The Peace Ball was a huge success. The Grand Hall had been alive with music, laughter, and joy, the Pack members mingling and dancing until the early hours of the morning. Varieties of food and refreshments were in abundance. The chandeliers cast a golden glow over the revelers, their light reflecting off the glittering dresses and sharp suits, creating an almost magical atmosphere. The air was filled with the scent of roses and freshly made desserts, mingling with the perfumes worn by the Pack members. Conversations buzzed, and the sound of clinking glasses added to the festive ambiance.
As the night drew to a close and the guests began to leave, Rion and I quietly slipped away to check on Jinu. My heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and dread as we approached the room where we had left him. The corridor was eerily silent, a stark contrast to the joyful noise of the Grand Hall.
Rion opened the door cautiously, and we stepped inside. The sight

Jaselyn's POVLian looked stunned. “Yes, he is. How do you know?”Luna Daryna’s eyes filled with emotion. “Your mother, Arici, was my best friend.”Lian’s eyes softened, and a mixture of sadness and warmth filled them. “You knew my mother?”“Yes,” Luna Daryna said, her voice choked with emotion. “She was like a sister to me. We grew up together in the Redmond Pack. Before I married Alpha Xyne and became Luna of the Blue Solstice Pack, I was originally from the Redmond Pack. Arici and I were inseparable from childhood. She found her mate first—Kirk Redmond, your father. After I found my mate and moved to Blue Solstice, we lost contact. I had no idea you were her son.”Lian nodded, the memories clearly painful as he began to recount his past. “My mother died when I was six years old. After her death, my father took another mate. She had a son from a previous rel

Jaselyn’s POVAs soon as I opened my eyes, my head pounded and my vision was hazy, as if I were seeing the world through a thick fog. Slowly, the blurriness began to clear, and I became aware of the faint light filtering into the room. My thoughts were sluggish, struggling to piece together what had happened. I remembered being in the market, searching for a gift for Rion, and then….. nothing. My heart raced as I tried to make sense of the disjointed memories.As my vision sharpened, I realized I was in a strange place—a decently furnished living room, though unfamiliar. The room was dimly lit, with shadows clinging to the corners. The furniture was simple but well-kept: a couch, a coffee table, a few chairs. It looked ordinary, almost cozy, but the dread pooling in my stomach made it anything but.I tried to move, but my hands and legs were tied tightly to the chair I was sitting in. The ropes dug into my skin, rough and unforgiving. I winced

Jaselyn's POVBefore I could say anything, Zane took off his shirt, and I gasped in shock. There, on his chest, was a large scar, angry and jagged, marring his otherwise smooth skin. The wound was unmistakable— clearly a gunshot wound that had healed over time but still held the story of a violent and near-fatal injury.“This is from when I tried to escape five months ago,” Zane began, his voice strained with the memory. “I couldn’t stand being a prisoner any longer. With Nae’s help, I made a plan to leave the Pack, to find you and make things right. But Isla caught me. Blade was there too, and he didn’t hesitate. He shot me.”My hand flew to my mouth as I took in the sight of the scar, the reality of his words sinking in. He continued, his voice thick with the weight of the past.“I thought I was going to die, right there in the woods,” he said, his eyes distant, as if he were reliving the

Jaselyn's POV“I already have a mate, Zane, and you're not him. I'm in love with Rion, I'm happy with him and as you can see, we're going to be parents.” I spat out, annoyed by his pitiful display.He's behaving like the victim here. He's acting like he's the one that's had to go through hell despite never doing anything wrong. He's acting like he didn't bring Isla into our lives!Zane's eyes fell to my bump as if it was the first time he was actually noticing it. And his intense stare made me want to cover my stomach, to protect my children from him.“So he really did knock you up. That bastard, I thought he was my friend. I should have known he would want what's mine.” Zane gritted.“Are you deaf or just acting dumb? I'm not yours, Zane. I never was. You rejected me twice, we were never meant to be.”“You know what? It doesn't matter. I don't care if you're pregnant with that backstabber&rsqu

Jaselyn's POVAs Zane's tongue grazed the wound on my neck, a sickening thrill seemed to pulse through him. The sensation was vile, his tongue warm against my skin, tasting the blood he'd drawn as if savoring it. A twisted mockery of affection. I recoiled, every nerve in my body screaming in revulsion. My hands found the strength to shove him away, and the force of it surprised even me. But the disgust that flooded me drowned out any satisfaction.“Stay away from me!” I screamed, my voice breaking as the horror of the situation closed in on me. My blood, still fresh from the bite, slid in warm rivulets down my neck, staining the collar of my shirt. My hand instinctively flew to the wound, pressing against it as if I could somehow erase what had just happened.Zane stumbled back, not from the physical push—he was far too strong for that—but from the force of my words, my rejection. His eyes, cold and dark, seemed to pierce through me

