Chapter: Chapter 75: SparkThe apartment was quiet when I stepped inside. I closed the door behind me, took off my shoes, and coat, draping it over the chair by the door instead of hanging it up. I had to go to bed. It was late and I was tired, but my mind would not relax.I went into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water because I wanted to keep my hands occupied. The lights of the city shone outside the window, distant and static. I drank slowly and leaned against the counter.My phone was vibrating on the table.Mike.You alright?I exhaled rapidly and shook my head. I didn't know why I was surprised. He always listened. Even when I didn't want him to.Yes. You?He responded after a few seconds.You know me. Always okay.I stared at the screen. I could imagine him saying it, that small smile in his voice, the way he always evaded answering without technically lying.I didn't respond. I had no idea what to say.I put my phone on the counter, had another sip of water, and shut off the kitchen light.

Chapter: Chapter 74: SomethingAfter dinner, the gallery quieted down to a comfortable hush. The takeout containers from leftovers were on the desk, and Alicia was scrolling through her phone, most likely reading the emails she'd put off eating. Mike settled back into his chair, his eyes straying in my direction every so often but not speaking much.Abby had already caught on.She always caught on."You're working late again?" she asked, putting on her coat.I shrugged. "Might as well. Got some things to wrap up."She looked at me knowingly but didn't push. "Alright. Don't burn yourself out."Alicia yawned, stretching her arms above her head before standing. "I should get going, too. Text if you need anything.""Will do."One by one, they left, their goodbyes soft in the quiet space. The gallery always felt different at night—still, untouched, like it existed in its own pocket of time.Mike hadn’t left yet.He was still in his chair, watching me. Not in an expectant way, not like he was waiting for me to say someth

Chapter: Chapter 73: Bothering EncounterI didn't want to continue argue with him. I didn't want to stay standing here, gawking at him, judging for whatever he would say because we both knew I'll never be able to believe him. There was no point.So, I gave him a once-over, before I slowly trudged in. But just as I was supposed to walked away from him, I felt a hand on my wrist."Are you not going to ask what happened to me? Aren't you curious?""Why would I be?" I asked, jiggling my wrist for release. "You're dead to me."Those words will hunt him. He probably didn't expect I'd say those after all these years we hadn't seen each other, but I couldn't care less.I was able to took back my arm from him, and when I did, I continued walking and didn't look back. He didn't pursue me any longer either— which was better for the both of us.We were nothing beside strangers now, and a conversation wouldn't do us any good.I headed back to my gallery after that, where Mike and Alicia were waiting for me. They were at the main office,

Chapter: Chapter 72: DamianI woke up to the gentle hum of the just city beyond my window, the sun's first light filtering through the drapes. It was a quiet morning, free of the weights of workloads. I stretched, breathed deeply, and reveled in the smell of fresh linens and paint in the air—a home aroma that I had missed.It had been weeks since Mike and I returned. The transition had been smoother than I had imagined. The city was the same, the streets still throbbed the same, but I was different. I was no longer the fractured woman who had leave to heal. I had healed. I had crossed seas, strolled through ruins, and walked beneath skies Elon never had the chance to wander. And in going through it all, I wrote in his journal. Each letter, each dip of my pen, connecting me to him. My travels became his, my memories akin to what could have been his if only he lived.And somehow, it was as though he was present with me in every break of dawn and every foreign street.Mike accompanied me during those times— for mor

Chapter: Chapter 71: Back HomeWhat Mike had said stuck with me. I stewed over it for days and let the words occupy the vacant space I didn't realize existed.It was a peaceful morning. Sun streamed through the blinds of our tiny rental apartment in a city I enjoyed but would eventually abandon. That was when I made a choice and half-heartedly told Mike that it was time to head back home.I did not want to go, really. I had learned something special this year—something good and freeing. But it was not going to last. I knew that the entire time. Maybe, in a sense, the trip had already done what it was supposed to: heal me from all the pain and trauma.At some point, we couldn't keep doing this—traveling. And I knew that. So, we booked our tickets home, packed our bags, bought souvenirs.The city did not shift when we returned. That was the first thing I noticed, and perhaps the most strange. It was as if it had waited for us, as if nothing had been disturbed. People still walked the streets, the same coffee houses s

