“So, you picked this place because of its sentimental value?” I teased, my voice laced with a hint of irritation. It was clear that Bellamy was deliberately being unpleasant. Frederick and I had often come here, even after we were married, making it a spot with personal significance.

Bellamy chuckled, munching on his food. “Frederick could’ve chosen a more impressive first date,” he said, his comment tinged with sarcasm. His meal was pricey, and it looked like he might have used a Winona card to cover it.

“You obviously knew that,” I shot back. “You understand us so well, it’s almost a bit unsettling.” It was apparent that Bellamy had a deep grasp of Frederick, me, and the dynamics of our pack, which made me uneasy.

“Oh, I do,” he said, a sly smile playing on his lips. “Who do you think paid your tab that night?” He noticed that everyone was more focused on his drink than his plate, so he pushed his plate aside. I reached out to remove his hand from the top of his beer bottle as he c

    He slid a blister pack of pills across the table, and my eyes flicked to it briefly before meeting his confident grin. “Hey, would Christabel change your mind?”“How did you manage to get that?” I asked, a shiver running down my spine. It had been ages since I last saw Christabel, let alone took it.“It’s all about family,” Bellamy said, his voice suddenly devoid of humor. The warmth of his earlier demeanor was gone, replaced by a cold, detached tone. His “happy couple” charade had evaporated, leaving behind a man who expected me to obey. His tone was sharp, as if he was stripping me bare.“Oh, I see,” I replied, leaning back in my chair with my arms crossed. “We can add drug dealers to the list of things I didn’t expect from you.”“Christabel is for people who don’t really care about rules,” Bellamy said, his tone cold and dismissive. He spoke of how the drug moved through clubs like air and how Coke was the most valuable company in America. “You can take it now or later.”“Nah, but

    “I’m not doing it,” I said firmly, though my voice trembled. Bellamy abruptly grabbed a handful of my hair, yanking it towards him and pulling me closer. I struggled to find my words, the proximity making it hard to think clearly.“You will,” he said, his tone brooking no argument. I reached out instinctively, feeling his chest beneath my hands. He stared into my eyes, as if trying to see past the surface to my very soul, his gaze tinged with a strange blend of cruelty and pity. “He won’t know the person you’ve become.” His words felt like daggers. “A traitor, killer, and adulteress,” I retorted, the bitterness in my voice clear. He released his grip, and I swiftly moved to create some distance between us. His determination to break us apart, to inflict pain and destruction, was evident. If I weren’t as sharp and resourceful, his relentless drive would undoubtedly lead to our downfall.It was unfortunate that I had to endure Bellamy’s twisted game until Jamie could find a way into thi

    “Do you enjoy it when I wrap my hands around your neck?” Bellamy’s voice was calm, but there was a dark satisfaction in his tone. He closed his eyes briefly, as if savoring the discomfort he inflicted on me and anyone around. “So, what’s the purpose? Can this thing bite and scratch? Does it hurt to have a dad?” His words were becoming a blur as I prepared to leave. His presence loomed in front of me, growing fainter with each step I took away.“Guess what? Frederick knows all about what I did to you last night!” The words cut through the fog of my thoughts as Bellamy released his grip just enough for me to catch a breath. He kept me in place, his lips dangerously close to mine, his warm breath brushing against my skin. The pain was sharp, his hands gripping my jaw so tightly that a moan escaped my lips despite my efforts to suppress it. I knew any response would only fuel his twisted satisfaction, so I remained silent, not wanting to give him the pleasure of seeing the mark he left on

