LOGINZack The moment the conference hall doors closed behind me, the smile vanished from my face. My expression hardened into something cold enough to freeze the air around me. My guards straightened immediately."Alpha Zack."I ignored the title. "Prepare the vehicle.""At once."Within seconds, the black armored SUV rolled to the entrance. One guard opened the rear door while another scanned the surroundings before nodding respectfully. I climbed inside, the door shut, and the driver started the engine. We pulled away from Silver Moon Pharmaceuticals.For several minutes, silence filled the vehicle. Outside the tinted windows, the city bustled with ordinary life. People walked through crowded streets, children laughed, merchants shouted from roadside stalls. None of them knew what had just happened inside that conference hall. None of them realized that everything I had spent years building, years manipulating, years preparing had begun slipping through my fingers in less than two hours
ZackThe applause echoed through the conference hall like a relentless storm, each clap striking me harder than a blade ever could.I stood frozen, unable to move, unable to think. My eyes remained fixed on Scarlett as though looking away would somehow erase everything that had just happened.No. This couldn't be real.My fingers curled into fists so tightly that my nails dug painfully into my palms.Goddess... how is this possible?I blinked once, twice, three times. For one ridiculous moment, I honestly believed I had fallen asleep during the presentation and this was nothing more than a nightmare.But it wasn't. It was real. Painfully real.Former Alpha Rowan stood in the center of the room, slowly flexing his fingers. The stiffness that had plagued his body for years had begun to disappear before everyone's eyes."My pain..." he had whispered. Then, with tears shimmering in his eyes, he'd smiled. "It's reducing."There had been no hesitation, no uncertainty, no sign of deception.
Scarlett's POV For a few seconds, no one spoke. The atmosphere inside the conference hall shifted so quickly that it almost felt unreal. Only moments ago, Zack had been standing there with absolute confidence, convinced that no one would attend. Now every seat reserved for the shareholders was occupied. The board members had also arrived. Even the council elders had taken their places at the front of the room. The silence was broken only by the soft scrape of chairs as everyone settled down. I watched Zack from the corner of my eye. His confident smile had completely disappeared, and his jaw tightened so hard that I thought he might crack a tooth. Good. For once, he finally knew what it felt like to lose control. I inhaled quietly before walking toward the center of the conference room. A massive digital screen stood behind me, stretching almost from one wall to the other. The words LUNAR REGENERATION PROJECT slowly illuminated the monitor in silver letters. I placed both hands l
Scarlett's POVI arrived at Silver Moon Pharmaceuticals long before the sun had fully risen.The sky was still painted in soft shades of grey and pale gold, as though the world itself hadn't yet decided whether to wake or remain asleep. But there was no hesitation in my steps as I entered the building. Today wasn't a day for uncertainty. It was a day for confirmation, for truth, for victory.Amelia was already waiting at the entrance of the research division when I arrived."You're early, Ma'am," she said with a small smile, falling into step beside me."I couldn't sleep," I replied honestly.She studied me for a moment but said nothing further. There was no need. We both understood what today meant: the final validation of the Lunar Regeneration Project.We stepped into the laboratory together, and the atmosphere inside immediately told me I wasn't the first to arrive. Everyone was already there, every researcher, every assistant, every scientist who had poured their nights and day
Scarlett The second name belonged to a man called Desmond Reyes, and according to Usher's notes, he could be found at a private gambling club on the southern edge of the territory, a place that catered to wolves who preferred their vices kept far from public view.The club itself was dim, expensive, thick with the low murmur of conversation and the soft click of chips against polished tables. Usher led the way through it with the ease of someone who had clearly been here before, and within minutes we had located Desmond seated at a private table near the back, a half-finished drink at his elbow and a stack of chips dwindling steadily in front of him.He looked up as I approached, and his expression cycled rapidly through confusion, recognition, and then something close to panic."Luna Scarlett." He stood so quickly his chair nearly toppled behind him. "I wasn't expecting...""I imagine not."He glanced nervously toward the other tables, lowering his voice. "If this is about the meet
Scarlett I left the office a little after six, the building gradually emptying around me as the evening shift took over the laboratory floor. By the time I reached the mansion, the sky had already begun its slow shift toward dusk, the gold of late afternoon fading into something deeper, more deliberate.I showered quickly, then dressed in something sharper than my usual office attire, a deep charcoal dress that moved easily and said exactly what it needed to say without a single word. Power, but not excess. Authority, but not arrogance. The kind of presence that made people sit up a little straighter without quite understanding why.At seven o'clock precisely, Usher's car pulled into the driveway.I stepped outside, and he opened the door for me himself, no driver between us, no unnecessary witnesses to whatever tonight would become."My men have already confirmed the locations," he said once we were moving, sliding a folded paper toward me from the passenger seat. "All five shareho
Scarlett’s POV Julie’s eyes burned with anger. Her lips curled as she lunged at me, her claws sharp and aimed straight for my throat. “I’ll teach you a lesson...” She roared with fury, but didn’t get to finish her words as a strong hand suddenly caught her wrist mid-air. Her claws stopped just i
Scarlett’s POV I returned to my room slowly, closing the door behind me. For a moment, I just stood there quietly. Then I walked to the bed and sat down, my fingers tightening around my phone. Then I opened the photo Usher had sent. I stared at it for a long time. In my previous life, I always
Scarlett's POV I stood beside my father's body until the doctors came to prepare him. Then I stepped outside, leaned against the cold corridor wall, closed my eyes, and gave myself exactly sixty seconds to fall apart. Sixty seconds. That was all I could afford. When I opened my eyes again, Ushe
Scarlett’s POV The Moonlight Werewolf Hospital stood tall in front of me. Tall gates surrounded the building, with layers of security cameras, tracking movement along every corner. Gamma warriors stood everywhere; on the ground, near the entrance, even on the rooftops Their eyes were sharp. Eve
