“Leave,” Her statement replayed in my head. What does she take me for? A fool? I won't fall for her dirty lies to cover up for her father’s deed. Her father had taken the Guardian and she is trying to hide the Guardian’s location.

I was a fool for not investigating her at first. I should have known.

I left the ward just like she wanted, not without slamming the door in anger as it fell and broke.

~~

I walked down the stairs, and upon reaching the dining hall, Ziva was not around again. It has been four days now, and surprisingly, I haven't seen her in the mansion. Perhaps that's because I've been busy with pack work.

I pulled out a chair and turned to the Head Omega, “Did she have breakfast?”

“Who?” The Head Omega replied.

I faced her with a deadly glare, and she gazed at the floor instantly.

“That Ziva girl,” I responded.

“Alpha, I've not seen her for some days now,” the Head Omega uttered, causing me to pause.

“And what does that mean?”

“She has not been in this mansion for f

    ZIVAHis phone was not clasped in his hand, as it was obviously in his pocket since the outlines were clear on his tight sweatpants.“Why are you not in the Omega’s uniform? That's an offense,” he spoke loudly, causing my eyes to widen as I was caught off guard.How dare he relate me to an Omega?! I'm his wife, an Alpha’s wife!“Uhm...” I heard a feminine voice say, interrupting my conversation with Alpha Xander.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure approach us. “She is Alpha Xander’s wife.” the figure whispered. It was a fat figure, and as it neared, I realized that it was the Head Omega.My brows furrowed, with my eyes darting back and forth between the Head Omega and Alpha Xander as if trying to follow a tennis match.Huh? Why is she telling him that? Doesn't he know that I'm his wife?“Oh! I was not aware!” Alpha Xander exclaimed.Suddenly, he took my hand gently. He raised it to his lips and brushed them against the back of my hand. Then, he raised his gaze and muttered

    XANDERHe stayed mute, and I moved away from him, not wanting to beat him up or do something I would regret later on.I calmed myself as I fought to keep my composure.“I don't know what has gotten into you or what influenced you, but this was not what I was expecting from you. You being the younger one doesn't make you less of a son, and you should be more pressed towards getting revenge than I am. I am disappointed in you.” I said all that I had in my mind before leaving his presence.To be honest, the only reason why Alexei stayed in the city was because of the petty fights we had when we were younger. We also fought for the Alpha position, but luckily, my father assigned me as the next Alpha because I was older. Sigh... Alexei was born a few minutes after I was washed, but that doesn't mean that he should be a fool!ZIVAWith the aim of getting the Crystal Moon, I built a friendly relationship with the Omegas, and the Head Omega, hoping that they would shed light about the Cryst

    ZIVAHastily, I turned to Alexei, not wanting to be caught up with Alpha Xander’s dark gaze. As Alexei walked into another part of the training area, I followed. In this part of the training area, there were some warriors with guns who were also shooting at a dummy, just like Alpha Xander was.As soon as Alexei entered the area, the other warriors immediately evacuated, leaving just me and Alexei.“I think you would definitely love to try this out,” Alexei spoke. He stretched a pistol toward me, and I shook my head quickly. “I've never thrown a punch let alone used a pistol. I might end up hurting someone.” I confessed, my voice so soft that I was irked, and wondered what changed it.Alexei’s jaw dropped, “What? You are an Alpha’s daughter; you should be able to do this.”“Well, I'm kinda like a pampered daughter,” I lied, covering up the moments I was a slave and Omega in Granelma Pack.“Alright, but I think this is the best time to practice this while I'm still around,” he replied

