BLAIR’S POV My family was happy. I just became the owner of one of the high-ranking companies in Vegas. My boy just turned one, how could I not be ready. Now I could categorically say that my life had never been happier. All I had been fighting for, for as long as I could remember and now had, and the very last thing on my list, was getting married to the one man that had been able to love me, through thick, thin, storm, hails, the rain of fire, brimstone and Sulphur. Through fairly good times and the bad times, through moments where I struggled to love myself. I couldn’t be more delighted. Contrary to Brian’s request, we were having a quiet wedding with the people that mattered the most to us. The very ones who watched our love story began in the craziest of ways, the ones who loved us through the toughest times and encouraged us to love each other through what felt like the possible. Tears flowed down my cheeks, with no apologies whatsoever to my makeup, as II walked down the

BLAIR’S POV I stood in front of the court, with a racing heart. For the last three months, we had been going back and forth with the company’s case in court and this was the day for the court’s final verdict. With Jennifer’s help, we were able to pull down some of the board members, who were then in the picture and they had given their testimonies to the best of their knowledge at the time.Some of them had also patched their relationship with my father, understanding that at the time, he was being manipulated and couldn’t have been able to help himself. The others thought it was wise to maintain their distance, saying that they were only offering the help they could for mine and Jennifer’s sake and didn’t think it was necessary to have a continuing relationship with my father. In it and through it all, we were grateful that they even showed up, some of which were outside the country already, but all returned for a justifiable cause.“Common, let’s go. I know we have this.” Brian

BLAIR’S POV “Blair!” she ran to me with a hug,This was not one of Jennice’s tricks at all. It really was Jennifer. I was filled with awe. “What?” Jennice asked. “You really didn’t think I was going to let that evil sister of mine kill my only child, did you?” Jennice asked.“What?” I was still stunned. All of me was vibrating. “Oh, sit down.” Jennice said. “I had Jennifer when I was quite young and since my stupid lover would not take me and the child and I was still trying to find my foot in the world I was left to live in, I couldn’t keep her.” Jennice began to explain. “I figured it would be better for her to be in an orphanage, than out here with me and so I took her there.” “It ached my heart that I began to travel a lot and lost track of keeping an eye on her, so she began to go through so much stress.”“When I returned to fix it, I realized my twin sister was after her life.”“Jennifer really was involved in that accident that day, but I stole her from the vehicle and

BLAIR’S POV “I could not believe my ears. “Please, show up alone first.’ She pleaded. Before could be asked twice, I fled out of the house, swiping the keys to the car from the table.It wasn’t long after I left the house that I got a text with a location. I diligently followed, not thinking about whether or not I was going to get myself in trouble, or probably kidnapped. I still had my suspicions on who had called and all I could call it was suspicion, since I wasn’t sure yet and it would have been the most unbelievable thing. I followed the location and arrived almost in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but trees all round I was beginning to think this was some prank call or an attempt at being kidnapped. If it was, I couldn’t even be mad and all I could now do was pray to be successfully out of here. ‘Maybe I had reacted a little too quickly.’‘What was I even thinking?’ I was lamenting and asking questions.I kept trying to reach the number over and over again, bu

BLAIR’S POV Sebastine did not wait to see his father before we left.Luckily, I could leave, although, with a bandaged arm. The bullet had been taken out and the wound was going to slowly heal and I was definitely going to keep seeing Dr. Bruce to make sure that I was fine. Sebastine signed every single thing in his name back to his father and he was leaving the Maldives to literally start a new life in Vegas. He chose us. My only excitement was that we arrived just in time to save him, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to react to losing another member of my family, especially to suicide. When we arrived Vegas, we dropped over at Brian’s house first. Sebastine was going to be living with Brian, before he is able to do anything else.He was done with college and could easily get a job, even though Brian had already promised to include him in the company. Sebastine, had declined both Brian’s, as well as my offer, to work in the company, saying he was tired of family ‘hand-m

BLAIR’S POV We walked into Sebastine with a gun in his hand, just about to fire a bullet into his head. Brian flew for him and I could only stand there in tears, since I had Regal in my hands and couldn't quite get involved in any rigorous fights. Sebastine was hell bent on ending his life, as he began a struggle with Brian for the weapon. “Let it go, Brian!” He yelled, “you both, get out of here!” “Let me be!” He and Brian continued the war for the weapon. “Sebastine, no, please, I beg you.” Ever single word I uttered was choking in tears. “It doesn't have to end this way, please,” I continued. “What other ways does it need to end, Blair?” He probed, “huh?” Luckily, Brian was stronger than Sebastine, sho had spent quite a number of days, without food, but this did not in any way deter the struggle. I took a few steps closer, towards them, trying to beg Sebastine to let go already. “Argh!” I groaned in pain, as a bullet flew out of the gun and right for m the region between

