181| Monster.

MALCOLMRage blasted through my entire being as I returned my attention to the woman in the cell.“Who are you working for?” I growled as I grabbed her neck and lifted her with it, pinning her against the wall. Her injured legs dangled as she winced in pain.“Who do you work for?” I repeated. “Who hired you?”I knew for sure that there was more to this. She and Julian weren’t alone in this.“Who hired me?” she smirked. “Alpha, are you underestimating me? Do you think I cannot carry out such an act alone?”She fucking thought this was a joke.My eyes turned red with anger. I applied pressure to her neck. Now, raw fear flicked through her eyes.She tapped my hand desperately, begging to be released, but I didn’t even budge. I kept staring at her, making sure that her face had started turning blue before I released my grip. She crumpled to the floor.She coughed repeatedly and gasped for breath.I crouched before her, and I could tell my eyes had turned to their darkest shade.“Who. Hire

182| Rivals.

THIRD PERSON POVThe room was quiet and dark. Two powerful men sat opposite each other, a large rectangular table separating them. Beyond the floor to ceiling glass window, West Haven spread out into the night.Sebastian Virelli, whose back was to the window, tapped his finger repeatedly on the arm of the chair. He was a man in his late forties, tall, with honey-brown hair and brown eyes. He was the CEO of Virelli Global Fabrics.Opposite him was Marcus Draxen, the CEO of Draxen Industrial Group. He was blonde, with bright blue eyes that didn’t match the darkness within him. He was also in his early forties. He had vodka swirling between his fingers as he stared at Sebastian.“We underestimated her,” Sebastian finally broke the silence.“No,” Marcus said sharply, pointing at Sebastian with his other hand, “you underestimated her.”Sebastian breathed heavily, rubbing his palm over his face. “What the hell do we do now? We had everything under control. Julian had everything under contro

183| For You. With you.

MALCOLMIt made sense that she felt that way. Anyone would. The thought of something so private being exposed like that, turned into something people could watch and talk about, was terrifying. Society wasn’t kind to women when things like that happened. It never had been. Once it got out, it wouldn’t matter who she was or everything she had worked for. People would reduce her to that one moment. They would keep bringing it up, reminding her in ways both loud and quiet that her body was out there for everyone to see. It would follow her everywhere, tied to her name, overshadowing everything else she had done to earn respect. Meanwhile, the man involved would walk away without much consequence, sometimes even getting praised for the same thing she was being judged for. It was unfair, but it was the reality. And because of that, I understood Rhonda’s pain. I really did.I understood the fear of her children, our children, being bullied at school because of their mother's video online.

184| Lies.

MALCOLM“Emma,” I groaned.“Brother, really, what is it with her? She’s just using you. Can’t you see that?” Emma retorted, folding her arms over her chest.I tilted my head to the side. “Using me?”“Yes. She’s making you go out of character. You have a wounded girl in the dungeon who you plan to torture. And you do not torture women. Not until Rhonda made you,” she took a step closer.“Open your eyes, brother. That girl brings nothing but chaos and destruction into your life. Because of her, you almost lost your company. I cannot allow you to lose yourself.”“Who told you about the girl in the dungeon?” she seemed to know more than she should. “And how do you know that she’s here because of Rhonda?”“The—she—it’s...” she stuttered. “Rumours spread fast. And they got to me.”I hadn’t heard any other pack members talking about it.“Emma, I have warned you before, and I will make it clear now. There’s nothing that could ever make me leave Rhonda. Whatever problem you have with her being

185| Stranger. Blood.

RHONDA“Leo!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, going room by room to look for him. The manor workers also joined in the search, everyone moving frantically. After a minute of not seeing him, I ran to the control room to check the CCTV footage of the manor.No one was inside. Within two minutes, I was able to trace Leo’s movement. Barely five minutes before I arrived, he left the manor and walked towards the woods.He wasn’t kidnapped. He wandered off on his own.“The woods,” I screamed as I burst out of the manor and ran towards the direction Leo had gone.My chest beat really hard, my stomach tightening with fear as I screamed his name.“Leo!” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “Where are you? Leo, where are you? Mommy is worried.”Silence. I ran further into the woods, searching desperately for my son. I couldn’t afford to lose him. What if a wild animal found him first and devoured him? He was just a child. He wouldn’t be able to defend himself. The more I ran and screamed, the mor

186| Butterflies.

