VALERIA I slipped out of my clothes and into something befitting for the evening. I just finished reading a bedtime story to Dave before his eyes fluttered close as he held onto my hands.My heart swelled as I watched him sleep soundly. Oh, my handsome boy! I ruffled his hair gently and pressed a kiss on his forehead."Goodnight my angel," I whispered as I tucked him securely under the sheets.I went to my bedroom and then into the bathroom to wash my face and apply my skincare routine before I called it a night.I paused and heaved out a deep sigh as I assessed my features in the mirror.A slow, smirk bloomed on my lips as I replayed the events that occurred at the office earlier today.I muffled a giggle.That jerk! He thought I was serious when I told him I had to leave urgently because of the so-called important call.Well, the so-called important call never happened. It was a prank to leave the office."Collins, I need a weeny bit of a favor. It's not a big deal." I had told
REESEI still couldn't believe my eyes. What the hell did Chase have to do with Valentina? I couldn't help but wonder, with an ache in my chest, if Chase and Valentina were mates or married. Just the mere thought of Valentina being in the arms of another man, and Chase, for that matter, made my blood boil with rage.She belonged to me and no one else.Fuck him! The way he kept looking at Valentina as if she were some juicy stake that he hadn't eaten in decades made me clench my teeth in fury.The gaze he fixed on Valentina was a possessive one; I could sense it, and she was uncomfortable in his presence. Could it be that Chase had been forcing himself on her?!I felt a tick of anger and envy begin to pulse beneath my skin. I had to resist the brewing urge to get her out of here, away from my evil brother, as much as possible.I swallowed, trying to rein in the turbulent thoughts swirling inside of me.I cleared my throat, my gaze zeroing in on Valentina as I asked firmly,"Valentina,
VALERIAToday, I will check out the new property I recently acquired from Reese. My heart raced with a lot of confusing and anxious thoughts about the incident from yesterday.I didn't get it at all. I was still as confused as ever. Who could have thought that Chase was related to Reese? How come I never knew that Reese had a brother, even when I was married to him?Hmmmm.....how suspicious.Now that I think about it, maybe I never really knew my ex-husband and mate like I thought I did. It was so weird that I had to find out this way.What more could he possibly be hiding under his sleeves?I quickly got changed and made my way downstairs.As I was about to leave, I realized I had forgotten the documents."Shit!" I muttered in exasperation as I turned around to pick up the document in my room.As I was heading back downstairs, the corner of my eye caught something on the table in the living room.It was a briefcase.My eyes squinted curiously as I eyed the briefcase on the table. Wai
VALERIAThe property now belongs to me. There was no way in hell I would leave the property for them at all. I did a little scouting around the house as I scanned the place, ensuring everything was intact.I took the stairs and did a little detour. After a couple of minutes, I headed back downstairs.To my surprise, Cynthia was still standing there with her friends.I thought, after the humiliation, that she would storm off with her friends in embarrassment. But why was she still here? What more did she want? I already showed her proof of ownership.I descended the stairs carefully, reining in the turbulent thoughts and emotions swirling inside my mind."What are you still doing here, Cynthia? Didn't I make myself clear earlier that this house now belonged to me? What more do you want?!" I wailed, irritation marring my brows.What the hell was her problem?But the look she gave me indicated she wasn't about to back down very easily without a fight.She didn't believe that I could affo
CYNTHIAI watched her lose consciousness as she slumped to the floor, blood oozing out from where I had stabbed her.My face split into a devilish grin.In this way, I could kill her and dispose of her body, and no one would know about it.Of course, I would also erase every trace of my involvement. Valeria Ashton had always been my great obstacle and arch-enemy. Hence, getting rid of her once and for all would bring me great satisfaction.But first, I needed to get her out of here as quickly as possible before anyone came to the house unexpectedly.I quickly reached for my phone and called my boys to come over and get her out of here as quickly as possible.I paced the room, my heart racing as I waited for them.Soon, they arrived, and they carried the frail and unconscious body of Valeria to the car, and I followed urgently behind them.In a few minutes, we arrived at our secret rendezvous point. It was a dark underground building where my boys usually did my dirty jobs for me.They
REESEWhat the hell was Cynthia up to since she stormed out of the house that night? When I got the call that Valentina had been captured, my heart leaped in my throat as panic seared through my chest.I couldn't believe that I was so scared of losing Valentina. This incident revealed how invaluable Valentina was to me. I didn't want to lose her. My life may have no meaning, and it was surprising that I could think of her like that. For someone who I didn't know so well and yet...The door opened, revealing Cynthia with confusion and fear in her eyes.My spine bristled with anger. How could she do that? Why on earth did she kidnap Valentina Wilson of all people?!"What on earth were you thinking, Cynthia?!" I bellowed. "Why did you abduct our company's highest shareholder? Have you finally lost it?!"Her eyes bulged in shock, and her lips trembled as she spittered."W-what? Why would I do that?""I don't have the time for your senseless games, Cynthia. Our company may go under because
