The conference room turned thick with tension as people were afraid Ainsley would make a comeback. If so, they would suffer.

Ainsley sat still, the usual fire in his gaze dulled. No color touched his cheeks; he looked neither angry nor defeated.

โ€œAinsley,โ€ one of the shareholders snapped, almost too quickly. โ€œItโ€™s done. Step down from your position. Youโ€™re no longer CEO of the Williams Group.โ€

Another chimed in, his voice tremulous but thrilled, โ€œYes. You heard the board, get the hell out of the building.โ€

Chairs scraped, papers rustled. Tension rolled like a wave about to crash.

But then, a voice rang out, cutting clean through the noise. It was steady, almost too steady.

โ€œWho said the final vote had been cast, or have I suddenly been removed from the shareholders? Because the last time I checked I happened to be one of the shareholders.โ€

The room fell into a shocked hush, peopleโ€™s heads snapped toward the source. Gasps rippled across the boardroom. Faces turned pale.

He glanced at Ellison, who looked back at him curiously.โ€œYou donโ€™t mind, do you?โ€ Ainsley asked, already picking up the phone before Ellison could even respond.

    Eloise'sโ€œShe's all yours now. Do whatever you want with her.โ€I curled up on the floor, listening as the man in front of me, Alex, the Beta of the Litha Night Walker Pack gave his final orders to the Scamp."Youโ€™ll experience the same pain and humiliations my lovely sister Aura experienced," he said, looking at me with a dark intensity, his tone tinged with a hint of bloodthirsty emotion.โ€œAura, my little sister, was a sweet girl. She's never been to a pub or entered the Scamp Forest alone. But now she was found ra*ed and murdered there. Your mate, Alpha Ainsley, and I went through Aura's phone, and we found out that right before the accident, you called her. The last message on her phone was to you. Where were you, Eloise?โ€ As Alex stared at me, his eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent.โ€œAlex, I am in need of your attention. I am not responsible for the death of Aura. I have an important message to convey to Alpha Ainsley. Please listen to me.โ€ I pleaded and he looked at

    Eloise's POVโ€œIt should have been you.โ€My body trembles uncontrollably, and a sharp pain shoots through my chest. Ainsley turned around, revealing a cold smile. His rigid face looked indifferent and cruel. He hates me because everyone thinks I killed Aura. I staggered to my feet, trembling inside. My legs were numb, so I fell back to the ground. Ainsley's ice-cold voice echoed in my ears once again.โ€œIn the name of the MoonGoddess......" I raised my head, staring at the man in disbelief knowing what he was about to do. He must have hate me so much. โ€œAinsley! No... You can't reject me. You don't know how much I love you! Please, let me explain... Please...โ€ He paid no heed to my pleas, simply continuing in his low, chilling voice.โ€œEloise Anthony, I Ainsley Williams the Alpha of the Litha Night Walker pack, reject you as my mate. From this moment onward I sever the moon goddess fate and bond between us. You are hereby denied the opportunity of being my mate.โ€ Immediately, a wrenching

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection ย ย ย Lost Identity!

    The Eloise the world once knew no longer existed.Curled into the corner of the damp prison cell, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees, Eloise stared at nothing. He did it... He really did it. I donโ€™t exist anymore. Her chest tightened. Not from the cold, but from something far worse. Emptiness.Who am I now? she thought. A ghost... a forgotten girl rotting in a cell like trash.The metallic clang of heavy boots echoed in the corridor the next morning. Then, suddenly a harsh shove knocked her over.โ€œHey! Wake up, rat! Go clean the damn bathroom!โ€ a rough voice barked.A scream followed. โ€œSheโ€™s..... sheโ€™s dead!โ€Someone else scurried over, kneeling beside Eloiseโ€™s still form.โ€œShut up!โ€ snapped another voice. โ€œSheโ€™s breathing. Look, barely. But sheโ€™s alive.โ€A guard was called. The door slammed open. But nobody comforted her. No one touched her gently. Why would they? She wasnโ€™t Eloise anymore. She was just an inmate. Just a criminal.---Three years laterโ€ฆThe streets felt foreign

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection ย ย ย Could this be Fate?

    Eloise did her best to avoid making eye contact but she failed.Her gaze flickered toward him, helplessly, involuntarily. The moment their eyes met, regret surged through her chest like a punch.His golden eyes locked onto hers like a predator snaring prey. He didnโ€™t blink. Didnโ€™t smile. He just stared, too amused, too aware. His lips curled into a slow, knowing smirk. Then, still staring straight at her, he kissed the woman in his arms, deeper this time. Hungrier. Wetter. It wasnโ€™t a kiss; it was a spectacle.It was deliberate.The woman moaned softly against his mouth, her long fingers tangling in his dark hair. She arched into him, loving the attention. Eloise knew her name Amelia Javis. One of the Scarlet Heart's top escorts. Tall, statuesque, with legs that went on forever, and a face so sculpted it looked unreal. She oozed sex and poison in equal measure. Her beauty was the sharp, cold kind, the kind that didnโ€™t warm when she smiled. Because she never smiled. She smirked. She own

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection ย ย ย Meet Again!

