The room was dead silent. The only sound was the ragged breathing of the witch as she trembled on the floor, her wide, unseeing eyes glowing with an eerie light.

Kieran’s fingers curled into fists, his voice sharp. “What the hell are you talking about?”

Mark stepped forward cautiously, his jaw tight. “The true queen? What does that mean?”

The witch let out a choked gasp, her body convulsing before she slammed her palm against the ground. Her breath came in shallow, rapid gulps. Then, as if something invisible forced the words out of her, she whispered, “The rightful Alpha. The one who was never meant to die.”

A chill swept through the room.

Kieran’s mind raced. “Who is she?”

The witch shook her head violently. “I don’t know! I don’t see faces—only shadows and blood. But she’s coming, and when she does, everything you built will burn.”

She let out a strangled cry before her body went limp.

Silence.

Then—

Mark exhaled. “Shit.”

Kieran’s stare was cold, calculating. “Take her out of here.

    "You called for me?" Aria’s voice was steady, but her heart pounded as she stepped into the dimly lit study.The room smelled of aged wood, leather, and something distinctly him—Alpha Kieran. The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting flickering shadows against the walls.Kieran didn’t waste a second. The moment she was inside, he strode past her and locked the door with a quiet click.Aria stiffened. "Why did you lock the door?"Kieran turned, his piercing silver eyes locking onto hers. "Because I am about to say something that should only stay between us."A lump formed in Aria’s throat. She wasn’t sure what she’d expected when he summoned her, but this felt... different."Come here," he said.She hesitated."Now, Aria."Swallowing, she forced her feet to move, stopping a few steps away from him. She kept her hands clasped in front of her, her posture straight, respectful. She was only a maid. Standing this close to the Alpha felt... wrong."Do you know why I called you?" Kiera

    "If Izzy isn’t Kieran’s true mate, why are they still together? And what if the banished Luna was his true mate?"The younger witch’s voice was barely above a whisper, but it carried in the heavy silence of the den.Elara didn’t look up from her herbs and then she smirked "I guess they both don’t know. And no one is ready to hear the truth, and lastly the former Luna was never Kieran's true mate."The girl shifted uncomfortably. "But if she isn’t his mate... then she can never give him a pup.""Exactly." Elara crushed a dried root between her fingers, letting the dust fall into the bowl. "No magic in the world can change that, even if she wants to force it, she will end up endangering her life and the pup's life."The younger witch frowned. "Then who is Kieran’s true mate?"A slow, knowing smile spread across Elara’s lips. "Well…..who knows but she had just arrived."—Izzy stormed through the mansion doors, her anger barely contained. She moved fast, ignoring the greetings of the se

    “He is here, Alpha,” Mark said.Alpha nodded slightly and gestured for them to come in.And then, the old man walked in.“I am glad you came,” Kieran said.“This is an honor, Alpha. A true honor.”The old man’s voice was steady, filled with reverence as he bowed slightly, his gray hair falling over his forehead. His name was Hector—one of the eldest in the pack, a man who had seen countless moons and battles.Across the room, Alpha Kieran stood tall, his gaze cold and unwavering. His presence alone commanded silence, but his words carried weight far heavier than his stance.“I want Elisa.”Hector lifted his head, meeting the Alpha’s piercing gaze. There was no hesitation, no protest—only a slow, knowing smile.“She is yours,all yours Alpha” he said simply.“You didn’t even try to ask me why?” Alpha Kieran said.Hector smirked and leaned back on his chair. “She is destined to become the Alpha’s omega.”“I don’t cherish Omega's,” Alpha Kieran said.“If she could give birth to a son, she

    “Elisa.”The voice was deep, steady, and commanding. It didn’t need to be loud to carry weight.Elisa’s hands were still clenched at her sides as she turned, her eyes burning with defiance. Kieran stood in the doorway of her new room in the packhouse, leaning against the frame like he had all the time in the world.She didn’t know how long he had been watching her.“I told you to be ready,” he said simply.Elisa swallowed hard. The room was grand—too grand. The bed was massive, covered in deep red sheets, the kind that looked expensive. She had no idea why she even noticed that detail, but maybe it was because everything about this situation felt so… surreal.“I didn’t agree to this,” she said, her voice cold.Kieran’s lips twitched, but it wasn’t a smile. “You didn’t have to.”She exhaled sharply. “I don’t belong to you.”“You do now.”The certainty in his voice sent a chill through her, and when he stepped forward, she instinctively took a step back. His eyes flickered slightly, amu

