I felt him before I saw him.

A soft pressure at my back, the heat of his chest brushing against mine as his presence filled the space behind me. My breath caught. The warmth of him was unmistakable. It was Jaxon.

"Querida," his voice was a hushed whisper, sending a shiver down my spine. The sound of the nickname he only called me from his lips was both familiar and dangerous. He leaned in closer, his lips barely brushing my ear, the warm breath sending a tremor through me.

I swallowed, trying to hold onto the reality of the moment, but there was no escaping him, no fighting the pull. His hands slid over my arms, gentle but insistent, as though he knew exactly how to make my body respond to him. He moved closer, pressing his body against mine. His strength was a force that I couldn't ignore, even if I wanted to. The heat between us was electric, charged with something both old and new.

His fingers slipped beneath the fabric of my shirt, grazing my skin with a touch so tender it made my

    I sat there on the bed while looking away from him. I tried to think of what Liam could have told him but I couldn't come up with anything because I told Liam a lot of things already. After a while of trying to think and coming up with nothing, he suddenly cleared his throat, inhaled deeply, and started to talk."You should not let your past decide what is going to happen in your future. You need to stand up for yourself regardless of all the hurdles that you might encounter on the way to success. I don't know how I sound right now but you sure understand all that I have been saying to you." I nodded slightly as if I were following all that he was saying but in the real sense, I was only thinking of what Liam had told him. My heart raced faster as I sat there, my head lowered as I avoided his gaze."I don't know what it is about you that I like so much about you. I have told you this several times and up until now, I still can't figure it out." He paused to take a deep breath and I qu

    I woke up to the chirping sound of birds outside the window. My heart raced faster immediately after the thought of being inside the alpha Raymond's pack hit me. "Why would she even come up with that idea?" I asked myself as I came off the bed. My heart skipped a beat as I walked towards the bathroom to freshen up. Not long after, I walked out of the bathroom but still wasn't feeling relieved at all. I walked to the window, actively looking for what was going to distract me from my thoughts. The morning was looking sunny and the maids were all about their normal routine.I was jolted from my reverie when I suddenly heard a knock on the door. "What was she doing here again? Has she come to rub it on my face again?" I asked myself and then took a deep breath before I cleared my throat to respond to the knock."Come in!" I yelled and the door opened immediately, revealing a guard as he walked into the room rapidly, bowing to greet me from afar. I could not help but heave a sigh of relie

    I woke up to the sudden buzz of my phone. I reluctantly opened my eyes to see who the caller was, and then I noticed that it was Zoey who was calling. I quickly sat up on the bed and that was when I noticed that Alpha Maxwell was not in the room as well. I picked up the call and placed the phone over my ears to talk.“Hey! Good morning!” I said immediately the call connected. I grunted slightly as I came off the bed and walked towards the bathroom. She did not seem to hear what I said, and then I repeated my earlier statement. “Good morning, lady Ariana.” Her voice echoed through the phone and I inhaled deeply. I stepped into the bathroom and then quickly went over to ease myself, but uttering a single word as I did not want my voice to echo inside the bathroom. As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I walked towards my bed and sat at the edge before I started to talk.“How is it going over there?” I asked her immediately I sat on the bed and I heard her take a deep breath before

    Alpha Gabriel's POV“Good morning, alpha Gabriel. I hope you had a great night?” Laura tried to get on the food side of me as she walked up to me, but the kind of fierce stare that I gave her, made her retract from what she was about to do. I heaved a sigh as I halted my steps and tilted my head to look at her.“Wait! What are you still doing her in the pack? You ought to have left by now. Why are you still here? It's confirmed that you have no business to do with her disappearance, and besides you were already leaving that day before I stopped you.” My voice was stern and coarse as I spoke to her. She inhaled deeply, lowering her head, but I was not moved by all what she was doing. I only waited patiently for her to do all she was doing so that she could start talking.“I just thought that leaving you in your trying times like this would be a wicked and callous act to do, and I don't want that at all.” I could not help but chuckle as I looked her in the eyes sternly before I cleared

    I dropped the phone on the bed and I walked towards the door to see who was knocking. Just as I placed my hands on the door knob, I felt dizzy and quickly lose balance. I fell straight to the ground and everything began to move hazy in my eyes. “What was wrong with me?” I asked myself and I noticed that the door suddenly opened. Jake walked inside to meet me on the floor I tried to talk, but my mouth was too weak to even form a word and just then, my eyes went shut.

