Chapter: EPILOGUE EPILOGUE (DAISY)My favorite time of the day is waking up snuggled into his arms. He always holds me so hard to his body that I can barely move and once I try to escape from his hold he will push me back to himself. That always brings so much smile to my face, so much happiness that I can't begin to mention. “Are you awake?” His sleepy voice asked, and I tried to pretend I was still sleeping as I closed my eyes tight.“I could hear your thoughts so wild, and you know….”Laughter bubbled out of me as he tickled me “Stop it” I yelled, pushing his hands away from me as he got a hold of me and was still tickling me so badly. “Say please,” he said while still tickling me so hard that my chest hurt. “Never” I pushed his hand away, trying to stand from the bed, but he was so strong, and he caught me before I even escaped. “Okay, please Damien, please” His hand softened as he held me to himself. We are still on the bed now and panting a little from the play that we had just engaged i

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED SIXTY-THREEI hated that smell, which was the first thing that hit me. Groaning, I am turning around as I hear a sharp noise and my attention is on the faces that are looking at me. They are so familiar. Someone with white rushed to where I was lying down on a bed, and the rest of the faces looked like they were waiting for a verdict from him. He said something and the rest of them disappeared. He was the only one in the room as he examined me. Furthermore, he held my eyes open and searched inside, bringing out a touch of light as he scanned inside my eyes. I wish I could see what he is doing, I wish I knew what the hell I am doing here. Finally, the sounds that rang in my head went away, and now I am staring into his face. “Are you okay? Do I feel pain anywhere? Mr. Anderson” He said, looking into my eyes. This man knew me, am I, Mr. Anderson?I couldn't seem to think of anything else as I just looked at him. He motioned to someone, and they came to where he was standing. He took a syr

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED SIXTY-TWODAISYWhat are they up to? I was left alone for a while in my solitude when the door opened, and he was the only one who came back inside. Not a noise was heard on my part as I let him walk to where I was still tied. He looked at me without saying a word. His eyes were unpleasant, they almost reminded me of the Kenny that I had seen before, the one I went somewhere in my mind.“I see you are proving stubborn,” he said as his eyes went down to the food that lay beside me. I would rather not have a taste of even water from this place, I didn’t want to take anything that was theirs.“You are going to remain here for a very, very long time, so you better get used to it” he regarded me sternly before turning around.As he walked away, my eyes were fixed on his back, they were stiff.The last time my eyes held him, they were hiding something, his stiff back was hiding something.Now I wonder what this is about. It is very much obvious that he isn’t working alone, he neither has the money

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED SIXTY-ONEMy eyes bulged in shock at the person who stood there. I wasn't expecting to see him, I wasn't expecting to look at him right now as he stood there and gazed heartily at me. Of course, it was a fake smile, nothing was real about the fact that he had me locked here and now smiling at me. “Well well it seems I have finally had that audience with you” he grinned as he came closer. I tried saying something as anger welled up inside of me. My mouth was gagged, I could not say a word and even when I tried moving, of course, I was tied up. He walked closer and then stood meters away from me as I shrieked and made noises wanting to move away from here. I wanted to smack my hand right across his face, Kenny, why will Kenny keep me locked here? “I mean, why are you looking so shocked? You think I was going to let you off like that? You embarrassed me with that divorce letter and what? You are going off another person almost immediately” He laughed again and nodded to the person beside me.

