Zenab's phone rang for what felt like the hundredth time. It was Dave calling, and her irritation was mounting. Didn't he understand that she didn't want to speak with him?

She sighed and hung up, frustrated. He had been calling her regularly ever since that day Sander had kidnapped her, persisting even when she left his calls unanswered.

"Who keeps calling you?" Jaymie asked, her curiosity evident.

It was the day after Jayson's successful surgery, and everyone was rejoicing over the news that the tumor had been removed without complications. Jayson was going to be okay, and they would be able to bring him home in two weeks. Zenab had invited Jaymie to late lunch, wanting her friend to take a break now that Jayson was out of danger. She deserved some time to breathe and relax after all the stress surrounding Jayson's diagnosis.

"It's just Dave... the idiot doesn't seem to grasp the hint," Zenab replied, her irritation creeping into her tone.

The thought of him fueled her anger,

    Zenab just stared at him. Perhaps Red had been right after all; her defiance may have been a terrible mistake. It was too late now, though; the look in Sander's eyes made her feel like he wanted to choke the life out of her."Could you please turn around?" she asked politely, just realizing the bubbles had dissipated, leaving her exposed.Not that she thought he would even glance at her or desire her. Werewolves generally had no qualms about nudity, but for some reason, she didn't want him seeing her naked. It felt too intimate."Ten minutes, Scarlet. If you're not dressed and out by then, I swear I'll come back and dress you myself," he said tersely before storming out and slamming the door.Zenab's heart raced at the look on his face; he wasn't joking. It was clear: this was no empty threat.Zenab had never dressed as quickly as she did today. Once she was ready, she stepped out of her bedroom to find Sander lounging on her couch. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, an arm r

    Zenab was on the verge of turning to see what had angered Sander when Dave's voice cut through the air. "Zenab, what the hell are you doing with him?"She sighed, feeling her relaxation from the evening dissipate. Just when she thought she could enjoy herself, Dave had to show up and ruin everything, just like he had ruined her life."Sander?" Miles chimed in, sounding a mix of shock and fluster.Zenab glanced at Sander and froze. The murderous intent in his eyes was palpable—he looked ready to explode. If she didn't intervene, the couple behind her would likely end up in serious trouble.Without hesitation, she left her seat and moved to stand behind Sander. Unsure if her actions would be welcome, but knowing there was no alternative, she began to rub his shoulders, hoping to ease the tension she sensed in his body. Thankfully, they were in a private section, shielded from prying eyes.To her surprise, instead of shrugging her off, he began to relax. Zenab felt a surge of satisfactio

    Today, Zenab left the office early, her mind too cluttered to focus on anything. Thoughts swirled chaotically in her head, making it impossible to concentrate on a single task.Now, she found herself in an ice cream shop, savoring a large bowl of vanilla—a guilty pleasure that usually had a way of grounding her and restoring her sense of calm.Yet even while indulging, her thoughts drifted back to what Jaymie had shared about Emerald and her upcoming prenuptials. A sense of unease settled over her as she worried about Emerald's well-being and whether Miles was treating her as kindly as before. She was also concerned about how people might react to her mating with Sander. The potential responses from Jaymie, Emerald, and even Dave's parents weighed heavily on her mind.She hadn't spoken to Dave's parents since she had left a year ago, nor had she seen them since coming back. Despite loving them for all they had done for her, the thought of having them in her life after the way their so

    "I'm afraid it won't be that easy," the third man said menacingly. "You trespassed on our land, and we're going to teach you a lesson. We have certain punishments for bitches like you."Her voice faltered as panic surged within her. "I swear I didn't know."They ignored her plea, advancing as she took hurried steps back, her heart racing. The instinct to flee kicked in."We don't fucking believe you. Did someone send you here to spy? Thinking that just because you have a pretty face and long legs we'd let you off easy?" the tattooed man taunted."Nobody sent—" the guy interrupted her, his voice dripping with suspicion."How much are they paying you?"Fear gripped Zenab, tightening around her throat. They were unwilling to hear her side; they didn't want to believe her intentions were innocent. Something in their eyes told her this situation was about more than just territory; they were intent on causing her harm."If only you would listen to me... Nobody sent me to spy on you," she pl

