Seventy-One

Alexis Alpha Orion's dining room looked like a set piece for a tacky reality TV show, all chandeliers and silverware gleaming as if trying to outshine the sun itself, as though wealth could make up for personality, charm, or intelligence. Byron had dragged me here to attend another one of his ridiculous charades, rubbing elbows with people who thought their gold-plated opinions were worth more than anything else.I kept my smile tightly in place, but my mind was already plotting ways to escape without bursting into flames from secondhand embarrassment. I'd lose it if I had to pretend to care about these ridiculous people for one more minute.And then there were the wives. Oh, the wives. Drenched in designer gowns that seemed to weigh them down. Every gesture they made was an attempt to remind the room how much money they spent on themselves. Layla, the Blood Moon pack's Luna, sashayed to me. The heavy, suffocating cloud of her perfume hit me before she did, a mix of too many layers

Seventy-Two

Alex The rally was alive with energy as I stepped onto the stage. The party had decided to put me front and center, and I knew the stakes were higher than ever. This wasn’t just about a campaign but about taking down my father’s dynasty and my brother’s shameless ambition. I imagined the smug faces of my father and Byron, both undoubtedly glued to their screens, waiting to see if I’d falter.The crowd roared as I approached the podium. Their cheers vibrated through the air like thunder. I took a deep breath and gripped the edges of the podium to steady myself. The blazing lights and cameras pointed in my direction reminded me that this wasn’t just about the people in front of me. It was live, and every word I said would reach my supporters and enemies.“Thank you all for coming here today. Thank you for believing in a better future. Not just for this pack, but for everyone silenced, ignored, or oppressed under the current leadership.”The crowd quickly quieted to hear what I had to s

Seventy-Three

Alex The morning of the election felt heavier than any other day. I woke up before the sun even dared to rise. Deep down, I already knew how this was going to end. Byron was going to win. It was stupid to underestimate him—he had always been two steps ahead, and the rigging machine he had in place would ensure it. Still, this wasn’t about winning anymore. If he did win, it would only give me more evidence to expose him for the fraud that he was.I dragged myself out of bed. After freshening up, I went to the kitchen, poured a cup of strong black coffee, and leaned against the counter, letting the bitterness wake me up. The morning light spilled through the windows but didn’t feel warm or comforting. It felt like a spotlight on the chaos that was my life.When I met with my team, we were busy with last-minute strategies and rehearsals. Everyone buzzed with nervous energy, talking over one another as they finalized plans. I tried to focus, but my mind kept drifting. The truth was, no

Seventy-Four

Alexis The muffled voices of Byron and his team echoed downstairs. I pressed myself against the cold marble of the pillar, straining to hear every word. Byron’s voice was dripping with venom and grew louder with every sentence.“The fucking bastards is demanding a recount,” Byron growled. “Can you believe the audacity? I will not let him ruin everything I’ve built.”I peeked around the pillar and saw him pacing like a caged beast. His team sat around the table, stiff and uncomfortable, as if trapped by a ticking bomb.One of the men, a thin, nervous-looking guy with glasses, cleared his throat hesitantly. “Alpha Byron, maybe we should—”“Maybe we should WHAT?” Byron exploded, his voice reverberating through the room like thunder. His face turned red, and his hand slammed down on the table so violently that the glasses rattled. “Go ahead, tell me. What brilliant idea do you have that I haven’t already considered?”The man’s hands trembled as he fumbled with a piece of paper. “I was ju

Seventy-Five

Alexis The private jet screamed luxury like it had been ripped straight out of a magazine. The leather seats were so polished they reflected my face, and the soft lighting tried its hardest to make me forget how stressful life had been. A mini-bar was stocked with beverages and snacks arranged like they were auditioning for a photoshoot.The carpet was the kind that made you want to bury your toes in it. Alex guided me inside, carrying Valen, who was a ragdoll of exhaustion.The soft hum of the jet made me forget the chaos we had just escaped. Relief washed over me like a long-overdue shower. Finally, we were leaving. Not “going away for a bit” leaving, but “good riddance, Byron, may you choke on your lies” leaving.Alex placed Valen carefully onto one of the back couches. His large hands moved with such tenderness that it made my chest ache. He covered Valen with a blanket. My baby looked peaceful, and his tiny chest was rising and falling like he didn’t have a care in the world.Al

