I stumbled out of the hospital, my scrubs clinging to me like a second skin. The neon lights flickered as I clutched my bag, exhaustion weighing me down. All I wanted was to crawl into bed and let the world disappear, but life had other plans.My phone buzzed just as I was about to get into my car. I fetched it out of my pocket, hoping it was Jason, my expression turning hopeful. But it was a message from an anonymous number. I furrowed my brows, quickly unlocking my phone to see what was so urgent."Emma, you deserve the truth. Jason is with another woman right now. I've seen them at The Silver Moon Bar. She's some rich heiress. – A friend."My heart sank, dread pooling in my stomach. I felt paralysed for a moment, contemplating whether to ignore it or go investigate. As much as I wanted to trust Jason, a gut feeling told me something was off.Deciding I needed to see it with my own eyes, I drove to The Silver Moon Bar, my heart pounding. When I arrived, the bustling crowd and the di

As we sped to the hospital, I sat next to Lena as she gripped my hand tight. As we pulled up to the hospital, everyone jumped out, rushing inside. Getting to the front desk, my father began to ask where Nicholas was when a doctor came up behind us."Family of Nicholas Blackthorn?" he asked."Yes, I'm his wife, Lena", Lena answered, her voice quivering. “is he okay?”"I’m Dr. Carter. Nicholas sustained severe injuries in a car accident. He has multiple fractures in his legs and spine. Unfortunately, he might not regain full use of his legs."Lena gasped, and I felt her grip tighten on my arm. Seeing her like this, so fragile and vulnerable, stirred something in me. I wanted to hold her and take away all her pain."Can she see him?" I asked for her because I could see she was seconds away from having a breakdown.Dr. Carter nodded, and I went to let go of Lena's hand to let her follow the doctor, but she gripped my hand tighter, telling me that she wanted me with her.Together, we follo

I didn't want to go to the hospital. The thought of being around my family, playing along with their deceit and schemes, made my skin crawl. But Beta James had made it clear: Nicholas had awakened and demanded our presence. The word of the Alpha was law, and my feelings had no place in the immediate future.As I walked into the hospital with Lena and my parents trailing behind them, the tension between us was palpable. Lena’s manicured hand gripped her phone tightly, her face a mask of controlled panic, and my father’s silenced rage simmered beneath his business-casual facade. We stepped into Nicholas’s room. He was sitting up in bed, looking healthier than I had expected, but with a stern expression that spoke volumes. Guilt welled up inside me, choking my ability to form words. What could I say? That his wife had been lying to him? That she was already proclaiming love to another man in secret corners? It wasn’t my place, and I had no choice as much as I hated now being tangled in

Leaving the hospital felt surreal. The world seemed oddly unchanged while my life was getting more tangled by the minute. The thickness of the envelope in my hand was a constant reminder of the complex web of loyalty, betrayal, and duty that now ensnared me. As I parked in front of my family's mansion, nausea churned my stomach. I couldn't bring myself to feel at home here anymore. I hesitated for a moment, running my fingers over the coarse edge of the envelope meant for Lena. With a sigh, I steeled myself and walked up to the door, opting to knock instead of strolling in as I used to. Something fundamental within these walls had changed, and barging in seemed wrong.The door creaked open, and there stood Lena. As soon as she saw me, her face twisted into an expression of pure rage.Her eyes blazed with fury. "What do you want?" she snapped venom in her voice. "Actually, I don't care," she spat out, turning sharply and storming off into the depths of the house.Taking a deep breath,

Nicholas POVAs soon as Emma left the room, the silence was a suffocating blanket. With a heavy sigh, I let my head fall back against the pillows, my mind spinning with conflicting emotions. The bitterness of Lena's betrayal was still fresh in my heart. It was as though the Moon Goddess herself took pleasure in twisting my fate in a cruel way, punishing me in ways that I wouldn’t wish upon my enemies.I closed my eyes and reached out to James, my Beta, through our mind link. **"James, Emma has agreed to be my nurse. Can you make up the guest bedroom for her?"** My silent request echoed in the empty spaces of my thoughts.James’s reply was unwavering. **"Understood, Alpha."**I took a moment to gather myself before speaking again. **"And I want you to pick her up tomorrow morning at 9 am."****"Understood, Alpha,"** came James’s prompt reply, his tone never faltering in its loyalty.Opening my eyes, I stared down at my useless legs. The rage that built inside me was a palpable force, t
