Diana Leaving that house felt like breaking free from chains, even though I knew I wasn’t free. My mind raced with the absurdity of agreeing to help those vile creatures. How had I let them push me into this? I hated myself for even pretending to comply. There was no way I’d ever betray Asher, but now, I had to figure out how to escape this mess without raising suspicion. I’d dodged the women’s ritual, but stealing a critical document from Asher’s office was a different beast entirely.Eddie, with his sickeningly sweet smile, offered to walk me home. I mustered a smile, thanking him. It took every ounce of self-control not to tell him to rot in hell. But I had decided to stop challenging him outright. I had to be strategic and act like I was on their side. If I could gather enough evidence to expose them, I could beat them at their own game. So, I let Eddie take my hand, even though the touch made my skin crawl.We walked in silence for a while. Then, out of nowhere, he veered off th

Diana The Harvest Thanksgiving Festival was in full swing. The open field was alive with movement, encircled by forests and lit by the glow of a bonfire at its center. Wooden tables groaned under the weight of seasonal offerings pumpkins, apples, and freshly baked bread—while children’s laughter rang out as they raced through a hay bale maze. Lanterns swayed gently from branches, casting light across the pack gathered in their finest.I sat with Josh on my lap. His hand was sticky from the honeyed cake he devoured. My heart raced with the weight of Eddie's evil plan, but I kept calm, focusing instead on Josh as he fed me a crumb.The scent of venison and spiced cider mingled with the crispness of the autumn air. I glanced up and spotted Lisa in the distance. She didn't seem like the subdued, broken woman I had seen before. She looked radiant, with a smile lighting up her face as she approached me. She bowed slightly, her eyes glinting with gratitude.“I took your advice,” Lisa said s

Asher The festival felt like it had dragged on for an eternity. I couldn’t wait for it to end. Every time I glanced at the spot where Lila had been sitting with the boys, a pang of impatience hit me. She’d left hours ago with them, and the second she was gone, my interest in this whole affair evaporated. It was all grating at this point.But I couldn’t cut it short. People were enjoying themselves, celebrating the pack’s prosperity, and who was I to ruin their night? So, I stayed, plastering a smile on my face while holding a glass of wine that I refused to drink. Eddie kept circling me like a vulture, pouring drinks into everyone’s cups, insisting I take more.“Come on, Asher,” he said, his grin wide as he nudged my arm. “What’s the matter with you tonight? Since when did the king become such a lightweight?”I chuckled and took another slow sip from the glass I’d been nursing for the last hour. The truth was, this was one of my favorite wines, aged to perfection, with a rich, velvet

Diana The weekend passed without seeing Eddie, and I couldn’t have been more relieved. It felt like I could finally breathe, like a temporary dark cloud had lifted. The plan to deceive him with a fake document was still fresh in my mind, but his absence made my worry seem unnecessary. I wasn’t going to waste energy thinking about him unless he reappeared.Meanwhile, Asher was his usual self, showering me with love and spoiling me. He was so attentive that it felt like I was living a dream. I could have stayed wrapped up in his affection all day, but reality didn’t allow it. The boys were set to resume school on Monday, and I wanted everything to be perfect for their first day.After breakfast, I decided to take a trip to the pack's central district supermarket to pick up school supplies for the boys. Usually, the nanny or one of the maids would handle it, but I wanted to do it myself. I needed the break from the castle, and driving through the pack lands felt liberating.Once I arriv

DianaEddie's voice sliced through the silence like a sharp blade as he leaned in close, glaring at me with hatred.“You better quit playing these little games, Lila,” he hissed. “Get that fucking document, or I'll make sure your charade comes crashing down.”Lifting my head, I gave him the performance he wanted. I hid my fists behind my back, but I kept my eyes wide and forced a shaky breath.“I...I will,” I stammered, holding the perfect picture of intimidation. Inside, I was so close to strangling him.Satisfied, he stepped back, and his smile widened. “Good. Make sure you do, because if Asher finds out what you've been up to before I tell him, it will be your neck on the line, not mine.”Turning on his heel, his boots echoed against the floor as he walked away. I waited until he disappeared around the corner before exhaling the breath I didn’t realize I was holding. My shoulders sagged as I leaned against the wall.Girl, you are playing with fire, and it's only a matter of time be

Diana It had been two blissful, Eddie-free days. The air around me felt lighter and less suffocating, and his absence gave me joy. I did not miss the negativity—so potent it could sour milk—that oozed from his presence, and frankly, I wouldn’t mind if he disappeared for good like his lover.I was brushing my hair and mentally cataloging the few moments of peace I had left when a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. A servant entered, bowing.“Your Highness, the king requests your presence at the council meeting in the garden.”“Thanks, I’ll be there shortly.”She nodded and left, and I scrutinized my reflection in the mirror. A touch of blush and a swipe of lipstick later, I looked the part of a queen.The council meetings were always formal, and Asher insisted I attend today. By the time I reached the garden, the members were already seated around the long table. I dipped my head respectfully, offering a soft, “Good afternoon, everyone.”One of the older members, a thin man wi