    “The stuff he mentioned about what he’d do to you,” Frederick said, breathless as if he had just run a marathon. “He showed up here last night.”“This all happened because of me,” I said, my voice heavy with guilt. I was shocked by the realization. “You should’ve just let him come after me for what I did, Frederick. He almost completely messed you up!”“I couldn’t let him lay a finger on you, Anastasia,” Frederick replied, his eyes filled with a mix of pain and resolve. Bellamy’s relentless cruelty was a twisted form of retaliation for Frederick's actions against Darius’s child. They had inflicted suffering on Frederick to get to me, believing that causing us pain would somehow make a difference. I was the target because Bellamy thought it would hurt Frederick more. I could endure it, but I couldn’t bear the thought of him taking Frederick away from me.“Can’t trust a word he says,” I muttered. “Always lying.” I was well aware of Bellamy’s deceitful nature. Despite everything, I wante

    Watching how effortlessly these guys could take down someone who couldn’t defend themselves made it clear just how wild they truly were. If Jamie didn’t show up soon, I was on the verge of taking matters into my own hands with Bellamy. It was becoming a desperate choice, him or me.I found myself in my room, trying to pass the time in the only way I knew—sitting still and observing the world through a haze of helplessness. Despite the house’s grim circumstances, it stubbornly persevered. Unlike a movie or a story, I couldn’t fast-forward or pause the anguish. It felt as though I was sinking into concrete, weighed down by a crushing sense of dread. Every passing moment seemed more unbearable than the last.My gaze wandered to the wall pictures of Frederick and me, each one a frozen moment of joy and serenity. Those images taunted me with their innocence, stirring a bitter storm of sadness and anger inside me. The weight of regret pressed heavily on my chest.I was teetering on the edge

    “Sure, why not? If I decide to go, I'll join you.” Zen's words felt like a punch to the gut. Aunt Margo popped into my mind immediately. She always seemed to end up with Zen. It made sense, though—she's always been the one looking out for our family's safety, no matter the cost.“I’ll spare your pack, including Frederick, because I know losing you would be even more devastating for him than death.” His words hit home. Frederick would be shattered, but it was a fate preferable to death. I knew it in my bones. Before I showed up, Frederick had lived a carefree life, completely unburdened. The thought of him struggling just because of me was almost too much to bear. “Just thinking about you being with someone else... not knowing if they’re still around or not?” The idea twisted in my gut, a sharp, painful reminder of my place in this mess. “How can I trust that you’ll actually leave them alone?” I wondered aloud, feeling defeated. It seemed like my only option was to go along with him.

    Nereus “Hey, Cassius!” I coughed to get his attention. My throat was scratchy and dry from lack of water, and the stench of blood in the room made me feel queasy. “So, how many guards are we talking about?”Cassius glanced up, his face drawn. “He used to pay more attention to us, but now it’s like one or two guards an hour, and he’s completely checked out.” His voice was almost casual, though his eyes betrayed his frustration. “He started with five guys per hour, and now we’re down to this. I guess he thought he’d outsmart us. His brain’s working harder than he intended, handling the logistics.”We were deep in the cellars, the dank atmosphere providing an eerie backdrop to our conversation. I strained to listen to the faint sound of footsteps echoing from the floors above, trying to stay focused despite the disorienting conditions. “Yeah, he’s pretty chill,” I said, my voice tinged with a mix of resignation and defiance. We hadn’t anticipated being turned against each other like thi

    Nereus “Sure, I’ll do my best to make sure your sister doesn’t leave the property,” Jewel said, his voice steady despite the chaos.“Huh?” I was caught off guard as he released my chains from their anchor and helped me to my feet. I shut my eyes briefly, trying to steady myself.“Beale is interested in bringing her back to the United States,” Jewel added. “Hey, can you please speed things up with Jamie? I can’t prevent Bellamy from leaving, but I can delay him.” My anxiety surged at the thought of leaving Anastasia behind, but I had no other choice. I carefully positioned Frederick on my shoulder, offering him whatever support I could. I nodded at Cassius, silently hoping he would hold his ground until we returned. Jewel opened the door, and we caught a glimpse of the grounds outside. The trees were bathed in the light of the full moon, casting long, eerie shadows. We had a daunting ten miles of field and bush to traverse before we could find any real help....Nereus As I trudged

