Chapter: Damn It!POV: Edmond"What did you tell him?""That things were moving forward." She opened her eyes and looked at me sideways, that look she had, the one that landed somewhere in the center of my chest."It wasn't a lie." I looked at her for a moment."No," I said."It wasn't a lie, and it’s not the truth either."“He’s not strong enough to handle the truth. If he knows we are no longer together, he may be forced to withdraw into his shell and slow down his recovery. I can’t bear it if his treatment fails again. I need him to recover faster so we can get back out inheritance,” she stated firmly.“He will be fine, Lina. I will not let anything stop his healing progress, I won’t ...”“Thats the problem, Eddie. He trust you so much and it’s going to break his heart when he finds out the truth. I can’t let him find out, that’s why I need you to stay away from us. If you keep coming here and your grandfather finds out about your secret visits, we’ll get in trouble again, and this time, Jason will

Chapter: The MarketPOV: EdmondSaturday was supposed to be simple. I had a full morning of calls scheduled, a lunch with the board that had been rearranged three times and could not reasonably be rearranged a fourth, and an afternoon that belonged entirely to the stack of contracts sitting on my desk judging me quietly every time I walked past.I knew Selina went to the farmer's market on Saturdays.Not the large one downtown that everyone knew about. The smaller one on Whitfield Street, three blocks from her building, the one that set up between the old library and the dry cleaner with the faded yellow sign.She had mentioned it once, months ago, in a conversation that had no reason to stick in my memory as firmly as it had. She had said the tomatoes there were the only ones worth buying in this city, and she had said it with the particular conviction she reserved for things she considered non-negotiable.I had cancelled the lunch with the board by nine-thirty. I told Marcus it was a conflict. He had l

Chapter: Just A GlimpsePOV: EdmondIt was the groceries that finally broke me. I had been driving past on a Tuesday morning, the fourteen-minute route, traffic lights cooperating for once in a way that felt almost cruel, and I had seen her.Not just a glimpse this time. She was standing outside a corner shop two blocks from her building, juggling three bags that were clearly too heavy, trying to get her keys out of her pocket without dropping everything, and she was losing the battle spectacularly.I was past her before my brain finished processing the image. I circled the block. I told myself I was just making sure she was fine. I told myself I would keep driving if she had managed the bags. I told myself a lot of things in the forty seconds it took to come back around.She had made it approximately six steps from the shop door and was now crouched on the pavement attempting to repack a bag that had given up entirely, canned goods rolling gently toward the gutter.I pulled over, I was out of the car before

Chapter: Driving By Just To See Her POV: EdmondThree weeks.Twenty-three days, to be exact. I had counted every single one of them like a man serving a sentence, which was exactly what this was, a fucking sentence. It’s a cage dressed up in expensive furniture and a woman who smiled too wide at dinner and called me ‘darling’ in front of staff who didn’t care either way.Alexia had redecorated the east wing guest room. That was where she slept, because that was the only room in this house I had made available to her. She had complained once, loudly, dramatically, with tears that dried suspiciously fast the moment she realized I wasn’t watching. I had stood in the doorway of the master bedroom, looked at her, and said with complete calm,“You wanted a husband just to be a wife, didn’t you?Well, congratulations wifey, you got a last name, you are a wife to a total stranger. Don’t push it, don’t make me take my anger out on you. Enjoy your title and status while it lasts.” I told her, shutting the door in her face. She h

Chapter: I Trust HimPOV: SelinaThe cold of the marble island bled through my thin dress, a shock against the back of my thighs that made me gasp. Edmond didn’t move. His hands stayed at my waist, fingers splayed, thumbs pressing into the ridge of my hip bones with a pressure that was almost punitive.“Alexia’s husband,” I said, the words tasting like copper.“That’s what you are now.” You could see the sadness and pain in my eyes, the thought alone upsets me. His jaw tightened. A muscle flickered at the corner of his mouth.“Don’t.” He warned me.“Don’t what?Say it out loud?” I scoffed. My fingers were still laced behind his neck. I could feel the heat of his skin through his collar, the dampness at his hairline from the stress of the day.“You married her, Edmond. You stood there and let that vile old man put her hand in yours and you said...”“I said what I had to say.” His voice was so quiet it was barely a vibration in the air between us.“That I accept her as my wife?Come on, my love, you know I

Chapter: Back HomePOV: SelinaThe drive back to my apartment was quiet. Jason had fallen asleep almost immediately after we settled him in the backseat, his head resting against the window, chest rising and falling in the steady rhythm of someone finally at peace after too much chaos. I sat beside him, one hand resting on his arm, watching the city blur past the glass.Edmond drove, he didn’t say a word, neither did I. But every few minutes, his eyes would find mine in the rearview mirror, and something unbearable would pass between us, the kind of thing that didn’t need words, the kind of thing that hurt worse because of it.“He may be your husband, Alexia, but I own his heart.” I had said it, and I had meant every syllable. But somewhere between that grand exit and this suffocating silence, the weight of what those words actually meant had crashed down on me. He was married, not almost, not in some vague, complicated way that left room for interpretation. He had signed the papers. Alexia’s ring was s

Prince Xander's Timid Mate
Heather was found around the packs borders when she was just eight years old. She was found with nothing but a name tag on her wrist that says Heather Snow. She was treated like an outcast because no one knows her background and family history.
On her sixteenth birthday, a ceremony was held in the pack for everyone in her age bracket. It was supposed to be the night when they all shift for the first time and have their first run in the woods with the rest of the pack. This particular ceremony was even more important because the future Alpha of the Demon Wolf Pack was supposed to shift on that very night, so everyone important like the Alpha and other elites were present.
Unfortunately, Heather could not shift that night, while everyone shifted and had a fun night. She was made to sleep in the stables as punishment for being a wolfless omega. They thought she is a weak omega because she couldn't shift, they have no idea that she shifted on her fourteenth birthday, which is two years before her peers. She had to keep it a secret because shifting so early was considered a taboo, besides, her wolf is quite different from the rest, it has a snow white fur, just like the rogues.
What happens when Heather finds out that she is mated to the Alpha of the Demon wolf pack, the same Alpha that bullies and Demeans her every fucking day. Will she forgive him and accept the bond?
Will he get rid of his chosen mate Mira and accept the bond with his true mate Heather?
Find out what happens when the Lycan prince Xander shows up mysteriously and finds his mate being bullied and abused by an ordinary Alpha.

