“Anna, please try to compose yourself,” was Navian’s attempt to soothe me, his voice peaceful amidst my emotional tumult.

I gazed at my son; he was fast asleep at last, his little body rising and falling with each breath he took. Relief mingled with residual fear, making my knees weak.

"What was the last thing he ate?" Navian asked the maids who had been with him at the time.

"Oh, he ate peanuts," one responded, her face pale with worry.

"Peanuts it is then," Navian responded, nodding as he looked down at Owen.

"What do you mean 'peanuts it is then'? Was he choking on it?" I asked, my voice rising in panic again.

"Oh no, he seems to be allergic to peanuts. Do you know if anyone in your family has experienced that before?" Navian said, looking at me with concern.

"Uhm, when I was little, my father never tasted them. He usually said he was allergic to nuts," I responded sincerely, a realization dawning on me.

"The young man was reacting to the peanuts," Navian confirmed, his expressio

    How quickly my life moved on from Landen was shocking to me too. I believe it was because of Owen’s presence in my life. My son became my anchor, my reason to get up every morning and face the world. I sincerely don’t wish to be with any man at all, but Alex is a real nut case.Sitting here and drinking with him was uncomfortable, but I had to; otherwise, he would be in the boutique waiting for me to step out of my office. The small, dimly lit café was supposed to be a neutral ground, yet it felt stifling, and the air was heavy with unspoken words and unresolved feelings.“Annabeth, I have told you I have no problem with taking your son as mine, just give me the chance, please.” He said in his usual calm and pleading tone. His eyes were earnest, reflecting a sincerity that made my chest tighten.“Alex, that is not where I have a problem. I am sure you will treat my son well, but I am not ready to be with another man now, Alex.” I said, trying to make him understand. The thought of ope

    If there is something that I truly adore about my kitchen, it is that, during warm afternoons, the light that comes from the window makes the place appear to be somewhat warm and cozy.He sat on a chair beside the table with his little legs ticking back and forth as always when he had something troubling him. The uncertainty that ordinarily is well camouflaged by the mutual pleasure of our talks was evident in his changing eyes, foggy and obscure at that moment. “Here you go, sweetie,” I said, putting the plate on the table in front of him and running my fingers through his hair. "Eat up. " Owen then grabbed an apple slice but did not put it in his mouth right away. He simply looked at it, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Then his eyes met mine and he became completely serious. “Mommy, may I talk to you about something?” He asked in a low tone as though asking the question was the most difficult thing he had to do. I felt like I had a realization, my heartbeat increased a

    As I strolled through the busy shopping center together with my friend Rita, the thrilled voices of other women surrounding us caught my attention.“What? I thought the CEO of Kurtna said the Delante dress was limited. There are several outlets currently selling it. I have to go buy it too; it's worth having in my closet,” one woman said, her eyes glued to her phone.“Yeah, I saw a picture too. I was even ready to do anything to buy it the first time it was launched, but the price was huge. Thank goodness the current price is quite affordable; I'll be getting one,” another woman chimed in.Lately, there have been numerous posts on social media about the massive sale of Delante dresses. It seemed like everyone wanted it, and in a group of thirty women, you could easily find ten wearing the dress.***“There has been a copy of the Delante dress out there. We made the Delante dress limited to a few pieces, and as of last week, only ten pieces were made,” a man said, sitting at the confere

    “In three days, a Directors’ event will be happening, and you have received an invitation from Chairman Powell. Are you attending?” Emily asked me, her tone professional as always, while I flipped through a pile of documents.“Yes, he’s someone I must honor. That event will have lots of business CEOs; I have to be there,” I replied, not looking up.This event was an annual gathering for business owners worldwide to connect. Last year, I met a lady who owned a fashion house there. She displayed several designs and brands, and we signed a contract that made me a lot of money.“Well, the dress code is ladies in red and men in black suits,” Emily added.At the party ground, it was an event for big CEOs. Everyone had greeted one another, and the party had started. People were still walking up to each other for business deals, which was the purpose of the event. By about 9 p.m., I had greeted every person I really wanted to connect with. Of course, many used this opportunity to initiate ma

    I could faintly hear footsteps and people talking around me, their voices echoing through my muddled mind. I was trying as much as I could not to fall completely unconscious, even though I felt utterly helpless.My dress was taken off, and I was being positioned properly. With a sense of desperation consuming me, I prayed in silence,"Dear moon goddess, please help me, save me."A few minutes later, darkness took over, and I passed out.I felt dizzy when I woke up. Gradually, I recognized that I was in a big room with a huge window and a blossom on the edge of the bed where I lay. This is not what the hotel room I paid for looked like.“my goodness, where is this?” I whispered, panic rising. I noticed I was fully naked.“My goodness, was I assaulted last night?” I muttered, tears already falling from my eyes. I didn’t even know what they had done to me.I looked at the other end of the room and saw tripods and cameras. “What? I was recorded!” I shouted, my voice trembling with shock a

