Kylie’s POV.

Submerged in the cool water, my heart pounding against my ribcage, I watched Graham approach the pool. My immediate reaction was to dive deeper, letting only my eyes hover above the surface, camouflaged by the gentle ripples. I hadn’t expected him here, right now, and the sight of him sparked a visceral anxiety that urged me to hide. As he lounged by the poolside, laughing with friends, oblivious to my presence, I gathered my composure, plotting my next move.

Logan, who had been a comforting presence beside me, excused himself for a moment to attend to some matters, his voice low and reassuring.

“I’ll be right outside if you need me, Anne,” he said. His departure, though inconvenient, provided an unexpected opportunity to act without his watchful eyes interpreting my every move.

With Graham distracted, I eased out of the water, my movements deliberate and unnoticed. Wrapping a towel around my shoulders, I scanned the area, my eyes landing on a potential accomplice—an

    Kylie’s POV.With each new day, the familiar landscape of the swimming pool seemed less daunting. Rather than casting a harsh light on my fears, the morning sun now highlighted the progress I’d made under Logan’s patient instruction. Despite the lingering intimidation from my initial encounters with water, the consistent lessons had become a valuable exercise in overcoming my limits. Logan’s unwavering support was crucial, not just for my swimming skills but also for healing the deeper emotional wounds I carried.Today, as Logan and I approached the pool once again for another lesson, a sudden realization hit me—Flora, my nemesis, was not just a personal threat but a direct business competitor to Logan. This added layer of complexity to our interactions wasn’t just about personal revenge; it was a strategic battle, a clash of corporate titans where Logan’s power significantly overshadowed Graham’s.“Logan,” I began, pausing at the edge of the pool, my voice tinged with a mix of dete

    Kylie’s POV.The dead of night enshrouded the room, a blanket of silence so profound it seemed the world outside had ceased to exist. Every corner was bathed in shadows, and the only sound was the rhythmic whisper of my own breath, harmonizing with the distant hum of the city. The night had wrapped its serene, dreamlike calm around me—a stark contrast to the sudden unease that prickled at the back of my neck, an instinctive warning that the peace was about to be shattered.My eyes snapped open to confront the source of my discomfort: a looming shadow at the foot of my bed, the menacing glint of a dagger slicing through the scant moonlight filtering through the curtains. Adrenaline surged through my veins, slicing through the remnants of sleep with its sharp clarity. Yet, despite the clear and present danger, my mind, honed by years of navigating far graver threats, remained eerily calm.“Who are you?” I asked, my voice steady despite the pressing blade.The woman’s smirk was all sh

    Kylie’s POV.As I trained tirelessly in the days leading up to the banquet, I constantly reminded myself: “I must learn and thrive to become a powerful Luna. At the upcoming event, I must prove my status.” The swimming pool, once a canvas of my fears, had transformed into a crucible where I forged my resolve. Under Logan’s vigilant guidance, every stroke and dive became more than just physical movements; they were deliberate acts of empowerment. The water no longer symbolized fear but represented the fluidity and adaptability required of a leader.Parallel to my aquatic training, dance practice intertwined seamlessly with my swimming regimen, with each discipline informing the other. The dance studio, with its echoing taps and sweeps, resonated with the rhythm of my increasing confidence. I learned to carry myself not just as someone moving to music but as a leader moving through the world. “This is who you need to be,” I would whisper to myself in front of the studio mirrors, wa

    Kylie’s POV.The music and laughter of the banquet had barely faded into a soft murmur when Graham’s demeanor shifted from confusion to suspicion. His eyes, sharp and unyielding, remained locked on me even as the crowd around us moved in oblivious mirth. Standing beside me with a hand lightly resting on the small of my back, Logan seemed momentarily unaware of the tension brewing.“Graham, I assure you, this is Anne,” Logan reiterated with a calm that belied the undercurrent of strain in his voice. His introduction at the banquet had been clear, but it hadn’t dispelled Graham’s doubts.Graham’s laugh was short and devoid of humor. “Come on, Logan. You expect me to believe that? She’s Kylie. I know my wife,” he protested, his voice rising slightly, drawing curious glances from nearby guests.“I understand this is hard for you, Graham, but I’m not who you think I am,” I said, my voice steady, projecting a confidence I hoped would quell his insistence. Inside, my heart raced—each beat

