I let her words settle in the air, unbothered by her outburst.Eva slammed her hands onto my desk, leaning forward. “This is a mistake. She’s a threat, Caspian. Maybe not in the way you think, but she will turn Adrian against you. She will turn people against you. I can already see it. She is going
Valerie:I wasn’t in the mood for petty fights. Not today.After everything that had happened, all I wanted to do was get some fresh air, away from all the bullshit that I was dealing with for the day.After settling Adrian into the villa, making sure he was comfortable, I decided to take a walk aro
“Do you really believe that I want to be in his life or that I want him to be in mine?” I scoffed, shaking my head. “Eva, I’m here for my son, not for Caspian. You’re the one who seems worried about where I stand with him. That’s telling, don’t you think? I am really curious about how you didn't man
Caspian:I stood on the balcony overlooking the estate grounds, my arms resting on the railing as I watched the scene unfolding below.Valerie was outside with Adrian, the boy laughing as she chased him around the garden. His laughter was light, full of innocence, a stark contrast to the war brewing
Valerie:The soft rustling of leaves carried through the estate as Adrian and Daniel ran side by side, their laughter filling the space between them. Watching them, I couldn’t help but smile. They were children, and they were acting like it.I knew that rage might have been a feeling that I had towa
Caspian:Dinner at the estate was usually a quiet affair, filled with polite conversation and the occasional murmurs of pack discussions. But tonight, the atmosphere was anything but calm.It wasn't because there was an argument, no, but I could feel the arguments stirring to happen.Eva did not say
“No… she didn’t say anything bad, Mama.” He shifted uncomfortably. “She was just nice to me. We only played.”Eva scoffed, shaking her head as she let out a bitter laugh. “Of course, she was nice. Of course, she made sure to wrap you around her little finger. She is just going to take advantage of b
Valerie:The morning was quiet, to my surprise, it was actually peaceful around the pack.The air still carried the lingering coolness of the night as I stepped outside the villa with Adrian beside me. The sun was barely peeking over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the estate.I smiled at th
Caspian:The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the lanterns casting shadows along the walls. The steady rhythm of Valerie’s breathing filled the silence, but it did nothing to ease the tightness in my chest.Just as she has been for the past few days.She was still unconscious. Still unmoving.Th
Giovanni:Eva paced the length of the dimly lit study, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her movements sharp with frustration. I leaned back in my chair, watching her with mild amusement as I swirled the dark amber liquid in my glass.She was angry. Impatient. Reckless.Typical.“You had her,
Caspian:Valerie looked small.I had never seen her like this, pale, still, vulnerable. The woman who had spent the last few months defying me, challenging me at every turn, was lying unconscious on the infirmary bed, her breathing shallow, her body still.The sight twisted something deep in my ches
Caspian:Something was wrong.“She left the pack grounds, Alpha.” Mateo said, looking at me. I have been looking for value for the past hour. I needed to speak to her and yet she was nowhere to be found. “If you are going to ask about Adrian, he is in the pack, he's in the villa. She went out for a
“You are an interesting woman. No wonder she took your place, Eva.” The man said, and I raised an eyebrow.“I see that you have managed to find yourself a new toy to play with.”“And I am surprised that a Caspian is not putting you in place. You seem to forget that I am the alpha and not her.” The m
Valerie:I knew that I shouldn't be feeling bad for him.I knew that this was a path that he drew for himself, that everything that he was getting was a result to the consequence of his choices.When I looked at him, when I saw his pain in his eyes as Adrian called him Alpha Caspian, I couldn't help
Caspian:I walked through the halls of the packhouse, my mind clouded with thoughts I couldn’t shake.Words that I did not want to allow myself to digest.Nor did I want to allow myself to see them in this normal. Because I knew deep down that it was not.Alpha Caspian.That was what Adrian called m
Valerie:I walked through the halls of the pack house, my steps steady, but my mind was far from calm.I was still angry. Still irritated. And if I let myself think too much about everything that had happened, the accusations, the betrayal, the way Caspian had thrown me into this mess without a seco
Eva:I stood in the dimly lit study, my arms crossed tightly over my chest as I faced Giovanni. He looked the same as I remembered, cold, calculating, his sharp eyes holding the same unyielding intensity as before. He leaned back in his chair, swirling the whiskey in his glass, his expression unread
