AUTHOR’S POV

The dark hall was covered in shadows and sorrow, a sea of black clothing as mourners gathered to pay their final respects. Nora stood by Leo’s grave, her hand trembling as she placed a lily on top of the polished wood of his coffin. Leo’s parents, their faces covered with grief, stood beside her, each adding their own floral tribute.

Nora turned to them, but her eyes pointed at the ground, the guilt still weighing on her. She dropped to her knees and whispered, “I’m the reason your son is gone. I took him away from you. If he hadn’t saved me, he would still be here.”

But Leo’s parents would hear none of it. His mother lifted Nora gently, her voice soft yet firm. “No, honey. It was not your doing. It was the will of the moon goddess, and our son chose to save you.”

His father added, “You must live for him now. Make his sacrifice meaningful.” A smile lit up his broad face, softening his harsh features.

Overwhelmed by their kindness, Nora felt a tear streak down her fac

    AUTHOR’S POV A year later, A year had passed since Nora lost Leo, bringing her to this moment, seated in the dressing room, staring at herself in a wedding dress. Mrs. Williams, who had once been a wicked mother, now stood before her, offering jewels as tokens of acceptance and regret. The nightstand was filled with daily gifts from her and her husband, each one a silent plea for forgiveness. Nora’s gaze lingered on the jewels, her voice soft but strong. “I cannot accept these anymore,” she remarked. “Like I said before, I have already forgiven you a long time ago. These gifts aren’t necessary.” Regret formed a jagged rock in Mrs. Williams's stomach, and emotion flickered across her face. “These gifts are my punishment,” she declared. “I did a lot of awful things in the past, and I forgot that love doesn’t care about social status. The moon goddess herself would agree to that; that is why she made you my son’s mate. And no one is more suited for him than you.” The knock at the do

    NORA’S POV I vividly remembered that night, when I…I was drugged and did something terrible. My head was pounding as I opened my eyes. I couldn’t recognize my surroundings. Where was I? What had I done? I turned on the bed and noticed Alpha George, the soon-to-be alpha of the Darkfire pack, sleeping next to me. His chest was rising and falling with his breath. His arm was draped over my waist. His scent was all over me. A high-pitched scream escaped from my throat. The scream was louder than I expected. I was hoping to wake up from this nightmare. But it was—it was real. And my scream. Woke. Him. Up. He stared at me with shock. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was open. He looked like he couldn’t believe what he saw. “Did we have sex?” he asked in a low voice. “What the hell are you doing in my room, woman? And who even are you? Did you seduce me? Are you a whore?” He tried to sound composed, but I could hear the panic in his tone. My entire body tensed, but no amount of st

    NORA’S POV I paced back and forth in front of the hospital's emergency room, my heart pounding in my chest. I stopped and glanced at the screen of my phone, where Gina's number taunted me. I wanted to call her, to express my anger and frustration for ruining my life and causing me so much pain. But I didn't want to hear her shitty voice. Suddenly, the doors of the emergency room swung open, and a doctor in a white gown walked out. My stomach dropped as he approached me, his face grave. "Your mother has cancer," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. "Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. It's aggressive, and she needs surgery as soon as possible." I felt a lump form in my throat, my vision blurring with tears. I struggled to find my voice. "S-So what are you waiting for? Start the surgery, I'm willing to pay any amount of money as long as she is—" He cut in, "But here's the catch. The surgery is going to cost around $100,000, and before we even think about starting, we need the money upfront.

    NORA’S POV "What the hell are you doing at my door, looking like a goddamn queen?" I blurted out, unable to control my words. Alicia's elegant eyebrow arched, her piercing gaze fixed on me. "So, you are Nora Clark, huh?" she said, though it sounded more like a question. "Yeah, I'm Nora. What can I do for you, Your Highness?" I asked. She smirked and gestured towards my open door. "Well, why don't you invite me in? I would like to have a word with you," she said. I narrowed my eyes at her, wondering what the hell she wanted from an omega like me. "Oh, forgive my manners. Please come in, Your Highness," I said and quickly stepped aside. She strolled into the dimly lit living room with her two bodyguards. I rushed to open the windows and allowed the morning light to brighten the apartment. She took in my surroundings, a little bit of disappointment on her face as she settled onto the worn-out couch in the center of the room. I walked over to her and instead of sitting on the one-sea

    NORA’S POVI sank to the filthy cell floor, my trembling legs unable to support me any longer. Tears streamed down my face, my whole body shaking with the weight of my actions. I never meant for any of this to happen. I never meant to shoot my own sister. But now, with the news of Gina's death hanging over me, I couldn't stop the stream of tears, and I could barely breathe.The other cellmates stared at me, their eyes burning with curiosity and judgment. But I didn't have the energy to care. All I could see was Gina's lifeless body on the ground when I removed the bean bag and the flash of my finger pulling the trigger replaying in my mind like a broken record.In the blink of an eye, Thomas appeared at the cell gate with his face contorted with anger and grief, his eyes filled with venom as he started hurling accusations at me.

