This was Kira’s message when she was asked on a podcast. “What would she say to a woman sitting in an unhappy marriage or difficult situation and was too afraid to leave.” You can do it, you are stronger than what is holding you, you will make mistakes because everyone does but mistakes are the middle of the story not the end, give yourself time to heal properly and

Chapter: Built It Herself Kira’s POV Alyssa’s text said come see and nothing else mattered as Kira drove to Brooklyn in the new Rolls Royce with the radio off and the early morning city moving past the windows and her finger still feeling lighter than it had in three weeks. She parked outside and sat for a moment. The restaurant was dark inside, a closed sign on the door, the street still doing its early morning thing, a delivery van two doors down, a woman walking fast with coffee, the ordinary unremarkable beginning of a Tuesday. She got out and let herself in through the kitchen entrance. The kitchen smelled the way it always smelled before service, clean and ready, the particular smell of a space that knew what it was for and was waiting to do it, and she stood in the middle of it with her bag on her shoulder and her keys in her hand and looked at the counters and the pass and the equipment and the strip lighting and thought about the first time she stood in this space when it was still just a mere b

Chapter: It’s About Me Kira’s POV Lily was still asleep on the couch where Kira had carried her at some point between four and six, covered with the throw blanket from the armchair, rabbit tucked in beside her. Kira sat at the kitchen table with both hands around a cup of tea she’d made and not drunk and watched the early light come in through the window and thought about what she already knew she was going to do. She picked up her phone and called Elijah. He picked up on the second ring. “You’re awake,” she said. “Have been for a while.” His voice was quiet and steady and completely unsurprised and that steadiness was one of the things she loved most about him and one of the things that told her she was right about what she was about to say. “Where are you.” “Kitchen. Lily fell asleep down here.” “I know, I heard her come down.” A pause. “Do you want me to come down.” “Pl

Chapter: The Idea Of HimKira’s POVShe woke at four again.She knew before she opened her eyes because her body had started doing it with the reliability of an alarm, the same time every night for a week, pulling her up out of sleep into the dark ceiling of her bedroom and the quiet of the house. Elijah was asleep beside her tonight. He decided to spend the night.She turned her hand over slowly and looked at the ring in the dark, the emerald catching nothing because there was nothing to catch, just the shape of it on her finger, and she lay there and did what she’d been doing for a week, running her thumb across the band and waiting for the feeling to arrive completely.It didn’t arrive completely.It arrived mostly. It arrived enough that during the day she didn’t notice the gap, during service and school pickup and the autumn menu and the knife class on Thursdays and dinner with Marcus on Fridays, during all of it she was fine, genuinely fine, and the ring sat on her finger and felt like hers and Elijah w

Chapter: Dad You Have A FaceAdrian’s POVHis phone rang early morning on a Sunday morning.It was Marcus calling, again.He took his phone and picked up the call.“I’m sorry,” Marcus said. “She said yes.”Adrian stood at the kitchen counter with the coffee he’d just poured and said nothing for a moment.“I wanted you to hear it from me,” Marcus said. “Not from anyone else.”“I appreciate that man.”“Are you alright.”“I’m fine.” He set the coffee down. “When did it happen.”“Ohh, last night. Elijah took her to Solace after hours, cooked for her himself, and all that stuffs.” A pause. “She called me this morning. She sounded really happy.”“Good.”“Adrian.”“Marcus, I’m fine.” He pulled out a chair and sat at the kitchen table. “I mean it.”Marcus was quiet for a moment. Over the past months they’d found their way to something that worked, the two of them, not despite Kira but around her, two men who had both loved her differently and had enough respect for each other to acknowledge it without making it strange.

Chapter: Did I Make A MistakeKira’s POVElijah’s restaurant, solace was dark when the car pulled up outside.Not closed dark, just after hours dark, the kind where the lights were off in the front of house but the kitchen strip was still on and throwing a warm line under the door, and Kira sat in the Cullinan for a moment and looked at it.She knew what this was.She’d known from the moment Elijah texted on Tuesday and said are you free Saturday evening, just the two of us, and she’d said yes because she always said yes to him and because she’d spent two days telling herself she didn’t know what it meant and had known the entire time.She got out of the car.Elijah opened the door before she reached it, which meant he’d been watching for her, and he stepped back and she walked in and stopped.One table in the middle of the empty restaurant, dressed properly, white cloth and candles and two settings and a single small arrangement of something green and simple in the center that didn’t try too hard.

