Damien’s POV

The leather chair creaked as I leaned back, my fingers gripping the edge of my desk. The pack call had been going on for nearly an hour, and the tension in the room was palpable. We were discussing territory disputes and strategies to expand our influence. My goal was clear: to secure the largest territory assignment in the upcoming council deliberations led by me, the Lycan Alpha King. This wasn’t just about land—it was about power, respect, and cementing my status as the strongest Alpha in the region. And I can do anything to accomplish and protect it even if I have to spill blood.

“Damien, what’s your next step?” one of the council members on the call asked, breaking my train of thought.

“I’ll handle it,” I said, my voice calm yet commanding. “We’ll increase patrols on the eastern border. Any encroachment will be dealt with swiftly.”

Just as I was about to elaborate, the door to my office was flung open with a loud crash. I looked up, irritation flashing through me, but the sight of Georgia standing there froze me in place.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, but her posture was steel. She held a stack of papers in one hand, her fingers clenched tightly around them. 

“Georgia,” I said, my voice lowering. “What are you doing here? I’m in the middle of something important.”

“This won’t take long,” she replied, her tone sharp and unyielding. She stepped forward and placed the papers on my desk with a deliberate thud. “It’s a divorce petition. I need you to sign it.”

I stared at the papers, my mind racing. For a moment, I couldn’t speak. Divorce? My perfect Luna, my fated mate, wanted to leave me?

“Georgia,” I said slowly, standing up. “Let’s not do this right now. Can we talk about this later? I’m in the middle of something—”

“No,” she interrupted, her voice firm. “We’ll talk about it now. You’ve been avoiding this for days, Damien. I won’t let you put it off anymore.”

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose as I dismissed the pack call with a quick command. The screen went dark, and the room fell silent.

I turned to her, stepping around the desk. “Georgia, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I can’t sign these.” I said. This isn’t just about my love for her—it’s about the pack, about everything I have built together.  This marriage was never about us. It has always been about my ambitions, my politics. She was just a piece on my chessboard.

“I feel nothing for Patricia,” I said, my voice rising slightly. “You’re my Luna, my mate. I love you, Georgia.”

She shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. This wasn’t about love. I know what this marriage really is a political alliance. I needed a strong Luna to consolidate my position as Alpha, and she was convenient. She’s from one of the strongest packs, her father has one of the strongest soldiers. With her as my wife, her father’s pack would belong to me when he dies soonest and her absence will cost me everything I have built for over the years.

“Georgia, listen to me,” I said, stepping closer. “I know things haven’t been perfect, but we can fix this.” I replied. I needed to stop her. If we divorce now, it’ll ruin everything. My standing, our influence—it’ll all crumble.”

She looked away, her jaw tightening. “This isn’t about your love for me, Damien. This is about us. About the fact that you lied to me for years. You fathered a child with Patricia and hid it from me. And all while making me take pills so we wouldn’t have children of our own. How do you expect me to stay in a marriage like that?”

I ran a hand through my hair, frustration boiling inside me. “I made mistakes, I know that. But I did it for us—for the pack. Liam wasn’t supposed to be part of our lives, Georgia. He was a mistake, but he doesn’t change how I feel about you.”

Her gaze snapped back to mine, fire burning in her eyes. “A mistake? He’s your son, Damien. Your flesh and blood. And you called him a mistake. Do you even hear yourself? This isn’t just about the lies—it’s about the kind of man you are.”

“Georgia, please,” I said, my voice softening. “Think about what this will do to the pack. To our future. Everyone is watching us closely. If we fall apart now,  I don’t think I’ll ever fall in love and the pack will lose its stability. You don’t want that, do you?”

She shook her head, a tear slipping down her cheek. “You’re not hearing me, Damien. I don’t care about the future. I don’t care about politics. I care about the fact that I can’t trust you. That I don’t feel safe with you anymore.”

My chest tightened as I watched her break before me. “Georgia, I love you. I need you. You’re the only one who can stand by my side, the only one who makes me whole.”

She gave me a sad smile, one filled with exhaustion and heartbreak. “No, Damien. You don’t love me. You love the image of me. The perfect Luna, the perfect wife, the perfect alliance. But that’s not who I am anymore.”

I stepped closer, desperation clawing at my throat. “Please, Georgia. Don’t do this. We can fix it. I’ll do whatever it takes to earn your trust again.”

But she shook her head, her resolve unshaken. “It’s too late, Damien. Some things can’t be fixed. I’ll send someone to collect your signature. Goodbye.”

