WENDY POV
“No...” I whispered, my throat tight, my voice shaking. “No... this can’t be happening,” I shook my head. “This can't be happening. You can't say that,” I said, my voice a calm desperation. “You need to give me my baby. Now!” The nurse shook her head still. “I'm sorry, ma'am.” No. She was lying. I had felt the kicks, the life inside me. How could it just be gone? “No! I don't believe you! Give me my baby!” I tried to sit up, but something pulled me back— the IV drip. I grab at it, yanking, trying to free myself. “Let me go! I need to see my baby!” The words come out in a scream, my hands fumbling desperately. I have to get out of here. I have to hold my baby. They’re wrong. They’re all wrong. “Please calm down,” the nurse rushes towards me, pressing an unseen button that sends other nurses rushing in. Together, they held me down. “Look at me! Look at me! You need to calm down!” “I can’t calm down! I need my baby!” I dissolved into a puddle of tears. “I just want my baby.” One of them began stroking my limp, disheveled hair softly. “I'm so sorry, but your baby is gone. We did all we could.” I curled up on the bed, my arms wrapping around my stomach, stroking gently but there was nothing. I couldn't feel anything. Only emptiness. “Why?” I choke out, my tears mixing with the dripping from my nose. “Why did this happen?” I asked, my chest tightening with denial and panic. I reached for my stomach again, as if by some miracle I would feel the baby kick, feel that life was still there. But there was nothing. My fingers pressed harder, desperate, hoping for anything — even a flicker I looked at the nurse's face again, trying to make sure it was not some cruel joke they had decided to play on me. But their faces held sincerity, sadness, even. As if they felt my pain and mourned for me. I shook my head, trying to shake their faces — images of pity — away. Perhaps it was a dream. A horrible, terrible nightmare that I would wake up at any time. “What's she doing?” I heard one of the nurses whisper to the other. I ignored them and shut my eyes, taking deep breaths. Then I opened them back up again. I was still here — on the hospital bed, in hospital clothing— hooked to an IV. I was right. It was a nightmare — a real-life nightmare. My baby was gone. “Is there anyone we can call for you, Luna? The Alpha?” a nurse asked, concern in her voice. “Yes. Call me my husband,” I replied, rocking myself. I didn't care that our marriage was on the verge of ruins right now. I needed him, needed to tell him that we had lost our child. “Call my husband.” ***** The hospital room was cold and sterile, a contrast to the storm raging inside me. I lay there, clutching my phone tightly, waiting for George to respond. They had sent someone to the packhouse to call for him, but he hadn't come. I knew he was busy, but surely he would make time for me, especially after hearing I was in pain. I texted him again on my phone: “I’m at the hospital. I need you. Please.” The little “read” notification popped up almost immediately. He saw it, but still… no reply. Minutes passed, and I felt every second dragging on, weighing heavier on my chest. My phone vibrated suddenly, and I glanced down, heart racing, expecting it to be George. It wasn’t. It was from Queen Rosina. The text was short and sharp, cutting through me like a blade. “Did you like my present, little whore? I warned you to stay clear of my stepson, but you refused. Next time, make sure to cut your cloth according to your size.” My hands trembled as I read her words. I had been right all along. This was her doing. She was why I'm here — without my baby. What did I do to deserve this? My only crime was being in love. I didn't know there were repercussions for love. If I had known, I would have stayed far away but now it was too late. I gritted my teeth, blinking away the tears that threatened to spill over as I stared at the message. I didn’t have the strength to reply. All I wanted was my husband. He would come, I was sure of it. He had to. A nurse walked in then, her face pitying as she approached my bed. I sat up, hopeful. “Has George come for me?” I asked, my voice a shaky whisper. “There's someone here to see you.” Relief washed over me. Finally, George was reaching out, showing that he cared, even if he hadn’t replied to my messages. Maybe he was too overwhelmed, or maybe Rosina’s influence had been too strong. But now, he was making an effort. That had to mean something. The door opened, and I turned expectantly. But instead of George, in walked a man I barely recognized—George’s lawyer. My heart sank. “Hello, Luna Wendy,” he said in a formal tone, holding out an envelope. “The Alpha has instructed me to deliver these.” I blinked, not understanding at first. I opened the envelope slowly, dread settling in as I read the top of the document. Divorce papers. “He requests that you sign these immediately,” the lawyer continued, “If you refuse, he will be forced to sue for damages.” “Damages?” I echoed, my voice barely above a whisper. My head was spinning, my heart