Chapter 155 [ 1,115 words ] Author’s POV Linda stormed back to the Frostridge pack, her face still flushed with rage from the encounter at the restaurant. How dare Emilia show her face in Silverlake City again? How dare she act so smug, so untouchable? She slammed her bedroom door

Chapter 148 [ 1,111 words ] Emilia’s POV Sebastian: “Have you lost all your money yet? Come to bed if you’re done bankrupting yourself.” I stared at the screen. How did he know? I opened the mind-link. “How do you know I’m losing?” “I glanced out the window and saw