VALERIAMy plan worked.A slow, self-satisfied smile bloomed on my lips as I was unbonded from the chains that once held me hostage.After Cynthia was summoned by Reese, my secretary made it here just in time to rescue me. Thank the moon goddess for giving me that instant idea to quickly message my secretary before the unconsciousness swallowed me.If I hadn't, maybe I wouldn't be alive by now.Fuck! Cynthia was more venomous than I had imagined! I grimaced, clutching my back where the stab wound was still fresh."Fuck that bitch!" I muttered under my breath in anger."How are you feeling?" Collins, my secretary, said it with pity and concern etched in his brows.I shook my head slowly."I don't know. It fucking hurts. That bitch poisoned the knife." I snarled."Good thing I came along with a first aid box. Come on, let me see the wound so I can disinfect it."I nodded and arched my back for him to see properly."If you will excuse me, I need a better look."I nodded, permitting him t
CHASEFuck! I couldn't believe it! Why was I sobbing like a toddler whose toys were snatched from his grasp?!I just wanted this woman underneath me, thrashing and begging me to fuck her harder.I was dying to have a taste of her already! I'm freaking sure she tasted heavenly. That's why my stupid ass brother couldn't seem to get his eyes off her.Valeria, I must have you at any cost, goddammit!I could barely contain myself as I gazed at her. Lustful desire coursed through every fiber of my being like electricity. My dick twitched in my pants as I imagined it ramming inside of her, and our naked bodies entwined.The need to carry her out of here and take her to my bed was tempting as it taunted my senses.Every time I was in her presence, it was as if all my logical reasoning had gone on vacation. The thoughts of making love to her incessantly plagued my mind, and I was steadily losing control of reining in the lewd thoughts of Valeria in the back of my mind.It was nearly impossible
VALERIA And just like that, everything was beginning to look up for the better. Bree, Chase, and Cynthia were now executed, ushering a phase of new beginnings for the Blue Moon Pack. I couldn't be prouder of my kids for saving us times without numbers! With tears blurring my vision, I looked down on my kids, hugging us tightly, fighting the whirlpool of emotions threatening to spill over. They had saved me and Reese on countless occasions, and now, they had saved their grandfather, the former king, and Alpha of the Prestigious Blue Moon Pack, Marion. I couldn't believe my ears when he narrated that my twins, Dave and Derek, were the ones that appeared to him in a dream, warning him of the impending danger we were in and even guided him back to the pack he had lost track of. These kids were more powerful than I had ever imagined. They alone faced off Chase and Cynthia and even Bree. This was just another solid proof that the Moon goddess was always on our side. It had
MARION The sound of the execution drum echoed in the distance, marking the end of an era. My heart felt heavy as I watched Bree, Cynthia, and Chase being led away to meet their fate. As they were dragged away, the sounds of chains clinking faintly in the distance. They were once part of my life—Bree, the woman I had loved so deeply, and Chase, the boy I believed was my son. But that love was a lie, a festering wound that had rotted from the inside. It was over now, and with their execution, I hoped to close the chapter on that betrayal. How did it come to this?! The weight of it all settled heavily on my chest. I never imagined it would end like this—executions carried out in the name of justice, and yet, there was no joy in my heart, no sense of victory. Only a deep, gnawing ache. I turned to face Reese. My son. My pride. And his children—my grandchildren. I had been apart from them for so long, but now, we were together again. Instead, I sought solace in the eyes o
BREEI never imagined it would come to this. Banishment. Exile from the Blue Moon Pack. Fuck!I paced the cold, dimly lit hall, and I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms until it hurt. But the pain did little to calm the storm inside me. After everything I had worked so hard for, how could this be happening? My life's ambition, my every calculated move to ascend the throne, all of it now lay in ruins. The air around me felt suffocating, and my vision blurred with anger and disbelief. "Why?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "Why was this happening to me?"The answer was simple: they had found out. Reese's food. Damn it! How could I have been so careless? What a fool I’d been to let myself be caught like that. The footage was undeniable, raw, and vivid—it showed exactly how I spiked Reese’s cup of tea. No excuses, no plausible deniability. Just my treachery laid bare for all to see. And Marion. My husband. The man who had once hung on every word I said, whose loyalty I
