I turned away, not wanting him to see my blush. Early in the morning and he was already making me pleasantly embarrassed. “You should stop it now.”

“Stop what?” I peeked at him to see his head cocked to one side, an amused look in his eyes.

“Talking like that,” I murmured. “It's embarrassing.”

He smiled, and something inside me melted. “It's the truth, Audrey.”

“Not really. But I appreciate it.”

He sighed and tugged me closer so that my back was to his chest, placing his chin on top of my head. “I look at you, and you know what I see? A beautiful, strong, persevering woman. I see resilience. You've been through a lot, but here you are, thriving.”

“I’m jobless,” I pointed out and winced when he pinched my waist. “Hey!”

“You thriving doesn't necessarily mean money-wise. Your cheeks are rosy, and your eyes are brighter now. You're thriving healthwise. And if you think that's not enough-” his hand brushed my center. “Well, you definitely thrived in bed last night.”

    If my hunch was right, then the criminal had kidnapped these people for them, possibly to use them as testers for the poison or some other nefarious act. “We’ve gotten feedback from the spies,” Julian said, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk. “They say they haven't found anything incriminating yet, but there have been talks of a very special visit. They're trying to gather more information, but most of their colleagues seem ignorant, too, so they’re going to have to spy on the leaders.”I nodded. “Alright then. That's good. We're making progress. But what about the investigation?”Jacob looked grim. “There's been no trace yet. We're meeting dead ends here and there, but we'll keep searching.”I rubbed my temple. “Luna help us.” “We might need backup.” I looked at my beta. “And who do you suggest?”He was silent for a moment before mentioning his option. As soon as he did, my face darkened. “Fuck no.” Jacob's eyes darted between us in confusion. “What? Who's that?” “Marvin i

    “What?”“Let's just say,” he began, placing his hands on my shoulders and guiding me towards an empty reading table. “That I'm now a direct relative of your Alpha rather than a distant one.”My brow wrinkled at that, knowing he was referring to Roman. “You're related to Alpha Roman?”He nodded, pulling a chair out for me. “He's my stepbrother.” My eyes snapped to him. “What? Are you serious?"He gave me a confused look before chuckling again. At that moment, I realized that even his laugh sounded more sophisticated than before. And his previous laughter was incredibly sophisticated, so that was saying something.“How can it's not possible. You two…you two don't even look alike!” I stuttered. He sat beside me and smiled. “Well, that's because I took my mother's face. If you really focus, you might see a similarity between our noses.”I didn't see it. “But…I never met him when we were together!”“Well,” he shrugged. “That was because we were about three years older. You weren't in our

    But now…Roman had helped me forget my stepmother for a while. It felt foreign to hear her being mentioned in a conversation like this.Still, I knew Marvin meant no harm, and I shook my head, a smile slipping onto my face. “Actually, no. My mate assigned him to me.”An odd expression crossed his face when he heard what I said. “Your mate, you say?”I nodded, Roman's smiling face in my mind's eye.“Well, I'll be,” he muttered to himself before turning to me and plastering another smile on his face. “You didn't mention you had a mate, babe.” “I'm twenty-four, Marve,” I responded with a small laugh. “Isn't that more than enough time for me to find my mate?”His response was to purse his lips and look ahead, leaving me confused. The next moment, we were in front of the door, and he promptly knocked on the door. A guard opened it, and Marvin took me down the hallway, only to stop abruptly when Julian appeared, walking towards us, then stopped when he recognized us and raised a brow.“So i

    “Stop this,” she protested, trying to push him away. “Marvin, stop this please!”“Oh, fine,” he sighed and released her. She immediately stepped away from him, looking both relieved and horrified at the same time. But he wasn't looking at her anymore; his eyes were focused on me. “Come on, Roman. It was just a harmless joke. Loosen up a little, huh?” “You call holding my mate captive in your arms a harmless joke?” I snarled. “How dare you?” “Oh, come on, darling brother,” he replied. “Surely you wouldn't flare up over a simple prank. Audrey played one on me too just now, acting like she didn't know you. Yet, here I am, still in high spirits.”My gaze swiveled over to the woman mentioned, whose eyes held guilt, before returning to the object of my hatred. “What are you talking about?” “Well, if you must know, Audrey and I go way back,” he said, a stupid grin appearing on his face. “We used to date when we were in high school, but lost touch over the years.”Hold on a damn minute.