    “Liar! Another word from your mouth and I will change my mind about not killing you!” I growled. She glanced at the both of us looking confused. “What reason would I have to lie? The letter really got delivered to Nick. He received it and assured him he was going to give it to you,” she insisted. First it was elder Thayer and now her? I’ve known Nick since we were still children. All these accusations were absurd. I didn’t believe a single one of them. “You are Kyle’s lackey. You tried to kidnap my children and kill my mate. Who knows? You might be trying to mislead us right now. And even if you aren’t, your companion whom you claim to have given the letter to Nick could have been in cahoots with Kyle without you knowing,” I replied. I glanced towards Daphne who wasn’t saying anything. Was she seriously buying this bullshit?“That’s impossible. He recorded their conversation. If he didn’t receive the letter, that wouldn’t have been possible,” she replied. “When was this?” Daphne as

    “She really did all this?” I asked flipping through the pages of the documents in shock.“Yes Alpha king. From embezzlement, torture, forging of your signature to murder,” Ruby responded. I scoffed in disbelief sitting up properly on my hospital bed. Nicola really did a number on me. She did all this right under my nose. “She killed the woman in charge of the orphanage?” I muttered. Ruby hummed. “She killed her and dumped her body in the sea. She destroyed the cameras around but admitted everything to Daphne. She recorded their conversation.”I was still recovering from the surgery which had thankfully gone well. Asher was still in his room as well. I would have gone out of the hospital on the second day but Daphne made me stay in bed. I hated being idle. “How was she able to pull that off all on her own? There has to be someone hiding her trails,” I replied dropping the papers on the table. She had used my stamp on a lot of forged documents without my knowledge. She withdrew a lar

    Avery“Mrs. Avery, you will be called up to the podium to give your speech soon. Do you need me to help you go over everything again?” My secretary inquired as she walked up to me in a hurry holding my phone in her hands.“There will be no need for that. I went over everything already,” I assured her. I had done that several times over because I knew how important today’s event was. It was an inaugural party held in my honor to take over the family’s business that has been in existence for generations as the new and approved CEO. My eyes skimmed the crowd of influential men dressed in impeccable suits with eye-pleasing-looking women clinging to their arms. The paparazzi and Journalists were scattered around the room, ready with their cameras as their keen eyes darted around for any inside scoop. However, I couldn’t see my husband Ethan anywhere among the crowd. “Have you seen my husband?” I inquired glancing towards my secretary once again.She shook her head, her brows furrowed. “N

    AveryI sat by my father’s bedside, watching the quiet rise and fall of his chest as he lay there, seemingly lost in his own thoughts. He hadn’t spoken much since we arrived at Nathaniel’s mansion. His eyes were open, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind clearly elsewhere.I couldn’t stand the silence any longer.“Dad,” I said softly, my voice barely a whisper, “Is everything okay?”He blinked slowly but didn’t immediately answer. I noticed the deep furrow between his brows, I knew he was lost in thoughts and I was worried, he just got out of a near-death experience and I don’t want him to start thinking again. Finally, he shifted his gaze towards me, and his lips parted as if he were about to speak. But the words never came. Instead, he simply nodded, as though he was trying to convince himself more than me that everything was fine.I pursed my lips, waiting for him to garner his thoughts and speak. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, I reached out and placed my hand over his. T