And with that, she turned and walked out of my office, leaving the papers on my desk.

I stood there, staring at the divorce petition, feeling my carefully constructed world crumble around me. The perfect marriage, the perfect image, the perfect plan—none of it mattered anymore. Without her, it was all meaningless.

    Georgia’s POVMy first night in my new apartment was a quiet one. I stood in the middle of the small, sparsely furnished living room, staring at the stack of unopened boxes that lined the walls that I needed to unpack. It was nothing like the sprawling, luxurious house I’d shared with Damien, but it was mine. My sanctuary. Or so I’d thought.The apartment was modest—a small one-bedroom tucked into the corner of an aging brick building. The creaking floorboards and slightly peeling paint made it feel lived-in, cozy even. I liked it. For the first time in years, I felt like I could breathe. But that feeling evaporated the second the sharp, insistent knock rattled my front door. My heart froze. I wasn’t expecting anyone.“Open the door, Georgia,” Damien’s voice barked from the other side. Cold and commanding, just like I remembered.I stayed rooted in place, my fingers trembling at my sides. The lock was flimsy at best, and I didn’t trust it to hold.“Georgia!” His tone rose, fury spill

Damian, the man I had called my husband for years, had threatened to kill me if I leave our marriage. His voice, once my comfort, had twisted into something dark and merciless. He had meant every word. Marrying him at age 21 had always been the best thing that ever happened to me even though he was 30. But now, all I see was marriage in hell.Just then, the stranger’s voice broke through my thoughts, gentle but firm.“Are you okay?” He asked.The man standing before me had the bluest eyes I had ever seen… like the afternoon sky on a sunny day and his lips perfectly curved up in a smile that didn’t reach his eyes while he stared at meI looked up at him sharply, my heart lurching. The stranger was standing just a few feet away, his presence moments ago made me feel safe rather than in danger and now, he appeared

I groaned, shifting under the heavy blankets, my body aching in protest. Rubbing my bleary eyes, I tried to stretch my hand toward my phone on the nightstand, but the moment I moved, a sharp pain shot through my head as I held unto my head, wincing in pain. Pressing a hand against my forehead, feeling the dull, persistent throb at my temples, I tried not to move to relieve the pain.Flashes of last night’s activities fill my mind. The amazing moment I had experienced with Kael. His touch and how his hands were gentle against my skin but I was quick to shake this thought off my head. I can’t let this thought consume me. It was just a one night stand and I am not feeling guilty. Damien had cheated on me after all. The ringing started again, cutting through my sluggish thoughts. With a heavy sigh, I grabbed the phone as I saw the caller ID. Fat

I groaned, rolling onto my side as I struggled to blink myself awake. My hand rubbed my tired eyes, while the other instinctively reached out across the bed, fingers trailing over the cool, empty sheets searching for her. A small frown formed between my brows as my hand searched further, moving over every corner I could reach until suddenly, I felt nothing.My eyes snapped open.I turned my head toward the side of the bed where she had laid last night, where her body had been pressed against me, where the scent of her skin had filled in the sheets. I inhaled it deeply and slowly.The way she had looked at me in the eyes while I was inside her, how she bit her lips seductively, how her breath hitched as my hands roamed her bare skin, how she had whispered my name in a voice so soft and sweet, how she had surrendered herself to me entirely.I exhaled sha

    Kael’s POVEver since Georgia had left that day, memories of her was still fresh in my mind. I had searched for her everywhere. I’d passed by her house more times than I cared to admit, always leaving with the same disappointment. I haunted that damn club where we met, hoping she’d walk through the doors again, but she never did.Shortly, my door creaked open, revealing Lucy, my mistress. Lucy stepped. She is wearing a transparent fitted black dress, thin straps hugging her shoulders, the neckline plunging and showing her cleavage and part of her breast just enough to tempt the eye. “You’ve been different,” she said quietly, stepping closer. Her voice carried a softness. “You’ve been avoiding me lately.”I said nothing.“I come here, and you barely look at me. You don’t touch me anymore… not like before.” Her heels clicked softly against the floor as she approached. I didn’t answer. When I didn’t respond, she moved closer, standing between my knees now, her body mere inches from

