Kamrynn’s POV

I sit on the edge of my bed, staring at the test results for what feels like hours. The words on the paper blur together, but their meaning is crystal clear: Eloane has been poisoning Rmonica. The Luna has trusted her with everything, and this is how Eloane repaid her.

The enormity of the situation makes my head spin. I can’t just sit here and pretend I don’t know the truth. But what am I supposed to do? March up to Rmonica and shove the results in her face?

No.

I shake my head, the sick feeling in my stomach growing heavier. Eloane would find a way to twist the narrative, to paint me as the liar. She’d probably call me jealous or vengeful, claim I planted the pills or tampered with the results.

And even if Rmonica believed me, what then? Eloane is carrying their child. They wouldn’t be able to punish her, not without jeopardizing the pregnancy.

I bury my face in my hands, frustration clawing at me. I’m trapped.

Later, while helping Tiona clean the dining hall, my though

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 32

    Kamrynn's POV The decision to plant a camera in Eloane’s room wasn’t one I made lightly. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and right now, my desperation outweighed my fear. There was something brewing in the palace, something dark, and I knew Eloane was at the heart of it.I didn’t have the means to pull this off alone, though, and Tiona was the only person I could trust—or at least manipulate into helping.“Tiona,” I said one morning, carefully choosing my tone. “I’m embarrassed to ask, but… could you loan me some money?”Tiona paused mid-bite of her toast, her eyebrows lifting. “Loan? Why? What do you need?”I hesitated, playing up my discomfort. “It’s just… pregnancy essentials. A few personal things I can’t ask the palace for. You know how it is.”Her expression softened. “Of course. How much do you need?”“Not too much,” I said quickly, naming an amount I knew would cover the tiny hidden camera I’d been eyeing in town.She handed me the money without hesitation, and a

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 33

    Kamrynn's POVI pulled the hood of my cloak lower over my face as I trailed Eloane through the dense forest path. My steps were deliberate, silent, though my heart thundered loud enough to make me fear it might betray me. She walked briskly, a small satchel swinging at her side, her head turning occasionally as if she sensed someone nearby. I kept my distance, ducking behind trees and crouching low whenever she glanced back.The hidden location she chose wasn’t far, just past the stream that cut through the northern edge of the Blue Bell Pack's territory. A small clearing appeared as she broke through the brush, and I stopped short, crouching behind a thick tree trunk. The area was secluded, surrounded by towering oaks, and the faint scent of damp moss filled the air.Raelan stepped into view. My chest tightened at the sight of him. His broad shoulders were tense, his arms crossed over his chest as he waited. Even from here, I could see the impatience etched across his face. Eloane em

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 34

    Kamrynn’s POVI slammed the door to my room and leaned against it, the recorder clutched tightly in my trembling hands. My breath came in quick, shallow bursts as the adrenaline surged through me. I couldn’t waste a second. Every moment I delayed was another chance for Eloane’s vile scheme to unfold.I hurried to my desk, yanked the laptop open, and connected the recorder. The screen flickered to life, and I clicked through the files, uploading the footage as quickly as the machine allowed. Each second felt like an eternity.“Come on, come on,” I muttered under my breath, glancing nervously at the door.Finally, the progress bar reached one hundred percent. I copied the files onto multiple flash drives, each one a lifeline. One went into my bag, another under the mattress. I even considered hiding one in the bathroom, but time wasn’t on my side.Grabbing the recorder, I slipped it into my pocket and bolted for the door. This was it. It was time to reveal everything to Rmonica. She des

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 35

    Kamrynn's POV In my room, I opened the laptop, my hands shaking. Rmonica and the Alpha stood behind me, their expressions tense.I played the footage, letting the damning evidence speak for itself. Eloane’s voice filled the room, her words as clear as the day I’d recorded them.When the video ended, silence fell.Rmonica’s hands trembled as she covered her mouth. “I can’t believe this…”The Alpha’s fists clenched, his fury palpable. “She’ll pay for this.”He stormed out of the room, Rmonica stumbling behind him, clearly overwhelmed. I felt sorry for her more than anything. She didn't deserve any of this. But the truth, despite how bitter it is, is the only thing that can, and will set her free.I closed my laptop and quickly followed them. Eloane was still present in the living room and she looked as white as a ghost, her fingers trembling at her sides.The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on as Rmonica and the Alpha faced Eloane. Her face was pale but defiant, her arms

    Kamrynn’s POVThe past few days have been…eventful. I remember clearly how eager but anxious Rmonica was on the day the DNA test was conducted.The room had been tense, the air heavy with anticipation as the Alpha broke the seal on the DNA test results. His hands were steady, but his expression was unreadable. Rmonica sat beside me, her fingers gripping the armrest of her chair so tightly her knuckles turned white. I couldn’t bring myself to speak, my heart thundering in my chest as the Alpha read the paper in silence.“Well?” Rmonica’s voice was small but steady, breaking the heavy silence.The Alpha looked up, his eyes dark with restrained emotion. “It’s confirmed,” he said quietly. “The child isn’t ours.”Rmonica gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Tears filled her eyes, but she didn’t break down. Instead, she nodded slowly, as if trying to convince herself to accept the truth. “Thank you for telling me,” she whispered. “At least now, it’s over. The lies… they’re finally over.”I