    "I wanted to tell you, but the right opportunity never presented itself. We began seeing each other while I was away, wanting to keep things quiet for a while—just until we were both ready for the media to know. When I returned, we couldn't stay apart any longer and decided to mate. I suppose pain can bond people, because that's how we ended up falling in love.Zenab kept her voice smooth, sugary sweet, and filled with affection. She even gazed at Sander with adoration to make her story more believable, even though the only thing she truly wanted to do was laugh. It was almost amusing how he reflected her exaggerated love-struck expression back at her.'Damn, someone should nominate us for an Emmy for our outstanding performance,' she thought.Jaymie seemed convinced by the act, and suddenly pounced on her, enveloping her in a hug so tight that Zenab let out a painful yelp. She hated lying to Jaymie, but she felt trapped. She couldn't break Sander's terms; her and Red' sanity depended

    A week had passed since the incident, and Zenab was finally back home. Today, she was set to meet Emerald at last. It was also the day Sander planned to announce their upcoming wedding. They had postponed the announcement the previous week until Zenab had fully recovered, knowing she couldn't handle the media frenzy that would surely follow.Sander had visited Zenab daily while she was in the hospital, and they had finally signed their contract. The terms he proposed were fair, so Zenab had signed it without hesitation.'We're here.'Zenab read the text just as she heard a car pull into her driveway. Nervousness crept in about seeing Emerald. She had no idea what to expect. Would Emerald still resent her? Was she upset that Dave had compelled her to visit?The car door slammed, prompting Zenab to move. Grabbing her bag and keys, she opened her front door, locking it behind her. Turning around, she saw Dave striding toward her with palpable anger. Emerald remained in the car, absorbed

    Meanwhile, Dave stared at the woman he once believed loved him. She looked far from her usual impeccable self. Her hair had gone unbrushed for days, and her skin appeared pale and ashy. Even though her clothes had changed, they were nothing like her typical designer ensembles; it was clear she despised that. After the paternity tests were revealed, Sander had handed her over to the council for trial, accusing her of drugging him, taking advantage of him, and lying about the child she was carrying being his. Given his status as a prominent alpha, the council responded quickly, taking her into custody while she awaited trial. "Why Miles? Tell me why," he asked, unable to suppress the tremor in his voice. He was permitted this visit solely because he was her mate. Despite everything, he couldn't resist coming to her; he needed to understand why she had done this to him, to them. Nobody knew he was here; otherwise, this visit would not have been sanctioned. She shrugged dismissively.

    Just then, Mylene, known for her sharp tongue, walked by, casting Zenab a scathing look. Zenab returned the glare, unfazed. If Mylene thought intimidation would work, she was in for a surprise. "Don't mind her. She's held a torch for Sander since they were teens and is bitter he never saw her as more than a fling," the blue-eyed woman confided. "I'm Lesley, Micael's mate. We haven't been properly introduced since I was visiting my parent's pack when you arrived," she said, extending her hand. Zenab shook it, now understanding why Lesley seemed so familiar. "Zenab, but you already know that," she said sheepishly, and the woman just smiled widely. "You can call me Zen, though." They chatted for a while, and Zenab quickly found herself liking her. Zen reminded her so much of Jaymie, with their bubbly personalities and their unique ability to put anyone at ease. After about thirty minutes, Zen left, asking Zenab to promise they would hang out later. Zenab decided to check on Emeral

    Her smile faltered at his tone, and she nodded. Following Micael, they soon found themselves in the pack's dungeon. Miles was shackled to the floor, the arrogant, stunning woman Zenab was accustomed to now a memory. They spotted Dave, Jaymie, and Brennan waiting together alongside a man she guessed was the doctor. He appeared to be in his fifties, his hair streaked with gray, but he was fit and surprisingly handsome—if you were into older men. "Alpha, Luna," the doctor greeted Sander and Zenab. At this, Dave turned sharply, and a brief flash of pain crossed his face. Zenab quickly averted her gaze, choosing to focus on the doctor instead. Jaymie left her mate's side and came to stand beside Zenab, taking her hand and squeezing it in a gesture of support. Zenab didn't need to fake her concern; she was genuinely worried. If there was a baby and it turned out to be Sander's, it would alter everything. Brennan nodded at her in acknowledgment, and she smiled back—it was hard to hold a

    "My problem is dim-witted women like you who think they can take what's mine. Sander belongs to me, and nothing you do will change that," she declared with a smug smirk. "By the end of the day, it'll be my name on his lips, just as it has been since he severed his bond from that woman rotting in the dungeon." Zenab felt a jolt of surprise knowing Miles was in the dungeon, but she pushed it aside to deal with later. For now, she needed to confront this woman. Without hesitation, Zenab closed the distance and drove a punch to her midsection. The woman, unprepared, doubled over in pain. "You little bitch!" the woman screamed. Zenab fixed her with a steely glare. "Listen carefully. The next time you think of flinging insults at me, you should reconsider. If you ever spew such nonsense again, I'll make sure you regret it, and I'll display your skin as a trophy. I won't tolerate disrespect, especially from someone as insignificant as you. Consider this your first and last warning." Wit

