-Alex’s POV-
My gaze locked onto him, unwavering. It felt like an eternity, my vision boring into his. Years of pent– up questions swirled within me, a relentless storm demanding answers. Why? Why did he have to take her away? There was no justification, no explana
I stood there, the weight of that moment heavy on my shoulders. The urge to end his pathetic existence was a tangible presence, a tempting whisper in the back of my mind. Death, however, felt like a kindness he didn’t deserve. He needed to suffer, to drown in the guilt of his
actions.
With a final, steely glance, I turned on my heel and walked away. Silence followed in my wake, a deafening echo of the hollowness within me. He was dead to me in that moment, his existence erased from my co
The world blurred into a kaleidoscope of colors as I drove, my mind a chaotic mess. There was no destination in sight, only the desperate need to escap
Stepping out of the car, a strange stillness hung in the air. Every head in the vicinity swiveled towards me, a silent symphony of surprised murmurs. The
Without a word, I pushed past her and stormed into Daniel’s office. He sat behind his expansive desk, his big frame filling the space with an air of arroga across his
face.
“Well, well,” he drawled, his voice laced with amusement. “To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit?”
Lignored the barb in his tone, the mockery dripping from his every word. “This,” I spat, my voice tight with barely contained fury, “this war between us. It needs to end,”
He raised an eyebrow, the smirk on his face widening further. “Is that so?” he chuckled, a humorless sound, “And what makes you say that
now?”
I took a step forward, my voice a low growl. “Whatever it takes,” I pressed, my words clipped. “Tell me what it will take to end this bloodshed. Because I’m
A harsh laugh erupted from his throat, a hollow sound devoid of any genuine humor. “Finally decided you’re weak, have you? Come crawling back to grovel?”
My wolf snarled, a surge of primal rage threatening to break through the fragile control I held. But I forced myself to remain calm, to push down the urge
We locked eyes, a silent battle of wills unfolding. The tension in the room crackled, thick enough to cut with a knife. My mind wandered, a memory from m
anger.
It was him. He had been the source of all my problems from the very beginning. If he had just allowed me a normal childhood, the unconditional love of m side, I wouldn’t be this way. Trust wouldn’t be a foreign concept, a constant battle fought within
myself. Amaya wouldn’t be gone, my relationship with Adrian wouldn’t be fractured beyond repair.
I saw it all with a horrifying clarity.
I was the reason everything had fallen apart. And while the truth was a bitter pill to swallow, I couldn’t escape the fact that my father had been the puppe a power struggle.
The hatred for Daniel Stone burned as fiercely as ever. He and my father were two sides of the same coin, a horrifying thought that made me clench my
His voice snapped me out of my introspective spiral. “And what made you finally accept,” he drawled, the mockery dripping from his every word, “that yo
His words were like a slap in the face, irritation flaring hot within me. He wasn’t even listening, wasn’t processing what I was saying. All he cared about w
With a calculated exhale, I released the tension in my shoulders, the facade of barely contained fury replaced by a studied nonchalance. Glancing aroun looking bottles. A slow, deliberate smile played on my lips as I strolled towards it, the silence in the room thick with unspoken challerige.
He let out a low growl, the sound rumbling from his chest, but I ignored him completely. Reaching for the cabinet door, I swung it open, the clink of crystal against glass echoing in the tense atmosphere. My fingers brushed against a bottle of amber liquid, the label b
Perfect.
Picking up the bottle, I grabbed two crystal glasses from the shelf, their weight surprisingly light in my hand. As I turned back towards him, I could practic

I feigned nonchalance again, raising my eyebrows in mock surprise. “Just getting us a drink,” I replied, my voice dripping with a feigned casualness. Rea
“You know,” I continued, my voice a low murmur as I filled the glass to the brim, “you and I have never actually shared a drink. Seems strange, consideri
A beat of silence followed my words, heavy and thick. Then, with a flourish, I pushed the glass across the polished surface of the desk, stopping just bef
He let out another growl, this time louder, more guttural. His eyes blazed with anger, his entire body a coiled spring ready to pounce. “You have three seconds,” he hissed, “to drop that glass and get the hell out of my office.”
“Three seconds,” he repeated, his voice a low growl that sent shivers down my spine despite my best efforts to appear unaffected. He leaned forward, hi me, the air thick with the unspoken threat of violence.“One.”
I took a nonchalant sip of the amber liquid, the smooth burn spreading across my tongue, “Seems a little short on time, wouldn’t you say?“! countered, my voice light and breezy, considering the complexity of the situation we find ourselves in.
