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

    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

    KARAAnd we all walked away before Zarek could notice.We reached the mansion, and Liz approached me with a cautious expression.“You have a visitor,” she said.“A visitor?” My voice barely rose above a whisper.Liz nodded.I stepped into the pack hall and settled onto the chair with Linda, Liz, Aria, and Delilah by my side. The moment I looked up, I saw a woman standing at the entrance, dressed in simple robes.A monk.My brows furrowed. “A monk?”The woman stepped forward, her head bowing slightly in respect. “Luna.”I studied her carefully. She was older, her face lined with age and sorrow. Something about her presence unsettled me.“How may I help you?” I asked.She lifted her gaze, eyes filled with something that looked dangerously close to fear. “I came here to tell you a secret, Luna.”A chill ran down my spine. “What secret?”Her voice was steady, but there was an urgency in her tone. “It’s about Izzy, the Lycan King’s sister.”At that, I rose to my feet and took a step closer

    KARAThe Lycan King was carried in, his body limp, a pool of blood staining the floor beneath him. His death had shaken everyone in the room to the core, but the show must go on. The celebration continued, albeit with heavy hearts.Zarek stood by the throne, eyes blank, as the pack members murmured amongst themselves. “Zarek,” one of them said, “You should stay. You’re next in line now.”I watched him for a moment, but he didn’t show any sign of grief, only cold determination.“I’ll help,” I said quietly, stepping toward him.He didn’t respond. Instead, he just nodded, his gaze distant.Later, after the body had been bathed and the mansion was in disarray, we all gathered in the main hall for the next phase. The air was thick with anticipation.Linda glanced at Zarek, her voice quiet but curious. “Never knew your father was the king.”Zarek forced a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “This mansion, everything here… it’s all yours now.”No one smiled back. His words felt hollow, and

    KARAIzzy’s voice was raw with rage, her eyes burning with fury as she stood at the gates of the Golden Wolf Pack.Delilah didn’t move, her posture relaxed, almost bored. “And?” she said flatly.Izzy’s hands curled into fists. “Let me in,” she demanded, her voice shaking.“No,” Delilah replied simply.Izzy let out a sharp breath and moved to shove past her—only to be met with a firm grip. Delilah caught her wrist effortlessly, twisting it just enough to make Izzy stumble. And then, without hesitation, she shoved Izzy back.Hard.Izzy hit the ground, her palms scraping against the dirt. Her head snapped up, her expression livid.“How dare you!” she shouted.Delilah smirked. “How dare you come here and make demands?”And then I stepped out.Izzy’s eyes locked onto me, hatred pouring from her gaze like venom. Without thinking, she lunged.I didn’t flinch.Delilah moved first. She caught Izzy’s wrist mid-air before the slap could land, her grip like steel. With one sharp motion, she wrenc

    Delilah stepped out of Zarek’s room and walked straight to the balcony, where she saw me.Her eyes, once filled with contempt, held something else now. Something unfamiliar.“I used to hate you,” she said suddenly. “But now, I like you.”Before I could respond, she grabbed my shoulders and gave me a firm shake. Then, just as quickly, she turned on her heel and walked away.Linda spotted her at the gate. “Where are you going?”Delilah didn’t stop. Her voice was calm, yet laced with cold determination. “To kill Kimmelly. Let me start from there.”Linda’s eyes widened. She stepped forward to block her path. “Delilah, wait—”Delilah’s head snapped up. Her brown eyes darkened, glowing like molten gold. “Don’t try to stop me.” Her voice was low, threatening.Linda hesitated.Delilah didn’t.She pulled out her phone and dialed Kimmelly’s number.“I know how to kill Kara,” she said when Kimmelly answered. “Meet me in the woods. Far from the pack. Alone.”A pause. Then Kimmelly’s eager voice.

    KARA“You think I forgot? The way you controlled fire back there,” Aria said, stepping into the infirmary where I was checking on the wounded warriors.I smirked but didn’t respond.“So you’ve been hiding it for years,” she continued, crossing her arms.I nodded and then turned my gaze to her, my smirk fading. “Something is wrong with Zarek.” My voice was firm, steady.Aria frowned. “How?”“There’s this pill he always takes. I need to find out what it does.”Aria hesitated, her brows knitting together in thought. “The day Zarek slept in your room, I saw Izzy walk into his office with a bottle of pills. We crossed paths, and she dropped it. I didn’t think much of it then, but now…”My stomach twisted. “What color was the bottle?”“A white bottle,” she said immediately.We both froze. I turned to her, my heart hammering. “Was Zarek’s pill changed?”Neither of us needed to answer that.I spun on my heel and rushed back to Zarek’s quarters, my pulse pounding in my ears. I didn’t barge in—

    KARA“You can’t come with me,” Zarek said, his voice final as he turned to leave.My blood simmered. What does he mean I can’t?I stepped forward, grabbing his wrist. “Zarek, watch me.”His golden eyes snapped to mine, irritation flashing across his face. “Kara, don’t be stubborn. This isn’t your fight, it’s my responsibility. I am the Alpha.”I scoffed. “Not my fight? The pack is under attack. My pack. My new home and it’s attacked by your sister and Kieran, anything that involves Kieran,count me in, I can’t wait to destroy him. So please don’t tell me to stay behind like some helpless Luna.”He exhaled sharply, jaw tightening. “You—”The study doors burst open again. Aria and Liz rushed inside, their faces tense.“This is bad,” Aria panted. “The northern border is drenched in blood. Our warriors are falling.”My heart pounded. “Then we need to go now.” I said heading forward but then Liz dragged me back.Liz shook her head. “No, Kara. You can’t go.”I shot her a sharp glare. “And wh

    KARAI sat behind the large oak desk, the scent of fresh paper and ink filling my Luna office. My fingers traced the grain of the wood absently as I stared at the documents in front of me, but my mind was elsewhere.The door swung open without a knock.Izzy.She strolled in like she owned the place, her movements smooth, confident. She stopped in front of my desk, her sharp eyes scanning my face.“You actually lost your memories?” she asked, tilting her head slightly.I smiled, keeping my expression neutral. “I’m sorry I had to trouble you like that, sister-in-law. My apologies.”Izzy’s lips twitched upward, but the smile never reached her eyes. Without a word, she placed a small black box in front of me.“A gift,” she said.I hesitated before reaching for it. The moment my fingers brushed the lid, something cold and unsettling crawled up my spine.I opened it.Inside, nestled in dark velvet, was a pendant—a silver wolf encased in a delicate frame.At first glance, it was beautiful.