    Tanya POV: (Audrey's Stepsister)“Oh, darling. Your hair's a mess!” My mother cried when I walked into the dining area. She was dressed to kill, and I had no doubt that she planned to meet someone important. “I'm a mess, Mother,” was my retort as I opened the fridge to pull out the milk carton. “Good morning to you too, by the way.”“You are not a mess,” she chided, taking a bite of her toast. “And you definitely shouldn't feel that way because of a boy.”I paused, feeling the urge to defend my ex-fiancé’s honor. “Roman is not a boy, Mother. He’s in his early thirties, for Luna's sake.”“He's an immature pig-headed man then,” she scowled, adding another strip of bacon to her food. “Any man who doesn't see my daughter for her true worth should be ashamed of his existence-” “Audrey's the problem, not Roman,” I snapped, surprising her with my outburst. “She stole him from me, Mother. He's probably been charmed by her!” My mother's brows furrowed at my last statement. “Charmed?” “Yes!

    Panic filled me in that moment, and I made to run away, but the man blocked my way. “Leaving so soon?”“Get out of the way!” I hissed, trying to escape again and being blocked once again. “What the hell is your problem?!”“I'll let you go on one condition,” he said, the cocky look on his face not fading away. “Give me your number.”“Have you gone mad?!” I whisper-yelled.He grinned. “For you, darling? Yes.” He definitely wasn't getting my number! I was about to yell bloody murder when I heard a shuffle from the other room. “I'll check,” I heard the deep voice say. Frantic, I searched for a way out, then my eyes settled on the keycard the man held. The door attached to that number was just beside us.The man was still grinning like he expected me to accept his offer.“Fuck you,” I cried, snatching the key from him and running to the door, before opening and racing in. It took a few minutes, but as soon as I heard another door open and close, I heaved a sigh.“Well,” an amused voice

    “Let me go,” I said, feeling a bit weak in the knees. He didn't answer, merely staring down at me, as though assessing me.“You're all bark and no bite,” he finally remarked, making no attempt to move. I got annoyed. “How dare you-” “Look at yourself, Tanya.” He scoffed. “You're so pitiful. The diamond of the Hill family was found crouching outside a hotel door, listening in on her mother's conversation. Isn't that concerning?”I gritted my teeth, shame and indignation rushing into my veins at the same time. “You can't tell me what or who I am, you bastard.” “Oh?” he blinked. “But Audrey and the whole town can do that? Because she's definitely making rounds with your ex right now, and I assure you, many people are supportive of their relationship. You, on the other hand, have been tossed aside.”“Shut up.”“Imagine this. You crying and bingeing a chick flick series, while Audrey moans and writhes under Roman, his dick filling her multiple times.”“Shut up.” But the imagery began t

    And thus began our time of adventure. Jacob was full of jokes, and we kept laughing everywhere we went. At the fountain I'd wished for the goddess’ help to navigate my way through life. We finally arrived at the restaurant he'd been raving about, and had not been kidding. Their vanilla-flavored yoghurt was one to die for! “Ugh,” I groaned when I'd ordered a second plate. “This is divine!”“Right?” he replied, smiling, but there was something odd about his smile, like he was hiding something from me. I didn't allow that thought to linger, however. “I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Audrey.” “Thank you for bringing me here!” I said, beaming through my icecream induced haze. When we'd finished at the restaurant (he'd convinced me to eat proper food), the clock read seven thirty. We hugged and I said goodbye, but he insisted on walking me home though Paul was there, with his eyes that seemed to have bored into my back from the beginning to the end of our meeting. As we strolled to t

