Chapter 177 THIRD PERSON’S POV The atmosphere inside Damien’s office was calm, but there was tension too. Damien sat behind his desk. Marco was seated across from him. There was silence in the room for a while. The room was filled with two dominant wolves who weren’t willing to submit

Chapter 176 SOPHIA’S POV The moment I got Patricia into the car, my wolf finally calmed a little, but not completely. She was still pacing inside me, restless and alert, like she hadn’t finished protecting what was mine. Patricia leaned heavily against me. Her body was weak and unsteady. Her

Chapter 175 SOPHIA’S POV The hospital corridor still felt cold when I stepped out of the elevator, but the tension in my chest hadn’t gone away. I had just left George’s room, and everything that happened in there kept replaying in my mind – The way he had forced my

Chapter 174 SOPHIA’S POV Lance caught me at the hospital entrance at six forty-five. He was coming from the research wing. He had his keys in his hand, clearly heading out for the evening. When he saw me near the main doors he walked towards me. “Good timing,” he said.

Chapter 173 SOPHIA’S POV Zade paused at the door. Leaving through the front door felt ironic to him. He had usually come into Sophia’s house through the window, leaving the same way. This time felt different. He turned around. Sophia was standing in front of him. The whole house was

Chapter 172 ZADE’S POV I heard it from two different contacts before noon. Damien Stone had gone to Sophia’s hospital. He’d waited outside her office like a man with something to deliver, had handed her a folder, had spoken to her in the corridor. My contacts didn’t know what was

Chapter 171 SOPHIA’S POV I threw myself into work. My first patient came in at nine. I sat with her for forty minutes, listening properly, asking the questions that were necessary. When I sent her out with a treatment plan, she paused at the door and said, “Thank you, Doctor.

Chapter 170 SOPHIA’S POV We were still talking when we turned the corner toward my office. Lance was mid-sentence, saying something about a research paper he had reviewed the night before, and I was listening with half my attention. Then I saw him. Damien was standing outside my office door.

Chapter 169 SOPHIA’S POV I called Bianca before I had even finished my tea. She picked up on the third ring “Hi Sophia p> “How are you this morning?” I asked first, because that came before anything else. I heard her exhale. “Better. I slept eventually. I also checked the

Chapter 168 SOPHIA’S POV It was way past one in the morning when I finally got to my room. I didn’t turn on the main light. I moved through the dark by memory. This house was the one I had grown up in. I knew these floors totally now. I

Chapter 167 SOPHIA’S POV Bianca’s apartment was warm. That was the first thing I noticed when we stepped inside. The space was lovely and neat as usual. Her kitchen counter had three different filming setups stacked neatly to one side. There were recipe cards spread across the table, a half-edited

Chapter 166 SOPHIA’S POV We saw him before we even parked. Marcel was standing on the pavement directly below Bianca’s building. His phone was pressed to his ear. Even from inside the moving car I could hear him. With my wolf hearing, I could tell he was talking to a

Chapter 165 SOPHIA’S POV Zade looked at me with those intense eyes of his. His eyes were completely dark now, meaning his wolf had partly taken over. My heart rate increased under his intense gaze. If I was being honest, I hated how much his presence affected me. “He grabbed

Chapter 164 SOPHIA’S POV The sitting room felt like a cage. I sat on the far end of the sofa. I badly wanted to leave. George sat between us. He kept glancing from Damien to Tiffany, then back again. “Talk,” he said again. “Both of you. You’re wolves, not pups.

Chapter 163 SOPHIA’S POV I had barely taken three steps toward the door when his hand closed around my arm. His fingers locked around my right arm, directly over the injury. I winced in pain. I stopped. “Let go,” I said. Damien didn’t let go. He turned me toward him.

Chapter 162 SOPHIA’S POV I got out of the car, walked to the front door and knocked. Amaya answered quickly. She looked at me with a shocked expression. She bowed her head “Miss Sophia. Please come in. Sir. George is in the sitting room. He asked me to bring you

Chapter 161 SOPHIA’S POV The afternoon was kinder than the morning had been. The cases were straightforward. I had a follow-up consultation, two routine check-ins, a young wolf who had shifted too aggressively during training and strained the muscles along his ribcage. By the time I sat down at my

Chapter 160 SOPHIA’S POV That day, I kept working. The morning passed as I did patient rounds and consultations. By lunchtime, my stomach was growling loudly enough that a patient actually laughed and told me to go eat. I headed toward the cafeteria. As I walked, my mind was already

Chapter 159 SOPHIA’S POV I didn’t sleep until almost four in the morning. When I finally did, it was the shallow, restless kind – the kind that left you more tired than before. I woke up twice. The second time I just laid still for a long while. When morning

Chapter 158 SOPHIA’S POV Sky Manor was lit up when I pulled into the driveway. Every downstairs light was on. I sat in the car for a moment just looking at it. I was so tired. My arm ached with every heartbeat. My eyes felt like they had sand behind
