Chapter: Chapter 5Dahlia He nods and I realize that the reason he dropped by was to check me out. The certainty in his eyes that I could be Helen sends a ripple of questions through me. Maybe if I let him, every question I have about my past would be slightly answered.“Where?” I ask, my voice tight.“Pull off your shirt.” His voice is firm.My eyes go wide. Relief crashes through me when he adds, “Pull it off and turn.”It's weird but I obey, my muscles tense. I flinch at his touch, heat crawling up my spine. A shiver runs down my spine as his fingers brush around my waistline. My body stiffens, every nerve on edge.His touch disconnects but I still feel him close. A shiver of unease grips my skin as I feel his gaze tracing up my spine.I twist back toward him. “Anything?”His gaze drops and I cover myself quickly with my shirt. My chin burns in anxiety.His expression is unreadable, “Have a nice day,” he says before walking out.“What did you see?” I try to stop him.Like Noah, he gives me no answ

Chapter: Chapter 4Dahlia My mind refuses to settle, crowded with unanswered questions about my life, about my marriage. Still, I kiss Ellen goodbye before school, forcing a smile as I wave and watch the car disappear down the road.The simple sight twists my heart. What if digging into the past is the very thing that shatters this family? Why am I even afraid of it? What could possibly be so terrible back there?Noah knew Helen and maybe they dated. People have exes, he must have had plenty before me. That’s normal but why marry me after my sister passed away?Well, I’m the one he’s with now. That should be enough. It should quiet this unease.But it doesn’t.Because he keeps steering me away from the past and secrecy has a way of turning harmless truths into something ugly. If there’s nothing to hide, why hide it at all?Oh Goddess! I hate feeling this way.I step back into the house and shut the door. I clear the table, rinse the plates and stack them in the rack.I dump the dirty clothes into the

Chapter: Chapter 3EliasThe lights in their house go off one by one. I stand across from the street for nearly an hour, waiting calmly for this moment, when everywhere finally goes dark and quiet. When the bedroom light finally switches off, I cross the road, my steps soundless.Noah was never good at locking windows. Some habits never change, no matter how many years you spend pretending to be someone else.I slip my hand inside the window, reaching for the latch. I push the door open and step my foot inside their beloved home.He must have thought I would never find where he lives but I have. After bumping into him, I had him followed.Noah was good at detecting sounds. I wonder if he still does now that he's asleep. Well, there is only one way to find out.The house is warm, almost too warm for my liking. Seven years of a life carefully built and yet, I can’t help thinking he stole parts of mine to build it.That’s why I’m here. To see what’s really his and what should have been mine.I move throu

Chapter: Chapter 2Dahlia When the man’s eyes flicker to Ellen, I pull her closer to me. His gaze returns to me, his jaw ticking.“I can always know when it's Helen or Dahlia” His tone softens, “The scar.” His eyes drift to my temple, just above my brows. “How do you expect me to believe you're Dahlia?” He directs the question to me.My breath catches, “I am Dahlia.” I say confidently.But deep down, I am not sure of anything. He narrows his eyes, confused. Just as I amA scar? A way to tell us apart? So Noah and his brother had known Helen and me well enough to notice the difference between us.Why hadn’t Noah said anything? When he spoke of her, it sounded as though she was just a name, not someone he had known personally.Noah's arms loosen slightly around me, “We were both present at her burial. I don't think she resurrected from the dead.” He says mockingly, his voice calm like a man who had everything under his control. “Daddy, who's this man?” Ellen asks softly.“Someone….You don't have to kn

Chapter: Chapter 1Dahlia Seven years.That's how long I've been married to the man sitting across from me in this amazing restaurant, cutting his steak with the ease of someone who has nothing to worry about.The candles between us flicker softly, their light reflecting off the crystal glasses and bright faces of my husband, Noah and our daughter, Ellen. Everything looks perfect. The kind of perfection we usually get in the happy ending of a movie.Ellen hums cheerfully beside me, swinging her legs under her chairs as she counts the cherry tomatoes on her plates.“Mummy, daddy said today is special.” She grins from ear to ear.“It is,” I say softly, “Very special.”Noah lifts his glass, “Seven years,” he says warmly, “I still remember you burned the chicken on our first anniversary.”I burst out in laughter. That explains the reason why we've never spent our anniversary in our house after that night. The first and the last time, I would say.“You ate it anyway.” I counter.“I was in love” he says simp

