Chapter: Chapter 111WRITER'S POV"Kill her, Malone!" Ken shouted, his voice loud and cruel.Malone froze."No!" Hannah cried, shaking her head quickly as Malone lifted the gun toward Vera."He's trying to ruin you, Malone. Don't listen to him," she begged."You can't shoot our mother. You can't—""Don't you dare tell me what to do! Our mother? Please! Go wash your mouth!" Malone snapped, his voice shaking with anger.His shout shook the room, and Tim swallowed his words, fear written all over his face. Vera stood still, her heart racing. She knew Ken never played fair. They were trapped."Stop this madness, Prince Kenneth," she said firmly, her voice filled with pain. "Are you really going to turn your own son into a monster like you? Will you be proud of yourself after this?""Don't try your cheap tricks on me! Have you forgotten who I am? You think locking me up was that easy? I have people! I can always buy more! Justice doesn't exist! The whole system is a joke!" Ken yelled, stepping down the stairs

Chapter: Chapter 110VERA'S POVIt started raining hard that evening while we drove home. Jack and Nathan had gone to search for Malone, but they couldn’t find him, and it got too dark to keep waiting around in the graveyard. A police report had already been made in case things got worse. I didn’t know how to describe what I was feeling. The pain inside me was loud, so loud that even Hannah’s voice beside me sounded like extra noise in my already noisy head.From the moment she told us Malone was missing, I felt like throwing up. A sharp pain started in my lower stomach, and I curled up in the backseat, dropping my face to my knees. Hannah sat next to me, trying to comfort me without waking her sleeping baby. Timothy sat quietly on Jessica’s lap in the front seat, both of them watching me through the mirror with sad eyes.When Max pulled the car into the driveway, I had to blink many times just to see clearly and carefully get down. Hannah was now talking to someone on the phone, telling him I would be ok

Chapter: Chapter 109VERA'S POVIt was a cool evening when she was laid to rest. I stood quietly beside her grave, not really sure how I felt. She hadn’t been the best mother, but she still said "bless you" when someone sneezed. That had to mean something. Still, I never understood how she could watch me suffer at the hands of her boyfriend. It made me doubt if I was ever truly her daughter. But even with all that, I never wished death on her. Not this soon.We were slowly becoming friends, trying to fix things between us. She really cared about Jessica, even though she stayed distant. She hadn’t been sick, and she wasn't the type to take her own life. Yet, she died so quietly. According to Jessica, she lay down beside her one night and didn't wake up the next morning.Thanks to Jack, we had gotten the chance to make peace. But I thought she'd do more. Maybe say sorry. Maybe try to be a better mother. I thought she would at least try to be present, to make up for all the time lost. Instead, she chose eter

Chapter: Chapter 108WRITER'S POV"Stop right there, Malone! Don’t walk away from me when I’m still talking to you!" Vera’s voice rose, sharp and filled with anger. Her eyes were blazing as she stared at her son’s back.They had rushed to the police station after Jack told Vera and Maureen about what had happened to Malone. Seeing how panicked Vera was, Maureen had offered to come along for support. Jack had politely asked her to stay back so they wouldn't have to explain she was Monica's twin, not a ghost. She understood and wished them luck.They reached the station just in time, before Malone was sent to a cell. Jack took charge, speaking to the Police Chief and doing the paperwork with Harry, the young officer who had helped with Ken’s case and Vera's stalker. Eventually, they were allowed to take Malone home.On the drive back, Vera tried talking to Malone, but he said nothing. As soon as they got home and Jack pulled up, Malone jumped out and headed inside, ignoring his mother.Boiling with frustrat

Chapter: Chapter 107JACK’S POVI felt Vera shiver beside me, and when I turned to check her face, it was clear, she looked scared and confused. Slowly, I looked back at Maureen, who was now standing and blowing cigarette smoke into the air.“What are you talking about? I’ve always known Monica. I never even heard of you. I used to visit her dorm, and her roommate was a guy. A gay guy, to be exact,” I said, confused, my forehead wrinkled as I tried to remember everything clearly.“We met at our school parking lot,” Maureen started calmly. “You tried to park your white pickup truck and hit my black BMW. You kept apologizing and promised to fix it. But I was having a terrible day, so instead, I slashed your tires.”She turned around now, facing us while her back touched the window glass. A soft smile pulled at her lips.“And I told you, ‘Now we’re even, so no hard feelings.’ Then we both laughed like crazy. We had our cars towed to a nearby repair shop, and while waiting, we shared pizza and ice cream. That

