RavenI stood in front of the mirror, my reflection staring back at me. Today was the day I would return to Black Stone Group, not as the dutiful wife Emerson expected, but as a woman with a plan. My hair was neatly styled, and my makeup was flawless, every detail carefully crafted to present myself as the perfect, composed wife of the Alpha. But beneath this polished exterior, a storm brewed. This wasn’t just about showing up for work. It was about plotting my revenge, learning Emerson’s secrets, and slowly tearing down the world he thought he controlled.I fastened the delicate gold necklace around my neck, its cool weight a reminder of the role I was playing. I needed to play this smart—act the part of the high-profile wife while moving silently, unnoticed, as I dismantled the foundation Emerson had built.There was a knock at the door, and I turned to see Emerson standing in the doorway, coffee in hand. He gave me a soft smile, the kind of smile that once would have melted me, but

RavenThe buzz of conversation and the clatter of footsteps slowly faded into the background. My mind raced with thoughts of what I had just learned, the threads of my plan slowly knitting together. But before I could fully settle into my thoughts, Marcus cleared his throat beside me. There was a certain seriousness in his expression that immediately caught my attention.“Raven,” he said, his voice lowering slightly as we walked down the long hallway. “There’s something I need to discuss with you. Something important.”I raised an eyebrow, glancing at him from the corner of my eye. Marcus had always been the voice of reason, the mentor who guided me through the toughest moments. If he was bringing something up now, it meant he thought it was critical. I nodded, indicating for him to go on.“Emerson spoke to me,” Marcus began, his voice careful and deliberate. “He mentioned that he’s noticed a change in you, something that’s been bothering him for a while. He’s concerned, Raven, and as

RavenThe tension was suffocating from the moment the car pulled into the driveway. Clark had driven me home in silence, his face betraying nothing, while I was lost in my own storm of thoughts. As soon as I stepped out of the car, I saw Emerson and Lila arriving at the same time. Great. I barely had time to prepare myself for another exhausting interaction with Emerson.I barely made it two steps toward the door when Emerson rushed to me, grabbing my arm more forcefully than I would’ve liked. His eyes were pleading, yet there was a desperation beneath them that I couldn’t quite place.“Raven,” he said, his voice low and strained, “we need to talk. Privately. We barely had time to speak at the office, and—”I yanked my arm from his grasp, glaring at him. “I don’t want to talk, Emerson.”Before I could walk away, Clark stepped in between us. His broad frame blocked Emerson from reaching me again, and his voice was calm yet firm. “If she doesn’t want to talk to you, Emerson, then you sh

Raven The cold night air still clung to my skin as I made my way back toward the house, each step heavier than the last. My thoughts were tangled, my emotions raw from everything that had happened. The moonlight illuminated the path before me, but it didn’t soothe the storm brewing inside my chest.As I approached the house, I saw a figure standing just outside the door. Clark. He was waiting for me, a heavy blanket draped over his arm, and a bottle of water in his other hand. I stopped in my tracks, my heart pounding with a mixture of irritation and confusion. Why was he here?“You’re freezing,” Clark said softly, stepping closer and offering the blanket. “Take this.”Without a word, I accepted it, wrapping the thick fabric around my shoulders. The warmth was immediate, but it didn’t thaw the coldness lingering in my heart. I took the bottle of water from him, my throat parched after the run. As I drank, my eyes unconsciously drifted upward, landing on Emerson’s window.There he sto

RavenThe next morning felt like a dull blur. The early rays of sunlight barely managed to seep through the thick curtains in my room, casting a soft glow across the floor. It was supposed to be a new day, a fresh start. But everything felt bland, muted, like the vibrant colors of life had drained away, leaving only shades of grey.Clark had left for work without a word. No lingering gazes, no witty remarks, no attempts to provoke me like he usually did. He had simply walked out of the house, leaving an unsettling emptiness in his wake. Strangely, it hurt. The silence, his absence… it shouldn’t have, but it did. At the same time, it made me feel better—relieved, even. Perhaps this was what I needed—a little distance from him, from the tangled mess of emotions he stirred within me.As I got ready, I tried to shake off the unease clinging to me. I couldn’t afford to dwell on Clark, not when my mind needed to stay sharp, focused on the real goal. Emerson. Lila. My revenge.Downstairs, I

