Carina’s POV

I think I was getting drunk. I was trying my best to forget my sorrows and just drink to the point of oblivion. But guess what? It wasn’t working. The more the liquor burned its way down my throat, the sharper my thoughts became. My heart weighed heavily, my chest tight with the ache I had been carrying for weeks. I felt dizzy, but I kept my cool, trying to stay sane amidst the swirl of emotions and alcohol.

And that’s when I noticed the cut on Rodrigo’s arm.

“You’re cut, Rodrigo,” I said, my voice steadier than I expected.

Rodrigo froze, glancing down at his arm. His dark shirt had a tear near the sleeve, and beneath it, a shallow but nasty-looking gash ran across his forearm.

“It’s nothing,” he said dismissively, reaching for his drink as if that would end the conversation.

“Nothing?” I echoed, setting my glass down a little too forcefully. “You’re bleeding. That’s not nothing.”

Antonio’s voice came from across the room, calm but firm. “It’s taken care of, Carina. Don’t

    Carina’s POVI woke up to a strange, heavy feeling in my chest. My body felt weak, as though I had run a marathon while my mind remained stuck in a foggy haze. The memory of last night came rushing back in fragmented flashes—laughter, whispered words, and kisses. My cheeks flushed as I tried to piece it all together.When I opened my eyes, the sunlight pouring through the window hit me like a spotlight. And there they were—Rodrigo, Antonio, and Miguel—still asleep, sprawled out around me. Completely unclad.“Damn,” I whispered, shaking my head, a small smile tugging at my lips. The events of the previous night were unlike anything I could have imagined. It was reckless, messy, and completely out of control. But the strangest part? I didn’t regret it. Not a single second.I scanned the room, searching for my clothes. My dress was draped over the back of a chair, my shoes somewhere near the door. I pulled the sheets around myself as I slid out of bed, careful not to wake them.“Damn,” I

    Carina’s POVWe pulled up to the mansion, the gates opening with a soft creak. My mum and stepdad stood outside, their worried faces a stark contrast to the confident smirk on Rodrigo's face."Why are they like this?" Rodrigo asked, his eyes scanning the pair standing outside. "Do they think we couldn't really handle ourselves?"Miguel chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Yeah, they probably think we're still in school, right?"I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, Miguel. This isn't funny."Antonio grinned. "Come on, Carina. Lighten up. Your mum just wants to make sure you're okay."I shot him a glare. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one who got attacked on the way out of town."My mum rushed over to me, her eyes scanning my face. "Carina, darling, are you okay? We were so worried sick when we heard—"I cut her off, a snarl rising to my lips. "Oh, spare me the theatrics, Mum. I'm fine. Just peachy."Rodrigo and his brothers exchanged a look, their faces still smirking. "Yeah, Mum,

    Carina’s POVAs I settled into the plush comfort of the living room sofa, my mind still tangled in the chaos of everything that had happened, my phone rang. Seeing Ethan's name flash on the screen made my pulse quicken. Thank God. “Sorry, y'all, give me a minute,” I said, shooting a quick glance at my stepbrothers and mum. They were still chatting about nothing important. I excused myself and rushed upstairs, closing the door behind me.“Ethan!” I answered, relief flooding my voice.“Carina!” His voice crackled through the line, warm and familiar. “Sorry I missed your call. I was at work and left my phone at home.”“How are the kids?” I asked, my heart pounding. The worry I'd been holding back spilled over. “Are they okay? Please tell me they’re alright.”“They're fine, I promise,” he said. “Liam and Leo are playing together, making a mess of my place, actually.”A chuckle slipped out despite my anxiety. “You always did have a way with kids, Ethan.”“Yeah, well, it’s all chaos and cr

