Chapter: Trauma BondedSIENNAEarly the next morning, Ethan dropped Livvy and me off at Roman’s mansion. I had to get Livvy ready for school and send her off before getting myself ready for work too.But after everything that happened last night, I hadn’t slept at all. My mind wouldn’t let me rest. Every time I closed my eyes, flashes of Emilia’s lifeless body came rushing back. Then I saw Sabrina’s tear-streaked face and her blood-covered hands. Then it was both of us, standing at the edge of the bridge, throwing Emilia’s body into the river. The last nightmare that jerked me fully awake was the image of both Sabrina and Emilia, drenched in blood, chasing after me until I fell off the bridge. I woke up before I hit the water.So when I got up this morning, my eyes were puffy and my face looked tired. Luckily, Ethan didn’t seem to notice much as he drove us back. He stopped the car in front of the mansion, and I got out with Livvy.“Goodbye, Mr. Ethan! We had such a lovely time with you!” Livvy waved brigh

Chapter: Soul SistersSIENNASabrina had two jackets in the backseat of her car, which we threw on, to cover the bloodstains on our clothes. Once we looked a little less suspicious, we drove to a nearby bar. Sabrina had picked it on purpose because it was busy and loud, the kind of place where no one would notice two women acting a little off. More importantly, they had restrooms we could use to clean ourselves up before heading to our separate destinations— Sabrina to her mansion, and me back to Ethan’s place.Luckily, the plan worked. We walked in without anyone giving us a second glance. No stares, no questions.We made our way straight to the bathroom and began scrubbing the blood off our skin and clothes. We didn’t get everything off, but at least the worst of it was gone. Still, we couldn’t risk going back like this. Someone was bound to notice the mess we still carried on our clothes, on our faces, and in our eyes.We thought about stopping at a boutique to buy new outfits. But just as we were abou

Chapter: Mother Sienna’s POVDriving around with a dead body in the trunk of your car isn’t exactly what two well-dressed women are expected to be doing on a night when they were supposed to be on separate dinner dates. But somehow, that’s where Sabrina and I found ourselves tonight.And to make things worse, the body belonged to none other than our own mother.Sabrina was still in shock, too numb to even move properly, so I ended up behind the wheel of her car. I prayed the entire time that we wouldn’t run into any cops. Thankfully, the roads were quiet, and we drove smoothly. My hands were shaking on the steering wheel, but I tried hard to stay calm and look like I had it together.Thanks to the countless crime shows I’ve watched and mystery novels I’ve read, I had a rough idea of how people got rid of bodies. Even though I never imagined I would be doing something like this in real life. But I couldn’t leave Sabrina to deal with this on her own. No matter how messed up she was, she was still my s

Chapter: Sisters Forever Sienna’s POVAfter leaving Ethan’s place, I had booked a cab to the restaurant where Julian had asked me to meet him. When I arrived and stepped out of the cab, I was just about to head inside when I caught sight of two figures in a nearby dark alley. They looked familiar, and they seemed to be arguing.I slowed down, my eyes fixed on them, trying to figure out why they looked so familiar. But the alley was dimly lit, and I couldn’t see their faces clearly.Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was Julian calling.“Where are you?” he asked as soon as I answered. He sounded impatient and his tone carried that sense of urgency that his text message had carried. “I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “I just got here. I’m heading in now.”I slipped my phone back into my pocket and took a step toward the restaurant, but I couldn’t help glancing back at the alley. The argument between the two figures had gotten more heated. It almost looked like a physical fight now.That was when I noticed s

The smiles she had worn earlier at the restaurant were gone, replaced by wide, disbelieving eyes.I swallowed hard, my palms turning clammy as silence stretched between us.She took slow, hesitant steps toward me, as if she had just heard the most horrifying thing in her life.Well, apparently, she just had.“Those things… those things you said…” Her voice shook as she forced out the words. “Are they true?”I didn’t answer right away. I just stared at her, feeling a surge of irritation bubbling beneath my skin.This old hag! Why did she have to come outside now? I didn’t bring her here for this. Now, she was going to ruin everything. I felt my hatred for her deepen.Her voice trembled as she pressed on. “Did you really cause Roman’s accident so you could steal him from Sienna?” Her eyes glistened with tears. “Do you actually plan to get rid of Sienna