I Came Back For My Alpha and Mate
Fear crept in, I couldn't lose her, and there was no time to rush back to the hospital. But then, without thinking, I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers. It was more like my wolf, Jean was in control, pulling me closer to her. She opened her lips, allowing me.
Instantly, I felt her pain, the burning agony in her leg. It all flooded into me, and after a while, the whole pain was gone.
My breath hitched, but I didn’t pull away. There was no pain anymore, just how soft and sweet her lips were.
She extracted her hand from mine and pulled me closer by the neck. She didn't want me to stop either.
I felt like going further and tearing off her clothes; I wanted her; I've always desired her. If only she wasn't wolf-less, if only she was strong, she would have been perfect for me.
She rolled her tongue inside me, making me grip her tighter. I began heaving, I wanted more.
********

Chapter: Chapter 138Louisa The both women raised their hands as their eyes immediately locked onto us, a blast of golden fire exploded across the chamber."Move!" George shouted.George and Ayana lunged forward, throwing both their hands forward, their own magic flaring to life. George's hands wove rapid sigils, sending bursts of dim golden fire hurtling toward the intruders. Ayana's voice rose in a sharp chant, summoning shimmering shields of ice that darted like arrows. The witch fight continued for a while, my heart beating so fast.The enemy witches seemed faster and crueler. And through it all, Agnes simply watched. She wasn't even trying to help.Another blast exploded through the room, which made George fly backward. Ayana barely managed to catch herself before slamming into a wall.That was when Scott suddenly grabbed my arm tighter.Jace stared at Agnes in disbelief. "You have to do something."Agnes didn't even blink. "Why would I do that?"Instantly, a wave of violet energy slammed into Ge

Chapter: Chapter 137Louisa Everything felt wrong and right at the same time. The room, the air, my body, even my own heartbeat sounded unfamiliar in my ears.I was back. After months of feeling trapped in a horizon of my own body, I was finally free. The memories were still rushing through me in fragments. Dying, darkness, voices, even dreams that had felt too real to be dreams.Weeks and months of nothingness. And now I was standing here again happily but terrified.My fingers trembled against my throat where Jace's dagger had left a thin burning line. While my gaze was across the room, staring at Agnes who stood like a living storm, golden eyes blazing while magic crackled invisibly around her.One wrong word, one wrong movement and everyone here would die. I couldn't let that happen, I had to try to reach her."Agnes..." My voice came out hoarse and her attention snapped toward me instantly, the fury in her eyes softening slightly.I swallowed. "Please." The single word felt pitiful against the tensi

Chapter: Chapter 136Scott Her lashes fluttered. For a second I thought my mind was playing tricks on me but then her eyes cracked open, glassy and unfocused. She blinked once, twice, her gaze settling first on Jace.“Jace…” Her voice was uncertain.Then her head tilted slightly, her pupils dragging toward me. “Alpha… Scott?”Something in my chest uncoiled all at once. The corners of my mouth lifted, almost against my will, and the weight I’d been carrying for weeks eased just enough for me to breathe.“Welcome back, Louisa,” I said softly.Jace steadied her as she pushed herself upright, her movements shaky, her confusion clear. Her fingers dug into his sleeve like she was clinging to the one thing familiar.I gave Ayana a short nod. She understood instantly. Raising one trembling hand, she whispered an incantation. Power spilled through the air, thick and suffocating, and the casket slammed shut with a deep, final thud.The noise made Jace snap his head up. He lunged toward it, fury and desperation bla

Chapter: Chapter 135ScottHer smirk didn’t falter even as my fingers pressed tighter against her throat. Slowly, deliberately, she slipped a hand into her pocket. For a moment, I thought she might pull a blade, but instead she drew out a folded paper, old and creased at the edges.“Here,” she rasped.I hesitated, then released her with a shove. My hand snatched the paper from her grasp. The rough texture brushed against my fingertips as I unfolded it. Symbols spiraled across the page, twisted lines, unfamiliar letters, markings that made my head ache just staring at them.“What is this?” I growled.“The spell,” she replied smoothly, rubbing her throat where my grip had been.I turned, shoving the paper into George’s hands.At once, Louisa’s guards lowered their weapons. A ripple of movement followed, my guards lowering theirs reluctantly, eyes still sharp with suspicion. Ayana flicked her wrists, and the glow pinning Jace to the wall sputtered out. He crashed to the floor, coughing, his hand instinctivel