No matter what happens with Damien, you’ll always have a place here.”I stood in my bedroom that night, surrounded by half-packed bags. For so long, I’d convinced myself that leaving wasn’t an option, that I had to stay and make things work, maybe accept Patricia as my co-wife. But seeing how my father showed me how welcomed I am to his pack, I knew the moon goddess has blessed me with such a loving father. He finally wanted me home.So I packed. Each piece of clothing folded into my suitcase while Damien was away for work.Ever since I got married to Damien, Damien had always found ways to keep me away from my family, always had a reason why I couldn’t visit my family. “Your place is with me,”

Damien’s name was flashing on the screen.Thirty missed calls.I hadn’t expected him to be this persistent. As if on cue, a message notification popped up. Hesitating for a moment, I tapped it open, only to find a flood of texts from Damien.‘You’re overreacting to this little thing. Come back home where you belong. Patricia and Liam’s presence shouldn’t threaten you. He’s your stepson, and as the future alpha, you should love him as your own. Patricia will be sharing our bed. If you don’t like that, you can take turns. But I can’t send her or Liam away, he is my blood. You need to understand that. I love you. The pack misses you too. Come back tonight. If you refuse, I’ll send my men to bring you back.” Those were his pathetic words from the

Ruth stood in front of us, wringing her hands together, her eyes glassy with unshed tears.“I already miss you guys,” she said, her voice cracking on the last word.I smiled, swallowing the lump in my throat. “We’ll miss you too, Ruth. So much.”She reached out, brushing Nathalie’s soft hair and then Nathaniel’s. “They’re such angels. I… I wish I could go with you.”“They’ll never forget you,” I promised, shifting Nathalie carefully so I could hug Ruth with my free arm. “Neither will I.”Ruth clung to me tightly for a moment, before pulling back with a watery laugh. “Go, before I start bawling right here and cause a scene.”Leah grinned and adjusted Nathaniel’s cap. “We’ll send you tons of pictures. Videos too. You’re stuck with us, whether you like it or not.”Ruth chuckled through her tears and waved as

    Georgia’s POVThe plane hummed beneath us, a steady drone that should’ve lulled me to sleep but didn’t. My stomach churned with a mix of anticipation and nerves, my hands fidgeting with the edge of the tray table. Leah, sprawled in the seat next to me, had her earbuds in, bobbing her head to some upbeat tune while flipping through an in-flight magazine. She looked so relaxed.I glanced out the window, the clouds below us glowing faintly in the dawn light. Somewhere down there, thousands of miles away, Kael was waiting. Waiting for me. Waiting for Nathaniel and Nathalie. My heart squeezed at the thought of their little faces, their wobbly steps, their garbled attempts at words. They were with Ruth, their caregiver, back at the estate, probably toddling around the nursery or giggling over some toy. I hadn’t told Ruth we were coming to get the kids yet, how do you explain to one-year-olds that they’re about to see their father for a holiday? But I could already imagine their wide, curiou

I shut the door behind me, feeling a strange combination of excitement and nerves tightening in my chest.She looked up immediately. “Hey. You’re back early,” she said, smiling. “You okay?”I nodded, sitting on my side of the bed and drawing in a breath. “Yeah. I just… I need to talk to you.”She closed the magazine, giving me her full attention. “That sounds serious.”“It’s not bad,” I said quickly. “Actually, it’s… kind of good.”Her eyes lit up. “Okay, tell me.”I glanced at her, my voice softer than I intended. “Kael wants me to bring the kids to him.”Her brows lifted. “Wait, what?”“He wants to see them. He… he already booked my flight.”Leah blinked, her mouth slightly open, then she broke into a huge smile. “No way! That’s amazing! Oh my God

    Kael’s POV Later that evening, I was in my chamber, sitting near the hearth with a half-empty glass of wine when Karl walked in. His expression was unreadable as usual, but the faint twitch in his jaw told me he was holding back questions.“I heard what happened,” he said without preamble. “Between you and Lydia.”I let out a breath, rubbing my temple. “It’s been handled.”“Handled?” He stepped further into the room, arms crossed. “That’s all you’re going to say?”I looked up at him. “Yes.”Karl raised a brow. “Should I be worried?”“No.” I leaned back against the chair. “She’s been kept in her place. Loud and clear.”Karl stared at me for a few seconds longer, then gave a curt nod. “Good.” He walked toward the window, staring out at the darkened woods. “There’s been some murmuring about the pack house.”“What kind of murmuring?”“Just… talk. About the damage, the part that burned during the last attack. People are beginning to ask what the plan is.”I nodded slowly. “Calyx should’ve

