Izzy stood by the window, her fingers tracing the rim of her wine glass. The flickering candlelight cast soft shadows across the room, but she barely noticed. The silence in the packhouse was louder than ever. Annie and Melisa were gone. Emilia had been chased away. Liz was dead. The teen wolves had left.

She had won.

A slow smile curled her lips.

“You’re happy now,” a voice spoke from the doorway.

Izzy turned slightly, seeing Kimmelly, her personal maid, standing there with a tray in hand. The older woman’s sharp eyes held no warmth.

Izzy’s smile didn’t falter. “I don’t know what you mean.”

Kimmelly stepped forward, placing the tray on the table. “You’ve managed to kill Elisa, drive Emilia away, and get rid of the ones who could challenge you.” She met Izzy’s gaze. “No one will disturb your position anymore.”

Izzy took a slow sip of her wine, savoring the victory. “Exactly.”

Kimmelly’s lips pressed into a thin line. “But you forget something, Izzy.”

Izzy arched a brow. “And what’s th

    “You think you’ve managed to fool the Alpha, don’t you? Don’t you think the dead would torment you?” Kimmelly asked.“What do you mean the dead?” Izzy asked.“Izzy…..” Kimmelly’s voice was steady, her steps measured as she followed Izzy into the bedroom. The door clicked shut behind them, sealing them off from the noise of the packhouse.Izzy didn’t answer. She walked toward the vanity, her fingers grazing over the smooth surface before reaching for her brush. Slowly, she pulled it through her hair, her movements unhurried. Calm. Controlled.Kimmelly wasn’t fooled.She set down the folded robes she had been carrying and crossed her arms. “You’ve fooled them today, sure. But how long do you think this will last?”Izzy met her gaze in the mirror. “It will last forever if I keep doing it and I don't give up, I don’t care how many people I have to kill to keep my position.”Kimmelly let out a short, humorless laugh. “Forever? Is that what you think?” She took a step forward. “You don’t a

    It was too early in the morning, Izzy hadn't gone out of her room, just as she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of a knock.She carefully uncovered herself with the blanket and walked towards the door, she knew it was Kimmelly.“Are you still sleeping?” Kimmelly asked.Izzy nodded “I am at peace now, I don’t have any worries.” “I know, Aria has left, Annie has left, Elisa has left, Melisa too, you managed to let all of them leave the pack.” “Am I that amazing?” Izzy asked with a wide smile.“Now what’s left of you is to get pregnant before the Alpha finds out.” Kimmelly said.“Kimmelly, we have to look for a child—a baby.” Izzy’s voice was sharp, urgent.Kimmelly didn’t blink. “My lady, you have done enough harm. You can still be forgiven.”Izzy scoffed. “Forgiven? By who? The goddess? The pack? Kieran?” She laughed bitterly. “No one forgives a woman who fails.”Kimmelly’s hands tightened into fists. “No one forgives a woman who lies.”Izzy stepped closer, lowering her voice. “T

    “Kimmelly.”Izzy’s voice was quiet, almost thoughtful, but Kimmelly knew better. She knew that tone. It was the same voice Izzy used when she was deciding how to ruin someone.Kimmelly’s stomach churned. “Leave Mia alone.”Izzy tilted her head, amused. “What makes you think I’d do anything?”Kimmelly scoffed. “Because I know you.” She stepped closer, lowering her voice. “She’s just a woman, Izzy. A normal, happy woman. Let her be.”Izzy sighed, shaking her head. “You always think the worst of me.”Kimmelly’s jaw tightened. “Because you are the worst.”Izzy laughed, a quiet, sharp sound. “Oh, Kimmelly. If you’re so disgusted by me, why are you still here?”Kimmelly clenched her fists. She had asked herself that question a hundred times.Maybe it was because she had been with Izzy for so long. Maybe it was because, no matter how much she wanted to walk away, she couldn’t shake the feeling that someone needed to stop her.Izzy turned back toward Mia, watching as the woman walked away, he