    ZIVA“Huh?” I murmured, with my gaze landing on Alpha Xander’s lips.His lips were full and inviting. As I looked at him, I felt a flutter in my stomach. I tried to keep my expression neutral, but inside, I was melting under his intense stare.“Some distance will do,” I replied, my voice betraying me as I stammered. Alpha Xander in response released his grip from my hand, and voiced out, “Whatever thing you are planning, I’m watching you... Always.”Then, he moved away from me, and it was only after he left the area that I was able to breathe properly. The door opened slowly afterward, as Alexei walked in, “He seems to not be in a good mood today.”“He isn't,” I replied, diverting my gaze to the equipment Alexei held, “I feel more interested in this shooting of a thing.”“Oh oh! That's great!” He exclaimed, throwing a vest at me. I took the vest swiftly and wore it.“I selected a training coach for you, and I will be your other coach.”“Male or female?” I questioned.“Xander is ver

    ZIVARunning his hand through his hair, Alpha Xander asked, “Were you eavesdropping?”I moved away from my position and stood on my feet. Then, I turned to him.“You weren't even talking.”“Go away then,” he spoke, making me more curious. Why didn't he turn on the lamp when he was in the room?“Can I come inside?”He narrowed his eyes, speaking firmly, “Go away, I need some space. Distance will do.” Hey, that was my statement! Why is he copying me?“I said you should go,” he voiced out.Respecting his order, I turned around to walk away. But over my shoulders, something caught my eye... A bottle.I turned back quickly. Surprisingly, I caught a bottle of alcohol on the table in the room... Two bottles, three, four, five... I can't count!Alpha Xander moved his tall figure to the side, obstructing my view and calculation.Was he drinking? Why?“How many times do I need to tell you to leave? Do I need to force you?” he questioned, his voice slurring a bit.Oh yeah! He is drunk! No wonde

    TANIAIt’s relieving to know that Ziva is gone. She has always been a headache when we were younger as she dislikes me a lot. The look on her face when she realized that she was an illegitimate child was very much satisfying. Meanwhile, I found my mate, Nikolas.Strangely, Nikolas persisted that I stay at Granelma pack and not come to his pack, because there were some problems he had to solve. I believed him, but I couldn't take it anymore. Other Alpha’s daughters are in their mate’s pack, why should I not be in mine? With an Omega, I went to his pack. Sadly, some men stopped me, as my car reached their pack’s border. I pressed a button, causing the car’s window to roll down. I took a swift glance at the men. They were hefty and muscular.“Hello,” I spoke, smiling widely.“What pack are you from?” A muscular man asked politely.“Granelma Pack,” I replied softly. Inwardly, I chuckled, because I would be their Luna and they would bow to me.The man paused for a moment like he received

    TANIANikolas touched my hands, causing me to glance back at him. His green eyes flashed lovingly at me, and I forced a smile on my face. I didn't want him to be worried. “I was so worried about you,” Nikolas muttered, and the sounds of footsteps receding echoed.“I’m fine now,” I replied. He took my head and kissed it, “The pack doctor had a physical examination done, and thankfully, you weren't hurt.”“Hm, but what happened? I mean, someone broke into our room,” I questioned, with concern filled in my tone as I tried to sit up. Hastily, Nikolas rushed towards me and he assisted me. He pushed a pillow to my back, as I rested on it.“That was what I was talking about,” Nikolas spoke softly, and he faced me, “The pack is not safe now. You should return to Granelma Pack.”I nodded, realizing that I should have obeyed him when he told me to not come to his pack.“You are right,”Nikolas sat on the bedside, as he held my hand.“So do you plan to return to Granelma Pack?” He asked.

    TANIAI observed how Nikolas pulled his Inferior Beta into a warm embrace, with their body pressed against each other.I clenched my fists instantly, as my nails dug into my palm. How dare he!“I can never resist your scent,” he muttered under his breath, and the Inferior Beta giggled. She pushed him away slightly, giving some space between them.“What if Tania finds out? You know how this mating bond is very important, right?” She spoke with a sweet voice. Then, when Nikolas was not looking, she had a smirk on her face.Nikolas smiled, leaning towards his Beta. He whispered, “Forget Tania, I will ensure that she stays in Granelma Pack for a while, and then we can execute our plan.”“What plan?!” I barged out of the closet. As soon as I barged out, Nikolas paused, stunned by my appearance. Meanwhile, that Beta of his smirked.“I thought you wanted me to leave this pack because you cared, but here you are, having an affair with your Beta!”Par!A slap fell across my face that caused me

