Chapter: Chapter 32Ares' POV“Are you okay?” Jackie asked as soon as I came out of the room. I wanted to stay back and peep. I wanted to see what he was doing to her. How he was treating her that made her want to be so close to him all of a sudden. “I'm fine,” I mumbled as I headed back to the party. Kyros and Luna were there already, socialising with other people. If I didn't know how they were, I would have blamed them for asking their son to do whatever he was doing now. After all, Luna was always overprotective of Violet. They both smiled at me and approached me without hesitation. “How are you enjoying the party?” Luna asked, smiling more than she usually did. “It's been going as well as it possibly could.” She nodded, taking a sip of the drink in her hand. “Any plans to make the pack more secure?” Kyros asked, and I nodded. I was lying. There wasn't really any plan in place. The first thing I wanted to do was recruit the soldiers. They were the front liners. There was no way we were going to

Chapter: Chapter 31Violet's POV I held my breath after I spoke. I wasn't planning on speaking. In fact, that was never the plan between Lynn and me. I looked over at her, and she didn't seem disappointed. Alpha Ares turned to look at me immediately. I didn't look away. I needed him to see that he actually hurt me. By hosting this party and not telling me anything about it. Ares did not look okay. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he missed a button. Something that hadn't happened since I had known him. I almost walked up to him and asked him what was wrong. I almost asked if he needed me to make any kind of soup for him. Lynn's hands were firmly in mine like she could read my thoughts. I locked eyes with her, and she shook her head. Every single person in the room was looking at me. I could tell that some of them recognised me from the last party. And for the ones that didn't, they were obviously getting the gist already. My eyes drifted down to the place where his hands were intertwined

Chapter: Chapter 30Ares' POVI woke up in bed alone. I didn't remember taking my clothes off. But I was naked underneath the sheets. My head was banging. Belladonna walked in at just the same time, like she had been waiting for me to wake up.There was an unreadable expression on her face. “Some lemon water, Alpha.” She wasn't calling me Ares. Was it that she didn't just want to rest me? Or had she finally backed away? It was possible that she had now found a new mate. I didn't want to take the water from her, but I seemed helpless. I took it from her, taking small sips. “What happened yesterday?” I asked, and she looked at me with a different kind of look. “I have no idea, Alpha. But I do remember that Jackie had just left the room.”“Jackie was here last night?” I found myself asking, and she shook her head. “You obviously had too much to drink. We would love you to come downstairs and pick the exact designs you would like us to use for the event.”I frowned. Colton was usually the one handling thin

Chapter: Chapter 29Violet's POVAdrian's lips touched mine softly. I felt my back start to fold, and I gently pushed him away. “I don't want this, Adrian,” I said, trying my best to smile. “I don't want to ruin the friendship that we have.” He could barely look at me. He was nodding his head and shaking it at the same time with his eyes firmly on my thighs. “We are not ruining anything,” he murmured softly. “Alpha Ares does not deserve you. And you know that. You don't have to be with an old man like him. I'm the future Alpha of my pack as well.”“You could be my actual Luna. And not Alpha Ares' fuck mate.” I wanted to be mad at him, but I wasn't. I turned my neck to the side for him to see. “I'm not his fuck buddy. Nor has he mated with me yet.”“That's because he knows how good and worthy you are. He knows what having you in the pack would do for him.”“If he knew, then he wouldn't have chased me away like that.” He bit his lip, not saying anything else, and I knew that I was right. His jaw was tens

Chapter: Chapter 28Ares' POVI hurried to the backyard, where the Delta was leading me. What the hell did he mean by the priestess being dead? She just told me that she was going to find the cure for Violet's sickness about an hour ago. How could she be dead? I refused to believe it. I was already making plans on how I was going to punish the Delta. He finally stopped right in front of a row of bushes, with his eyes wide as he looked back at me. I looked at what was in front of him. It was a body. The body had the exact same build as the priestess. And the body was wearing the same clothes that the priestess had on. Just that this body was headless.There was blood everywhere. “The priestess, Your Highness,” the Delta said in a shaky voice. I knew that they hadn't ever seen anything like that in the pack. It was new. To even me. The main question was how it happened. Did someone know that she was going to find the cure for Violet's sickness? Did that person kill her to prevent that? I looked at the D

