Chapter: Chapter Ten : A Dangerous Proposal The city glowed like a sea of shattered glass, stretching endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse. The silence felt heavier tonight, pressing against me as I wrapped my arms around myself.I wasn’t cold.I was unraveling.The message on my phone still burned in my mind.You don’t belong in his world. Leave before it’s too late.The words kept circling, taunting, daring me to make a move. Someone wanted me out. And they weren’t afraid to make that clear.A shift in the air behind me sent a shiver down my spine. I didn’t turn around.I didn’t need to.Leon was there.I felt his presence before he spoke, the raw energy of him always impossible to ignore.“You’re thinking of running, aren’t you?”His voice was quiet, but not soft. There was no softness in Leon Castello. Only power wrapped in control, a control he never let slip.I turned to face him. He was still dressed from the day—charcoal suit, crisp white shirt, the first two buttons undone like he’d loosened t

Chapter: Chapter Nine: The Enemy In The Shadows I wasn’t naïve. Marrying Leon meant stepping into a world filled with power, deception, and enemies lurking in every shadow. I just never expected one of them to be inside his own company.The news broke at dawn.A sharp buzzing pulled me from restless sleep. I reached for my phone, barely cracking my eyes open as I silenced the alarm. But the screen was already flooded with notifications. Too many. My stomach clenched.Breaking News: Castello Industries Faces Internal Turmoil Over CEO’s WifeMy breath caught in my throat. My fingers trembled as I clicked on the article.A leaked email from an anonymous executive raises concerns over Eva Castello’s involvement in Castello Industries. Sources question whether her presence is a liability to the company’s reputation and stability.I swallowed hard, scrolling further. More headlines screamed at me.“Castello Industries in Crisis? Leaked Email Sparks Internal Conflict”“Who is Eva Castello? Is She the CEO’s Greatest Weakness?”My heartbeat

Chapter: Chapter Eight : The Kiss That Changed Everything The moment Leon’s lips touched mine, the world around us ceased to exist.It was supposed to be a calculated move, a response to Daniel’s veiled insult, a message to the vultures watching our every move.But it wasn’t.Because when his lips met mine, it wasn’t just for show. It was fire. It was raw, searing heat that ignited something dangerous inside me.My fingers instinctively gripped the lapels of his suit, a desperate anchor as my knees threatened to give out. His hand slid to the small of my back, pulling me flush against him, and for a moment, I forgot. Forgot where we were. Forgot why we were doing this.All I knew was Leon.And when he pulled away, his expression darkened, his breath slightly uneven.For a fleeting second, something flickered in his eyes—something unguarded, something real.Then, just as quickly, it was gone.The room roared back to life. Gasps, whispers, the flashing of cameras—I barely heard any of it over the erratic pounding of my heart.But Daniel’s expr

Chapter: Chapter Seven : Daniel's Counterattack I stared at my phone again , my fingers curling so tightly around the device that my knuckles ached."I wish Eva nothing but the best, but it’s clear she married Leon Castello out of spite. I just hope she realizes that power comes with a price."Daniel’s words were printed in bold, stark against the glaring white background of the article. My stomach twisted. He knew exactly what he was doing. It wasn’t a direct attack, not an outright declaration of war, but it was worse. It was subtle. A carefully crafted attempt to paint me as a desperate woman who had jumped into a marriage for revenge.Bile rose in my throat.Damn him.I threw my phone onto the bed and ran a hand through my hair, pacing the length of the bedroom. The article was already spreading like wildfire. People were eating it up, dissecting every sentence, every implied meaning.My past with Daniel was no secret. The media had milked our breakup for all it was worth, and now, with his carefully worded statement, they had

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Rules of the GameI shut the bedroom door behind me, leaning against it for a moment.My mind was still reeling.Leon had murmured my name in his sleep.Why?The question wouldn’t leave me alone, circling like a vulture. I had stood there for too long, watching him, listening to the way my name had slipped from his lips. It hadn’t been forceful. Hadn’t been commanding. It had been soft. Almost… familiar.And that terrified me.Because I didn’t know what it meant.My fingers curled into the fabric of my robe as I exhaled, pushing myself away from the door. I didn’t have time for this. I wasn’t going to stand here, dissecting the meaning behind something Leon would never admit to.It didn’t change anything.By morning, he would be the same.Distant. Cold. Unreadable.And I would be a fool to think otherwise.At BreakfastThe dining room was quiet except for the faint clinking of silverware.I lifted my coffee cup, watching Leon over the rim. He was always composed, always in control, but this morning, th

Chapter: Chapter Five: The First Crack in the IceEVA’S POVThe penthouse was silent when we returned from the gala, the city skyline casting silver reflections against the glass walls. Leon removed his jacket and draped it over a chair before heading toward the bar.I slipped off my heels, the ache in my feet nothing compared to the pressure that had settled in my chest all night. The stares. The whispers. The way Daniel had looked at me like I was something he had lost and wanted to reclaim.And Leon. Always composed. Always in control.There was something off about him.I watched the wine swirl in the crystal glass as he poured himself a drink. His tie was loosened and his shirt was open, but he still looked powerful. Like a man who has the world in his hands and never let anyone know what it cost him."You handled yourself well tonight," he said, his voice smooth, unreadable.I scoffed, crossing my arms. "Handled myself?"His gaze lifted, pinning me in place. "Daniel wanted a reaction from you. You didn’t give him one. That’s st