Chapter: Epilogue POV: Heather“I’ll be your sister, Alexis. I’ll love you like Alexia did and I will always look out for you, just like she did. I have no family and neither do you, so we can both look out for each other and protect each other.” I told him, smiling up at him hoping he would accept my offer. Taking care of her brother and always looking out for him is the only way I can honor her memory and prove to her that she is still my best friend, even in death. Doing this would ease my conscience and make me forgive myself a little for all the terrible things I’ve done.“That would be perfect, Heath. I’ll be a good big brother, I promise.” He responded excitedly, pulling me in for a hug. I sobbed in his arms and I felt my heart getting lighter as I unburdened the load weighing on my chest. After a few minutes in his arms, he helped me wipe off my tears like Richard used to do for me when we were kids. I smiled at the gesture, loving him like a brother already.“And lest I forget, my first duty a

Chapter: Alexia Is DeadPOV: Heather“Please, Xan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to defy your orders, I just wanted to help my mom, I thought she had changed. I honestly thought she would realize that I love her and accept me as her family. I wanted her to be the mom I used to know, I wanted the Marie who stood by me and protected me from bullies in the pack house. I never knew she hated me that much, I never thought she would try to kill me.” I sobbed, trying to get him to at least look at my face. But he wouldn’t spare me a glance because he is still pissed off at me.He was so scared when he heard the gunshot, and felt the pain in his heart. He thought he’d lost me and that really scared him. The truth is, if he had come in one minute later, I’m not sure I would have survived it. I had already passed out when they arrived, and Alexia was lying in a pool of blood, unable to help me because Leon shot her right after he shot me. This time he did not use the poison that was used before because I just administered

Chapter: She Was ShotPOV: XanderI started suspecting Leon after Lewis was killed by the rogues. Of all my friends, he is the only one who has not done anything suspicious since all this started. He is always quick to support me and as far as I’m concerned, he has been loyal to me from the beginning. He is my beta, and yes, I expect him to be loyal, but not this loyal. Not to the point where he never questions my decision or even challenges my wrong choices. He just lets me do whatever I please, whether good or bad, he just doesn’t care.When I first accused Alexis of being a traitor, he did everything he could to convince me that he was not working with my enemies. He was so agitated and he wouldn’t stop trying to prove his innocence to me, not even when I was branded a trait by my own father. Alexis stayed close by and he offered to help me find the trait if I would let him. He claimed he was framed by someone in this house and he wanted to find out who had tried to frame him.I didn’t really trust him

Chapter: The Royal Proclamation POV: XanderHe felt it the moment it happened, he felt his sister's pain the moment she was shot and he screamed in pain, holding his heart as if he were the victim. We were in my dad's office, going through the videos one after the other and compiling the names of the different parts that betrayed the kingdom. At first, Dad didn’t want to believe it, he nearly kicked me out of his office and he called me a bloody liar and a traitor. We argued, and fought, and then argued some more before he finally agreed to see the evidence that I claim to have against his precious lycan royals that he considers family.It took a few minutes to sort out the videos because they were all jumbled up on my system. While I sorted out the videos, Dad called a few lycans from each family to his office, and he called in the committee he had put together to judge Heather and I. He wanted them to see that he was not a part of this baseless accusation, and he wanted them to get more points to use against me in

Chapter: ShotPOV: Heather“What the hell are you doing?” I asked her furiously, jerking her so hard to get her to snap out of it. Her eyes came back to normal and she glared furiously at me, turning with her lycan speed to threaten me with her look.“Are you fucking insane, Heather?Do you have a death wish?Can’t you smell the danger lurking in the dark, can’t you see that we are not supposed to be here?You should have let me speak with Xander, we need his help to get out of here?” She yelled at my face. More like crying out in frustration because she doesn’t want to be here and I’m forcing her to stay with me.“I won’t let you ruin this for me because I warned you to stay back but you wouldn’t listen to me. Now I’m here already, and there is no going back. I don’t know if our enemies are close by, but ill be damn if I let you keep me away from my mom for one more minute. You stood up for your brother when he needed you, now it’s time for me to save my mom.” I yelled in her face, glaring angrily

Chapter: Suddenly Feeling ScaredPOV: Heather“How is she, why won’t she come along with you?” I asked him the moment he picked up my call. Alexia was busy checking around the house, searching for explosives or something. She did not see me going through my phone, but when she heard my voice she looked up immediately and she came running towards me, looking so shocked.“What the hell are you doing?” She yelled at me, trying to snatch my phone from me, but I put out my hand, stopping her from reaching for my phone. I gave her a look that said,“Calm down, I know what I’m doing.” She seemed to get the point, and she stood still, folding her hands on her chest. She did not try to take my phone again, but I could tell that she was still not comfortable with my decision. I ignored her and kept talking to Leon, telling him how grateful I was that he chose to look out for me. He was never this nice to me, I wonder what I did to make him like me this much. I guess he just wanted to take his time and get to know the real me b