racing. The man I loved, the man I thought would be here to support me, had sent a lawyer instead. And he was threatening to sue me? My mind couldn’t process it. I felt the tears start to blur my vision, but I wasn’t about to cry in front of this man. I blinked them back, staring down at the papers. Before I could even react, my phone buzzed again. My heart lurched—maybe it was George this time, reaching out to explain, to apologize. I grabbed the phone, hands shaking as I opened the message. But it wasn’t a text. It was a voice recording. From an unknown number. I hesitated, but then, with a deep breath, I pressed play and George's voice filled the room, casual and cruel. “I never loved Wendy,” he was saying, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. “I only took pity on her. She wasn’t... enough for me, never was. And never will be.” The words hit me like a punch to the gut. Every ounce of hope I had left drained out of me, leaving me hollow. Empty. I stared at the phone in disbelief, my whole body trembling. He never loved me? Did he pity me? I had enough. This was it. The lies, the manipulation, the pain—I was done. I wiped away the tears that I had been holding back and stared at the divorce papers. Fine. Did he want a divorce? He could have it. I grabbed the pen, my fingers tightening around it as I prepared to sign my name. But just as I pressed the tip to the paper, a loud voice echoed in my mind, making me freeze. “Do not sign, Wendy. This isn't the way of the Uktenas. Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!” I gasped, my head whipping around, looking for the source of the voice. Who said that? The room was empty except for the lawyer, who seemed oblivious to what I had just heard. My heart raced, pounding in my chest. It couldn’t be real. Could it? I turned towards the mirror across the room, and that’s when I saw it. There, reflected on me, was something I had never seen before. My wolf. It stood tall, its fur glowing under the fluorescent lights, its eyes—burning red. It was magnificent and powerful, and it was me. For the first time, I saw it. It wasn’t just some part of me I kept hidden. My wolf was real. Its presence filled the room, and its wild, earthy smell enveloped me. I stared at it, feeling its power surge through me, grounding me in a way I had never felt before. My breath steadied, and the tears that had been falling stopped. My wolf’s eyes met mine through the mirror, and I knew, deep in my soul, that I couldn’t give in. Not like this. George had hurt me, Rosina had humiliated me and made me lose my child, but I wouldn’t let them break me. I turned back to the lawyer, still holding the pen in my hand but no longer willing to sign. “I’m not signing these,” I said, my voice firm, stronger than it had been in a long time. The lawyer looked at me, surprised, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t the same woman I had been before. My wolf had awakened, and with it, so had I.WENDY'S POV“Umm,” the lawyer began before pausing to clear his throat. He then continued, “Ma'am, I suggest you just sign these papers and let's get this over with. It won't take you more than a minute.”My voice was firm and strong, so unwilling and unyielding that it felt like someone else was speaking through me. “And I said I do not want to sign these papers. Go back to your Alpha and tell him that. If he has any other thing to say or do, let him come to me directly. Until then, don't approach me again.”He tried one more time. “Please, try to see reason here. Just sign it.”I didn't back down, didn't flinch as I said, “Leave. Now.”The lawyer sighed and gathered the papers together back into his briefcase. “I see you still need sometime to yourself after the traumatic event that has happened. It's understandable. You're not fully in your right state of mind. I'll come back another time.”Bastard, I seethed angrily, I would kill him the next time he sets his foot in this room.As
BRITTANY'S POVI popped the champagne cork, and Queen Rosina let out a delighted squeal. We were alone in the palace, freely sharing our joy and happiness with what had happened.We had achieved what we set out to do – get rid of Wendy.“To us,” Queen Rosina said, raising her glass. “To our perfect plan,”I clinked my glass against hers, taking a sip of the bubbly liquid. It was sweet, just like our victory.“Finally,” I murmured. Queen Rosina’s lips curled into a satisfied smirk. “That Wendy bitch is out of the way, as she should’ve been from the start.” Wendy. The name alone was enough to send a ripple of resentment through me. For years, I had stood by, forced to watch her take everything that should have been mine. And for what? Because George had some stupid attachment to his childhood sweetheart? It was pathetic. “She never belonged here,” I said, my voice sharp and bitter. “The pack didn’t want her, the council didn’t respect her, and George…” I paused, swallowing the b
