"Mommy!" she wailed, her small voice trembling.Hazel, apron-clad and flour-dusted, hurried to her daughter's side, concern etched on her face. "What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked, as Nadine flung herself into her arms."Miguel is bullying me!" Nadine sobbed, her tiny fists clenched.Hazel's expression turned knowing, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. This was an all too familiar scene, a daily ritual between her three-year-old daughter and five-year-old son. "What did you do this time, Nadine?" Hazel asked, her voice laced with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "He took my hairpin, and I pinched him." Nadine sniffled, her lower lip jutting out.Miguel, his face a picture of innocence, chimed in,

Lucas noticed the change in his demeanor. "Is there a problem, Alpha?" he asked, his brow furrowed with concern.Before Noah could respond, his phone shattered the silence, its ring piercing the air like a siren. He hesitated for a moment, his gut telling him that this call was not going to be good news. With a sense of trepidation, he answered, his voice firm but cautious. "Hello?"The voice on the other end was cold, detached, and sent a chill down Noah's spine. "If you want your sister alive, come get her." The line went dead, leaving Noah staring at his phone in horror.His heart racing, he immediately dialed Maya's number, but it bounced back, a harsh reality hitting him like a ton of bricks.

Chapter: A DummyRaven Wood PackAlpha Blaze stepped out of the Elder's chamber, his mind reeling with the weight of their words. Ever since he'd married Freya, the pack had been in disarray. The once-peaceful dynamics had given way to petty squabbles and power struggles. Blaze couldn't help but wonder if he'd made a grave mistake by chasing Elisa away.As he walked back to his quarters, he couldn't shake off the feeling of regret that had been gnawing at him for months. He'd thought that marrying Freya would bring stability to the pack, but instead, it had created a power vacuum that had left everyone on edge.Blaze's thoughts drifted back to Elisa, the woman he'd once loved and discarded. He wondered what would have happened if he'd stayed with her, if he'd fought for their love instead of betraying her.As he entered his quarters, Freya looked up from her seat by the window, a calculating glint in her eye. "How was your meeting with the Elders?" she asked, her voice dripping with sweetness.Blaze

Chapter: You Have No RightAkira swallowed hard, her eyes darting around the room before settling on Elisa. "I-I've been trying to sort through the accounts, Alpha Elisa, but it's been... complicated. There are a lot of irregularities and discrepancies that I'm still trying to make sense of."Elisa's expression turned stern. "Irregularities? What kind of irregularities?"Akira hesitated, her voice barely above a whisper. "It looks like... someone has been embezzling funds from the company. I'm not sure who or how, but the evidence is there."Elisa's eyes narrowed, her jaw clenched in anger. "I want to see the evidence. Now."Akira nodded hastily and scurried over to a nearby desk, where she began rummaging through a stack of papers. After a moment, she produced a thick folder filled with financial reports and handed it to Elisa.Elisa took the folder and began flipping through its contents, her eyes scanning the pages with a mixture of anger and disgust. As she read, her expression grew increasingly grim.Sudde

Chapter: Secrets In The ShadowRyker returned to the palace, but it wasn't a happy homecoming. The air was thick with tension as he stormed inside, his face twisted in anger. Emilia followed him, worried sick. She was afraid of his temper, but she had to know what was wrong."Ryker, please," she said, her voice shaking. "Where did you go? You disappeared without saying a word! I was so worried about you."Ryker turned around, his angry look making Emilia stop talking. "That's enough," he said sharply. "You're asking too many questions. I don't have to tell you anything." Emilia opened her mouth to say something, but Ryker stopped her with a wave of his hand. “I have better things to do than sharing words with you” he said and walked away, heading to his room, and left Emilia standing alone in the hallway, feeling shocked, sad, and hurt.Emilia's hands curled into fists, and tears welled up in her eyes.*Alpha Elisa walked towards the car convoy, accompanied by her trusted guard.

"You made me so scared." Ryker's expression turned cold, his eyes flashing with annoyance. "I told you I'd be back. Why are you so paranoid?" He stepped out of the car, his movements abrupt. "Please, just leave me alone, Emilia," Ryker said dismissively, striding away. Emilia's face fell, hurt by his brusque tone. She hesitated, then followed him. "Ryker, wait! What's wrong? You're scaring me," Emilia called out. Ryker's pace quickened, his silence a stark contrast to Emilia's growing unease. "Please inform the Alpha that Ryker's returned," Emilia instructed the guards, her voice firm. She swiftly followed Ryker, catching up to him with ease.