    I had been working all week, pouring myself into the production room with designers to meet a crucial client's project deadline. Most days, I left the house very early and came back very late, often working overnight.This relentless schedule meant I hadn't bumped into anyone, and my interactions were limited to quick exchanges at work.My phone beeped, breaking my concentration. Glancing at the screen, I saw a pop-up message: “Our hero saved you from my men, but the next one you’re not going to escape. I assure you, you won’t be saved by anyone.”I flinched, feeling a chill run down my spine. How did they get my private contact? I opened the message to view the sender, but it was tagged as unknown. Panic set in, and I quickly called Rita.“Hey babe, what’s up?” Rita said from the other end, her voice cheerful.“I just sent you a screenshot. I got a threatening message. What should I do?” I asked, my voice trembling.“First, calm down. It's the first time, right? We just have to be m

    The message haunted me. The words echoed in my mind: "Our hero saved you from my men, but the next one you’re not going to escape it, I assure you, you won’t be saved by anyone."Who could have done this to me? And who was the hero that saved me? These questions were continually running in my mind and distracting me from my work. I stayed at work at my desk and the usual productivity and noise of the office surrounded me, while inside, I was alone in my worry and despair. Tightly biting my lip, I tried to read the message again, but the light of the computer made me blink.I have actually shared the screenshot with Rita but that was of no consolation as the feeling of the inner worm gnawing at my guts would not go away. My thoughts went through the list of possible culprits. Maybe it was someone from the industry, who saw me do well and they had jealousy in their heart. For years, I had created some influential rivals who did not like my position in the fashion industry.I had been v

    I noticed that Owen was very quiet during the time we were heading to school. The regular bubbling with stories of dinosaurs and space adventures was replaced by a silence that looked far too profound for a three-year-old boy.I looked back at him in the rearview mirror, he was attached to the window, his tiny face as blank as the landscape outside seemed to be to him. There was an obvious worry in his mind and I for one felt sad to see him in that state. “What’s up buddy, what's going on in that little head of yours?” I pretended to be excited just to encourage him to open up to me. Owen looked at me, and those large blue beautiful eyes he had were teary and it broke my heart to see it.“It’s nothing, Mother,” he whispered, but I knew there was more than that. “Would you like to speak to your friends today?” I asked him expecting him to open up and tell me something. He shrugged, and I felt my despair deepening. Owen loved school. He loved his friends and his teacher, Ms. Maureen

    The living room was filled with the soft hum of conversation and occasional laughter, the warmth of companionship wrapping around me like a familiar blanket.Navian sat beside me, his eyes reflecting both relief and concern. I glanced around at the others—Rita, Mikel, and someone I hadn’t expected to see—Elena, Navian’s fiancée.Having Elena in the room made me feel off and it only got worse when she took a step forward, the atmosphere thickening. Her eyelids were puffy and her cheeks were crimson.It looked like she had been sobbing non-stop for many hours. I studied her with caution because I didn’t know what to anticipate.Elena said with a trembling voice, "Anna." “I—I need to apologize. For everything.”I frowned, glancing at Navian for an explanation, but he nodded, silently urging me to hear her out.“I—worked with Hannah to get you and Owen kidnapped,” she continued, her words tumbling out in a rush.“I was jealous and insecure. I thought—thought Navian still had feelings for

    I watched as Landen cradled Owen in his arms and rocked him back and forth like a baby. I could see the tenderness in his gaze as a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Seeing him this protective and caring kind of guy reminded me of their planned connection. "He's so peaceful when he sleeps." I walked over to them and whispered, “Like all the pain and chaos we’ve been through never touched him.”Landen glanced up at me, his eyes shining with a warmth I hadn’t seen in years. “It’s because of you, Anna. You’ve always protected him, kept him safe when I couldn’t.”I smiled softly, reaching out to brush my fingers through Owen’s hair. “We both protected him, Landen. We’re both his parents.”A flicker of something—guilt, regret—crossed his face. He looked down at Owen, his jaw tightening.“I failed him. I failed both of you. I let you go… let you suffer alone because I didn’t see what was right in front of me.”“Landen,” I whispered, my voice gentle but firm. “We’ve been throug

    Anna's POVI found myself in the middle of the pack house, surveying the crowd spread before me. Some faces were known to me, while a few were unknown but friendly faces, filled with respect and warmth.It was heartwarming to hear Landen’s voice echo around the room, announcing my presence after such a long time.“Today, we acknowledge what should have never been questioned,” Landen declared, his gaze steady on me.“Anna is the rightful Luna of the Moonlight Pack. Her strength, courage, and unwavering loyalty have proven that time and again. And,” he paused, his voice softening as he looked at Owen, “our son, Owen, is the true heir of this pack.”Around us, cheers broke out. I felt a wave of emotions rush through me as a result of the music. I blinked back the tears that pricked at the corners of my eyes while maintaining a straight face. I had believed I had lost this moment and this realization forever.I glanced over at Owen, who was standing beside Landen, a proud smile on his sma