George’s PovI sat at my desk, staring at the divorce papers in front of me with barely contained anger. The lawyer I had sent to Wendy with the papers had brought them back earlier, saying she refused to sign them. That act of defiance from her pissed me off more than anything. I wanted to move on. I wanted the closure these divorce papers would bring and how dare she deny me that? She was the one who had thrown what we had away to the dogs, so she had no right to deny me my wish.The lawyer said she had been on the verge of signing it before she abruptly changed her mind.Why? What had made her change her mind?Then I thought about the alimony I had offered her. Was it too small? Was that why she was being so stubborn? Because she wanted more?I gritted my teeth in anger. What this meant was that she had only been with me for the money. She had only been acting like a loving wife because of the money she could get from me. There was never any love for me on her part. Every emotio
Chapter 8George’s POV“I have to save her!” I screamed as I renewed my efforts to get to the car. “I have to save my wife!”I threw off my Beta running towards the car. Despite the yelling and screaming coming from the passerby, I paid them deaf ears. I couldn't let her die,she can’t die because it will be on my conscience. She betrayed me and maybe I do hate her, but that doesn't mean she gets to leave me in this world. Tears were already streaming down my face. Few meters away from the car, that’s when I heard a yell. “The car’s fuel is leaking, you can't go near it because it would blow.” I didn't stop, I have to save my woman. I took another step and the car exploded, the explosion throwing me back. I hit my back on the floor hard and I swear I could hear a bone crack. Tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision. I could see the fire department trying to put out the fire, people gathering around me, whispering in hushed voices. “No!” I whispered. Somewhere in my memory,
ALPHA GEORGE’S POVThankfully, my legs weren't damaged pretty badly and I could still use them I just had to go through surgery and I'll be fine. While being prepped, I took out the hair bun from my pockets and slipping it on my wrist.I stared at the ribbon, memories of each time i helped her fix it on her hair. I smiled on remembering one of our moments togetherFLASHBACKI had just returned from a pack meeting, I wasn't the Alpha then. The elders were still testing me to see if I was fit for the role. I came back and tired and I didn't meet her at the door step as usual. I got worried and ran upstairs to our room to look for her, only to hear her grumbling at something.I knocked gently on the door"What!" She answered, sounding frustrated. I smiled, if she knew I was the one, she would freak and apologize which I hated by the way. We were mated to each other, I didn't want her apologizing on every chance she got.I entered and she gasped in shock."I didn't know you were the one."
Chapter 10Wendy's POVI watched as the fire burnt through the car I was supposed to be in. Creating a perfect and believable death wasn't an easy thing to do, but I did."That's done," Whitney whispered in my ears and I stared up at the sky. The last few days have been an eye-opener and I don't think my heart will ever heal from the heartaches and pains I went through."Where to now?" I asked."They will still be on the lookout to see if you survived, so lay low a bit," Whitney replied and I nodded. I was about to turn to leave when I heard a scream. I stopped in my tracks."Don't turn back." Whitney's warning voice resounded in my ears. I shut my eyes, wanting to obey her, I just couldn't when I heard the scream again. It sounded so familiar, so I turned just in time to see George running into the car crash."I said not to turn, Wendy," Whitney said, sounding pissed."What is he doing?" I muttered watching them run to the car.I shouldn't have been this worried and concerned about h
Ch 11Wendy's POV"He was there while I was being accused, he knew better than anyone else that I would never cheat on George, but what did he do? He just stood there, agreeing to their terms!" I yelled. Edward groaned in pain from where he lay, getting on his feet as he rubbed his arm. I think I kinda broke it as it was a little bit discoloured."I'm not George, Wendy. You know the way to the palace, go there and just take out your anger on him.” Then with a look of mock realization,he continued.“Oh my, you probably won't….. because you will cower when you meet him. You are a coward, Wendy." He said, flexing his broken arm. "You know nothing about me!" I snarled, walking towards him." Oh please,your first attempt to break my neck didn't work, you're going for a second attempt, come on,don't hold back." Edward shrugged,staring at her. She looked beautiful when being feisty and angry. "I don't need your help." I said, walking away. Edward smiled, walking with me. "You know you

This has caused the twelve ruling Alpha kings to release official statements acknowledging her announcement,a great shock if you ask me. They also offered to hold an inauguration ceremony where the biggest reveal of the decade would take place.

