40. Tides of Guilt and Grief

Tides of Guilt and Grief MILES’ POV I watched as Roxy’s mother was escorted into the dimly lit interrogation room; her hands were bound with silver cuffs that gleamed under the harsh light. Her face was streaked with dried tears, her eyes swollen and red. She kept her gaze firmly on the floor, avoiding mine like her shame was written on my face. Maybe she was replaying all the lies, the fake tears, the elaborate dramas she staged over Rhea’s pain and loss. And now, the truth was suffocating her. The gamma gestured for her to sit, and she sank into the chair opposite me like her knees couldn’t hold her anymore. “You know why I’m here, Mrs. Chapman,” I said, my voice cold. She shook her head slightly, her voice barely audible as she mumbled, “I don’t know, Alpha.” I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table, and let my voice drop lower, harsher. “I’m here for the truth. No more lies, no more games. Do you understand me?” Her head bobbed in a small, hesitant nod. “Yes,

41. Fate's Double Edge

Fate's Double Edge Seven Months Later... MILES’ POV I woke with a jolt as thunder roared across the night sky, followed by a flash of lightning that lit up the room for a brief moment. My heart was racing, though I couldn’t tell if it was from the storm or the dream I had just escaped. My sleep had been troubled for many months now. A lot of horrible things had happened, but at the top of my list was the disappearance of Rhea. I had searched everywhere, exhausted every lead, but it was as if she had been swallowed by the earth. I hadn’t given up, could never give up, but I had learned to function through the ache. Roxy and her mother had died on the same day. The poor woman couldn’t take the news of her daughter’s death; she had died of cardiac arrest. Things were gradually beginning to return to normal in Snowfall, although I knew deep down that nothing in my life would ever be normal again. It was only a matter of time before the pack started requesting a new Luna and an heir. B

42. Another Rejection

Another Rejection SEVEN YEARS LATER... RHEA’S POV “Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!” The off-key chorus from the crowd around me and the cake was both endearing and mildly amusing. I couldn’t help but smile widely as they clapped and cheered, their enthusiasm infectious. Then, as expected, the chants for me to cut the cake began. The lively group consisted of my colleagues from the clinic, my household help, and, of course, my little ray of sunshine, my son, Sekani. “Hip, hip, hip!” Stella shouted. “Hooray!” the others chorused. Sekani darted forward, clearly hiding something behind his back. His small face lit up with a grin. “Happy birthday, Mom! And congratulations on your big award!” “Aww, my sweet boy.” I cupped his cheeks with both hands, planting a kiss on his forehead. His hair smelled faintly of oranges, no doubt from the juice he had spilled earlier. Grinning, he thrust a brightly wrapped box into my hands. The shiny paper was tied with a lops

43. Closed Hearts

Closed Hearts MILES’ POV “Miles, the reporter from Alante is in the mansion. Remember what we discussed,” Evans’ voice came through the phone. “This is good for the business. Please don’t scare the poor woman away with your frosty alpha demeanor.” I grunted in response and ended the call without another word. Evans had spent weeks convincing me to let a reporter come into my home, considering how little interest I had in reporters snooping around my personal space, and I still wasn’t sure why I had caved. The last seven years had been rough on me, although internally. With Rhea gone and nowhere to be found, I had poured all my love and dedication into developing my pack, especially after that fatal blow I had from a rogue’s spear. I had developed Snowfall so much that we had tourists from all parts of the world coming in to spend holidays. Rico and I had expanded our businesses together, going into different ventures. Real Estate, stocks, technical assistance, name it. Mondragon h

44. Collision

Collision RHEA’S POV “Wow! This place is a wonder,” Stella exclaimed as we stepped out of the car and made our way toward the entrance of the medical research center. She wasn’t exaggerating. The place was nothing short of breathtaking. The sleek skyscraper stood tall, and the glass facade reflected the sunlight beautifully. Whoever funded this project clearly had deep pockets. The attention to detail was stunning, and as I stood there taking it all in, I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of pride. Being chosen as one of the event speakers was no small feat. Dr. Ivan emerged from the reception area before we could even get inside. His smile was so wide it practically radiated sunshine. “You’re here early, Ree,” he said, extending a hand. I returned his smile, shaking his hand warmly. “Oh, yes. I like to familiarize myself with the place before delivering a speech. It helps me feel more grounded.” “That’s great,” he said, holding the door open for us. “Thank you,” I replied as S