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED SIXTYDAMIENI checked the time again and again, but there was no still sight of her, and it was getting so late. Walking outside, I stood in front of the door and looked at the gate, hoping for it to open and for her to walk towards me, but as I stood, there was not a sign of her, this has me so worried. Not only have I been standing here, but I have tried the phone a thousand times, and it keeps going to voicemail, and I am legit worried. Calling my assistant, I demanded her friend's number as I had tried to search for it but didn't see it. She picked at the second ring. “Is Daisy there with you?” Once the greetings were over, I asked her.“No, she went back home like three hours ago, she said she wanted to get some groceries on her way home, and then I waited for her call but she still hadn't answered me. Is everything alright?”I have to tell her things are good before ending the call. She went to get groceries three hours ago and isn't back yet. There was only one place where she

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED FIFTY-NINEKatherine“It can’t be.” The same widened eyes and gasp that came from Juanita was the same on my face as soon as I had seen the name.“How does that even make sense? They are not fucking married” I yelled so loud into the air like that was where my anger was, and I was directing it at that.This was so painful and annoying at the same time, this wasn’t how it was supposed to be.It was meant to be one of my children and in that way, I can claim every single thing he ever owned, but now it isn’t. I turned to Bluey who looked at us with widened eyes and I walked to where she was seated.“I have called someone that will take you back to your father, you and each one of you I don’t need in my life, now when they are here, you get out of this house because you are so very useless to me” I could see the tears that began forming in her eyes, but that has and would never be a concern of mine.I wasn’t interested in marriage or even kids until he came and proclaimed thousands of love and wi

Chapter: Chapter 38JAIME ADRIELAfter a long, exhausting day at work, all I wanted was to unwind. But of course, the party I have been invited to still required my presence. And that’s where Clarissa came in.I sent her a message almost two hours ago, asking her to get ready. Even the dress I had delivered to her suite remained untouched. No confirmation, no reply. Where the hell was she?I shouldn’t be this angry, but I was. I was standing right in front of her door, and it was nearly 7 p.m. She wasn’t back.The irritation I have been holding in all day boiled over. She had already pissed me off earlier, ditching the first meeting without a single word. And now she couldn’t even be bothered to answer her phone? Not the calls. Not the dozen texts.That alone was enough reason to fire her, regardless of whatever agreement we had made. She was the first to break it. She was supposed to follow my schedule, not hers.Then the elevator dinged.Laughter, bright, warm, hers, echoed down the hallway before she

Chapter: Chapter 37Seven torturous hours later, I could barely see my screen. My back ached, my head pounded like a drum, and my neck felt like it was about to snap clean off. Yet, my boss still sat across from me, throwing piles and piles of work in my direction like I was some machine designed to never stop.In just three hours, we had another important meeting. So somehow, I was expected to show up looking fresh and capable, not like the zombie I was slowly turning into.The first groan that escaped my mouth all night earned me a sharp look from him, irritation flaring through his nose.“What exactly were you doing all evening before now?” he snapped, silencing the little complaint that had been building in my chest. I couldn’t even form a reply. What was I supposed to say? Watching TV and sipping wine before he barged in like the devil?He stood abruptly, and for a moment, hope bloomed in my chest.“I need to take this call,” he muttered, waving his phone at me, one I hadn’t even noticed ringing, be

Chapter: Chapter 36As soon as we landed in Paris, it was nothing but work, one meeting after another.Jaime didn’t even let us stop by the hotel. Instead, he instructed the driver to take our luggage there while we rushed straight into back-to-back meetings.Now, after the fourth meeting of the day, I felt like I was on the verge of collapse. My head throbbed, my back ached, and I could barely register what anyone was saying anymore. My thoughts were consumed by only two things, food and sleep.Meanwhile, the man sitting beside me looked as refreshed as ever.I know it wasn’t a long flight, but still, would it kill him to take a moment to breathe?“Miss Miller, are you taking notes?”His sharp tone snapped me out of my daze. I jerked upright and quickly scribbled something, anything, onto my notepad before it slipped from my fingers.I muttered under my breath as he continued talking, oblivious to my suffering. God, why is he such a workaholic?Suddenly, Jaime stood up and shook hands with the man we ha

