Thank you for reading ;)
JASON. Minutes later, Liam and I walk through the mall, his small hand tugging at mine as we pass shops filled with colorful displays and bustling shoppers who all greet me with a submissive bow. The lively atmosphere feels like a stark contrast to the storm brewing in my heart, but Liam’s exci
She grins, undeterred. “I bet. Speaking of challenges, working here is... well, let’s just say it’s not what I imagined for myself. I was wondering—do you have any job openings at your office? Anything would be better than this place. The pay here is peanuts.” I glance at the shop assistant, who i
STACY. (Meanwhile at the border) ‘How could Jason have gotten involved with Alpha Velkan Hugo of all people in the world?’ The thought refuses to leave me, circling endlessly in my mind... I can’t believe what happened in Jason's office, let alone make sense of it when our relationship was just
“Oh Stacy... whatever’s going on in your life, don’t let it drown you. You’ve been through worse and come out stronger. You’ll get through whatever it is you won't share.” Her words catch me off guard but settle something in me, grounding me for the first time all day. “Thanks, Lizzy.” I give he
STACY. Hours later, I arrive at the mansion, the soft glow of the evening lights spilling across the driveway. As I push open the heavy front door, an unsettling stillness greets me. The house is unnervingly quiet. Liam should be waiting for me to return home to talk about all the gifts he picke
“Firstly, I would like to say sorry,” he says quietly with a steady voice it irritates me more but I keep my fake composure. “For what?” I ask, arching a brow. “You’re going to have to be specific.” “For everything.” He sighs, running a hand through his hair. “For Velkan. For not telling you the
JASON. The sound of Stacy’s retreating footsteps echoes in my mind long after she’s left the kitchen. Her words linger too, sharp and heavy like daggers lodged in my chest. I know I deserve her anger. I deserve every ounce of it. But knowing doesn’t make it hurt any less. I glance at the food I j
JASON. I hold up a hand, my glare never leaving Daniel. “Hannah, please go back home.” “But—” “Now,” I snap, my tone leaving no room for argument. She flinches but nods quickly, stepping toward her car. “Alpha, please don’t do anything to him,” she pleads, her voice barely above a whisper.
Daniel stiffens. His entire body goes rigid, as his jaw tightens so hard I swear I hear his teeth grind. “What?” His voice is barely more than a growl. I nod, my grip on his hand tightening. “You heard me.” Fury flashes in his eyes, dark and dangerous. He doesn’t even hesitate before turning on h
HANNAH. I freeze in the doorway, my breath hitching as my brain struggles to catch up with the sight before me. Roxanne and Adrian. Together! Their bodies are tangled together with their hands greedy, and their lips locked in a desperate, forbidden kiss. Clothes are haphazardly disheveled, Roxann
I stare at the pile, then burst out laughing. “Were you two planning to open a pharmacy?” Daniel smirks. “Figured it was better to be thorough.” I shake my head, grabbing one of the tests and handing it to Stacy. “Alright, go pee on this.” Stacy glares at me like I just asked her to do something
HANNAH “You, get a doctor! Now!” Daniel’s voice booms through the wedding venue, commanding instant obedience from the nearest guard. But even as the order leaves his lips, I tighten my grip on his arm. “Baby, I am a doctor, remember?” His eyes flick to mine, realization dawning before he steps a
HANNAH. "Uh-uh, no, not today" Stacy says the moment her eyes land on Margaret. "Please, just hear me out," Margaret pleads, standing in a simple deep red dress suited for her age. She looks… hesitant, so unlike her usual self. Gone is the cold authority, and the condescending stare. Instead, he
HANNAH. (Hours later) Dinner is tense, the air thick with an unspoken rivalry that neither Roxanne nor I are willing to acknowledge outright. The dining room is dimly lit, with the scent of roasted chicken filling the air, but I can barely focus on the food. My attention is solely on Daniel and
She ends the call and turns to me, practically glowing with excitement. "Great news. That was an old friend of mine who owns a bridal boutique. I asked for a favor earlier, and she’s sending over a selection of dresses, ones you’ll actually like." I let out a breath of relief, shaking my head. "Th
ANNAH. (An hour later) I sit cross-legged on the couch, flipping through a bridal magazine Stacy came home with while she scribbles notes in a planner. The coffee table between us is littered with fabric swatches, floral arrangements, and sample wedding invitations. The scent of fresh roses fr
"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