45. Collision 2

Collision 2 MILES’ POV “We’ve arrived just in time. The launch isn’t starting for another thirty minutes,” Rico announced as Holmes parked the hired car in the lot of the towering research center. I gazed out the window at the skyscraper, and a swell of pride rose in my chest. It was magnificent, and the atmosphere was serene. A few people were walking into the reception area, heading for the launch. “This place is stunning, Miles,” Evans said as we stepped out of the car. “This is our first venture so far from home. Quite the leap.” “Exactly,” I replied. “It’s a strategic move. We’re not just building businesses; we’re expanding influence. That’s how you stay ahead. We need a network across the world—that’s our goal.” “This pack feels peaceful,” Rico chimed in as he scanned the area. “Calm. I doubt they even know what a rogue attack feels like.” We made our way into the reception area, where the young receptionist immediately straightened at the sight of me. Her h

46. False Alarm

False Alarm YURI’S POV We all stood outside, across from the gleaming medical research center, watching as the Bomb Squad moved out. Everyone had been safely evacuated, but the unease lingered. Miles and his team were a few feet away. I made sure to position myself between him and Rhea, like a human barrier. Rhea was putting on a flawless display of composure; her chin was slightly raised, her eyes fixed on the squad as they made their way towards us. But I couldn’t say the same for Miles. He hadn’t taken his eyes off us—off me for a second. His jaw was clenched so tightly I half-expected his teeth to shatter, and his fists were balled like he was ready for war. Not that I cared. Let him simmer. The Bomb Squad leader approached the director. “Sir, we didn’t find any bombs inside the building. It must have been a false alarm.” The director exhaled heavily with relief. “Thank you,” he said, nodding with genuine gratitude. False alarm? Yeah, sure. Of course, there hadn’t been a bom

47. One Step Too Close

One Step Too Close RHEA’S POV "Ms. Marston, that was a great speech," one of the visiting alphas said with a broad smile. His Luna clung to his arm like he might float away without her, and he balanced a drink in his free hand. “Thank you,” I replied, returning the smile. "I'm glad it impressed you," Dr. Ivan chimed in beside me, practically glowing. "Ree here is incredible." We were now at the reception now. All the speeches, introductions, and investor acknowledgments were done, leaving everyone free to mingle and network. Yuri had thankfully wandered off to chat with some other alphas, leaving me with Dr. Ivan and Stella whose presence grounded me, and I tried not to think too much about the fact that Miles and his friends were here, standing just a few feet away. I dared not look his way, but from all indications, I knew his eyes had never left me. It left me confused. Why would he be staring at me? I tried not to dwell on it and instead focused on the other guests who were

48. One More Chance

One More Chance MILES’ POV “What’s your next step now?” Evans asked, setting his shot glass on the counter. His expression was taut. “You’re not seriously going to drown yourself in alcohol like you did seven years ago, right?” I sighed heavily, lifting my glass and gulping down another shot. The burn was almost comforting, though it did little to dull the sting of what I had seen earlier. My chest tightened at the memory of Yuri kissing Rhea—my Rhea. The pride I had felt watching her earlier was now tangled with anger and something I couldn’t quite name. My ex-wife, the woman I had wronged in more ways than I cared to admit, was now the nurse of her dreams. She had made it. She was thriving. I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she stood on that podium, speaking confidently to a room full of alphas, betas, and dignitaries. She commanded the space effortlessly as though she were born to lead it. Rhea had grown into someone even more remarkable than I had remembered. Sophisticated,

49. A Monday Surprise

A Monday Surprise RHEA'S POV “Good morning, Ree!” chirped Olivia, the ever-cheerful receptionist, with a broad smile as I stepped into the reception. “Good morning, Olivia!” I replied with equal cheer, making my way to her desk. “Don’t forget to grab a cookie. I made enough for everyone.” I extended the plate of freshly baked cookies toward her. Her face lit up as she reached for one. “Thanks, Ree! And by the way, congratulations on that killer speech over the weekend. Everyone’s been raving about it.” “Thank you, Olivia,” I said with a smile, adjusting my coat as I headed toward the staff lounge. “Morning, Ree!” a chorus of voices rang out as soon as I entered the lounge. “Good morning, everyone,” I greeted, setting the tray of cookies on the communal table. “Alright, people, fuel up. It’s Monday, and I don’t need anyone dragging their feet today!” A few chuckles broke out among the group as they swarmed the tray. I grabbed a couple of cookies for myself and left the lounge.
