His Regret Began When She Let Go
"I want to know," Marissa said, placing a hand on her stomach, "if you'll be here to watch me give Bryce the child you never could." She snapped.
Rachel's blood ran cold. Of course! she was right.
***

Chapter: Epilogue ~{~ EPILOGUE ~}~~Five Years Later~~Morning sunlight poured softly through the large windows of the Morello mansion while chaos echoed from the second floor.“Absolutely not.”“Daddy!”“No.”“Daddy, please!”Dominic stood in the middle of the hallway already dressed for work while a tiny girl clung dramatically to his leg like her life depended on it.Her curly dark hair looked messy from sleep, and her large eyes, unfortunately, looked exactly like Rachel’s.Which meant Dominic lost arguments against her far too often.“Aria,” he said firmly while trying to peel her tiny arms away from him, “you are not climbing that tree again.”“But Luca said I can do it!”Dominic’s expression darkened instantly. “Where is Luca?”A loud crash sounded downstairs.Dominic closed his eyes slowly. “I asked one question.”Rachel’s laughter echoed from the kitchen before she appeared moments later carrying a cup of coffee calmly like the house was not actively collapsing around them.Five years later, sh

Chapter: Chapter 0133--The End(Three Months Later)Soft golden light filled the large bridal room while Rachel stood quietly in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection like she still could not completely believe everything was real.The wedding dress wrapped perfectly around her body, elegant and breathtaking without looking too heavy despite the small curve of her growing stomach hidden carefully beneath the layers of fabric.Her fingers rested lightly against her belly while emotion slowly tightened inside her chest.Elara stood behind her adjusting the final part of the veil carefully before stepping back to admire her work.“There,” Elara said proudly. “Now Dominic will probably forget how to breathe.”Rachel laughed softly under her breath. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m absolutely not.”Rachel shook her head slightly, but the smile on her face refused to disappear.Elara walked closer afterward and stood beside her in front of the mirror. “Look at you.”Rachel’s eyes softened.Three months ago, she thoug

Chapter: Chapter 0132The private hospital room had grown quiet over the last three days, mostly because Dominic was recovering much faster than every doctor expected.The gunshot wound in his leg still hurt whenever he moved too suddenly, but the swelling had reduced greatly and he no longer looked as pale as he did the first night Rachel almost lost him.Morning light slipped softly through the large windows while Dominic sat halfway upright against the hospital bed, one arm resting behind his head as Rachel sat beside him carefully peeling an orange.“You’re staring at me,” Rachel muttered without looking up.Dominic smirked slightly. “You’ve been peeling that orange for ten minutes.”Rachel finally looked at him. “Because you keep distracting me.”“I’m lying here injured and somehow I’m still the problem.”Rachel rolled her eyes before separating one piece of the orange and handing it to him. “You’re always the problem.”Dominic took it from her slowly. “That’s rude.”“You survived getting shot.

Chapter: Chapter 0131The quietness inside the hospital room disappeared the moment the door opened again.Rachel instinctively looked up first, expecting another doctor or one of Dominic’s guards, but the moment her eyes landed on Bryce standing near the entrance beside Evangeline, her entire expression changed immediately.Dominic’s face hardened at the same time. For one sharp second, nobody inside the room spoke.Bryce looked worse than before. Bruises still covered parts of his face from the fight at the cliffside, and one side of his lip remained slightly swollen, but despite all of that, he still stood there calmly beside Evangeline like nothing had happened.Rachel sat upright immediately beside Dominic’s hospital bed. “What is he doing here?”Dominic’s jaw tightened visibly. “Why aren’t you in prison?”Bryce opened his mouth slightly, but Evangeline answered before he could speak. “Because I got him out,” she said clearly.Rachel stared at her in disbelief.Evangeline walked further into the room

Chapter: Chapter 0130Dominic woke slowly to the steady sound of machines beeping beside him.For several seconds, his vision remained blurred while pain spread heavily through his body, especially around his injured leg and ribs. The smell of medicine filled the quiet hospital room while faint morning light slipped through the curtains near the window.He inhaled carefully and immediately regretted it when pain tightened sharply through his chest.A low curse nearly left his mouth before he finally noticed the figure sleeping beside his bed.Rachel.She sat curled awkwardly against the side chair with her head resting near his arm, one hand still loosely holding onto his hospital blanket like she had fallen asleep trying not to let go of him.Dominic stared at her silently.Dark circles rested beneath her eyes, and strands of hair had fallen messily across part of her face. She looked exhausted in a way that made guilt tighten painfully inside him.The memories from the previous night slowly returned all

