Chapter 12 -Maya’s POV- My silence hung heavy in the air, thicker than the city mist clinging to the car windows. Ivan finally broke it, his voice laced with an apology I wasn’t ready to accept. “You are upset with me,” he stated, the obviousness grating on my already raw nerves. I swivelled towards him, my glare hot enough to melt the ice currently residing in my veins growing every second from the encounter with Alex. “My relationship with Miranda… it’s complicated,” he offered, his voice trailing off like an unfinished sentence. But complications meant nothing to me in that moment. My hurt, a gaping wound, demanded clarity, not excuses. “Does this complication make you SCARED of her?” I spat, each word laced with venom. “Because you just puppet on her strings. I don’t even know her, so what is her problem with me?!” sat there and let her make jabs at me, like a My voice escalated, mirroring the turmoil within. The frustration of the encounter with Miranda, the sting of Alex’s reappearance, all converged into a torrent aimed at Ivan. He flinched at the force of my outburst, but it did little to get rid of the firestorm. He sighed, a weary sound that spoke volumes. “It’s not you,” he began, attempting to soothe the tempest. “Miranda is like that with everyone. She thrives on feeling superior, tearing down those around her to build herself up. I’m sorry she ruined our dinner. But his apology rang hollow. “She didn’t ruin the dinner, Ivan,” I snarled, my wolf straining at the leash, baring her fangs at the perceived weakness. “You did.” The accusation hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the soft hum of the engine. His eyes widened, surprise battling with hurt. But it was the hurt that stung, a flicker of vulnerability exposing the truth beneath his carefully constructed facade, My wolf whined, urging me forward, demanding answers. Yet, a sliver of reason held me back. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm the storm within. The questions wouldn’t disappear, but the accusations wouldn’t get us anywhere. I needed a different approach. “Tell me the truth, Ivan,” I said, my voice softer now, but no less determined. “Why did you let her treat me like that? Why the silence when I needed you? We are going to be married and you said you didn’t want it to be on my father’s terms but I need to know that I can count on you when I need to.” Silence stretched between us, taut and heavy. But this time, it wasn’t suffocating. It was filled with anticipation, a shared space where secrets might finally be unveiled. “Do you think I am so weak and I cannot handle what it is? Is that why you went to my father to marry me out of all the options you could have had…. Because you think I am so weak and go with whatever I’m told?,” I stated, the accusation hanging heavy in the stagnant air of the car. It wasn’t a question, but a realization that hit me like a sucker punch. Ivan flinched, the hurt in his eyes deepening. “That is not true. I don’t think you are weak and it’s not that simple,” he muttered, his voice tight “Then make it simple,” I snapped, my wolf straining at the leash, her claws scraping against the metaphorical cage of my control. “Because right now, all I see is you letting your sister walk all over me, silence strung like pearls around your neck.” He sighed, a deep, frustrated sound. “Miranda and I…we have a history,” he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. “A complicated one, filled with….baggage not like regular siblings. She is like a ticking bomb and I try everything to make sure she doesn’t go off… Everything not to accelerate the seconds.” My anger simmered, laced with a flicker of curiosity. “What kind of baggage?” I pressed, needing to understand the invisible strings that bound him. He hesitated, his gaze fixed on the passing cityscape, a million unsaid words battling for release. Finally, he spoke, his voice laced with pain. “Our parents were killed right in front of us. She was five years and…” 12:00 Thu, 20 Jun M Chapter 12 His words resonated deep within me, striking a chord of empathy. “How old were you?” I whispered. Seven.” 