    Audrey POV:I raced through the woods, my heart pounding in fear. I'd shifted in the course of my escape, and my senses were terribly heightened now. It was as though I was one with the woods. Every scent, every twig crack, every noise…I could perceive them all. I could especially perceive the wolves that were currently bounding after me. The sound of their snarls echoed in the woods behind me, causing stabs of fear to run through my heart. I almost couldn’t breathe.The cold air slashed through my lungs as I ran, my paws slamming against the damp earth, scattering leaves and dirt in every direction. My heart thundered in my chest, a deafening rhythm that drowned out everything- save for the snarls behind me. They were getting closer to me, each one louder and more closer than the last. The forest around me blurred, a dizzying smear of bark, shadow, and moonlight. Twigs snapped under my foot, branches tore through my fur.Somewhere, somehow, in the middle of my desperate run for s

    Roman POV:The air that left my lungs at her statement slowly returned, but that still didn't stop the shock from flowing off me in waves. “What-” I paused at my choked voice, coughed, then started again. “What do you mean by that?”She gave me a sad look. “Roman, if I can't find Audrey right now, then it means she's in danger. Whether it is that she's unconscious- for someone could have knocked her out- or that she's…well…”“She's not dead.”No. It couldn't happen. She'd only just walked into my life. I couldn't lose her just like that. Audrey was a light, a beacon of hope that I could find love, even in this bleak world where I was surrounded by so much hate and betrayal. Mother shook her head. “Obviously, I don't wish for her to be. She's such a sweetheart. What I'm trying to say is-” “Audrey's not dead!” I snarled despite myself. She bit her lower lip and turned away. “No, Mother. She cannot be dead. For crying out loud, it hasn't even been up to a year since she stepped into m

    Roman POV:“You did quite well,” Julian said to me while I watched Jacob supervise the cleaning of the conference room. It'd been about fifteen minutes since the meeting ended, and a part of me had reveled in the fear the elders had in their eyes whenever they crossed the body of their dead comrade. “You really didn't have to kill anyone though.”“They are infuriating,” I said emotionlessly as the cleaners began their job. “It was high time they learned that I wasn't just the old Alpha's son. I am the Alpha.” My best friend gave me a look. “I hope that doesn't mean you plan to resort to the harsh ways of your father.”“Never,” I grunted. “But I'll have to place some respect in these elders’ hearts. They need to be reminded of their position before me.” My Beta merely passed a breath through his mouth. “If you say so, Roman. I just really hope you're not using your anger with your mate's disappearance to cloud your greater sense of judgment.” “Audrey's disappearance has nothing to

    Audrey POV:I gawked as Sam opened a portal the moment I accepted his hand. He grinned at me while the magic door pulsated with energy, and placed a leg into it. “Come on, young lady.”I hesitated, suddenly feeling very unsure and stupid. The moment he extended his hand, I'd snatched it without thinking. As soon as he opened the portal, it hit me. Just who exactly was I about to follow through a portal that only he knew that location it led to? Sure, he'd claimed to have known my father, but almost everyone knew my father then. Not only did I not know his true intentions, but he'd been part of the men that watched my humiliation. He cocked his head to the side when he saw my hesitation. “What's the matter?” “I don't know you. You might want to kill me,” I blurted, turning red when he began to laugh. “That's what you’re bothered about, darling?” he chuckled. “I just saved you from getting raped and potentially mauled by that piece of scum.” He stepped forward. “You really think you

