I stared out the window of my father's private jet, watching the clouds rush by below me. My mind was heavy with thoughts, trying to make sense of what just happened. Thinking about everything gave me a headache and I just wanted to be somewhere quiet and think of what to do. Deep down, I wanted to believe Jalen but then, he wasn't innocent because I was taking him away from his coronation. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to face my dad. He was seated next to me, with a smug, triumphant grin spread across his face and he leaned back in his seat, stretching his arms behind his head like he just closed a big deal or won a contract."You look really happy Dad. Thank you for foiling my plan.""Did he brainwash you? I can't believe you were so foolish to leave your family, your fortunes, or even your job you cared about because of a Lycan. You even stood your husband-to-be on the altar."I drew in slow steady breaths and my hands clenched so tightly. My dad nudged me and I gave hi

"I wish you could spend the night with me," I said to Genevieve as I held her hand outside the room, feeling a deep sadness wash over me."Come on, Rissa. It's not that bad. Your dad is just mad at you and I know that very soon he'll understand that you and Jalen are in love." "I doubt that," I scoffed. " I'm just so tired of fighting for what I want.""It's going to be okay," she smiled, stroking my cheek. She yawned and I looked at her, taking in her appearance. She looked tired, with dark circles under her eyes and her hair in a messy bun."I'll come to see you tomorrow," she said, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze."How are you, and how are Alan and the baby doing?" I asked a bit worried that she looked so tired. She shrugged, avoiding eye contact. "They're okay."I knew something was off and pressed further, "Is everything okay at home?"She hesitated, looking down at her feet, "I'll tell you tomorrow," she whispered.But I wasn't going to let it go that easily, "No, you have

The monthly family reunion was the next evening and I was dreading it. My aunties, Wendy and Willow were always so loud and my cousins so boisterous that I found it hard to relax around them, especially now that everyone knew about my relationship with Jalen. I had tried to hide in my room, but my mother had insisted that I attend. "Wear something nice and behave yourself," she warned. As I entered the spacious living room of my dad's mansion, I was immediately bombarded by my uncles, aunties, and cousins, dreading the subtle judgments and wagging mouths from them, I smiled and tried to be polite, but inside I was counting down the minutes until I could escape back to my room."Rissa, baby, I'm so glad that you finally came back to your senses and returned home. What were you thinking being with that Lycan, "Aunt Willow said, her floral cologne choking the hell out of me. I wrinkled my nose as I fought my way out of her embrace."We were so worried about you," Aunt Wendy added, her

As we walked into the dark forest, the air was heavy with the scent of pine and earth. The lycan ritual tonight was one that the males of the pack looked forward to. Members of the pack, including the elders and members of the council, led the way to the clearing in the woods where the ritual was to be held. The trees towered above us, their branches reaching toward the sky like outstretched fingers. I felt my senses heighten, every rustle of leaves and snap of twigs making me jump. The only light came from the moon, casting an eerie glow on the path in front of us. My heart was pounding in my chest, the excitement and adrenaline of the ritual coursing through my veins.We made our way deeper into the forest, the sounds of our footsteps echoing in the still night air. Around us, the shadows shifted and swayed. We approached a clearing where we gathered around a large fire. The crackling flames cast dancing shadows on our faces, illuminating their wild eyes and sharp features. This wa

It's been three weeks since I separated from Jalen and my dad had been on my case for weeks now, pressuring me to marry Ivan, and I'd finally had enough."Dad, I can't believe you're making me marry someone who's cheating on me," I said, my voice rising in anger and my hands on my hips as I stood toe-to-toe with my dad determined not to back down. "I don't love Ivan, and I never will. He's a cheat and a liar, and I won't waste my life with someone like that."My dad's face reddened with frustration, his eyes blazing as he pounded his fist on the table between us. "You'll do as I say, young lady," he said, his voice low and menacing. "I've invested a lot of time and money into this match, and I won't let your foolish emotions ruin everything.""It's not foolish emotions," I replied, my anger boiling over. "It's basic common sense. I can't spend the rest of my life with someone who doesn't respect me or our relationship, plus we're in love with different people so what's the point?""Re

I sat on the edge of my chair, excitement pounding in my chest. Dinner was over and the table had been cleared."Dad," I said in a sing-song voice. "I need to show you something."My father looked up at me, his brow furrowed with suspicion. "What is it?" he asked, a hint of apprehension and annoyance in his voice.I held the video in my hands but my dad hesitated to take the phone for me. I stood before him tapping my foot impatiently waiting for him to take the phone. Bryon and my mum hovered around, curious to know what was going on. "Watch this," I said, handing the phone to him. He hesitated for a moment, looking at me skeptically, before finally taking the phone from my hand. He pressed play, and the sound of Ivan and his girl kissing filled the room.As my dad watched the video, his expression changed from suspicion to shock. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for my dad's reaction. He gasped, his hand going to his mouth."Oh my God," he muttered, his eyes wide with disbeli

I got inside Genevieve's house, grabbed my bag, and said goodnight to her. She wished me a safe trip home and I headed to my car, knowing that my bodyguard had seen me with Jalen. I didn't care though. My dad could find out for all I cared. I was so in love with Jalen that nothing else mattered.As I approached my car, I made my way to the door, the cool night air blowing against my skin. I walked over to it, knocked on the window and my bodyguard opened the door and I got inside."You didn't have to wait for me," I said, a smile spreading across my face.The bodyguard nodded curtly. "I'm only doing my job." We drove through the quiet streets, the only sounds coming from the hum of the engine and the occasional cars passing by.Inside, I heard my dad's voice coming from the west wing and quickly ran up the stairs to my room. I locked the door behind me, took off my shoes, and threw my bag on the bed. The brief time I spent with Jalen had made my night, and I was already counting down

After Genevieve called, I quickly hung up the phone, my mind racing with a mix of emotions. I couldn't believe that someone would want to kill Clarissa in her bedroom, despite the tight security. The news was a shock to me, and I immediately told Cade about the situation. Cade gasped and shook his head."Ivan," Cade said, his brow furrowed in thought. "He's always been bitter about her leaving him. He may be responsible."I nodded, my temple pounding with each beat of my heart. The thought of someone hurting Clarissa made me sick to my stomach. But at the same time, I was relieved that Clarissa's dad had always hated me, and now he would know that I had good intentions toward his daughter."Let's go to the hospital," I said, grabbing my keys. "I need to see her and make sure she's okay."" Come on man," Cade smirked, tugging on his earlobe. " That's not a good idea. Why not call her instead? "After hearing from Clarissa I was relieved she was better. Cade sat across from me at the
