The air in the hospital waiting room was tense. Adrian paced back and forth, his boots thudding heavily against the tiled floor. Matteo sat slouched in a chair, rubbing his temple, while Nathan leaned against the wall, his arms crossed and face pale.

Adrian stopped abruptly and glared at them. “How the hell did this happen? You were supposed to protect her!”

Nathan’s jaw tightened. “I didn’t know she’d jump in front of a knife for me, Adrian. She—she didn’t give me a choice.”

“Bullshit!” Adrian roared, his fists clenching at his sides. “You always have a choice. You should’ve been faster, smarter—”

“She’s alive because of me!” Nathan snapped, his voice rising to match Adrian’s. “If I wasn’t there, she’d be dead already.”

Matteo stood, raising a hand. “Enough, both of you. This isn’t helping. Let’s focus on her.”

Adrian shot Matteo a look but stayed silent. The truth was, his anger wasn’t just at them—it was at himself. He should’ve been there. He should’ve protected her.

    The room was quiet, save for the beeping of the machines that surrounded Selena. Adrian sat beside her bed, his eyes tired and full of worry. His hands were clasped tightly together, and his jaw was clenched. He hadn’t slept or eaten for days, only staying by her side, watching over her, praying she would wake up. But now, the quiet seemed deafening.As his gaze shifted toward her, a memory from his past suddenly hit him, sending a cold chill through his body. It was a memory he had tried to bury for years, but now, it felt like a reminder of everything he had lost and everything he feared he could lose again.He remembered two years ago when his parents were murdered.The sound of the door to the hospital room had creaked open, and Adrian had slowly stepped inside, his heart heavy with dread. He had been called in the middle of the night. His mother had been gone. The world had seemed to freeze around him, and his feet had felt like they had been stuck in place. The sterile scent of

    Adrian stood up suddenly, his chair scraping loudly against the hospital floor. Selena blinked, confused, her hand instinctively reaching out toward him. He didn’t look at her, didn’t even pause. He just stood up from the bed, straightened himself, and walked toward the door without a word. “Adrian?” Selena called weakly, her voice barely a whisper as she pushed herself up with difficulty. Her body still ached from the injury, but her heart hurt more as she saw him walking away. “Where are you going?” she asked, her voice trembling.He stopped at the door, his back still turned to her. “I’ll be back soon,” he said, his words flat, emotionless. Without looking at her, he opened the door and stepped out of the room. The door clicked shut behind him, and the silence in the room seemed to grow louder, wrapping around Selena like a heavy blanket.She sat there for a long time, staring at the door he had left through. Her thoughts were jumbled, her emotions a mess. She had been hurt, confu

    The morning light crept through the sheer curtains of the mansion, casting a soft glow on the polished floors. Selena sat in the sunlit dining room, poking at the untouched breakfast laid out in front of her. The food, as always, was perfect, yet her appetite had vanished. Her thoughts were consumed by Adrian—where he was, why he hadn’t come home yet. The ache in her chest deepened with every passing hour of silence.The sound of heels clicking on the floor broke the stillness. Selena glanced up to see Valerie entering the room. Her best friend looked as flawless as ever, her fitted dress exuding elegance like shed always did in college. Yet today, her usual air of confidence was tinged with something softer, almost hesitant.“Good morning,” Valerie greeted, her voice warm yet careful. She pulled out a chair and sat beside Selena, resting her manicured hands gently on the table.“Morning,” Selena replied quietly, forcing a small smile.Valerie studied her with the keen, perceptive gaz

    The sound of laughter and the soft hum of music filled the grand ballroom. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a golden glow over the sea of elegantly dressed attendees. The charity event was one of the year’s most anticipated gatherings, a night for the wealthy and influential to mingle under the guise of doing good.Selena stood near the entrance, her fitted emerald-green gown flowing gracefully around her. Her hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face, and a delicate diamond necklace adorned her neck. Despite her outward poise, she felt uneasy. This wasn’t her world—it was Adrian’s. Yet tonight, he wasn’t by her side.Instead, Nathan stood beside her, his black suit tailored to perfection. His usual cocky demeanor was replaced by something more restrained, almost protective, as if he could sense her discomfort.“Relax,” Nathan said, leaning in slightly. “It’s just a room full of rich people pretending to care about charity. You’ll be fine.”Selena couldn’t help