    Eloise stepped into the dimly lit room, her heartbeat quickening the moment the door clicked shut behind her. The air felt thick, almost suffocating, and the hairs on the back of her neck prickled with unease. She hesitated for just a moment, taking in the scene before her.A handful of guests lounged casually on the sofas, their eyes glazed with boredom, while several escort girls flitted about, their fake smiles barely hiding the tension in the air. But it wasnโ€™t the guests that held her attention, it was Mavis.Mavis stood in the center of the room, her body stiff, her face twisted in quiet desperation. As soon as their eyes met, the younger girlโ€™s lips parted, and she took a shaky step forward.โ€œEloise, help me!โ€ she cried out, her voice breaking through the thick silence of the room.Eloiseโ€™s heart lurched at the sound of Mavisโ€™s plea.The moment Mavis spoke, the entire room seemed to shift. The guests she had learned to fear in silence turned their eyes toward Eloise, scrutinizin

    Eloiseโ€™s breath hitched in her throat as she slowly raised her head, her gaze locking with the man sitting across from her. The weight of his words lingered in the air like a suffocating fog, thick with venom and malice.โ€œHow could I ask her to kiss another man?โ€ Ainsleyโ€™s voice was low and deceptively calm, but there was a cruel edge behind every syllable. It sliced through her like a knife. Her heart stuttered painfully as she tried to comprehend the reality of what he had just said.Ainsley. Her fated mate. The man she had once loved more than life itself. The same man who had cast her aside without remorse.Now, after all these years, fate had dragged them back together, not in loveโ€™s embrace, but in a brutal power struggle. Love was long gone. What remained was raw pain, betrayal, and the scorched remnants of a bond that had been burned beyond recognition.How could he ask me to do this?Eloiseโ€™s stomach twisted, bile rising in her throat. The room seemed to shrink, the air too he

    Lucian stood at the entrance of the hotel room, his eyes moving between Ainsley and the woman standing behind him.Both led powerful packs in Metrocity, and as rivals? Yes, but there was an unspoken bond between them as well. They were enemies, and yet, at times, they were also reluctant allies.His gaze shifted to Eloise, standing stiffly behind Ainsley. To his surprise, her ears were bright red, a clear sign of embarrassment.So, itโ€™s her first kiss, Lucian thought with a sly grin. Interesting.โ€œHey,โ€ Lucian teased, breaking the silence, โ€œwas that your first kiss?โ€Eloiseโ€™s face flushed a deeper shade of crimson. She didnโ€™t answer, but her downcast eyes and the way she nervously shifted her feet were enough to confirm his guess.Lucian couldnโ€™t help but smile, feeling a small, satisfied thrill. There was something amusing about catching her in such an awkward moment, but before he could continue his teasing, he turned his attention back to Ainsley.Ainsleyโ€™s cold gaze lingered on Luc

    Eloiseโ€™s brow twitched slightly. Her calm gaze faltered for a second.Jacob caught it. That tiny flicker of emotion sent a surge of rage through him. He threw the apple aside.โ€œArenโ€™t you worried? "Donโ€™t you care what couldโ€™ve happened to him?โ€ he snapped, his eyes burning into her face.Eloise turned her head away. โ€œI didnโ€™t ask him to.โ€Jacob stood. His voice was firm, serious. โ€œNo, you didnโ€™t. But maybe you shouldโ€™ve. You could hate him, you could curse his name. But donโ€™t act like you donโ€™t care. Because when you collapse, your body answers what your mouth refuses to say. The only treatment you responded to was his touch.โ€She clenched her jaw. โ€œHe locked me in that place. I donโ€™t care how long he sat by my bed.โ€Jacob stared at her. โ€œThen tell him that. Not to me. "You keep telling everyone you donโ€™t care, but your hands were shaking when he touched you.โ€She didnโ€™t answer.โ€œDuring the years you were gone, Ainsley searched for you like a possessed man,โ€ he added, his voice sharp

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection ย ย ย Ice-cold!

    The car reeked of blood. It was the only smell Ainsley could register; thick, metallic, and heavy in his nose and mouth. He stirred with a low groan, his body aching as if it had been crushed from the inside out. Pain throbbed behind his bandaged head, spreading like wildfire through his skull and down his spine.He tried to move.โ€œDonโ€™t move,โ€ Jacob snapped from the front seat, spinning around. His voice cut through the air like a blade. โ€œYou scared the hell out of me, Ainsley. What the fuck were you thinking?โ€Ainsley winced. His hand reached for the door handle, but it slipped off weakly. His head dropped back, the world spinning.โ€œI passed out again, didnโ€™t I?โ€ he muttered.Jacobโ€™s hands clenched the steering wheel, so tightly his knuckles turned white. โ€œYou did more than that. You nearly fucking died. You collapsed in front of a hundred people like your damn soul left your body.โ€He turned fully to face him, his eyes blazing like fire. โ€œDo you understand what that looked like? Yo

