Chapter: Chap 47Cassius's POV "What time is the flight?" I asked, my voice low as I closed the drawer of my desk. "It's scheduled for an hour's time," Raven replied, eyes flicking to the ticking clock on the wall. I nodded, tapping a finger against the cool surface of the table. “Good. That should be enough time to sort things.” The image of Crystal’s lifeless body flashed across my mind again. Was it the people planning on attacking that attacked her? But why was she left there? Something about that wasn’t sitting right. Was it a warning? “Did you find out why Crystal was lying on the floor?” “No. The security footage around that side is smashed.” Before I could curse, the office door creaked open, and Tyler strolled in with his usual smugness. “Hi, Brother. This one that you called for me...I wonder what it's about,” he said, grinning as he flopped lazily into the seat across from me. I didn’t even bother responding to his theatrics. “Just keep checking, okay?” I told Raven, shoot

Chapter: Chap 46Zara's POV There are no words to absolutely describe what I'm feeling right now as my gaze locked with Cassius standing at the door. It was as if the air had been knocked clean out of my lungs. My heartbeat wasn’t just loud—it was frantic, thundering against my ribs like it was trying to escape. My stomach twisted into knots so tight it was hard to breathe, let alone think. I felt stripped bare. Exposed. Like every carefully hidden thought, every buried truth, every fragile piece of me I’d tried so hard to keep hidden was suddenly illuminated under a harsh, unforgiving light. I wanted to look away. I should’ve looked away. But I couldn’t. My eyes stayed locked on his, frozen, as if breaking that connection would shatter whatever thin thread of composure I had left. My hands were cold and clammy, trembling slightly at my sides. I curled them into fists to stop the shaking. But it didn’t help. The dread had already sunk its claws into me. A part of me screamed to run. To fle

Chapter: Chap 45Zara's POV Torture. That's the only fucking word to describe what Cassius is making me go through. This...this is the kind of torment that doesn’t leave bruises, but cuts deep anyway. He’s fucking torturing the hell outta me right now, and every fiber in me is screaming to punch him in the damn gut and scream until I go hoarse. "I'm still waiting, Cara mia," he said, his voice a low, dangerous purr that sent a traitorous shiver down my spine. No, no. I can’t let Cassius get to me. I can’t give in, not now. If I show him a crack, he’ll wedge his way through and rip me wide open. I can feel his hard-on pressing into my thigh, his body betraying the control his mouth pretends to have. He wants this too. I know he does. But I’ll never give in. Never. "Well...I've learned not to do things without the person's permission," he said, his warm breath grazing my cheek as he let me go. He stepped away and the sudden distance made my body ache with need. I hated it. I hated how much I want

Chapter: Chap 44Zara's POV I sat down on the bed slowly, wincing as a fresh wave of pain throbbed through my shoulder. I’d worn myself out punching that damn wall like a lunatic. Every muscle in my arm screamed in protest, reminding me just how useless all that rage had been. I feel like screaming right now, but what was the point? No one would hear. I was locked in a room that felt more like a prison than anything else. No windows, no furniture worth throwing, just a sleek AC unit humming quietly like it was mocking me. Who the hell builds a room like this unless they’re hiding something? My nails dug into my palms as I clenched my fists. "Zara," I muttered to myself, "he didn’t even ask you to snoop. This is on you. You brought this on yourself." I let out a shaky breath and stared at the pristine walls like they might offer a solution. They didn’t. “I swear, if I had something to throw, I’d shatter it.” My voice cracked around the fury, but there was nothing here. Just polished nothin

Chapter: Chap 43Zara's POV "Where are you going? I told you you're gonna sleep in my room," Cassius said, stepping out of the bathroom. I blinked—twice—because, holy hell. The man was a walking Greek god. The shirt he wore was unbuttoned, teasing toned skin beneath, while the shorts he had on stopped just below his knee, revealing more muscular thighs than I was mentally ready for. But it was his hair that stole my breath. Wet and tousled from the shower, brown strands falling slightly over his forehead, dancing with the breeze from the fan... God. I didn’t know it was possible for someone to look this dangerously good. I always saw him with his hair slicked back—but like this? It felt illegal. "Did I have that much effect on you?" he asked with a smirk. Shit. Shit. Shit. I had been caught. I had been caught red-handed. My jaw was still slightly open, and I felt the embarrassment crawl up my throat like fire. I snapped my mouth shut, praying to every god I’d ever heard of that my cheeks wer

Chapter: Chap 42Zara's POV I let out the breath I didn’t realize I was holding as I stood there, frozen, watching the door click shut behind Delia. My hand was still clutching the burner phone, but I could barely feel it anymore. My palm was slick with sweat, my fingers numb, like they didn’t even belong to me. My lungs were screaming. I’d held in too much air for too long, and now it came rushing out in a broken, shaky exhale. I stumbled toward the sink and stared at my reflection in the mirror. God. I looked horrible. No—worse. I looked wrecked. My eyes were wide and red, lips pale, hair slightly disheveled from how tense I’d been. My skin had gone ashen, and there was this haunted, raw look behind my gaze that I couldn’t scrub away. That bitch had a recording. My thoughts spiraled out of control, frantic, tangled like a web of thorns. My heart was thudding against my ribs so hard I could feel it in my throat. Every second ticked louder than the last. 'Now I’ve got your whole betrayal on aud