    NORA’S POVAs I walked up the hill towards the beautiful mansion, guided by Alicia's intimidating bodyguards, my heart pounded hard in my chest. The rumors surrounding this place were wild, but here I was about to find out the truth. We entered the lavish living room, adorned with elegant furniture and artifacts from around the world. There, standing in the center of it was a doctor."Welcome, Nora. I am Doctor Laura, I will be in charge of the whole process," she greeted me with a smile. "I assume you are ready for this life-changing opportunity?"I nodded, although I was scared, and this all felt surreal. I had to do it to earn my freedom back. "Yes, I am. Let's do this.""Come with me," she said, leading me to one of the many expensive couches in the living room and handed me a pen and a thick paper."That's the contract; you can go through it if you want," she said and took a seat on the couch, and I sat down on the three-seater couch in front of her. I opened the pen with my mout

    Present… Nora’s POV I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heartbeat. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion, embarrassment, and guilt. The sound of the water echoed in the shower, its soothing rhythm trying to wash away the taint of my recklessness. I scrubbed vigorously as if I could scrub away the shame that clung to my skin. My body shivered under the hot water, not from the heat but from the memories that flashed through my mind. The feel of his lips on mine and the way his hands roamed my body with an intensity that made my knees weak. As I stepped out of the shower, I reached for the arsenal of beauty products—makeup to conceal the hickies that disfigured my neck and jaw and perfume to drown out the intoxicating scent of Alpha George that still clung like a possessive lover. The mirror reflected back a girl I didn’t recognize. I slipped into a cute pink dress, hoping it would take my mind off things. With my head hanging low, I made my way to the living room and st

    Nora’s POV My chest rose and fell as Dr. Laura’s hand invaded my most intimate spaces. She was giving me a pelvic examination with my legs wide open under the sheets. The whole process was uncomfortable, but I was thinking of the words to say to Alicia when she found out. “All done.” Dr. Laura said and started scribbling some words in her journal. She had a blank expression on her face, so I couldn’t tell what she was thinking. “Is something wrong? You don’t look so happy was it not a success?” Alicia asked and released her grip on my hand. I closed my eyes and felt awful for making them do the checkup when I already knew the result. “Guess what!?” Dr. Laura exclaimed, and there was a short pause. “She is pregnant! Two months in!” My eyes fluttered open in shock, and my mind went blank. Pregnant? How the hell was that possible? Does this mean what Leo was saying was all bullshit and just his strategy to get into my pants? “Yes!” Alicia squealed with joy. She was overwhelmed with

    AUTHOR’S POV The afternoon sun streamed through the open windows, brightening the inside of the lab. Nora sat on the makeshift bed of clothes, her stomach growling in protest as she awaited George’s return with food. Jack busied himself with the windows, letting in light to compensate for the lack of electricity. Nora’s voice broke the silence. “Jack, where did you and George disappear to for all those months? And why did you guys make everyone think you were dead?” A masculine chuckle escaped his lungs. “We didn’t fake our deaths, Nora.” He said, shaking his head. “It was a bizarre twist of fate. We were attacked on our way out of the pack, and now that I think about it, the attacker was probably Dante.” Her mind raced through a thousand questions and possibilities. “That does make sense. Dante would want George out of the way to make kidnapping the kids easier. He must have seen him as a threat.” She muttered and frowned a little. “I still can’t believe George left the pack behi

    AUTHOR’S POV A small frown touched Nora’s face, her body convulsing with another wave of shivers. “T-Then bear it, I can’t be seen getting cozy with you when I have a boyfriend,” she said, wrapping another piece of clothing around her now sweating body. But the cold was relentless, and soon the heat that followed was just as unbearable. Discomfort climbed up her spine, and heat scorched her skin. “I know you have a boyfriend, but we are in our heat period, and he is not here. You will have to ask your mate for help.” Ariana suggested in her head. “How can you suggest such a thing? If I ask him for help, he will have to have sex with me. And I can’t... I am with Leo now, and I can’t cheat on him,” she replied, with emotion roughing the syllables. “I know you don’t want to cheat on him. But this is a matter of life and death, you will die if you don’t let him help.” Ariana said in a sad tone. “I…I can’t. I just can’t. I know how much it hurts to be cheated on, I have been there a f

