Alisha’s POVAfter Archie left the dining room, I couldn't help but worry about how he might be feeling after eating the garlic sausage for the first time. Although I wanted to see him suffer a bit, I didn't want him to have any problems due to the garlic's scent at Shaunda's house. I had initially planned to check on him by myself.However, it was Louie who mentioned his intention to find Archie to have a chat, which allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief. With Louie heading his way, there was no need for me to worry about the possibility of Archie fainting from the overpowering garlic odor. Surprisingly, neither of them returned to the dining room even after the sumptuous meal was over. Shaunda appeared unperturbed by their absence, and she even added a playful wink in my direction. Through the ever-efficient butler, Samuel, she conveyed a message: "Don't be concerned; boys occasionally require a bit of private space." After finish

Alisha’s POVI could distinctly sense the warmth seeping out of my body, carried away by my own lifeblood. My vision gradually dimmed, and my breath grew fainter with each passing moment. A critical realization loomed: my only chance at survival lay in revealing Shaunda's location, leading these hostile people onto the estate. Yet, I wouldn't allow myself to utter any word."You bitch, if you refuse to speak now, you'll never speak again," the man warned, venom lacing his voice. But I remained resolute, unwilling to betray Shaunda.My silence seemed to enrage the man further. He ruthlessly drove my face into the gritty sand, his foot grinding down on the wound at my neck. "I had intended to show mercy, but it appears you have decided to choose a different path."Blood loss had stolen my consciousness away, numbing even the agony of my neck. It felt as though I was descending into a realm of unending darkness, a world devoid of sound and light. I knew I shou

Gray’s POVI had barely made it outside the villa when an earth-shattering bolt of lightning split the night sky in the distance. Its brilliant flash turned the sea into a radiant spectacle, as if the sun itself had been thrust into the midnight depths. The ocean surged and bellowed, its waves churning like molten magma. Thunder rumbled, and lightning lacerated the darkness. In the direction of the coast, it appeared as though the world had been engulfed in a tempest of thunder and lightning. I knew this must be Archie’s Gift. Even from my vantage point, at this considerable distance, the sheer force of Archie's presence was palpable, an overwhelming power that seemed intent on destroying everything and sending all who stood on that beach to the depths of hell.Witnessing this ominous display, I understood that a grave crisis was unfolding, and I sprinted toward the shore.As I drew nearer to the coastline, I was hit by a harsh, acrid odor. Lifeless bodies lay strewn across the sand,

Alisha's POVI felt like I was in a black dream, struggling to open my eyes and wake up, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break free from the dream.I felt lonely and uneasy, and then, in the darkness, I saw a beam of light. I rushed towards the light with all my might, and at the end of the light, I unexpectedly saw my grandmother, Magaly. Her silver hair seemed to shimmer in the light, and her eyes radiated warmth. With a tender smile, she welcomed me into her arms. "Let me see my little princess!"I plunged into Magaly's arms, holding her tightly. "Grandma, I miss you so much!" I had so many things I wanted to tell her, and tears welled up uncontrollably.Magaly's hand caressed my back in soothing strokes. "Good girl, I have always been with you, watching over, and I know you're doing great! But now, you must continue your journey. We will see each other again, I promise."Reluctantly, I lifted my tearful gaze from her and questioned the cryptic nature of her words. "Why

Alisha's POVEvita's revelation left me utterly stunned. I hadn't imagined that the attack on the island had any connection to Evita. It was clear she wasn't the sole person with a vendetta against me, and that was deeply unsettling.Suppressing my anger, I inquired, "Does Joey know about this? Attacking the Golden Crest's members, especially its Luna, is tantamount to declaring war on the Golden Crest. This will plunge the Black Furies into the abyss of destruction, and no one can withstand Archie's fury as the Alpha."Evita laughed mockingly, "Hahaha, without my father's approval, how could I have successfully tricked you into coming back here? Don't worry; once you are gone, this secret will be buried with you. Archie will marry me, and I will l become the new Luna of the Golden Crest, forging the strongest alliance between the Black Furies and the Golden Crest!"I hadn't expected that Joey and Evita would join forces, using Magaly as a pretext to deceive me into returning. I gazed