BREE When power corrupts you, it seeps into every corner of your soul, twisting your thoughts and poisoning your actions. It wasn’t immediate, not at first. In the beginning, it was ambition—an innocent desire to rise above my station. But now, as I stared at the reflection in the polished glass, I barely recognized the woman staring back at me. The effects of the black magic I’d meddled with had crept deep into my veins, making me easily irritable, my moods volatile. I found myself lashing out at the maids, the servants, even little Reese when Marion wasn’t around. Of course, I couldn’t afford to show that side of myself in his presence—not when I hadn’t yet achieved what I set out to do.I couldn’t afford for him to notice my change in behaviour, not when I was so close to everything I’d been working for. But it wasn’t just Marion standing in my way anymore. I had a far greater adversary, one I didn’t fully comprehend until it was too late.Reese. That child. The rumoured vessel
BREE"Ahem!"A deep voice from the shadow almost made me jump.I was so blown away by the view in front of me that I didn't notice the huge king-size bed in the corner and a huge white-beard man clad in a luxurious golden robe seated on the bed, watching me intently.The Alpha! The famous Alpha Marion!!!My eyes widened in admiration and fear. He was... was there even a perfect description for a godlike Alpha wolf seated before me? He was magnificent! I had never had the honor of meeting the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack closely before. This was....surreal!I quickly fell on my knees on impulse and bowed my head, paying my respects.As omegas, we dare not stand on our feet in the presence of the Alpha and even look him in the eyes. That's how we're programmed to act anyway, but the ever-ambitious Bree had always craved more.People laughed, derided me, and called me a fool forever, believing that a beta talkless of alpha would look in my direction. Taking interest? Nah, it's never going
BREEYou know that moment when you start hating your kids? Yep, that was the stage I was at right now.Or perhaps the dark magic was already consuming my heart, as the witch had warned.Maybe hate was a strong word, but I was indifferent, and I spent less time with her family. I was always locked in the hidden chambers, honing my dark magic skills, biding my time until it was ripe.It took me a long time, but I knew that I had to be patient if I wanted to achieve substantive results.It's been weeks since I've paid a visit to the witch, and ever since, I've been honing my skills and trying to follow the instructions she had given meticulously to avoid any complications to the spell. I needed the spell to prepare the portion that would inevitably eliminate my husband for good as the witch had promised.I was counting on her words...I had one goal in mind: to lay claim to the position of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. That's right. I was going to be the first female Alpha of the Blue
BREEThen silence followed in fear that a man who was supposed to be long dead was standing right in front of everyone!The silence that followed his statement felt deafening, almost suffocating. My heart hammered in my chest, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My mind raced, trying to make sense of what I was hearing, but it didn’t make sense. How could he be standing here after all these years?I stumbled back a step, the weight of his words pressing against my chest, making it hard to breathe. “That’s impossible. I saw it myself. There’s no way you could have survived that.”Marion’s lips curled into a grim smile, his eyes dark with the weight of his truth. “I was kidnapped, Bree. Taken far away, to another pack. One so distant I didn’t even know how to trace my way back.”I blinked, shaking my head as if I could somehow shake away his words. But they clung to me, suffocating me and pulling me down into the abyss of realization.Kidnapped? Dumped in some distant pack? But I had
BREEFor the first time in years, I felt true fear. My entire plan, the careful manipulations, and the decades of secrecy had suddenly crumbled around me in an instant.Marion’s eyes locked on mine, cold and unforgiving. His lips curled into a bitter, twisted smile. “You thought wrong.”His voice reverberated through the hall, deep and gravelly, full of unspoken menace. I felt the room shift, the pack’s attention snapping away from me and toward him. The murmurs grew louder, a wave of uncertainty sweeping through the ranks.“Your time is over, Bree,” Marion growled, his eyes never leaving mine. “I never thought you would go this far. But now I see... I see exactly what you’ve become.”I gripped the staff tighter, the familiar surge of power flowing through me, but it did little to quell the panic rising in my chest. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t supposed to be *alive*.“You don’t understand,” I spat, my voice rising in desperation. “I did this for us—for the pack. You were
BREEToday, victory never tasted so sweet.I beamed at my reflection in the mirror. I was clad in an extravagant, luxurious Victorian ball dress befitting of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. Everything was in order, and the fact that I would soon be crowned the new Alpha sent excited shivers down my spine.The day is finally here, and all my plans have been running smoothly till the very end.Oh Marion, if only you were still alive to witness my ascend to the throne... but that would have been a bumper to my plans now, wouldn't it?It was better I got rid of you to fulfill it. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here today.By now, Valeria and Reese, alongside their good-for-nothing twins, would have been eliminated by Chase and Cynthia as planned.A devilish grin curled up at the corner of my lips in jubilation.This was just the beginning of the new chapter that I had always wanted!How satisfying!!!A light tap on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.I adjusted my dress, smoothing it ca
