Shenaya's POVI couldn’t shake off the unsettling feeling that had been gnawing at me for days. I started having the feeling that someone was lurking around the Roux estate. The sensation of being watched clung to me like a shadow, it grew more intense with each passing hour.I doubled the security at the estate, ordered the guards to double their patrols, and gave strict instructions that only Aiden should be granted access whenever he arrived. I could sense some danger coming and I had to keep my family safe.That evening, I decided to put my pups to bed earlier than usual, because I wanted to have a long talk with Aiden, the silence between us was killing me and I needed to be clear of what was going on. I made my way to the pup’s room, I cracked the door open and I was surprised when I met with silence in the room.The beds were empty. The room was generally emptyPanic surged through me, I quickly turned and bolted down the hallway. I rushed to Ethan and Isla’s suite, hoping to f

Shenaya/Emily's POVI sat on my favorite plush couch in Lilah’s store, I fidget with the edge of my dress as I recall the awkward moment in the bedroom with Aiden. Lilah was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the couch, with her chin resting on her palm, listening to me intently.“So, wait. Let me get this straight,” Lilah said while raising an eyebrow. “You were practically naked, he had you on the bed, and then he just left?”I nodded, exhaling in frustration.“Yes! He left me there. Completely turned on. No explanation. Just... gone.”Lilah squinted her eyes at me in disbelief.“Are you sure he’s not gay?”I Laugh while shaking my head. “Lilah, if he were gay, I wouldn’t have given birth to Leo, remember?”Lilah threw up her hands. “People change! It’s been years, maybe he’s got a new ‘perspective’ on things.” She smirked, but I could tell there was genuine concern hidden behind her playful tone.Just as I was about to reply, my phone beeped. I glanced at the screen, and my
Aiden's POVI stood behind the bathroom door, my heart thudding loudly against its cage. I pretended to fumble with the sink and splashed cold water over my face to calm the turbulence inside of me. I could still feel the warmth of Shenaya’s body from earlier as her presence lingered in the air. As much as I wanted her and needed her, I knew I had to give her some space to process what I had said. The confession I made was raw and sounded desperate. I couldn’t risk losing her again, so yeah, I was desperate. I also didn’t want to rush into something fleeting.After hesitating for a moment I twisted the knob to open the door just to find Shenaya on the other side of the door ready to leave.Fear crept into me as I hurried across the room and grabbed her wrist, holding her back softly.“Where do you think you are going?” I whispered trying to cover the fear building up in me.“I’m going to the estate,” Shenaya answered coldly turning her face from me to avoid my gaze. The disappointment
Shenaya's POV"What the fuck?" I muttered in annoyance as the harsh ray of light suddenly snatched my sleep away. I moved uncomfortably under the duvet as I tried to cover my face so I can continue my sleep."Wake up..." an annoying voice that belonged to my best friend Lilah said and snatched the sheet off my body leaving me bare naked on the bed."Ewwww," Lilah pretended to be disgusted at my nakedness. "Em, cover up!" she squealed while I struggled to open my eyes, still exhausted from the previous night. Suddenly, I remembered I spent the night in the warrior quarters at the pack house—in Aiden's room, to be precise. And now Lilah is here. But where is Aiden? I quickly opened my eyes to see Lilah tugging at my legs, trying to wake me up."Lilah, stop acting like a 2-year-old," I said, kicking her hand away. "Where's Aiden? And how did you know I was here?""Your boyfriend told me I could find you here. He…." Lilah paused mid-sentence with surprise on her face."Oh my God... he mar
Shane's POVI sat at the edge of a couch in Ethan’s office with my hands clasped tightly together, the anxiety flooding through my thoughts right now cannot be overstressed. The tension in the room is thick enough to be cut with a knife. I had just finished telling Aiden and Ethan everything Zoey had told me, they both sat across from me in deep thoughts of a solution.Aiden’s anger was evident on his face and even in his body, but Ethan was calmer and was just trying to think of something that would help. The thought of Skylar secretly visiting a seven-year-old still scares me.“I haven’t heard from her in the last seven years, why is she back now?” Aiden said unable to contain his anger and irritation."If anything happens to Zoey... I won’t be able to forgive her," I said with a trembling voice, “Skylar is dangerous, and she’s already started manipulating her.”“I knew she was going to come back eventually but getting us back through Zoey is something I didn’t think she would do.
Andrew's POVI got up and looked at my phone for probably the thirtieth time today only to see Shenaya’s name disappear because of the low backlight on the LCD screen of my phone. She still wasn’t picking up. Not a single call or even a damn text message from her.She had been acting weird since the night we kissed and it's been awkward between u. She had been avoiding me like a plague since the last time e saw her at the club. I do not want to drag Lilah into this, but with Shenaya's attitude, I think I will have to. Aiden is here and this is the time I have to make her mine. Even if I have to play the victim here to make her mine I will. I know Lilah would be in my favor because she had always wanted Shenaya and me to be together. She once mentioned that we would be a perfect couple. Everyone could see it, I don't know why Shenaya herself isn't seeing it the way she should. I could have used a spell on her like Skylar did on Aiden years ago but she wasn't my mate. It could only wor
Andrew's PovHow could Skylar still be alive? Most importantly, with the look on her face, she looked like she already had plans for everything she wanted to do. Why was she after Zoey? I mean I knew Zoey was her daughter but if she wanted to take it, she would have done that by now instead of taunting them by appearing and disappearing in her life. I later called Lilah to hear the full story about Skylar having been visiting Zoey and thankfully she told me everything and how Skylar told Zoey, Shenaya wasn't her mother. What the hell was she thinking?I lodged the rooftop hotel closest to the Roux estate so I could keep an eye on Zoey and Shenaya from there. I sat on the balcony, I could capture the whole city of Pari from the spot. My eyes landed on the Roux residence and it reminded me of the Caesar residence. "The Caesar Legacy" as my mother would proudly call it. It still isn't mine yet, I promised my mom I would take the rightful place and it's been years now. I only came close
