Flames roared, the fire alarm screaming. I slipped out a side exit, found a phone booth, and dialed a number I hadn't touched in years.
"Nick, you said I could rejoin the orchestra anytime in five years. Still true?"
His voice, deep as a cello, rumbled back. "Of course, my dear Clare. Elthenia's fans are heartbroken without you."
"My identity's. complicated. It'll take three days to sort out pack clearance."
"How do you plan to leave Galathia Pack? Julian won't let you go easily."
My eyes flickered with resolve. "I'll give him my corpse."
If he wanted someone else to be "Clara," I'd vanish from his life completely.
Suddenly, warm arms wrapped around my waist. Julian buried his face in my shoulder, trembling. "My mate, thank the stars you're okay. If anything happened to you, I'd be done for."
Ethan, panting nearby, added, "Clara, Julian thought you were still inside. He was ready to die searching for you in that blaze. The chandelier nearly crushed him."
I noticed Julian's arms-burned, his clothes torn, eyes red from smoke. My breath caught, my heart stinging like it was pricked by needles. Julian, you'd risk your life for me. So why does your heart howl for two she-wolves?
"Julian." A soft, timid voice interrupted-Lydia, in a white dress, dragging a suitcase.
His grip on me stiffened, then released. He ruffled my hair, lying smoothly, "My mate, a pack ally's here to talk business. Wait for me."
He strode to Lydia, pulling her into his arms, signing, "Lydia, why'd you come alone? I said I'd see you and the pup tonight."
"I missed you," she signed back. "And I want to care for Clara to make up for my wrongs."
"You owe her nothing. I'm the one who wronged you and the pup by making you live under her name."
He kissed her, his eyes brimming with tenderness, then signed, "I named the pup-Nathaniel for a boy, Sophia for a girl."
I stood frozen, my heart slashed to pieces. Last year, when I found out I was carrying his pup, Julian was over the moon. He rented out an entire hot spring villa, gave me a disc with 9,999 recorded love confessions. But when I went to play it, he got a call-a she-wolf crying faintly in the background. He kissed my belly, saying, "My mate, pack business. I'll be back."
I waited a day and a night, but he never came. Instead, an avalanche did. Our pup died that winter.
Now, watching him caress Lydia's belly with that same tender touch, I gave a bitter smile. I was the only one trapped in that avalanche.
"My mate, I've been swamped, so I got a healer to look after you," Julian said, leading Lydia forward, his eyes soft with adoration.
"Ms. Joyner, hi," Lydia said shyly.
Ms. Joyner, not Mrs. Chase. Julian frowned but didn't correct her. My gaze lingered on Lydia's kiss-swollen lips, my nails digging into my palms.
Julian draped his wool coat over me. "It's cold, my mate. Let's head home."
Before I could respond, I saw Lydia flash a sign-received-and Julian gave her a doting kiss. They walked ahead, hand in hand, like a perfect pair. I watched him, a wolf who hated cooking fumes, tie on an apron to make Lydia's meal, laughing in the smoky kitchen. I watched him serve me soup with care, then wipe a grain of rice from Lydia's lips, signing, "Little fool, you're too cute."
I sipped the scalding soup, head bowed, eyes burning but dry. Having been loved by Julian made his familiar gestures to her cut deeper. I finally understood-he truly loved Lydia now.

On the night her father is disgraced and arrested for a crime he swears he didn't commit, Amara Adeyemi loses everything-her family name, her fiancé, and the future she thought was secure. The media tears them apart. The powerful Bello dynasty stands untouched. And at the center of it all is one man.
Khalil Bello.
Cold. Calculated. Untouchable.
To the world, Khalil is the brilliant heir to a multibillion-naira empire. To Amara, he is the architect of her family's ruin.
So when Khalil proposes marriage six months later, it isn't romance-it's war.
He offers her a deal: marry him, restore her family's reputation, and secure her father's legal defense. In exchange, she becomes his wife in name only, a strategic alliance meant to silence rumors and secure his corporate takeover. He thinks he's controlling the board.
He doesn't realize she's playing her own game.
Amara says yes with revenge in her heart.
She plans to destroy him from the inside.
But marriage isn't the battlefield she expects.
Behind closed doors, Khalil is not the ruthless villain she imagined. He is guarded but broken, driven by secrets he refuses to reveal. Their home becomes a quiet war zone of icy dinners, loaded silences, and accidental intimacy. Every touch is a weapon. Every glance, a confession waiting to happen.
Then one reckless night changes everything.
A storm. A fight. A truth too heavy to carry.
And in a moment where anger collides with longing, they cross a line neither of them can uncross.
Weeks later, Amara discovers she is pregnant.
The child wasn't part of her revenge. It wasn't part of his plan either.
The pregnancy fractures their fragile truce. Khalil demands control. Amara demands freedom. But as the past begins to unravel, buried secrets rise to the surface-secrets that threaten to expose that Khalil may not have destroyed her family after all.
What if he was protecting her?
What if the real enemy is someone much closer?
As Amara digs deeper, she uncovers a betrayal that ties their families together in ways neither of them imagined. The arrest. The scandal. The marriage proposal. None of it was coincidence.
And the truth could cost more than their pride-it could cost their child.
Now Amara must choose: finish the revenge she started or fight beside the man she was meant to hate.
But love born in deception is fragile. Trust built on secrets is dangerous.
And when the final twist reveals who orchestrated the fall of her family-and why Khalil chose to marry her-their marriage becomes more than a contract.
It becomes survival.

He was powerful.
He was terrifying.
He was huge.
He had the whole world under his feet, the whole world within his grasp-but to him, she was his world, she meant everything. He was feared by all, but it only mattered that she was scared of him.
He was worshipped by billions, yet he worshipped the very ground she walked on.
His calloused hands were capable of ripping people apart, yet they only held her with tenderness and possessiveness.
His claws ripped out throats, yet they only extended towards her to play with her curls.
"For there will be one born from chaos, forged from the ruins and the ashes of the ages. He will be the chosen one, the one to host the darkness. He will be engraved with the lines of the goddesses' touch and the fates will bow to him. But he will be the one to bring forth the carnage, that will end the world's that began under his feet. His light, her darkness. Every darkness needs a light but his will be lost in the times. Betrothed to the darkness, one with it. The cycle will go on till the darkness finds the light, to be one eclipse. For at the end, blood will flow."

But fate is cruel.
Drawn together by an undeniable pull, their union sparks more than passion-it ignites war. Enemies rise, secrets unravel, and betrayal lurks where trust should be. As the kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, she becomes both his greatest weakness... and his only salvation.