The sight alone made my stomach turn.I forced a small smile, taking a delicate bite of my own meal."I know, right?" I said smoothly. "They make the best dishes here."Emilia let out an exaggerated scoff as she shoveled another oversized spoonful into her mouth. "That foolish sister of yours really messed up."Her chewing was unbearable to watch. I wanted to grab that spoon and shove it right down her throat."I mean, can you believe she turned down your offer to bring her here?" Emilia gestured dramatically around the elegant five-star restaurant. Even in the expensive dress I bought for her, she looked completely out of place. No amount of fancy clothing could hide what she truly was. Cheap and pathetic.And that irritated me."She’s such an ungrateful bitch," Emilia sneered. "She needs to be taught a hard lesson. Maybe then she’ll finally learn to be appreciative."I kept my small, polite smi

Chapter: Wolfville Blood GamesCALANTHAEloise and Nyx honestly felt like gifts from the gods. With them around, I barely had time to feel sad or think too much about Kaiden. We had a cozy movie night, played silly games, went shopping, and even stopped by the amusement park on our way back. Before I knew it, I was laughing again. And for the first time in a while, I let myself enjoy the moment, pushing all the pain and heartbreak to the back of my mind.Before long, Monday arrived. Since both Eloise and Nyx were still staying over at my place, we decided to go to the academy together. Eloise drove, blasting loud music from her car speakers while Nyx and I sang along at the top of our lungs, laughing like kids.When we reached the academy, the hallway was packed. Students stood in big groups, all crowding around one side of the wall. Everyone seemed excited, trying to catch a glimpse of something.“What do you think it is?” Nyx asked, her eyes scanning the crowd around us. We heard a group of girls squealing in e

Chapter: Savior CALANTHAThe weekend came and it sucked. I was lying on the couch, surrounded by junk food wrappers, eating popcorn straight from the bucket, and staring blankly at the ceiling. I had been bingeing on snacks and doing absolutely nothing for the past few days, stuck in a haze of sadness and confusion. Somewhere in my head, I knew I should probably get up and do something useful, but I just couldn’t.I told myself it was post-breakup depression. Even though Kaiden and I weren’t exactly real mates, the pain still felt real. Maybe that was what made it worse. Falling so hard for someone who never truly claimed me. Pathetic, isn’t it?It still didn’t stop the sudden bursts of tears or those awful waves of emotion every time I thought about him. I couldn’t believe he actually let me go so easily, like I meant nothing.And just as I was spiraling again, my phone buzzed beside me. I grabbed it half-heartedly, expecting a random notification, but it was a message from our friendship group

Chapter: The Curse of the Witch KAIDEN“Just like you asked, I’ve assigned two private security officers to watch over the Luna from a distance,” Bradley reported, standing in front of the dining table where I sat, slowly picking at my food. “They’re highly trained, professional, and personally recommended by Hana.”I didn’t respond right away as I continued to eat. The food tasted like nothing. I was only eating to keep my strength up after my beast had left me completely drained.“Make it five.” I said flatly, still chewing slowly, eyes on my plate. I didn’t bother looking up at him.“Understood, my King. I’ll take care of it.” Bradley replied, bowing slightly.I finally leaned back from the table and gave a small signal. The servants standing by moved quickly to clear the dishes. Bradley’s eyes followed them, then turned back to me with concern.“But… you barely touched your meal, my King.” He said carefully.“I’m full.” I muttered, wiping the corners of my mouth with a napkin.He didn’t leave.

Chapter: Neighbors CALANTHA Bradley drove me, Nyx, and Eloise to the new apartment he had found for me. It was in a tall, high-end building, modern and luxurious. Just like he promised, the place was beautiful. It was spacious and elegant, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window that felt like a wall of glass, looking out over the entire pack.It was perfect. But the ache in my chest wouldn’t let me enjoy it.Together, Bradley and the girls helped me set up the place. We didn’t go overboard. Just the basics: a couch, a center table with a rug, some wall art, a few plants. It was simple, but cozy.By the time we were done, it was almost noon. Bradley offered to drop the girls off before heading back to the packhouse. Before she left, Eloise handed me the emergency pill we had talked about earlier.“Take it right away,” she said, placing the sealed packet in my hand. “If more than 72 hours pass, there’s a risk you could get pregnant.”“Thanks, El.” I whispered, pulling her into a grateful hug.

