Chapter: Chapter 15
As soon as Athena was certain she had escaped Diana’s watchful glare, a soft sigh escaped her lips. She paused on the hallway, her annoyance reignited by the guards trailing closely behind her.For a second, she just wanted her former freedom, but the men wouldn’t budge. Just as she turned to make a warning, Travon appeared from the corner, his expression neutral. “That was a powerful speech, Athena.” He said, his voice soft and calm.“Thank you.” She nodded, unsure of what to do, his scent kept messing with her head. There was a sudden shift in her tone as she turned to him and said, “Please tell your men to stand down, I’ve managed on my own for the past five years, and I can very much survive on my own right now.” With that, she stormed away.Travon quickly gestured for his men to stand down as he watched her in awe as she left.She return to her room, pacing back and forth as her mind thought of the next line of action. “What next?” She thought, she had to admit that Lucy was right

Chapter: Chapter 14
The council door swung open, and Aria and her father stepped inside, dismayed to find they were much too late. The council members were already bowing to Travon and Athena, chanting; "The goddess save the Alpha, The goddess save the Luna." At the same time, Kaius noticed the hurt in Aria's eyes, his inner wolf howled in pain, but he couldn't do anything than look away. "I object!" William's voice suddenly rang throughout the room, causing a collective gasp as all eyes turned to him. "This is against our customs." He continued, his eyes set on Travon, as he walked through the rows of elders. Philppa's subtly gave him a look, begging him to stop, but William looked away, damning the consequences of his action. "Athena has not completed the thirty days ritual and yet, here she is, being reinstated as the Luna." He paused, turning to the elders, "Elders, how can you all blindly agree to this, have we quickly forgotten our customs? How can we simply accept her return like this

Athena stared at Travon’s face, her expression unreadable. Her mind reeled from the fact that she could have been dead if not for his intervention. Slowly, she stepped away from him, despite his heroic save, she still considered him an enemy--he had hurt her badly, and one daring act didn’t erase the pain. Sensing her hesistance, Travon maintained his distance, his face etched with pain. With a small sigh, he told her, “My men will escort you back to your quarters, and keep watch till dawn, while I get to the bottom of this.” Athena slowly nodded, eager to escape his presence. Quietly, she bowed her head to show her gratitude, her eyes avoiding his. Then swiftly, she turned on her heels and walked away with the guards hovering closely around her. Travon’s eyes lingered on her retreating figure, his expression filled with a mixture of regret and sadness. His lips parted as if to call her, but he remained silent, respecting her boundaries. Back at her quarters in her bedroom, Athe

"In two days, Athena will finally attain visitation rights," the pack doctor began, his tone cold and measured. "Our faction is growing restless. We can't just sit idly by, cowering like frightened dogs. We must do something." He paused, his gaze locked on William and Aria. William leaned back in his chair with a calculating glint in his eye. "You've made some valid points, Doc," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. Aria nodded in agreement, her expression smug. "But Aria and I have already discussed this," William continued. "We'll stick with our original plan." The doctor's eyebrows shot up, curiosity etched on his face. "You mean, poisoning?" he asked, his voice laced with skepticism. William smirked. "Yes," he replied coolly, as if he were discussing the weather. The doctor scoffed, his expression surprised. "Have you forgotten she's currently under tight security?" he asked, his voice rising. William's smile was icy. "That's exactly why it's the perfect plan,"

Travon's room was thick with tension as Kaius paced, his eyes narrowed in concern. "What exactly were you thinking?" he asked, his voice laced with frustration. Travon sighed, rubbing his temples. "I wasn't thinking, Kaius. I just couldn't resist the mate bond. You wouldn't understand since you haven't experienced it." His eyes dropped. Kaius scoffed, "Trust me, brother, I understand much more deeply than you can imagine." A hint of pain flickered in his eyes, but he quickly masked it. Travon's gaze snapped up, curiosity sparking. "What do you mean?" Kaius waved his hand dismissively. "Later. For now, what's your plan?" Travon's jaw clenched. "We wait. The elders say Athena earns visitation rights after seven days. In the meantime, put a trusted maid to watch and report back to you. I don't trust those stuck-up elders." His lip curled in disgust. "And Aria? What about her?" Kaius asked, his tone concerned. Travon shifted uncomfortably. "I've never seen Aria as anythi

