Vanya's POV

My throat burned, and I could taste the blood as the wolfsbane spiked drink slid down my throat. I kept a straight face as I sipped my champagne.

"What wolfsbane?" I asked, with an innocent shrug.

Cian dropped his glass and grabbed mine. He took a sip from it and choked. He wiped his chin and laughed, shaking his head in amusement. "You're something else."

I smiled to myself. I got up from the couch and took a chocolate covered strawberry. I bit into it, the combination of the strawberry and chocolate helped offset the taste of blood and wolfsbane on my tongue.

I had doubted my skills. After staying up all night last night learning how to quickly spike a drink without being suspected, I didn't think it'd actually work. But spiking his drink had been easy.

And mine too. In the mere seconds I had walked to the door to get the food trolley, I poured the wolfsbane powder into both empty glasses.

Cian grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. His eyes glowed with a strange light as

You have to come out of there now!""I can't!" I barked back at him. "Just leave me alone! I don't want to talk to any of you!""Vanya, you can't keep doing this." Marco said, his tone hard and angry. "Open up this door now or I'll break it down!""Like that's my business! It's your house! If you like break down all the damned walls! I don't give a fucking....." I trailed off and screamed. He really did kick down the fucking door!Marco stood in the door way, fuming and red in the face. Behind him was Emilia holding the twins in both arms. Her eyes were full of tears as she stared at me. She hid the kids faces from me. "Bet you're happy now." I snapped at Marco.He walked into the room and stormed over to my bedside.

    Cian's POV:"You could have died." Kane, my personal healer said. He didn't bother hiding the disapproval in his tone as he said those words. He mixed an elixir to administer to me, opting to go the natural away as it has been too late for anti venom. "What were you thinking?"I rolled my eyes at him. "Lighten up." I scoffed. I took the mixture from him and drank it. It burned my throat, really. It felt like it was salt on open wounds. I handed the crystal glass back to him. But it should help."Lighten up?!" He spat as he took the glass from me. "Cian, you want to kill yourself! How can you ask me to lighten up?!""Kane, just because I'm a pillow princess doesn't mean I can't teach your ass a lesson for talking to your alpha like that.""Ah, how lucky I am! Glad you ended up as a pillow princess and not what I don't know, dead! A dead alpha, how would you have loved that?""You're overreacting. Vanya wouldn't kill me. She can't do that. She's still in love with me. She wouldn't be ab

    Vanya's POV It's been a week, and the topic of Cian and his mystery lover is still all over social media. Life has returned to normal for me, well as much as normal can be. Each time I hear someone on the street talking about the Valor scandal, I feel a tinge of excitement inside me and also dread. What if they know it's me? What if I had made a mistake when I took the pictures and there was a reflective surface somewhere that showed my face? What if...what if...And each time I would steel myself in and remind myself that I had gone through the images like a million times and so did he. Currently at work, trying to send out letters to my runaway suppliers, I got a call from Cian.My heart skipped a beat. Ever since he called me three days ago sounding like he had been ran through by two trucks, I hadn't heard from him. It really led me to wonder if he had seen all the rumors or if he was pretending not to see them. Either way, his silence was very unnerving for me. I picked up th

You think I've forgotten where your birthmarks are? Think again. Bestie." I panicked, then I remembered something.That was impossible. Every trace that could point that picture to me had been erased. Birthmarks included.Josephine is bluffing. She's lying, and she's trying to see my reaction. She wants to know how I'll react to her taunts. She wants to know that she has gotten me. She wants to know if it's me in that picture. And then she'll use it to spread more rumours about me."Is that so?" I met her eyes and chuckled. "It seems to me that your man isn't just fucking you alone, Josephine. Why don't you take your grievances to him and leave me the fuck out of it?"She looked taken aback. I knew it. I knew she was bluffing and trying to wrench a reaction out of me. Thank the goddess I dodged that bullet. "This isn't over yet, Vany

"A new world order, a new religion, the Blackwoods." "Indeed. A new religion. " He chuckled before he paused. "I'll get the kids from school today. You'll just have to get off from work and go home." "The last time you got the children back from school Tristan, all of you wrecked the house!" "And we apologized and promised we'd never do it again." "Whatever. Thank you for getting them in... Advance " I said to him. "At your service my queen." I smiled, grinning from ear to ear. "I love you." I said to him. "I love you more." He replied. "We'll talk later, gotta go." He mused, before blowing a kiss into the phone's speaker and then hanging up. I sat down on my seat, thinking back in all that had happened in my life. All that had happened to bring me to this day. To this moment of true happiness. I had never kn

" I opened the door to leave, turned, and pulled him towards me with his tie, kissing him full on the lips. He edged forward, closing the door and winding the glass up. His hand trailed to my waist, pulling me closer to him, before they made to unbutton my blouse. "What are you doing?" I giggled, throwing my head back. "I told you " He grumbled. "That the next time you do this on a work day, we might end up having sex in the car. " "And I said?" "Mm... You said nothing." I opened the car door. "And silence in court means...." But I had jumped out of the car, blowing him a kiss as I shut the door. He looked like a pouting child that would soon begin to bawl. "Just go." I mouthed, shooting him away with a wave of my hand.

