(Natalie’s POV)I was done crying. My head hurt, my eyes felt swollen, and my body was just… tired. I had spent the last two days in my apartment, ignoring calls, ignoring the news, ignoring everything. But no matter how much I tried, the anger wouldn’t go away.Sebastian had destroyed everything.I used to think he was different, that he wasn’t like the rest of them. But I was wrong. He was just another liar who thought he could get away with anything because he had money.I stared at my phone. Twenty missed calls from him. I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to listen to his excuses.A knock on my door.I ignored it. Probably a neighbor or some delivery mistake.Another knock. Louder."Natalie, open the door."Sebastian.My hands clenched into fists. Of course he was here. He just couldn’t leave things alone. I got up, marched to the door, and swung it open.He looked like hell. His suit was wrinkled, his tie was gone, and his hair was a mess. His eyes were wild, like he had been running

Chapter 70(Sebastian’s POV)I sat in the backseat of the car, staring at my reflection in the tinted window. My suit felt too tight, my tie like a noose around my neck. The press conference was in thirty minutes, and I had no idea what I was going to say. How do you explain yourself when even you don’t understand the mess you’re in?I rubbed my temples, exhaustion weighing me down. For the past few days, my name had been everywhere—on the news, on social media, in headlines screaming for my downfall. They called me a liar, a fraud, a man who built his success in deception which was far from the truth. my sex tape has just been leaked. how did it get this serious? Definitely blogs that are trying to get clicks then decide to come up with more lies.Natalie hadn’t spoken to me. She ignored my calls, my texts. The last thing she said was in the letter she wrote me. I ruined everything.My driver pulled up in front of the hotel where the press conference was being held. Cameramen and r

Sebastian's POVI’m done.That’s all I can think about now. Done. Done with trying to fix this mess. Done with pretending everything’s fine. Done with the people who think they can control me. Done with the constant reminder that I screwed up.I stand at the window of my penthouse, looking out at the city. Everything’s moving, but I’m stuck. My life’s a wreck, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it from falling apart. The media’s relentless, the calls keep coming, and no one cares about what I’m going through. They care about the scandal. They care about the video. They care about the fallout.The phone on the desk buzzes. I don’t even need to check. It’s probably another call from Jason or one of the PR team members. I haven’t picked up in hours. Maybe days. I don’t care anymore. What’s the point? They’re just telling me the same thing over and over again.“Do damage control, Sebastian. Release a statement. Make a public apology.”I’ve heard it all. But none of it feels real. I don’

Natalie’s POVI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone like it was some kind of ticking bomb. The video was everywhere now. It didn’t matter how much I wanted to look away, how much I told myself to stop checking, I couldn’t. It kept playing in my head. Samantha’s smirk. Sebastian’s voice. The whole thing made my stomach turn.I’d spent the entire night tossing and turning, trying to figure out how I felt. Angry? Definitely. Hurt? That didn’t even begin to describe it. But there was something else. Something heavier. I couldn’t shake the feeling of disappointment. Disappointment in him... and maybe even in myself.I put my phone down on the nightstand and stared at the ceiling. The fan spun slowly, making a faint creaking sound with every rotation. It was too quiet in here. I hated it. Quiet gave my thoughts too much room to grow.Sebastian.I’d trusted him. Believed in him. And he’d destroyed it all. The video wasn’t even the worst part. It was everything that came before it

Sebastian’s POVThe moment Samantha stepped into my penthouse, I knew this wasn’t going to end well. She looked too calm, too rehearsed. Her designer dress clung to her as if she wore it for the cameras that weren’t even here.“Why did you do it?” I asked, keeping my tone steady, though my fists were clenched tightly at my sides.“Do what, Sebastian?” Her voice was smooth, too smooth, as she walked past me and made herself comfortable on the couch like she owned the place.“You know exactly what I’m talking about. The tape. It’s everywhere now. I’m being dragged through the mud, and you’re acting like nothing happened.”She raised an eyebrow, crossing one leg over the other. “You think I leaked it?” Her voice carried a mocking edge, her lips curling into a faint smirk.I hated how confident she seemed, how unbothered she looked. “It’s not a matter of what I think, Samantha. It’s about the fact that you’re the only person who had access to that tape.”She laughed - a cold, sharp sound

Sebastian's POVI sat on the couch, staring at nothing, the weight of the day pressing against my chest. My head was pounding, and the walls around me felt like they were closing in. The video wasn’t real - it couldn’t be real. I kept telling myself that, clinging to the hope that there was some mistake, that someone had manipulated it.But the world didn’t care about what was real. The world cared about what it saw. And right now, it had seen enough to crucify me.I forced myself to reach for my phone, the screen lighting up with more missed calls and messages than I could count. Friends, strangers, coworkers - all of them with something to say. I couldn’t bring myself to open them, not yet.I took a deep breath and opened Natalie’s contact. I hesitated. What could I even say to her? “I’m sorry” wasn’t enough. “It’s not what it looks like” sounded like a cliché. But I had to try.I dialed her number.It rang once, twice... and then went to voicemail.I hung up before I could leave a