    “Mia is going to give birth to a boy in two months,” Izzy said, her voice filled with excitement.Kimmelly’s stomach turned. “And you’re planning to take the baby?”Izzy smirked, swirling the wine in her glass. “Of course. That was my plan all along.”Kimmelly inhaled sharply. “You’re not going to do that, why would you raise another person’s child, the child is not of the Alpha’s bloodline, you are going to implicate yourself once he finds out he could kill you.”Izzy took a slow sip, eyes gleaming over the rim of her glass. “Kimmelly.” She sighed like she was dealing with a child. “You know me better than that, I am one step ahead of everybody.”“That’s exactly the problem.”Izzy set her glass down, standing from the vanity chair. “Mia doesn’t deserve this, she trusted me, she shouldn’t have told me she is pregnant. That baby—he belongs to someone who actually understands power, that’s a boy, Kimmelly, and I need a boy more than anyone.”Kimmelly shook her head. “No. I won’t let you

    Izzy glared at the food on the dining table. “We are good, I just received a call, I have to attend something important back home.” And then they left.The maid walked towards Mia as they watched Izzy’s car drive off. “They didn’t wait.” “They were lucky they didn’t wait, they would be dead by now.” Mia said with a sly smile.The maid smirked.“Does she know that you are a vampire?” The maid asked.“We have been friends for years, and we departed, I heard she is now the Luna of the wolf pack, that seems like a great accomplishment.” Mia said.“I was told Izzy is evil but never had a child once.” The maid said.“Look more into her.” Mia ordered.The maid nodded, and it turns out she isn’t an ordinary maid, she is a vampire.That night, Izzy sat alone in her room, staring at the mirror.Her fingers tingle.Her skin still burned from where she had touched the child.Something was wrong.Something inside her was changing.And then I heard a knock on the door, it was Kieran.“You have be

    Mia’s dark eyes gleamed in the dim candlelight. She leaned against the armrest of her grand chair, fingers tapping idly against the polished wood. The scent of aged books, dried blood, and something metallic lingered in the air. The room was unsettling—portraits of long-dead vampires stared down from the walls, and in the far corner, a collection of old weapons hung like trophies.Izzy took a slow breath, schooling her expression. She wasn’t here to flinch.“Sit.”Mia’s voice was smooth, confident. She gestured to the chair across from her.Izzy didn’t move immediately. She wasn’t stupid—this was a game, and Mia had already set the board. Still, she sat.Kimmelly remained standing near the door, arms crossed, eyes flicking over every inch of the room like she was memorizing an escape route.Mia tilted her head. “You look tense.”Izzy smirked. “You underestimate me, Mia.”Mia smiled. Then, in a blink, she wasn’t sitting anymore—she was right beside Izzy, her cold fingers brushing light

    Izzy barely made it past the gates of the pack’s mansion before her legs wobbled. Her vision blurred for a second, and she clenched her jaw, forcing herself to keep moving.Kimmelly noticed. “Izzy—”“I’m fine,” Izzy muttered.“You look like you’re about to drop dead.”Izzy didn’t argue. She wouldn’t win. Kimmelly grabbed her arm, pulling her through the entrance. The familiar scent of home wrapped around them—pinewood, the faint smell of burning firewood, and something comforting beneath it all. But Izzy couldn’t feel any of it.Her skin burned like something inside her was trying to crawl its way out.Kimmelly led her to her room, shutting the door behind them.“Don’t you think you have to let Kieran know?” she asked, arms crossed.Before Izzy could respond, the door swung open.Kieran.His gaze swept over Izzy in an instant, eyes sharp. “What do I have to know?”“Nothing,” Izzy said quickly.Kieran’s jaw twitched. “Still won’t ask me for help?”Izzy exhaled sharply. “Why do I have t

    The room was thick with tension.Mia lounged in her chair, legs crossed, swirling her wine like she had all the time in the world. Kieran stood at the entrance, arms loose at his sides, but the sharpness in his eyes made it clear—he wasn’t here to play.“What can we give you aside from what you are asking for?” Kimmelly asked, her voice barely above a whisper“I still want the Lunar Oath,” Mia repeated, tilting her head. “Do you have it or not?”Silence.Izzy felt the weight of Kimmelly’s stare. Kieran’s presence loomed behind her, steady, unmoving.Izzy swallowed hard. “No we don’t.”Mia clicked her tongue, her expression barely shifting. “That’s disappointing and you think you won’t die?.”Kieran stepped forward, slow and deliberate. “The Lunar oath should never be an option for a vampire, you know how important it is, ask us another thing, we don’t have it with us and we can’t leave without the cure.”Mia’s gaze flicked to him, amusement dancing in her eyes. “And yet, here you are,

    “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

    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