    Roman POV:“This is preposterous!” I glared at the elder who'd just spoken, and he wisely kept his mouth shut immediately. Lucky for him. I would have slit his throat if he made one more sound. I wasn't supposed to be here. I was supposed to be out saving Audrey. I was supposed to have gotten her into my arms, and rescued her from whatever hellhole Edward Kim had put her in. “I apologize for speaking out of turn, Alpha,” the elder who'd just interrupted my speech said, fear shining in his eyes. “I was just…I'm laden with emotion at how much torment this pack has fallen into.”I schooled my features into blankness. “Thank you so much for your concern, Logan, but you haven't even been around to know how much torment we are in right now.” He reddened and turned away, knowing what I'd said was true. Just like Diane Hill, he'd disappeared for a while, but he'd returned a bit earlier than she had. A nasty thought about him dying just like Kennedy and Hill crossed my mind, but i waved it

    Audrey POV:I was returned to the dark room when the men had had enough of me. The visiting Brothers were not returning to their homes, so I was to be a spectacle for them again the following day. In the meantime, Derek wanted me to ‘rest’, which essentially meant he didn't want me to die yet. Normally I would have willingly killed myself to escape his torture, but I had people’s lives tied to mine. I had no idea what Edward Kim would do if I committed suicide. That would be against the deal we made, right? So I kept quiet and let Derek do whatever he wanted till he finally ended my life. My body was bruised all over again from the beatings Derek had given me, and every time I laid against the cold wall or put too much pressure on the side of my body that rested on the hard ground, I cried out in pain. I wanted to curl into a ball and cry, but I knew the would cause unimaginable agony. And Derek's words at the beginning about him wanting to hear me cry out in pain haunted me, so I f

    Audrey POV:“I still don't know what exactly to do for her sendforth into the great beyond,” my holding master laughed as I coughed out blood, feeling the life slowly draining out of me. I'd been presented on a makeshift stage before some of the ‘Brothers’ that Derek had invited to watch my torture spectacle. They were surrounded by lots of food, and they chuckled at Derek's jokes while I writhed in pain. “Perhaps you should save her the torment of a prolonged death,” one of them said. “Just one swipe across her throat and you'll be done with it.”Derek seemed to consider the idea. “The issue now is, I don't want to do that. I don't want to be done with it so easily. She's still alive. Her eyes haven't lost their spark.” He bared his teeth playfully at me. “I need that spark to disappear first. Then I'll kill her.” Fear gripped me, and if my wrists weren't bound and my body hurting, I'd have attempted to slide away. “Any news from Kim?” another of the Brothers asked, spearing a pi

    Tanya POV:“You did good,” Marvin said, placing a hand on my shoulder. “They didn't suspect a thing. I'm proud of you.” I didn't say a word, merely staring ahead, like I expected my mother to appear before me. The moment I heard the explosion, I'd sunk to my knees, crying out loud. Marvin had immediately gagged me again and held me close, being both good and evil at the same time. I'd leaned against him, too tired to decide what was right or fair and what wasn't. The following morning, I woke up cuffed to a chair, and he laid beside me, his eyes closed. However, the moment I shuffled, his eyes opened wide, and his gaze bored into mine. It was then I knew I wasn't going anywhere, no matter what he did to me. Not because I was afraid of him, but because I’d given myself to him. Mind, body and soul. For better, for worse, right? “Jacob is coming soon, so you'd better dress up.” His hand pressed on my shoulder. “And look very presentable.”I gave an almost imperceptible nod. Jacob had

    Roman POV:“Hold on,” Julian said while I absentmindedly kicked a small rock along the road. “Your mother is…Ruby? Ruby is your mother? I don't understand.” It'd confused me too, but after I returned to my room, I found Ruby staring wide eyed at me. It hit me that she probably wasn't completely aware of what was happening with her. We were on our way to Marvin's apartment to pay a courtesy visit to Tanya regarding the destruction of the Hill residence. According to Julian, Diane Hill's body had still not been found, but the probability of her being burnt to ashes was much higher than the probability of her crawling out of the inferno. I didn't like the woman at all, but that didn't completely mean I wanted her gone. She was Tanya's backbone, from what I noticed when we together, and finding out about her mother's death must have been very hard for her. That's why I asked Julian to accompany me. “It really doesn't make any sense,” Julian was mumbling. “Did your mother go back in ti
