CHAPTER SIXTY ONE

ROXANNE

The next day came, faster than expected and I was more than grateful for daylight. I had given myself jumpscared all through the night, with multiple imaginations. Every sound made me alert. I had no idea if Ryker came back to his bedroom because he wasn't at my side and the empty feeling gnawed at me.

Forcing myself out of bed, I pulled on my dress and draped a shawl around my shoulder. My eyes were swollen from crying but they didn't hurt. I guess the ice worked after all.

I walked to my room, which was still under investigation. Ryker wasn't there, but his Beta, Miles, was.

"Lady Roxanne, they need to ask you some questions," Beta Miles said gently, his eyes filled with concern. "But you don’t have to answer if you don’t feel up to it.”

"I can't say a word without Ryker," I replied, looking around for any sign of him. The room felt cold and uninviting without him.

"He's out investigating some things," Miles explained, his voice calm but serious.

    CHAPTER SIXTY TWORYKER I was woken up by a knock at my door early in the morning. Careful not to wake Roxanne, who was still asleep beside me, I slipped out of bed and padded softly to the door. My Beta, Miles, stood there, his expression serious but tinged with excitement."The murderer has been found, Alpha. We have evidence," Miles announced quietly.Relief and excitement surged through me. "Tell the officials I'll be down shortly. I need to get dressed.”As Miles nodded and left, I turned back to the bed, gently shaking Roxanne's shoulder. "Roxanne, wake up. They've found the murderer," I said softly.Her eyes fluttered open, and she rubbed them groggily. "What? Are you serious?" she mumbled, still half-asleep."It looks like they have solid evidence. Get dressed; we need to go downstairs," I urged.Her eyes widened as the news sank in. Her heart leapt for joy at the thought of finally seeing the person who had ruined her life and brought misfortune to the pack. Anger flared in

    CHAPTER SIXTY THREERYKERFabiola looked uneasy at my question. She took a deep breath and began to explain, "I was busy with work that day when Kara brought the letter to me. She said she needed me to give it to Roxanne."I leaned forward, my eyes narrowing. "And why couldn't Kara give the letter to Roxanne herself?"Fabiola sighed deeply, struggling to keep her composure. "Kara said she had been prohibited from seeing Roxanne since everyone thought she tried to poison her.”I nodded, urging her to continue. Her eyes filled with unshed tears as she spoke. "I asked Kara who I should say the letter was from, and she told me to say it was from you, Alpha."I felt a flash of anger. "This isn't the first time Kara has used my name, is it?"Fabiola looked terrified, as if she feared retribution for speaking the truth. "No, Alpha. It’s not. When Kara was alive, she used to sneak around and collect parcels, hiding them under her bed. This went on for a year. One day, I confronted her about i

    CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR ROXANNEAs I stepped out of the dungeon and into the fresh air, the weight of the past days still clung to me. Ryker had filled me in on what had transpired, and although I was grateful to be released, there was something about his story that seemed off. Kara’s words echoed in my mind, mingling with the sorrow of her fate. She had suffered so much to protect me, and it pained me every time I thought about it. What bothered me was the part where someone shows up looking like me. Something about it just wasn't right.Who could be impersonating me?Ryker placed a reassuring hand on my back. “Get some rest, Roxanne. I’ll keep a close eye on Selina and Fabiola. I still don’t trust them.”I nodded, though the theories swirling around us made little sense. New evidence kept surfacing, each piece more baffling than the last. The officials were confused, and so was I.Ryker sighed, a heavy sound that seemed to carry the weight of his responsibilities. “I’m organising an eve

    CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEROXANNE The world around me dissolved into silence, a vacuum of sound as if everyone had vanished. I felt the connection– The woman in the picture exerted a magnetic pull, drawing me into her world with an undeniable force. I couldn't resist her call.Her dominance was palpable.I traced my fingers along the frame's edge. Why was this picture hidden away? I wondered. Why did she feel so familiar? Tearing my eyes from her face, I focused on the envelope in front of the picture.I felt like a snoop but with trembling hands, I picked it up. My heart pounded loudly as I opened it and anxiety wrapped me like a suffocating presence. Inside was a letter. I unfolded it and read:To lilith,From a faraway land. I'm someone you don't need to know…And there was nothing else but the final words seemed scrawled in desperation, ink smudged and splattered.Lilith,” I whispered, the name resonating deep within me. Who was Lilith? Was she the woman in the picture? Was Ryker’s moth

She glared at the book as if trying to understand my words. “A curse?” “Yes,” I said and continued. “My mother would scream and say things we couldn't understand and we began to wonder who Lilith was. That name had haunted me and Selina from that day till date. Sometimes she would enter a trace and wouldn't snap from it for about a day or two. Then gossip began to go around that Luna was insane.My father became embarrassed and so did we. We could be in an important meeting and my mother will just start screaming and trying to fight off things we couldn't see. She wasn't herself anymore. Most times she would stare at us without blinking or uttering a word and it was becoming scary. People were terrified of her and …” I stopped again to take quick breaths.Roxanne squeezed my hand. “You don't have to continue.”“No, Roxanne,” I said. “I have to make you understand things you don't.”She swallowed and sa

    CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN ROXANNE I was stupefied, staring at Ryker in utter confusion. Anger, sadness, and pain engulfed me as I tried to understand what was going on, but I couldn't make sense of it. Ryker was my mate? How? Memories flooded back—how he lashed out at me when we first met, telling me I had no wolf. Subconsciously, I touched my neck. Was that why he kept touching it, searching for my wolf mark? Was that why he brought me to the Red Moon pack? It dawned on me then—I had just been rejected.Since I had no wolf, I couldn't feel the mate bond or the pain of rejection. But Ryker could. He groaned in agony, placing a hand on his chest. Selina squealed in delight, clapping her hands together."Finally, I won't have a mentally deranged woman for a sister-in-law," she jeered.Anguish washed over me. This was Selina's endgame. She had set me up so I would be rejected and chased away. But I didn't utter a word. Instead, I turned to Ryker."If that's the situation, why didn't you tel

My heart slowed, each beat fainter than the last, ticking away my final moments.As the cold seeped into my bones, I thought about when I was thirteen.