Rebirth Of The Wolfless Heiress
I gave Killian the mate I thought to be everything. My talent, my time, my loyalty and my pack. I worked myself to nothing in that lab, handed him a powerful pack on a silver platter and loved him with everything I had. He repaid me by rejecting me on my deathbed, killed my uncle, stole the resources from my pack and connived with my best friend in poisoning my food.
I died alone, betrayed by everyone I ever trusted.
But the Moon Goddess was not done with me.
I woke up two years earlier, healthy, clear headed and carrying every memory of what they did. Killian still needs my help in the lab. Tiffany, my best friend, still thinks I am her fool. And the pack that was stolen from me is still waiting for its rightful heir to come home.
They had their turn.
Now it is mine.

Chapter: Chapter 38Scarlett’s POV “What the fuck, it’s been such a weird day, honestly.” I said it to the bathroom ceiling, to nobody, to the general situation of my entire life, I ran my hands through my hair as the water ran hot into the tub in front of me. This was so weird. This was genuinely, objectively, completely weird and I needed a moment to think. I stood there and just looked around. The bathroom alone was bigger than the entire lab I had spent three years of my life in. Everything was marble and glass and soft gold fittings and the kind of lighting that made you feel like you were being filmed for something. A towel rack that was clearly heated. A mirror that ran the entire length of one wall without a single seam. A small shelf beside the door before you even stepped fully inside, holding two chilled bottles of champagne sitting in a little ice bucket like this was a five star hotel and not a man’s private bathroom. I looked at the champagne for a long moment, then looked at the bath

Chapter: Chapter 37Dominic’s POV I pulled back from her slowly. My shirt was slightly wrinkled where her hands had been. I didn’t look down at myself, I already knew. I stood there for a second, cleared my throat and fixed my collar. Then my shirt. I noticed another situation a little further south, lower down in my trousers. I dipped my hand inside my pants and adjusted the mini me down there and took a long quiet breath. “Get it together. You are a king and not a teenager and this is not the time.” I said to myself. I opened the door. The girl standing in the corridor was one of my house staff, assigned to the main wing. Young, maybe nineteen or twenty at most. She was clutching a small notepad flat against her chest with both hands and the moment my eyes landed on her she dropped into a bow so fast and so deep I almost felt something close to pity. “King Dominic,” she said, her voice coming out slightly strangled. “Speak.” She lifted her head but didn’t fully straighten. Her eyes found a s

Chapter: Chapter 36Dominic’s POV I do not plan to take her back to mine. My hands just turn the wheel at the junction and my brain catches up a few seconds later and by then we are already heading in that direction and I decide not to fight it. She needs somewhere close and quiet and safe and every other option requires more time than she has right now. That is what I told myself and kept repeating it while I stuck to the plan. She is in the passenger seat with her head tipped back and her eyes shut and I can hear her breathing from here, shallow and uneven, her chest rising too fast. The drug is settling in properly now that the adrenaline has worn off. Every few seconds her thighs press together and her jaw tightens and I look back at the road. I pull into my private entrance and cut the engine. She opens her eyes and looks around. “Where are we?” “My place.” “I did not agree to—” “I know.” I am already out of the car and around to her side before she finishes the sentence. I open the door and

Chapter: Chapter 35Scarlett’s POV My skin was on fire, I mean not physically set on fire but literally. A heat that started low in my stomach and spread outward my thighs in waves, sitting under my skin and building every time I tried to ignore it. I pressed my thighs together as I walked and felt the vibration underneath and had to focus very hard on putting one foot in front of the other and not letting my face show any of what was happening to my body. Mira was beside me, her strapped leg slowing her down, her eyes sliding to me every few seconds with surprise written all over her face. I did not have the energy to address it right now. “The way I feel, it feels like I was giving an aphrodisiac for induced arousal.” I said quietly. “I know that’s what this is.” “I know something is going on but you need to tell me how bad it is,” Mira said, just as quietly. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” “Scarlett.” “I am managing,” I said. “Keep walking.” The car park felt three times further than it had on the

Chapter: Chapter 34Dominic’s POV“So you have finally found your mate!” My mother was practically glowing from across the sitting room, her hands clasped together, leaning forward in her chair like she had been waiting to say this for years. “Who is she? Tell me everything. Is she beautiful? Of course she is beautiful, the Moon Goddess would not give my son anything less.”“Mum.”“Is it Amelia? Please tell me it is Amelia, that girl has been in love with you since you were twelve years old and she is absolutely....”“It is not Amelia,” I said.My mother’s face fell slightly. Then rearranged itself into something more determined. “Ohh, then who? You have to introduce her to us Dominic, we are your parents, we deserve to know the woman our son has chosen to marry.”“Here we go again,” I said under my breath.“Sorry, what was that?”“Nothing.” I looked at my father. “Dad.