    AUTHOR’S POV The day dawned crisp and clear as the sun poured through the streets. Alicia stormed into the grocery store, her presence as chilling as the ski mask that covered her face. The assault rifle in her grip was not just a weapon, but a representation of her desire to kill. “Put your hands where I can see them,” she hissed at the store owner, who obeyed with a tremble. “Please don’t kill me, I just opened, I haven’t earned any money!” He pleaded, but his plea for mercy fell on deaf ears. A cold laugh escaped Alicia’s throat and echoed in the cramped space. “I don’t want your money, old man, I just need to grab some supplies.” She replied and obtained a coil of rope from one of the shelves. She kept the man caged in the sights of her rifle as she closed the distance. “Stay here and don’t make a sound, if you try to act smart, I will have no option but to kill you,” she threatened as she used the rope to tie his hands behind him, securing him to the shelf like a display of h

    AUTHOR’S POV In the dimly lit villa, Mrs. Williams’s entrance was as fast as lightning, her flip-flops discarded as she stopped at the sight of her husband. Mr. Wiliams sat rooted on the couch, a sea of documents spread before him on the table. Her eyebrows shot to the ceiling as she leaned over the papers. “W-What are you doing?” she inquired. Mr. Williams looked up, a dark smile playing on his lips, shadowed by the room’s gloom. “These are petitions I gathered from the pack members. I’m securing our son’s legacy; I am no longer turning my back on him,” he replied, sincere regret laced in his voice as he looked her in the eyes. “I shouldn’t have... I shouldn’t have supported the council. Rick must be Alpha again. I cannot let our line fade; after all, I went through it to keep it in our family.” She shook her head, her hand darting out to seize the document from his grasp. “Stop this madness,” she begged, her voice rising. “You are losing yourself in this grief. Are you doing this

    AUTHOR’S POV The touch of the evening air was too much as Rick stepped out of the taxi, his eyes immediately drawn to the flurry of activity at the maximum-security prison. Guards hustled across the yard, their faces covered with concern, while the urgent wail of alarms pierced the air. He watched closely as two guards emerged, dragging a protesting couple out of the prison’s grand gates. “Come back another time! Visiting hours are over!” One guard barked, tossing the woman’s bag to her feet with a dismissive flick of his wrist. The woman, her face painted with frustration and desperation, clutched her bag tightly. “Why are you being so unfair? Visiting hours end at 10 p.m., and it’s only 7 p.m.,” she pleaded, her voice cracking. “I haven’t seen my niece in ages! Panic spurred Rick into action, and he stepped forward, his determination clear. “I need to get inside,” he insisted, his voice firm. “My girlfriend’s in there. You can’t deny me access; we haven’t seen each other in a lon

    AUTHOR’S POV The morning sun hit George’s face, and his heart was heavy as he paced through the studio. His hands carefully placed his personal items into a mini bag. The walls of the rooms whispered memories of laughter and learning, and though he was firm in his decision, a part of him mourned the awaiting goodbye to the children he had come to adore. The sound of footsteps snapped him back to reality. He peeked outside his room to see his boss walking purposefully towards the office. He took a deep breath and secured the zipper on his bag. A pit formed in his stomach as he grasped the resignation letter that lay on the nightstand. George entered his boss's office just in time to overhear a phone conversation about him. “Like I said earlier, it’s unprofessional for a teacher to date a parent of the kid he teaches.” His boss said in a serious tone. “I’m sorry, but no amount of money can make me help you. I respect the privacy of my teachers and stay out of their personal lives."

    AUTHOR’S POV They stepped into the shower area, and the sounds of bare feet stepping on the tile were getting louder and louder as they made it under one of the shower heads. The shower area itself was just a single room, blocked by a small door. There was no cover between the five or six showers, so they both had plenty of space to mess around and get each other clean. The whole shower room was tiled, so the two would have to try hard not to fall over because of how slippery everything was. “I have always wanted to do this with someone, but I haven’t had a proper girlfriend in a long time.” His voice was silky as velvet. The guard pushed Alicia against the cold tiled wall, his body squishing up against hers. Her nipples were hard and almost carved into his chest, but he didn't care. Her breasts squeezed and contoured around his chest as they both continued kissing. Their legs were moving constantly, trying to find a good footing, before eventually finding a good rhythm.