Chapter: Chapter 35CLARISSA MILLERThe thought of going on a business trip with Mr. Adriel, well, Jaime, according to him, kept me up all night. Not a wink of sleep.And it wasn’t just that. My mind wouldn’t stop replaying everything that had happened the previous night.To make things worse, the people surrounding him were insufferable. Annoying, entitled, and self-absorbed. Just thinking about them made my irritation spike again.“Are you awake yet?” Jessy’s voice cut through my thoughts as she peeked into the room.I didn’t even bother pretending to be asleep.“Kind of,” I muttered, lifting my head to look at her.She laughed as she stepped inside, her eyes immediately landing on the suitcase sitting on the floor.“This is the only bag you’re taking?” she asked, her nose wrinkling in distaste.“Yes. What else do you expect me to bring?”Without answering, she flicked on the light and marched toward my bag. Before I could react, she dropped to the floor and popped it open.“What the hell?” I scrambled

Chapter: Chapter 34Silence filled the car. Jaime had ditched his driver and was behind the wheel himself, his hands steady on the wheel as he drove us through the city. I sat in the front seat beside him, unsure of how I should act or what this impromptu outing was really about.I never imagined that simply sitting in the front seat with a man could feel so… intimate. Not that I was saying this was romantic, but still.Soft blues played through the speakers, filling the space between us. Jaime tapped his fingers against the steering wheel in rhythm with the music, his expression unreadable.I kept my hands folded in my lap, staring out the window, lost in thought, when his voice suddenly cut through the quiet.“What kind of music do you like?”I blinked and turned to look at him, caught off guard. Out of all the things he could have asked, I wasn’t expecting that.“Why do you look so surprised?” he asked, glancing at me briefly before returning his focus to the road.“I just didn’t expect you to ask me

Chapter: Chapter 33Mr. Jaime returned to the office hours later, looking as furious as ever.He didn’t spare me a glance as he walked straight to his office, slamming the door behind him.Okay, that was weird.Even when he was angry, he never slammed doors.Now I was completely confused. Should I go in and check on him? Should I show him the messages he received while he was away? What exactly should I do that wouldn’t make him bite my head off?Deciding it was best to inform him about his messages, I stood up and made my way to his office.Just as I was about to push the door open, I realized it was slightly ajar, and I heard him shouting. Curious, I pressed my ear against the door.“Can you imagine that? Talking to me about family values as if he doesn’t know what our family is, why we’re the most successful in this part of the world.”He was on the phone, no doubt about that. And whoever he was speaking to, he was venting to them about whatever had him so pissed off.“Exactly. I’m not trying to monop

Chapter: Chapter 35As soon as I got into the car, I braced myself. Luna Verena had a lot to say, I just knew it.But to my surprise, she remained silent throughout the ride to the training grounds. The tension between us was thick, suffocating. I could practically hear her unspoken thoughts, and it made my wolf restless.When we arrived, I reached for the door, relieved that she hadn’t said a word. But who was I kidding?“I want to speak with you,” she finally said, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.My hand fell away from the handle as I turned to face her. Of course, she wanted to talk.“Sure,” I replied, forcing a polite smile. But deep down, all I wanted was to get out of the car and away from this conversation.“I heard what happened back at the packhouse,” she said. “How your mate, Alpha Ashvin, punished some of the servants for what they said.”I narrowed my eyes. Out of everything that had happened today, this wasn’t what I expected her to bring up. And how did she even hear abo

Chapter: Chapter 34ZAHRA-ROSEThe news of what had happened spread so quickly through the entire pack that by morning, it was no longer a secret.I had already braced myself for the weight of the day, everyone would be on edge, and that tension would only make things worse.Looking down at the simple outfit I had chosen for the day, I knew I didn’t want to step outside. But I had no choice, I was Luna now, and no matter how much I wished to stay hidden, I had to face the pack.As for Ashvin, he hadn’t returned since last night. I knew he was working tirelessly to uncover who had dared to set fire to our lands, to punish whoever was responsible.“I’m sure he will be alright. He will take care of everything,” Eira murmured in my mind.I wanted to believe her. But a deep, unsettling feeling lingered in my chest.After getting ready, I left my room and walked toward the dining area, where a table full of food awaited me. But I had no appetite. My stomach churned at the thought of forcing down even a single