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT DESCRIPTIONS OF RAPE, PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION.Jaselyn's POVHorror washed over me, cold and paralyzing, as the full weight of his words sank in. The reality of what he intended to do hit me like a physical blow, knocking the breath from my lungs. I thrashed beneath him, every muscle straining as I fought to break free. “No! Get off me!” I screamed, my voice raw with desperation. In a frantic bid to escape, I managed to knee him hard in the groin.He let out a guttural sound of pain, his grip on my wrists faltering just enough for me to wrench myself free. Heart pounding, I bolted from the bed, every instinct screaming at me to run, to get away before it was too late. But I barely made it a step before I felt his hand tangle in my hair, yanking me back with a force that sent pain shooting through my scalp.I cried out as he dragged me back to the bed, throwing me down with such violence

Jaselyn's POVBlood.It was trickling down my thighs, warm and sticky, pooling between my legs and staining the sheets beneath me. The sight of it sent a shockwave of terror through me, freezing my breath in my lungs and making my heart pound wildly against my ribs. I stared at the crimson stain, my mind racing, trying to process what I was seeing, what it meant.Panic surged through me like a jolt of electricity, setting every nerve on fire, my body reacting before my brain could catch up. My babies—was I losing one of them? Both of them?The thought hit me like a sledgehammer, the fear so raw and visceral that it almost made me vomit again. I needed to do something, anything, but I was paralyzed, trapped in my own body by the terror coursing through my veins.I tried to scream, to call for help, but the sound caught in my throat, choked by the overwhelming fear that I was losing them, that this nightmare was going to claim

Jaselyn's POVI screamed, the sound tearing from my throat, primal and raw, as my body was wracked with fresh pain. The noise was shrill and broken, a desperate wail that echoed off the walls and filled the room with a suffocating tension. Every muscle in my body screamed in protest as Zane shook me, his grip bruising my shoulders, jerking me back and forth like a rag doll. My head snapped back, my neck straining painfully, and my vision blurred with tears, making everything around me swim in a dizzying haze.It felt like my insides were being ripped apart, my body rebelling against the assault, every nerve on fire. My belly clenched violently, and a new wave of terror crashed over me. I could barely breathe, each gasp of air a jagged knife to my lungs. My limbs flailed weakly, trying to push him away, to make him stop, but I was too exhausted, too broken to fight back. I felt like I was drowning, suffocating under the weight of my own pain and fear, my hea

Celio's POV The wooden floor creaked under my knees as I scrubbed away at the dirt, pushing the rag back and forth with all the strength my small, 8 year old body could muster. The chill of the mountain wind seeped through the cracks in the old walls, biting at my skin. My hands were raw and red, the rough texture of the rag scraping against my knuckles. I didn’t mind. I didn’t mind the pain, the hunger gnawing at my stomach, or the loneliness that pressed on me like an iron weight. I was used to it.I glanced out the cracked window at the gray sky that mirrored my feelings. The little shack we lived in sat at the base of the mountain, far away from any Pack. Isla had always told me that it was better this way—away from the people who would look at me and know that I wasn’t wanted, that I was abandoned by the very woman who should have loved me most.“Your mother didn’t want you, Celio,” Isla would say, her voice sharp and filled with disdain. “She threw you away like you were nothing

Luka's POV The day started out like any other. Mika, Sawyer, and I were playing in the woods behind the palace, chasing each other through the trees, our laughter echoing in the air. At seven years old, we were pretending to be fierce wolves on a hunt, leaping over fallen logs and dodging branches. It was perfect, like it always was when we were together.But then everything changed in an instant.I heard the thud first—a sound so sharp and heavy that it made my heart skip a beat. I stopped and turned around, the world seeming to move in slow motion as I saw Mika crumple to the ground, his face twisted in pain.“Mika!” I shouted, racing back to him. The sight that met me made my stomach lurch. His leg was twisted at an odd angle, and there was blood—so much blood—pouring out of a long, deep gash along his shin. It covered the grass, bright and red, and kept coming. I couldn’t breathe.Sawyer came running up, her eyes huge and frightened as she saw the blood. “Luka, what happened?” sh

Jaselyn's POV I took his hand, and he pulled me close, holding me from behind as we swayed gently to the music. His lips brushed my ear as he whispered, “You’re beautiful, you know that? Even after everything, you’re still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And I’m the luckiest man alive to have you.”Tears pricked my eyes, but they weren’t tears of sadness this time. They were tears of happiness, of gratitude. “Rion… you don’t know how much that means to me.”He kissed my neck softly. “You mean everything to me, Jas.”Suddenly, the music stopped, and a projector flickered on. I turned to see a slideshow of pictures—our memories together. Photos of us when we first arrived at the Pack, a few of the whole family, some from the day of our mating ceremony, which also doubled with the coronation, pictures of us as Alpha and Luna at a few events, including one of us at the Peace Ball. Pictures of me with the twins when they were born and finally, pictures of us with Luka and Mika. I