KYLE ~~ It definitely isn't everyday that you earn a lecture from Caius, and I've already gotten five of them this year. “You should have told me when you got the tip. What if you had gotten hurt? What if it was just a trap?” “I'm not a child Caius and you know that,” I snapped growing irritated, “so please stop treating me like one. I can make my own decisions without having to run to you every single time like a scared little cat.” “You are a target, we are all targets -” “The scientists are dead!” “And you think you do not have enemies anymore? You think, you really think that…we are all free from threats? Humans are greedy. If they ever find out about you, about the powers we all possess we will lose everything!” I clenched my fist although I saw the truth in what he was saying and despite my stubbornness, I understood his concerns. But that was really not the point and the fact that he was missing is what keeps grating on my nerves. “I found my mate Caius!” I said my vo

"Mother fucker!” Mother fucker, indeed.I dropped my arm immediately as I stared at Kyle, sheer horror gripping me.What does he mean by mate?Surely not what I think because - that cannot be. Maybe I heard him wrongly.I cannot, will not be mated to my foe.To my target.“So she really is your mate then?” The lady asked and Kyle just smiled with a shrug.“Can feel it in my head so yes, I believe she is.”“This is very interesting. How do you think Caius and Dahlia would react?”Kyle shrugged nonchalantly, “I have no idea but we will find out. I did not tell them about the anonymous tip - I just wanted to confirm first.”I had no idea what they were talking about and I couldn't ask.Hell I was too frozen by shock to even move an inch let alone say a word.“Let's go home first.”The lady nodded and went at the driver's speed. My head was still buzzing with a million questions as I felt the car moving away.I know what mating means. I have dedicated a fair portion of my life into resea

“What you are, Amara…what you have been trained for is total destruction. Be void of emotions other than anger and hatred because in them you can find the biggest source of inspiration and motivation. Do not forget your destiny.”“Why does this have to be done?” My cousin asked, rolling her eyes.I looked at her, shocked at the audacity behind her question. She should know better. She is as dedicated to this mission as I am, so why now?“Because,” Uncle Kiaz started patiently, “Those beings are evil and unnatural and we must cleanse the world of such evil. They should not be roaming freely with such power.”I nodded, and my cousin seemed satisfied with the answer. But for me the reason was way deeper than that.Has always been.This is my calling.This is my destiny, I have always known it, I have always felt it deep within my bones.Ever since I had to sit by and watch one of them murder my parents like they were nothing, I was convinced that I wanted nothing more, the way I desired

The way he delivered that sentence, made it so frightening and still managed to maintain his smile made me shiverNow I see why they call him the devil.This is a man that can kill you, while smiling at you making you believe you are friends.“I do not understand what you are talking about.” I said , shaking my head because surely he was joking.What league of assassins was he talking about? My father was just a businessman and he never involved himself with that mafia. In fact I knew just how much he hated them… so does this man really expect me to believe his rubbish?“Sure you do. Because before your father died, he mentioned your name and said you had everything we needed. So you are going to tell us everything is beautiful, now I am asking nicely because I will get it out of you anyway.”I shivered as his smile dropped and his eyes turned cold, “Well, you are lying. THere is no way my father could have possibly told you that because I do not know what you are talking about.”He i

“YOU DID WHAT?”Vivienne actually had the nerve to startle at my yell - not just that she had the nerve to look at me with shock on her face.Yup! She had the nerve to look shocked as if she had not just delivered a huge blow to my face.“How dare you?” I asked my voice getting higher, “How dare you trade me off like that? You had no right Vivienne. You had no right!”She frowned, “Why are you acting like it's a big deal.”I opened my mouth, then closed it when words failed me, because honestly my was flabbergasted gasted!Why am I acting like it is a big deal?She was really going to ask me that with a straight face?Why am I acting like it is a big deal?“Oh i am sorry,” I responded with a smile, “I was really not aware that you selling me off to the same man who murdered my father, was not a big deal - oh, and against my knowledge might i add.”She rolled her eyes, and I clenched my fist so rightfully it hurt. If anything but to control my family.I have always disliked Vivienne

The wolf…I saw it again - this time there was something different in its eyes.An anger that was never there before, that confused me.I leaned closer and touched its furry head with a smile.It was warm. So warm that I had this crazy urge to just wrap my arms around it and close my eyes.When I removed my hand though, my heart skipped a beat as I saw it covered in so much blood.Before I could react, the world threw its head back and howled, and I could feel its pain and anger In that single howl.It sounded like a cry of sorrow.My mind was frantic as I looked at it.Was it hurt?And why was he suddenly staring at me sadly?When I woke up from that sleep - I got the worst news I could ever think of.My father was found dead in the streets.***********The morning started out like any other morning.My alarm clock wakes me up at 6, the birds chirping, the sun rising from the east and people going about their day, as if everything was normal and perfect.But everything wasn't normal.