Tristan stared at him in disbelief while I listened to their story. Waiting earnestly for them to finish so I could throw everything I wanted at them. "When we heard he came after you..." My father had become serious. "I told Marco and Vladimir that it was finally time for me to come out of hiding." They both nodded. "And worst of all, when Marco told me about your outburst." They nodded again. But he continued. "They weren't really buying the idea, and Vladimir promised to take care of you and Marco but I had been hiding long enough." "So we finally decided to come out of hiding," Vladimir said. "And deal with Magnus." Marco added. The sitting room now went quiet as I weighed everything they had said. I had missed my father since I was thirteen, thinking he was dead, but he had been aliv

"And where did you learn how do speak like that little crow?" "Don't you dare call me that!" I spat at the man. "And where did you even hear that from?" "I didn't hear it from anywhere. We made it up, together. At the spring fall close to your school when you wouldn't stop crying about how boring school was and how you wanted to be a doctor but not go to school for it..." I bit my lower lip. This couldn't be happening. I was dreaming. It's all a dream. "And what did I say?" I asked him for confirmation. "If I can make it as a doctor without books, I want the world in return..." "No..." I exhaled, forcing myself to stay calm and tearless. "And I said to you..." I remembered clearly what he said to me that day. Even if you want heaven... "Even if you want heaven..." Daddy wouldn't hesitate a second... "Daddy wouldn't hesitate a

    Vanya's POV I walked out of Tristan's office, and when I was out of earshot, I ran to our room, shutting the door behind me as I wailed my eyes out. I shook as the sobs took over me, fully in control. How could he? How could Marco? He was my father's best friend. He was supposed to stand by my father, was supposed to protect him. Was supposed to be a true friend. I hate him! I hate him!! I sniffled, still sitting down on the floor. How long I sat there, I couldn't recall but I knew it was well past afternoon. Tristan had come to knock on the door during lunch, asking me to eat. I had told him I wanted to be alone and wasn't in the mood to eat. "In case you change your mind." He said as I heard a rattle of plates in front of the door. "I'll leave your lunch here." Then he had left. After some time, he had come to the door again, knocking to check up on me. "I'm fine," I replied. "Vanya..." He started. "I know it's tough. I wish I could help... Or... Or do something." He sig

    Tristan's POV I was in my study with Vanya that morning when Adam and some of my men brought Magnus into my office. Hands bound as he knelt him down before us. I was sitting on the arm of the seat while Vanya sat on it. From where he knelt, Magnus glared at us. His face filled with venom. Like the fuck I cared. He had gone after Vanya for whatever crooked reason it was. Had killed her father, my father's very good friend. He had ruined her chance of having a father and a mother too, potentially making her an orphan. The reason my Luna had no parents as shoulders to lean on, was because of this man. And heaven knew, I wanted to rip out his throat. There was a tremble on his venomous face even though he tried to hide it. He only glared as a defense mechanism. "Such a flimsy defense you have there Magnus." No need putting the Alpha's honorific anyway. He didn't deserve that respect. He blinked that I called him by his name but covered the shock on his face by glaring harder. "Oh!"

    Tristan's POV "I'm fine talking while standing." Her voice came out wobbling. And she folded her arms, warily watching us. I nodded, going straight to the point. "What did you say to Vanya that made her stomp off?" Her eyes softened. "She didn't tell you. So why should I?" Angel snorted behind me. I rubbed my temples, realizing I too was standing. "So much drama in a day." She whispered behind me. The woman shot her a glare which Angel returned with a bare of her wolf canines. "You claim to be her mother..." "I am her mother." She cut me off, her voice almost a screech. Two of my men moved to get a hold of her as she strolled towards me, but I motioned them to remain put. "I carried her for nine months and almost died giving birth to her." "So why disappear all these years and appear now to try and talk to her?" She squinted angrily at me. "Yeah." I continued before she could speak. "Vanya has never mentioned you to me before. Never." "Who knows, that may be because you are

    Tristan's POV "You should have found out!" I yelled a her. "What?! You expected me to eavesdrop on their conversation?!" Before I could reply, she added. "What is wrong with you?! You've barely been married a month and you're already acting like a big bad dog!" I took some steps towards her. "You don't get to speak to me like that! And after all that happened, she shouldn't be out there alone!" "When has she never been able to handle herself?" She threw at me, contempt in her voice. "When you weren't officially mated, it was eight bodyguards, now the whole world knows, you might actually keep tabs on her every movement. In case you don't know brother, it's spying and a sign that your suffocating, over protective nature that cost our mother her life, is resurfacing again!

    Tristan's POV I killed the ignition of my car, sitting there and thinking about nothing in particular but everything at once. Vanya had only met Selena once and they had not gotten along. Not as if any one could ever get along with Selena. But why would Magnus go after Vanya? What did he want from her? ***Flashback*** Vanya was speaking to the strange woman who claimed to be her mother, so I decided to go back to my house which was now Angel's house to wait for Adam after I had sent him to figure out who the rogues were and why they wanted Vanya when Angel came to me. "There was one thing I noticed about the rogues. I didn't want to let you know about it because Vanya was there." I sat back down, placing my coat on the seat I had been seating on. "What was it?" "All the men had a wolf tattoo on their right shoulders." "Werewolves have tattoos all the time Angel." "I know." She countered. "But it was split in half." She looked at me, going still for a moment before that still
