Chapter: Chapter : 60.For a long time, they just sat there together, watching the mist slowly rise from the forest. The sun had yet to fully break through the clouds, leaving the world in a soft, muted light that felt peaceful, almost surreal.After a while, Alec spoke again, his voice quieter than before. “There are moments,” he said, “when I think about how different things could have been. How different I could have been.”Elara glanced at him, her heart skipping slightly at the vulnerability in his voice. It wasn’t often that Alec opened up like this. He was usually so controlled, so guarded. But now, sitting here in the stillness of the morning, he seemed more willing to let her see the parts of him he usually kept hidden.“What do you mean?” she asked softly.Alec was quiet for a moment, his gaze distant. “Before Luka turned on me, before I became the rogue king, I had a vision for my life. I was going to be the alpha of Crescent Moon Pack. It was supposed to be me, not him. But then everything chang

Chapter: Chapter : 59.Elara glanced over at Alec, her gaze lingering on the way the firelight played across his features—the strong line of his jaw, the softness in his eyes that she hadn’t noticed before. He seemed lost in thought, his eyes fixed on the flames, but there was a stillness to him that made her wonder what he was thinking. She had never known this kind of quiet with Luka. With him, everything had been a whirlwind—intense, demanding, controlling. But with Alec, there was space. Space to breathe, space to think, space to feel.“Do you miss it?” Elara asked suddenly, her voice breaking the silence.Alec looked up, his silver eyes meeting hers with quiet curiosity. “Miss what?”“Your old life,” she said softly, gesturing toward the fire with a small shrug. “Before all of this. Before… everything.”Alec was quiet for a moment, his gaze thoughtful as he considered her question. His expression didn’t change, but Elara could see the flicker of something deeper in his eyes—something that went beyond t

Chapter: Chapter : 58.Elara had always seen Alec as a threat, as someone dangerous and unpredictable, but that view had been colored by her own fears—fears that had been stoked by Luka. Luka had controlled her, manipulated her emotions, and made her believe that anyone who opposed him was a villain. But now, without Luka’s influence clouding her mind, she could see Alec for who he truly was.He wasn’t a monster. He wasn’t heartless. He was strong, yes, and fierce, but there was also a gentleness in him that she hadn’t expected. A willingness to protect, to care, to put her needs above his own. He had shown her a side of himself that he hadn’t needed to, and it was that side of Alec—the one that had knelt beside her bed, tending to her wounds while his own body bled—that was beginning to break through the walls she had built around her heart.The sound of footsteps behind her broke through her thoughts, and Elara turned to see one of the rogues approaching. He was a tall, broad-shouldered wolf with dark hai

Chapter: Chapter : 57.Elara lowered her gaze, her fingers tightening around the edge of the bandage she had just placed on his arm. “I… I thought you were dangerous,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “I thought you only cared about revenge. I thought you wanted to hurt me… to use me to get back at Luka.”Alec let out a soft sigh, his lips curling into a small, tired smile. “I won’t lie to you,” he said, his voice gentle. “At first, it was about revenge. When I first learned about you—about what Luka had done—I was angry. Furious, even. I wanted to hurt him for everything he took from me.”Elara felt a knot tighten in her chest. She had feared this truth, had known that Alec’s hatred for Luka ran deep, but hearing him admit it still stung. She shifted slightly, her fingers tracing the rough fabric of the bandage, unsure of what to say.“But,” Alec continued, his voice softening further, “that changed when I met you. When I saw how Luka treated you… how he controlled you… I couldn’t stand by a

Chapter: Chapter : 56.Alec hesitated, his eyes flickering with a mixture of stubbornness and exhaustion. He had always been so strong, so capable, and the thought of letting her help him, of being vulnerable in front of her, clearly made him uncomfortable. But after a moment, he nodded, the tension in his shoulders easing as he finally gave in.Elara helped him to his feet, guiding him to sit down on the edge of the bed. His movements were slow and stiff, each step clearly causing him pain, but he didn’t complain. Once he was seated, Elara knelt in front of him, her hands trembling slightly as she began to clean the blood and dirt from his wounds.Her fingers were gentle but steady as she worked, dabbing at the gashes on his arms and chest with a damp cloth. Every cut, every bruise, was a reminder of the fight he had just endured—the fight he had survived to protect her. Her heart twisted with guilt, the weight of everything he had gone through settling heavily on her shoulders.As she carefully bandaged o

Chapter: Chapter : 55.“I never wanted this,” she whispered, her voice cracking with emotion. “I never wanted them to fight.”The rogue’s gaze softened further as he crouched down in front of her, his hand resting lightly on her shoulder. “You couldn’t have stopped it, Elara. This was always going to happen. Luka and Alec… they were always on this path.”Elara swallowed hard, tears stinging her eyes as she tried to hold back the flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm her. She had done everything she could to avoid this outcome, had tried to escape from the chains of the mate bond, but in the end, it hadn’t mattered. The two brothers were destined to collide, and now she was powerless to stop it.“I can’t just leave him,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I can’t leave Alec behind to die.”The rogue’s hand tightened on her shoulder, his expression turning serious. “Alec didn’t ask you to run so you could come back and die with him. He asked you to run because he wants you to live. He wants you

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
