Of only I can catch a glimpse of Stacy... It doesn’t take long to find her—Stacy. I spot her through the large window of a small office building. She’s sitting at her desk, her hair tied up, looking as beautiful as she did the last time I saw her. My breath catches and I'm in disbelief. She’s real.
STACY. ‘I want my family back.’ Jason's shocking words echo repeatedly in the back of my mind as I regret showing up for work today. I should have stayed home and laid low like I had said yesterday. My fists clench at my sides as anger surges through me. ‘I’ll fight for you and our son_’ more
JASON. BANG!!! The sound of Stacy's car crash hits me like a physical blow. I’ve been secretly following Stacy since she stepped out of office after our first meeting in a long time, hoping to get another moment to explain myself, and to fix things, but now, all that matters is getting to her.
"I think it's time for you to leave my pack, Barron," Daniel growls through clenched teeth. His eyes flash with barely contained fury. "Once the council gives their response to the alliance proposal, I'll call you." I know better. He just wants to get rid of me before I have a chance to speak to S
STACY. “You have exactly five minutes to say what you want to say then leave. And this time for good Jason. I don't want to see you or breath the same air as you.” I start the conversation while my body aches from the car crash I just encountered. Jason looks at me with remorse and desperation b
Jason swallows hard, looking like he’s on the verge of collapse. “I’m sorry, Stacy. I’m so sorry. But I can’t let you go again.” “Too bad.” My voice is cold, devoid of the warmth I once had for him. “Pretend we are dead to you... I’ve moved on. Liam and I have moved on. We don’t need you.” His f
NICOLE. Meanwhile in midnight pack... “Why is Jason not yet back?” I pace back and forth across the marble floors of the mansion, my fingers clenched into fists. The rage bubbling inside me threatens to spill over, but I bite my lip to keep it in check. It’s been two days since Jason ordered me
Victor lets out a disappointed sigh. “Nicole, you need to be smarter than this. You’re telling me you don’t know anything? Not a single piece of information we could use?” I feel a cold sweat start to form at the back of my neck. “I don’t… but maybe we could check his office? We could look through
"You’re a damn tease," I snap. Daniel only smirks before lowering his mouth to my breast, his tongue flicking over my nipple before sucking it between his lips. "Mmm," I murmur, arching my back to press my breast further into his mouth. My body is on fire, every nerve ending alive under his touc
HANNAH "You want proof that you are the only woman I love? Fine. I'll show you proof," Daniel says while locking the bedroom door behind him. I frown slightly as my pulse quickens. "What do you think you are doing?” He doesn't respond to my question but walks toward me with the grace of a leop
She nods faintly, leaning against me as we walk. But just as we reach the steps, Roxanne stumbles. I react instantly, catching her before she can fall. Her hands grip my shoulders for support, and as I pull her upright, our faces end up dangerously too close even for my own comfort. Her breath bru
Roxanne doesn’t react immediately. She just studies me, her eyes flickering with something I can’t quite place. I don’t offer more because that’s the truth. Hannah isn’t perfect. But with her, I don’t feel the weight of politics, alliances, or expectations pressing down on me. She makes me feel al
DANIEL. (Meanwhile on the side of the pack) The quiet hum of the air conditioning fills Roxanne’s hotel suite, but it does nothing to cool the unease settling in my chest while I sit on the couch with my fingers tapping absent minded against my knee as I stare at the untouched glass of whiskey on
I roll my eyes, my patience thinning. "I’m not asking for permission. I just need to go somewhere." More awkward silence. Just as I’m about to snap, one of the younger drivers steps forward. "I can drive you anywhere you need to go, Luna." I study him for a moment. He looks nervous but determi
HANNAH "Are you sure Hannah won't mind?" Roxanne asks innocently, her eyes glancing in my direction. 'Yes, I mind bitch!!!' Mu wolf screams angrily in my head, I fold my arms tightly across my chest, watching as Daniel steps closer to her. Every part of me is screaming not to let them leave toge
Karen hesitates for a second, her eyes flickering to Daniel before nodding. "Right away, Luna." Daniel arches a brow, a small smirk playing on his lips. "I'm glad you are returning to our room," he teases. "this way, l will take care of you even better." I whirl around, my patience already hangi
HANNAH. I watch in disbelief as Roxanne’s parents, a wealthy and respected looking couple, look at Daniel with desperation. "If money is what you need," her father says, pulling out a checkbook, "we will pay you whatever amount you want. Just allow Roxanne to stay with you in her final days."