Chapter: Chapter 134Scott The sharp blare of a horn cut through the air, jolting every nerve in me. I flicked a quick wink at the nearest guard, and he hurried toward the door.Before he could even report back, my mother rushed in, her silk gown brushing against the floor as she stormed into the sitting room, her voice shrill.“Why is the Leatherhead Pack surrounding our home?”I froze, my eyes snapping to Jace. My gut twisted with dread, already knowing the answer.George’s voice sliced the silence. “You said she was coming in a taxi, Jace.”Jace’s lips twitched. “I lied.”Our Mother turned on him immediately, confusion etched across her face. “Jace, you didn’t travel like they said… Well, that’s by the way. What is going on?”Jace took one measured step back, his hands raised as if that would calm the fire building in me. “Agnes is just taking caution. She means no harm…. No one has to die today.”I couldn't believe what I was hearing but I knew I had to do something. My chest rose, my voice bellowing

Chapter: Chapter 133Scott Jace’s boots clicked against the marble as he strode toward us, his posture unnervingly composed. His eyes swept the room once, then settled on me.“The witch habitating Louisa’s body,” he said calmly, almost too calmly, “is Agnes Hales.”My body stiffened, the name slamming into me like a blade to the gut. My eyes narrowed. “What?”Ayana gasped, “Agnes Hales… one of the three witches who returned for the destruction of your family.”Jace’s lips curved into something dangerously close to a smile. “Not anymore. I think she’s had a change of heart.”My stomach twisted. I stepped closer, searching his face for the brother I knew, but all I found was someone different. Jace wasn't the one to be easily fooled.“You sound bewitched, brother.” I voiced out.He closed the distance between us, his eyes boring into mine, his voice steady and unyielding. “I’m not bewitched, brother.”George scoffed. “Agnes Hales was the regent of the coven your grandfather butchered.

Chapter: Chapter 16Seraphina His mouth latches onto me fully, sucking gently at first, then with more hunger, his tongue flicking and circling that swollen, sensitive bud. I can’t stop the sounds spilling from me, moans, whimpers, broken pleas that don’t even sound like my voice anymore. The wet heat of his tongue, the gentle scrape of his teeth, the way he groans against my flesh as if he’s savoring me… it’s too much.My hips buck against his face shamelessly, chasing more, needing more.Pleasure coils tighter and tighter inside me, my fingers fisting tighter in his hair, pulling him closer as my back arches off the wall. “Evander…oh Goddess, please… don't stop.” The words dissolve into a cry as he sucks harder, his tongue working faster. The orgasm rips through me even more violently than the first, tearing a loud, shuddering moan from my throat. My whole body convulses, waves of ecstasy crashing over me again and again until I’m trembling, gasping, nearly sobbing from the intensity.Gosh!! I am

No man has ever touched me this way before. Not even my actual husband, Raze.Evander watches my face carefully as his fingers move again and another helpless sound slips from my throat, heat flooding between my legs embarrassingly fast.His thumb brushes gently against a sensitive spot and my entire body jerks. I grab his wrist to be certain he doesn't pull his hand away.His breathing roughens slightly, then suddenly he pulls his hand away completely, despite my grip.I stare at him in shock. “Why did you stop?”He takes a deep breath. “Just lie down and open your legs. I’ll fuck you and let my wolf reach yours.”Disappointment hits me so fast it surprises even me. “But…” I hesitate. “I liked what you were doing.”The silence afterward is deafening. I immediately realize what I just admitted and my face

Chapter: Chapter 14Seraphina I should make up my mind right now. The only way to be strong enough to get out of here and go back home is by healing my wolf and the faster means of healing my wolf is bonding with another alpha.Despite my decision, my fingers tremble slightly against the silk belt of my nightrobe as I stand frozen near the edge of this massive bedroom.The room is dim except for the golden lamp near the bed, casting shadows against the dark walls.My throat tightens as I watch him, standing near his wardrobe wearing nothing but a black robe loosely tied around his waist, exposing part of his chest every time he moves. My eyes betray me instantly, drifting there again. Goddess! His chest is broad and so firm and the hairs in there kinda makes something strange flutter low inside my stomach.I don't know but this is strange. I shouldn't be feeling this way towards a man I barely know. Damn it! Why am I even still staring at his chest hair?I quickly look away, only for my gaze to drift r

I don't know what to do, should I run?I take a deep breath as she approaches, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. Her gaze drifts over me then she halts, staring at my face through the veil.Her hand lifts to touch my veil. Instinctively, I catch her wrist before her fingers can brush the fabric.For a moment, neither of us moves.Then I lift my chin slightly, meeting her gaze through the thin veil that separates us.She stares directly into my eyes, my heart pounding.Her lips curve. “You must be a fool to think I do not know that you are not my daughter.”The words hit like a blade. So she is aware all along, I'm guessing the father is as well. They both know their daughter is safe and won't die, they probably also know where she is.