Chapter: Chapter 189: A New BeginningGemini stood on the edge of MoonCreek, staring at the horizon where the sun was rising, the memories of the struggle still raw. In sharp contrast to the ashes and debris all around her, the blazing hues adorned the sky. Even though Loki had been vanquished, it was a bittersweet victory. The real reconstruction, psychologically and physically, was only getting started.Gemini studied the terrain, well aware of the difficulties that awaited. Every building and nook in the town that had once been a hive of activity bore the marks of battle. However, she sensed a glimmer of optimism at this precise moment when the first light of day broke through the shadows. It was time to think about MoonCreek in a new light.A voice yelled out to her, yanking her from her reverie, "Gemini!" It was Nate and Jace , their dust-caked yet determined visage shining through. They moved toward her, their presence providing stability in the midst of the mayhem. "We are beginning to gather materials for the reco

Chapter: Chapter 188: Rebuilding and ReflectionMoonCreek saw the break of morning, illuminating the ruins of the once-vibrant town with gentle light. There was a faint glow of new beginnings amid the ruins, albeit they were still blazing in some places. Gemini stood amidst the rubble, her heart heavy but hopeful at the same time as the sun rose higher in the sky.There was a strong smell of earth and ash in the air, yet underneath there was also the new taste of possibility. Driven by a common goal to rebuild their home, survivors were already congregating. They painstakingly cleared debris and salvaged all they could, despite the looming shadow of loss above them. Every crumbling block and broken window was a reminder of their hardship, but also of their tenacity.Together with her allies, Gemini helped raise a fallen beam that had been the town square's support. As they pulled it up, she caught sight of familiar faces—some haggard with tiredness, others brightened by determination. They had an unwritten agreement that brought th

Chapter: Chapter 187: The Aftermath of BattleIn stark contrast to the loud roar of combat that had filled the skies just hours before, the air in MoonCreek was thick with the heavy weight of calm. With its towering trees and rich sceneries, the once-vibrant town was now reduced to rubble. The streets, which had once been alive, were littered with the bodies of the dead and the wreckage of the conflict, as smoke billowed from burnt homes. It served as a sobering reminder of what they had given up.At the center of it all, Gemini stood, her chest constricted as she surveyed the devastation. Her mind was reeling from all that had transpired, and her body ached from weariness. Now that Loki was vanquished, his horror had come to an end, but the victory was not satisfying. She could see their lost loved ones' faces everywhere she looked. Battle had destroyed their house, taking with it warriors, friends, and defenseless bystanders.The survivors' robotic and eerie gaits as they made their way through the rubble. While some attended t

Chapter: Chapter 186: Victory at a CostThe battlefield fell silent, eerie and heavy as Loki's body collapsed to the ground. After the final strike, the once-deafening noise of magic and steel seemed muted and distant, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Standing over Loki's lifeless body, Gemini's chest heaved as her thoughts continued to digest the realization that Loki had lost. At last, the darkness that had threatened to devour MoonCreek and everything she cared about was gone.She had long anticipated this victory, but it did not seem victorious. The weight of the conflict had hollowed it out. The aftermath of their battle was all over the ground around her: the bodies of allies and fallen companions who had battled with her lay lifeless in the earth. Every setback was a sharp reminder to Gemini that there were always going to be costs associated with success.She collapsed to her knees, sadness and tiredness taking hold of her. Her thoughts quickly returned to the pivotal moments of the conflict—the intens

Chapter: Chapter 185: The Turning Point But it was not over, Loki stood up again ,There was raw, crackling energy between Gemini and Loki as their duel approached a fever pitch. The sheer ferocity of their conflict forced others in close proximity to flee as each collision of steel and magic shook the entire battlefield. Yet Gemini could not afford to make a mistake. She had been preparing for this moment her entire life; it was the result of every struggle that had made her the warrior she was today.With his sly smile and ruthless gaze, Loki exuded confidence. His blows were brutal, designed to inflict psychological as well as physical harm by feeding Gemini's uncertainties and anxieties. He struck with shadow magic's dark tendrils, each one bearing the weight of the warped might he had developed through the years. As he talked, his tone was laced with hatred."Is this all you’ve got, Gemini?" A column of dark fire spiraled toward her as he mockingly conjured it up. "To fail now after coming this far . Disgusting."Howeve

Chapter: Chapter 184: Gemini’s Confrontation with LokiA tight silence descended across the battlefield as Gemini moved forward, her heart thumping fiercely inside her chest. Even before she saw Loki, she could feel his presence; the atmosphere was eerie and thick with evil power. It appeared as though the planet itself was holding its breath for what was about to happen, as the forces that had been engaged in combat just seconds before receded into the distance.And lo and behold, Loki was there. He was positioned at the edge of the battleground, his form obscured by shadows that appeared to throb and squirm with hatred. His eyes latched on Gemini, glinting with a lethal mixture of delight and cruelty. Like her, he had been waiting for this moment as well.Loki snarled, his voice low and nasty, "It seems the prodigy finally steps into the light." "I’ve been waiting for you, Gemini."Gemini inhaled deeply and clenched her sword grip. It was finally here: the encounter she had been waiting for, the turning point that would determine not ju

