~HUNTER.

Stopping mid-way in such an intense moment with Nadia was very unlike me. As I ordered her to get into some clothes, her expression soured.

Her frustration was clear, a look I hated to see on her beautiful face. However, I couldn't wait a minute to appease her. I grabbed my shirt and headed for the door.

My steps on the polished marble floor were heavy, mirroring my anticipation of finally finding Selena. Bringing her back home where she belongs.

Once before the large door of my study, I pushed it open and entered. My gaze immediately fell on Liam. Standing beside him was an unfamiliar face, looking battered as if he had wrestled with lions. I could sense he wasn't a werewolf, possibly human, and that made a slight frown settle on my face.

“What's he doing here? Who is he?" I asked, utterly confused.

“He's the man we saw with Selena's phone. But he's denying knowing about Selena's disappearance," Liam explained, and a low growl escaped my lips as I moved closer to the ma

    ~SELENABeeping sounds filtered into my hazy state as I fluttered my eyelids open, squinting in between as I tried adjusting to the sudden light that almost blinded me.Fully adjusting to the light, my gaze swept across my surroundings, every item it met made my mind foggy, clouded in bewilderment and anxiety – anxiety in the sense that I just realized I was in a hospital and possibly in danger.And bewilderment in the sense that I don't know how I landed in the hospital bed. I tried recalling what had happened. Why was I here? And how come?But my mind was blank like a sheet of paper. I couldn’t remember anything. I tried reeling back my memories, but a sudden sharp ache stung me at the side of my head, eliciting a loud groan from my lips.The pain worsened the more I tried digging up my last memories. It was as if the pain was punishing me for trying to recall.Unable to bear the ache, I submitted to it, giving up on recalling. My gaze drifted around my surroundings once again, but

    ~NADIA Oh no!My hands grew sweaty and clammy as I fiddled with my phone. Quickly, I took a silent, deep breath to calm the tension in my stomach and forced out a nervous smile as I stepped closer to him.His eyes remained bloodshot, amplifying the nervousness I tried to conceal with each step towards him.Stopping before him, with my breath caught in my throat, I inquired, “Hunter? Are you–”He gravely cut me off, stepping away from the doorframe. “What are you still doing here? Didn't I tell you to go back to your room and give him some space?"Oh, right.The knot in my stomach loosened instantly. I breathed a silent sigh of relief that he hadn't overheard my conversation. I know Hunter too well to predict he wouldn't take things lightly with me, especially when the issue is what is getting him all riled up…“And who were you talking to on the balcony?" he demanded, catching me off guard.I squeezed my fingers, searching for the right words. “I-I was talking with… Um… Father.

    ~KILLIANAbruptly, I stood transfixed on my steps as Jack's words left me stunned, locking eyes with the woman before me. She looked like a hot mess, her blonde hair disheveled like a bird's nest, her face as white as snow with heavy dark circles underneath her eyes.Her hazel eyes were supposed to be beautiful, but they looked dim and had lost their gleam. They were filled with pain and confusion. If not for the thrill I felt the moment Jack announced her as our mate, I would have mistaken her for a ghost.She looked like a ghost… or was I mated to a ghost?The thought pushed my feet into motion as I closed the distance between us in three long steps and grabbed her hand, making her flinch.She looked overly scared, but I couldn't care less at this point. I just needed to know if she wasn't a ghost.Feeding my curious thought, my grip lingered around her wrist as I tried to feel her pulse. She had a pulse. A very weak one.I unclasped my grip and shoved my hands into my pocket, final

People ceaselessly milled in and out of the club, while the rap song blasting from inside threatened to damage my eardrums.My skin crawled as I noticed how untamed the environment was. Being here felt incredibly uncomfortable, but I had to do what I had to do to stop Hunter from finding that miserable woman, even if it meant paying a visit to hell to make it happen.And that's why I'm here. Jaxon wasn't replying to any of my calls, and I quite understand why he didn't. It's been ages since we last talked, considering how things ended up between us.I had checked his apartment earlier, hoping he'd be there, but his neighbors attested he had moved out of the location. I couldn't think of anywhere else he could be except here, because the last time I checked, he used to own this place.A sigh escaped my lips as the thought of him likely not lending me help abrup

I'd get suddenly distracted, spending precious time mulling over her well-being.Jack, on the other hand, wasn't helping matters at all. He had been in heat and couldn't wait to see her again.I had much more pressing matters that were supposed to consume my thoughts. Like Katrina's relentless efforts to get herself into a futile condition.She had been traveling all over the world, seeking solutions from different health institutions and local healers. Yet, here I was, thinking about some debtor whom fate had chosen to be my mate.The

