Ian

Another week gone by with no trace of Heather no matter the resources I poured into finding her. My brother Tyler chattered away in the passenger seat, still hung up on some mystery woman he'd briefly crossed paths with. Meanwhile Heather continued to haunt my every thought.

We were driving through yet another idyllic small town, eyes peeled for any hint of Heather. Just then a woman wandered absently into the road ahead. I slammed the brakes, tires screeching as our eyes met with a jolt of recognition - Heather!

She stood frozen, staring dumbly as if unable to comprehend my sudden appearance. My heartbeat quickened, but irritation followed close behind. I hated when women gawked at me only because of my wealth and notoriety, as if I were a shiny object to possess.

A crowd started gathering, their focus on me rather than the woman I'd nearly run down. With an impatient sigh, I sent her off in an ambulance and paid a generous compensation to avoid a scene. These small towns loved

    IanNo, this is not happening!I stood up and approach the door want to go to her thank goodness she can't run this time I'll go to her cafe.Or her home. Just then I saw he grumbling like a little girl. As her friend pushed her out of the car. I feel my heart gets calm and start beating fast. It was as if a teenager seeing his first love.She was in a classy outfit that clung to her body and sexy as fuck. ...Heather"That's it, we're going shopping!" Aria declared, dragging me from the cafe the moment Ian left. "What? Why?" I protested even as she hustled me to her car."To find you a killer outfit for your date tonight!" Aria said matter-of-factly. "If Mr. Billionaire is willing to stalk you across the state, we need to make an impression."I sighed but couldn't suppress a smile at her determination. We closed the cafe early and hit the shops. Aria was merciless, shoving outfit after outfit into my arms. "Too frumpy...makes you look like a nun...oh that's cute!"After what felt

    TylerI drummed my fingers impatiently on the armrest as Ian drove us through yet another quaint village. My thoughts kept drifting back to the beautiful mystery woman I'd glimpsed earlier. When Ian had nearly hit that pedestrian, I’d been distracted by the alluring brunette who rushed to help. Our eyes met for a brief electric moment before Ian whisked us away. While my brother obsessed over some Heather woman from his past, I was captivated by this fiery angel who’d burst into my humdrum life. Ian insisted we were here tracking down his lost love or whatever, but I had an ulterior motive - finding that enchanting girl who’d left me utterly smitten.As we pulled into a cozy cafe, I perked up. Maybe I’d catch another glimpse of my enthralling stranger here. But as Ian stiffened, I realized this was no chance stop. “Well, if it isn’t the woman who’s been haunting my thoughts, Heather my dear,” Ian purred to the pretty barista. His lost love, apparently. She was cute, but had nothing

    AriaI slipped into the driver's seat, heart still fluttering from my encounter with Tyler. Beside me, Heather was grinning ear to ear. "Sooo, looks like you and Playboy really hit it off," she said, eyebrows raised suggestively.I rolled my eyes, backing the car out of the lot. "Oh please, I still think he's an arrogant billionaire like the rest." But even I didn't fully believe that anymore."Mhmm, sure," Heather said skeptically. "Is that why you're blushing and can't stop smiling?" I scowled, feeling my cheeks flush deeper. "Am not! I'm just laughing at his cheesy attempts to flirt." I tried my best to seem nonchalant. Heather wasn't buying it. "Don't try to deny it, I saw how charming and sweet he was with you all evening." She grinned knowingly. "He's quite the charmer when he wants to be."I gripped the steering wheel, flustered. "Alright fine, he was...not as insufferable as I expected." I thought back to our lively debates about books and movies. "I guess he's kind of funn

