*EVELYN* I had a feeling that something was off with Lance, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. He seemed distant, distracted, almost like he was carrying a weight on his shoulders that he couldn't shake off. And it was starting to worry me. At first, I thought it was just work stress or th
I watched as Lance tried to put on a brave face, as he assured me that everything was fine. But I could see right through his facade. There was a darkness in his eyes, a heaviness in his voice that betrayed his true emotions. I knew him well enough to know that he was far from fine. It saddened me
I watched Lance intently, hoping beyond measure that my presence, my unwavering support, was making a difference. I yearned for the moment when the weight of his troubles would begin to lift, when the light would find its way back into his eyes. I wanted nothing more than to see him heal, to witness
Lance's lips traced a path along my neck, leaving a trail of tingling sensations in their wake. The soft warmth of his breath against my skin sent shivers down my spine, awakening every nerve ending with a delicious anticipation. I melted beneath his touch, surrendering myself to the passion that pu
*EMILY* stepped into the bustling restaurant, the aroma of freshly cooked meals wafting through the air, mingling with the sounds of clattering plates and cheerful chatter. It was my new workplace, a place where I had found solace and a sense of purpose. The initial excitement of starting a new j
Despite the growing sense of peace and contentment that enveloped me, there were moments when worry still clawed at the edges of my consciousness. It was as if an old companion, reluctant to bid farewell, lingered in the shadows, reminding me of the fragility of life and the uncertainties that lay a
Mrs. Harper, the bully Alphas, and the dark memories they represented had become distant echoes in the tapestry of my life. I had moved on, far away from the shadows that once haunted me, and I reveled in the freedom and safety that distance provided. It was as if a weight had been lifted from my sh
Mrs. Harper was a relentless force, a cruel and manipulative figure who thrived on the suffering of others. Her presence alone was suffocating, a heavy cloud that cast a perpetual shadow over my existence. She held the power to strip away my dignity, to crush my spirit beneath her heels. Had I staye
They were right, it's been years since we heard that I won't be able to give birth again, a change might happen in another year. Then all of a sudden, I heard the sound of the breaking of the air and I quickly dodged to the side. Then, I felt a stinging pain on my waist. When I looked down, I saw
But whenever I remember the look on their faces before they turned back at me and the fact that I still had their mark on me, I would lose the courage to hurt myself. Also, there was a part in me that wanted to take revenge for my daughter but in the condition that I was in at that point, I could n
EMILY'S POV. My face was a mask of resignation, a facade that concealed the raw ache of my sadness, my true emotions hidden beneath a carefully crafted veneer. My movements became slow and deliberate as if the weight of my sadness had settled upon my bones, making even the simplest tasks laboriou
"What took you so long? Did you forget that we were waiting for you?" The mean looking woman said but I just kept quiet without saying anything. "Now, that everything is done, I hereby use this chance to banish Emily from this pack, she will not enter the vicinity of the pack no matter what, now s
B..but, I was helpless. There was nothing I could do, I did not want them to suffer for my mistakes. They've not done anything wrong and it was all my fault so I should suffer for my mistakes. "Stop dilly-dallying around, let's do the ritual." The old man said again and I finally stood up weakly.
EMILY'S POV. "She can't stay here any more and that's final, if you continue to disobey, you will be sent into the pack's inner dungeon for ten years or even more." The hunched old man said and my heart skipped a bit Inner dungeon? Why were they so cruel? In every pack, there must always be tw
Although I had wondered who could be behind it all, I was not so bothered about it because it was exactly what I wanted. My plan had started to work too. I also told Matt to start spreading rumors about Emily's inability to give birth to any other child. I wanted to start shaking the brother's foun
"The others are also the same, they believed that following you would not do any good and they won't be able to gain anything and as you know, those people are only after gains and profit, so it is rational that they stayed behind and turned their back against you." "So, My Lord, how will you do it
LARRY'S POV. After spending some years alone and in pain, I finally realised the usefulness of power and status. Without power, no one would stay with you but I realised it too late and when I was at the gate of death. I was tired of working for or with my brothers, I wanted to work for myself. I