Chapter: Chapter 32: Shadows in the Dark The battle had ended, but the war was far from over. Lucy could still hear the echoes of steel clashing, the snarls of dying rogues, the wet thud of bodies hitting the blood-soaked ground. The scent of smoke and death clung to her like a second skin as she followed Karl through the dense forest, their steps silent, their movements tense. The night pressed in around them, the trees stretching high, their twisted branches clawing at the sky. The reinforcements had arrived, forcing the remaining rogues to retreat, but Lucy knew better than to assume they were safe. Something felt off. Karl moved like a shadow beside her, his body no longer weakened by the wounds that should have killed him. The memory of what had happened still sent a chill down her spine. She had healed him. She didn’t know how or why, but the truth was undeniable. And Karl had felt it too. She stole a glance at him. He was quiet, his face unreadable, but his fingers flexed at his sides, his claws just barely ext

Chapter: Bound by BloodThe battlefield was chaos.The air reeked of blood and death, the metallic clang of swords clashing ringing through the night. Snarls and howls filled the air as warriors fought desperately to hold the line.But none of it mattered to Lucy.Not when she saw Kale drop.“Kale!” she screamed, her heart lurching as he fell to one knee.His sword slipped from his grasp, embedding itself into the mud. His broad chest rose and fell in ragged gasps, blood soaking his tunic. Deep, brutal gashes tore across his side, his once-powerful form sagging under the weight of his injuries.Lucy sprinted toward him, her breath coming fast.No, no, no.Kale never fell. He was the Beast Alpha—unbreakable, unstoppable. Seeing him like this was **wrong**.She skidded to her knees beside him, pressing trembling hands against his wounds. Blood gushed through her fingers, hot and sticky.“Kale, look at me,” she said urgently.His silver eyes flickered open, unfocused. His face was pale, sweat beading along his

Chapter: A Choice of FateKarl’s fists clenched at his sides, his body rigid with tension. The moment Lucy finished telling him what Mira had said, he turned away, his breath sharp, controlled—but barely. The veins in his arms bulged as he fought for control.“You went after her alone?” His voice was dangerously quiet, but Lucy heard the fury simmering beneath the surface.She didn’t flinch. “I had to. I needed answers.”Karl turned back, his silver eyes flashing. “And what if she’d killed you, Lucy? What then?”Lucy stepped closer, ignoring the raw anger in his gaze. “She didn’t. And now we know the truth.”Karl exhaled hard, raking a hand through his hair. “The Blood Moon,” he muttered, pacing. “Of course, it had to be the damn Blood Moon.”Lucy’s heart pounded. “Is it true?”He stopped, shoulders tense. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “The curse was cast generations ago. My father spent years searching for a way to break it, but he never found anything. If completing the mate bond during the Blood Moon is the

Mira had escaped once, slipping through their fingers like a ghost in the night. But she wouldn’t get a second chance.Word had spread through the pack like wildfire—Karl’s trusted advisor had been a traitor all along, feeding information to Geoffrey and plotting their downfall.

Chapter: ShadowsThe tension in the air was a silent scream. Lucy sat in the dimly lit corner of Conan’s office, her fingers tracing the edge of the worn map spread across the table. The evidence Conan had uncovered lay scattered before her—letters, coded messages, and a list of names. The realization had hit her like a cold slap: someone within the Bloodmoon Pack was feeding information to Geoffrey.Conan leaned against the desk, his expression grave. “It’s more than just suspicions, Lucy. These messages didn’t come from outside the pack. The spy is one of ours.”Lucy’s stomach churned. She picked up a letter, her eyes scanning the cryptic handwriting. “Do you think Karl knows?”Conan’s lips pressed into a thin line. “If he does, he hasn’t shared it. But this isn’t just about Karl. This is about all of us. If Geoffrey has a foothold here, we’re exposed.”The weight of the revelation crushed her chest. The spy could be anyone—someone Karl trusted, someone close to him.

Chapter: The Gathering StormThe night was thick with unease, the silence in Lucy’s room broken only by the soft rustle of the wind outside. She lay on the bed, her limbs heavy with exhaustion, but sleep was elusive. The vision of the blood moon ritual replayed in her mind like a haunting melody.In the dream, she had stood side by side with Karl, flames licking the ground at their feet. The air had been alive with power, and the sky was painted red, the blood moon casting an eerie glow over them. Karl’s eyes had burned with determination, but it was her own reflection that unsettled her the most. She hadn’t looked afraid. She had looked... powerful.Lucy jolted upright, her chest heaving. The vividness of the dream left a residue of dread in her veins. She pressed a hand to her forehead, trying to calm the storm of emotions swirling inside her.A knock at the door broke her spiraling thoughts. Before she could respond, Karl stepped in, his presence filling the small room. His gray eyes found hers immediately, an