Chapter: Chapter 0129For one long second after Marissa pressed the knife deeper against Smithfield’s throat, nobody moved.The wind continued roaring across the cliffside while smoke drifted heavily around them, but every person standing there stared at the same scene in complete shock.Even the guards froze.Smithfield’s body swayed slightly where he knelt near the edge of the cliff, his fingers trembling weakly around the blood spilling through his throat.Marissa did not move away from him. Her expression remained cold and completely steady, like someone who had waited years for this exact moment.Rachel stared at her in disbelief. Dominic remained half on the ground several feet away, breathing heavily while blood continued running down his injured leg.Bryce slowly released Dominic’s collar and turned fully toward Marissa.“Marissa…” he muttered.Smithfield coughed violently again. Blood spread down the front of his clothes as his strength visibly started failing.His breathing became rough and uneve

HIS UNCLE’S WIFE: BILLIONAIRE’S REGRET
“Nephew…can you explain why my wife knows you?” The question came from Damien, my new husband.
Brian stared at the ring on my finger, then slowly, his eyes lifted to the man standing next to me. The man whose arms were tightened around my waist.
Everyone in the room was staring at me, and the man standing across from me had just turned white.
My ex-husband, The husband who abandoned me three years ago. The husband who was apparently… Damien’s nephew.
~~~
I thought I had buried that part of my life. The grief. The betrayal.
The little pink coffin that took my daughter away forever and Brian, the man who left me alone in the hospital while our child was dying.
Three years later, I finally learned how to breathe again. In other to repay the kindness of the Stark family, I decided to marry a stranger.
Damien is cold, controlled and impossible to read. A billionaire heir trapped in a one year marriage contract by his families.
I married him and for the first time in years, I felt free… Until one family dinner changed everything. Now my dead marriage isn’t so dead. My ex-husband wants a second chance.
My new husband wants answers.
And Damien has just discovered that the woman he calls wife once belonged to his own blood.
The problem? Damien doesn’t share. And he certainly doesn’t let go…Not of what’s his.

Chapter: Chapter 23Evelyn smiled politely before answering. “Mr. Stark said that from the moment you step into that gala tonight, you are not to leave his side for even a second.”Katie frowned slightly. “Why?”Evelyn hesitated before lowering her voice. “His exact words were…” She looked directly at Katie. “‘Tonight, everyone will be watching my wife. Some will come to congratulate her… and some will come hoping to use her against me. Tell her not to trust anyone who approaches her alone.’”Katie’s fingers unconsciously tightened around the sparkling gown. Damien’s warning from the previous day immediately resurfaced inside her mind.“Many people hate me… and now that our marriage has been made public, they’ll come after you.”Katie lowered her eyes quietly. “I understand.”Evelyn smiled reassuringly. “There’s no reason to be frightened, Mrs. Stark. Mr. Stark’s security team will also be present throughout the evening.”Katie nodded gently. “I’m not frightened.”She wasn’t. What unsettled her was the r

Chapter: Chapter 22The rays of morning sunlight slipped through the half-open curtains, spreading a warm golden glow across the bedroom.Katie stirred beneath the blanket, she remained caught between sleep and consciousness, her breathing slow and steady as fragments of the previous day drifted through her mind.The hospital, Donald's accident, Damien’s father asking for grandchildren.Then…Damien’s voice echoed once more inside her thoughts.“If we’re going to continue living as husband and wife… perhaps we should begin doing the things a husband and wife are expected to do.”Her eyelashes fluttered open. The unfamiliar scent surrounding her made her freeze before she even moved.It wasn’t her pillow nor her floral fragrance she had grown accustomed to in her room. It was something warmer, something distinctly masculine.Her heart skipped. Very slowly, Katie lowered her gaze and found a masculine arm resting securely around her waist.Her eyes widened and her entire body went rigid. She looked upward.

Chapter: Chapter 21Damien held Katie’s gaze without looking away as the question lingered between them.“What exactly are you thinking?” she asked again, her voice calm despite the uncertainty she was trying so hard to conceal.Damien sighed. “My father isn’t asking for something unreasonable. He believes we’ve started a real marriage, so does everyone else.”Katie’s fingers tightened unconsciously around the sleeve of her coat. Damien looked toward the large hospital window overlooking the gardens before speaking again. “If we’re going to continue living as husband and wife…”He paused briefly. “Perhaps we should begin doing the things a husband and wife are expected to do.”Katie understood exactly what he meant and her heartbeat became uneven, She drew a slow breath before forcing herself to remain composed. “Okay...”Damien looked back at her. “You agree?”Katie managed a small smile. “We’re married.” She lowered her eyes briefly. “I knew that eventually we’d have to stop pretending in certain area