It's been six years now since I left the Shadow Fang clan and for the past six years I have slowly been building up my presence in the online hacker community till I became a name to be revered and feared.

Chapter 154.George's POV. She hung the call before I could say Jack.I picked my car key before I stormed out of my office, gaining attention from the staff, especially my secretary who was , at that time, in the office with me.The drive to the Peak Hotel felt longer because of the packed road. My hands tightened around the steering wheel as I drove through the traffic, my mind running with different thoughts. Wendy already knew. Of course, she knew. Nico and the others , I should have known they wouldn't be able to keep up the act for long."Shit," I muttered under my breath as I pulled into the hotel's driveway. The valet approached, but I waved him off and parked the car myself. My heart was hammering as I stepped into the hard floor of the hotel, the soft hum of music didn't help with the situation, I just felt sick to my stomach.Conference room A2B. I knew exactly where it was.I spotted her the moment I pushed the door open. Wendy stood at the window, arms crossed, her b
Wendy's POV.I stood in front of Peak Hotel, taking my time to admire the luxurious building while the valet left to park my car.When he returned the keys to me, I exhaled sharply before I entered the hotel.Conference room A2B. I really hope I get it in the nick of time.Minutes later, which is still in my favor, I was standing behind the mahogany door, inhaling and exhaling.I hated to admit how nervous I was. And anyone in this situation will probably be more nervous than I am. The investors are not just investors, they are big in the industry.For them to have picked my business to invest in, I must not mess anything up. And God help me with that.I wondered why they're not public, but I knew they couldn't care less.Hesitantly, I got myself to knock.“Come in,” a timbre voice said. I opened the door. a short gasp fell out of my mouth.The first thing that took my breath was the floor-to-ceiling windows that were as clear as air.In the middle of the room sat a long ebony table g
Wendy's POV.I was going to leave. But I have to close an important deal, before I hand over my business to an expert.Yes, I was planning to leave it all and go, and that's how my meek revenge plan went.I will leave till I hear the news, that maybe one of them is out of the way – either in prison or…who knows.That's how weak I am, I'm not taking revenge, am running from revenge, hoping someone will take it for me.I was deep in my thoughts when someone interrupted me.“Berlin,” I called.I eyed the man in front of me. He was in a corporate wear of suit pants and ironed out shirt.“Any news?” I asked, knowing he wouldn't be here if there was no news.He nodded. I gestured for him to continue.“Apparently Alpha George had a blow match with Beta Edward,” he reported.Immediately my eyes squeezed shut as I took in the information.“Was anyone hurt?” I pushed further.“The angle it was taken from showed it vividly,” he said as he showed me the picture.I zoomed in on it and my heart s
Wendy's POV.My fingers traced the thick rim of the wine glass while I waited for him in the same grand restaurant I have always wanted to go.I knew he would want an explanation. Or maybe just something to let him know he's in his right senses.And he is, but I'm not.As my focus drifted , I let George linger in my mind – his touch, his warmth…everything.A sharp knock on the table pulled me from my thoughts.George appeared with a wide smile but I maintained a straight face. He looked dejected at that instance and of course, I beat myself up for it.“Why did you leave? – I thought you were ready to stay,” he finally said after a long, uncomfortable moment of silence.“It was just a fling and you know that,” I said almost immediately, like I had practiced my response. I bit my inner cheeks. I don't want to sound harsh to him.“Really? But I'm not ready to call anything a fling with you,” he said, his face dripping with determination.I sucked in. How am I going to make it clear to h