    ~SELENA As the car gilded its way down the driveway, my stomach twisted in knots, sending a rush of heat down my spine—the same feeling I got when my wolf sensed him as my mate.Now, my wolf couldn't contain her excitement. She was eager to meet her other half, even though he wasn't enthusiastic about meeting us.Unlike my wolf, I felt a bit indifferent about being here. I wasn't sure if I should feel excited. Given how much I owe him, I didn't expect anything exciting to happen between us, and it seemed like he wouldn't acknowledge our bond.It stings to know he doesn't care, but I'll eventually move past the pain. Besides, it wasn't enough to make my wolf whimper. Somehow, it felt like I've been through something similar before. Though, there's a sneaky feeling that it was even worse than this."Was being rejected part of the memories I lost?" I pondered, my mind empty of memories to satisfy my curiosity and confusion. As I thought about it, I noticed the car's engine rumbling died

    ~HUNTER I leaned against the rail, taking small sips from my glass of brandy as I stood on the balcony, watching my pack members go through their evening training. A moment ago, I was fully engaged in their activities, but my focus shifted a few minutes back.Now, I found myself absentmindedly observing them, my mind swirling with thoughts of my conversation with Nadia after she dropped the bombshell of her sudden pregnancy on me. Initially, I was all over the place emotionally, unsure of how to react.I was caught off guard by the news because it came at a time when I least expected it. I was also quite baffled about how it all happened. I do recall that we had sex a few weeks ago, but even before that, the doctors had already concluded that it wasn't possible for us to have a child of our own due to Nadia's unstable fertility. This news came at a time when we were both eagerly anticipating starting a family together… and so, it is all too strange at this point.But then, a strange

    ~SELENAFeeling the cold breeze caressing my skin, I curled up more in my bed. With sleep still holding my eyes tightly, I groggily tried to reach for the bedcovers to shield myself from the cold. But when my hand darted to different spots without finding them, I was forced to open my eyes to locate them.Turning to the other side of the bed, I found them neatly folded on top of the wardrobe. But the next second, I jumped out of bed upon seeing the time. Instantly, the lingering dizziness disappeared as I rushed around the room, throwing on the appropriate clothes for duty.I was super late for morning duties, and as I prepared my messy appearance to look presentable, even if only a bit, I also braced myself for Martha's scolding. After the Alpha appointed me as the new house help, the middle-aged lady had made it clear to me, sounding the instructions like war drums, that she hated lateness, indolence, and irregularities.I wasn't irregular, nor was I indolent, but I was well known f

We were supposed to come together, but it seems he wants to do things his own way. It’s laughable how he thinks he can win Laura back by playing the hero.Out of nowhere, something smashed into my windshield, shattering it into pieces.

I ducked and took cover behind the car.My men were already shooting at the ambushers, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.Loading my gun, I joined the fight and soo

    ~HUNTER My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when I heard the doctor’s report about Olivia’s condition.“She was poisoned?!”I’d been sure she was just having one of her usual asthma attacks, not this!“Yes, Alpha. We discovered the juice she drank was poisoned.”What? Who brings poison to a kid’s party?Confused, I turned to Alpha Newton, who had been with me in the doctor’s office. Nadia was at Olivia’s bedside, sobbing uncontrollably.“Don’t you know anything about this?” I demanded, glaring at him, but he stayed silent. “If you’d let Olivia stay under my roof, this wouldn’t have happened,” I snapped.Newton narrowed his eyes at me, his expression challenging. “Even if Olivia makes it through this, you won’t be keeping her!”I growled in response. We locked eyes, our anger palpable, until the doctor interrupted. “Can we continue now?”“What’s the plan to fix her condition?” I asked urgently.“Miss Olivia’s blood is contaminated by the poison she ingested.

Besides, I’ve been missing you all holiday, so I figured this was the perfect chance to see you,” Megan replied, her smile growing as they walked into the grand living room where the party was in full swing.“Same here! I tried calling you, but you wouldn’t pick up!” Olivia said with a frown.“My mom confiscated my phone. I don’t know why, but she seems to be against our friendship,” Megan mused.Olivia's frown deepened. “Why would she be against it? Did I do something wrong?”Megan shrugged. “I don’t think so, but I’m not sure. If I had told her I was coming here, she wouldn’t have let me.”“You sneaked out?” Olivia gasped.“I told you I’d do anything to be here, didn’t I? So, here we are!”“You’re so brave, Megan.

