Chapter: Chapter : 5. My punishments..ANA’S POV:- Leaving Theo in his crib, I went out with the three kids to face my punishment and as we were taught, we all came to stand in a row, straight and silent, waiting for the lesson. As always, Hector came out of their room with a cane in hand and swiped it once on a nearby wall for testing, making all of us flinch. Hector is a guy in her late forties, fat and disgusting. He works at a constriction site, and always reeks of alcohol. He has the heart of a monster that doesn’t feel pity for anyone. I don’t know how the child welfare services permit a man like him to foster. “Today we got a call from a teacher because apparently one of you is not doing your homework. And you know the rule. If you want to stay in this house you have to work, study and look after yourself or else... Ana, you know the drill. Get in place.” My body was quivering like I was freezing in fear. No matter who breaks the rule among us kids, I’ll always be the one to get punished because I’m the eldes

Chapter: Chapter : 4. Still a long day ahead..ANA’S POV :-I was confused about what just happened or what Jordan meant by that. So, I decided to talk to him about it later. But for now, I have to talk to Mr Hance about the project first.“What is this Ana? You failed to submit your project again? I gave you two extra days to finish it, but you still failed to do it. How long will this go on for? Just because you live in foster care, do you expect everyone to have pity on you and pass you on tests? Those days are over now. You left me with no choice but to fail you this semester.”“Sir, please. Give me one more day. I will give you the papers by tomorrow. I promise. I just need one more day. Please, sir. I beg you.” He took a deep breath as he gave it another thought.,“Fine. I’ll give you another opportunity. I’m going to call your foster parents and let them know what you’re doing in college. And if they promise me that you’ll do better in the future, I will give you two more days to finish the project.” My eyes went wide the mo

Chapter: Chapter : 3. A perfect guy I like..ANA’S POV :- “Lance. Get your hands off of her, please.” Thankfully, my only saviour in college, the captain of the football team and our class president, Jordan came to my rescue in time before this pervert ended up in a full make-out session with me right in the hallway. “You’re lucky that Jordan got a like on you, you dry bitch.” Slamming his hand on the locker right beside me and making me flinch, Lance moved away from me. “Guys. How many times have I told you not to bully your classmates? Do you wish to get in trouble with the principal? Leave Ana alone and go to your classes. Nora. Please go..” “Okay. I’m leaving just because you told me so sweetly, captain. See you later.” I saw Nora wink at Jordan, but I pretended not to care to not show them how jealous it made me. I kind of have a crush on him that I failed to declare. “Hey? Are you okay?” After driving everyone away, he came to stand in front of me, towering over me with his tall and well-built figure and charming smil

Chapter: Chapter : 2. The Gray ATHAT SAME MORNING..ANA’S POV :-“Ana.. Ana. Wake up already. You’re getting late..”“Yes… I’m up. I’m up... What time is it?”Jumping up from my chair startled, I started looking around with my still sleepy eyes to understand what time of the day it was. Was it dawn or evening?“It’s 5.30 in the morning. You fell asleep while doing your homework again?” Looking at the scattered books and files on the table, I realized that I failed to finish my project again.“Shit! I’m so screwed today. Lyla, help me get everyone ready. I’ll finish the cleaning first.”Stuffing the books back in my bag, I rushed to clean the house before our foster parents woke up. They don’t like their apartment dirty. Once it was done, I went back to our room to make sure all three of the kids were getting ready for school and the little one was awake. After cleaning up the toddler, I took a quick bath and got ready for college before I went to make breakfast for them all.Carrying the the little one in one arm and

Chapter: Chapter : 1. The vision of her..VINCENT’S POV :-“Boss. This is the guy who’s been leaking our transport information to the Dirigeants. He's in the cargo department and I doubt that he was the one responsible for the missing shipment last week. What should we do with him now?”Leaning back on the leather seat of my Rolls Royce, I opened the first two buttons of my shirt, revealing a little sight of my muscular chest. Looking at the picture of the traitor in the iPad my right-hand man Hugo presented, I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes to vision what punishment I could give him.“Bring him to the base and skin him. Hang that bastard upside down where everyone can see him bleed slowly to death. They need to witness the punishment for betraying me.”“Yes, boss.”It was a long day for me and being able to return home after a tough week, I just want to get in bed and sleep. So I didn't open my eyes and tried to take some rest when all of a sudden the car came to an abrupt stop with a loud screeching noise, making m