Chapter: Chapter 28Thorne's POV We finally arrived at the entrance of Sangrath. We all shifted back into our human forms. It felt odd standing bare-skinned in a place like this, but my clothes materialized quickly as my wolf retreated. We strolled into the village. As soon as the villagers spotted us, their eyes widened in alarm. One by one, they scurried off, pulling their children behind them and slamming doors shut. Curtains twitched as people peered out nervously before vanishing into the darkness of their homes. I glanced around uneasily, walking beside Darien. I have never been here before. Werewolves and vampires weren't friends, so i have only heard of this place. “Let’s head to their leader’s house,” Darien said. “Rudith?” I asked, glancing sideways at him. “Yes. He’s their leader.” Darien didn’t look at me as he spoke, his eyes scanning the empty streets ahead. I nodded silently, keeping my pace in line with his. Soon, we reached a mansion at the heart of the village. It was bea

Chapter: Chapter 27Thorne's POV "I’ve been looking for you," Briane said, her voice breathless as she bent over, hands on her knees, trying to steady herself. Sweat glistened on her forehead, her chest rising and falling rapidly as though she’d been running for her life. I raised an eyebrow, watching her. Briane? Of all people? Why in the goddess’s name would she be looking for me? I’ve barely ever spoken to her. The only reason I even know her name is because I make it my business to know when every single slave entered the pack house—including Ava. “Why? Why are you looking for me?” I asked. “Does the Luna want me? Or the Alpha?” Briane straightened, placing her hand on her hip as she caught her breath. She waved her hand weakly, still gasping. “I…I looked for you everywhere,” she stammered. “But…I think it might already be too late.” Too late? Too late for what? “What’s that supposed to mean? What’s too late?” My patience was thinning rapidly. Briane’s eyes darted around nervously as t

Chapter: Chapter 26Ava's POV I took a small step back, my legs trembling so badly I thought they’d give out under me. Rudith let out a thunderous laugh, the sound booming through the compound like rolling thunder. It made my blood run cold.He didn’t move toward me, he just stood there, his eyes fixed on me like a predator watching its prey. I seized the moment and took another careful step back. Then another.But before I could take a fourth, my back slammed into something hard and cold...A wall. I turned my head to glance at what I’d hit, but before I could even face forward again, he was already there...standing inches in front of me.“Where do you think you’re running to, little human?” he asked softly, his lips curling into a smile. The same smile that had once seemed charming. The same face I had stupidly thought was beautiful when I first saw him. Now, standing this close, he didn’t look like a man anymore. He looked like a monster.“Please…” I gasped, my voice breaking as I pressed my back hard

Chapter: Chapter 25Lyra’s POV “Ava is Thorne’s mate,” I heard Luna Alina’s voice drop that bombshell. Woah. So she actually said it. I pressed my hand over my mouth to stop a gasp from slipping out. A rush of excitement shot through me, making my pulse quicken. I guess telling her wasn’t such a bad idea after all, and the fact that she’d used the information at just the right time made me smirk to myself. I didn’t leave like she told me to. No. Instead, I hid behind the outer part of the garden wall, crouched low among the vines. From here, I could hear every single word they were saying, like they were speaking directly into my ear. “What the hell are you talking about?!” Alpha Darien’s deep voice thundered, making my heart leap into my throat. He sounded furious...furious enough that even I flinched. “How do you know that? Are you so desperate you’d lie just to keep me from going after her?” I pressed my back harder against the cold stone wall, forcing my breathing to slow so I wouldn’t make

Chapter: Chapter 24Luna Alina’s POV Fury! That's what I'm fucking feeling right now the moment Darien opened his mouth and uttered that nonsense. I feel like bringing Ava here and tearing her apart with my claws—piece by miserable piece—in front of him. Maybe then he’d see how far I’m willing to go. I'd do any fucking thing to have him.Our marriage…it wasn’t born out of love. It wasn’t even something he wanted. It was business...just a transaction between my father and him. But for me, it was everything.I’ve admired Darien since I was a girl. Even as a teenager, I’d dreamed about him. He was always so powerful, and charming. When Father told me I was to marry him, it felt like the heavens had finally smiled on me. It felt like destiny.But I was wrong.I know Darien never and didn't like me but I thought my beauty would draw him in, that my curves and my body would make him desire me. I thought I could melt that ice in his heart. But no matter what I did, he never looked at me—not once.For the pas