    I wasn’t separated from Anna for hours it seemed like I had been watching over her the whole day. Each day washed the other away, sleepless nights and hours of waiting where the days became a blur. I sat by her bedside and only got up occasionally to attend to Owen or get something I needed.It mattered not whether the roof above was made of iron or gold; it mattered not whether the earth below was stone or sand; it didn’t matter whether the food on the table was plain or grand; the only thing that was important was to be here with her, waiting for her to wake up and give me her smile once again, to hear her laughter, to hear her say “I’m fine.”It was very silent in that room, the only audible noises were the …beeping of the heart monitor, and the sound of the equipment. I saw how Anna’s chest was moving up and down, but she was so weak, so slim, so unlike the woman I had married.I reached out and touched her gently on her hand, afraid to grip it too firmly lest she break.“Anna,” I

    Gerald was finally behind bars, I was standing just outside of the cell, looking at him across the heavy barred iron, I looked at him that way.He looked right back at me and his eyes were filled with anger and hate that had been brewed deep within him.“You think this is over, Landen?” Gerald sneered, his lips curling back. “You may have won this round, but you’ll never truly defeat me. The bond I have with Anna—”“Shut your mouth,” I growled, my voice low and dangerous. “You lost, Gerald. There’s no bond, no claim. You’ll rot in this cell for the rest of your miserable life.”I turned on my heel, walking away before I could do something I’d regret. I couldn’t afford to let Gerald’s words affect me now. Not when Anna’s life still hung in the balance. I glanced at the pack warriors standing guard.“No one goes in or out without my express permission,” I ordered. “He doesn’t get to speak to anyone. Understood?”“Yes, Alpha,” they replied in unison, their stances firm and unyielding.Sa

    I glanced up as the two warriors dragged a struggling, screaming Hannah towards me. Her screams broke through the mayhem and blood that had marred the evening, resonating throughout the warehouse.My so-called wife, the one who had destroyed all I had ever held dear, was the object of my unwavering gaze.“What is the meaning of this?” I growled, narrowing my eyes at the warriors.My voice came out low and dangerous, but I couldn’t help it. Anger coursed through my veins like fire. “You dare to handle my wife like that?”The words slipped out before I could stop them, but even as I said them, they felt foreign on my tongue. I didn’t recognize them as mine.Was she really my wife? Could I even call her that when Anna—my true mate—was lying on the cold ground, bleeding out in front of me?“We apologize, Alpha, but…” One of the warriors hesitated, glancing at his partner before meeting my gaze again.“We saw the Luna pull the trigger that just shot Lady Anna.”All I could feel was cold, a

    Gerald shrieked in agony as my claws tore into his side. I saw him stumble back, breathing in short breaths as blood spattered on the concrete floor. His fur was matted and saturated in blood—some of it mine, most of it his. We circled each other, breathing fiercely, but I felt like I was winning this time. The look in Gerald’s eyes wasn’t one of a confident victor anymore. It was the gaze of a desperate man who realized he was losing everything.“Come on, Gerald,” I growled, lowering my stance. “Is this the best you can do? After all the planning, the scheming—you thought you’d just waltz in and take my family?”He growled, baring his teeth, but there was hesitation in his movements now. His attacks came slower, less precise. I could feel his strength fading as we clashed again and again. With each bite and claw stroke, I pushed him farther away and neared victory.His voice quivering with a mix of tiredness and wrath, he growled, "Shut up!" He came at me, but I effortlessly sideste

    The moment my bones cracked and shifted, fur bursting through my skin, I knew there was no turning back. My wolf form, dark and massive, towered over Gerald as he shifted in response.The air hummed with energy and anticipation, our growls vibrating through the large warehouse like thunder.Everything around us blurred—my warriors, Gerald’s men, Navian desperately trying to untie Anna from those cursed red bindings—but none of it mattered.It was just Gerald and me. Alpha against Beta. We lunged at each other simultaneously, teeth bared, claws ready to rip through flesh.Our bodies collided with a sickening thud, and we rolled across the concrete floor in a tangle of fur and fury. Gerald’s fangs snapped at my throat, but I twisted, using my larger frame to pin him down. He snarled, kicking me off with a powerful shove that sent me skidding back.I regained my footing quickly, leaping at him again. This time, my teeth found purchase, sinking into his shoulder.He groaned in pain and hi

    As we approached the warehouse, it appeared as a dilapidated prison instead, its decayed skeleton cutting sharp tongues of shade on the ground that was bathed in the light of the moon.My team and I went a little faster, heading toward Gerald's hideout. We had managed to follow him to this godforsaken location with only one intent in mind: to shoot and bring both Anna and Owen home.That feeling lingered in the atmosphere, the second skin feeling when your body was alert and screaming for you to run. Each and every step we made resounded faintly in the silence.My heart was a drumbeat of fury and fear. When we reached the doors, I signaled my men to halt. The scent of wolves—more than I had expected—hung heavy in the air. Gerald hadn’t just hidden away; he’d prepared for war.I glanced at my warriors. Each one looked back at me with grim determination, their muscles taut, ready for action. I nodded, and they braced themselves. Pushing open the creaky metal doors, we stepped inside, we
