Seth POV

Hunter's words echoed in my mind, and I couldn’t stop staring at him, my disbelief turning into frustration. He was facing away, his silhouette framed against the window of his study. He looked like a statue— cold and unmoving— but I could see the tension in his shoulders.

It had to be a mistake, a trick of my ears, so I spoke again, forcing myself to keep calm.

“Hunter, are you saying you won’t punish her for this?” I asked, my voice tight with controlled anger. “You know the punishment for this... for what she’s done. It’s death.”

I waited for him to respond, to tell me I was wrong, that he would see reason. But he only turned slightly, his voice low and filled with a pain that I hadn’t seen in him in a long time.

“I know, Seth. I know that I should hang her. But I can’t. And you know very well why.”

The words were justified, but I did want to hear them.

Of course, I knew the reason. The ancient law was clear: a werewolf could not kill their own mate without dire conseque

    Akira’s POVHunter’s silence was tearing me apart. Each day that passed without him confronting me, without him giving me a punishment that matched my crimes, left me more terrified.It wasn’t just the fear of what he might eventually do to me— no, it was the uncertainty. I expected him to lash out, to break me into pieces. That’s the Hunter I knew— the ruthless Alpha who wouldn’t hesitate to bring justice.Yet, here he was, barely acknowledging my existence, and that scared me more than anything.I couldn't figure out his reasons. Why was he being lenient with me?I knew I deserved every ounce of his wrath, but instead, he instructed me to care for the memorial grounds, where the pack members and Lisa were buried. Maybe it was his way of making me face the consequences of my betrayal, forcing me to look at what my actions had caused every single day— a constant reminder of my guilt. But then, why did he also want me to study the history of the Silver Moon pack? What was the point of

    Akira’s POVI was on my knees again, yanking at the stubborn weeds that seemed to spring up overnight. It was only three days ago that I had cleared this place, but the weeds kept coming back, almost as if they were taunting me, a constant reminder of my endless task.What else did I expect? This was the very ground where the decomposed remains of the pack members and Lisa were scattered.Hunter had chosen to leave the land bare— no headstones, no plaques, just an open space marked by the inscription at the gate: "Brothers, sisters, families who will forever be in our hearts."Without the gated entrance and those words, no one would know that this empty patch of earth held the bodies of brave men and women who had died fighting for what they believed in. And I, I was the reason they had died, the cause of the massacre.I felt the weight of that guilt every time I stepped through the gate.I had to come here every morning, sweeping away the dried leaves that fell from the ancient oak t

    Jackson POV"Hey, Jackson! Tell your guards to let go of me!" a voice barked from outside my house, sounding angry and impatient. I stayed still, listening closely as the unknown visitor struggled against my guards.The voice sounded familiar, but I wasn’t going to take any chances— it could be Hunter in disguise, trying to infiltrate my home. Ever since the attack on Hunter’s territory, I had kept my defenses high. It had been a month and a week since that bloody night, and there hadn’t been a single word or retaliation from him.The silence was unnerving, and I couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t struck back. What was he planning? What was he planning in that silent mind of his? The thought had gnawed me every day.The waiting was almost worse than an actual fight."Jackson!" The stern voice called out again, louder this time, demanding my attention. I moved to the window and peeked outside, recognizing the older Alpha Phil; an older, stubborn Alpha known for his sharp tongue.A

    Akira’s POVThe moment Jackson and Phil spotted me, they jumped up from their seats, panic flashing across their faces. Jackson’s hand went to the knife on his belt, while Phil nearly tripped over the edge of the rug in his rush to get away."Relax," I called out, raising my hands in a calming gesture, trying to ease the tension in the room. "It’s just me."Jackson paused, still eyeing me with suspicion, his gaze darting around the entrance as if expecting Hunter to leap out from the shadows at any moment. I sighed, knowing he didn’t trust me. I added, “And yes, I didn’t come with Hunter. Or better yet, let me put it this way, Hunter doesn’t even know I’m here.” But his expression didn’t change.His suspicion was written all over his face. I could practically see his mind working through the possible traps I might be setting. I rolled my eyes, letting out an exasperated sigh, then shrugged off the guards who had grabbed my arms when I entered. When they made a move to grab me again, I

    Kestrel POVHunter pushed open the door of his sitting room but when he spotted me sitting there alone, waiting for him, I saw a flicker of something in his eyes— surprise, maybe even frustration. He hesitated, and for a moment, he was going to leave without a word, but I quickly called out his name.“Hunter,” I called, standing up before he could bolt.He sighed heavily, and I could hear the exhaustion in it as he turned back towards me.“Kestrel,” he muttered, his voice distant. He leaned back against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest like he was trying to prevent a barrier between us.I stared at him, struggling to keep my emotions in check. “You’ve become such a hard man to see, Hunter,” I said, my voice sharper than I intended. “Are you intentionally avoiding me?”He shifted uncomfortably, glancing away for a moment before meeting my eyes again. “Not really,” he said, but I could hear the lie in his tone.A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “What just happened a few seconds

