REESE

The air was saturated with palpable tension, like a suffocating blanket pressing down on me, making it difficult to breathe.

I stared into Valeria’s eyes. Her expression was unreadable; a storm was brewing behind those fierce irises. The instant I caught the glint in her deep blue eyes, I knew.

Hell, I didn’t need to ask because I already knew the answer. The truth hung between us like a drawn sword, ready to plunge.

A pang of realization hit me like a sack of bricks.

She wasn’t going to deny it, and the realization settled like a heavy weight in my chest, searing as I watched her.

"How did you get that video, Valeria?" I quizzed, my voice low, almost pleading despite the chaotic thoughts swirling inside of me.

But she doesn't give me the satisfaction of an answer. Instead, her lips curl into a snarl, a mixture of defiance and anger simmering beneath her words.

“You have no right to know how I got that video, Reese.” Her voice was cold, each word cutting through the air like a k

    CYNTHIAMy heavy eyes fluttered open, the world around me a hazy blur of shadows and dim light. My head throbbed, a dull, persistent pain that seemed to pulse in tandem with my racing heartbeat. I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy as if I was sinking into the mattress beneath me. Panic coursed through my body, and I quickly fought against the disorientation, forcing myself to prop upright. My wary eyes scanned my surroundings. It wasn't familiar. The room swayed, and I quickly gripped the sheets, her fingers digging into the fabric as I struggled to regain my bearings.Damn! I felt like shit! What the hell happened to me? And why was I here?Panic spread through my veins like wildfire as I realized I wasn’t in any place I recognized.What sort of place was this, and who could have brought me here?!The last thing I recalled was a blur of faces, a chase in the dark, and then… nothing. My breath hitched in my throat, my chest tightening with fear. Where the hell was I? And m

    VALERIA My heart pounded in her chest like a hailstorm as I approached the shadowy warehouse Chase had directed me to. The air was thick with tension, and every fibre of my being screamed at me to turn back, but I ignored it. I was doing this for the sake of my twins. And besides, it was about time I put a stop to this! There was no turning back now. Not when so much was at stake.Chase and Cynthia wouldn't get away with it!The door creaked ominously as I pushed it open, the sound echoing in the empty space. My footsteps echoed, each step heavier than the last. My men followed close behind, their footsteps muffled by the dusty concrete floor.The air inside was thick and humid with the stench of dampness and decay, and I had to fight the urge to puke. My wary eyes quickly scanned the area, my senses on high alert, but the vast, empty space only seemed to mock me with its silence.He had to be here somewhere! He directed me here! What the hell was he planning?"Chase?" I called out

    CYNTHIAI took a gentrified breath into my helpless body, my lungs quivering with residual fright. Every inhale was torture, as if it were laced with shards of glass, and my ribs would snap from the strain.My heart pounded hard and fast like the galloping of a thousand horses, a chaotic rhythm against my chest, still reeling from the encounter with Collins.His words rang through my mind, twisted and venomous, seeping into my thoughts like a creeping poison.“Chase is only using you,” Collins had whispered in that raspy, sinister tone, his burnt skin cracking with every syllable. “He plans to kill you, Cynthia. He told me himself. You need to kill him before he kills you.”The thought of it sent a shiver trickling down my spine, cold and sharp. Collins had seemed so certain, so assured in his revelation, that it had clung to me like a leech, embedding itself in my brain, that I couldn't think of anything else but fear for my life.But as I stood there, trembling and trying to steady

    REESEWith adrenaline coursing through my veins, I charged at him.My alpha’s instinct was on full alert, and the burning desire to save the woman I loved spurred me on.It was like wrestling with a ghost. Collins was fast, unnervingly so, but I could see the madness in his eyes—a man driven by something beyond human, by vengeance too.Each blow I landed felt like hitting a rock, and he barely flinched, even with blood gushing down his face.It was safe to conclude that Collins was no longer humane. He was a monster out for blood! But I was going to put an end to him so that he was no longer a threat to my loved ones.I balled my hands into tight fists as anger surged through my body.I wasn’t backing down! Not this time.Valeria lay behind me, bruised and barely conscious. I had one job—to get her out of here alive.I lunged forward, swinging my fist with every ounce of strength left in me. Collins dodged, grinning with teeth stained with blood, but he was too slow for me.When it co

    VALERIAI had to run out of there before I did something I’d regret. My heart raced as I stormed out of his office in a fit of panic.Fuck! What just happened?!I placed a shaky finger over my lips.The taste of Reese’s kiss still clung to my lips, a dangerous temptation that made me want to forget everything—revenge, betrayal, the endless war between us.Anger rippled through me, not targeted at Reese but at myself for falling into his trap yet again! And more shamefully, at my desire for more. Hell, I didn't want him to stop. I wanted more!I slapped my cheeks in frustration.What the hell are you thinking, Valeria?! Have you gone nuts?!I chided myself mentally and hurried to my car.Damn him!” I muttered under my breath as I climbed into my car, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.I needed distance, needed to get home, and cleared my head before I made another mistake.Damn it, what suddenly came over me? How did I allow that to happen again?!I c

    VALERIA Dave's small hand rested gently on my hand, calming the fury roaring within me.That simple, harmless gesture instantly relieved the strain in my chest, steadying my heartbeat and making the world feel less dangerous.I forced the vile drink out of my throat, gagging as I spat it. The acrid taste persisted, but there was something more—a bitter flavor—that made me nervous. It was then that it struck me.Poison!There was poison in the drink!My eyes widened. Who could have poisoned me?!I froze, a chilly realization seeping through me like ice. My mind raced with questions.How did this occur? Who could have accomplished this? The walls of this house no longer felt secure; they were no longer mine.Could it be Reese? My stomach twisted at the thought. Chase’s warning echoed in my mind:"Reese is dangerous, Valeria. If you get too close, he’ll destroy you.”I gazed down at my son, his wide, innocent eyes staring at me. Could Reese actually be playing me? Luring me into a trap?

    VALERIAThe moment I saw Victor's face snap sideways from the force of Reese’s slap, anger ignited inside me like wildfire.I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed. Why would Reese always blow things out of proportion?!The air between us crackled with tension as I glared at him, and I had to stop myself from lunging at him right then and there. My hands clenched into tight fists at my sides as I rounded on him.“What the hell were you thinking?” I yelled, my voice trembling with fury. “Why would you slap an investor? Are you out of your mind?”Reese’s eyes burned with a mix of anger and something else—something darker as he looked at Victor.His chest heaved as he tried to steady his breathing. But instead of the apology I expected, he spat out words that only added fuel to my fire.“That man,” he began, his voice low and dangerous, “invested in the project because he knew you were back. It wasn’t about business, Valeria. He was interested in you even though he's now married wit

I love you, and I want you with every ounce of my breath.”Hell, why was she so blind to see that I really cared about her? I was willing to do anything to win her back!But she's been so clouded by her thirst for revenge that she can't even see the glimmer of truth and trust me.Deep down, I knew there was a part of her, even the tiniest part, that felt the same way.For heaven's sake! For the first time in my life, I was too weak to control my emotions. I craved her beside me so terribly that it was sometimes suffocating to breathe. If only I could rip apart my chest so she could see how relentlessly my heart beat for her and only her alone.It was building inside me like a storm, churning with every passing moment until I couldn’t take it anymore."I can’t do this anymore,” I said, the words tumbling out before I could filter them. “I can’

    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

  • Can You Believe It? My Ex-Mate Wants Me Back!   Chapter 110

    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