    Selena blinked, her heart pounding in her chest. Adrian’s words hung in the air, sharp and cold, cutting through the noise of the ballroom behind them. “What?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Adrian’s hand lingered for a moment before he pulled it back, his expression unreadable. “You know what I mean,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “You betrayed me.” Selena stepped back, the weight of his accusation pressing down on her. “Adrian, I didn’t—” He raised a hand, stopping her. “I saw the way you were with Nathan tonight. Laughing, smiling, touching his arm like it was nothing. Do you have any idea what that felt like?” Her brows knitted together, confusion mingling with anger. “He was being kind because you weren’t there,” she shot back, her voice rising. “You left me to fend for myself in a room full of people I don’t belong with. What was I supposed to do? Stand in a corner and disappear?” Adrian’s jaw tightened, his hands clenched at his sides. “You co

    The dining room in Adrian’s mansion was as grand as the rest of the house. A long wooden table stretched across the room, surrounded by tall chairs covered in dark leather. A glittering chandelier hung overhead, lighting up the table where plates of fancy food were arranged neatly. The delicious smell filled the air.Upstairs, Selena stood in front of her mirror, adjusting her dress. Tonight wasn’t just any dinner. It was a meeting of Adrian’s closest allies—the people who helped him run his gang. She wasn’t excited about it. When she came down the large staircase, Adrian was waiting at the bottom. He was dressed sharply, his suit fitting perfectly. His serious face softened as he saw her. A small smile appeared.“You look beautiful,” he said, holding out his arm.“Thank you,” Selena replied, taking his arm with a faint smile of her own.When they entered the dining room, a few guests were already seated. Matteo, usually full of jokes, looked serious tonight. Beside him sat Valerie,

    Selena sat by the large window in her room, her thoughts swirling. She rested her forehead against the glass, trying to make sense of her feelings. Adrian had barely spoken to her after dinner. His cold demeanor left her uneasy. Nathan’s words from the terrace echoed in her mind. You don’t belong in this world... You deserve better.But what did "better" even mean? Selena wasn’t sure anymore. Downstairs, Adrian stood in the study, staring out at the gardens. His sharp gray eyes scanned the horizon, though his thoughts were miles away. Matteo entered, shutting the door behind him. “She’s still quiet,” Matteo said, crossing his arms. “Barely ate breakfast.” Adrian didn’t turn around. “I know.” Matteo hesitated before speaking again. “Nathan’s a problem.” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “He’s always been a problem.” “You’re letting him get too close,” Matteo warned. “Selena doesn’t know what he’s doing, but you do. She trusts him because he’s good at pretending to care.” Adrian f

    The mansion was looked and felt calm, but everyone was walking on tiptoes. Adrian and Nathan had been at each other’s throats for weeks, and tonight felt like it was about to explode. Everyone inside the house moved in hushed silence, heads low, avoiding the tension crackling between the two men. Valerie, who normally didn’t care to involve herself, knew better than to step in the middle of this storm. Selena, sitting in the library with a book in her hands, couldn’t focus. She tried to lose herself in the words, but every time she tried to turn the page, her mind would drift back to the mess between Adrian and Nathan. Their relationship had always been strained, but now it felt like they were two ticking time bombs, just waiting for the other to explode. Nathan was reckless, constantly challenging Adrian, while Adrian, hated being challenged. The argument in Adrian’s study started as a murmur, but it quickly escalated. Selena put the book aside, her heart racing. She didn’t need to