Chapter: Chapter 106VERA'S POVJack held my hand as he led me into the clubhouse. I’d heard about this place, people talked about it a lot around Downtown. It was popular with the locals, especially the rich and wild ones.But as soon as we walked in, my stomach twisted.A masked woman came right up to Jack and said his name like she knew him well. She even had the nerve to pull off her mask and show her pretty face. I hated how jealous I felt. It was like someone scraping sharp nails across my chest.When I first got to this town, people warned me about the clubs, the sex workers, and the high-end hotels, but nobody said these women were this bold. Or maybe I was just reading too much into it. Maybe I was just mad because she dared to act like she belonged in Jack’s world, like I wasn't standing right beside him."Jackson Taylor," she said, smiling like she was proud to know him. "I didn’t expect to see you here again."Jack didn’t smile back. "I’m here strictly for business. Excuse me."He gently brush

The only person who always tells her the truth even if it's going to cost their relationship. That one friend who has remained faithful and loyal to her since they were kids.Others had said she was like that because of the money and the fact that Sophia seemed like a canopy of protection to her, but Sophia knows that Molly wouldn't always get on her nerves by telling her what to do and what not to do even when she knows how much she hates to hear it if that was her reason.She knows that Molly values their friendship more than anything else, and she doesn't ever get offended no matter how she treats her, but hates her being rude to others much more than to her.Molly is the only person who her parents had approved of their friendship because her mother knows she's a good influence on her and she's as bright as her in terms of study and smartness.She never forgot this friend even when she was

When the face of Flying dragon registered in his eyes, he sat up immediately and looked curiously at him."Thank goodness you are awake! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my promise to you.

Anyway, you have done well, this is the only place in the whole world where I am safe now." Mr. Smith shook his head."Well, she was, but I think she got a call from someone and it seems Justin is in the hands of whoever the person was, so she left after telling me what to do.

100 Days, The Alphas' Mate
“I wholeheartedly accept to be your mate for 100 days.”
Those words were supposed to save Cedar Blake.
Instead, they dragged her into a nightmare far more dangerous than death.
After her parents were executed for treason, Cedar lost everything, her family, her status, and her freedom. Treated as nothing more than a servant in her own pack, she lives only for one purpose: to uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths and fulfill the promise she made to her dying brother.
But fate has never been kind to her.
She can’t shift.
She’s hated by the twin Alphas of her pack.
And hidden inside her is a power powerful enough to destroy entire kingdoms.
When the ruthless Alpha Dominus Maruto offers her freedom in exchange for becoming his mate for just 100 days, Cedar accepts without hesitation.
What she doesn’t know, is that Dominus has been watching her for years.
Cold, manipulative, and dangerously ambitious, Dominus wants Cedar for one reason only, her hidden abilities. With his terrifying power to read minds, he plans to control her, use her, and claim the power sleeping inside her to bend the world to his will.
But Cedar’s life becomes even more complicated when Deklan Mario returns.
Framed for murder by his own uncle, Dominus, Deklan burns with revenge and hatred. He doesn’t believe in love, mate bonds, or mercy. Yet the closer he gets to Cedar, the harder it becomes to decide whether to protect her… or destroy her to ruin Dominus completely.
And then there are the Augustus twins.
Adonai and Adonis, two beautiful, cruel Alpha brothers who once made Cedar’s life a living hell because of her father’s past sins. Possessive, deadly, and obsessed, they believe Cedar belongs to them and no one else...

Chapter: 35| The RevelationCEDAR BLAKE “I am the prophecy!” I howled as I started whispering incantations that sounded strange to my ears.Thunder clapped through the darkening sky and the heavens opened up as it started raining, as if telling all wolves to find shelter and stop fighting against each other. As if washing away the stench of the past, the past they sneaked into my head and made me believe, and left me bare and new like a newborn.“Yes… you're the prophecy.” I lifted my head slowly to look at the gleaming eyes of the luna. “Why did you show me this? Why now?” I asked, taking her outstretched hand and letting her pull me up.The rain plastered my clothes to my body, making my skin cold even though I felt warm inside. Ever since the day my father was executed, I have never felt whole, the fire had lived in me. I had watched as they chopped off his head and hung it on a spike above Crystal Moon's gates, a warning to everyone who'd dare rebel against the throne.Since then, the luna has never looked

