The grand doors of Kieran’s mansion swung shut behind them with a deep, echoing thud. The crisp morning air greeted them as they stepped out onto the estate’s marble steps, sunlight glinting off the sleek black car waiting for them.

Emilia was the first to exhale, running a hand through her hair. “That was exhausting.”

Elisa didn’t respond. Her expression was unreadable, her gaze fixed on the long driveway ahead.

Liz, still shaken from the confrontation with Izzy, hovered nervously at Emilia’s side. “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

Elisa finally turned to her, arching a brow. “Are you suggesting I should’ve stayed in that office and let her keep playing her little power games over me?”

Liz shook her head quickly. “N-No, my lady. I just meant—”

“I get your point but you don’t really know, Izzy, she is cunning and would do everything to push me to an edge.” Elisa said.

“I hate her guts.” Emilia said.

“I have an idea.” Elisa said with a wide smile on her face.

“No, I am sure whatever

    Liz trailed after them, carefully balancing an absurd number of packages. “I think we bought too much.”“No,” Elisa said, reaching for the first bag. “We bought just enough.”Emilia dropped onto the couch. “That’s what a shopaholic says before they drown in fabric.”Elisa ignored her, ripping off the packaging from a sleek, black designer box. Inside, a pair of dangerously high stilettos gleamed under the soft light. She held them up, examining them with approval.Liz sat cross-legged on the floor, pulling out tissue-wrapped clothes and neatly folding them. “I still don’t understand why you bought a wedding dress.”Elisa smirked. “You’ll understand soon enough.”Emilia shot her a look. “I swear, if this is part of another insane scheme—”“It’s always part of an insane scheme,” Liz muttered under her breath.Elisa arched a brow. “What was that?”Liz quickly looked down, focused on unboxing a silk blouse. “Nothing, my lady.”Emilia snorted. “At least she’s learning.”Elisa unfolded a sl

    Liz’s lips parted, but no sound came out. She shut her mouth just as quickly.Izzy tapped her cane against the floor—sharp, precise. A warning.“You think silence will save you?” Izzy murmured, her voice dangerously soft. “Loyalty is admirable, but misplaced devotion? That’s just stupidity.”Liz clenched her fists in her lap, refusing to meet Izzy’s piercing gaze.Izzy sighed dramatically, running her fingers along the smooth wood of her cane. “Alright, then. Maybe your family will be more cooperative when they’re stripped of their place in the pack.”Liz’s head snapped up. “You wouldn’t.”Izzy smiled. “I would. And I will. One word from me, and they’ll be out in the cold like the pathetic rogues they are.”A sharp knock interrupted them. The door burst open, and Kimmelly stormed in. “My Lady, we have a problem. Elisa—”Before she could finish, a loud commotion echoed down the halls.Izzy’s eyes darkened. “What now?”Kimmelly barely had time to respond before the doors slammed open ag

    Silence fell.Kieran’s fingers tapped once against the table. Kael’s gaze flickered to him, but he remained still.Emilia scoffed. “You’re joking.”“Does it look like I’m joking?” Tobias shot back.The murmurs grew louder.For the first time, Kieran smiled.It was slow, dangerous.“You’re saying that if I remove a corrupt Luna,” he said smoothly, “I should lose my own position?”Tobias didn’t waver. “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”Kieran chuckled. “You forget something, Tobias.”Tobias raised an eyebrow.Kieran’s voice was low, calm. “I am not the one who let maids be beaten under my rule.”A few of the elders shifted uncomfortably.Izzy clenched her fists. “You’re twisting—”“Izzy,” Kieran cut in, “did or did you not allow Liz to be harmed?”Izzy’s mouth opened—then closed.She knew better than to outright deny it. There were too many witnesses.But Tobias wasn’t done. “Kieran, the pack does not belong to you alone. You rule because we allow it.”Kael’s muscles tensed slightly at t