    The hospital smelled of antiseptic and fear.Selena sat in the hallway, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, Adrian beside her, silent. The last hour had felt like a lifetime. Paramedics had managed to stabilize Nathan, but the bullet had done damage, too close to his lungs. Now, he was in surgery, fighting for his life.“He saved me,” Selena whispered, her voice barely audible. “He could have let me die... after everything...”Adrian turned his head slowly, eyes shadowed with guilt and pain. “He wasn’t always a traitor.”“He’s still your cousin.”Adrian’s jaw clenched. “And he was still working with the woman who tried to destroy us.”Selena didn’t argue. Because he wasn’t wrong but neither was she.“I want to see her,” she said suddenly, her tone sharp.“Who?” Adrian asked.“Isabella.”---The police had taken Isabella into custody, but Adrian still had strings to pull. Within the hour, Selena stood behind a pane of glass, watching the woman who had nearly taken everything from

    Isabella's phone buzzed sharply that evening. She answered without checking. The voice on the other end made her sit up straighter.“It’s done,” Your father said. “He was one of them. Adrian’s sister, she was caught in our crossfire that year.”Isabella gasped, hand flying to her mouth. “Are you serious?”“She trusted one of us. And it got her killed.”Isabella’s shock quickly twisted into excitement. “Adrian doesn’t know, does he?”“He doesn’t. But you can change that. Leave a trail. Let him find it himself. If he connects the dots, he’ll never look at Selene the same again.”A slow, dangerous smile spread across Isabella’s face. “Consider it done.”She ended the call and practically flew out the door, her mind racing. She reached Nathan’s place breathless and laughing.“I’ve got it,” she said, barging in.Nathan raised an eyebrow. “What?”“The information that will destroy them more. Since they have reconcile too quickly, I have found something to break them back. Adrian’s sister’s

    Adrian stood by the window of his study, hands clasped behind his back. He hadn’t slept.Not out of fear or restlessness, but because his mind was already three steps ahead—plotting, calculating, ensuring no detail escaped him. The blueprint sat in a locked briefcase on his desk, untouched since he'd retrieved it from the safe.Every line on that paper held power. Power people had killed for. Power that could dismantle empires or birth new ones.A soft knock disrupted his thoughts.He turned, voice low. “Come in.”Matteo entered, freshly changed, though his knuckles were still stained red. “The chamber is secured. Both men are restrained. Specter’s injuries are worse, but they’ll live.”Adrian nodded once. “No one gets near them unless I authorize it.”“Understood.”Matteo hesitated. “And the court tomorrow—are you sure it’s wise to go yourself?”“I won’t trust this to anyone else,” Adrian said, his voice like steel. “Too much has been sacrificed for it. I need to see it through.”Ma

    Silence.Not the peaceful kind that comes after a storm, but the haunting type, the one that settles over a place that has seen too much blood, too much loss. The kind of silence that screams.Adrian stood in the middle of the aftermath.His estate, his home was now a battlefield littered with corpses. Blood pooled around bodies, soaking into the soil, painting a gruesome picture of what had transpired only moments ago. He didn’t flinch. His eyes were steady, scanning the carnage with a sharpness that betrayed no emotion. He had seen worse. But he had never tolerated betrayal.His boots crunched over gravel and glass as he moved, his gaze settling on one of the only bodies that still drew breath. The figure was barely conscious, chest rising and falling in shallow, labored intervals. A black veil obscured the face.Adrian narrowed his eyes.There was something about this one.He crouched slowly, his movements controlled, almost calculated. He reached forward, fingers tightening aroun

    Matteo blinked hard, blood draining from his face the moment Rosco stepped out from behind Alvarez. His breath hitched, and for the first time in a long while, the hardened warrior faltered.“No…” he whispered.Rosco smirked, eyes gleaming with venomous satisfaction. “Hello, Matteo. Still wagging your tail behind him, I see.”Matteo took a step forward instinctively, but Adrian raised a hand, his arm sweeping across Matteo’s chest to stop him. The motion was subtle but firm.Matteo’s chest heaved with betrayal, his eyes fixed on Rosco. “You were with us… you trained with us.”Rosco chuckled, slow and condescending, before turning to Adrian, the amusement on his face deepening.“But him?” Rosco nodded toward Adrian. “He trusted me. Gave me everything. Took me into his inner circle. Showed me where the real power lies.”Adrian arched a brow, his expression unreadable.“Power?” he echoed, voice cool and distant. “What power?”Rosco sneered, reaching behind him.With a flourish, he reveal