Chapter: Chapter 33ASHVIN HARVEY I stared at the ruins before me, my claws itching to unsheathe as rage curled at the back of my neck. The scent of burnt wood and scorched earth filled my nostrils, mixing with the lingering stench of smoke.I forced myself to hold back the fury simmering beneath my skin, my wolf, Zen, prowling inside me, restless and ready to tear into someone.“Control yourself,” I reminded myself, even as my hands clenched into fists.Kai had gone to check the wreckage while I stood there, watching my warriors try to put out the last of the flames. The crackling fire had died down, but the damage was already done.“Alpha Ashvin.”I turned sharply, my golden eyes locking onto one of the elders approaching me. His posture was stiff, his scent laced with apprehension. He knew how furious I was.“What do you want?” I bit out, my voice laced with the growl rumbling in my chest. I shouldn’t let this small act of destruction rattle me, but it did.“We have to find who did this,” the elder s

Chapter: Chapter 32Ashvin helped me get to the pack house, ran a bath for me, and told me to relax while the scent of freshly cooked meat and roasted vegetables drifted from the table. My stomach growled in response.“Come eat with me,” I said before he could slip out the door.He paused, turning back toward me. His golden eyes darkened, the intensity behind them sharper than I had ever seen before.His gaze held mine, and slowly, so slowly, it drifted down to my lips. My heart hammered violently at the way his eyes lingered there.“I would love to,” his words dragged out, low and smooth. His eyes were still locked on my lips, a flicker of heat darkening his irises. “But I have a lot to do tonight. I hope you understand.”He didn’t move until I nodded reluctantly. Only then did he turn and slip out the door.At the sound of the door closing, I let out a shaky breath. Why was I suddenly so aware of him?Okay, it wasn’t sudden. Not really. But it was probably better that he had left… or else…..“I know wh

Chapter: Chapter 31ZAHRA-ROSEThe nerves hit me hard as I walked toward the training grounds. My senses were sharper than ever. I could hear their voices loud and clear, not just the people nearby, but even those standing further away. Their breathing, the shuffle of their feet, the whispered words laced with suspicion and disdain, my ears picked up everything.I stopped walking, my heart hammering against my ribcage. It was overwhelming. Too much. I didn’t know how to shut it out.“Breathe, Zahra-Rose. I’m sure everything will be fine.”Her voice drifted through my mind, soft and steady, my wolf’s presence grounding me. I didn’t have a name for her yet, but her tone alone was enough to steady my spiraling thoughts.“Zahra-Rose.”I turned sharply at the familiar sound of the voice to see Ashvin’s mother, Luna Verena, walking toward me.I didn’t know why, but the moment I saw her, I felt calmer. Maybe because I knew she would be overseeing the training today.“Luna Verena.” I moved toward her and was ab

Chapter: Chapter 30ASHVIN HARVEY’S POVMy mate.It still feels surreal. Just like her, I had searched for my mate, and at some point, I accepted that the Moon Goddess had never intended to give me one.With the strength she gave me, with the qualities that only a strong Alpha could possess, I knew it was a punishment, that was why she never gave me a helpmate.Until the day I met Zahra-Rose. I never knew my heart could beat for anything other than power and survival.Which is why I reprimand myself for feeling that way about my little brother’s planned mate. And yet, when I heard they weren’t mated, I felt a flicker of hope.If she didn’t have a wolf and I didn’t have a mate, what a perfect combination. That's what I told myself the day my father proposed that Zahra and I get married.And yet, when everything seemed to be going wrong for her, when the pack whispered behind her back and the gossip wouldn’t stop, her wolf showed up. And to my utmost relief, she is my mate. Mine.‘She belongs to us.’ Zen,