Chapter: Chapter 10
Travon sat in the meeting room, surrounded with his mother and the elders, making deliberations on how to handle Athena’s return. However, his mind wandered, clouded with thoughts of Athena. It had been two days since she interrupted his marriage ceremony, but he couldn’t shake off her scent, which had seemingly imprinted itself on his mind. He was growing restless, wanting to see her, wanting answers to his numerous questions, wanting to know how and why. Without another thought, he slammed his hands against the table, sending a wave of silence across the room. He stood up, his eyes fixed on the door, and stormed out. The Sacred Quarters, situated on the estate grounds, served as both a confinement zone and a purification quarters. Travon took hasty strides, his men hurrying behind him, until they reached the quarters, heavily guarded by Epsilons and female elders who catered to Athena's needs around the clock. The elders quickly reinforced their guard by standing in front of the

Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession

Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession

My chest pounded excitedly as I pulled him closer, ignoring the “this is your boss” warning in my head. I tugged at his tie, my fingers itching to undo his buttons. His hands shifted the lacy underwear, his fingers sliding to reach my entrance. When they slid in, I let out a loud gasp. “Shh, Eve. You're not allowed to scream.” Eve Keller has always lived quietly, overlooked, and inexperienced. Her only escape is the voice she obeys in secret: Dom Daddy, the mysterious man whose erotic audios pull desires from her she’s never dared to explore. But on her first day at Kingston Corp, she hears that same commanding voice… from her new boss, Dominic Kingston. Cold. Ruthless. Every word, every glance, pulls her closer to a darkness she’s only dreamed of. When she realizes the voice she secretly worships belongs to him, Eve’s world tips. Dominic sees everything, her secret, her cravings, her limits, and he begins a game of control that is as thrilling as it is dangerous. Stolen touches, whispered commands, forbidden tension. Eve is drawn to him, terrified by him, and utterly captivated. Every time she resists, questions, or defies him, Dominic’s obsession only grows. Add in Alex, her kind and protective colleague, a jealous rival, and a family determined to control everything, and Eve finds herself caught between safety and temptation, desire and power. One wrong choice could unravel her, and yet…every defiance pulls her deeper into a world of obsession, submission, and passion she never imagined.

Chapter: 082: Thirty Years Too Late
-Rachael- EARLIER TODAY… “I didn't know what to expect from dinner. But I'm glad I came. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.” I said to Evelyn the moment we stepped out of the restaurant into the warmth of the evening air. A smile tugged her lips. The kind of smile that had lots of things to say, but didn't. Then she nodded. “Me too.” She dipped her hand into her bag, and pulled out something. A box. It wasn't much to look at. Brown cardboard, a little worn at the corners. The lid was secured with a faded blue ribbon that looked like she'd tied and untied it way too many times. Yet she held it preciously. I blinked when she held it out to me. “For me?” A smile spread across her face. I didn't have a word for her face yet, but I liked her face. In a way, it reminded me of warmth and maybe, hope. “For you.” I took it from her. “What's inside?” “If I tell you, it won't be a surprise.” I chuckled faintly. The smile stayed on her face. The awkwardness from our fir

Chapter: 081: Code Blue
-Eve-I barely made it to the restroom.The gala had dissolved into chaos after Jonathan's arrest. Investors were shouting. Reporters were swarming the exits. Security was moving through the crowd.For a few minutes, I had forgotten about the pressure building in my bladder. The moment the commotion started, it was the first chance I'd had to slip away. You know that feeling where the pressure heightens the closer you get to the bathroom, that was the one.I bolted to the bathroom, and relieved myself. As a staff, one of the rules was to stay still throughout the event.But after seeing Alex a couple of hours ago, I got upset. And drank too much water. Which didn't exactly make sense.When I stepped back into the hallway, I froze.I heard familiar voices. I would've kept walking if I hadn't heard Alex's name.My feet stopped before my brain could catch up.The voices were coming from around the corner.The voices belonged to Alex and Vanessa. I should have kept walking though, I didn