I'm guessing the Cindersteel Creed didn't think this part through or were they expecting that I also pretend in front of her parents?Damn it!The moment I heal and get my wolf, I'm getting out of this cruel predicament.I place my hand in his and we begin to walk, the door opening wider.The entire hall rises.

They weren't even guests, they were media personalities, to spread the word that Kenna Starclaw is marrying Alpha Evander!My heart begins beating fast.

Chapter: Chapter 11Seraphina My silk wedding dress cascades down my body, hugging every curve of mine. My hair falls in soft waves over my shoulders, my veil pinned just enough to look effortlessly bridal. It's my wedding day again.“Hold still, my lady,” the same maid I had attacked yesterday murmurs behind me, her fingers tugging the corset tighter.I can't pinpoint exactly why Ann had to send her in particular.Regardless, my gaze is locked on the mirror. I keep staring at my reddened lips, it is the same colour of lipstick I had chosen on my last wedding.Quite the irony. I thought it was going to be the best day of my life. I was so happy to marry Raze. I still remember how I kept smiling, glancing at him to smile back but he never did.Now, barely ten days later, I am here, putting on a wedding dress again. All to marry a total stranger and die afterwards, if I must add.A shaky breath escapes me as she pulls the laces again, the sudden pressure dragging me out of my thoughts.“Done,” she says s

Renric has actually tightened my hands. The words tangle on my tongue, my pulse thundering in my ears as heat rises to my face.To my astonishment, his voice rings out decisively. “Of course it is.”I turn my head sharply to look at him. Our eyes meet for a brief second before I force my gaze back to the crowd, forcing a small and composed nod.“Yes, our child is also heir to the throne of Eastern Lythengar.”Everyone cheers. Renric smiles.The press conference drags on. By the time it ends, my shoulders ache from the tension I’ve been holding.We walk back inside together in heavy silence, my heart beating so fast.

The last thing I need is bloodshed, especially with my newborn son in my arms. “Stand down. I won’t have violence over this.”I march back inside, each step heavy with resentment and exhaustion. He better not be serious with all these.In the nursery, I gently hand our sleeping son to the nanny, my fingers lingering on his soft cheek for a moment longer than necessary. “Watch him carefully,” I whisper.Then I s

But it doesn't feel so.We still don't know what the outcome of his appeal would be. We should be focused on that, not this.“I… I don’t think this is the right time,” I whisper, my voice barely steady as I slowly lay the baby on the bed.He stands up immediately, his movements sharp and stiff. Hurt flashes across his face, quickly hardening into anger. His shoulders tense, fists clenching at his sides. “Right time?” his voice echoes, “But you were willing to say yes to Damon.”I flinch, stepping back slightly. “Please don’t do that,” I plead, “I only wanted to get my home back. That’s all it was.”“And you don’t think I can do that for you?” he cuts in.“How?” I quickly ask.His face crumples for a brief second. I think he misunderstands because he simply nods and without another word, he turns and walks out.I only meant he already has enough on his plate right now.

My body feels strangely light, powerful even after everything, but the moment my eyes focus and land on Renric, my chest tightens.He is standing a few feet away, staring at me with a look that twists my heart. He looks moody and devastated, his shoulders slumped and jaw clenched like he’s barely holding himself together.What could be bothering him at the moment? We survived his curse. Or perhaps it is his impending execution. I push myself up carefully, wincing slightly as I sit against the pillows. “Is there a problem?” I ask, even when it is obvious.He doesn’t answer right away. His gaze drops, then lifts back to mine heavily with pain. “When were you going to tell me?”“Tell you what?” I ask, furrowing my brows.He stays silent, his eyes flicking toward the table beside the bed. I follow his gaze and my stomach drops. The folder containing Damon’s contract lies open. Damn it! He knows.
