Luca's POV The minutes ticked by, each one pulling me closer to a decision I knew I could never take back. My heart pounded as I sat there, gripping the edges of the armchair in Benedicta’s living room. I’d been over it all a hundred times in my head, weighing every word I might say, every possible outcome. But as the minutes passed, it became clear that thinking wasn’t going to get me anywhere. It was time to act.With a surge of determination, I finally stood up, grabbing my keys from the table. I didn’t know exactly what I’d say, or how I’d stop this wedding, but I knew I had to try. There was no way I could sit back and let Rose marry Finn. Not when I was ready to lay everything on the line for her.As I opened the door, the cool night air hit my face, and for a moment, it was like a shot of clarity. I could feel a path opening in front of me, even if it was narrow and uncertain. I was done waiting, done standing on the sidelines. I would fight for Rose with everything I had—even

Rose's POV I woke up feeling as though a weight had settled on my chest. The conversation with Luca from the night before replayed in my mind like a haunting melody, filling me with an ache I couldn’t shake. He’d asked me to call off the wedding and pleaded with me to see the future we could have together. And yet, I hadn’t been able to agree, the idea of humiliating Finn and unraveling everything I’d promised myself pushing back against everything Luca had said. I sighed, pushing away the lingering sadness as I dressed. My heart felt heavy, but I couldn’t let it show. Not today. Finn and his family expected me to play my role, to be the poised fiancée, and I couldn’t afford to slip. After fixing my hair and straightening my clothes, I took one last look in the mirror, steeling myself, and headed downstairs. When I entered the dining room, I saw that everyone else was already seated. Bianca sat to Finn’s left, her dark eyes narrowing as they landed on me. Next to her, Finn’s sist

Finn’s POVI walked into my office, eager for a moment of solitude to collect my thoughts. The events of the day were already enough to make my head spin—Rose’s suggestion to bring Bianca along to the event planner and the strange phone found by the gate. I needed a moment to sort it all out in my mind.But I’d barely had time to sit down when the door opened, and Bianca slipped inside, her eyes locked on me with a determined glint.“Bianca,” I said, exasperated, “I need to concentrate. I don’t have time for interruptions right now. Can you please leave?”But she didn’t seem the least bit interested in listening. Instead, she walked up to me, her expression softening as she drew closer. She placed one hand on my face, her fingers trailing along my cheek in a way that was both familiar and unsettling. I opened my mouth to protest, but before I could, she leaned in, her lips hovering dangerously close to mine.“Bianca,” I said, my tone more forceful this time, though I was beginning to

Finn’s POV“What do you mean her car got damaged?” I barked into the phone, my voice echoing down the hall. I gripped the phone tighter, barely able to keep my frustration in check. The man on the other end was stammering through his words, and every second I had to wait felt like another jab of irritation.“Sir… Rose’s car hit a pole,” he finally managed. “She’s fine, but, uh, she decided to leave in a taxi. She… instructed me to call and have one of the drivers come to pick up her car.”I gritted my teeth, feeling a rush of anger pulsed through me. “So she just left? Without letting anyone know what happened?”“Yes, sir,” he replied, his voice timid. “She, um, seemed in a hurry and said she’d take care of things herself.”I was about to say more, but a voice floated in from down the hall, and I turned to see Alina, my sister, standing there, her arms crossed with a smirk already spreading across her face. I ended the call abruptly, not wanting her to hear any more than she already h

Rose’s POVAfter Luca’s reassurances about the phone, I felt a weight lift, but my mind still buzzed with the uncertainty of everything unfolding around me. As Benedicta and I stood by the front door, waiting for my cab to arrive, I could see the worry in her eyes.She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Rose, are you certain you want to go back today?” Her tone was soft but probing. “It seems… complicated there. And with Bianca stirring things up, maybe you could use a little more time away.”I managed a small smile, appreciating her concern. “I know, Benedicta. But if I leave things hanging, Bianca will only get bolder. And Finn—he needs to hear the truth from me before he hears any more half-truths from her.”Benedicta sighed, pulling me into a hug. “Just be careful, all right?” She stepped back, her gaze serious. “I know you’re strong, but that doesn’t mean you need to do it all alone. Promise you’ll reach out if things get too difficult.”“I promise.” I gave her hand a reas

Bianca’s POVThe low hum of the afternoon lull drifted through the room as Jenny and I sat across from each other, an unspoken understanding thickening the air between us. The plan had taken shape in my mind, piece by piece, each detail carefully calculated. Rose had lingered in Finn’s life far too long, a thorn in my side and a threat to the future I deserved. If Rose was going to stand in my way, she needed to be removed—permanently.Jenny shifted in her seat, studying me with that sharp, almost predatory look I’d come to expect from her. She wasn’t the woman I used to know; there was something harder, colder in her gaze now. But then again, maybe that’s why she was perfect for this plan."So, what’s next?" she asked, a hint of impatience in her voice. "We’ve gone over the details, Bianca. We’ve done the groundwork. When do we make this happen?”A thin smile crept over my lips. "Soon, Jenny. Very soon. I’ve already put someone on this. I’m just waiting for an update."As if on cue,