    Carina’s POVAs I took a deep breath, still feeling the weight of the earlier conversation, my mum’s voice broke the tension in the room. “Carina, sweetheart, can we talk about why you’re hesitating? I really just want to meet Liam and Leo. It’s been too long.”I shifted uncomfortably on the sofa, glancing at my stepbrothers. “Mum, it’s complicated.”“Complicated how?” she pressed, her eyes searching mine. “I didn’t think I needed to explain myself again. I thought we could move past the past.”“Move past it?” I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “You don’t get it, do you? You say that like it’s just a simple matter. You weren’t there when I needed you, Mum!”“I was trying to protect you!” she shot back, her voice rising slightly. “Do you honestly believe I wanted to push you away?”“Protect me? You didn’t even listen to what I had to say back then! I felt like a ghost in my own home!” I said, my heart racing. “How can I trust you with my kids when you shut me out for so long?”

I will make sure this doesn’t happen again.”I nodded, unable to muster anything more enthusiastic. “That’s really thoughtful of you, but honestly… I just came back to honor my mum’s request. I don’t belong here anymore.”“Don’t say that,” Mr. Kowalski replied, stepping closer. “This is your home. Why would you want to leave?”“Because I need to,” I said, my voice steady and calm. “I have made up my mind. This place is not mine anymore.”He frowned slightly, clearly not understanding. “Is it because of your company in the other city?” “No, that’s not it,” I said. “I’ve built a life there since I ran away. I love it there. I want to stay there.”Mum stepped forward, looking between us. “Carina, please. We want you to stay. We can work things out together. You and the boys have a family here.”I took a deep breath, pushing back the frustration. “No, Mum. You do

    Carina’s POVI entered my room and sat down on the bed, my hands shaking as I attempted to gather my thoughts. I was trying to get organized. In all honesty, I had no idea why all of this was taking place. My life had been great, or at least as near to perfect as I could make it, until just a few days ago. I had a secure career, a small family of my own whom I really adored, and I was at peace. And what about now? It was all because I had come to attend my mother's party that everything began to spin out of control.My chest tightened as I stared at the wardrobe that was hanging on the wall, and memories began to come back to me. That closet was more than simply a piece of furniture. It was a representation of the grief and loneliness that I had been harbouring for many years. I could still hear Mum’s voice, icy and piercing, as she shut me inside for hours. She had termed it punishment. I had termed it torture. “Funny how life works,” I mumbled sadly. “One day, you’re a scared littl

The sound of the wheels bumping against each step was the only thing keeping me from totally losing it."Wow, so you were serious," my stepdad said, his fork stopping halfway to his mouth. He was sitting at the kitchen table, a plate of pancakes and syrup in front of him. He looked amused—or maybe angry, I couldn’t tell."Yeah, I have to leave. Liam and Leo have really missed me, and I have work to attend to," I said sharply, directing the last part at my mum as she appeared at the top of the stairs.Her face was a mixture of anger and worry. "What is your problem?" she snapped, descending the steps quickly. "Do you have any idea what kind of danger you’re going into? Your dad is an Alpha! Let him tell you the best way you can stay safe!""Mum!" I shouted, my voice shaking with a mix of anger and disbelief. "I will be fine. Don't act like you care ri

    CHAPTER 84Chapter 84: My Bullies, my Stepbrothers, My MatesCarina’s POVI just stayed quiet and walked out of the house. My bag’s wheels thudded against the ground as I made my way to my car. I wasn't going to allow any of them to change my mind on this. "I’m done," I said aloud, my voice strong even as I pressed the key to pop the trunk open.The sound of the car beeping gave me a small sense of pleasure. At least something in my life still worked as expected. I threw my bag into the trunk with more force than necessary, then slammed it shut. Climbing into the driver’s seat, I sighed deeply. My hands shook slightly as I gripped the driving wheel. I wasn’t worried. No, this was excitement. I was doing the right thing. I had to tell myself of that. As I put the key into the ignition, my eyes flicked up to the rearview mirror. There she was. My mum. Standing on the balcony, her arms crossed tightly across her chest, her face a mask of forced calm. But I could see it—the sadness in h