    Suddenly, Ellison stood up and pushed Ainsley hard. He said, โ€œLet her go. Youโ€™re so selfish! Didnโ€™t you hear her? Eloise has no intention of going with you!โ€Ainsley, caught off guard, stumbled backward. His usually fierce and commanding presence, like a true Alpha, was broken at an unexpected moment. He collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.Gasps echoed through the crowd, the peopleโ€™s eyes widened in shock. Even the air seemed to stand still.Jacobโ€™s face darkened. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and knelt beside Ainsley. โ€œAinsley, are you okay?โ€ His voice cracked with concern as he reached to cradle his head. But his palm came out wet. Jacob looked down and froze. His fingers were stained red.โ€œWhat is this?โ€ he whispered, stunned.Blood!A sharp silence followed. Ellison, noticing the shift, stepped forward instinctively, but Hank had already rushed past him, panic flashing in his eyes. โ€œAlpha Ainsley?โ€Eloiseโ€™s eyes widened. Her body stiffened, and for a moment, she see

    Ellison stood frozen on the stairs, halfway down, his hands clenched tightly on the railing. Heโ€™d come down to stop Ainsley, to intervene, but when he saw the fire in Eloiseโ€™s eyes, the way she held herself back from launching another object, he couldn't move. Not yet.Ainsleyโ€™s cold voice echoed through the tension-filled room. โ€œWhat else do you want to throw at me? Iโ€™ll get it for you.โ€Ellison stepped forward, breaking the thick silence. โ€œNo need to bother you, Ainsley. Iโ€™m free right now, and Iโ€™ll help her.โ€Hank took a step, ready to intervene, but Kelly subtly blocked him with a glance.As Ellison reached the floor, he picked up a broom lying nearby. The scrape of the handle against the tiled floor felt too loud in the quiet. He offered it to her with a calm face, but sarcasm glinted in his eyes.โ€œMaโ€™am, here you go.โ€Eloise looked at the broom, then at him, her brows furrowed in confusion. โ€œA broom?โ€He nodded once, the corner of his lips lifting in a crooked smile.โ€œMa'am, flu

    Lucian, unfazed, threw his jacket to the ground in front of Ainsley. โ€œFine. Letโ€™s see what happens,โ€ he said before he turned and left.Ainsley stayed where he was, watching Lucianโ€™s departure with steely eyes. The tension still hung in the air, thick and unresolved.โ€œWeโ€™re going to Waikiki Beach this afternoon,โ€ Ainsley said after a long pause. โ€œIโ€™m sure sheโ€™s there. I need to find her.โ€Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Eloise paced restlessly in her room, her nerves fraying with each passing moment. Her thoughts spiraled. She had been hiding, but it was all falling apart now. Ainsley was coming for her.No, she told herself. I canโ€™t let him find me. Not again.Then, just as the wind picked up, a familiar warmth brushed against her.Her body stiffened, her breath caught in her throat. She didnโ€™t have to turn to know he was there. The scent of him, so unmistakable, overwhelmed her senses.Ainsley stood behind her, his presence enveloping her. His arms wrapped around her alm

    In the car, Ainsley gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white as he sped toward the airport. His mind was spinning. Without thinking, he reached out to Jacob through their mind link. His voice was sharp, his words clipped with urgency.โ€œDo you know Remmy?โ€ Ainsley asked, his tone barely contained as anxiety surged through him.Jacobโ€™s voice crackled through the link, his confusion evident. โ€œWhy are you looking for her?โ€ He didnโ€™t fully understand the gravity of the situation.Ainsleyโ€™s voice hardened, desperation creeping into his words. โ€œShe knows where Eloise is.โ€Jacob didnโ€™t hesitate. โ€œUnderstood,โ€ he said, his voice steady despite the tense situation. โ€œIโ€™ll handle it. Do you need me to book you a flight?โ€โ€œNo need,โ€ Ainsley replied immediately, his tone resolute. โ€œIโ€™m heading to the airport now.โ€As Ainsley disconnected the link, he pushed the accelerator harder, the engine roaring as he raced back home to grab his ID.

Heโ€™d made a decision. Instead of leaving, he wanted to win the bet. More than that, he wanted her.Memories flooded Eloiseโ€™s mind, sharp and vivid. In her eyes, Ellison at that moment seemed just like her in the past, lost, defiant, and broken.But Ellison didnโ€™t deserve it! Not after everything.She walked toward the center of the stage, her steps deliberate, her heart pounding with emotion. She bent down and picked up the white shirt from the floor. Her fingers brushed against the fabric, and then she reached for Ellisonโ€™s hand, which rested on the zipper of his suit pants. Her voice was low but commanding, โ€œCome with me.โ€Ellison stood frozen, stunned by the sudden seriousness of her expression. His heart skipped a beat.The audience below the stage began to murmur, their annoyance growing louder. โ€œWho are