    As Frederick closed in on Zion, his eyes burned with a fierce desire for revenge. The effects of the sickness still lingered, fueling his rage. “I’ll get you, you traitor!” Frederick roared, his voice echoing with anger.Zion, though fully aware of the gravity of the situation, fought not just for his own survival but for the peace they all desperately sought. “Anastasia only needs you, Frederick!” he pleaded. “Don’t let your anger destroy everything we’ve worked for!”Just as Frederick was about to strike, a voice cut through the chaos. “Hey, hold up!”Anastasia stepped between them, her eyes a mixture of sadness and resolve. “Frederick, come on!” she called out, her voice trembling with a blend of fear and determination. “We need to find another way.”But Frederick, driven by rage, didn’t even glance her way. His focus remained fixed on Zion, and he ignored her plea.Desperate to reach Frederick, Anastasia called out again. “Frederick, it’s me! It’s Anastasia!” Her voice was laced w

    “She’s with Zion,” I said casually, watching his face change as fear and anger flashed across his features.“Who is Zion?” His confusion was clear, and I could see that talking about my sister was only making things worse. My hesitation to be completely honest had led us here, but I had to face the consequences.“Xandriel’s kid,” I explained. The fear in Frederick’s eyes was unmistakable. The gravity of the situation was sinking in.Frederick’s frustration flared again. “Are you serious?” he demanded, his voice rising. “Where are they?”“Hey, Frederick, let’s just hang tight,” I said, trying to calm him. “We’ve got a plan, and I’m confident it’s going to work. You’ve got to trust me on this one.” To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I believed myself, but Victor was our last hope. If this plan failed, it would be the end of the line.“I’m here to lend a hand and sort this out,” Frederick pleaded as I removed the final sensors from him, triggering the beeping monitors once more. Despite his

    “You’re not feeling well,” I said nonchalantly, not even bothering to look at him. It was like fate had led us to this moment. It was wild to think we’d end up here, but it felt like it was meant to be.Frederick let out an exasperated sigh, clearly uncomfortable. “I’ve never been sick,” he said, sounding both frustrated and bewildered. The bed creaked as he shifted, and the sheets rustled around him.“Hey, there’s a first time for everything. Just chill,” I advised, watching as he struggled to sit up. To my surprise, he actually listened, though it was clear the pain was taking its toll. “You’re not the strongest, but that’s totally fine.”“I can’t be weak,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, as he noticed the IV tubes snaking into his arms. The sight of him, once a formidable Warrior, now so vulnerable, was unsettling.I was still angry as he said, “You would either be this way or dead.” The room fell into a heavy silence as he stared at me, his expression one of confusi

    When Darius mentioned dinner plans, Zion grabbed my arm and pulled me away, his urgency almost making me forget we were pretending. As we walked down the hallway, Darius called out, “This party is going to be one for the books!” I clung to Zion, gripping his wrists for support. My mind raced, trying to take in my surroundings in case things went wrong. Zion guided me into a bedroom and closed the door behind us, marking the end of what felt like an interminable journey.“Hugo,” I breathed, my anxiety spiking as I turned to face Zion. Hugo seemed like a real threat to our plans. “Nah, Zion, I just can’t—I really can’t.”Darius’s voice was reassuring as he said, “I won’t let him lay a finger on you, Anastasia. You just have to trust me.” He mentioned a dinner with friends to celebrate Victor, just as Zion had said. “Just gotta get through dinner, and our armies will be here.”I shook my head slightly, grabbing Zion by the shirt. “Can’t stop him. He’s a force to be reckoned with.” Hugo

    “Oh, it’s for Frederick,” I said casually. His name stumbled awkwardly off my tongue. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I wished we could just be together as we should be—he was the only one I truly loved. We started this journey together. When Frederick wakes up, I’ll be gone, and I have no clue how he’ll handle that.Zion’s curiosity piqued, “How do you do this? Despite everything that’s happened, you still think it’ll get better?” He seemed to have his own scars, a hint of betrayal in his voice.“One day, there’s gotta be a light in the dark,” I replied, trying to stay hopeful. “I didn’t come all this way just to stop now.”Zion placed his hand over mine on the middle console, a casual gesture but one that held a lot of weight. “You good to go? Can you trust me?”“Yeah, I don’t,” I admitted. Looking back, trusting him seemed like my only option. Tomorrow could be a game-changer for Frederick. It’s funny—never thought I’d be the one to take down Winona. Many had tried before me an

