All Chapters of The Trapped Heiress: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Noah’s wolf groaned, his aura pressing against her, his voice commanding. “Don’t twist this. You are mine, Laurel, and Sherry is just my friend. I was just helping her out because she needed me ans as for the post Sherry enjoys posting every details of her life in her social media platform, she didn't mean anything else, don't over think Laurel.”Laurel’s laugh was bitter, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. “Then why do I feel invisible every time she calls your name? Why don’t I have a say to anything while the world sees her at your side as your perfect mate, while I am left waiting, humiliated?”Noah stepped forward, his hand reaching for her cheek, his thumb brushing her skin with tenderness. “Because I am trying to protect everything we have built together, Laurel. I can’t erase Sherry from my life altogether but you… you are my Luna, my wife, and that will never change. Just give me some time, Laurel; just let me deal with the Hamilton bankruptcy crisis, and then I will cut

“Isn’t it because of her bloodline that she has been chosen as our Alpha’s mate? Otherwise, how would an Omega be worthy of him?“But now their bond is sealed with the marking, and she has saved our Alpha, so we should accept her.”“But she is an Omega.”“Yes, but she is now a part of our pack; we can’t deny the mate bond chosen by the Moon Goddess, or we will be punished by the Moon Goddess.”Then she heard the council member’s voices; they were all talking about her.“Luna has saved Alpha Noah as expected of the chosen mate.”“Alpha Abbot, you were right; Richard McKinley's Alpha bloodline is indeed powerful, and we shouldn’t have doubted your decision. After all, he is your sworn brother.”“So we weren’t wrong when we decided to have the political marriage between the two families, as she had been chosen as Alpha Noah’s mate.”"The Moon Goddess blesses the packs that are faithful to her and listens to her signs, as she is the direct representative of the almighty.”“Although we had

After the confrontation with her parents, Laurel felt lighter than she had in days, not because the truth was easy to carry, but because she was no longer haunted by the questions that were disturbing her entire equilibrium. By the time she returned to the villa, she had already made her decision. She would listen to her parents. She would play the role of Noah's wife, the role everyone had so carefully built for her long before she had a say in it, but she would play it on her own terms.She refused to spend the rest of her life standing in the shadows of a conspiracy she wasn't allowed to understand, smiling politely at a council that had known exactly what she was before she did. If she was going to wear the title of Luna, she wasn't going to wear it like the way they had designed it but in her own way.But right now all she wanted to know was everything about the Knight Clan's history, their enemies, who was behind the dangers lurking around her and her husband, and exactly how de

"There is something else you should know," Wyatt said, and something in the way he said it made Laurel go still. "The raw material shortage that made your company hit low last year, the one that nearly sank you before the merger talks even started—I didn't go looking for it; it just kept surfacing while I was tracing Hamilton's supplier network. Your suppliers didn't just run dry; Laurel, someone got to them, pressured them, paid them off, and threatened your contracts. I can't say for certain who did it for now, but the pattern's too clean to be coincidence, with multiple suppliers pulling out around the same window, all citing different reasons, none of which hold up if you actually check their other clients."Laurel felt something go cold in her chest. "You are saying someone did that to us on purpose.""I am saying it looks that way; someone wanted your company weak enough, at exactly the right moment, that a certain kind of rescue would start looking necessary." He held her gaze.

Noah returned the following week, and disaster returned with him because he brought Sherry along to his parents' villa.It was Alpha Abbott's birthday, and Laurel had spent days arranging every detail of the celebration herself, down to the flowers and the seating chart, because whatever else was unresolved between her and Noah, she was still, on paper and in front of the pack, the legitimate daughter-in-law of this house. She had taken that responsibility seriously.The moment Sherry walked through the door on Noah's arm, walking just a little too close, laughing at something he had said with her hand resting far too easily on his forearm, the entire atmosphere in the room shifted.Laurel felt something tighten hard in her chest—not quite jealousy, not quite anger, but something bitter and nameless. Her parents glanced at her with quiet concern, but she lifted her chin and kept moving, refusing to let anyone feel that she was bothered by her presence. She hadn't planned this entire e