    Elisa woke up in the morning and Alpha Kieran wasn't by her side, he had probably left very early. Elisa was about to uncover herself with the blanket when she heard the door flung open, it was Izzy, before she could react.Water. All over her body and her bed.The cold hit Elisa like a slap.She gasped, body jolting upright as icy water drenched her, soaking her hair, her skin, the sheets beneath her. The shock stole her breath, and for a second, all she could do was blink against the droplets clinging to her lashes.Laughter. Sharp, cruel, and cutting."Look at her," Izzy sneered. "Still acting like she's important."Elisa wiped the water from her face, her heartbeat pounding in her ears. She forced herself to look up, to meet the mocking eyes of the woman standing at the foot of the bed.Izzy.Kieran’s Luna.Draped in silk, her makeup perfect despite the late hour, Izzy held herself like a queen surveying filth. Her lips curled in satisfaction as she handed the empty bucket back

    The room was damp, the air thick with dust and decay. Cobwebs clung to the corners, shadowy strands stretching like the hands of ghosts. Elisa sat on the hard, uneven floor, her wrists aching from where the guards had thrown her. The stench of mold filled her nostrils, but she refused to let it bother her. She refused to let them win.The door creaked open.A young woman stepped inside, a tray in her hands. Her dark curls framed a delicate face, wide brown eyes flickering with hesitation. Emilia.Elisa had seen her before—a quiet maid who kept to herself. Now, she stood in front of her, uncertain, shifting the tray in her grip.“My Lady,” Emilia said softly, her gaze darting to the bruises forming along Elisa’s arms. “Alpha Kieran sent me to tend to you.”Elisa exhaled, pushing away the sting of her injuries. “You don’t have to call me that.”Emilia hesitated but nodded. “I brought you water and food.”Before Elisa could respond, another set of footsteps echoed in the hallway.The sce

    “Walk,” he ordered.Elisa wrenched her arm, but he didn’t release her. He turned to Emilia. “You—go back before they realize you’re gone. If Izzy asks about her anytime she sees you, say i took her.”Emilia hesitated, her wide brown eyes darting between them. Then she gave a small nod. “Be careful,” she whispered.Kieran didn’t wait. He pulled Elisa forward, dragging her through the dim corridor. The stone walls smelled of damp rot, the torches flickering weakly against the cold.Elisa kept pace but didn’t stop resisting. “If you think I’m just going to—”Kieran shoved open a door, pulling her into a larger hall. Guards stood stationed along the walls, watching them but saying nothing.Izzy had power, but Kieran had authority.For now.“Kieran,” a voice called smoothly.They both froze.Izzy stood ahead, her silk gown pristine, her golden hair cascading over one shoulder. Behind her, Kimmelly stood at attention, her face unreadable.“What do you think you’re doing?” Izzy’s lips curled

    She stepped forward, draped in her usual elegance, her silk gown trailing behind her as if she were walking through a ballroom instead of a battlefield. Her golden hair gleamed under the torchlight, her eyes glinting with amusement.“I didn’t expect you here this late, Alpha Damon,” she purred.Kieran turned his gaze to her, unreadable.Izzy gestured toward the grand doors leading to the main hall. “Shall we sit? No need for bloodshed in the hallways.”For a moment, neither Kieran nor Damon moved. The tension was razor-sharp, but Izzy simply smiled, waiting.Damon was the first to move. With a casual shrug, he stepped forward, his men falling in line behind him. Kieran exhaled through his nose, then, without releasing Elisa, followed.The grand hall was dimly lit, the long wooden table at its center adorned with goblets of untouched wine. It was a place for war councils, not pleasant meals.Izzy took her seat first, folding her hands gracefully on the table. Damon sat next, his moveme