Chapter 150.Wendy's POV. The golden light filtered into the bedroom, directly into my eyes.My eyes immediately squinted as they made contact with the streaks of sunlight. I turned over to the other side and I saw him, still sound asleep.The events of the previous day played in my head like a perfectly working CD, and a blush crept up my face.I was still naked, given that I was undressed after the warm but not near innocent bath.It was the best sex I have ever had, with George of course because we both wanted to savor the moment and take everything it has to offer. To be honest, i didn't rethink or regret my decision as at yesterday. But now that I'm awake and he's not, I feel I need a moment to know what's next.It's definitely a topic we would still discuss, and I don't think I'm ready to make our ‘fling’ more than that.All I want in my life for now is for my business to thrive. I know it's already among the top three, but still I want more.Whitney Decodes must be a worldwi
Chapter 149.Wendy's POV.He was taking too much time outside with Brittany.I didn't tell him it was Brittany because I was scared to see his reaction. What if he didn't look as angry as I wanted him to be?.When he opened the front door, I turned back from the staircase.I loathed to admit but yes, I was eavesdropping.And I heard everything. The point where Brittany called me a girl to the point he defended me, saying I'm the woman he loves.Still, I was feeling both emotions. Jealousy and happiness.Jealousy that Brittany was standing in his front and I know she won't keep her hands to herself.And happiness that he finally spelt it out to her how important he said I am to him.As he left his final words and turned to enter, I quickly ran into hiding.He sat on the couch, fuming.I gently walked towards him, “You're fuming,” I said behind him and he immediately looked back.Terror was written on his face and he walked to the back of the chair where I was.“You’re here,” he said an
Chapter 148.Wendy's POV.He immediately caught me, and we found ourselves in an awkward position.His knees were bent to support mine and his arms wrapped around my shoulder - my back to be precise.Only that I can't afford to be precise at this moment. My chest kept threatening to erupt and I could feel his calculated breathings.Everything was not normal, and the casual air seemed to be replaced with tension - sexual tension.After what seemed like eternity, he detached his arms slowly and carefully, but as I was about steadying myself, his hands slip and I fell butts flat on the floor.“Fuck, are you okay?” he exclaimed immediately crouching down to my level.He touched my arm in a bid to apologize but I shook under his touch which made him retract immediately.“I'm sorry,” he said, standing up from the floor.He reached out his hand and I took it hesitantly. I dusted my clothes immediately and I was back on my feet.“It was a mistake, I know,” I said and he nodded, pinching his f
Chapter 147.George's POV.My words seem to have gotten to her. She turned back on heels and crashed right into the cushion next to my bed with a loud thud.It's not the exact kind of close I want but at least I get to catch the whiff of her berry cologne and I could hear her soft sighs.I turned to sleep in a way that I could see her every movement. Her head was thrown back, her hair spreading around the neck of the cushion. She was tired. I made her tired and I can't help but beat myself up for it.“I'm here now…and you're not sleeping,” she said coldly without looking at me and I immediately went wide eyed.I pretended like I shifted, “I'm sleeping,” I said in a fake snore.“Right? I guess you can stare at me while you're sleeping now,” she said, finally looking at me.For a moment I forgot the question, focusing on her brown eyeballs on me. She stared deeply like she was looking into my soul and my chest did a backflip.She blinked her eyes when she realized she was staring inte
Chapter 146.Wendy's POV.One second George was standing tall , the next his knees buckled underneath him.“George,” I shouted running towards him as he collapsed on the cold floor.Gasps tore across the room and everywhere scattered in confusion, the elders murmured among themselves, Edward took a step back.I didn't have time to look at his expressions as I was expecting help from them but his smirk was replaced with confusion.I dropped to my knees beside George, I carried his head in my palms and I felt his burning temperature.His breathing was ragged, and his heartbeat hollow.“George,” I lowered to whisper in his ear, “Come on, open your eyes,” I said but I got no response, just a fragile attempt of raising his finger.He looked so weak. He shouldn't have shown up in this state – it was obvious he was pushing himself and it has taken a toll on him.“Step back,” Edward's voice tore the silence.“Don't you dare come closer,” I glared at him and he stopped just at my front.He sm