    Nathan stood by the window, his arms crossed as he watched another group of Adrian’s men load ammunition into vehicles. He didn’t like the feeling in his gut.“What the hell is he planning?” he muttered, more to himself than anyone else.Isabella sat on the edge of the couch, scrolling through her phone in frustration. “Victoria still isn’t answering. I’ve called her five times.”Nathan’s brows furrowed. “She’s not the type to ignore calls but since it is yours she can definitely ignore you. Isabella tossed the phone beside her and stood. “Something is going on, Nathan. This silence… this secrecy, it’s not just about protecting the pack. Adrian is hiding something.”Nathan’s gaze flickered to her, unreadable. “Then maybe it’s better we stay out of it.”Isabella looked at him, stunned. “You’re just going to sit back and do nothing?”He shrugged slightly. “It’s not my fight. Adrian made that clear a long time ago. And honestly? I’m not about to throw myself into a war that has nothin

    A large map was spread out before them, covered in markings and notes detailing every inch of the Ghosted’s operations.“The celebration will end soon,” Alvarez muttered, his fingers tracing a key location. “Their leader thinks he’s untouchable, but his arrogance will be his downfall.”The masked leader tilted his head slightly. “You want him dead, or do you have something else in mind?”Alvarez smirked. “Dead, but not yet. I want him to watch as everything he built crumbles first.”The leader nodded in understanding. “Then we’ll strike fast and without mercy. We have our entry points secured. The Ghosted will never see it coming.”Meanwhile, deep within Adrian’s pack territory, the Ghosted were moving ahead with their own plans, Their informants had pinpointed a potential weakness in the pack’s security—an underground passage leading to a hidden vault where the blueprint was rumored to be stored.Three elite members of the Ghosted, clad in dark tactical gear, crouched near the pass

    The Cartel had been shattered, And yet, amid the wreckage, Alvarez still drew breath.His body ached, every nerve screaming in agony as he forced himself to move. He pressed a hand to his bleeding side, the warm, sticky sensation of his own blood soaking through his fingers. The pain was nothing compared to the fury burning in his chest. He had been played. The Ghosted, his supposed allies, had turned against him at the last moment, throwing the battlefield into complete chaos. But why? Who had ordered this betrayal?His fingers curled into fists as he staggered forward, his boots crunching against shattered glass and spent shell casings. He needed to find answers. He needed to find the one who had orchestrated this disaster.A low groan echoed from the rubble. Alvarez turned sharply, gun raised, but his aim wavered when he saw who it was—one of the masked assassins, barely alive, clutching a deep wound in his stomach. Blood seeped through his gloves as he struggled to breathe, his ma

    The air vibrated with gunfire, screams, and the rhythmic thunder of boots pounding against the cracked asphalt. The war had begun.Mikhail, the ruthless leader of the Monadikos, stood atop the ruins of an old industrial complex, his sharp gaze cutting through the chaos unfolding below. His fingers clenched into a fist as he watched his men swarm the abandoned shipyard where the Cartel had foolishly stationed their latest shipment of illicit arms. The plan was simple, wipe them out, seize the weapons, and cripple their operations."Push forward! No mercy!" he bellowed, his voice slicing through the night.His men responded with a battle cry, surging ahead like a tidal wave of vengeance. Gunfire erupted from every angle. Sparks flew as bullets ricocheted off rusted shipping containers, and the metallic scent of gunpowder thickened in the air. The Cartel, caught off guard by the ferocity of the attack, scrambled to mount a defense.****Alvarez, the cold and calculating leader of the Car
