Chapter: 141.Avery’s POV The word boyfriend hit her like a jolt of electricity. They knew about Asher. They knew who he was. They knew he would come for her. The thought terrified her even more. She did not want Asher walking into a trap.“Please,” she said, clutching her ribs. Every breath hurt. “Do not hurt my sons or Asher. They have nothing to do with this.”The taller man stepped closer. His voice carried an emotionless chill. “You are not giving us what we want.”“I do not have it,” she cried. “You have to believe me. I do not even know where to begin looking.”Silence wrapped around her like a noose. Her heartbeat became the loudest sound in the room.“Then you are useless,” the first man said. “And useless people do not live long.”Her heart dropped. “Please. Wait. Listen to me. I can help you look. I can talk to someone. I can try. Just do not kill me.”He stepped forward. “Let’s try this again, shall we?”“You’re Avery Wellesley,” the man said, his voice too calm. “The woman Henry Welle

Chapter: 140.Avery’s POVThe sharp scent of oil and metal hit Avery’s nostrils before her eyes finished adjusting to the dim light filtering through the warehouse ceiling. The air was thick and stale, as if it had been trapped in the building for years, unmoving and heavy. Her wrists throbbed from the roughness of the rope cutting into her skin. Every pulse felt like a hot needle pressing deeper. Her shoulders ached from how violently she had been tossed around during the kidnapping. She remembered the van swerving on the road, her body slamming into the metal walls with every harsh turn. They had enjoyed her struggle. She could tell from the laughter she heard every time she cried or begged to be let go. The concrete floor beneath her was brutally cold. It felt like lying on ice, and the chill began creeping up her spine and spreading through her entire body like a silent warning that she was somewhere she was not meant to leave alive.She blinked through the fog in her vision. Shadows moved

Chapter: 139.Asher's POVAsher stormed through the wide double doors of the Storm mansion with his heart pounding so hard that he felt the vibration in his throat. He held Noel tightly against his chest. The little boy clung to him with trembling arms and wet cheeks, his small fingers curled like claws into Asher’s shirt. Behind him, Callaghan entered with Neal gripping his shoulder. Neal did not cry, but his eyes were wide and empty, as if he had not yet understood that he was safe.Safe. The boys were safe. That should have been enough to make Asher breathe again. It should have loosened the iron band around his ribs and allowed him one moment of relief. He had imagined that moment so many times in the last few hours. The moment he recovered them. The moment he brought them home.But relief did not come.Because Avery was not here.She was supposed to be here.He felt the house hold its breath the second he stepped inside. Georgia rushed forward and gasped when she saw Noel. She took the boy

Chapter: 138.Avery’s POV She didn’t know how long she was unconscious. Minutes. Hours. A lifetime. Time didn’t feel real anymore. When she finally opened her eyes, her vision blurred and swam in slow, dizzy spirals. Her head throbbed painfully, like someone had struck her with something heavy.Her tongue felt thick. Dry. When she tried to swallow, her throat burned.Where am I?She blinked again, forcing her eyes to adjust. The cloth was gone, but that didn’t help much. The darkness was thick enough to choke on.Her wrists burned. She tugged, feeling the sharp bite of plastic zip ties cutting into her skin. Her ankles were bound too, tighter than her wrists. Every movement sent a wave of pain up her legs.Avery lifted her head just enough to see a faint light flickering overhead. A dying bulb hung from a long wire, swinging lazily as though pushed by a breeze that didn’t exist. The faint glow revealed metal beams, stacked crates, peeling cement, and shadows so deep they looked alive.A warehous

Chapter: 137.Avery’s POV Avery sat in the living room, waiting for news from Asher or even Callaghan. Something, anything to give her hope.Her arms wrapped tightly around herself as though she could hold her shaking body still. The room felt too big, too quiet, too heavy with everything that had gone wrong. She kept staring at the front door, almost expecting her boys to run through it with their messy hair and bright smiles. Neal and Noel. Her babies. Her heart felt like it was breaking over and over again every time she remembered the sight of their empty beds.They were gone.Taken.Snatched from the house in the middle of the night while she was even still awake. That was the most heartbreaking part.A cold shiver ran down her spine. Every sound in the house made her flinch. Every shadow looked like danger. Her mind kept replaying the last night she tucked them in; Neal rubbing his eyes and yawning, Noel hugging his toy car to his chest. She remembered the soft way they mumbled, “Goodnigh

