All Chapters of Caught by the Billionaire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 51My words hung in the air as Lila stared at me, her eyes wide. "Voodoo?" she whispered.I nodded. "He said it isn't like what you see in the movies. He assured me she's the real deal. And if anyone can help me, it'll be her."The thought of delving into such a mystical world was terrifying, but where I was heading was more so. I had to break free of this—connection—with Alex. I had to take back control of my own destiny.Slowly, Lila nodded. "Okay," she said hesitantly. "If we're gonna do this thing, then let's do it!""Are you sure?" I asked. "You don't have to come with me, Lila. Remy said he would.""I'm sure," she replied, but I knew she wasn't. Not really.~~Minutes later, we left the apartment, the connection between me and Alex tugged at me with every step. The city streets were still busy, people milling about, talking, laughing. I wanted to feel the same emotions, to feel something other than this awful caged in sensation. The smell of spice floated in the air, bu

~ELYSIA~I stared into the crystal ball with a mix of fascination and horror. The images swirled and shifted within its depths as Madame Okta held her hands near the ball. Inside I could see a world that was beautiful and terrifying at the same time.'You must face the darkness within,' Madam Okta had said. Her words now resonated within my mind. 'You must be willing to let go of what you fear most.' What was it I feared the most? Was I afraid of losing Alex? Afraid of becoming what he wanted me to be?As I glanced at Lila, her eyes reflected the same emotions as mine, and as we stared at the ball, its interior grew clearer and clearer. Inside, a woman suddenly emerged, dressed in flowing robes─her eyes burning with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine."This one can help you break the bond," Madame Okta whispered, the hushed tone only adding to the already creepy atmosphere.Eyes glued to the crystal, I watched as the robed woman raised a hand, and suddely the temperature in

Elysia's rejection was a slap in the face, leaving me reeling as I stumbled back towards the mansion. The taste of the whiskey I had drank, still lingered on my tongue, momentarily numbing the pain she had caused. Yet, the ache in my chest remained, and it seemed it was growing with each step I took away from her. I didn't understand how she couldn't feel that the bond still existed. Every fiber of my being knew it was there. Weak, yes, but there.Changing into my wolf form, it didn't take me long to reach the mansion, but as I ran, my mind raced. I needed to get control of myself again, to take charge of the chaotic mess I had become.As I entered the backyard of the mansion, I changed back into my human shape, and moving forward, I peered into the shadows dancing in the light breeze, sensing a few members of our pack. A figure emerged, followed by several more and as they stepped into the moonlight, I could see their expressions were a mix of desperation and fear.One of them stepp

As the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, I pushed them fully open, allowing the warmth of the sunlight to caress my face. Gazing out, I watched the world come to life, the darkness retreating before the dawning of a new day.Outside the walls of my room, the mansion was eerily silent, as if it too knew what was about to unfold. It had been years since a council meeting had been held within its walls. There was a time, the mansion had been something other than a single man's domain and a BDSM club. It had held and protected the Landry pack; it was my fault it was no longer the refuge for them it had once been. After Kira's dissapearance, I'd handed the reigns of Alpha over to Marcus, and he had moved the whole pack to his own mansion and grounds. Now, as I peered out, seeing the gardens, the encroaching treelines, I realized there was nothing left that indicated that a flourishing pack had once lived here. I didn't regret stepping down, for I had needed the time to he

Days turned into weeks, and with each passing hour, the pack grew stronger. The once prison-like structure of Marcus's mansion was abandoned, and the pack moved back to the Landry mansion and grounds they had once called their home. As I shut down the club, the echoes of music and laughter were replaced by a tranquil peace. The mansion and its surrounding grounds, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, slowly transformed into a sanctuary once more. And yet, amidst the progress, a sense of loneliness enveloped me.Elysia's absence was a constant ache in my heart, a wound that refused to heal. I had resigned myself to the belief that it never would. But one evening, as I sat in the now-peaceful garden, a gentle breeze carried her scent to me, faint but unmistakable. My head snapped up, and my eyes darted around, desperately searching the shadows, hoping against hope that she had come to me.Footsteps, soft and hesitant, grew closer. Emerging from the darkness, she finally stood bef