Chapter: Chapter 70: A Beginning of SomethingThe next day, I really left.The first night out of the town was strange to me—like freedom and something I couldn't quite comprehend myself. We rode a plane that soared through the air in silence as we departed, and when we arrived, the air gave me a different feeling. It was thicker and foreign. It was as if I had entered someone's dream. It was as if I had entered Elon's.We didn't really have a plan. We had a list of places that Elon had written in. Cities he circled in travel guides, underlined in the newspaper, and spoke of as if he knew he'd never live to see. So, I wrote for him. I started writing in his journal—first, just scribbles. Dates. Places. How the sidewalk felt beneath my feet, how the ocean echoed in a city he never visited. Then it became more. I wrote to him, as if he could read my words, as if he could follow me in the pages. By taking his journal and making it mine, I hoped to allow him to travel through me.The months went by like that. The ink from my pen tra

Chapter: Special Chapter 4After Adler learned about my pregnancy, he couldn’t stop worrying about my condition. I was thankful that he did those great things for me, but sometimes, I couldn’t stop to feel irritated whenever he was with me. He changed a lot, but I still know how to protect myself, especially in my condition.He was proud, especially when he announced he would be a father. He didn’t even mind if some werewolves were teasing him about his actions toward me. I understood that they were still shocked that he was my husband, my mate, because of what they knew about how he treated me.“Hey! Where are you planning to go?” My eyes rolled when I heard his voice again. I woke up and decided to go to the bathroom, but he caught me walking. Adler always overreacted! I didn’t like it anymore.He was too afraid that we might lose our baby, especially since he found out that he needed to take care of me with gentleness because of my condition. Gunner didn’t stop making fun of him.“I want to go to the bathroo

Chapter: Special Chapter 3Adler didn't know how to react, especially when I pushed him onto our bed. He gasped but didn't even try to struggle with me. He licked his lips, and he didn't remove his eyes from me.“Hmmm..” I hummed when I stroked his dick once again. I tightened my grip on it and slowly moved my hands. “Shit! It's so hot,” He moaned, arched his head, and groaned. I lowered my head and stuck out my tongue to lick the tip of his length.He was shocked when he felt my tongue licked every inch of him. I stared at the tip of his cock, and I saw his precum. I licked it, making him grunt violently.“Shit. Avalynn, where did you learn this thing? Damn it. Don't you dare do this to another man!” I didn't dispute because I focused on what I was doing for him. Jade was right. It was enjoyable that I saw how my mate rated whenever I was licking the tip of his cock.I gulped because I was nervous, especially when I tried to suck his length. I couldn't entirely suck it because his size was too massive. I cl

Chapter: Special Chapter 2I was dumbfounded and felt irritated when Adler didn't even think twice about leaving me. Shit. I was embarrassed because he knew that I was too horny. He could smell my scent.“Adler!” I called his name, but he didn't even say anything while he was inside the bathroom. I gritted my teeth in so much frustration. I didn't like what he did, and I would make sure that he would regret leaving me while I was too turned on because of him.‘It looks like you taste your own medicine. It's fine, Avalynn, but I didn't like that Adler chose not to continue what he is planning for you.' Alice spoke to me when I decided to leave our room.I groaned when I already understood what she meant. Damn, she was a dirty wolf. How could she even think something dirty? However, what made me agitated was I liked what she thought. ‘Shut it, Alice. You're not helping me. I want to push him to his limits.’‘Aren't you scared that he might punish you? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're too excited to get his t

Chapter: Special Chapter 1“Welcome, Alpha Brandon,” I stared at the beautiful stunning Alpha; his cold eyes bore into us. I didn't even know that Adler had a friend like him. Alpha Brandon didn't talk with us, but he only nodded. Oh, he wasn't approachable, too. He began talking with Adler, and it seemed serious.“Okay, we will continue the training contest in our packs. My members are so excited to know about it.” Brandon stated, making Adler nod. It had been a year, and Adler was pushing to have a deal with another pack. He had been creating some allies to be the powerful Alpha. Brandon seemed stronger, too. I could do it because of his massive muscles, and I couldn't stop staring at his face. Damn.I noticed Adler glared at me. He coughed, and irritation was too evident on his face. “Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Avalynn, my wife,” Adler said, “Baby, come here.”I strolled slowly in their direction and bowed when my eyes met Brandon's sight. His eyes made me seem shallow; it looked like he wanted to ent