    Kylie’s POVAs the tension from the evening’s events still lingered, I watched Graham retreat to the restroom, clearly flustered and embarrassed by the spilled wine. My instincts told me to help him, despite the turmoil he had caused earlier. Logan, sensing my intent, stepped forward to follow.“Should we help him?” I asked quietly, glancing at Logan.Logan nodded. “I have an extra shirt in the car. Let’s head to the valet and get it.”We made our way through the bustling party, weaving between guests who were blissfully unaware of the drama unfolding. As we reached the entrance, Logan flagged down a valet. “Could you please bring my car around? There’s something I need from it.”The valet nodded and hurried off. As we waited, I turned to Logan. “Thank you for this. I know it’s not your responsibility, but it means a lot.”Logan gave me a reassuring smile. “It’s nothing. Graham might have been out of line, but everyone deserves a chance to save face.”We stood in silence for a m

    The atmosphere in the Wolf Clan’s meeting hall was charged with tension. Elders and leaders sat around the large, circular table, their faces grave and expressions tight. I took my place beside Logan, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on me. This wasn’t just another meeting but a matter of life and death.Logan began the meeting, his voice steady and authoritative. “We’ve received disturbing news about the Umbra Academy. They have taken control of Elder Horace’s Pack and kidnapped his daughter, Leila.”Gasps and murmurs of shock rippled through the room. Elder Horace, a respected figure in our community, looked devastated. The worry etched into his features shattered his usually composed demeanor. His hands trembled slightly as he clasped them on the table.“What do we know about the kidnapping?” one of the Elders asked, his voice laced with concern.Logan glanced at me briefly before addressing the group. “The Umbra Academy has been targeting smaller packs for mont

    Kylie’s POV.I was falling. The sensation of plummeting through the air was both exhilarating and terrifying. The wind roared around me, and the icy water of the river below seemed to rise to meet me. Logan’s face was the last thing I saw before the world turned into a blur of motion and noise. I reached out, my fingers brushing his as he dove after me, determined to save us both.The fall seemed endless, and for a fleeting moment, I was weightless, suspended between the sky and the river. Then, with a jarring splash, the water swallowed me. Cold, dark, and overwhelming, the river’s current pulled at me, dragging me beneath the surface. I struggled to keep my head above the water, gasping for air as the force of the current battered me against the rocks.Through the haze of pain and disorientation, I felt Logan’s arms around me. He had found me in the chaos of the river, his grip firm as he pulled me to the surface. His voice was a distant echo as he called my name, his words filled

    Kylie’s POV.I was almost ready to tell Logan everything, to finally reveal my past. The mark on his neck had stopped me in my tracks—the shock of seeing it had stolen my words, leaving me speechless. As I gathered the courage to speak again, Logan suddenly looked up.“The grilled fish! It must be ready by now,” he said, cutting through my shock with his abrupt exclamation. He stood up and hurried out of the room, leaving me alone with my swirling thoughts.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. The heaviness that had settled over me when Graham left was lifting, replaced by an inexplicable sense of contentment. “How is this possible? I never thought I could trust anyone again.” Logan’s presence was slowly changing everything I thought I knew about trust and betrayal. Graham had shattered my ability to trust, but Logan was piecing it back together, bit by bit. Each kind gesture, each moment of care, was mending the broken parts of me. “Can I really let him in? Can I trus

My hands clench into fists, anger simmering beneath my calm exterior. “She thinks she’s won,” I mutter to myself, my determination hardening. “But this is just the beginning.”I turn to my family, their faces etched with worry and confusion. My mother steps forward, her eyes searching mine. “Kylie, what’s going on? Is everything alright?”I take a deep breath, forcing a reassuring smile. “Mom, Dad, I promise you, everything will be fine. Flora is just trying to stir trouble. I have everything under control.”My father frowns, his concern evident. “Are you sure, Kylie? This sounds serious.”“I’m sure,” I reply firmly. “I’ve dealt with worse. Trust me, I’ll handle this.” I squeeze my mother’s hand, trying to infuse her with some of my confidence. “Please, just go home and stay safe.