Seventy-Six

AlexWhen Valen asked his mother to call Byron again, I felt like my chest was about to explode. He kept asking for Byron like the pig was some goddamn superhero. Byron, who couldn’t give two shits about him unless it served his selfish agenda. Byron probably couldn’t spell love without making it about himself. And yet, Valen idolized him like I didn’t exist. It was irritating, a gut punch, and a cosmic joke at my expense.I was the one who wanted the best for him, who’d give up everything to make sure he was happy and safe. And what does he do? Look past me like I’m furniture and chase after a man who sees him as nothing more than a photo-op or a political pawn. I wanted to grab Valen by the shoulders and shout, “Wake up! I’m your father!” But I couldn’t. Because as much as I hated this whole twisted situation, I couldn’t wreck him. He was a little kid. And kids don’t deserve to have their worlds torn apart because their parents can’t get their shit together.So I swallowed the ra

Seventy-Seven

Alex The journey back to the pack had been fucking stressful, but the 10-hour trip on the train was behind us. I had half expected Byron to have someone vandalize my home in my absence, but when I opened the door to my house, it was untouched.My familiar scent greeted me as I stepped inside. Gianna followed quietly, looking like she was carrying the weight of a thousand burdens. I didn’t blame her.“You take the bed,” I said, pointing toward my bedroom. “I’ll take the couch.”Too tired to argue, she gave me a weak nod and disappeared down the hallway. I heard the faint creak of the mattress as she collapsed onto it, and I sighed, running a hand through my hair. After sleeping for a bit, I whipped up a quick batch of pancakes. It felt strange doing something so mundane while everything around me was chaos, but I was starving.I called Alexis while waiting for the pancakes to cook. Her soft voice immediately filled the line, tinged with concern.“I saw Gianna on the train,” I said af

Seventy-Eight

Alexis The past few days had been balancing between keeping Valen entertained and ensuring he didn't dwell on his constant question: Where’s Daddy?It was exhausting. My mornings were a string of trying new tactics. First, I hooked him on colorful and loud cartoons to capture his attention. He liked the ones with superheroes, laughing hysterically when the characters performed exaggerated moves. When he got bored with that, he played with his tablet loaded with games, and we spent hours playing together. It worked until he got tired because I had to pretend to be terrible at the games to keep him laughing.When the house felt too small, I decided to take him to the arcade center near the cabin. Valen’s face lit up the moment we walked in. The place was buzzing with the sounds of pinball machines, whirring motors from racing games, and the occasional shriek of a kid celebrating a win.I watched as he ran from one game to another. His fingers grabbed the controls with determination. Wa

Seventy-Nine

AlexisValen sat cross-legged on the bed and fumbled with the edge of the blanket and I joined him. The conversation I was about to have with him wasn’t one I’d ever thought I’d need to have so early, but life had a way of fucking things up.“Honey, do you know what it means to be gentle?”He tilted his head at me. “Like when I pet Rocky, daddy's dog?” His innocent answer made me chuckle.“Sort of,” I said, ruffling his hair. “Being gentle doesn’t just mean with animals. It’s about how you treat people too—especially girls.”He frowned slightly, clearly trying to process my words. “Why?”“Because, sweetheart, any boy who hurts a girl is a coward. It’s never okay to lay your hands on someone in anger, especially someone you’re supposed to protect.” “Like that man?”My chest tightened. For a moment, I was terrified he’d say “Daddy.” But he didn’t, and relief washed over me when I realized he was referring to the idiot who attacked me earlier.“Yes, like that man. That’s why it’s import

Eighty

AlexisValen munched on his third can of Pringles beside me and littered the sheets with crumbs. My nerves were shot, and the thin walls of the cabin offered no comfort against the silence that loomed like a predator. Alex had warned me not to leave the room, and I intended to listen, but fear had a way of creeping into my bones, making me feel like every creak in the floorboards was the sound of someone breaking in. That guy from earlier kept haunting my thoughts.Valen was behaving unusually well. His innocent questions about why we couldn’t go outside had dwindled into quiet obedience, and for that, I was grateful. The little food we had was running low. I was rationing snacks, though I prayed that stuffing him with Pringles wouldn’t upset his stomach later. I couldn’t stop counting down the minutes until Alex would return.I turned on the TV but quickly realized it wasn’t a distraction. The sitcoms felt empty, and the news was worse, filled with voices I didn’t want to hear and