Chapter: Chapter 23Luna Alina’s POV "We've finally gotten rid of her." I said, my chest thrummed with excitement as I poured deep red wine into the glasses on the small garden table. My fingers trembled slightly as I set the bottle down carefully, not wanting to show how giddy I felt inside. “But…are you sure she’s really not coming back? I mean…what if she escapes somehow? The vampires…they won’t keep her alive for some reason?” I let out a laugh. “They won’t. Do you even know where I sent her, Lyra?” I picked up my glass and swirled the wine lazily, letting the sweet, intoxicating scent fill my nose. “Do you have any idea how dangerous Sangrath is? It’s a vampire clan for fuck’s sake. She won’t survive it, especially since she’s human. Vampires don’t waste their time on weak little humans like her. If they don’t drain her dry, they’ll tear her apart for fun. Either way…she’s not coming back.” I took a slow sip, savoring the wine on my tongue. “I hope so,” Lyra murmured softly, almost like she was

Chapter: Epilogue SIX YEARS LATER Sophie’s POV "Good morning, beauty." A deep, familiar voice broke through my peaceful sleep, and I felt a warm presence near me. Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open, adjusting to the morning light streaming through the curtains. Julian stood beside the bed, a soft smile on his lips, holding a tray of breakfast in his hands. "Good morning, honey," I murmured, stretching lazily before sitting up. A wave of warmth filled me at the sight before me—a plate of golden-brown toast, a perfectly fried egg, and a steaming cup of tea. My stomach grumbled in approval, making me smile. Julian placed the tray gently on the bed and sat on the edge, watching me. "I made breakfast for you," I glanced at him, my heart swelling with love. "Thank you, honey." His smile widened, and without warning, he leaned in, tilting his head to kiss me. I quickly turned my face away, causing him to freeze mid-motion. "Huh?" He blinked. I chuckled, pressing my lips together. "I haven’t brushed my

Chapter: Fight for survival Chapter 118 Sophie’s POV It had been three hell long days since Julian fell into a coma. His face, once so vibrant and full of life, was now pale and drawn, the oxygen tubes were gone but there was still IV drips connected to his hand. His lips were slightly parted, and his chest rose and fell weakly beneath the hospital gown, but there was no other sign of movement. I sat beside him, my fingers laced through his, unable to look away from his still form. I tightened my grip on his hand, my voice barely above a whisper. "Julian, can you hear me?" No response. My throat tightened as I swallowed hard, forcing back another wave of despair. I wished for even the faintest sign of acknowledgement. I missed him—his laughter, his warmth, his voice, everything that made him who he was. "Do you remember when you first told me you loved me?" I continued, my voice trembling. "You said it so casually, as if you had always known. And I was so scared… scared that if I believed it, I’d los

Chapter: Don't leave me...Chapter 117 Sophie’s POV The ambulance doors slammed shut, and we sped through the city, sirens wailing. My hands trembled as I clutched Julian’s, his skin cold and clammy. His face was too pale, his lips slightly parted as he struggled for breath. "Stay with me, Julian," I pleaded, my voice shaking. "Please, don’t close your eyes." He tried to smile, but it was weak. His eyelids fluttered, his body barely holding on. "No, no, no," I sobbed, pressing my forehead against his. "You promised me. You said you wouldn’t leave me. You can’t break your promise now." The paramedics worked frantically, pressing gauze against his wound, checking his vitals. "He's losing too much blood," one of them muttered. "Do something!" I screamed. "We're doing everything we can," another paramedic said, trying to keep me calm. I swallowed back my panic and looked at Julian again. His chest rose and fell weakly, each breath looking more labored than the last. "I love you, Sophie," he whi

Chapter: PainChapter 116 Sophie’s POV The sound of the gunshot echoed in my ears, deafening. My body tensed, my breath hitched, and for a moment, I swore my heart had stopped. But there was no pain. I wasn’t hit! Slowly, I opened my eyes, my body trembling, my breath ragged. My heart pounded so loudly it nearly drowned out everything else. Celine—or rather, Victoria—was standing there, her face twisted in rage. But her grip on the gun had faltered, her hands shaking slightly. Then I noticed—someone had tackled her from the side. The gun had fired, but not at me. My breath came in short, uneven bursts as my eyes fell on the person who had tackled her. Julian. He was there, gripping Victoria’s wrist, twisting it painfully as she shrieked in frustration. The gun clattered to the floor, skidding across the rooftop. Victoria struggled wildly, her breath ragged with anger. "Let me go, you bastard!" she spat. "Not this time." Julian’s grip tightened as he shoved her backward, pinning her agains

Chapter: Bang!Chapter 115 Sophie’s POV "How do I look?" I asked, turning to Julian while smoothing down the fabric of my red off-shoulder gown. The silky material hugged my curves perfectly, flowing elegantly to my feet. Julian’s gaze softened as he stepped closer, his lips curving into a fond smile. "You look as stunning as always," he murmured, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. His touch was gentle, affectionate, and when he leaned down to press a kiss on my forehead, warmth spread through me. Then, he kissed me lightly on the lips, making my heart skip a beat. "Thank you, hubby," I whispered, "You made this happen. You made everything happen. If someone had told me a year ago when I got here that everything would turn out like this, I would have asked them to shut up." Julian chuckled, his fingers tilting my chin up so I could meet his gaze. "Why?" he asked. I sighed, shaking my head at how absurd it all seemed now. "Because I never thought I would fall in love with yo