    Zenab awoke with a pounding headache, the room entirely unfamiliar and inducing a brief moment of panic—until the comforting scent grounded her. Every inch of the space was infused with Sander's distinctive aroma. As she took in the surroundings, the décor, accented with dark hues, unmistakably reflected his personality. Although Zenab usually preferred vibrant colors, she found herself liking the palette shades used in the room. Rising to her feet, the world tilted slightly, prompting her to pause and regain her balance. Once the dizziness subsided, she made her way to what she assumed was the bathroom. Sunlight streamed through the curtains, suggesting that everything must have transpired the day before. "Red?" she called out. Upon entering, she discovered a bathroom that was every woman's dream. Having been accustomed to luxury given Dave's status as an alpha, this level of opulence exceeded all her expectations. She could easily imagine herself unwinding in the bathtub with a g

    Meanwhile, Dave remained in Sander's territory, staring into the void. The incident—Zenab's outburst and attack on Miles—had concluded. Zenab had been sedated and taken to their room, while Miles had been consigned to the pack dungeon. A profound coldness enveloped him. He felt utterly lost. How had things reached this point? He'd believed he possessed everything—his mate and daughter—only to discover it was a cruel deception. How could Miles betray him like this? He'd trusted her, given her a second chance after she'd chosen Sander a decade ago. Yet she cheated on him. How could everything unravel so completely? He heard footsteps, but remained leaning against the balcony, staring into the endless night. "You alright, Dave?" Brennan, his beta and Jaymie's mate, asked. How could he answer? He was adrift, unable to define his emotions. Was this normal—this emotional paralysis after such a devastating event? He felt numb yet raw with pain. "I don't know, man...I just don'

    Zenab stared at Miles, a woman who'd been a constant irritant since her return. Her hatred burned fiercely, especially now, so close to restoring her and Red's normalcy, only to have Miles ruin it. Fury consumed her; "angry" was a vast understatement."You can't mark her. I won't allow it," Miles insisted."Where do you get off thinking you can allow me to do anything?" Sander retorted coldly, causing Miles to flinch, her bravado dissolving.They were surrounded by Sander's pack, none of whom seemed to welcome Miles. Growls and menacing stares indicated a readiness to attack. Miles must have been truly reprehensible to inspire such animosity.Sander stood beside Zenab, unfazed, his gaze cool and calculating. While outwardly calm, Zenab knew the beast within—a predator poised to strike unexpectedly."Zenab!"Dave's voice cut through the night. He looked like a charging bull, having likely shifted to reach them so quickly—or perhaps he'd been nearby.He joined them, protectively envelop

    "You may now kiss the bride," hung in the air—a dread Sander had carried since the day began. He didn't do kisses. Never had, never would. He wasn't a virgin; he had sexual encounters, but that was the extent of it. His lips never touched a woman's body, a peck on Miles' cheek being the closest he'd come.The joyous guests erupted in cheers, eager for a display of affection—a display that wasn't going to happen. Sander stared at Zenab; her eyes were wide with panic, her mouth agape, like a deer caught in headlights. She was clearly unsure what to do, waiting for his cue.He wrapped an arm around her waist, his other hand cupping the back of her head. He smoothly swung her around, shielding them from the guests' view. This suited him perfectly.Instead of kissing her lips, he kissed her neck. Given their height difference, the guests wouldn't notice the deviation from a proper kiss. Their enthusiastic cheers confirmed their belief in the charade.A tremor ran through Zenab's body, caus

    "Would you please hold still?" Jaymie muttered, struggling to tie the laces of Zenab's wedding gown.Zenab's frustration erupted. "I can't!" she exclaimed. The day of her wedding had arrived, and she was a bundle of nerves, fidgeting uncontrollably, plagued by anxieties.The preceding week had flown by in a blur. Following the mall incident, she'd decided to design her own wedding gown, unwilling to risk another potentially dangerous shopping trip. Her company specialized in design; it was a logical solution to utilize her own employees' skills.Examining her reflection, Zenab was delighted with the result. She'd chosen a princess-style gown: a long-sleeved, high-necked illusion dress, adorned with rhinestones and delicately hand-sewn flowers."You look absolutely stunning," Jaymie whispered, her gaze reflecting Zenab's beauty. "Sander won't be able to take his eyes off you."Zenab grasped Jaymie's hand, squeezing it firmly. "Thank you, Jaymie."Indeed, she looked breathtaking. The dr