    PROLOGUESkyla’s sister, Brianna who was in love with Antonio arrived. They had Lisa locked up while they both dragged Carina to the edge of a rocky cliff even as Carina struggled against the hands gripping her arms. The rocky cliff’s edge looked so dangerous, even as thorns shone from below."Let me go!" she screamed, thrashing against the cruel grip of the Skylar and her sister Brianna.The first woman, Skylar, laughed darkly. "Oh, sweet little Carina. Did you really think we’d let you ruin everything?"The second woman, Brianna, leaned in closer, her breath warm against Carina’s cheek. "You took everything from us. And now, we’re making sure you never come back."Carina’s heart pounded so hard she thought it might explode. "I don’t even know you! What the hell are you talking about?"Skylar’s grip tightened, nails digging into Carina’s skin. "Oh, but you do. You just don’t remember. You stole them. You made them look at you like we never existed. You turned them against us!"Briann

    CHAPTER 126Carina’s POV"What's the noise all about?" Skylar's voice cut through the air, smooth and sharp, as she stepped out of the shadows. Two men flanked her, their eyes cold and unreadable.Lisa, who had been running her mouth nonstop, suddenly shut up. Her whole body went stiff as she sized up the situation. And from what we saw? Skylar wasn’t here to talk. She was here to make sure we didn’t leave in one piece."Shit," Lisa whispered under her breath, barely moving her lips. Her hand brushed against mine, fingers trembling slightly. "What do we do?"I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering in my ears. "I have no fucking idea."Skylar took a slow step forward, her smirk widening. "You know, Carina, I expected you to come alone. But I see you brought a little… insurance. How sweet."Lisa scoffed, but there was tension in her voice. "Yeah? And I see you brought muscle. Real fair fight, huh?"The man on Skylar’s left—a tall guy with a scar running down his cheek—cracked his knuckles.

    CHAPTER 125Carina’s POV“Shit..." I muttered, squeezing my eyes shut as Lisa pressed another cotton pad against my wound. The sting burned straight to my bones. "I just remembered... Deven!" I winced, gripping the edge of the table. "I’m supposed to meet Skylar today! We have an appointment."Lisa froze. Her hand, still holding the antiseptic, hovered over my skin. Her face darkened, brows pulling together in a deep frown. "Carina..." she called my name, slow and serious, like she was afraid of what I’d say next.I blinked. It had been a long time since she used my name like that. Not 'girl' or 'dumbass'—but my actual name. My chest tightened.Lisa placed the antiseptic bottle on the table, leaning forward, eyes locked onto mine. "Skylar is pure doom. You know that, right?"I swallowed. "Lisa, she said she can help me sever the bond... If I do that, I’ll finally know the whole truth."Lisa, who had been quiet in the corner, suddenly scoffed. Her voice was sharp, almost bitter. "It’s

    CHAPTER 124Carina’s POVI had to leave this restaurant. The air felt thick, and something in my gut told me I shouldn’t stay here too long. I glanced toward the entrance just as a group of rogue wolves came in. They were rough-looking—like they’d been on the road since morning. Clothes dusty, eyes hollow, their energy was off.Weird set of people.I lowered my gaze, pretending not to notice them as I reached for my watch and jewelry, slipping them into my bag. I didn’t want any trouble. If they saw anything shiny, they might think I had something worth taking. Best to play it safe.But as I was tucking the last ring into my bag, I heard a voice behind me. Low. Rough. Dripping with arrogance.“Pretty girl, come closer.”I stiffened. My grip on my bag tightened. I didn’t turn around. Maybe if I ignored them, they’d leave me alone.“I said, come here.” His voice was louder now. More demanding.Lisa tensed beside me. “Don’t,” she whispered. “Let’s just go.”I swallowed hard, still refusi