    ZAREK The hall had emptied, leaving behind a quiet that felt almost sacred. The day had been full of energy and celebration, but now, with everyone gone, it was just Tania and me. The air was calm, and I could feel the weight of the moment settling in. I turned to her, my heart steady. This wasn’t going to be a surprise—after all, her mother had practically announced my intentions earlier. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was what I had to say, and how much I wanted to share this with her.“Let’s take a walk,” I suggested, squeezing her hand gently.She looked at me, her eyes warm and trusting, and nodded. We made our way up the grand staircase to the top floor, where the large windows offered a clear view of the night sky. The moon hung low, casting its soft light across the polished floors, creating an intimate, almost magical atmosphere.Tania turned to me, curiosity in her gaze. “What are you up to, Zarek?”I chuckled softly. “I know your mother already spilt the beans

    ZAREK “Mum, what’s going on here?” Tania asked, her brows furrowing in concern.Tania’s mother looked up, a touch of defensiveness in her tone. “I was just discussing your engagement plans with Zarek. Don’t I have the right to know?”Tania opened her mouth to protest, but I stepped in to diffuse the situation. “It’s fine, Tania. There’s nothing wrong with discussing it. And yes, I do have plans to propose.”Tania’s eyes widened slightly with surprise, then softened as she looked at me. Her mother let out a sigh of relief. “Alright then,” she said, giving a small nod before walking away, leaving us in the midst of the bustling crowd.Tania tugged gently at my hand, guiding me towards the photo op area. As we walked, I couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not worried about the delay in the proposal, are you?”She shook her head, a light smile on her lips. “No, not at all. A normal relationship takes about two years before a proposal is made, so this is pretty standard. Besides, you’ve been

    ZAREKTime passed, and the weight of justice finally settled.With Boss and Alpha Barral behind bars, the world felt a little safer, a little lighter.Then, a loud, booming voice echoed through the hall: “Alpha Zarek!”The words reverberated off the high ceilings and marble floors, sending a shiver down my spine.In an instant, the hall erupted into thunderous applause, a sound filled with appreciation and respect. I let the waves of applause wash over me, taking a moment to soak it all in.This moment felt surreal, almost like a dream, yet the warmth of the applause and the shining eyes of Xander and his Luna, Ziva, reassured me that it was real. The pride that radiated from them confirmed everything I had fought for.I took a deep breath, savouring the moment, then began my walk to the stage.The crowd parted, clearing a path for me, their eyes full of admiration and respect. As I climbed the steps, the weight of responsibility settled on my shoulders, but it was a burden I was re

    ZAREK I held my breath. Alpha Rowan? I had heard of him—a powerful Alpha who was supposed to have been killed along with his wife. But this? It didn’t make any sense.“That’s impossible. He and his wife were killed,” I said, my voice barely audible.“They were,” Lizzy confirmed, her eyes darkening with the weight of the truth. “Nikolas’s father and boss conspired to kill Alpha Rowan and his wife as part of a twisted plan to seize power. When the plan went south and Boss was discarded, he hid the truth from you to protect his own agenda.”The room felt like it was spinning, with the walls closing in as the reality of her words sank in. I felt like I was falling, unable to grasp anything solid. The man who raised me, who trained me, who I trusted—he’d kept this from me my entire life. I had lived in the shadow of a lie. “So, everything I thought I knew... was a lie?”Lizzy nodded; her expression pained. “He kept you in the dark because he didn’t want you to know where you really