Asher’s POVLeaning against the doorframe of our bedroom, I watched Lila from a distance. She sat on the edge of the bed, completely absorbed in a book she held close to her face. Her eyes darted across the pages like she was racing against time.The moment she sensed my presence, her reaction was immediate. She slammed the book shut, stuffed it into the middle of a larger hardcover on the nightstand, and smiled.“What were you reading? An erotic book?”She threw her head back and burst into loud laughter. “You’re so silly.”My gaze lingered on the book she had just buried, and a flicker of doubt crept into my thoughts. I didn’t press her. If I’d learned anything from our marriage, it was that I had to learn to trust her again. But trust wasn’t easy when betrayal had already cracked into our foundation.Especially because, earlier, Eddie had leaned casually against my table while we were balancing the pack accounts. I noticed a smirk plastered across his face as though he’d been hande

Diana The moment Asher’s hazel eyes locked onto mine, I knew I was playing a dangerous game. My heart pounded, but I forced a sultry smile, leaning closer and brushing my hip against his thigh. If he suspected anything, I needed to distract him—and fast.“Can I ask you a question?” I murmured, tilting my head as if I didn’t already know I was walking a thin line.His lips curled into a playful smirk, but his eyes glinted with curiosity. “I hope it’s not one of those questions that put me on the spot.”I tried to laugh lightly, but it came out a bit forced. “Well, that depends on how you see it.” I draped my legs over his, letting my fingers trace lazy circles on his chest. “Was there anyone in the picture before me?”His brow furrowed for a moment, and I cursed myself internally. Of course, Lila would already know if there had been anyone. I was grasping at straws, desperate to test the waters, and it was painfully obvious. I immediately backpedaled.“You know what? Never mind. I don

Diana Asher and I watched Lila storm off in a rage to the other wing of the house. I sighed and turned to face Asher. He pulled me closer to himself, and I sniffed his breath."Have you been drinking?"He shrugged. Our eyes locked, and I wondered why he was so calm about everything. I knew it was his way of handling situations, but after seeing the state of things outside, it was hard to believe he wasn't affected. I trusted Asher, knowing that he understood the weight of this crisis. I just wanted it all to be over."Are you okay?" he asked, rubbing my belly before pressing a kiss to my neck, right where he had marked me. A shiver ran through me, but pleasure was the last thing on my mind when everything around us was falling apart."Are you okay?" I asked him back, watching his face carefully. He smiled, took my hand, and led me to the balcony."I'm on house arrest," he said, as if it was some kind of joke."It's not funny," I muttered, pulling away slightly when he tried to hold m

Asher Darkness clung to me like a living thing, wrapping around my chest like an iron vice. My heart burned with hatred at the injustice of it all.Some of these foolish packmates—people I had protected and fought for—were now standing in the streets, cheering for the coup. They had claimed to be dissatisfied with my government, even though it had been the most peaceful reign in over a century.Eddie and his vagabond uncle had introduced crime, lawlessness, and corruption. They had brought gangs into the kingdom, allowing them to run wild, unchecked, turning my lands into their personal playground of chaos.And yet—the people cheered for them.The same people who had benefited from my leadership. The ones who had walked my streets in peace. The ones whose children had been safe under my rule.It made me sick.I mobilized military units, armed vehicles, and trusted men, making sure every key location was secured. But the opposition was growing. They had spent years planting their seed

Diana Vera drove in silence. She wasn’t the type to shy away from speaking her mind, but I could tell she felt guilty about what she had said earlier. Maybe she thought she had been too harsh and direct in telling me that I was a source of danger to her family. But in retrospect, there was nothing wrong with what she had said—she was right.I was about to become a mother. I loved Jaden and Josh as if they were my own, and the last thing I would ever want was to put them in harm’s way. I knew that the moment Eddie set his sights on me, he would kill me without a second thought.“Getting worked up over what you said is funny, you know,” I said lightly, smiling as I turned to look at her. The car bounced slightly as we navigated the dirt road, heading toward the highway.Vera exhaled a sigh, her eyes locked on the road ahead. “You don’t deserve this. To think you’re even pregnant… What if you hadn’t gotten through to anyone? You could have lost the baby. I don’t like that you’re all alo