    AlexUgh, morning came way too early. I blinked groggily at my alarm before dragging myself out of bed. Just another day at boring old school. After getting ready for school, I shuffled into the kitchen where Mom was cooking breakfast. "Morning sweetie!" she said cheerfully. "Want some eggs and toast?""Sure, thanks," I mumbled, still not fully awake. I sat at the table and Mom slid a plate in front of me. We ate, and she started chatting excitedly about her dinner last night with the Ian guy. I nodded along, only half listening as she gushed about how charming and persistent he was to track her down."Isn't it just romantic?" Mom sighed dreamily. "He must really care to go through so much effort to find me."I suppressed an eye roll. Grown-up romance stuff wasn't really my thing. But Mom seemed happier than she'd been in a while, so I was glad for her. "So you really like this Ian guy then?" I asked.Mom blushed slightly. "I mean, I'm still being cautious, but he's definitely mad

    MariaI woke up to the usual sounds of arguing downstairs. Dad was yelling at Ella again over something minor. He always found an excuse to lash out at us most especially when he's drunk. "Get me another bottle, if you want to go to school." I overheard him him yelling at her.With a sigh, I dragged myself out of bed, bracing for another miserable day.In the kitchen, Dad didn't even look up from his newspaper as I quietly made some toast for us to had breakfast.He hadn't directly addressed me in weeks. Ever since for a long time now, it was like I ceased to exist in his eyes. My sister Ella shot me an apologetic glance as she hurried to grab her school bag so we can leave. Mouthing a "Don't let him get you you." I smiled at her bravery. She's so matured for a 13yr old. Well in this house she has to. At 13 years old, she was already gorgeous - tall, slim, with perfect hair and skin. Dad doted on her constantly, pride shining in his eyes whenever he looked her way.Meanwhile I was

    Archer"Fuck.""Fuck! Fucking fuck!!" I shouted punching the air as I ran a hand in my hair."No...no this isn't happening again." I yelled as I kept on running.My hands wouldn't stop shaking as I sped away into the night. What the hell did I just do? That wasn't supposed to happen. I had only meant to scare Maria, not actually stab someone. When her friend Alex jumped in front of my knife, it was too late to pull back. I'll never forget his agonized scream or the blood gushing over my hands. And Maria's wrenching sobs as she pleaded for him to hold on.I gritted my teeth, hitting the steering wheel angrily. This was bound to make things worse with my father. He already hated me over that boy's death years ago that I got blamed for. But I never touched him! The truth didn't matter though. Once my father decided I was guilty, that was it.He sent me away because I "shamed" the family name. Nevermind that he was the one cheating on my mom right under her nose. No, in his mind I was th

    Luna MaraMy heart dropped when Kelvin reported that Archer was involved in a violent incident. That foolish boy! I thought I taught him better than to act so rashly. I know my son has a good heart deep down. But he lets his emotions get the better of him, like his father. Lucas always did value cold strength over sensitivity.Well, I refuse to give up on my only child as his father did. I must go see Archer and help fix this situation before Lucas hears of it. That man looks for any excuse to punish the son he never wanted.At least I convinced Kelvin, my most trusted guard, to keep quiet for now. He is fond of Archer, and knows Lucas's cruelty better than most. I'm grateful he remains loyal to me even now that I've fallen from mate to lowly mistress.Here in the cold, empty manor I once called home, the other wolves mock and revile me. Lucas parades his new concubines around proudly now. He forgot me as soon as the shine wore off, leaving me barren and discarded.....After Archer

And I'm having a bad migraine.As alpha, power and luxury were mine. Yet sometimes I yearned for a more visceral thrill to break up the tedious routine. Right on cue, my newest concubine Nala slinked into my private study. "Great work My Alpha." She called in a tempting manner. With her voluptuous curves barely concealed by a scrap of sheer fabric, her intentions were clear. "Ahh." I groan as my eyes scan her from head to toe."You work too hard, my alpha," she purred, boldly climbing into my lap. "Let me relieve some of that tension..."I grinned wolfishly, all too willing to indulge in this diversion. As Nala trailed seductive kisses down my neck, I pulled her closer, relishing her soft whimpers of desire. Just as my roving hands began to wander, the doors banged open. I cursed under my breath as Nala leapt away. My inter