    CHAPTER 123Carina’s POVI didn’t even know what to think at this point. My mind was a fucking mess. My head was spinning. My heart was pounding so damn hard I thought it might burst.Rodrigo. My stepbrother. Skylar. His ex-wife. And now this? What did it even mean?Lisa’s voice snapped me out of it. “Carina,” she said, her tone sharp. “What if—” She hesitated. “What if he was actually working with Henry?”I stared at her. My throat felt dry. “No,” I said, but it was weak. It wasn’t convincing. Because deep down, I knew—It was possible.Lisa slammed a hand on the table. “Think about it! Henry kidnapped your son. Henry works for someone. And now we find out Rodrigo’s past is tangled up in some shady-ass shit? What if it’s all connected?”I shook my head, standing up and pacing. “No, no, no. Rodrigo might be a lot of things, but would he really do this?”Lisa’s eyes darkened. “Do you really wanna bet your son’s life on that?”That hit me hard. My stomach twisted. I swallowed down the f

    CHAPTER 122Carina’s POVI didn’t answer. My heart pounded as I stared at the words written in thick, dark ink. Words I never thought I’d see.Rodrigo was behind your son’s kidnap.I swallowed hard. Looked up at Skylar.She nodded. “Now do you believe me?”I read the words again. My hands shook. My breath caught in my throat. My head was spinning like I was about to pass out. What the actual fuck?Rodrigo was behind your son’s kidnap.My stepbrother?No. No way. That was impossible. Rodrigo may have been an asshole, but this? Kidnapping? My son?I looked up at Skylar, my voice barely above a whisper. “What the fuck do you mean?”She crossed her legs, completely unfazed by my reaction. “Exactly what it says.”Lisa snatched the paper from my hand, her eyes scanning over the words. Then, like a bomb exploding, she lost it.“Are you fucking kidding me?” Lisa threw the paper onto the table, glaring at Skylar like she was ready to rip her apart. “You come in here with this bullshit, expecti

We almost lost that deal."I leaned back in my chair, stretching my arms out. "Nah. I had it under control."Lisa scoffed, dropping into the chair beside me. "Oh, please. You were sweating bullets. I thought for a second Benson was gonna eat you alive."I smirked. "And yet, here we are. Deal signed. Money in the bank."She laughed, shaking her head. "You and that big mouth of yours. You stress me out.""It’s part of my charm," I said, winking at her.Lisa rolled her eyes before standing up and walking over to the coffee machine in the corner of the room. She grabbed two mugs, pouring the steaming liquid into them. "Here. You need this more than me."I took the cup gratefully, inhaling the rich scent. "You’re a lifesaver."Lisa plopped back into her seat, crossing one leg over the other. "Alright, now spill. Why the

I was so late.Lisa was already outside, standing near the glass doors, her arms crossed tight over her chest. Her eyes locked on me the second I got out. She didn’t even wait for me to say a word."You’re late, Carina," she snapped, marching towards me.I tossed my keys to her, nearly dropping them in the process. "Help me repark. No time for that now," I rushed, already heading towards the doors.Lisa caught the keys but didn’t move. "You can’t just run in there without knowing what’s going on!" she hissed, grabbing my arm.I stopped, breathing hard. "What? What do I need to know?" I asked quickly, looking around like the investors could pop up at any second.She let out a sharp sigh, glancing towards the meeting room. "They’re pissed. Been waiting too long.

I couldn’t.More silence.Then, a small voice.“Are you mad at us?” Leo asked, his voice though was kinda shaky.My heart squeezed. “No, baby,” I said immediately. “I could never be mad at you.”“Then why do you always sound so angry?” Liam asked, his voice cracking.I let out a shaky breath. I felt somehow but I just pushed the feeling away. I couldn’t cry. Not now. Not in front of them.“I’m not angry,” I whispered. “I’m just… tired.”They didn’t say anything after that. They just sat there, the silence wrapping around us again.I sighed and focused on the road, my chest heavy.I needed to fix this. But I didn’t know how.It was a really long ride home.