DianaI paced around the house, bored and restless. I had cleaned the kitchen and rearranged the cushions on the couch, but none of it filled the emptiness that lingered inside me. The house felt like a beautiful cage.My fingers trailed along the edge of the windowsill at the front window, and I gazed out, hoping for some distraction. All I could see was the tall iron gate standing like a wall between me and the world outside. I sighed deeply, my breath fogging up the glass. I just wished Asher could come today. I missed him more than I could put into words. I missed the boys as well. Thinking about them gave me a bittersweet sensation.I wandered into the kitchen, opening the fridge door and staring at the shelves. Then I grabbed a glass of water to drink. The house felt too quiet. I wondered what was happening at the castle right now. Were the elders rallying behind Asher? Were there whispers in the halls about the coup and the traitors? I closed my eyes, picturing it all. Asher wo

Asher I stepped into the house feeling several pounds lighter, which was the effect of being with Diana. She had such a beautiful name, and even though Lila’s name was beautiful as well, perhaps it was their personalities that made Diana’s more radiant. In a good mood, I whistled quietly and ascended the stairs. The house was quiet, and I thought the kids were asleep until I heard the unmistakable sound of sobbing. My good mood evaporated instantly, and I quickened my pace toward the children’s corner.The nanny was trying to comfort Josh, who was clutching his stuffed toy with tears streaming down his face. When Josh spotted me, he ran to me, and I scooped him up. He buried his face in my chest, his sobs intensifying.“What’s wrong, son? Why are you crying?”His cries were muffled against my chest, leaving me to turn my gaze toward the nanny.“What happened?” I asked her.She hesitated, wringing her hands nervously. “The queen scolded him, Your Majesty.”“Scolded him? Why?”She shif

The metallic scrape of keys turning in my cell door revealed the female guard. She stepped inside without a word and pulled out a dark, hooded cloak, handing it to me. Her face remained indifferent."Turn around," she ordered.I obeyed and faced the wall as she helped me put on the cloak. She gave me gloves and ensured I was properly disguised."Follow my lead," she instructed, guiding me out of the cell.The dungeon was quiet, as most of its occupants were asleep. When we reached the exit, the guard signaled to someone outside. I heard the sound of a van’s engine idling, and soon the van door slid open. The female guard held me steady as I stepped up into the vehicle. My heart folded in my chest, and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. The cloak draped over my shoulders felt suffocating, trapping the heat of my anxiety against my skin.I couldn’t trust anyone. Eddie had his followers everywhere. The guard driving must have noticed how I trembled because he assured me,"We’re on the k

Diana My heart pounded in my chest. I had seen Asher standing before me. I didn't even need to see who it was to feel the pull of the bond. My breathing grew shallow, and I rushed to my feet.He stood outside the cell for about a minute, watching me. His presence filled the space, and yet I couldn’t read his expression. His tall frame loomed in the light, his gaze locked onto mine. He was too composed—and that frightened me even more.When the gate swung open, he stepped inside.I couldn't move. My trembling hands fell to my sides as I waited for him to speak, to act, to do something. But he remained silent.I knew that, as a king, Asher would want to please his packmates and do the right thing by getting rid of me. I had been branded an enemy, and the laws were clear—traitors were not spared. But there was something else, something deeper in his stance, in the way he hesitated, in the way his eyes flickered with an emotion I couldn’t quite place.Was he battling with himself?Slowl

Asher I paced my bedroom, allowing my thoughts consume me. The tension in the back of my neck was a dull ache, and my hands occasionally brushed over it, lingering on the spot where Diana had marked me. It was crazy how I had to adjust to her name. I paused by the large window overlooking the courtyard, staring into the expanse outside.Ever since I threw her into the dungeon, I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was pregnant. My fingers curled into fists as I leaned against the windowsill. She was pregnant, but then, was it really my child?This question cut through me, and the doubt felt like a betrayal—to myself and the bond we shared as fated mates. The truth should have been enough to silence the whispers of suspicion in my mind.That child was mine. If Lila, who didn't love me, could have my babies, how much more my fated mate?I crossed the room to a side table where a decanter of whiskey and a glass sat. I poured myself a generous amount and downed it in one gulp.The burn

DianaThey shoved me into a musty dungeon, and I stumbled forward as the heavy iron door slammed shut behind me. My wrists, raw and sore from the guards' grip, throbbed as I struggled to regain my balance.My chest tightened, and my breaths came in sharp gasps as I tried to adjust to the darkness surrounding me. The air reeked of decay and rusted metal, thick and almost choking. I scanned the space desperately, taking in the bars that caged me and the narrow window high on the wall that offered only a faint reminder of the outside world.In the silence, faint sounds reached my ears—a low murmur, a harsh cough from another cell. These were the sounds of the condemned, and now I was one of them.My legs gave way, and I sank to the cold ground, pressing my back against the wall as fear clawed at me. My mind raced, but I forced myself to focus on Asher. He had a plan. He alw