号:84%1 I felt all the anger disappear in seconds, “I am really sorry, I cannot imagine what that coud have been like or for her. You had your childhood stripped. away from you but still that doesn’t give Miranda the right to treat people like that.” “I know,” he said, his voice thick with regret. “And I apologize. Truly. But Miranda… she’s fragile, and right now, especially vulnerable. After they died, it was the two of us against the world and then things changed when we were old enough to start dating. She is really possessive of me. Seeing you with me… It triggered something in her.” “Seeing me with you? You make it sound like I’m some kind of trophy or maybe you are the trophy,” I scoffed, the hurt bubbling to the surface. “No,” his hand reaching out to grip mine, but I instinctively pulled away. “it’s not like that. You… you represent something new, something good in my life. And Miranda… she doesn’t like change. She fears losing the only constant she has left. It has always been like that. She can date but I can’t. Now that I am marrying, she made it clear that she is upset She has always been like that.” His words resonated within me, painting a picture of a fractured relationship, of loyalty twisted by loss and fear, My anger softened, replaced by a sliver of sympathy “You can’t let her fear dictate your actions, Ivan,” I said, my voice gentler now. “You have to stand up for yourself, for me.” He met my gaze, his eyes searching mine. “I will,” he vowed, his voice firming with resolve. “But it won’t be easy. Miranda…she can be ruthless.” “Then let’s be ruthless together,” I challenged, a spark igniting in my chest. “We face this, whatever it is, head–on. As equals, not puppets to someone else’s drama.” He smiled, a flicker of hope lighting up his features. “As equals,” he echoed, squeezing my hand gently. The streetlamps reflected in his hopeful smile, casting dancing shadows on his determined face. His hand lingered in mine, the silent agreement warming my skin. Suddenly, he brought the car to a halt, the tires squealing against the asphalt Ivan… What are you-” i began, confusion tugging at my brows. But a thrill, unexpected and exhilarating, fluttered in my chest. He didn’t wait for my question, stepping out and pulling me along with him. “Doing things on our terms,” he stated, his voice firm despite the tremor in his hand. “Equals, remember?” … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 12” »
Chapter 11 -Alex’s POV- -Seven Years Agon The phone clattered down on the polished mahogany desk, the sharp crack echoing through the office. I slammed my list onto the armrest, the growl already rising in my throat, raw and primal. “What did Daniel Stone do this time?” Adrian drawled, sauntering in with the unruffled case that always grated on me in these moments. I threw him a glare, the fury simmering beneath the surface. “Trying to bait me out again, the pompous ass. It’s getting hard to ignore,” I admitted, the growl escaping this time, low and guttural. I could feel it, my wolf stirring within, claws scraping against the confines of my control. Daniel Stone, the Alpha of a rival pack had always enjoyed pushing my buttons, and lately, he’d taken it to a whole new level. “You know he is. Alex,” he said, his voice calm and steady, a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside me. “Don’t give him the satisfaction. Let it roll–off your back like you always do. He’ll get bored eventually, fighting a war with himself.” He had a point, damn him. Adrian, my right–hand man, confidante, and the only person who truly understood the beast I kept caged within. He was always the voice of reason, t the anchor in my ever–churning sea of emotion and he was right. Reacting was exactly what he wanted. I clenched my jaw, forcing the wolf back into the shadows. “Fine,” I conceded, the word grating like sandpaper on my raw nerves. “But he’s pushing it.” A ghost of a smile played on Adrian’s lips. “Then let’s drown the frustration before it takes control. Drinks? My treat. Consider it your reward for not turing Daniel Stone into an overpriced paperweight. Besides I could use that broodiness that women find attractive to land a few.” I shook my head, but the amusement flickered in “You my eyes. ou don’t need my help wooing women, Adrian.” “True,” he winked, “but hearing you say it never gets old. Now, brooding billionaire or charming billionaire? Your choice.” “It’s the middle of the day, Adrian,” I protested, knowing it was futile. “And?” he countered with a shrug. “If the boss has a problem with my work hours then he should go ahead and fire me.” “One of these days, I will,” I muttered, but a grin tugged at my lips. He knew it was an empty threat. The club throbbed with the usual Friday night energy. Bodies pulsed on the dance floor, fueled by alcohol and adrenaline. Women adorned in glitter and jewels fluttered around like exotic butterflies, while men, fueled by ego and bravado, tried to outdo each other with displays of wealth and charm. The usual scene. And yet, the moment I stepped into the VIP section, the world seemed to tilt amidst the kaleidoscope of color and movement, my eyes locked onto her. its axis. The music muted, the chatter dimmed, and Her hair, the color of burnished copper, cascaded down her back like a waterfall of fire. Her emerald eyes, sparkling with laughter, held the entire room captive. She moved with a grace that defied the chaos around her, drawing every gaze like a magnet. And then, our eyes met. Time stopped. The air crackled with an unseen energy. The words I