Jenny’s POVBianca and I walked briskly through the car park, our heels clicking against the concrete in unison. The late afternoon sun was beginning to dip, casting long shadows across the parked cars. I glanced at Bianca, who wore a look of fierce determination. Her eyes were fixed ahead, her jaw set. This wasn’t the Bianca I had grown up with—she’d changed, grown harder and sharper. But then, so had I.We reached her car, a sleek black sedan that seemed fitting for the kind of conversations we’d been having lately. Without a word, she unlocked the doors, and we both slipped inside. Bianca’s hands were steady as she gripped the wheel and started the engine, her eyes flicking over to me as she shifted into gear.“You ready for this?” she asked, a slight edge to her voice.I met her gaze, giving her a small nod. “Of course. We’re in this together, remember?”A ghost of a smile crossed her lips before she pulled out of the parking space, her eyes focused straight ahead. We drove in sil

Rose’s POVI sat in the quiet of the room, the hum of the evening around me when the sudden ring of my phone broke the stillness. I glanced at the screen, and my heart skipped a beat—Luca.I answered immediately. “Luca?”“Rose,” his voice was low, serious, the usual warmth missing. “You need to be careful around Finn’s house. Things aren’t as they seem, and there’s more going on than you know. I’ll tell you everything when we see each other. But for now, watch yourself, especially around Bianca and Jenny.”I frowned, my grip tightening on the phone. “What’s going on, Luca? Why should I be worried about them?”“You’ll understand soon enough,” he said, his voice darkening. “Just… don’t trust anyone too easily.”Before I could ask more, the line clicked and the call ended abruptly, leaving me with an unsettling feeling. What had he meant? I wasn’t sure, but I trusted Luca, so I knew I needed to be cautious. Still, I couldn’t let his warnings consume me.I exhaled slowly, trying to shake

Luca's POVThe day had finally arrived. The day I had waited for, dreamed of and worked tirelessly to see come to fruition. My wedding day. As I stood at the altar in the grand cathedral, sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the marble floor. The air was heavy with the scent of roses and lavender, a symbol of unity for our clans.Guests from both sides filled the pews, their once-hostile gazes now softened by the promise of peace. Today wasn’t just about Rose and me—it was about forging a bond that would unite two warring clans into one.And then, the doors opened, and there she was.Rose. My bride. My queen.She walked down the aisle with a grace that stole my breath. Her gown was exquisite, flowing like liquid light, and her eyes were locked on mine. At that moment, the world narrowed to just the two of us.When she reached me, I took her hands in mine, unable to suppress the smile tugging at my lips. “You’re breathtaking,” I whi

Alina’s POVThe hall was silent, the air heavy with tension as I sat at the head of the long table, my eyes locked on Russell. He stood before us, restrained by the pack sentinels, his once-confident demeanor reduced to a pale, trembling shadow of the man he used to be. He had no more lies to spin, no more manipulations to hide behind.The elders murmured amongst themselves, their voices a low hum in the background. I kept my gaze fixed on Russell, my emotions a whirlwind of anger, regret, and determination. This was justice—not just for Finn, but for Rose, for the pack, and myself.“Russell,” I began, my voice steady and commanding, “your actions have brought nothing but pain and destruction to this pack. You murdered Finn, framed Rose, and deceived me at every turn. Your betrayal runs deep, and for that, you must face the consequences of your actions.”He opened his mouth, perhaps to beg for mercy or spin another excuse, but I raised a hand to silence him. I couldn’t hear another wo

Jenny's POVBianca and I stood just outside Alina’s office door, our ears straining for any hint of what was happening inside. The confrontation we’d witnessed through the small crack in the door had left us both on edge. Russell had tied Alina up and left her helpless, and now we were ready to stop him before he could cause more harm.The door suddenly swung open, and Russell emerged, his expression a mix of panic and determination. He froze for a split second upon seeing us, then scowled.“Where are you off to in such a rush?” I asked, stepping into his path.Bianca crossed her arms, blocking his escape in the other direction.“Out of my way,” Russell growled, his voice low and threatening. “I don’t have time for this.”“Funny,” Bianca said, her tone sharp. “You didn’t seem to have time for anything else when you were tying up Alina a few minutes ago.”Russell’s face darkened, and he took a step forward, clearly ready to force his way through. But before he could make a move, the pa