SELENEThe first sign was the silence.Not the peaceful kind. Not the quiet of sleeping children or a calm night.This silence was wrong.Heavy.Pressing.I woke with a sharp inhale, my heart racing before my mind could catch up. The room was dark, but the moonlight spilling through the curtains felt… distant.Muted.Beside me, the children slept.Too still.My stomach dropped.I sat up slowly, every instinct on edge. The air felt thick, like it was resisting me.Something’s here.My wolf stirred, not in fear.In warning.I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake them, and moved toward the door.The moment my hand touched the handle.Pain shot through my chest.I gasped, staggering back as something unseen tightened around me, like invisible chains locking into place.My breath came shallow.My pulse stuttered.A suppression field.But not like yesterday.This one was targeted.Focused.On me.⸻JAXI felt it from across the wing.A sharp drop in energy.Like something had clamped dow

SELENEBy evening, the pack no longer pretended.Wherever I walked, conversations dipped. Eyes followed. Guards doubled their routes. Even the wind felt like it was carrying whispers.Councilor Rhys had done that.Or maybe… I had.I found Anna in the small herb room near the kitchens, grinding leaves with more force than necessary.“You’re scaring the plants,” I said.She didn’t look up. “Good. Maybe they’ll learn to run.”I closed the door behind me. “What did you hear?”Anna finally met my gaze. “Enough. The observer isn’t just watching, he’s asking about you. About the children. About yesterday.”My chest tightened. “Of course he is.”“And Tamara?” Anna’s voice dropped. “She’s been in and out of the council wing all day.”That didn’t surprise me.“Jax?” she added.I hesitated. “Trying.”Anna snorted softly. “He’d better try harder.”I almost smiled.Almost.A knock sounded, firm and controlled.Anna stiffened.I didn’t.“Come in,” I said.The door opened.Councilor Rhys stepped ins

Morning did not come gently.It came with tension thick enough to taste.Selene felt it the moment she stepped outside her quarters. The way the air buzzed, the way wolves stood a little straighter, spoke a little softer. Even the guards at the Alpha wing entrance were in full formal uniform.The Council’s observer had arrived.Her wolf shifted uneasily beneath her skin.Careful, it warned.Selene didn’t need the reminder.Across the courtyard, Eli and Evan walked between two junior guards assigned to them “for safety.” The boys looked more curious than worried, their identical dark heads bent together in quiet conversation.Too exposed.Selene’s jaw tightened.She hated this.⸻Inside the Alpha conference hall, the entire senior leadership was already gathered.Jeff stood near the long oak table, posture rigid. Tamara sat elegantly at the far end, perfectly composed, her expression the picture of polite interest.And Jax…Jax was standing.Waiting.His silver eyes flicked toward the

The summons arrived at dawn.Selene knew what it was the moment she saw the black wax seal pressed into the thick parchment. The crescent and claw insignia of the High Council gleamed faintly in the early morning light, cold and unmistakable.Her stomach tightened.Across the small kitchen table, Eli was carefully buttering toast while Evan sat swinging his legs beneath his chair, humming softly to himself. For a moment, Selene simply watched them, memorizing the ordinary peace of the scene.Because peace never lasted long in this pack.She broke the seal.Her eyes moved quickly across the words.Then slowed.Then went completely still.“Mom?” Eli’s sharp little voice cut through the silence. “What is it?”Selene folded the letter carefully, too carefully. “Nothing you need to worry about.”That was the first lie of the day.⸻By mid-morning, the entire pack compound felt… different.Too quiet.Too watchful.Selene kept her head high as she walked the familiar path toward the administ

SELENEThe world narrowed to my daughter’s trembling body in Tamara’s arms.Everything else faded.The trees.The wolves.The cold bite of night air.All I could see was Luca’s tear streaked face, her small hands reaching for me like she was afraid I might disappear again.My heart felt like it was tearing itself apart.“Please,” I said, stepping forward despite Jax’s grip tightening around my fingers. “Tamara… give her back.”Tamara studied me with cool fascination.“You always beg,” she murmured. “Even now.”“I’m not begging,” I said quietly.Something inside me shifted.Heat rushed through my veins, sharp and electric, crawling up my spine. My wolf stirred, not in fear, not in rage but in recognition.Tamara noticed it too.Her eyes flicked briefly to the ground, then back to me.“You feel it, don’t you?” she said softly. “That thing waking up inside you.”Jax moved in front of me instinctively.“Touch her and you die.”Tamara laughed. “Still pretending you can control fate?”She l

SELENEI was already moving before my mind caught up.The scream tore through the corridor like shattered glass, sharp and unmistakable.My daughter.I ran.Bare feet slapped against cold marble as panic exploded in my chest. My wolf surged forward, desperate and wild, drowning out every other thought.“Selene!” Jax shouted behind me.I didn’t stop.Anna met me halfway down the hall, her face pale, eyes frantic.“They took Luca,” she cried. “They tried to grab Arin too but he fought and he bit one of them!”My vision tunneled.Luca.My baby girl.My knees nearly gave out.Jax was beside me in an instant, his hand gripping my shoulder hard enough to ground me.“Where?” he demanded.Anna pointed toward the west stairwell.He didn’t hesitate.He shifted mid-run.Bones cracked. Fur tore through skin. The Alpha wolf exploded into existence, massive and terrifying, his roar shaking the walls as he tore down the corridor.Guards flooded the halls.Alarms began to howl.I followed as far as m