MALCOLMI didn’t even know how I got into my car and started speeding towards the Nova Care Medical Center where Rhonda had been taken. My heart was beating really fast against my chest. I wouldn’t survive losing Rhonda.When I arrived at the hospital, I didn’t even park my car properly before jumping out and rushing inside. Victor met me on the way and I threw the car keys at him to park it properly.“Where is she?” I asked, and he told me her ward.I got into the elevator and went straight there. Her grandparents were outside, their faces pale with worry.“What’s the situation?” I asked breathlessly.“The doctors are still inside,” Martha told me. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Blood. There was blood. I didn’t know...” she gasped.Zack wrapped his arm around her to help calm his wife. He was also visibly devastated, but he tried to hold it together for her.“And Leo?” I asked. “Where is he? Is he fine?”“Yes. He is fine. But he is on a drip. There were traces of wolfsbane in his bloo

187| Pack House.

RHONDAThe only other people who knew about Leo’s obsession with butterflies were Layla and Theodore. Theodore was many things, but he wouldn’t hurt his kid. Layla, however, had done it before. Twice. She kidnapped him twice, now making it the third. She got away with the other two, but I would make her suffer now. I’d show her that I wasn’t one to be messed with.“The man who tried to kidnap him has brown hair. He has a scar on his face and...” I tried to describe him to Malcolm as that might help him find him. But...“Victor and Kane caught him,” Malcolm told me. “He’s in police custody. I wish they never took him there. I would have handled him myself and gotten answers from him.”I swallowed. “Get me my phone, please. Where is it?”“Was her phone with her when she was brought here?” Malcolm asked my grandparents, and they shook their heads.“What do you want to do with it? You can use mine,” Grandpa offered.“I need to call Layla. But I assume you don’t have her contact.” I tried

188| Sinful Things.

RHONDAI proceeded into the room. The moment I entered, Theodore’s call came in.“I guess you have left the hospital,” were the first words he said when I answered the call.My face squeezed with a frown. “How did you know I was in the hospital?”“Rumors spread, Rhonda,” he muttered. “So much for someone who claimed my son wasn’t safe in my territory.”“How did you know that? Because not so many people know that,” a thought crossed my mind and I blasted the question at him. “Did you do it? Did you send that man? You said you were going to appeal. Is this your way of finding a better argument? By kidnapping your own son?”“Nonsense,” he groaned. “Why would I do that anyway?” He changed the subject. “I have Leo this weekend.” “How would the arrangement be?” I asked. “You’d have to book another apartment to stay with Leo, because I cannot trust him with your Luna-to-be!”“Why can’t you trust him with her? Are you perhaps still jealous? Are you afraid that Leo would choose her over you?

189| Two Days.

RHONDAThe weekend came and Leo and I were prepared to go to Brighton City. Malcolm offered to follow, but I declined, citing that he needed to remain in West Haven to run his company and his pack. Moreover, Leo and I would be in the Diamond Pack estate all through the visit. And we all knew that Malcolm wouldn’t be allowed to step foot into the estate.“I will miss you though,” Malcolm muttered as he accompanied us to the car that was to convey us to the airport where his private jet was waiting to fly us to Brighton.“Oh, I will miss you more,” I wrapped my arms around him, throwing my head back to meet his gaze. “I’ll be back before you know it.”He planted a kiss on my lips. “Please be careful. If I could, then I would’ve found a way to stop you from going there.”I also dreaded the idea of going to that pack, talk more of staying there for two nights. Sunday evening, I’d pack my bags and leave there with my son. Hell, I was already considering appealing in court, demanding comple

190| Negative Aura.

RHONDACockroaches. Crickets. Ants. All sorts of bugs filled the entire room. Leo also screamed.What the actual fuck? What the hell was happening?“Oops,” Layla’s voice sounded from behind. “Only a room filled with filth gets infested with bugs. But...” she poked her head into the room, “this room doesn’t appear to be dirty. So it seems from the surface. Perhaps, the room was filled with a lot of negative aura, left in the wake of the one who used to occupy it.”I didn’t need rocket science knowledge to know that this was Layla’s doing.I glared at her, rage rumbling in my chest.“Ex-Luna. Do you have anything to say?” she flicked her gaze at me, a contemptuous smile on her lips. She had stressed the ‘Ex.’She was doing this intentionally. Trying to provoke me. She wanted to get a reaction out of me, take the opportunity to escalate it, and make me look crazy for accusing her. People had already gathered, watching to see what would happen. I knew better than to move in line with her
