As the meeting dragged on, I found myself zoning out, lost in thought. What was Gino really looking for in this fake marriage? Was it just a business arrangement, or was there something more?

I glanced over at Gino, trying to catch his eye, but he was too engrossed in the meeting to notice. His eyes were fixed intently on the papers in front of him, his brow furrowed in concentration.

The meeting finally came to a close, and we left the conference room together. Gino turned to me with a smile. "Well, that's done," he said. "The merger is set to close next week."

I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. It was over, and now we could move on to the next step.

But as we walked back to the office, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Gino seemed distant, preoccupied. And I couldn't help but wonder what was going on behind those piercing blue eyes.

We spent the rest of the day going over the details of our fake marriage, discussing everythin

    Harriet's POV The forest grew eerily silent as we crept closer to Klaus’s den. Shadows stretched across the trees, and I could feel the tension thickening with every step. Gino’s grip on my hand tightened, but I kept my focus, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. Suddenly, a rustling noise shattered the quiet—guards, or perhaps Klaus’s muscle, emerging from the shadows. Their eyes gleamed with suspicion as they spotted us. I instinctively lowered my body, green glow flickering faintly at my fingertips, bracing for a fight. “Hold it, soldiers,” Klaus’s voice rang out, commanding and cold, slicing through the tension. From the darkness, Klaus’s cruel voice boomed, dripping with mockery. “Well, well, look who’s come to visit—the little runaway, Gino. Did you really think you could sneak in and take what’s yours? And you’ve brought a friend, how brave of you.” His words oozed like poison, and I wanted nothing more than to tear him apart. Gino’s voice rumbled with fury

    Harriet's POV I blinked as I tried my hardest to make sense of everything that was happening around me. Gino held my hand, and I bit my lower lip. Mrs Carter was saying that we needed a plan, something concrete and solid. But, what? I was about to come face-to-face with the man who was supposed to be my father, but it would not be a happy reunion. No way! He was pure evil, scum. My mother had endured so much pain and anguish from him, and he had stolen what was supposed to be Gino's. He did not deserve to live another moment for what he had put so many through. I was disgusted to think someone so cruel could be my father, my blood. "Harriet, are you okay?" Gino squeezed my hand and leaned over to me. I could see how worried he was, and that was the last thing he needed to be thinking about. I nodded my head, pulled away and offered him a smile. This was it. Time to stop being a wimp and face my past. I had to put Klaus in his place. He needed to know that he would no

    Gino’s POV It all makes sense to me now. Klaus would kill Harriet if he found out about her, and I knew it would be a matter of time before that got back to him especially if Aurora opened her big gob about how she had seen Harriet’s eyes change and he would put two and two together. He would scower the whole world until he found her. That bastard had already stolen my father from me and my rightful place on the throne as Alpha of Silverdock pack I would not let him hurt Harriet. He had to go. I had to get rid of him once and for all. Even though that meant going back. Going back to the face the ones I had cowardly ran away from and not given my side of the story. Running had made me look weak, a coward with a guilthy conscious. Of course Klais would have been glad I had gone without a fight for my rightful place. I had to go back! The weight of my decision pressed down on me like a thousand pounds. Returning meant facing everything I had tried to escape—the shame, the pain

    Harriet's POV Klaus! The name echoed in my mind; it felt both foreign and familiar. How the hell was that even possible? I did not understand any of it. My brows furrowed, and a strange feeling crawled down my spine. Then my vision blurred; the room began to spin around me. A vivid image burst into my mind; it was sharp and then clear. A man—tall and huge with cold eyes—he was sitting on a silver throne, and a woman knelt before him. Her head was bowed, and her body trembled with fear. She was begging, pleading for her life. Her voice was desperate, and then a scream pierced the air. "You will die for your crimes," the man on the grand throne shouted so loudly, his tone firm and authoritative. Armoured guards dragged the woman away as she continued to plead for her life. Then the scene shifted. I saw the same woman, covered in blood, her face pale, clutching her belly, crying out in agony. This time, she was in a dark forest, surrounded by overgrown bushes and witherin

    Damon’s POV STUPID BITCH! Aurora. Why did she need to keep poking her nose in? Harriet had come to see me, to talk. I was certain that I could have talked her round if Aurora and Gino had not in the way of us. It angered me, no it infuriated me how everyone just got in the way. Did I not deserve a chance to try with Harriet? She seemed to think Gino was the love of her life but I did not think so. Even now, seeing Harriet in that new light, the way her eyes turned that colour and she lashed out. I'd never seen her like that before in my life. It made me wonder about her past. Where she really came from? Had she just been dumped at Milton Manor like a nobody? I shook my head and went back inside, the rain was starting to fall and it was already getting heavy by the second. Aurora stood back, watching me carefully. Her eyes told me she hated me for rejecting her like I did after I had made her my Luna. I felt bad about that but I couldn't help that my heart wanted

    Gino’s POV The memories hit me like a ton of bricks, relentless and unforgiving. I see myself standing in the heart of the pack’s territory, younger, full of hope, with a fire burning inside me. It feels like yesterday, yet it’s been years—decades—since that fateful night that changed everything.I remember the tension thickening in the air, the whispers spreading like wildfire. The elders’ voices echoing in my mind, their words coated with suspicion and anger. I fought to defend what was ours, to stand for loyalty, for justice. But I was too late.The elder—an old, ruthless figure driven by greed and a hunger for absolute control—had seized power in a brutal coup. I remember the chaos, the betrayal that cut deeper than any physical wound. It was subtle at first—small shifts in leadership, whispers of dissent. But then came the truth I couldn’t believe: the elder, with his iron grip, had turned the pack against me.I was accused of something I didn’t do—an act of sabotage, an attack