    Akira’s POVAs I stood there, still stunned by the sight of Hunter and Kestrel locked in that kiss, it crashed me, leaving my chest tight with sadness. Kestrel hadn’t even completely left the room when Hunter turned on me, his eyes hard and unyielding, refusing to meet mine. His voice was cold and distant, like he’d erected an invisible wall between us. “What do you want, Akira?” he snapped, the impatience in his tone cutting through me like a knife.I swallowed hard, feeling my throat tighten. He hadn’t forgiven me for betraying him by working with Jackson, that much was clear. And the most painful part was how he wouldn’t even look at me. He stared past me like I was nothing more than a nuisance. But I ignored the harshness in his voice and the sharp sting in my chest, trying to keep my own emotions in check. Slowly, I asked the question that had been gnawing at my heart since I saw them together. “Are you and Kestrel... now together?”I knew that wasn’t the real reason I had come

    Seth’s POVI could feel the anger of the men radiating like heat from a fire, their murmurs growing louder, their eyes burning with frustration. One of Hunter’s men, a burly guy named Marcus, finally snapped. His voice, hoarse and filled with fury, echoed in the small gathering. "Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?" he shouted, slamming his fist on the table. "It’s been weeks since the massacre of our brothers and sisters, and still, nothing’s been done! Are we no longer the pack of the Silver Moon? Why would an alpha attack us and get away with it? And why are you letting it slide, Hunter?"The crowd roared in agreement, men nodding their heads, shouting “Yes!” and “Exactly!” It was chaos. The men who had always been obedient, who followed Hunter and my without question, were now openly rebelling. I couldn't blame them. They had lost friends—brothers—because of that brutal attack. Their grief had been spilling over into rage, and it was only a matter of time before som

    Seth POV’sAs soon as we stepped out of the hall, I could feel Seth’s eyes on me, burning with frustration. I knew this was coming. The moment the door shut behind us, Seth’s voice cut through the silence.“Don’t you think they deserved more than the answer you gave them?”I sighed and rolled my eyes, already bracing myself for what I knew would be a long conversation. I could hear the disbelief and anger in his voice, but I was tired. Tired of trying to explain myself, tired of the constant pressure. Seth wasn’t wrong to feel the way he did, but I couldn’t give more than what I had already offered.“Seth, what else do you want me to say?” I asked, trying to keep my tone calm, though the frustration was creeping in. “That’s all I can tell them right now.”“How about actually giving them a detailed answer to the questions they asked? Because what I heard in there was barely an answer,” Seth shot back, his tone sharp, surprising me with the edge in his words.I stopped walking and turne

    Kestrel’s POVI hurried back to the kitchen as fast as I could. My failed attempt to pry information from Akira still stung, but I wasn’t giving up yet. That servant, the one who had boldly insulted her, was my next target.Surely, she wouldn’t be as difficult as Akira.When I stepped into the kitchen, I was met with silence. The loud commotion from earlier had completely dissipated. A few servants were busy with their tasks—chopping vegetables, stirring pots, and kneading dough—but there was no sign of the one I had come for.I stood there, scanning the room, unsure of what to do next. Should I ask the other servants about the incident? Would they even tell me anything useful?Before I could decide and almost made up my mind to ask the other female servant, the kitchen’s storage room door creaked open, and she stepped out.I smiled to myself. Perfect.The servant looked different now. Her shoulders slumped, and her face carried an air of sadness. It was strange. She had been so fierc

    Kestrel’s POVI watched Akira disappear down the hallway, out of the kitchen and the small estate and heading to the main estate. Her steps hurried, almost as though she was trying to escape the harshness of the words hurled at her in the kitchen.My mind swirled with questions about what I had just witnessed. Seeing her humiliated like that, seeing her near the brink of tears— it was oddly satisfying. I couldn’t deny it.A smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. She deserved it, every bit of it.Still, an idea crept into my head, one I couldn’t ignore.What if I went to her now, pretending to care? It would be a perfect opportunity to dig deeper, to find out what was really going on. The mighty Akira brought low was a rare sight, and I wasn’t about to waste it.Without bothering to grab the snack I had originally gone to the kitchen for, I quickly followed her down the hall.“Akira,” I called out, my voice laced with a false sweetness.She didn’t stop. She didn’t even turn around inst

    Kestrel’s POV Standing at the desk in sitting room of Hunter home, I tossed the paperwork I had been pretending to work on across the table. My head pounded from staring at the meaningless columns of numbers, my eyes darting repeatedly toward the clock. No matter how hard I tried to focus, my mind always circled back to Hunter— and Akira. I stretched my arms above my head, rolling my shoulders. My muscles were tense, a clear reflection of my frustration. Pretending to support their ridiculous union had been more exhausting than I had anticipated. Coming here to apology weeks ago had been my only way back into the pack’s fold, but every word I’d spoken had burned my tongue. Apologize to that Akira? A mere upstart who had stolen everything from me? I sighed remembering how they had acted when I walked in on them apologizing for the very thing I hated; their union. No matter how it may still sound, Hunter was mine. Or at least, he should have been. Why shouldn’t we be together? W