The smile on her face hadn’t faded, and her eyes were still on Bradley. “We met at the ball the other night. He was… aggressively flirting with the balcony railing.”Bradley chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. “You didn’t have to call me out like that.”They both laughed quietly while Nyx and I exchanged a glance. Nyx narrowed her eyes, studying them.“Wait… are you two crushing on each other?” She asked, tilting her head to look at them more intently.That made me laugh, for real this time. A small, honest laugh that felt like a tiny break from the sadness weighing me down.“Oh, Nyx, you’re faster than your own shadow,” I said, shaking my head. “But it wouldn’t work. Bradley’s dating the Gamma.”Nyx blinked. “Oh.”Eloise’s smile faltered a little, her lips pressing into a flat line. I noticed the flicker of something in her eyes th

She and Nyx had rushed over as soon as I texted them early this morning. I told them Kaiden wanted me out of the packhouse first thing today.I hadn’t slept at all last night. All I did was cry, my hands clutching my chest like I was trying to hold my heart together. The pain was sharp and deep. Nothing like what I felt when Ryker broke my heart. I thought that had been the worst pain I had ever felt. But that was nothing compared to this.This… was real heartbreak. And even now, as the morning light poured through the window, it still felt like I couldn’t breathe.While the girls helped me fold and pack my clothes into my suitcase, I told them everything.

For years, he had been searching for Emma, who had disappeared without a trace after their divorce. When Zane discovers that Emma is the daughter of the family who now owes him everything, he makes a ruthless proposition. An arranged marriage. In exchange, he will wipe away her family’s crushing debts.
Desperate to save her parents, Emma agrees to Zane’s conditions but negotiates a deal of her own. Their marriage will last one year, and if she is not happy in the marriage, she will leave. Zane agrees, but with a twist. If she falls for him again before the year is up, she will remain his forever.

Chapter: Beauty and the BeastEmma"What the fuck is this?" I hissed, rising to my feet and facing him. My voice was sharp and shaky with rising anger. The file shook in my grasp, evidence of the truth I desperately wanted to be wrong about.Zane didn’t flinch. He stood there in the doorway, his expression still unreadable. Stone cold, devoid of any emotion. As if my world hadn’t just shattered at his feet.A desperate part of me clung to the hope that I had misunderstood. That somehow, this was all a mistake."You shouldn’t have come in here.” He said in a calm and controlled voice, like he wasn’t watching me fall apart right in front of him.I let out a bitter laugh, a tear slipping down my cheek. "Did you plan a fake wedding?" My voice cracked, raw with disbelief.Zane’s gaze flickered to the file for a brief second before meeting mine again.

Chapter: Married to the Devil HimselfEmmaI woke up in the middle of the night, my throat dry and aching for water. I already knew why —I was still recovering from all the sex of last night. After all that crazy sexual passion, it was a miracle I could even stand.Slowly, I blinked my eyes open, my gaze landing on Zane’s sleeping form beside me. His arms were wrapped around me tightly, as if even in sleep, he was making sure I wouldn’t disappear. His face was peaceful, his strong features softened in the dim light. For a moment, he didn’t look like the ruthless mafia boss he was. Just a man lost in deep sleep.A small smile tugged at my lips as I studied him. He was breathtaking, almost unreal. Without thinking, I reached out and my fingers traced the sharp lines of his face. His straight nose, his sculpted cheekbones, the defined curve of his lips. He was perfect. If the devil had a face, it would be Zane’s.He stirred slightly under my touch, but instead of waking, he only pulled me closer, his grip tightening around

As the hot water streamed down my body, I pushed my hair back, my mind consumed by a single thought. Emma.It was late. Too late. Where the hell was she? I had expected her to be home by now. My jaw tightened as an unsettling thought crossed my mind. Could she be with that bastard, Asher Dominguez?They have been spending more time together lately. Getting closer.My teeth clenched.

Asher would be a fool to get under my skin too.Maybe I should get rid of him —take him down along with his father.But he was just a civilian.I let out a frustrated groan, gripping the back of my neck.

She was too pure for that.As soon as I arrived, Miguel was already waiting at the entrance. Without a word, he turned and walked beside me into the house. He led me to the foyer, where my men were gathered. They greeted me as I sat down, their expressions tense.I glanced at my wristwatch, growing impatient. I didn’t want to be here —not tonight. I should be at home, waiting for Emma and the little ‘surprise’ she had planned for me.“Don Carlos is stepping out of line, boss.” One of my men finally spoke, breaking the silence.I lifted my gaze to meet them.