Chapter: Chapter : 70.The next morning dawned clear and bright, a contrast to the turmoil simmering beneath the surface of the rogue camp. The light cast long, warm rays over the trees, filtering through the canopy to reach the ground where the rogues were already gathering, talking in hushed tones as they prepared for the uncertain day ahead.Elara watched from the edge of the camp, her heart heavy with the weight of everything they were facing. The plan she and Alec had discussed—to weaken Luka by turning his pack against him—was risky, but it was their best chance. She knew it wouldn’t be easy. Luka’s influence over his pack was rooted in fear, and unraveling that control would take more than just a few well-placed words. They needed proof, something undeniable that would show his followers who he truly was.Beside her, Alec’s figure was tense, his gaze distant as he went over the plan again in his mind. She could feel the tension radiating from him, and she knew that he felt the same weight pressing do

Chapter: Chapter : 69.The early morning light began to filter through the small window, casting a soft glow over the cottage. Outside, the first chirps of waking birds blended with the gentle rustle of leaves in the morning breeze. Inside, Elara lay cocooned in warmth, her head resting against Alec’s chest as the steady beat of his heart pulsed under her cheek. For the first time in what felt like forever, she felt truly at peace, wrapped in the quiet intimacy of the moment.She stirred slightly, her eyes blinking open as she adjusted to the soft light. Alec’s arm was draped over her, his fingers lightly tracing patterns along her shoulder. She felt him shift beside her, and when she looked up, she found his silver eyes already watching her, a soft, contented smile on his face.“Good morning,” he whispered, his voice low and warm, sending a shiver through her.“Good morning,” she murmured back, unable to stop the smile that spread across her face. For a moment, she just looked at him, marveling at how diff

Chapter: Chapter : 68.Frantically, Elara pushed through the crowd of rogues, her eyes wide with desperation as she searched for him. Her heart pounded in her chest, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps as she called his name, her voice trembling with fear.“Alec!” she cried, her voice cracking. “Alec, where are you?”The rogues looked at her with weary, sympathetic eyes, but none of them said anything. Elara’s stomach twisted with fear, her legs shaking as she continued to search. He had to be here. He had to come back.And then, finally, at the very end of the group, she saw him.Alec.He was walking slowly, his body hunched with exhaustion, his face pale and streaked with blood. His silver eyes were heavy with weariness, and there was a deep cut along his arm, but he was alive. He was walking toward her.The moment Elara saw him, the breath she had been holding escaped in a ragged sob. She couldn’t hold back any longer. Her legs gave way, and she ran toward him, her heart pounding in her chest as she

Chapter: Chapter : 67.Alec’s eyes softened for a brief moment, and he reached out, gently cupping her cheek in his hand. “You don’t need to fight, Elara,” he said quietly, his voice filled with a tenderness that almost broke her. “I need you to stay safe. I need to know that when this is over, you’ll be here, waiting for me.”Elara closed her eyes, leaning into his touch as tears slipped down her cheeks. “I don’t want to lose you,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Please, Alec. Don’t do this.”Alec’s thumb gently brushed away her tears, but when he spoke again, his voice was firm, unyielding. “I have to do this, Elara. This is something I’ve been preparing for my whole life. I can’t let Luka take any more from me. I won’t.”Elara opened her eyes, searching his face for any sign that he might change his mind, that he might let her in. But all she saw was cold determination, a man who had already made his choice.She swallowed hard, her chest tightening with the weight of the inevitable. She cou

Chapter: Chapter : 66.Elara’s heart pounded in her chest, her mind racing with fear for him. She understood Alec’s need for revenge—she had seen the pain Luka had caused him, the way he had destroyed Alec’s life. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that if Alec went after Luka now, it would end in disaster.“Alec,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion, “if you go after him now, you could get hurt. Or worse. Luka’s not just going to lie down and let you take him out. He’s out of control, and if you’re not careful—”“I’m not afraid of him,” Alec said firmly, his voice low and dangerous. “I’ve faced worse than Luka. This is something I have to do, Elara. I can’t let him take any more from me.”Elara’s heart broke at the cold determination in his voice, at the way he seemed so set on this course of action. She had fallen in love with Alec not because of his strength or his desire for revenge, but because of the way he had shown her kindness, the way he had protected her without trying to control her. But

Chapter: Chapter : 65.With one final, furious snarl, Luka lunged at Alec, but Alec was ready. He sidestepped the attack and sank his teeth into Luka’s side, forcing him to the ground. Luka let out a howl of pain, his body convulsing beneath Alec’s grip.But before Alec could deliver the final blow, Luka’s eyes locked onto Elara’s, and a cold, twisted smile spread across his face. “This isn’t over, Elara,” he growled, his voice filled with venom. “I will kill Alec, and I will destroy everything you think is yours. You will come back to me—one way or another.”With a vicious snarl, Luka tore himself free from Alec’s grip and bolted into the forest, disappearing into the shadows before Alec could stop him. The remaining rogues followed him, their retreat swift and brutal, leaving behind the wreckage of the attack.For a long moment, the forest was silent, the only sound the ragged breathing of the wolves who had fought so fiercely to protect their home.Elara shifted back into her human form, her body trembli