    EPILOGUE (THE END)ROXANNE A YEAR LATER.It’s shocking how a year has passed, yet the souls of the dead remain with us, their memories fresh and haunting. The pain, the struggles, the healing—none of it has come easy. Losing someone you knew is like losing a part of yourself. It leaves a hole in your life, a constant ache that never truly fades. Each day feels like a battle to keep your sanity, to remember who you are without them.I walked slowly, each step heavy with sorrow, to the graves of Lilith and Kara. The ground was soft beneath my feet, the scent of damp earth mingling with the fresh aroma of the carnations and lilies I carried. After much contemplation, we decided to bury Lilith in Red Moon, beside her dead mate. Tears slipped down my cheeks, but I brushed them away quickly. Ryker mustn't see me cry.As I laid the flowers on the graves, memories of Lilith’s fierce spirit and Kara’s gentle smile flooded my mind. The pain of their loss was still raw, a wound that had not yet

    CHAPTER SEVENTY FOURROXANNE Anger boiled inside me, hot and relentless. I didn’t like Lilith, but she was still my sister. War had been declared, and now swords clashed against swords, claws ripped into flesh. The three packs—White Moon and Red Moon—united against Blue Moon, turning the battlefield into a bloody nightmare.I watched as Colin joined Beta Miles, their ruthlessness clear. We clashed, our bodies moving in deadly grace. The anger and betrayal fueled my every move and for the first time I felt the extent of my powers. I fought with a strength I never knew I had.Miles plunged a knife into Ryker’s stomach, igniting a fury within me that I couldn’t contain. I wolfed out, throwing myself at Miles, my claws tearing at his flesh, my teeth sinking deep.Gasps echoed around me as everyone saw the size of my wolf form. But Miles was fast. He grabbed a knife and stabbed me, forcing me to morph back. Blood poured from my wound, but it wasn’t mine. It was his. Smiling through the pa

    CHAPTER SEVENTY THREEROXANNEI'll let Beta Miles continue his side of the story but first let me tell you how we connected,” Lilith said and beamed at me. “Kara was a chatterbox and she couldn't keep secrets to herself. So she got so happy one day and told Beta Miles that she knew the prophecy, not caring that it could put me at risk. She told him it was Roxanne and me and they were faraway.”She sounded disappointed. “Beta Miles got interested and wanted to work for me so I could get what I wanted and he could get what he wanted. All of us wanted something and we burned for it. For me, it was revenge, for Kara it was peace.” Lilith touched my shoulder but I shrugged her hands off. “I knew kara was going to fail me someday. She stopped writing to me after receiving my letter, then one day, she said she couldn't kill you because she liked you and you were nice.”Tears slipped down my eyes. Kara… she had always told me she would never hurt me. It wasn't a promise, it was the truth. Sh

    CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO LILITHWe all gasped back to reality and took indrawn gasps while the necromancer removed the needles from our foreheads. Roxanne and Zane stared at me like they were seeing a ghost and I motioned for the necromancer to stay with me and not leave yet.“Mom– oh my God,” Roxanne whispered in disbelief as she placed a hand over her head.Zane stared at me with pity. An expression I loathed with my being.“I know it's hard to decipher,” the necromancer said. “It's also overwhelming. Your mother sacrificed Lilith’s life to save you because you were a powerful child, Roxanne. You were the prophecy blue moon had years ago and I knew I had to seal your powers. Your mother was in so much pain that day but she had to do what she needed to do.”Roxanne shook her head as tears slipped down her face. “She had a choice.”“But she still had to make a choice from both,” the necromancer said. “You were chosen, Roxanne. Sealing your powers away was what made you weak. You were neve

    CHAPTER SEVENTY ONEROXANNE What do you do when you're face to face with the demons that have been lurking in the dark, hurting you, whispering fear and terror in your dreams? What do you do when the secrets of the past, the secrets you've longed to know, are finally before you? Do you turn away because you know it won't end well, or do you stay because you've been kept in the dark for too long?My eyes darted to a corner, and there he was—Ryker, bound with chains. Just like my vision had revealed. He looked exhausted and in pain, his clothes stained with blood, and wounds covering his skin. A raw gasp escaped my lips, and my heart clenched.The girl smiled and approached me. My heart thumped loudly in my chest, as I watched her movement. There was something hauntingly familiar about her.It scared me that we looked exactly alike. It was as if I was staring at a reflection of myself, except this reflection had blue eyes while mine were hazel."What's going on?" Zane demanded, his voi

    CHAPTER SEVENTY ROXANNE Selina briefed me on the plan as we moved quickly towards the area where Ryker was.She told me that she could trace the way they went since Beta Miles was her mate, but I couldn't scent Ryker since he had rejected me. If my wolf had surfaced earlier, I would have been able to sense that he was in danger, but now I couldn't. My heart pounded loudly as I thought about the battle. I was unsure about myself. I had no idea if I could defeat Beta Miles.We headed towards Blue Moon. Confusion sprawled on my face as I wondered what had brought the Beta and Alpha here. It must be his way of reuniting the three packs so they could turn against me. After all, I was a threat.As we neared the location, the air grew tense. The sound of battle echoed through the trees.“Stay close,” Selina whispered, her eyes scanning the area. “We need to find Ryker and get him out of here.”I nodded, my senses heightened. The scent of blood and fear filled the air , and I could feel th