I've been panicking, worried about where she might have gone, especially with the kids and my baby.She hasn't been answering my calls or replying to any of my texts. I suspect she might have changed her number so I can't trace her location.Even with Liliana's relentless help, we're still short of clues about where she might be. I've also been to all the properties she owns, but none of the caretakers have seen her.She probably thinks I'd harm her if I found out where she is. She knew I'd look for her at her properties, so she played it safe by not going there.I wanted Laura all these years, and when I finally had her, I lost her in the blink of an eye.I wish I could turn back time and right my wrongs. At the very least, I wouldn't have scared her with that damn gun!SighThe guilt of my actions is eating me alive as the days go by, and I fear I might become even more devastated if I

It was all real.There she was, standing and looking back at me, just as shocked.My stepmom.Liliana.“Killian!” she whispered, taking a step closer, her eyes filling with tears.“Mom!”I rushed forward and hugged her, my heart pounding with joy as I felt the warmth of her skin against mine. She wasn't a ghost; she was real!Her tears soaked my shoulder as I held her tighter, savoring the familiar jade scent I thought I'd never smell again after that dreadful night.I couldn’t stop my tears. They fell as I remembered how unbearable life was when I finally accepted they were dead because I couldn’t find a trace of her and Laura.It took years for me to accept their absence and push through the pain to become who I am today.She finally pulled away, her eyes shining with tears and relief. She looked just as young and beautiful as I remembered, except h

    I locked eyes with Katrina, then turned back to him, my gaze narrowing dangerously. Could he have been working with Katrina all this time to kill Laura?In a flash, I caught him as he tried to bolt from the room, grabbing him by the neck. I yanked the gun from his pocket and slammed him against the wall. He collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, blood trickling down his face.As Katrina stepped closer, trying to calm me down, I aimed the gun at her, a silent warning to stay back.“How long have you been working with her?” I demanded from Lionel.He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. “Since you left for your last business trip. Forgive me, Alpha!”Anger darkened my eyes. This had been going on for so long, and I never knew!“What else did she pay you to do besides poisoning Laura?”From the corner of my eye, I saw Katrina shaking her head at him, signaling him to stay quiet as he glanced her way.His face turned pale as I cocked the gun. “What else?” “She paid me to plant a mo

Keeping a straight face, I asked, "What evidence did you find?"She closed the distance between us, suddenly leering at me as she slowly ran her hand up my arm.Sensing her intentions, I swatted her hand away, my jaw tightening with anger. "Is this what you called me for?"She let out a bitter chuckle. "So, it’s come to the point where I can't even touch you?""Stop acting dumb. That was more than just a touch," I snapped, glaring at her. "We've been over this. I have a mate now, and you know what happens if I choose to cheat."I don't desire her anymore. The urge to be with her died the moment Laura came into my life, though I refused to accept it at first. My commitment to Laura goe

His father had never been too weak to fight back. To say the least, Killian always saw his father as undefeated."The strongest man alive," Killian had teased his father a moment earlier while he taught him how to hunt. But then, suddenly, his father sensed something and urged him to seek safety back in the pack grounds. But little Killian couldn't just leave his father.He was curious why his father had told him to go back so suddenly and decided to hide behind the tree to find out the reason.But what he didn't know was that the reason would wound his heart and leave a scar on it.It happened before his eyes.So quick!Like a bolt of lightning.His father was brought down by just a single shot.

    ~KILLIANI glanced at my wristwatch for the umpteenth time, my eyebrows knitting together in concern. Laura still hadn't returned from the washroom. Just as I was about to go look for her, she was announced as the winner of the category. Since she wasn’t in the hall, I went up on stage to accept the award on her behalf, but my thoughts were elsewhere. I quickly rounded up the speech, almost too abruptly, and handed the award to Droost as I stepped down from the podium."I'll be right back," I told him, my tone hurried. My mind raced with all the negative possibilities as I made my way to the restroom area.Keeping my composure, I walked down the corridor leading to the washrooms and knocked on the first door. "Laura?" I called out.There was silence, and just as I was about to move to the next door, it opened. I stepped inside quickly, feeling relieved at the sight of her. But my relief faded as I noticed her slightly teary eyes."Are you okay?" I asked, my worry evident.She nodded.