    “She wasn’t always like that,” Leo snapped. “You didn’t see the version of her I did.”“I saw enough,” Zarek said. “And I made the call no one else would.”“You made the call,” Leo repeated, voice quiet now. “You didn’t hesitate. You didn’t even try to talk to me.”“What would I have said?” Zarek’s voice rose now, the calm breaking. “That the woman you loved planned to turn half the supernatural world into slaves and the other half into corpses? That she used you as a weapon and you didn’t even realize it?”“I did realize it,” Leo said, fists clenching. “Too late. But I did.”“And what would you have done?”Leo met his eyes. “I would’ve stopped her myself.”Zarek’s breath hitched for half a second.“I loved her,” Leo continued, his voice cracking. “But I loved you too. And I hated you for making me choose between the two.”“I didn’t give you a choice,” Zarek said.“No, you didn’t.” Leo’s voice was calm now, too calm. “You gave the order, then buried me like I was the one who started a

    Micah stepped out of the trees slowly, hands at his sides, not threatening. He looked older now, more tired, but the sharp edge of sarcasm hadn’t dulled in his voice.“I’d say I missed you, but that’d be a lie.” Micah gave a half shrug. “You look like hell, by the way.”Leo let out a dry chuckle. “That’s because I’ve been there.”Micah studied him in silence for a moment. “You don’t look like him anymore. The Leo we knew.”Leo finally looked over his shoulder. “That Leo died in a pit and crawled out a vampire.”“You crawled out something, alright,” Micah said. “But I don’t think it’s too late.”“I do,” Leo said. “I should’ve died down there. Would’ve made things easier for everyone.”“But you didn’t.”“Yeah. I didn’t.” Leo turned, his eyes darker now, but no longer glowing. “And now what? You’re here to convince me to come back to the pack? Ask for forgiveness? Be the brother again?”“I’m not here to convince you of anything,” Micah said simply. “I’m here because I wanted to see for m

    KARAThe moment we stepped out of the woods, Leo vanished. One second he was there—forehead still resting against mine, fingers wrapped around mine like he was afraid of letting go—and the next, gone like smoke in moonlight.I stood there for a second, staring into the trees, not sure if I’d imagined it all. But my heart was still racing. My wrist still bore the shape of his grip. And my mind—my mind was full of things I didn’t know how to say out loud.We returned to the packhouse in silence. Delilah flanked me on one side, her expression carved in steel. Aria moved behind us, not saying a word. I could feel their eyes on me, like they were waiting for me to fall apart. I didn’t.Linda was already waiting on the porch, arms crossed, brows pinched with worry. She didn’t ask questions. She just looked at me—and somehow, she already knew.Inside the packhouse, Zarek was pacing the length of the main hall like a caged animal. The moment he saw us, he stopped. His eyes scanned me, then De

    KARALeo didn’t flinch. His eyes locked on mine, feral, glowing faintly gold under the moon. But this was not the Leo we knew. Not anymore. Something inside him was wrong—off. He was supposed to be dead. Buried. Gone.And yet, there he stood. Breathing. Smirking.Delilah edged closer beside me, her voice low. “He shouldn’t be alive. We saw him die.”“Then we buried the wrong body,” I whispered.Leo’s gaze shifted. “Touching reunion. Too bad it won’t last.”I stepped forward. “Let go. Zarek loves you. He did everything to save you.”Leo laughed—harsh, broken. “Save me? He killed the one I loved.”“That girl,” I said, voice firm, “wanted to destroy the world.”“You don’t know what love is,” Leo spat.“And you don’t know what she was planning,” I shot back. “She used you, Leo. You were her puppet.”He flinched. Just for a second.“I don’t care,” he said, voice lower now, bitter. “I would’ve burned everything for her.”“And she would’ve let you.”“I chose her.”“No. You followed her. That