Chapter: Chapter 93 : The FinaleAvalynn's POV "There'd be no escape for you, Theodore," I told him with a smile curving in my lips. We have sealed all the exits. Every part, and every direction of this forest have wolves waiting for them. They were also surrounded, and outnumbered. This was exatly what they did to my mother back when I was still young. They beat her to a pulp knowing she was weak. They killed her in the worst way possible. I wouldn't give mercy now. I wouldn't show a heart to someone who doesn't have it. A tooth for a tooth, Theodore. I gave them my signal. In one swift move, Theodore, and the others were was attacked by the wolves in this land. The other howled as they inflicted pain on their bodies, while the other growled in hunger for their blood. I stood in front of them and let them weakened their body. Though they regenerate fast, they wouldn't keep up if they attain a lot of damages. They could try though. I didn’t turn to my human form and watched my friends, and the elders on this pa

Chapter: Chapter 92 : Last Fight(Third Person's POV) The tradition their pack usually does was interrupted with the anticipated arrival of Theodore and Conrad, blocking Avalynn and Adler's way, the two remained on guard and alert. They have prepared for this, and they knew these two weren't alone. Theodore will never dare to show up in their territory with only Conrad. Theodore wasn't that dumb. But he was sure impulsive. Avalynn scanned the area. Within her circle, she sensed the presence of Lycans coming their way. She didn't sense it earlier so they didn't have that much to prepare, but Avalynn and Adler managed to jumped on time. As soon as the Lycans arrived, surrounding the two of them, it didn't surprise them anymore. They immediately cornered them. Avalynn and Adler had no choice but to get close to each other and watch out. "This is our chance," Theodore said. Theodore and Conrad began to walk towards them. Avalynn was looking at Conrad intently, and Conrad was the same. Theodore had evil smile on his

Chapter: Chapter 38'Shift!' Lexi shouted, as I was on my knees, hiding myself behind the bed. It was a direct command. Thus, I transmuted at will. I closed my eyes shut, as I felt the size of my arms and legs growing bigger. My body rocked as my head turned up.Lexi roared. "Who is it?"The whole place was reeking with Lycans. It was a scent I have started to become familiar with, since this was their territory. That said, I couldn't pinpoint its location. Even if I were to follow the smell through the window, it would be useless because I could sense ten of them.

Chapter: Chapter 37 : Which One?Payne was an Alpha. I could see him as someone similar to my dad. He value his wolves. He wasn't an Alpha who use strength and force but rather heart and mind. It was one reason I adored my father before...'So, which one will it be?' asked, Lexi.My brows puckered. 'Which one?''Which love would you prsue? Payne, or Declan?'My lips formed a thin line. Was that even a question? Of course, if I have an option, it wouldbe Payne... but then I cannot. My father's agreement with Declan was what bind me here. So even if I want to pursue Payne... the answer would be Declan.'I'm bound to be with Declan, Lexi. You know why.'

Chapter: Chapter 36 : Payne"Genevieve..." I swallowed hard. "I am Genevieve Lamperogue."The smell. The enticing feeling. The pounding of my chest. I cannot be mistaken. Though it was invsible, I could certainly feel a thread connecting us. This wolf in front of me... is my fated mate.But I have Declan, and I cannot be with him now. I was still under my father and Declan's agreement, and Declan and I were starting to be... "You feel it too, don't you?" He let out a warm smile.Payne looked harmless. His smile was like no other. There was no dangerous nor suspicious motive in his eyes. It was as if he lived in the moment. I wish I could too."W-what?" I tried to play dumb.Of course, I knew it. I knew what he was talking about. It was the bond. The thin line that was starting to stimulate me.

Chapter: Chapter 34 : Chance To Go Back Home"Did you enjoy it?" Declan asked as I was gazing out the window.It was nightfall. We only have been on this carriage for 1 hour or so, and I wasn't sleepy at all. Maybe because I rested before we left. Or maybe because the night sky was just so beautiful I find it shameful to just sleep on it.My head turned to Declan, before I looked at him. "Yes. Very much.""The Lycans from the other continent are nice, weren't they?""Nicer than the ones in your Kingdom, yes," I said as a matter of fact. "They never even asked why you brought me there."

"I believe it's because you refused to eat with him twice in a row now."My brows furrowed. Then I stood up from my seat. "Leonardo? You're here?"He was fired yesterday. How was he here? No... he came back? Did Declan bring him back because I was against it? "Your Majesty brought me back to my post.." He smiled. "He draw lines, though."I smiled. Then I walked towards him. "I'm glad he did... I'm sorry though. It was my fault—""Please, do not feel sorry. It was my fault for upsetting the King."