Chapter: 34| TidesCEDAR BLAKE“The king is too kind,” Deklan said as Ursa led us toward an ancient gigantic gate.I had just learned the Guardians’ names after we explained we would be leaving with Sammy. They reluctantly agreed, though they made it clear they’d escort us out and back. The King had commanded them to protect us, especially me.I didn’t refuse the King’s kindness, though a lot of questions ran through my mind about the Guardians’ castle and wondering why the king that I've never met was being nice to me. But saving Crystal Moon came first. Maybe later, when everything was settled, I would have a real conversation with Deklan, if I still had the chance to be with him.“We have to leave now!” Sammy cried, almost breaking into a sob as we paused at the gate. “Dominus just gave Oakwood the order to attack Crystal Moon!”Baptista stepped forward, drew a circle before the massive rusty gate, and a glowing path opened. Before us stood the boundary of Crystal Moon and its neighboring packs.I ha

Chapter: 33| Against All OddsDOMINUS MARUTO If those shit-faced twins hadn’t interrupted the blood ritual, it would have been completed before Deklan stormed in to snatch Cedar. Their roar had triggered something in her, provoking her inner strength to slip free. That's why I made a last minute decision to accomplish my mission by another means.I don’t know if I can trust Sammy, not after her betrayal. I haven’t even earned the right to use her. Not that I’ve ever earned anything from anyone. Everything I take, I take because I can. If she paid me back in my own coin, I wouldn’t even be surprised.Still, she’s a mother hen. She’ll do anything to protect her chick. I don’t feel guilty pressing that button against her, forcing her hand, because I still need another way to draw Cedar out of whatever hole Deklan is hiding her in.And now it was time. Time to unleash my anger on Crystal Moon Pack, just as I’d planned from the very beginning. If I couldn’t possess power through the ritual, then I’d claim it by bloods

I ground my teeth as I stormed inside, desperate to confirm what Jadrolita had told me.The woman had burst into the king’s training grounds, where he was busy showing off his archery skills, and told me someone, another me, had come to see Cedar the moment she woke up.Another Deklan Mario? My eyes darted to Cedar first. Relief washed over me to see that she was awake and safe, but then I saw him. My double. Standing beside her with his hand resting lightly on her waist as though he had the right.My face hardened. I clenched my fists so tightly my knuckles ached, probably turning white.“What is going on here?” Cedar’s confused gaze flicked between us.Of course she would doubt. How could she know which one of us was real? The one with his hand on her, or me…the one glaring from the doorway, furious and yet helpless to prove myself?

They should guard the boundary between our pack and the neighbouring territories. I have this hunch that Dominus would soon make a reckless move. He's short-tempered and capable of doing anything to get what he wants.I don't want to be caught off guard by him.That was why I decided to act first, making sure our defences were in place before he had the chance to strike. My pack could not afford blind wars. Blind wars destroy packs faster than any enemy could and the members end up as slaves to the conquering pack. It’s like my tricky card games, it’s not always about playing faster, it’s about playing smarter.I sat back on my throne, my eyes moving between Icarus and Nikko. They had been searching the woods, and as I listened to them

Chapter: 30| The ManipulatedCEDAR BLAKE I felt myself floating, weightless, as if invisible hands were carrying me back from the edge of death. My mind woke first, restless and sharp, before my eyes finally fluttered open. For a long moment, I just lay there, listening.Silence.Not the comforting kind of silence you hear when you’re safe at home, but the kind that creeps over your skin and makes your heart beat faster. The kind that tells you at once you are not in a hospital, not in your pack’s grounds, not anywhere near people who care about you.I pushed myself up slowly from the soft bed beneath me, fighting the heavy pull of dizziness. My gaze moved around the unfamiliar room, trying to catch details, trying to piece together where I was. Snippets of memory started flashing back like broken glass…Dominus, the blood binding ritual, his mouth drinking from me, my body reacting, the disappearance of the sun and then nothing but darkness.Whipping my head around too fast, I regretted it immediately.

The message hits me like a hammer to the chest, shattering what little composure I have left.No, she couldn't have done that.