Chapter: Fighting TogetherNadine sat on the couch, her fingers gripping the edge of her dress as she watched Adrian pace back and forth in front of her. His jaw was clenched, his hands balled into fists, and his mind seemed to be elsewhere. She knew exactly what he was thinking—Vanessa. The woman who had made her life a living nightmare without Nadine even knowing her personally.After everything that had happened, Adrian had told her the truth. He had laid everything bare—Vanessa’s threats, her manipulations, and how she had been the one behind all the terrible things that had happened to them. The house burning down, the attempted kidnapping, the messages she sent to Adrian, warning him to return or suffer the consequences.It had been a lot to take in, and Nadine had needed time to process it all. But now, she had made up her mind.She took a deep breath and stood up. “I’m coming with you,” she said firmly.Adrian stopped pacing and turned to her, his brows furrowing. “What?”“If you’re really doing this

Chapter: Morning of SurprisesThe morning sunlight streamed through the wide windows of the penthouse, casting a soft golden glow on everything inside. Nadine blinked awake, momentarily disoriented. It took her a second to remember where she was. This wasn’t her small, cozy home. It was Adrian’s penthouse, the place he had brought them to after their house burned down.She sat up slowly, stretching as she looked around. The bed was soft, the sheets smooth against her skin. She wasn’t used to this kind of luxury. Everything in this place screamed wealth, from the expensive furniture to the chandelier hanging in the center of the room. It made her feel out of place, like she didn’t belong here.Nadine swung her legs off the bed and stood up. She needed a shower to clear her mind. As she walked into the bathroom, she stopped in surprise.Everything she used was here.Her favorite skincare products were neatly arranged on the counter. The shampoo and conditioner she always bought were placed right beside the bathtub

Chapter: A Dark WarningAdrian sat in his study, the glow of his laptop screen the only source of light in the dim room. It was late, but he couldn’t sleep. Not after everything that had happened. Nadine and Liam were finally safe, resting in the rooms he had prepared for them in his penthouse. But Adrian couldn’t shake the unease in his chest.Whoever had tried to kidnap Liam and burned down their house wasn’t just an ordinary criminal. This was personal. Someone was sending a message, and Adrian needed to find out who.He sighed, rubbing his temples as he switched between work emails and security reports. He had already hired a team to investigate, but so far, they had no solid leads. The thought of Nadine and Liam being in danger made his blood boil. He had failed them once before—he wouldn’t let it happen again.Then, his phone buzzed on the table.Adrian picked it up, expecting a work email or a message from Marcus. But the moment he saw the name on the screen, his heart stopped.Vanessa.His fingers ti

Chapter: A Place to StayNadine sat on the cold pavement, her arms wrapped around Liam as they watched their home burn. Tears streamed down her face, though she barely noticed. The flames crackled, smoke rising into the dark sky. Firefighters worked to put out the fire, but it was already too late—the house was gone. Everything she had built, every memory she had made with Liam, was now ash.Liam clung to her, his small body shaking. “Mommy… my toys… my drawings…” his voice broke, and Nadine’s heart shattered into pieces.She kissed the top of his head, trying to stay strong. “It’s okay, baby. Mommy’s here.” But deep down, she didn’t know what to do next.Just then, the sound of a car screeching to a stop made her look up. A black SUV pulled over, and before she could react, Adrian was running toward them. His face was full of worry, his eyes scanning them for any injuries.“Nadine! Liam!” He crouched in front of them, breathing heavily. “Are you okay?”Liam turned and saw Adrian. Without thinking, he ran int

Chapter: A Night of ChaosAdrian sat at his desk, his laptop screen filled with documents and emails that needed urgent attention. His company had been running smoothly in his absence, but there were still issues that required his input. It had been days since he started spending time with Liam and Nadine, and though he wanted to see them again today, work was piling up.His phone buzzed beside him, and he picked it up to see Nadine’s name flashing on the screen. A small smile tugged at his lips as he answered.“Hey,” he said, leaning back in his chair.“Hey,” she responded, her voice softer than usual. “Are you coming over today?”Adrian sighed. “I really want to, but I have a lot of work to catch up on. I have meetings lined up, and my team needs me.”There was a brief pause on the other end, and Adrian could sense the disappointment in Nadine’s silence.“I understand,” she finally said. “Work comes first. Just let me know when you’re free again.”“I promise I’ll make it up to you and Liam,” Adrian reassured

Chapter: A Step CloserThe past few days had been different. Nadine wasn’t sure how it happened, but Adrian was becoming a part of Liam’s life. At first, she had only allowed Adrian to see Liam because she thought it was the right thing to do. But now… now she was starting to feel something else.She wouldn’t call it love. No, she refused to. But watching Adrian and Liam together made something in her chest tighten in a way she hadn’t felt in years.She shook the thought away as she set the table for dinner. Clara had suggested a small gathering, a way for them all to relax. At first, Nadine had wanted to say no. Having Adrian in her house, sitting at the same table as her, felt too personal. But somehow, she found herself agreeing.And now, here she was, preparing food while Liam sat on the floor, drawing something.“Mommy, is Uncle Adrian coming?” Liam asked without looking up.Nadine’s fingers tightened around the spoon she was holding. Uncle Adrian. The words felt strange, but she knew that was better t