Chapter: 136.Asher’s POVThe drive to Greystone felt endless. The city lights slid across the SUV windows, stretching and smearing like they were being pulled by invisible hands. In reality, it had only been about thirty minutes, but every second felt like it was slowing down on purpose, trapping him in the space between fear and fury.Callaghan sat beside him in the front seat of the black SUV. His headset was on, his fingers brushing the mic as he gave short updates. Behind them, three unmarked vehicles followed in formation. Red and blue lights were hidden, engines low and steady. This was not a chase. This was a retrieval. Precision mattered.Asher stared out the window, jaw tight. His reflection looked pale and drawn. Not from fear. From the ache that had settled deep in his chest. Neal and Noel. His boys. His sons. Their bright eyes, their tiny hands, the way they tugged at his sleeves and called him daddy with complete trust. Those memories were supposed to give him strength, but right

Chapter: EPILOGUE I year later The wind blew again, this time stronger than the first. Alister adjusted the thick fur cloak on Luciana’s shoulders and smiled as she buried her head in the crook of his arms. In her condition, she wasn’t supposed to be there but she was as stubborn as him. “Do you think she’s looking down on us and regretting what she did?" Luciana mumbled. Alister sighed; he knew that Ophelia regretted what she did and that was why she had killed herself, but he didn't know whether she had found peace in the afterlife. “I hope she found peace after all”, he mumbled. “ I miss her…the kids too” Luciana said. Alister nodded. He wouldn’t admit it, but he also missed her. He had forgiven her for what she did and would have loved it if Ophelia knew that she was forgiven. They stayed that way for a while before someone cleared their throat behind them. He knew who it was even before he turned to face the person. Elijah was standing there with a white rose in his hands, Ophelia’s favorit

Chapter: chapter 80Alister’s POVThe fight is in full force, and so far, the Black Moon pack seems to be holding their own. He looked around the fighting ground once again and couldn’t spot his uncle Helster. He knew his uncle’s wolf by now. If Helster’s wolf wasn’t on the battlefield, then where was he?A rogue charged at him, and he pounced on the wolf, tearing its spine away from its body and killing it instantly. The more Rogues they fight and kill, the more additional Rogues charge out of the woods.He saw Elijah finishing off another rogue, and his mind linked to him.“Helster is not here; why?”Elijah turned around and shifted into his human form. He ran back to where Alister was standing, already shifted into his human form.“I wouldn't want to believe that he’s hiding." Alister said.Elijah shook his head and said, “He wants the pack; he’s not hiding. I think he wants to sneak into the pack from another border. Catch us unawares." he said.Just then, as Alister wanted to respond, Peter’s

Chapter: chapter 79Luciana’s POVElder Haruto is dead. Wilson had said to her last night after he had returned to his house. He was now the head of the council and would preside over their case. She felt relieved that things were indeed working in their favor.Luciana shifted in her chair. She was waiting for their case to be called, like every other person who was there. She looked around, trying to see if Alpha Reed was already there, but she didn’t see him.Maybe it was a good thing that they would meet inside and not out in the open, she didn't know if she could control herself if she saw him out there in the open.“Black Velvet Pack!" a werewolf standing by the door called.She saw an Alpha stand up and walk into the room where the hearing was being held. Their case was the next one; she had seen the order earlier when Wilson had spoken to her.She pulled the folder out and held it firmly on her lap. The future of their pack depended on her, and as much as she had been the one who had caused all th

Chapter: chapter 78Alister’s POVIt was hard. Knowing that his mate was somewhere in the council, doing what he was supposed to be doing, was hard. It had been hard letting her go, and even now, he had to restrict himself from entering a car and driving to the council." Daddy… I want to pee." Keita said, tapping his leg.Alister rolled his eyes, looking down at the boy. “You just did that like five minutes ago”, he mumbled.Keita frowned. “I know, but I still want to go. Mom would be upset if I peed on myself,” he said, pouting his lips.Alister shook his head. Either Keita was missing his mother and didn’t know how to communicate his feelings, or he was trying to be difficult and frustrate him. He suspected it was both.“Fine, let’s go”, he said, picking Keita up. The moment he moved to leave, Omar jumped up from the chair and followed them. Alister sighed. It was going to be hard trying to pull Omar away from him when the time came to defend the pack, and Luciana was not yet back.Thankfully, the re