    And as he does so, he answers the question he literally forced me to ask while my moans and screams are confused with eachother. "No one else fucking wants you", his moves are so tight and almost forceful that I can't help but wonder how in the world he still has all that stamina. "It hurts", I moan as I try to reach for his waist and push again, but he slaps my hands away and grabs my boobs. "Didn't you want it hard? I'm doing just that, or do you want me to leave? Did you have a change of mind?" His fingers are giving my nipples the tightest pinch they've ever gotten and his palms remain firmly pressed on my breasts. "You'll barely be able to walk when I'm done", he pauses as I start to feel his manhood harden and pulsate inside of me. Dripping hot precum also starts to coat my inside and mix with my wetness as he continues his movement. "And you know what will happen when I'm done?", through my glassy eyes, I notice the smirk on his face, "I'll take you again and again a

    Heather With Mara gone, the estate felt peace and calm, like the storm had passed. Some funny thing is no one grieved over Mara's death, even though she was once the Luna. Even her son, Archer. Lucas never loved her in the first place. He softened to me and more wary of letting fear rule him. Our bond emerged stronger for enduring the trial. Together Lucas and I slowly mended torn relationships throughout the pack, reassuring all of our peaceful intentions. Keegan’s wisdom and discretion proved invaluable in maintaining stability through the transition. And Alex’s calm strength gave me courage when threats of fresh dissent arose. He would make a fine leader someday, if we could break the bleak cycle of suspicion and isolation. Archer remained more inscrutable, keeping his own counsel for a time. But Alex's tireless faith seemed to gently erode his walls. And seeing Lucas choose unity over vengeance clearly gave him much to ponder internally. I hoped in time the seeds of healing

    Archer's POV The commotion in the hallway drew everyone's alarmed attention from the dinner table. Shouts echoed, then Keegan appeared supporting mother's distressingly still form. Dark blood stained her robes and face."What has happened?" Father demanded, rushing over with the others. But none needed ask as the gruesome truth became painfully clear. Mother had taken her own life, reasons unknown. An icy void opened within me. I know why. She chooses this for herself.In the chaotic hours that followed, I retreated numbly to the solitude of the grounds, tormented by guilt and questions. What had driven the proud Alpha female to such an extreme end? She had appeared the very picture of health mere hours before at dinner. Nothing made sense.Over the next harrowing days, the murky circumstances came to light under Keegan's discretionary investigation. Among mother's things he uncovered incriminating letters - one for father pleading again to cast out Heather before she destroyed him.

    MaraBitterness churned within me as Lucas welcomed Heather back so readily after all the grief her disappearance caused. She had stolen his affections from me long ago with her bewitching powers, and now the spell was cast anew despite my warnings. Lucas was blind in his obsession once more.I would not let her destroy my son again. Since reasoned arguments proved futile, more duplicitous means were required. I slipped tiny portions of monkshood tincture each day into Heather's wine at dinner, under guise of graceful hospitality. Just enough to make her sickly, not draw suspicion. Soon parallel symptoms began appearing in my soft-headed son as well - fatigue, headaches, fits of anger. But it was necessary collateral damage to free him from her toxins. Once weaned off her presence, Lucas would regain his senses. I remained vigilant for any opportunity to administer larger, more disfiguring doses when the time was right.But fate conspired against me when Archer noticed his ailing fat

    LucasThe long road of recovery thereafter was its own grueling nightmare. My own weakness disgusted me. But Heather and Alex stayed steadfast through every faltering step, humiliation, and defeated curse. Their faith fueled me like oxygen to resume the fight each day. Leaving the bleak hospital at last to continue healing surrounded by family brought profound peace. Despite my grandmother's lingering wariness, she and Mara welcomed Heather back graciously. The circle had held through our darkest hour.My body gradually mended, though the leg brace and cane still left me reliant on others' assistance shamefully often. But Heather never allowed me to slip into despair, staying bright and gently scolding when I cursed my feeble condition too harshly. Her inner light sustained me, even through my blackest moods.Alex too helped ease the restlessness, smiling encouragement through each halting mile walked together around the grounds. In his eyes I glimpsed again the heroic father I had p