Clark What was I thinking?The question kept circling in my mind, gnawing at me, replaying in an endless loop since the moment I’d made that stupid attempt to kiss Raven yesterday. I rubbed my jaw, the faint sting from her slap still echoing like a bitter reminder. What the hell was I even doing? I was supposed to be focused on my plan—on why I had come back in the first place. But one look at Raven’s sharp beauty, her captivating presence, and I’d lost my head, completely thrown off course.Her words still echoed in my mind, a stern warning to stay away from her, to respect her space. It wasn’t just her voice—it was the look in her eyes, that cold, hardened gaze that sent a chill through me. She meant every word.And what did I do? I made it worse. I made advances at her like an idiot, knowing full well she wasn’t in the right headspace for it. Hell, I wasn’t in the right headspace for it. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how reckless and impulsive I’d become around

ClarkI packed my files into my briefcase, my mind still replaying the earlier events of the day. The lingering feeling of Raven’s slap, the tension between us, and the way I couldn’t shake her from my thoughts weighed heavily on me. I needed to focus, needed to remember why I had come back in the first place. But it was hard, especially when every time I closed my eyes, her image flickered back into my mind.The door creaked open behind me, pulling me from my thoughts. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Marcus Greer. The man’s presence was like a shadow that never left, always hovering in the background, always watching.“Clark,” he greeted in that calm, measured voice of his. The kind of voice that made people listen, made them respect him. But not me. I didn’t respect Marcus Greer, not one bit.I turned to face him, forcing a neutral expression. “Marcus. Something on your mind?”Marcus closed the door behind him, his gaze sharp as he walked further into the room. He w

ClarkBy the time I got home, exhaustion had taken its toll. The day had been long and filled with tension, and I could feel the weight of it bearing down on me. I headed straight for the dining room, the faint clatter of dishes and silverware guiding me.As I approached, the scene before me felt like something out of a bad drama. Emerson sat at the head of the table, staring blankly at his plate, while Raven, across from him, toyed with her food in silence. Lila, of course, was seated nearby, her presence a constant thorn in my side. The quiet was heavy, and I could feel the tension the moment I stepped into the room.“Clark,” Emerson acknowledged without looking up, his voice tired. Raven didn’t even glance in my direction.I took a seat, feeling the need to break the ice. “I owe you an apology,” I said, looking directly at Emerson.That got his attention. He set his fork down and raised an eyebrow, clearly waiting for me to continue. Raven’s eyes flickered to me, though she remaine

ClarkThat night, no matter how hard I tried, sleep refused to come. My mind raced with too many thoughts, none of them helpful. It was well past midnight, and I could hear the faint sound of the house settling, everyone else probably asleep. But I wasn’t. I tossed and turned, staring at the ceiling, hoping for a reprieve that never came.With a heavy sigh, I threw back the covers and got out of bed. I pulled on a pair of pants, not bothering with a shirt, and quietly made my way downstairs. I needed a distraction, something to calm the storm in my head. A glass of water would do.As I stepped into the dark kitchen, I flicked on the light, the sudden brightness making me squint. But what really startled me was the figure standing by the fridge.“Raven?” I asked, not expecting anyone else to be awake.She turned to face me, eyes wide for a brief second before a small smile curled her lips. “Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.”I blinked, a little thrown off by the way she said it, almos

ClarkThe weekend had come quicker than I expected. The days had blurred together, filled with work and the deliberate effort of staying in my own lane, like I’d promised. I hadn’t spoken to Raven since that night in the kitchen—the night I cooked for her, the night I’d kissed her cheek and walked away before I could do something stupid.I thought keeping my distance would make things easier. It didn’t. It just made me think about her more. And that was dangerous.By Saturday, I knew I needed a distraction, something to take my mind off Raven. That’s why I set up the date with Mia. We’d been seeing each other for a few months now—casual, nothing serious. She was beautiful, charming even, but I’d always kept things light with her. Now, sitting across from her at the restaurant, I couldn’t help but compare her to Raven, which wasn’t fair. Mia was pretty in a soft, conventional way, but Raven… Raven was something else entirely. She had a beauty that was sharp, dangerous, like it could cu