    Kylie’s POV.As I drank the milk, I felt a surge of satisfaction. I knew Olivia was watching me closely, awaiting any sign of an allergic reaction. She had no idea that I had taken allergy medication beforehand to counter any symptoms. “You won’t catch me that easily,” I thought, suppressing a smirk.I had anticipated Flora’s interference. Her persistence was admirable, but ultimately futile. I had installed surveillance at Graham’s house the moment I moved in, a precaution that now proved invaluable. The cameras had captured Flora’s visit to Olivia, and I had watched the footage with a mixture of amusement and irritation.Flora had been thorough, I had to give her that. She had tracked down the swimming coach I initially went to, learning about my fear of water. She had also managed to snap a photo of Logan and me, further fueling her suspicions. “Flora, always digging,” I mused. “You think you’re clever, but I’m always one step ahead.”I handed Olivia the empty glass, her eyes se

She loves me, not you,” he shouted, his voice shaking with anger. I was taken aback by his sudden appearance. I hadn’t anticipated this.“How could he find us here? Why now?” I thought, swallowing my emotions to keep my plan intact.Logan pulled away from me, his face hardening. He knew the plan, but his possessive, protective part couldn’t tolerate Graham’s audacity. “You’re delusional, Graham,” Logan retorted, stepping between us. “She doesn’t love you. She never did.”Graham’s fists clenched, his body trembling with rage. “You don’t know anything, Logan! Anne and I have a chemistry. We belong together.”I tried to interject, raising my hands to calm them both. “Graham, Logan, please. This isn’t helping anyone.”But Logan’s anger was palpable, his wolf simmering just below the surface. “Chemistry? You mean the chemistry where you always trail

Sitting around the kitchen table, I explained the next part of my plan to my parents. “I need you to take back the complaint against Graham,” I said, my voice steady but firm.My parents exchanged confused glances. My father was the first to speak, his brow furrowed in concern. “But Kylie, you were the one who asked Michael to capture Graham in the first place. Why are you asking us to withdraw the case now?”I took a deep breath, knowing I had to make them understand. “I wrote to Michael to capture Graham for a reason,” I began, looking directly into their eyes. “I needed to win over Graham’s family. They would never trust me as Anne, and since we’re competitors in business, they’d always be suspicious. By having Michael capture Graham, I’ve created an opportunity to gain their trust and make them my pawns.”My mother’s face softened with understanding, but there was still a flicker of wo

His expression was stern, his anger still palpable. Despite his frustration, he couldn't hide the concern in his eyes. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice gruff but tinged with worry.I nodded, trying to steady my voice. "Yeah... I'm just fine."He studied me for a moment, his eyes softening slightly. "You don't look fine, Kylie. Flora's getting out of control, it seems."I met his gaze, feeling a surge of gratitude despite our tension. "Thank you, Logan, for everything. I know you're still angry with me, but I appreciate you checking on me."Logan sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I am angry, Kylie. But I can't just stop caring ab

    Kylie’s POV.The confrontation with Logan lingered in my mind like a dark cloud. His words had cut deeper than I cared to admit. I had grown so attached to him that any confrontation, especially one so intense, hurt me more than I was willing to show.

I looked up to see Flora, now relegated to cleaning duty, hesitating at the threshold. She g

    Kylie’s POV.The video opened with a shaky handheld shot of Kylie, bruised and visibly terrified. She stumbled backward, her eyes wide with fear. Her lips trembled as she pleaded, “Please, don’t do this…” The camera captured her every movement, but the person holding it remained out of sight, their presence felt only through the sinister silence.The backdrop was a familiar dock, the ocean’s waves crashing ominously against the rocks. Kylie’s dress was torn, and she clutched at her side as if in pain. The desperation in her voice was palpable as she tried to reason with her unseen assailant. “How... How can you do this to me...”Before she could finish, a harsh push sent her sprawling into the icy water. The camera followed her descent, capturing the splash and her frantic struggle to stay afloat. The video cut off abruptly as she disappeared beneath the surface, leaving viewers with a haunting image of helplessness and terror.I posted the video across multiple social networks, kn

There was still so much more to do. As my car headed to the office, I saw Flora walking alone, looking like she was barely holding it together. Her clothes were tattered, her face pale and drawn, a far cry from the confident woman she used to be."Stop the car," I commanded the driver, my eyes never leaving Flora's pitiful figure. "Wait here."Stepping out, I approached her cautiously, keeping a safe distance to observe her unnoticed. She was muttering angrily to herself, her voice a mixture of despair and venom. "Anne… that bitch. She's the reason for all this. She should burn in hell. It's all her fault. I hope she rots."I couldn't suppress a smirk. Seeing her in such a state was more satisfying than I had imagined. I coughed a few times to grab her attention, and she turned around, startled, her eyes

We’ll be there as quickly as possible.”I know I’ll reach the warehouse before them, but waiting isn’t an option.