Chapter: chapter 77Reed’s POVReed arrived at the council the next morning. He could feel his victory, and that gave him the confidence to enter the council building. He still had time before the hearing, so he decided to pay a visit to Veronica, his mother.Her office was not far from the academy. He climbed the stairs and walked down the hallway until he got to her door.He knocked twice and waited for her response before pushing the door open and entering the small office. His mother was sitting behind her desk, and she looked like she had never aged since he last saw her.Veronica lifted her head and the surprise on her face was obvious. He didn't blame her for being shocked at him standing in her office; he too would be shocked if he were in her position.Growing up, they never had the best mother-son relationship. She was more like a figure who was just there beside his father. He hated her for that—for not loving him like every other mother loved their children.She pulled the glasses off her fac

Chapter: chapter 76Luciana’s POVLuciana closed the zipper of her luggage with a sigh. She was ready to leave, but her heart couldn’t bear to see them all as she was leaving. She could hear the different voices gathered in her living room to bid her goodbye.She sighed and dragged her luggage out of the room, walking down the stairs.“Oh Lucia." Ophelia mumbled, coming up to her to envelope her in a huge hug. Luciana buried herself in the hug.It wasn’t that she was going away from the council for long. Hell, she was just going to be gone for two or three days, so she didn't understand why they were all acting like she was going to be gone for a year.“Take care of yourself and my boys,” she muttered close to Ophelia’s ears.Ophelia nodded her head and released her. “I will. Stay safe,” she said, taking the luggage from Luciana and carrying it outside towards the waiting car.Alister was the next one to come up to her. He was holding Omar, who had refused to let him go and was clinging to him.“You can

SHATTERED ICE:One rink, bound by betrayal
“You kissed me like it meant something,” Samantha whispered.
“Then disappeared like I never existed.”
Anthony stared at her, jaw tight. “You heard half a sentence and ran. I spent years thinking you regretted me.”
One rink. Two enemies. A past that won’t stay buried.
Samantha Meadows just got the chance of a lifetime, skating at Nationals with Anthony Vale, the golden boy of the rink in figure skating… and the most insufferable man she’s ever met.
He’s arrogant, untouchable, and still technically partnered with his injured and possibly returning teammate, while She’s picking the broken pieces of her career after her ex dumped her for a flashier and better partner.
Now forced into a temporary pairing, they have days to master trust, chemistry, and choreography, or crash hard under the spotlight.
But the ice isn’t the only thing cracked. Anthony’s hiding a secret that could end his career… and hers. And when Samantha discovers the truth, she realizes she’s not just fighting for a medal… she’s fighting for her heart.
In a world where one mistake can cost everything, how do you trust the person who never lets you in… and still holds the pieces of your past?

Chapter: 121.Samantha’s POV I was too tired to argue, and honestly, my nerves were buzzing too much to eat properly. The festival wasn’t just a performance; it was a charity gala supporting visually impaired youth. Anna had been invited to attend, as a former skater who’s battling with an eye condition, but she refused because she didn’t want to “hover like a nervous parent.” Her words, not mine.“So… you packed everything?” Ryan asked, leaning slightly forward like he was bracing for an important answer.“Yes,” I said, taking a sip of tea. It was still too hot and burned my tongue, which somehow felt like the universe agreeing with my mood.He nodded quickly, as if this was step one of a very serious checklist he had personally created. “Good. Great. Very organised. So, um… need help carrying your bags? I can handle it.”“I’m fine,” I replied, trying not to sound like I was chewing glass.“Oh. Okay. Cool.” He nodded again, his fingers tapping a jittery rhythm on the table. “Cool. Cool.” Then he

