He asked the service crew to send his order to the table where Danielle was. Then he paid the bill and left. Every one in Danielle's table was surprised to see the heart balloons and the cake. “ Excuse me , Ma’am. These are for Miss Danielle. “ “ Who ordered these?” They glanced at each other but all of them swayed their heads side to side. “ Another admirer maybe.” Tiffany suspected. “ Yeah! Right!

But the way he watched me suggested he wasn’t just greeting me—he was checking, measuring. “Morning,” I replied cautiously, keeping my voice even. “You awake?” His brow lifted slightly, not waiting for an answer. “I was,” I said, trying to mask the nervous tremor. He stepped inside anyway, careful not to crowd me, but I felt his presence fill the room. “Food’s on the table downstairs. Coffee too. You gonna join or not?”

It was ajar again… and she was gone. The blackout deepened, as if someone had cut more than just the overhead emergency light. Even the hum of the servers grew weaker, a strange, unnatural fade. Then the faintest glow appeared across the room—red, small, but moving. A laser dot. It landed on Jax’s chest. Leo didn’t think—he moved.

Her brow furrowed as she scrolled, searching for anything that looked remotely connected to her father. Then she saw it: *Rome10392.* Her stomach twisted, and for a moment, her hands stilled over the keyboard. The name, combined with the city she was in, felt like a cosmic taunt. She clicked on the file, the room falling into silence so thick she could hear the faint hum of traffic through the window, the distant sound of Rome beginning to stir.

“I Asher Stormclaw, Son of Alpha Caleb and soon to be alpha, reject you as my mate and future Luna” My heart clenched at those words and I saw a portal open Showing Asher and Lucian next to one another.

"Why wouldn't someone like Damien not have a special someone in his life?" And then it hit her-the woman was Clara Smith, the up-and-coming starlet who recently gained fame after winning Best Rookie Actress for her new movie. Clara was gorgeous, with naturally blonde hair and a body that just screamed confidence and perfection. How could Noah even hope to compete with that? She didn't want to make a scene or draw any attention toward her. So, she didn't leave the hotel but asked for another room for the night.

Chapter 84: Lisa’s POV The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor had become part of my life steady, constant, a fragile reminder that my father was still here. For months, I’d sat by his bedside, whispering prayers into the cold, sterile air of the hospital room. I’d told him stories, memories, anything that might reach him through the fog of his coma. Some days, my voice trembled. Other days, I just sat in silence, holding his hand, feeling the faint warmth of his skin and wishing he’d squeeze back.

Emma stood before the Heartfurnace hours later, hands pressed to the stone, eyes closed. “We need more than heat,” she whispered. Steve stepped up beside her. “What do we need?” She looked up. “Light. Something to reach through the cold and remind us who we are.” And in the night sky above, the stars shimmered like distant sparks of fire.

--- That night, Aria sat in a high cliff shelter overlooking the Heartspire. Its spire glowed faintly in the distance—like a sleeping dragon’s breath. Kael sat beside her, wrapping a blanket around her shoulders. “Tomorrow, we enter it,” she said softly. “And if it fights back?” he asked.