    ZAREK Tania’s breath hitched, her eyes searching mine for any hint of a joke. But this was no time for jokes, no room for lies.“Assassins?” she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief.“Yes,” I confirmed, leaning in closer, my tone even. “We’re trained, skilled, and we do whatever it takes—robbing, stealing, destroying.”“The man Lizzy killed was sent to take us out. He murdered Ramirez and Bruce, and he wouldn’t have stopped until he succeeded.”As I spoke, I watched as Tania’s expression shift—a collision of shock and confusion. I could see her trying to piece it all together with the revelation I had just dropped. “What? This whole time?” She asked.I nodded, feeling the weight of my own words. I never wanted her to find out like this. Not like this. But there was no going back now. “I never wanted you to find out this way, but it’s the truth. There’s more, though, Tania.” I paused, grappling with the right words. How do you explain the darkest parts of yourself to so

    ZAREK We stood there for a long moment, wrapped in each other's arms, the tension and fear melting away.The tremble in Tania's shoulders stilled, and when she finally pulled back, her eyes, once clouded with tears, had cleared.“I met Lizzy recently,” she whispered. The words startled me, and I felt my pulse quicken.“Lizzy? Is she alright?” I asked, searching her face for answers.The thought of anything happening to Lizzy sent a jolt of panic through me. I needed to know if she was okay.Tania nodded, “Yes, she came here with me.”As she spoke, the tightness in my chest eased, replaced by a wave of relief. If Lizzy was with Tania, then she had to be safe.Afterwards, I noticed that she shifted her gaze to what was behind me. Her expression shifted to a mix of relief and something else.Concerned, I followed her line of sight, and turned to see Lizzy.She stood in the doorway, her eyes locked on me. She didn't seem hurt or weary. She seemed rather strong. Stronger than I remembered

    ZAREK The memory of the man on the phone lingered. Whoever he was, he felt more like a conspirator.And then there was Dr. Everett, standing before me with that unnerving calm, as if everything was perfectly under control.Something didn’t add up.“Are you even a specialist?” The question slipped out before I could stop myself.Dr. Everett’s expression turned mocking. “That’s a good question.” He leaned in, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Is the Medical Arts Building even real? Am I the real Dr. Everett?”My mind raced. The Medical Arts Building isn’t real?Confusion clouded my thoughts. “What are you talking about?”“This is all just a game,” he said with a casual shrug.“What?” I said, bewildered.Dr. Everett’s back was now turned to me as he moved towards a distant table.“Wait a minute,” I said slowly, dread creeping in. “You’re not Dr. Everett, are you?”He didn’t respond; his focus absorbed in whatever he was searching for. The metallic clinks filled the silence.Then, his l

    ZAREK The pungent smell of blood jolted me awake, making my stomach turn. I immediately started coughing uncontrollably, and blood spilt out of my mouth with each rasp.Even when I tried to push myself up, my arms barely responded, quivering under the strain.I felt weak—far weaker than usual. Had I injured myself during the transformation?I shook my head slightly, trying to recall. But the memories were hazy, blurred by pain.The only clear memory was how I had hurt Tania—or, worse, maybe even killed her.The thought hit me like a sledgehammer: my claws slicing through the air... her lifeless form.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the images, but they burned behind my eyelids, searing into my mind.I forced myself to focus, to push past the rising wave of guilt. I had to find out where I was and what had happened. But as I shifted, pain flared in my wrists, snapping me back to the present.I looked down and saw silver cuffs clamped tightly around them.Why am I cuff

    TANIA I slowly opened my eyes, only to be stabbed by a bright light that made me wince. For a moment, I lay there, trying to let my senses adjust.Taking a deep breath, I raised my head and attempted to sit up, but the effort sent the room into a dizzying swirl of colours and shapes. My strength faltered, and I fell back against the pillow, my head sinking into its softness.As I lay there, my hand instinctively moved to my cheek, where a dull ache pulsed beneath the surface. I traced the tender skin, feeling the faint ridges where claws had raked across it.The memory of that searing pain was still vivid, as was the look on Zarek's face—his eyes wild and uncontrolled, filled with a terror I had never seen before.A shudder ran through me at the thought, and my heart began to race. Despite the dizziness, I forced myself to sit up again, driven by my concern for Zarek.I needed to see him.I sat up, and slowly, the room gradually came into focus. I took in the sterile white walls