    “I’ve got a couple of things to mention,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “My aunt Margo gets away with it. Frederick keeps his distance. I don’t want him anywhere near them.” I gave a nod to indicate that was settled.“Yeah, I agree,” Zion said, casually crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. “He won’t be waking up for a few days. Diego has enough power to keep him out for a while. Can we wrap this up?” His casual demeanor masked the gravity of the situation as I paced back and forth in front of Nereus, discussing our sneaky plan.“I can work as quickly as you need me to, sweetheart,” Zion assured, though the term of endearment stung. I felt a pang of guilt for going behind Frederick’s back while he lay unconscious, the weight of my actions heavy on my conscience. “This is our only chance. If we mess this up, we’re all going to end up six feet under on that Winona farm. This is our one shot, so we’d better not blow it.”“So, what’s the game plan?” I asked, trying to f

    Curiosity nudged me as I trailed behind Diego and the others. “Do you think he’ll remember anything he did while the wolf was in control?” I asked casually, my voice barely above a whisper.“No way,” Jamie replied. That was the answer I’d hoped for. The thought that he wouldn’t remember my lies or the sting of the needle brought a small, bitter relief. Still, the guilt gnawed at me for causing him pain. Cassius stayed close, a quiet presence as we watched Frederick being carried down the hallway.“You did the right thing,” Cassius said softly, as if sensing my turmoil. But something felt off. The pain of betrayal cut deep, a raw ache I had never experienced before. The treachery felt like a knife twisting inside me.“I wish it didn’t hurt so much,” I whispered, trying to shove the painful memory aside. Suddenly, Nereus burst back up the stairs, blocking our path.“Hey, Anastasia, you might want to come downstairs,” Nereus said, his voice tinged with unease. I shot a look at Cassius, w

    Eventually, footsteps roused me from my restless sleep, guiding me to the other side of the bedroom door. When Frederick walked in, I let out a sigh of relief. The deep concern I felt for him was overwhelming, and I could barely stand it."I swung by Diego's office first, but you weren’t there," Frederick said casually, loosening his tie. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the nagging thought of that ring sitting untouched in the desk drawer."I'm feeling much better," I said, forcing a smile. If he’d been paying attention, he’d have seen through the lie."I noticed that," he remarked, unbuttoning his shirt with a relaxed air. I shifted restlessly on the bed, trying to play it cool and hoping he wouldn’t catch on."Where have you been?" Frederick chuckled as if it was the most ridiculous question. "I got a bit concerned when you weren’t around when I woke up.""I left Rollo to take care of you," I said, watching as he turned away. He placed his rings on the desk and reached for two ne

    I tread carefully, trying to avoid rushing and risk encountering more trouble at the cellar stairs. The silence around me was eerie, and I kept my eyes sharp, scanning for any sign of danger. My mind flitted to the idea of calling my dad, but I hesitated. I didn’t want him dragged into this mess, fearing he might try to drag me back home. Maybe it was pride, or maybe it was the fear of his interference.Then there was Estelle. I thought about her growing up, reaching her prime, and hoped she’d never have to rely on her body like I had. It was comforting, though, to see her following in her father’s footsteps in her own way, even if it wasn’t ideal."Anastasia?" I heard Nereus’s faint voice. I picked up the pace, jogging towards the sound. As I rounded the corner, I saw the boys restrained in separate corners, but Nereus was the only one awake."Nereus?" I knelt beside him and quickly worked on untying the ropes burning his wrists. They smelled strongly of wolfsbane. "What did those pe