Chapter: 080: The Gala II
-Dominic-At exactly seven-thirty, the event commenced. Hopefully, it was everything Mom had envisioned.For the first time in the hotel's history, the gala wasn't attended solely by investors and partners. Staff members who had served the hotel since its opening had also been invited. It was a celebration of legacy in every sense of the word.Yet despite the music, the applause, and the carefully curated atmosphere, my mind remained fixed on one thing.Caxdon Hospitality.And what I'd discovered.When Mom was finally called to the stage, a sense of foreboding settled in my chest.As she stepped into the spotlight, the room erupted in applause.At the executive table, Father and Uncle Jon sat surrounded by key investors, their faces etched with confidence.Like Uncle Jon had said earlier, tonight was about certainty, about controlling the story.She thanked the guests for attending. She spoke of growth, sacrifice, and the people who had built the hospitality division into what it was

Chapter: 079: The Gala I
-Dominic-Saturday had finally arrived, and in a few hours, the legacy event gala would officially commence. It had been a long week of activities, and unexpected turns.Speaking of unexpected turns, my mind went to Eve. It was the last place I thought I’d see her. Then again, I wasn’t quite surprised.I saw her argue with Alex that day, and now except I was imagining things, I was hearing their voices again.Somewhere along the empty stretch of hallways at the hotel.I paused in my tracks. Listened.They were talking about that day. “You’ve been ignoring my calls, it's been four days.” Alex said, “I wasn’t thinking, I should have considered how you felt before I made that decision. Please, let me make it up to you. Please.”Silence.Then a small sigh. “You’re a guest, I’m a staff. Let’s talk after the gala.”Then she started walking in my direction, and I resumed walking. When she reached in front of me, she paused, and turned.Red crawled up her neck to her cheeks, and without a w

Chapter: 078: Till My Last Breath
-Evelyn-“Mom, who were you with earlier on the phone?” Eve asked, raising her hand to hail a cab.“Um, it's a caller from a job I applied to. Apparently I'm too old for the role.” I lied smoothly.“You're going to find something. Eventually.” She assured me.I nodded, feeling grateful. “And thank you for today, Eve.” I reached for her hand gently squeezing it.“You're welcome.”“You go ahead. I have to meet up with someone in an hour.”A smirk curled on her lips. “It's not Robert, is it?”“Robert? How did—”“I saw you secretly texting him at the table.” She grinned.Heat rushed to my cheeks like a teenager caught with a crush. It was ridiculous to be this embarrassed at forty-eight.“Are you two already dating?”“We're not dating. Yet.” I tried—and failed—to sound casual. “And it's not Robby—”“Ooh. Robby, huh?” Her grin widened.“Eve.”“You two should just go out already.”“We are. We're having dinner at his place on Sunday.”Her eyes lit up. “That's a good thing.”“Yeah. I think so

Chapter: 077: Reunion II
-Evelyn-“I'm sorry.” The words hung heavy in the air. My heart slammed hard against my chest as I waited expectantly for a response.Instead, she simply nodded. Was that acceptance? My mind wondered.Then finally spoke. It was slow, measured and hesitant.“Did you… want me?” I finally got the courage to meet her gaze. Her eyes were just like mine. I slowly nodded. “More than anything—”“Then why?” There was sharpness in her tone.A lump formed in my throat, but I swallowed and steadied myself. “I was eighteen, I didn't have a real support system. Every decision I made felt wrong.”“Eve told me you didn't know everything about the adoption.” She quietly admitted.“Yes.” I said. “My in-laws made me look unstable, and had my ex-husband sign the adoption papers. I came home one day,” I paused, forcing back tears. “And you were gone.”She nodded again. It seemed to be a coping habit. I continued. “I didn't give up, you were taken away from me. And I should have fought harder for you.