    Heather Everything happened so fast - the gun, Lucas diving to shield me, the deafening crack of the shot. Then Lucas crumpling heavily to the floor amidst the chaos, dark red blooming across his chest. The scream trapped in my throat escaped as a shattered gasp. I rushed to Lucas's side with Alex, pressing my hands desperately against the gushing wound. Lucas's face had gone pale and slack, barely conscious. "No no no, stay with me!" I begged him. Our surroundings faded away, Ian's deranged shouting, the sirens outside, everything but Lucas's dimming eyes locked on mine. "Heather...forgive me..." he rasped faintly, each word clearly agonizing. His hand found mine, grip feeble. "Tell...Alex..." "Shhh don't speak, save your strength!" I pleaded, tears blurring my vision. But his eyes slid closed, body going limp. "Lucas! Lucas please!" My broken sobs echoed in the sudden quiet.Everything after became a hellish blur - police and paramedics storming in, Ian screaming threats and cu

    LucasRage boiled through my veins as Richard tried to hit their car. I watched Keegan speed off with Heather. And I feel at ease. That damned snake Richard had nearly killed her! If I had arrived seconds later...I cut off the chilling thought, forcing icy composure over the maelstrom inside me. Now was not the time for blind fury. Richard remained barely conscious at my feet, helpless prey awaiting judgment. I could make his death agonizingly slow, wring every scream from his worthless hide... But no. That was the old madness. I would not sink to his level, however deserved such vengeance might be. Death would come by my hand swift and clean. The serpent had stolen too much time from me already.I hauled Richard up by his torn shirt, claws piercing through the thin fabric to dimple his skin. He peered at me with dazed yet defiant hatred. "You should have stayed dead, snake," I rumbled. My hand flexed, ready to shred his throat out in one vicious stroke. This would finally be fini

    71 Heather's POV:My head spun as Keegan wove the disturbing tale of Ian's - no, Richard's - true identity and motives. The friend I had trusted so implicitly was merely using me as a pawn in some toxic feud with Lucas. And now he was regaining dangerous lucidity in the backseat, malice smoldering in his eyes."Just focus on the road ahead," I told Keegan, trying to ignore Richard's presence behind us. I clutched Alex's hand like a lifeline. We were so close now to real freedom. I refused to let Richard's poisonous schemes drag us back under. Not this time. Alex gave my hand a determined squeeze, meeting my gaze steadily despite the fear in his eyes. My brave boy. We would face whatever came next together. I offered him a reassuring smile before turning to Keegan."What's the plan once we get some distance?" I asked, keeping my tone low. Keegan's brow creased in focus as he navigated busy streets. "I have contacts out of state who can help get you set up with new identities and pap

    Keegan Getting inside proved simple once Ian was safely unconscious - the wards recognized his signature and granted entrance readily. Moving cautiously, I followed the scent trails further inside until I located Heather and Alex in a barren side room. They both startled violently at my entrance with Ian's body slung over my shoulder."Keegan!" Heather gasped out, shock and alarm widening her eyes. "What are you doing here? What's wrong with Ian?" She started to rush over but I halted her with an upraised hand. "Please, I beg you to hear me out Heather. Ian is only sedated, so I could speak freely." I lowered Ian's limp form to the floor. "There are truths you need to understand before this goes any further."Alex moved in front of his mother protectively. "Truths? More like Lucas sent his lackey here to drag us back!" His young face hardened. "Well you can forget it, we're never going near him again."I held the boy's glare evenly. "I know you have no reason to trust me. But neithe