Chapter: Chapter 20Donald lay motionless under the pale hospital lights while the cardiac monitor remained the only sound inside the intensive care unit. Damien stood beside the bed with one hand resting lightly against the metal rail, his gaze fixed on his father’s pale face. Gerald had finally managed to compose himself. Although his eyes were still red, he had stopped pacing and now stood beside the window with both hands buried inside his pockets. Neither brother spoke for several minutes. Eventually, Gerald broke the silence. “The police called me while I was driving here.” Damien slowly turned his head. “What did they say?” “They’re still investigating.” Damien frowned. “Were there other vehicles involved?” Gerald nodded. “There was a truck involved.” His jaw tightened. “The driver claims the brakes failed.” Gerald looked toward their unconscious father before speaking quietly. “Dad has always been careful, he never speeds or drives recklessly.” A faint movement caught Damien’s attention.

Chapter: Chapter 19The security officer struggled to catch his breath before speaking. “Sir…” His voice came out strained. “Mr. Donald Stark was involved in a serious accident while returning from work.” Damien’s expression hardened instantly. “What?” “The ambulance took him directly to St. Vincent Medical Center.” The officer swallowed before continuing. “He’s already been taken into surgery.” Shock flickered across Damien’s face. “How bad is it?” “The doctors said…” The guard hesitated, clearly choosing his words. “His left leg suffered extensive damage.” Damien didn’t wait to hear anything else. He turned sharply toward one of the housekeepers. “My keys.” The woman immediately hurried toward the console table near the entrance, grabbed a set of car keys, and rushed back without wasting a second. “Sir.” Damien took them from her before striding toward the front door. Katie immediately followed behind him. James instinctively stepped aside to clear their path. Within moments, they reached the g

Chapter: Chapter 18Katie’s entire body stiffened.“So…” the familiar male voice repeated quietly. “This is where you’ve been hiding?”Her heart lurched violently as she turned around. For one terrifying second, she thought Damien had followed her.Instead, a man in a neatly pressed black suit stepped out from behind a row of towering cypress trees. He appeared to be in his early thirties, with a professional look, an earpiece visible on one ear.Katie stared at him in confusion. “Who are you?”“I apologize for startling you, Madam.” He stopped several feet away, keeping a respectful distance. “Mr. Stark has been looking for you throughout the mansion.”Katie blinked. “You… know me?”A faint smile crossed his face. “I work for Mr. Stark.”She slowly stood. “What is your name?”“James.”Katie nodded absentmindedly before another question occurred to her. “How did you find me?”James hesitated briefly. “I saw you leaving through the side entrance.”Her expression changed. “You followed me?”“I was instruc

HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING
“She came to serve him, never knowing she would ruin him.”
“We are not mates,” I say clearly. “I am a maid, and you are the Alpha, which means, whatever confusion happened earlier needs to end immediately because I will not entertain that kind of intimacy next time.”
Draven remains still.
“And just in case you mistake me for a harlot because of this ridiculous mate nonsense,” I add sharply, “let me make myself very clear Alpha. I am here to clean your room, not to throw myself at you!”
***
Seren lost everything in a single night. Her marriage, her family and the life she once called hers. Cast out, stripped out of her name and status, she runs to the last place anyone would look for her: a rival pack ruled by an Alpha betrothed to marry another.
Invisible, powerless, and safe, she stayed in the pack until the Alpha notices her. Not because of her face nor her past, but because of her scent.
Torn between duty and bond he refuses to acknowledge, Draven is determined to keep his distance, even as his control begins to fracture.

Chapter: Chapter 008: “Tell Me, Who Is She?”~Seren~ The moment I look properly at the woman standing at the end of the corridor, something cold drops into my stomach so suddenly that I forget about my hurt ankle entirely. No… No…. My fingers tighten unconsciously around the fabric of my oversized uniform. I know her! I remember her standing beside my mother years ago, laughing. I remember her drinking tea in our garden while speaking with my mother in a voice too quiet to hear. Tabitha. Draven’s mother. She was my mother's former best friend before everything changed. After Draven’s father died, they accused our pack of murder and the both packs finally became enemies. My heartbeat accelerates. Shit!… she can’t recognize me now, right? My hair is black now and my wolf is sealed. My scent… my thoughts stop. My scent… I swallowed hard, Seraphina didn’t hide my scent, no wonder Draven noticed me so quickly and found out I was his mate. I need to go back to Seraphina… Her eyes move to Draven, then to Marcel, then slowly