Jaselyn’s POVExhausted didn’t even begin to cover how I felt. I was beyond it. No, it was more like EXHAUSTED in capital letters, underlined and bold. It had been a few days since Luka and Mika were born, and though I’d prepared myself for the sleepless nights and constant feeding, nothing could have readied me for the complete overwhelm of being a new mother to two newborns at the same time. Rion helped as much as he could. He was always there, doing everything in his power to make things easier for me. But there was only so much even he could do. There were things I had to handle myself—breastfeeding, comforting them when they both decided to cry at the same time, managing the constant pain in my body that hadn’t fully recovered from the trauma of childbirth.Luka was a good feeder. He latched on almost immediately, eager to nurse, but Mika wasn’t doing as well. He struggled with breastfeeding, and that meant more time spent trying to get him to eat, more time stressing about whet
Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha Chapter 258
Jaselyn's POVFive years have passed since the birth of our twin boys.And in those years, Luka and Mika had grown into mischievous, spirited children who constantly kept me on my toes. They were inseparable, their bond unbreakable, and they moved through life with a shared sense of curiosity and adventure.Completely identical, they inherited the dominant Solstice genes with their ebony black hair, deep green eyes, and strikingly beautiful features. They were so similar in appearance that even their grandmother couldn’t tell them apart.Only Rion and I could tell which was Luka and which was Mika, and the boys often used this to their advantage, tricking everyone around them. But when they weren’t up to mischief, they were the sweetest children imaginable—kind, considerate, and always eager to bring a smile to my face.They were the best of friends, always looking out for each other. If one fell ill,

Rion's POV“That’s it, Luna,” the midwife encouraged. “The hardest part is over. Just one more push, and we’ll have him out.”Jaselyn nodded weakly, her face pale and slick with sweat. She gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling as she summoned the last of her strength. With a final, desperate scream, she pushed again, her body arching off the bed as she bore down with everything she had left.The baby slipped free with a gush of fluid and blood, his tiny body wriggling and slick in the midwife’s hands. “It’s a boy!” she announced, holding him up for us to see, his loud, piercing cries filling the room.My heart swelled with emotion as I gazed at our son, his tiny face scrunched up in a wail, his fists clenched and shaking. Tears blurred my vision as I looked at Jaselyn. “He’s beautiful,” I choked out, my voice thick with emotion. “Jas, you did it. You gave us a

Rion's POVI slammed my fist against the desk, sending papers flying. The frustration had been building for months, and now it was boiling over. "Dammit!" I cursed, pacing the room in a futile attempt to calm myself. We had conquered the Rain Forest Pack with ease, but it had been a hollow victory. Hadrian, that fool, had chosen to die rather than betray his cousin, Isla. He'd poisoned himself before we could get any information out of him. Another dead end.The Fishers were a twisted bunch. Part of me relished the thought of wiping them out for good, to rid the world of their poison. Isla had slipped through our fingers, and I was beginning to fear we’d never find her. If I could only get my hands on her, I would make her pay for taking Celio. She would wish she had never been born.Blade had been another disappointment, another dead end in our search for Celio. We had pushed him to his absolute limits, hoping that the pain and pressure would force

Jaselyn's POV“Maybe we could…shower together?” I suggested hesitantly. “It might help me relax.”Rion smiled softly, his eyes filled with understanding. “That sounds like a great idea. Come on, let’s get cleaned up.”We both undressed completely, and I followed him into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, adjusting the water temperature until it was just right, then we stepped under the warm spray together.The water cascaded over us, washing away the tension and the grime from the day. Rion wrapped his arms around me from behind, holding me close as the water streamed down our bodies. I leaned back against him, feeling the steady beat of his heart against my back. His touch was gentle, his hands moving over my skin with care, never lingering too long in one place.He washed my hair, his fingers massaging my scalp in slow, soothing circles. I closed my eyes, letting myself relax under
Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha Chapter 254
Jaselyn's POVI agreed to see Nae, but only because I needed to know if she could give me any information about where Isla might have taken Celio. It was my only lead, and I wasn’t about to let it slip through my fingers, no matter how much I despised Nae.Before heading to see her, I turned to Rion. His clothes were torn and stained with dirt and blood from the battle. He looked tired, and I could see the weariness in his eyes despite his usual confident stance. He needed rest, and he needed to be taken care of. After everything he had done for me, it was the least I could do for him.“Come with me,” I said softly, taking his hand. I led him back to our bedroom, feeling a mixture of nerves and determination. “Rion, I want our lives to go back to normal,” I began, my voice wavering slightly. “I want to feel close to you again.”He looked at me with a mix of surprise and concern. “Jas, you don’t h
