MILES’ POV “We’re getting a divorce,” I said as I set the food down on the table in front of Roxy, hiding my battered knuckles from her. I had punched the wall several times last night until my hands bled. I had let out my anger the only way I could without causing more chaos. Roxy looked up s
For a moment, Evans and Rico remained silent. Rico raised his eyebrows, clearly trying to measure my mood, while I poured myself another drink. I wasn’t even sure why I was drinking this much. To celebrate my freedom? To numb my guilt? Maybe both. “I just hope,” Rico began cautiously, breaking the
RHEA’S POV “Hello, you’ve reached Alpha Miles Mondragon of the Snowfall Pack. I’m currently unavailable to take your call, but your message is important to me. Please leave your name, contact information, and a brief description of your concern, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. If
Despite myself, I couldn’t help but smile faintly. “Thank you, Evans,” I said quietly. Without further protest, I slipped into the passenger seat as he held the door open for me. He shut the door gently before rounding the hood and sliding into the driver’s seat. * As we pulled into the hotel par
RHEA’S POV “I’m sure you’re satisfied standing there with that test result in your hands,” Miles said sharply the moment we stepped into his suite. His voice was cold, and he paced frantically. “And, of course, according to you, pregnant with what I presume you’re going to claim is my child.”
My breath hitched. “Address this situation?” What did that even mean? “I’ll speak to Dr. Shawn,” he added, his tone clipped. “She will take care of you and the pregnancy.” I looked at him in bewilderment, my heart pounding so loudly it drowned out the sound of his words for a moment. But when the
MILES’ POV The deal had been a success. Another financial milestone secured, another round of applause from the boardroom filled with sharp suits and fat wallets. It was almost six in the evening, and I should’ve been celebrating, or at least feeling satisfied. Instead, I was sitting in my hote
“Alpha,” she said, her voice light with just a hint of hesitation. “What a coincidence.” “Roxy,” I said evenly, glancing at Rico, who gave her a curt nod of acknowledgment. “What are you doing here?” She offered a polite smile. “Oh, I’m staying here. I was just heading back to my room.” I blinked
I turned to look at her. She smiled faintly, though her own eyes betrayed a sadness she tried to hide. “If Rhea is meant for you,” she continued, "the Moon goddess will surely make your paths cross again. But if not...” She hesitated, as if the thought pained her as much as it pained me. “If not, t
THE VERDICT MILES’ POV A month later... Elder Aldric Silvermane cleared his throat and scanned the council room. The room fell silent as he began: “Roxy Chapman, you stand before the Wolf Council accused of grave crimes that strike at the heart of pack law and harmony. These crimes are not mi
“You can’t be serious,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Do I look like I’m joking?” he snarled, finally turning to glare at me. The rain poured harder, drumming against the roof of the car. I hesitated, my mind racing. Surely, he wouldn’t leave me here. Not in the middle of a storm. “Mi
COLD NIGHTS, COLDER HEARTS RHEA’S POV FLASHBACK CONTINUES “What the hell was that?” Miles snapped, turning to face me. His eyes blazed with an intensity that made me shrink back slightly. We were now inside his car after the party, about to go home. He had dismissed his driver, opting to drive
I hesitated, unsure whether to introduce myself. Would Miles even care if I interacted with someone else? It wasn’t as if he had shown me an ounce of regard all night. Finally, I took his hand and gave him a polite smile. “Rhea,” I said softly. “Luna of Snowfall Pack.” “Luna,” Zane repeated, his l
A NIGHT AT THE BALL RHEA’S POV I stood by the window, staring out into the stormy night. Rain drummed steadily on the roof. Droplets slid down the glass in uneven patterns, illuminated by occasional flashes of lightning streaking across the dark sky. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to ward
My hands froze mid-action. “Our baby,” she whispered, her voice barely audible now. “Your heir. He’s done nothing wrong, Miles. He doesn’t deserve the brunt of your anger because of my mistakes. Please.” Her words came out in a rush, each one punctuated by broken sobs. My hands, still gripping he
REGRET MILES’ POV FLASHBACK CONTINUES The room was dark, the only light was coming from the faint moonbeam filtering through the window. I sat in one corner with a half-empty bottle of whiskey on the table beside me. I saw her figure pause at the door for a moment, and her hand moved toward the s
She reached out, gently patting Rhea’s arm, her smile as bright as the chandelier above us. Rhea gave her a small, tentative smile in return, but it was enough to make my gut churn. She doesn’t deserve to smile. She doesn’t deserve this kindness. “Thank you, Luna,” Rhea replied softly. “That would