was about to say evaporated. My wolf, ever–attuned to my emotions, let out a guttural growl, a primal recognition echoing through my soul. “Mate,” I breathed, the word raw and powerful, leaving no room for doubt. Her eyes widened, mirroring the shock in my own. 1/30 Chapter 11 有84% And then, it was gone. The connection, the intensity, all faded as quickly as it appeared. But the echo remained, a tremor in my c my soul. core, a brand seared into My eyes snapped open, the stark reality crashing down with the sting of a slap. The phantom pain of the brand throbbed on my shoulder, a constant reminder of what I knew would never fade. “Mex!” Miranda’s voice yanked me back to the present, laced with a tinge of annoyance. “You gonna park the car or what?” I turned towards her, imitation simmering beneath the surface. My jaw clenched, and she could probably feel the heat radiating off me. “What the hell was that about?” I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. Miranda, ever the master of playing dumb, blinked innocently. “What was what about?” she feigned confusion, tilting her head like a curious puppy. But I wasn’t buying it. “Don’t play coy with me,” I growled, my words laced with frustration. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.” She shrugged nonchalantly, the smile on her face not reaching her eyes. “Just trying to be friendly with my future sister–in–law, darling. Get to know her a little better.” “Did you just happen to “know” that Ivan made reservations here?” I shot back, skepticism dripping from my tone. She offered another shrug, feigning ignorance. “Maybe I overheard him talking about it? Who knows?” I scoffed, her act transparent as glass. “Miranda, stop playing games. It’s unbecoming.” Instead of backing down, she leaned back in her chair, a sly smile twisting her lips. “Oh, honey, I never get tired of playing games. Especially when I’m always two steps ahead.” Her words were like a lit match tossed into a pool of gasoline. My anger flared, fueled by her manipulative nature and veiled hostility towards Amaya. “Two steps ahead, huh?” I countered, my voice laced with icy calm, “Let’s see how far that gets you when everything comes crashing down.” The smug smile faltered for a fleeting moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her eyes. But it was quickly replaced by a defiant smirk. … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 11” »
Chapter 10 My world narrowed to the unwelcome sight of Alex’s cold state and Miranda’s glittering eyes, their silhouettes framed by the warm glow of the restaurant. “Fancy seeing you here,” Miranda purred, sashaying towards our table with an air of malicious triumph. I blinked, the blood in my veins. suddenly icy. Of all the restaurants in the city, they had to choose this onb7 Ivan felt the shift in the atmosphere, his gaze following mine. His frown mirrored my own, a deep furrow creasing his forehead, “Miranda,” he acknowledged curtly, his voice clipped. I wasn’t sure who he disliked, his sister or Alex. Miranda, oblivious to the tension she’d created, breezed closer, her voice dripping with sweetness. “Amaya, how lovely to finally meet you! The wedding chaos and pre–dinner frenzy kept us from properly connecting” She extended a manicured hand towards me, eyes glinting with a veiled challenge. “Miranda McCall, Ivan’s charming little sister, And this,” she announced with a theatrical flourish, “is Alex, my fiancé but I am sure you need no introduction.” The way she drew out “fiance” felt like a deliberate barb which was weird because she couldn’t possibly know about my marriage to him. My father had made sure to bury every connection we ever had, so I was but a shadow in Alex’s life. A once before. I forced a smile, plastering it onto my face like a poorly–fitting mask. Straightening my spine, I met her gaze with a chin held high. “It’s lovely to meet you both,” I said, my voice calm despite the storm raging within. “Why don’t you join us?” My invitation hung in the air, heavy with unspoken tension. Alex remained silent, his unreadable eyes fixed on me. Ivan frowned, a furrow creasing his brow, but stayed quiet. Miranda’s smile widened, a predatory gleam flashing in her eyes. “Oh, wouldn’t want to intrude on your cozy little date night,” she drawled, dragging out the last word with exaggerated emphasis. “Besides, Alex and I would have made reservations elsewhere if we had known.” The lie was transparent but none of us said anything “Nonsense,” Ivan countered finally speaking, his voice low and firm. “There’s plenty of space. Pull up a chair.” Alex stepped forward, his face unreadable, an impassive mask, “We will go somewhere else,” he said, his voice a rough scrape. I met his gaze, a silent challenge sparking between us. The past, with its tangled threads of love and betrayal, hung heavy in the air. But