Chapter: Free Tasting EmmaDetermined to boost my dessert bar’s popularity, I decided to try a marketing tip I had seen on the internet the next day. First, I created an Instagram account and started posting pictures of our desserts. They were pictures of beautifully plated pastries, creamy cheesecakes, and chocolate-drizzled delights. To make things more fun and engaging, Eleanor and I took a few selfies, making goofy, silly, and cute faces while holding some of the desserts.Under each post, we added hashtags to increase visibility. #SweetIndulgence #BestDessertsInTown #MadeWithLove #FreeTastingTodayThen, to attract foot traffic, we printed out colorful flyers and planned to distribute them to passersby, inviting them in for a free tasting in the bar. From what I had read, my launch event had been a grand affair, mostly catering to elites. But I wanted to make sure everyday people —the kind who might become my most loyal customers— also got to experience my desserts.So, while I waited inside, hopin

A Weakling Bride for the Lycan King
Elena has always been an outcast. Born with a hole in her heart, blamed for her mother’s death during childbirth, rejected by her father, and treated as a servant in her own home, she grew up lonely and unloved. With a weak heart that leaves her fragile, she had never felt like she belonged. Until the night everything changed.
At the Full Moon Festival, everyone is shocked when the mate bond ties the smoking hot and ruthless immortal Lycan King; Lycan Nikolai, to Elena. For centuries, Nikolai has searched for his destined Luna—a reincarnation of the powerful woman he once loved but lost tragically. Realizing that Elena is weak and sick, he rejects her without a second thought.
Elena’s stepsister, Sophie, gladly takes her place as Nikolai’s Luna, unaware that fate has other plans.

Thrown into a ruthless world of elite wolves, betrayal, and secrets, Elena is determined to survive. As she uncovers her own hidden strength, she begins to form an undeniable bond with Nikolai. But Sophie won’t let go so easily, and the shadows of Nikolai’s past threaten to destroy everything. Secrets unravel, prophecies are revealed, and enemies rise from the shadows.

Chapter: Playing the Enemy’s Game[ Elena ]The Moon Mating Gala was just two days away, and the entire pack was buzzing with preparations. The academy had gone on a short break, giving everyone time to get ready. Young girls were beginning to fill the streets, shopping for dresses and accessories, hoping to shine their best at the grand event.I had never attended the Moon Mating Gala before. It was reserved for the elite girls of the pack —the daughters of high-ranking wolves, or at the very least, the most beautiful ones. The gala was a tradition where newly mated wolves, chosen during the last full moon festival, had their first official dance. They would present themselves before the Lycan King and Queen, along with other honored guests.And yet, here I was —not just attending, but standing as the Lycan Queen. Me.

Chapter: Sweet Punishment Elena As Nikolai and I stepped into the throne room, I never expected the ‘important guests’ he mentioned to be Valerie and my father. But what shocked me even more was the state they were in. They were kneeling on the floor, hands bound, their clothes disheveled as if they had been roughly handled. Two guards stood behind them with stone cold expressions on their faces. I frowned in confusion.What had happened? What offence had they committed?“Sit.” Nikolai said as we reached the thrones.I hesitated, glancing down at the joggers and oversized top I was wearing. If I had known we were coming here, I would have changed into something more appropriate. It felt wrong to sit on the throne dressed like this.“Sit,” he repeated, his gaze locked onto mine.Forcing a small, thin-lipped smile, I obeyed, lowering myself onto my throne while he settled into his own beside me.From where she was kneeling, Valerie shot me a hateful glare. I still wondered what all of this was about.“Elena,”

The pain from last night was still there, but it wasn’t as sharp. It was dull now, a lingering ache rather than the unbearable torment it had been.How did I get here?I tried to piece together everything that had happened.

Back in this place. This nightmare I knew too well. A memory that had haunted me all my life. A past I could never escape.“Get up already! Don’t be a lazy ass!”A familiar voice rang through the air, softening the ache in my chest even as it deepened the wound.I turned toward the sound. The sunlight faded just enough for me to see ‘her’ riding toward me on a horse, her golden hair flowing like silk in the wind. She was breathtaking. Effortless grace and strength in every movement.

It was a wretched place —damp and suffocating with the air thick with the stench of decay and something long forgotten. A single, pathetic window sat high above, barely allowing a sliver of light to seep through, casting eerie shadows against the cold, stone walls. With a deep sigh, I leaned back against the cold, rough wall and slid to the floor. My face was streaked with dried tears, but I wasn’t angry at Nikolai for locking me up. If anything, I was surprised this was all he had done. Knowing him, I had expected far worse. Nikolai didn’t take betrayal lightly, and stealing from him—even for a good reason—was still a betrayal. I stayed in that cell until nightfall, my body growing weaker with every passing hour. My throat burned with dryness, and my stomach twisted in hunger. I had eaten nothing all day. I had left the packhouse without breakfast, spent hours with evil Valerie, and then ended up here, aban