    “You heard what?” Kieran asked, turning sharply.Izzy’s hand trembled, the silver wine goblet clinking against the table. “Leo is dead.”The words hung heavy in the hall, louder than the music playing in the background, louder than the laughter echoing from the guests.Mark straightened from where he was tying the last of the birthday banners. “Are you sure?”Izzy nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “It was her. Kara did it.”Kieran’s jaw tensed. “Of course she did.”“But today is—” Izzy glanced around. “Today is Ronan’s birthday. We don’t need this now.”“Doesn’t matter,” Mark muttered. “If Kara killed Leo, she won’t stop there.”“She's coming, isn't she?” Kieran asked, looking toward the window.Izzy’s silence was the only answer he needed.They didn’t invite the Golden Wolf Pack. Kara wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near their borders. But somehow, deep down, Kieran knew she was already on her way.The music played louder now. Guests were arriving, exchanging gifts, and laughi

Even Leo.He tilted his head slightly, like he’d heard it too.“Still clinging to hope?” he asked.I spat at his feet. “You should be afraid.”Leo chuckled, slow and cold. “Your mate’s too late. He always is.”The hooded woman dragged me forward, but I yanked my arm back, digging my heels into the stone floor. “I swear, Leo, if you do this—”He stepped forward and pressed two fingers to my lips. “Shh.”I bit him.Hard.His blood hit my tongue like fire. I spit it out and shoved him with both hands. “Touch me again and I’ll kill you.”He looked stunned for a second… then smiled. “That’s more like it.”I turned to run. Anywhere. Anywhere but toward the altar glowing with red sigils and cursed candles.The woman caught me by the hair.Pain shot down my spine as she yanked me back. “You’ll walk, or I’ll break your legs and drag you.”“I’m not afraid of you,” I hissed.“You should

    KARA"I told you, you will be my queen,” Leo said without looking back, his voice cold and indifferent. “But don’t expect mercy.”“Leo, I would never—”My voice caught.Everything around me cracked and warped. The blood, the stone floor, Izzy’s lifeless body—all of it shattered like glass.And I jolted upright, heart hammering.My breaths came in sharp gasps, my hands clutching the bedsheet like it was my only lifeline. My skin was damp with sweat, and the room was dark, except for the pale moonlight pouring in through the window. The scent of cedar and pine filled the air, grounding me. I blinked, trying to make sense of where I was.A warm hand slid across my back.“Kara?” came a deep voice, groggy but concerned.I turned my head slowly. Zarek. He was here. His brows were furrowed, eyes still foggy from sleep. But alive. Breathing. Real.“Oh goddess…” I whispered, voice cracking.Before he could speak, I flung myself into his arms. My body trembled as I clung to him, burying my face

    KARAI knelt on the cold stone floor, feeling the weight of every breath I took. My body trembled, but it wasn’t from the cold. No, it was something far deeper. A sense of loss, of devastation, surged within me. Zarek was dead. The love of my life, the Lycan King, was gone, and now… I was alone.The wolves outside howled in mourning, their voices echoing through the darkened night. They were lost too, leaderless and broken. The sound shook the very foundation of the packhouse, and I couldn’t breathe through the crushing weight of it all. I couldn’t think.Delilah was dead. My closest friend. My protector. She had died for me, and there was nothing I could do to bring her back. The memory of her frantic attempts to save Zarek, of her rage, of her scream that had shattered my soul, replayed in my mind over and over.And now Leo stood before me, his presence as cold as the grave. He had destroyed everything.“I will take care of her,” Izzy’s voice cut through the silence, sending a chill

    KARAI sat in my study, staring at the open book on my desk, but the words blurred together. My hands felt cold, my body oddly light. The exhaustion had been creeping in for days, but today, it was worse.A soft knock came at the door before Linda stepped inside, a small tray in her hands.“You haven’t taken your medicine today,” she said, setting the tray down. Her sharp eyes scanned my face, her brow furrowing. “Kara, why do you look so pale?”I blinked at her, confusion flickering in my mind. “I look pale?”Linda turned to Delilah, who had followed her in. “She looks pale, right?”Delilah crossed her arms, concern etching into her face. “Pale and lean. You don’t look good.”I forced a smile, trying to ease their worry. “Maybe it’s just the pregnancy hormones.”Linda knelt beside me, her fingers pressing against my wrist as she checked my pulse. “Your heartbeat is steady. The baby’s fine.” She looked up at me, eyes narrowing. “Then why aren’t you eating?”I hesitated. I had been eat