Chapter: Chapter 007: No One Touches HerThe moment Marcel finishes speaking, the entire hall falls into a silence so heavy that I can practically feel dozens of eyes crashing into me from every direction, and for one horrifying second I genuinely wonder if I somehow misheard him, because there is absolutely no way the Alpha of this pack just announced that I would be moving into his private quarters like some kind of treasured possession in front of every maid here.I stare at Marcel then my eyes move to Draven. Neither of them look like they are joking and my disbelief quickly turns into outrage.“I’m sorry,” I say slowly, my voice cutting through the silence with dangerous calm, “did you just say I’m moving into his quarters?”Marcel opens his mouth to speak but I immediately raise my hand.“No,” I snapped before he could speak. “Actually, don’t answer that because I heard you perfectly fine.” The tension inside the hall increases instantly.Several maids lower their heads further like they are trying to avoid being assoc

Chapter: Chapter 006: Into His Quarters~Seren~Pain shoots through my leg the moment I push myself off the floor, and for one humiliating second, I regret every stubborn decision that leads me into this room in the first place, because falling in front of the Alpha and his Beta is clearly not the kind of memory I want attached to my existence.I grit my teeth and straighten. The overly long maid uniform hangs around like an enemy sworn to destroy whatever dignity I have left. I swear, if I survive long enough in this pack, I’ll burn every piece of fabric Gwen forces me to wear.I take one step and the sharp sting in my ankle immediately betrays me, my limp is obvious.“Careful,” Beta says, moving slightly forward like he intends to help me. I instantly glared at him, “Forget it.”His brows raise in amusement. “I was only trying to–““I know, and I’m trying to leave,” I cut in sharply. That earns a quiet sound from him that suspiciously resembles a suppressed laughter. I ignore him completely. Instead, I turned towards

Chapter: Chapter 005: Mate in a maid uniform(Draven)I leaned back in the chair, placing my palm on my forehead. Nothing about the situation felt stable enough to trust. Marcel stood by me with his arms folded, watching me with an expression when I wanted to do something he already disapproved of.“The bond is active,” he said again. “There’s no denying it anymore, Draven.”I scoffed under my breath, staring at the ceiling instead of him. “A maid cannot be my mate.” I could not understand whatever madness the universe was trying to sell to me because, how can the moon goddess give a maid as my mate???Marcel exhaled slowly, as if I had asked him for the hundredth time. “And yet your wolf disagrees.”I said nothing because he was right. The moment she walked into my room, my wolf was not calm anymore. He kept screaming. Mate. Mate. Mate.And it echoed inside my skull like something trying to break free from a cage and every time I tried to suppress it, it grew sharper and more violent.The door swung open and both of us turned a

Chapter: Chapter 004: Mate? Impossible.~Seren~ I didn’t understand what was happening to my body. That was the first honest thought that cut through the storm inside my head as Alpha Draven’s hand stayed wrapped around my wrist. He was holding me in place against the wall of his private chamber. His eyes did not leave mine…not even for a second. “Mate,” he said again, lower this time and I felt the pull. Not physical pain, not even attraction in the way I understood it. I felt the urge to kiss him right there, I want to claim him. My breath caught as warmth spread through my skin in waves I couldn’t explain and I hated the fact that my body reacted before my mind could catch up. I hated that my thoughts were fractured in two opposing directions. One screaming at me to stay because something in me recognized him, while the other clawed violently at my awareness reminding me of who I was in this pack and what men like him represented in my bloodline history. Draven…Enemy. My pulse quickened as his free hands

Chapter: Chapter 003: The pull~Seren~“Keep your head down, speak only when spoken to, and do not—under any circumstances draw attention to yourself.”Gwen’s voice was sharp and completely uninterested in whether I lived or died in this pack.I adjusted the sleeve of the maid uniform that swallowed my arms like it had been stitched for someone twice my size. “If I wanted attention, I wouldn’t be wearing this.” I muttered.Her eyes flicked to me briefly, “Good, then try not to die in his room.”I paused, “Is that supposed to be comforting?”“It’s supposed to be realistic,” she replied, already turning away. “You’ve been assigned to Alpha Draven’s chamber, clean thoroughly, leave quickly and do not provoke him.”His name alone made my chest tighten. Even before exile, before everything collapsed, I knew that name so well.My father’s voice echoed in my head, “That man is not to be trusted. He is our nemesis! An enemy to our pack.”And now…I was being sent to his room, dressed in a servant outfit. Seriously, life has