Luca's POVThe sound of tires crunching gravel outside brought a wave of relief over me. My guys were back, and I had no doubt they’d completed the task. I walked to the window, watching as they stepped out of the van, one of them holding a small, padded case. A sense of accomplishment filled me.I opened the door before they even knocked, motioning for them to come in. The leader of the group, Matteo, handed me the case. “It’s done,” he said simply, his tone firm but respectful.“Good,” I replied, opening the case to inspect the contents. There it was—the gun Russell had so desperately tried to keep hidden. Its weight in my hand felt like the weight of victory.Matteo leaned closer. “What’s next, boss?”I placed the gun carefully on the table and turned to face him and the others. “Now we wait. Russell doesn’t know we’ve got the real weapon. For now, I want you all to lay low. No sudden movements. If Russell catches even a whiff of what we’re up to, he’ll disappear, and we can’t affo

Alina’s POVThe weight of responsibility bore down on me as I walked to my wardrobe and selected a long, formal gown in a deep shade of red. It was the color of power, of justice of finality. Today marked the end for Rose. Today, she would face judgment for her crime.Once dressed, I tied my hair back in a sleek bun and slipped on a pair of black heels. My reflection in the mirror stared back at me, fierce and composed, but inside, I felt a twinge of uncertainty. Shaking it off, I grabbed my phone and left my chambers.The dungeon was damp, the cold air biting against my skin as I walked down the dimly lit corridors. Rose sat in the far corner of her cell, her face pale but defiant. She didn’t look like someone who was about to face her end.“Get up,” I ordered, unlocking the cell door. My voice was clipped and firm.Rose stood slowly, her movements deliberate, as if mocking my authority. “So, it’s today,” she said, her voice calm.I ignored her tone, grabbing her arm and pulling her

Russell's POVThe moon hung high in the sky as I led Luca through the winding path behind my property. The forest was eerily silent, save for the crunch of leaves under our feet. My heart pounded in my chest, but my face betrayed none of my inner turmoil. This was all part of the plan, and I wasn’t about to let Luca suspect a thing.After a few minutes, I stopped abruptly. “It’s here,” I said, pointing to a spot on the ground.Luca stood back, arms crossed, his piercing gaze fixed on me. I ignored him and picked up the shovel I’d brought along, plunging it into the earth. The damp soil gave way easily as I dug, my muscles straining with each movement. Minutes felt like hours as the hole grew deeper until finally, the edge of a metal box came into view.I pulled it out, brushing the dirt off the surface before unlocking it. Inside was a gun—clean, shiny, and deliberately placed. I held it up for Luca to see.“Here it is,” I said, my voice even.Luca’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer

Russell’s POVThe tension in the air was suffocating as I stormed into my room, slamming the door shut behind me. My mind was spinning, the weight of the picture Luca had sent me pressing heavily on my chest. How had things spiraled so far out of control? I didn’t know what Luca thought he was doing, but whatever it was, it wasn’t going to end well for him.I yanked open my closet, grabbed a crisp shirt, and threw it on, my movements sharp and deliberate. My hands trembled slightly, but I pushed the unease aside. I needed to focus. If Luca wanted to play games, I’d play. But I’d make sure he regretted it.Just as I fastened the last button on my shirt, there was a knock at the door. I froze for a second, letting out a frustrated sigh before opening it. Alina stood there, her arms crossed, her eyes narrowing at me.“And where are you heading off to in such a rush?” she asked, her voice carrying a note of suspicion.“I need to get out for a bit,” I said, keeping my tone neutral. “Clear

Benedicta’s POVI poured Merlin another glass of orange juice as he bit into his toast. His small hands fumbled to balance the slice, and I couldn’t help but smile. These quiet breakfasts with him had become my anchor amidst the storm that had engulfed our lives.“Mom’s taking too long to come back,” Merlin said, his voice tinged with the innocence of a child.I hesitated, setting my cup down. “She’ll be back soon,” I said softly, keeping my tone light. “She just had to travel for something important. But she’s coming back, Merlin. You’ll see her soon.”He nodded reluctantly, his little face pensive as he focused on his plate. Watching him like this made my chest tighten. He deserved none of this chaos, none of the lies or danger that had seeped into our home. I wanted so badly to protect him from all of it, but the secrets we kept were growing heavier by the day.Just as I reached for my coffee, the doorbell rang. My body stiffened instantly. Who could it be this early in the morning

Rose's POV The sound of the dungeon gate creaking open jolted me awake. My eyes snapped toward the iron bars, and I sat up on the cold, damp cot, my heart pounding. The rusted hinges screeched, echoing ominously in the silence of the room. A tall guard stepped in, followed by a maid clutching a tray of food.“Eat,” the maid said curtly, placing the tray on the ground with a loud thud. Her eyes were cold as they met mine. “You’ll need your strength for today. Lady Alina has plans for you.”My stomach twisted at her words, but I didn’t show it. I glared at her instead. “What plans?” I asked sharply.The maid smirked. “You’ll see soon enough,” she said. “After all, killers don’t deserve comfort.”“I didn’t kill anyone!” I shot back, the chains around my wrists clinking as I stood. My voice echoed in the small cell. “So, you better watch your mouth.”The maid laughed bitterly, her voice grating on my nerves. “Save your lies for someone who cares,” she said. “Everyone knows what you did.