this wasn’t then. This was now, and I was no longer the fragile girl he’d left behind. “It’s fine,” I said, my voice steady despite the tremor in my heart. “The more the merrier, right?” Miranda’s smile faltered for a flicker, replaced by a flash of annoyance. She shot me a glare, venom masked by a tight smile. “As you wish, darling.” “So, Amaya,” Miranda chirped, her voice dripping with feigned sweetness after they settled in. “Tell me all about what you think of married life. Must be quite different from your past, wouldn’t you say?” I took a deep breath, refusing to give her the satisfaction of whatever she was fishing for. “It certainly will be an adjustment,” I replied, keeping my voice neutral. “But Ivan and I are learning to navigate our new roles.” Ivan shot me a grateful glance, a silent reassurance that he stood by me, something I didn’t quite understand. The conversation, if it could be called that, flowed like molasses. Miranda peppered me with thinly veiled insults, each one met with a calm, measured response. Alex remained mostly silent, his brooding presence a constant storm cloud casting shadows over the table. I didn’t know what her problem was. We had never met before this but I knew everything she was doing was to bait me, it wouldn’t work. My wolf stirred feeling Alex’s presence but at the same time, she wanted nothing more than to claw out Miranda’s eye. Chapter 10 :85%會 A thought that brought a smile to my face. I could feel Ivan’s concern, his hand brushing mine under the table in a silent gesture of support. The touch was electric, sending a jolt of nervous energy through me yet I wondered still Why wasn’t he saying anything? The meal dragged ea, each mouthful a tasteless chore. Finally, I couldn’t bear the suffocating atmosphere any longer. “Excuse me,” I announced, pushing back my chai. “I think I need some fresh air! Ivan rose immediately, his worried gaze locked on mine. “I’ll come with you,” he said, his voice tight. Before I could respond, Miranda interjected, her voice sharp with suspicion. “I’m sure Amaya can handle a little stroll on her own. Don’t want to interrupt your precious alone time, do we?” I gritted my teeth, refusing to let her goad me. Turning to ivan, I met his gaze. “I’ll be back in a moment,” I said, forcing a smile. “I promise I won’t take long.” With a last defiant glance at the table, I stepped out into the cool night air. The star–strewn sky felt like a balm on my soul, the crisp air cleansing the acrid taste of Miranda’s venom from my tongue. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes, letting the silence wash over me. This wasn’t the end, I realized. This was just the beginning of something I didn’t quite understand, Glancing back at the entrance, it stared back at me like a mocking eye, but my feet refused to budge. Whatever Ivan’s silent game with Miranda was, i didn’t want to be part of it. The suffocating tension inside, coupled with the unexpected encounter with Alex, had left me raw. I needed air, any air, so instead of going into the restaurant, I opted for the cool bite of the rooftop. As I stepped out, the city lights sprawled beneath me like a glittering jewel box, momentarily distracting me from the turmoil within. Taking a deep breath, I let the crisp air fill my lungs. But the moon goddess, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor. Because silhouetted against the pale light at the rooftop’s edge stood Alex. My heart threatened to leap out of my chest, but I held it down, refusing to let him dictate my rhythm. His back was to me, but the tension radiating from him was impossible to ignore.. “What are you doing up here?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper against the wind. He didn’t turn, but his shoulders clenched subtly. “The same thing you are doing,” he replied coldly. His tone cut through me like a winter wind. It was the same tone he’d used four years ago, the day he walked away, leaving me a shattered shell of the woman I once was. Now, it filled me with a familiar rage, a primal growl trapped in my throat. … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 10” »