Chapter: Chapter 33Scarlett’s POV The person who walked through the door was James, the Alpha of the pack. “Ohh finally, you’re here.” I said and let out a heavy sigh. He looked at me against the wall, at Ryan standing two feet away with his chest still heaving, at Mira on the floor cradling her leg, I could see the moment his face and brain was trying to calculate what was happening, but after some seconds and he still wasn’t getting a reasonable answer, he finally asked. “What is going on here?” Ryan straightened up immediately. “Nothing Alpha James,” he said smoothly. “She lost her balance and I was helping her up. The other one fell trying to….” “What the hell, I looked at him, that is a lie.” My voice came out very sharp. “This man has sexually assaulted me. He had both hands on me, he pinned my wrists against the wall and he tried to kiss me by force. Mira tried to defend me and he threw her into the table and dislocated her leg.” Ryan turned to James with his palms open. “Alpha

Melindana was a powerful female Lycan, hunted for her blood and killed without mercy before she could escape. But death wasn’t the end. When she opens her eyes again, she’s no longer herself. She’s in the body of Arabella… the Luna of the Cinderclaw Pack, trapped in a weak body and a worse life.

Aurelius, the lycan king is a dangerous, powerful… and slowly dying from a condition only one person can cure. Melidana. From the moment they meet, the bond between them is undeniable, yet something about her feels different. Wrong… but irresistible.

No pleasant smile. I set my bag down on the side table and looked at her.“Close the door,” she said.I was about to close it anyway, so I just did.“I’m going to say this once,” she started, her voice clipped and tight, “and I need you to actually listen because I am tired of dancing around it.” She dropped her arms. “I have been in this house longer than you think. I was working on Luca long before that anniversary night, long before you even knew my name, and everything that has happened since I walked through that door has gone exactly the way I planned it.”I looked at her in silence.“You think you’re winning something,” she continued, her voice rising slightly at the edges. “Walking around this house like you o

Ready to hear another horror story.He got out of the car and walked to the front door. The house was small but well-maintained. Flowers in the window boxes. Fresh paint.He knocked.The door opened immediately. A young woman stood there. Petite. Dark hair pulled back. Tired eyes that had seen too much.“Sarah?” Jake asked.“Yes. Come in.”Jake stepped inside. The house was neat. Clean. But sparse. Like someone living carefully within a tight budget.Sarah led him to the living room.

His footsteps echoed against the tile.Dr. Reid’s door was unlocked. Damien pushed it open.The office was a mess. Papers scattered across the desk. Empty whiskey bottles in the trash. The smell of alcohol hung heavy in the air.Dr. Reid sat behind his desk in the dark. He didn’t look up when Damien entered.“I’ve been expecting you,” Dr. Reid said. His voice was slurred. Drunk.“Have you?” Damien asked. He closed the door behind him and locked it.“Viktor called me today,” Dr. Reid said. He finally looked up. His eyes were bloodshot. His face was pale and drawn. “Told me you’ve been asking questions. Told me you’re gathering evidence. Told me to be ready.”“Ready for what?” Damien

The kind of place people lived when they had no other choice.He parked down the street and watched for twenty minutes. Looking for surveillance. For anyone who seemed out of place. For any sign that Viktor’s people were watching.Nothing. The street was quiet. Just early morning joggers and people walking dogs.Jake got out and walked to the building. Used the key Mia had given him last night. Climbed the stairs to the third floor.Her apartment door was exactly as she’d described. Third door on the left. Number 3B.He unlocked it and stepped inside.The apartment was small. One bedroom. Tiny kitchen. Living room that doubled as someone’s sleeping space. Probably Kevin’s before he got sick.Everything was covered in a thin layer of dust. Nobody had been here in months.Jake moved quickly.
