Chapter 78 [ 1,098 words ] Emilia’s POV “How happy can you be?” He threw his hands up. “Married to a man who’s divorced six wives? An Alpha cursed by the Moon Goddess?” “No one forced you back then, Emilia.” The words hit me like a punch to the chest.
Chapter 77 [ 1,119 words ] Emilia’s POV I changed, grabbed my bag, and headed out. The teahouse was one of those overpriced places with too many waiters and not enough parking. I walked in. My eyes scanned the room. First row, right side. Chuck sat there. Sweating. Nervous. Then
Chapter 76 [ 1,109 words ] Emilia’s POV I watched Scott’s taillights disappear around the corner before I turned around. Sebastian stood there, fists clenched, face dark as a storm cloud. He looked like he was about to explode. But I didn’t care. “Sebastian, do you know you’re weird?” I
Chapter 75 [ 978 words ] Sebastian’s POV “So, when is Emilia coming back?” My mother sighed, loud enough for the whole dining room to hear. “The food doesn’t taste right without her.” I stabbed my steak. Didn’t answer. Tiffany jumped in, grinning. “Mom, don’t get your hopes up. She
Chapter 74 [ 1,108 words ] Emilia’s POV I was in the bathroom, still wrapped in a towel, when I heard it. “Emilia! Emilia, come out! Quick!” Lily’s voice. High. Panicked. I grabbed my bathrobe and tied it as I walked out. “What’s wrong? What the hell is going on?”
Chapter 73 [ 1,028 words ] Sebastian’s POV I didn’t sleep that night. I stood outside her door for hours. Leaning against the wall. Staring at the crack under the door where light should have been. But there was nothing. Just silence at first. Then she started crying. Not the
Chapter 72 [ 738 words ] Emilia’s POV Sebastian appeared in my doorway. He stood there for a long moment. Then he walked in. Before he could say anything, I said, “I don’t want to talk. Get out.” A medical kit being set down on the floor. Then the door
Chapter 71 [ 735 words ] Emilia’s POV Dark. That was all I could see. All I could feel. The car door clicked shut, and the world went quiet. I reached for the handle and pulled. Nothing. Locked. No. No, no, no. I pulled again. Harder. The handle didn’t budge.
Chapter 70 [ 1,138 words ] Sebastian’s POV I didn’t look back. I didn’t need to. I knew she was still standing there, frozen by the table, surrounded by those vultures. Jeremy was probably already licking his lips, thinking about how to claim his prize. Let her see what kind
Chapter 69 [ 1,079 words ] Emilia’s POV I walked back into the booth. The dice had been replaced by cards. Chips were scattered across the table like candy. The game was already on. I didn’t sit down. I found a spot in the corner, pulled out my phone, and
Chapter 68 [ 1,143 words ] Emilia’s POV “Come in.” Before I could make up my mind, Sebastian had already given the order. No turning back now. I took a deep breath and walked in. “Hey, who’s this?” “Is she the seventh wife?” “Sebastian, you’re a lucky man. You change
Chapter 67 [ 1,041 words ] Emilia’s POV I didn’t say anything. But the name stuck. Abigail Tanner. The woman who left him at the altar and ran off with his cousin. I’d wondered about her. Hearing her name in the middle of all this didn’t exactly make me feel
Chapter 66 [ 1,028 words ] Emilia’s POV “Sebastian.” “I said wait—” He pushed the fabric aside, revealing the lace of my bra underneath. His eyes dropped, and I saw something dark flicker in them. “Why?” he asked, his voice low. Rough. “You don’t want this?” I opened my mouth.
Chapter 65 [ 1,015 words ] Emilia’s POV So close. His scent, minty and cedar, wrapped around me, and my stomach did a little flutter. I looked away, pretending not to notice. But the memory hit me. The last time we were this close was at the barbecue place. Except
Chapter 64 [ 1,169 words ] Emilia’s POV The waiter handed us the menus, and Sebastian gestured for me to order first. I pushed the menu back across the table. “You order. I don’t know this place. No clue what’s good.” He didn’t argue. Just flipped open the menu with
Chapter 63 [ 1,077 words ] Emilia’s POV I jerked my head up. Sebastian was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest, those green eyes fixed on me with an unreadable expression. My heart did an uncomfortable flip. “Did you close the door?” he asked. I blinked. Did
Chapter 62 [ 1,066 words ] Emilia’s POV “Come home. Now. Emilia.” My father Henry’s call came through. I stared at my phone for a moment. Whatever disaster Linda had created, I wanted a front-row seat. The drive to The Frostridge pack house felt shorter than usual—probably because I was
Chapter 61 [ 1,133 words ] Sebastian’s POV I stared at the vase Henry had just placed on my desk. “What the hell is this?” I asked. Henry’s face lit up with an eager smile. “Isn’t it the condition to win the bid? I spent ten million at the Phoenix
Chapter 60 [ 1,118 words ] Author’s POV Linda stormed back to her guest room, her wolf stirring restlessly. “That manipulative witch thinks she’s so clever. Does she really believe I’ll just run away? Not a chance in hell.” For a moment, she really wanted to leave this place, but
Chapter 59 [ 1,266 words ] Emilia’s POV My phone lit up with Henry’s name, and I already knew what this would be about before I even answered. Money. Benefits. Using me. I walked toward my secret room and put the phone to my ear. “Hello?” “Emilia, it’s me, Dad.”
