks we had unleashed across the northern feeds.Instead, she stood before me like an

Chapter 157

Kimberly's POV "Miss Kimberly, is all this just because of Julian?" Penelope speaks the name like she is clearing dirt from her throat. Her lips curl. Her spine stays perfectly straight against the polished marble pillars of the Aurora Entertainment lobby. My boots click hard against the granite floor as I take a step forward. My fingernails dig so deep into my palms that the skin splits. The pain is a sharp, white flash, but it does not stop the heat rushing up my neck. "You think you can say his name like that?" I say. My voice drops an octave. I plant my feet. I do not let my eyes blink. Penelope does not flinch. She adjusts the silver cuff on her left wrist with two fingers. She takes her time. Her movements are slow, heavy, and deliberate. "I asked you a question," I snap. My breath comes too fast. The air in the lobby feels tight, thick with her expensive French perfume. "Answer me." "I do not owe you answers," Penelope says. She drops her hand from her wrist. Her knuckle

Chapter 158

Penelope's POVThe chilled air of the Aurora Entertainment lobby hits my face the moment I step through the secondary glass doors. It smells of industrial bleach and expensive white lilies.Behind me, the heavy glass doors swing shut with a dull thud. Then come the footsteps.Click. Click. Click.They are fast. Fast, light, and uneven. Kimberly is practically running to keep up with my stride. I can hear her breath catching in her throat, a sharp, wheezing sound that tells me her anger is currently overriding her common sense.I do not slow down. I head straight for the massive black quartz block that serves as the reception desk.The receptionist, a young woman with a tight bun and a silver Aurora pin on her collar, looks up from her screen. The moment her eyes land on my face, her shoulders straighten. Her chin lifts."Miss Penelope," the receptionist says. Her voice drops into a smooth, reverent register. "You are here to see Mr John? He did not mention you were on the schedule tod

Chapter 159

Penelope's POV"Get John down here right now!"Kimberly stomped her heel against the marble floor of the lobby. The sharp crack of plastic against stone echoed straight up to the high ceiling. Two security guards by the turnstiles shifted their weight, their eyes locking onto her."Miss, I have already explained the procedure to you," the receptionist said. She did not look up from her computer screen. Her fingers kept tapping away on the keyboard, a steady, rhythmic clicking that filled the tense air. "Mr Sterling does not take unscheduled meetings. Especially not with walk-ins.""Do you even know who I am?" Kimberly lunged forward, slamming both palms onto the sleek polished wood of the reception desk. Her face flushed a dark, angry purple. "I am not a walk-in! Tell him to come down and meet me this instant!"The receptionist finally paused her typing. She leaned back in her ergonomic chair, folding her hands neatly over her lap. Her gaze swept slowly up Kimberly’s body, lingering o

Chapter 160

Penelope's POV"John, I came here to talk business," Kimberly spat.Her fingers clawed into her designer leather handbag. The strap creaked under the pressure. She pulled her shoulders back, trying to anchor her heels into the marble floor of the lobby.John did not even look at her. He adjusted the cuff of his jacket. His thumb flicked against the silver link."You are in no position to talk business," John said. He did not raise his voice. He kept his tone flat, freezing the air between them. "We do not have time to babysit nobodies."Kimberly flinched. The mask of her heavy makeup tightened around her mouth.John turned his head two inches toward the front desk. "Annie. Call security. Have her escorted out of the building immediately.""Yes, sir," Annie said.The receptionist hit the intercom button before John even finished his sentence. Her knuckles were white against the plastic console.John turned his full attention back to me. His eyes softened, the sharp edge vanishing insta