Chapter: Chapter 27Violet's POVI stared at Colton as we got into the car. He had refused to tell me anything else. After telling me that every single person in the pack knew about my sores. He promised to tell me about it when I got into Kyros’ pack. “Are you finally going to tell me?” I asked, looking up at him. He ran his hands through his hair. “Can I drive at least?” he asked, and I shrugged. All I wanted was the information on who spread the information about my sores. He got into the car, exhaling from time to time. I was losing patience faster than I was letting on. “Can you just tell me everything already?”“Violet, I really do not want to hurt you. But since you are insisting, I should tell you.” I held my breath, waiting for him to tell me that it was Belladonna. I already swore that if it was, I was going to ask Colton to turn back, and I was going to tell Alpha Ares everything. And I wasn't going to relax until he actually hurt Belladonna. She was doing so much, and all of it was being

Chapter: Chapter 4Hazel’s POVMy eyes fluttered open, and I looked around, trying to figure out how I ended up in this room. "Ouch," I winced, sitting up and cradling my throbbing head. The pain was intense.As I scanned the quiet room again, I wondered where everyone had gone. I struggled to recall what happened the day before, but all I could remember was being on stage before everything went black. “Did Thalia really poison the wine?” I thought, my mind racing with questions. I grabbed my phone to check the time and realised I had been out for almost the whole day. Summoning my last bit of energy, I stood up and made my way downstairs. As I got closer, I overheard my father, my blood, saying awful things about me.“That useless girl has shamed this family; Thalia will always be better than her,” Alpha Dorian said. I fought back tears, but it was too hard. A lump formed in my throat as I descended the stairs.When they spotted me, everyone fell silent. My father stormed up to me in a rage and hit me

Chapter: Chapter 3Hazel’s POVIt was a maid who wanted to use the toilet. “Get out now,” Adrian yelled at the top of his voice. “I’m sorry,” the maid said before hurrying out."Did you just call me a slut?" I asked, my smile hiding my anger. "Just because I have feelings for you doesn't mean you can call me names Adrian," I said, my voice low and even. I gripped my gown, my hands shaking with anger. I wanted to hit him very hard just so he could feel the slightest pain I felt in that prison, but I couldn’t.I wanted to be in the arms of my mate, telling him how I suffered in prison even after my miscarriage, but he didn’t even care that we had a child together; it was really heartbreaking."It’s Thalia's day. Just remember to behave and don't cause trouble. Thalia is nothing like you." My heart sank at his words. To Adrian, Thalia was a precious treasure, while I was worthless, not even good enough to be his Luna. I smiled again, fed up with his words; I cleaned the tears that dropped from my eyes. A

Chapter: Chapter 2Hazel’s POVTears streamed down my face as I realized the truth. Thalia had not only framed me for trying to kill her but had also taken my company and my mate. I was sent away when I was just 7 after my father got remarried, and then I returned later.At first, my father was happy and wanted to make up for lost time. But Thalia started to ruin everything for me. Little by little, she pushed me away. By the time I turned 22, Thalia had told so many lies that everyone believed her. Thalia accused me of trying to kill her because of Adrian. No one listened to my side of the story. They sent me to jail without a second thought. They never believed me—not even once! My fiancé even turned against me, calling me guilty. I staggered back, feeling as if I had been hit in the stomach. How could my father betray me like this again? How could Adrian forget our special day and celebrate with Thalia instead? Just then, I realized Adrian had seen me, so I rushed out of the hall, tears streaming

Chapter: Chapter 1Hazel’s POV“Happy anniversary to me,” I whispered, staring at the grey sky and drizzled rain, reflecting my sorrowful mood as I stood at the prison gates, burdened by lost dreams. My legs trembled as I stepped away from the gate, trying to find a place to sit, but the laughter of the other inmates stopped me. "Hey dirt, thirty minutes isn't enough. Stand for another!" The head lady sneered, her voice sharp and cruel. My throat tightened as I fought back the tears.I had been ordered to stand for thirty minutes just because I dozed off while she asked me to wash her clothes. I pressed a hand to my abdomen, where the pain throbbed like a drum. I had a miscarriage due to the continuous torture I received and wasn’t even treated properly. Each breath felt heavy, and I struggled to keep my composure.With a soft hiss, I stood there, trembling, while the cruel laughter echoed around me. I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing to disappear, to escape the mocking faces that surrounded me.Just t