Chapter 9 The air crackled around Ivan’s question, heavy with unspoken meaning. My mind instantly flashed to my father’s icy glare. It was tempting to spill the truth, to build our relationship on honesty. But fear, cold and sharp, whispered of lies. I shook my head, keeping my voice level “Nothing. Just the usual pack rivalry stuff. Why do you ask?” He studied me for a moment, then his smile returned, quick and easy. “No reason, really. Just trying to keep my ear to the ground, you know? Lots of chatter going around. Heard something about trouble at the new elite club and I heard Alex was involved and you were there. Wanted to make sure you were okay.” The truth prickled on my tongue, but before I could speak, he cut me off, His hand, warm and gentle, cupped my cheek. “Easy there, no need to explain. I’m not some controlling brute. You’re free to come and go as you please. Just wanted to check.” Relief washed over me, mingling with a pang of guilt. I forced a smile and nodded. “Thank you. Maybe next time we can go together.” His eyes crinkled at the corners. “I’d like that, Amaya.” The tension eased, replaced by a cautious hope. This was fragile, this trust he extended, and I wouldn’t risk shattering it with lies. The future stretched before us, uncertain but full of possibilities. And for now, just for now, the simple truth of his presence felt like enough. Look His touch lingered on my cheek, the warmth seeping into me, melting away the residual chill of fear. It felt safe. Unfamiliar, but safe. He took a step back gesturing for them to sit, his smile still in place. “This is something I should have done even before the wedding. I want to know you, tell me about yourself, Amaya. Really. Not the wife Daniel wants me to see, not the Luna everyone expects you to be. Tell me about you.” His request struck a chord, a long–dormant longing for connection. For the last four years, I’d been molded into something I wasn’t, expected to follow scripts written by others. But Ivan’s eyes, open and curious, held a promise of acceptance, of seeing me beyond the layers. Hesitantly, I began. “I love to paint,” I admitted, surprised by the ease of the words. “Abstracts. Explosions of color, tangled lines that tell stories only I can see still paint?” Ivan’s face lit up with genuine interest. “That’s incredible. Do you st stung me. “No. Father…” I stopped, the words harsh and bitter van waited patiently, his eyes understanding. Shame stung I took a deep breath. “He never approved. Said it was a waste of time. As a future Luna, I should focus on more important things.” “Ivan! “Like being a trophy wife,” Ivan finished, his voice surprisingly cold. We stood in silence for a moment, the unspoken connecting us. Then, Ivan cleared his throat and offered a hesitant smile. “Well, I think painting’s important. And your father… well, let’s just say he isn’t the world’s best judge of character.” His lightheartedness warmed me. Maybe, just maybe, there was space for me to rediscover myself in this strange new life. “Maybe I’ll paint again,” I said, a small smile playing on my lips. His free eyes glimmered, reflecting the spark in my own. “I’d love to see it,” he said, his voice sincere. The click of the lock on the door echoed in the silence as a maid passed by, breaking the spell of our o and a frown creased his forehead. He pulled out his phone, glancing at the screen. conversation. Ivan froze, hand hallway to his pocket, 12:00 Thu, 20 Jun. Chapter 9 “Damn,” he muttered, his voice apologetic. “Looks like duty calls. Something came up at work.” 1 felt a pang of disappointment, the warmth of connection fading a little. “Oh. It’s okay,” I said, forcing a smile. “Work comes first, right?” He winced. “I’m so sorry, Amaya. Really. This wasn’t how I wanted the day to go.” 85%1 He walked towards the door, his stride hesitant. Then, he stopped, turning back to me with a hopeful spark in his eyes. “Listen, hot about you come with me? It’s just a quick stop, wouldn’t take long. And then… maybe we could grab some food, somewhere nice, get to know each other properly?” A thrill shot through me. An actual date, away from the watchful eyes of my father, with a man who wasn’t trying to control me. But I hesitated. “Where are you even going?” Ivan chuckled, a touch of awkwardness in his voice. “Work stuff, honestly. It’s not exactly glamorous, but hey, someone’s gotta make sure the gears keep. turning, right?” He extended his hand towards me, his smile disarming, “Come on, adventure awaits. Trust me, it’s more exciting than paint splatters and canvases, at least for the day.” I looked at his outstretched hand, then back at his face, his genuine enthusiasm infectious. My doubts melted away, replaced by a flicker of anticipation. Taking a deep breath, I placed my hand in his “Okay,” I said, surprising even myself. “Let’s see what kind of trouble your ‘work‘ gets us into.” We slipped out of the house, the coolness of the night air wrapping around us like a comforting cloak. Ivan kept a tight grip on my hand as we navigated the familiar, yet always oppressive, grounds of my childhood home. My heart thumped a nervous rhythm against my ribs, a mixture of excitement and apprehension bubbling within me. “Hey,” Ivan murmured, squeezing my hand gently. “Everything okay?” I offered him a shaky smile. “Just.. it’s been a een a while since I went out like this. You know, like a normal person.” He snorted, a deep, genuine laugh that sent a shiver down my … Read More “Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire by Neldia Chapter 9” »