    Georgia’s POVThe Grove lay hushed in the wake of battle. Branches shuddered where Kael’s shockwave had torn through the underbrush; moonlight sifted through torn leaves and caught on the scattered shards of Lydia’s dark wards. I pressed my hand to my chest, heart pounding, as though it still fought against every beat. Beside me, Kael knelt over the fallen Tear, its silvery glow now gentle, like a pulse beneath his fingertips.“Georgia,” he said, voice low. The single word felt charged, as if he’d been holding it back through the onslaught. He reached for my hand, brushing away the blade of grass that had cut my palm. His touch was warm, an anchor in the aftermath.I swallowed hard. My lungs ached and I tasted copper in my mouth from exertion and fear. But there, in his gaze, I found something stronger than fear: relief, wonder, something dangerously close to joy. “We did it,” I whispered, and it was both a statement of fact and a question. Did we really?Kael nodded, his dark hair fa

    Georgia’s POVThe world seemed to hold its breath, the mist curling around us like a living thing, heavy with Lydia’s dark magic. Kael’s hand was still in mine, his grip so tight it hurt, but I couldn’t pull away. His eyes, stormy and tormented, held mine for a heartbeat longer before he turned to face Lydia. “Lydia,” Kael said, his voice steady despite the chaos, “I won’t marry you. I won’t bind myself to you again. Not for the pack, not for the Tear, not for anything. You need to let this go.”Lydia’s face twisted, her triumph curdling into something feral. “Let it go?” she spat, her voice rising, sharp enough to cut. “You think I can just walk away from you? From us? You were mine, Kael. Mine!” Her hands clenched, and the dark tendrils in the mist surged, snapping like whips toward Sylvara’s wards. The shimmering barrier flickered, and Sylvara grunted, her knees buckling as she fought to hold it.“Kael, we don’t have time!” Sylvara shouted, her voice strained. “The wards are faili

    Georgia’s POVThe courtyard was a battlefield, the air thick with ash and the snarls of Lydia’s allies. Their glowing eyes cut through the haze like beacons of malice, and my heart hammered as I scrambled to my feet, pain radiating from my shoulder. Kael was already up, his body coiled like a predator, his gaze darting between the encroaching figures and me. Sylvara stood at his side, her dagger glinting as she muttered words under her breath, her violet eyes blazing with focus. The wards she was weaving shimmered faintly, a fragile barrier against the onslaught.“Georgia, stay behind me,” Kael growled, his voice barely human. His claws extended, and I could feel the power radiating from him, the alpha ready to tear through anything to protect his pack and me.But my eyes were locked on the spot where Lydia had stood, her taunting smile burned into my mind. Her words echoed, sharp and venomous: “Going somewhere, Georgia?” The way she’d looked at me, like I was nothing more than an o

    Georgia’s POVThe air in Kael’s chamber was thick with the weight of his words, the promise of truth hanging between us like a fragile thread. I sat on the edge of a carved wooden chair, my hands clasped tightly in my lap, my eyes locked on his. Kael stood by the hearth, the firelight casting shadows across his sharp features, making him look both divine and haunted. His admission that Lydia was no longer his lover had loosened something in me, but the questions still churned, about her, about why Kael’s fear seemed to pulse with a life of its own.“Start talking,” I said, my voice steadier than I felt. “I need to know everything.”Kael exhaled, his shoulders sagging as if the weight of centuries pressed down on him. “Lydia was my mate, long ago,” he began, his voice low, almost a whisper. “Not by choice, but by a ritual forced upon us by the old gods. It was meant to bind our power, to make us stronger against threats to the pack. But it was never love. Not for me.”I swallowed, the

    Georgia’s POVThe walk back to the pack house with calyx was silent, each step feeling heavier than the last. His presence beside me was both a comfort and a puzzle. I stole a glance at him, his strong jaw set.We reached the pack house, and the bustle of pack members moving through the courtyard snapped me out of my spiraling thoughts. Calyx paused at the entrance, turning to me with that same concerned look he’d worn in the clearing. “You sure you’re okay, Georgia? You’ve been quiet.”His question sounded strange.He studied me for a moment, as if weighing whether to press further, then nodded. “Get some rest. I’ll check on you later.”I watched him walk away, his broad shoulders disappearing into the crowd, and the knot in my chest tightened further. Rest sounded impossible. I needed answers, not sleep. But where to start? Confront Kael about Lydia ? Demand the truth from calyx? Or dig into my own memories, the ones from my past life, to see if they held any clues about the red-h
