"You aren't paying attention, Arabella." Right behind me, Samuel pushed forward with quiet force. The sudden friction made a small gasp slip past my lips, and my fingers dug hard into the cotton sheets, bunching the fabric until my hands hurt. "So... easy," I breathed out, the words breaking apart into a shiver. Samuel’s dark eyes burned with raw focus. He lowered his head on purpose, sinking his teeth softly into my bare shoulder, leaving a sting that made me shudder. My mind was a complete fog, and my whole body felt like it was on fire. Through the haze, I turned my head back to look at his sharp face. His eyes held a wild, reckless look that belonged to someone completely untamed—nothing like his nephew, Richard, whose cold and proper attitude always kept everyone on edge. How did I even end up in the bed of my ex-mate's uncle tonight? It felt like a bad dream that started a week ago, when I caught Richard scenting another she-wolf outside the pack clinic. She was carrying

When the servants heard that, they froze mid-motion, holding the heavy picture frames. They looked at Arabella with a mix of shock and hesitation. For three years in the estate, they had only ever known Arabella as a soft-spoken, gentle Luna. This was the first time they had ever seen her truly angry, and it was genuinely frightening. They stood there in total silence, unsure what to do. Seeing this, Celeste pushed out her pregnant belly even further, putting on a defiant look. "Arabella, Richard already said it. I'm carrying the pack's next heir, so everything has to revolve around me right now. I want this master bedroom. Do you really have to be so stingy and throw a fit over it?" Hearing that, the servants glanced sideways at Celeste's stomach. Thinking of the power behind her and then looking back at Arabella, they quickly chose a side in unison. "Luna Arabella, Beta Richard specifically told us to follow Miss Celeste's orders. After all, she's carrying a pup for th

When everything finally quieted down, Arabella lay there catching her breath, her mind completely clearing up. She looked at Samuel washing up in the bathroom, caught the heavy scent of passion and lingering alcohol in the air, and bit down hard on her lower lip. She couldn't believe she had actually gone all the way with Samuel... *Ding—* Her phone suddenly rang out loud, cutting right through her thoughts. Seeing Richard's name pop up on the screen, her heart skipped a heavy beat. It was already eight in the morning—why was Richard calling her now? Arabella bit her lower lip, her fingers trembling as they hovered between accepting and declining the call. The next second, the call dropped. A text message appeared on her screen. *[Arabella, open the door. I'm outside.]* Arabella's heart leaped straight into her throat. Why was Richard here? She hurriedly threw on some clothes, tiptoed over to the door, and peeked through the peephole. Sure enough, Richard

Apart from her duties as the Beta's Luna, Arabella also served as Richard’s executive secretary, holding the reins on several multi-million-dollar pack contracts. Since she had already resolved to cut the bond and divorce him, a resignation was inevitable. Naturally, she needed to clear her desk and hand off her active portfolios. First thing the next morning, Arabella arrived at the corporate suite, transferring every single project she could to the other senior coordinators. By noon, only one massive, nine-figure infrastructure deal remained unassigned. Arabella had personally spent three months chasing this client, exhausting every resource until she finally persuaded Director Finn of the rival corporation to agree to a dinner meeting with Richard tonight. If this single dinner went smoothly, the mega-deal would be locked in for the estate. With the deadline looming, she couldn't simply dump this project onto someone else; she had to ensure it didn't collapse at the fini