Chapter: 120.Samantha’s POVThe morning of the festival trip started earlier than I wanted. My alarm hadn’t even buzzed yet when a soft knock tapped on my bedroom door.“Samantha? You awake?”I recognized the voice immediately and resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Ryan. Anna’s cousin. Twenty-seven, cheerful to the point of irritation, “helpful” in the way someone becomes when they want to impress you. He had arrived two nights ago, suitcase in hand, all smiles and confidence. And apparently, very little respect for privacy.“One second,” I called out, though my voice barely carried through the door. I Dragged myself upright, feeling every inch of my body protest the hour, and grabbed the oversized hoodie at the foot of the mattress. The room was still dim, still warm from sleep, still quiet enough that I could pretend I had a choice in whether to face the day.I shuffled to the door and cracked it open an inch. “What is it?” I mumbled in my sleep voice.Ryan’s grin was already there, stretched

Chapter: 119.Celeste’s POV My voice was iron. Hearing it out loud made something shift inside me. It felt like a lock turning, like a gate slamming shut. And with that came a cold, awful relief, somewhere between victory and ruin.Parker gave a slow nod, approval balanced with caution. “Understood. We will move quickly. Expect calls, subpoenas, and a lot of communication from us. And Celeste…” He folded his hands neatly on the desk. “…prepare yourself for scrutiny. Every detail of your career, your injury, your recovery, your relationship with Anthony. It will all be pulled apart.”I inhaled, bracing. “I know.”He watched me for a moment, studying my tension like it was an X-ray only he could read. “There are rules you need to follow from this point forward. Nonnegotiable rules.”“Okay,” I said. A part of me straightened instinctively, like I was being coached again. “Tell me.”“First,” he said, lifting a finger, “you do not meet with Anthony. Not privately, not accidentally, not for closure, no

Chapter: 118.Celeste’s POVParker folded his hands again. “Good. From here on, we take each step strategically. I will handle the legal response. You focus on staying quiet publicly. No social media posts. No vague quotes that can be used against you. Anything you say will be monitored.”I forced a breath. “Fine.”“And Celeste,” he added, his tone softening, “I know you want justice. You deserve justice. But I also want to keep you protected. Let me take the hits for you in court, not in the media.”His words steadied something inside me, even if only for a moment.I sat back in the chair, letting the reality settle: Anthony was fighting, the federation would watch, the press would circle, and this was only the beginning.But for the first time in days, my fear slowly sharpened into focus.“If he wants a war,” I said quietly, “then he picked the wrong person to underestimate.”Parker gave a small, approving smile. “Then let us build the strongest case possible.”I nodded, gripping the armrests of

Chapter: 117.Celeste’s POVThe receptionist at the front desk greeted us politely, her professional smile not quite hiding the flicker of recognition in her eyes. I was used to it by now, the whispers, the pitying looks, but I didn’t meet her gaze. I just signed in and followed Lena down the hall.“You okay?” Lena asked quietly once we were out of earshot.“I’m fine,” I lied. “Just… tired.”“Tired,” she repeated softly, as if testing the word. “You’ve been tired since the fall.”I didn’t answer that. I couldn’t.We stopped outside Parker’s office, his name gleaming in gold on the frosted glass. Lena turned to me, her voice low. “Whatever he says, don’t lose your cool, okay? That’s exactly what Anthony’s hoping for.”I gave a humorless laugh. “I stopped losing my cool a long time ago.”She raised a brow. “You sure about that?”I sighed. “No.”Before I could second-guess myself, Lena pushed open the door.Attorney Parker’s office smelled faintly of leather and old paper when I arrived.

Chapter: 116.Celeste’s POVThe phone rang like an alarm cutting through the quiet of my apartment, shrill and unwelcome. I glanced at the clock on the kitchen wall, late afternoon, and for a suspended second I let myself imagine it was Lena calling with another pep talk, a text about next steps, anything that would keep me rooted to something other than the slow, grinding panic that had lived under my ribs since the appointment.“Celeste Hart,” I answered, voice smaller than I intended. My voice sounded foreign in my own ears.“Miss Hart, it’s Parker.” My lawyer’s voice was brisk, professional. “I need to see you at the office. It’s urgent.”Urgent. The word landed like a stone. I felt the air leave me for a breath. “Is everything all right?” I asked, trying to keep my tone steady even as my stomach constricted.“No… well, there’s been movement on Anthony Vale’s side. He’s engaged counsel. There are a few things we need to discuss in person. Can you come in within the hour?”My hands went suddenl