    August’s POVTaking a deep breath, I forced a neutral expression onto my face and opened the door. “Seth,” I said, feigning surprise. “Didn’t expect to see you here. What brings you by?”He didn’t answer immediately, his sharp eyes scanning me from head to toe. “Can I come in?” he finally asked, his tone unreadable.I hesitated for a fraction of a second before stepping aside to let him in. “Sure. Make yourself at home,” I said, trying to keep my voice casual.Seth walked in, his movements slow and deliberate, like a predator stalking its prey, his tall frame casting a shadow across my dimly lit living room. My heart raced, pounding in my chest like a trapped bird, but I forced myself to stay calm. I plastered a neutral expression on my face, hoping it would mask the sheer panic bubbling beneath the surface.Inside, my mind was racing. What was he doing here? Had Akira told him what she saw? Did he suspect me? Did he know? Had Akira seen more than I thought?He didn’t sit down, he ju

    August’s POVThe air in my house was stifling, and my shirt stuck to my skin as I leaned against the wall, catching my breath. My heart was pounding like a drum, my lungs struggling to keep up after the frantic sprint through the woods.Damn Akira!If she had caught me sneaking around Hunter’s estate tonight with Jackson, I wouldn’t be standing here. The thought alone made my blood boil.I ripped off my torn shirt which was in pieces as a result of transforming back to human form, letting out a growl of frustration. Turing to werewolf to speed off my running speed was the best decision I had done immediately I had sighed her and I was glad that was swift.I had barely escaped, and now, I had to deal with Jackson and his incessant complaining. Grabbing my phone from the table, I punched his number and pressed it to my ear. The line rang twice before he answered.“August,” his gruff voice barked. “What now?”“What now?” I snapped back, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “What now is that I

    Hunter’s POVThat same evening, the evening air felt thick with tension as I stood by the window, staring out into the fading light. Akira had vanished into the shadows not long ago, heading off to confront Jackson. I had did as my instincts had told me and tried to stop her, but she was as stubborn as the day was long. She had insisted she’d be fine, and I had to trust her. Still, the worry gnawed at me.I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that something wasn’t right.Behind me, I heard footsteps entering the living room. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Seth had always moved with a deliberate stride, and he didn’t bother hiding his presence.“That was a quick meeting,” Seth said, coming to stand beside me. His voice was casual, but I knew him too well. He was fishing for answers.“Yeah,” I replied without turning to look at him. My focus remained fixed on the direction Akira had gone. The shadows stretched longer across the compound, and with each passing moment, my

    Akira’s POVAs soon as the older Alphas walked out of the sitting room, I turned to Hunter. “Did you see the look Jackson gave me?” I asked, my voice low but tense.Hunter leaned back slightly in his seat, his eyes narrowing as he replayed the scene in his mind. “Of course, I saw it,” he replied. “The man’s full of spite. He hates you because he thinks you’re not being the spy he expected you to be.”My mind wondered in so many thoughts.Jackson’s gaze wasn’t just hateful; it was accusing, as though he’d been wronged. And the way his eyes lingered on me—it sent a chill down my spine. “I’ll go talk to him,” I said, standing up abruptly.However, before I could take a step, Hunter grabbed my wrist. His grip was firm, almost protective. “No,” he said, his voice leaving no room for argument. “With the way things went here, he might unleash his anger on you. I won’t let that happen.”I looked into Hunter’s eyes, seeing both his worry and his resolve. But I also knew Jackson well enough to

    Seth’s POVThe estate felt colder tonight, or maybe it was just the weight of the task ahead pressing on my chest. Hunter had always expected loyalty from me, but tonight, I could feel the edges of doubt creeping into my thoughts. I couldn’t afford hesitation. Not now. Not when everything was on the line. The double agent had to be dealt with before Jackson made his move. Hunter had given me a simple task: find the traitor, and eliminate him quietly. I wasn’t blind. I knew that even the smallest mistake could unravel everything we’d worked for, so I was meticulous. I followed the usual routes— checked in with the informants I trusted, observed the pack’s movements— but something felt off. There was a flicker of something different, something I couldn’t quite place. My instincts itched at the back of my mind, telling me there was more going on beneath the surface.The first clue came when I noticed Aric’s nervous behavior. Normally, he was sharp, confident, but lately, his movements

    Kestrel’s POVI stood in front of Hunter’s door, ready to knock, but noticed it was already half-open.Curiosity got the better of me, so I peeked inside. My heart sank as I saw them—Hunter and Akira—wrapped up in each other. She was sitting on his lap, his arms possessively around her, and they were kissing, laughing, and talking softly. The way they looked at each other made my stomach turn. It wasn’t just physical; it was deeper than that. They were now connected. The kind of connection I had always wanted with him but never had when I was literally gracing his bed. I sighed. My hands clenched at my sides as I watched them. They looked like a power couple—two people who were not only lovers but friends. That was the part that hurt the most. Hunter and I had never had that kind of relationship. Even when I tried to start something he was always distant with me, now he ended up being cold. But with Akira, he was soft, playful, and affectionate. I could feel my anger boiling insid