    The crowd dispersed slowly, murmurs still hanging in the air. Some glanced back at Izzy, their faces filled with unease. Others turned to Kieran, watching, waiting.But no one spoke against it.Because no one spoke against the healer.Izzy lifted her chin, victorious, and just as she passed Elisa, she turned—And stuck out her tongue.Elisa’s entire body went rigid with fury. Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms so hard she nearly drew blood.Kieran saw it.He saw all of it.His grip on Izzy’s wrist was firm as he pulled her toward the pack house. He didn’t look back. He didn’t slow down.He didn’t have to.The silence between them stretched until he dragged her into his office and slammed the door behind them.Kieran turned on her in an instant.His eyes burned. His jaw was clenched. His hands curled into fists as if he was holding himself back from doing something he might regret.“Tell me the truth, and you must never lie to me, if you lie about being p

    “You just have a month, you will get tested in front of the pack members, everyone should see.” Kieran said.Izzy nodded understandingly. “Agreed.” Izzy stormed into the healer’s hut, her face flushed with determination. Elara, the healer, looked up from her work, eyebrows furrowing when she saw the intensity in Izzy’s eyes."I need it," Izzy demanded, her voice firm.Elara's gaze softened, but her concern was evident. "Izzy, you know it's dangerous. What you're asking for could have serious consequences."Izzy paced back and forth, trying to control her anger. “I don’t care. Kieran gave me a month to prove it. A month, Elara! I need to convince him, or he’ll never trust me again. The pack... They’ll all know we lied. And I’m not going to let that happen.”Elara sighed, shaking her head. “You don’t understand. You’re playing with fire. You’re risking your life for a lie.”“I’m not risking my life,” Izzy snapped. “I’m just trying to buy time. That’s all. Now, give me what I need.”Ela

    “I can’t risk it!” Izzy snapped, her voice rising in desperation. “I’ve already made my choice. I need to convince Kieran that I’m the one he can trust. I need to prove I’m fit to be his Luna.”Kimmelly stepped closer, her expression softening. “Izzy, listen to me. Kieran does care about you. I can see it in his eyes. But this? This is a mess. You’re going to destroy everything—him, the pack, yourself. You don’t even know what will happen when the pill wears off.”Izzy took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “I know the risks. I’ve already accepted them. I don’t care if I have to deceive everyone for a little while longer. I can handle it. I just need time.”Kimmelly shook her head slowly. “You think you can play everyone, but eventually, it’s going to catch up with you. You can’t hide behind a lie forever, Izzy. Not even with Kieran, I have been supporting you because I work with you not because I love everything you do.”Izzy’s heart twisted painfully in her chest. She had alw

    Izzy’s gaze burned into Kieran’s as she stepped closer, her voice dropping to a dangerously quiet level. “Send her away.”Kieran didn’t blink. “No.”Her fists clenched at her sides. “She’s lying.”“And if she’s not?” His voice was steady, but there was a challenge in his golden eyes. “You think I can just throw her out when she could be carrying my child?”Izzy let out a bitter laugh. “And what if she isn’t? What if this is all part of her plan?”“I won’t make decisions based on ifs,” he said, voice firm. “Not when a child’s life is on the line.”Izzy’s breath came hard and fast. This wasn’t about logic—it was about control. Kieran wanted to keep his options open, wanted to keep Elisa where he could see her. But Izzy knew better. She had fought too hard to stand by his side, and she wasn’t about to let some desperate woman snatch it away from her.“You’re making a mistake,” she bit out.Kieran’s expression darkened. “You’re still here because of Tobias.”The words landed like a slap.

    The room was silent except for the faint rustle of paper as Kieran turned the sealed envelope over in his hands. His golden eyes flickered with suspicion, the weight of leadership pressing against his shoulders. But just as he was about to break the seal, the door swung open.Izzy strode in, her expression a storm barely contained. She moved with purpose, a woman ready to strike. Without a word, Kieran slid a photograph across the desk toward her.A single image.Elisa. In a car. With Damon.Izzy’s heart slammed against her ribs as her fingers tightened around the edges of the picture.“Your omega would betray you,” she said, her voice sharp as steel.Kieran’s gaze was unreadable. “She already has.”Before Izzy could respond, the door opened again. Elisa stepped inside. She carried herself with confidence, but there was a glint of something darker in her gaze.Izzy turned, already fueled by rage. “You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?” she sneered. “Running to Damon like a pathe

    “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

    KARAMy throat burned from screaming his name.Zarek.For a second, everything went still. The cave. The cold. 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

    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 t

    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.