    Kamrynn's POV “Not much to celebrate when you have feet like this. I can't wait till they're out. Balloon-like feet are not a flex.” I grumbled, adjusting my feet once more.Rmonica nearly choked on her tea. “Gosh Kamrynn, you're too much. I'm supposed to be the funny one, you know.” She replied with a wink.We both burst into laughter, the sound filling the cozy room. For a moment, all the discomfort and exhaustion melted away, replaced by the joy of being with a dear friend. Since everything had happened, Rmonica and I had only grown closer, and moments like this made it clear why.“Oh!” I suddenly blurted, my hands gripping my stomach.Rmonica shot forward. “What? What’s wrong?”I winced, then let out a shaky laugh. “Nothing. One of them just kicked my ribs. Hard.”Rmonica sat back with a relieved chuckle. “They’re strong already. You’re definitely going to have your hands full.”“Don’t remind me,” I said dryly. “I can’t even reach my toes anymore, let alone handle two of these li

    Kamrynn’s POVA month had passed, and Rmonica was steadfast in her appointments with the gynaecologist. Watching her dedication gave me hope, though I tried not to say too much. Still, the dreams kept coming—those strange, vivid visions that lingered long after I woke up.Last night’s dream had been particularly strong. I saw Rmonica standing in a field of golden wheat, the harvest so bountiful that it shimmered under the sunlight. Her laughter echoed, bright and full of joy, as she gathered the grain into her arms. The scene shifted, and I watched her open a massive gift box, her face lighting up with pure happiness as she unveiled its contents—though I couldn’t see what was inside. The emotions were overwhelming, and when I woke, my chest felt warm, like the dream had left a tangible blessing.The morning of Rmonica’s hospital visit arrived. I was sipping a cup of chamomile tea, trying to soothe my nerves, when Rmonica entered the dining hall. She looked radiant, her cheeks flushed

    Kamrynn's POV Amara stared at the knife, her face as pale as the suds in the sink. Tiona was the first to speak, her voice trembling. “That knife… it would’ve gone right through her.”“It would’ve been bad,” I murmured, barely recognizing my own shaky voice. My heart was pounding, adrenaline rushing through me so fast that my hands trembled.The maids exchanged frightened whispers, their voices blending into a dull hum in the background. I couldn’t focus on their words. My mind was spinning, replaying the moment over and over. That feeling—that overwhelming certainty—had saved Amara’s life.But how had I known?Tiona placed a hand on my shoulder, her grip firm but comforting. “Kamrynn, are you okay?”I nodded stiffly, though my throat felt tight. “I… I just knew something was going to happen. I could feel it.”“That was more than just a feeling,” Tiona said softly, glancing at the knife again. “You saved her.”The weight of her words settled on me, heavy and undeniable. This wasn’t a

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 91

    Kamrynn’s POVAnxiety curled in my stomach like a stubborn weed, refusing to be uprooted no matter how hard I tried to shake it. It had been two days since the nightmare, but Calvin’s haunting gaze and his bloodied hands still lingered in my mind like a stain. Every time I closed my eyes, the vision of him whispering, “You’re my salvation,” echoed in my ears. The memory left a bitter taste in my mouth, a warning I couldn’t decipher. I couldn't help but wish over and over again that I would never have to cross paths with that man.I tugged absently at the hem of my dress, my mind racing. The party. I still wasn’t sure I wanted to attend. In fact, every fiber of my being screamed to stay behind, to shut myself away with my twins and avoid the crowd altogether.The sound of soft gurgling pulled me from my thoughts. I turned toward the crib and found Astor and Arabella lying side by side, their tiny hands waving in the air as they grunted at each other. They were only a week old, yet they

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 90

    Calvin's POVThe rhythmic ticking of the clock on the far wall grated on my nerves as I sifted through the endless paperwork littering my desk. Numbers, trade routes, inventory lists—all of it blurred together into meaningless scribbles. My mind wasn’t here, couldn’t be here, not when Kamrynn was still out there, somewhere. The gnawing frustration and helplessness had become a constant ache in my chest, and no amount of work could drown it out.A sharp knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. I straightened in my chair, my voice sharp and unwelcoming. “What?”Franklin stepped in, his expression carefully neutral. He always wore that mask when dealing with me these days, likely to avoid triggering one of my outbursts. “Alpha,” he greeted me with a respectful nod.I wasted no time. “Do you have news?”Franklin hesitated, the pause long enough to stoke my irritation. He knew better than to drag his feet, especially about this.“Well?” I demanded, my tone harsher than I intended.“No

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 89

    Kamrynn’s POVIt had been five days since I gave birth to my twins, and the world felt both miraculous and impossibly heavy. The aftermath of childbirth wasn’t something I’d fully prepared for, no matter how many stories I’d heard or how many reassurances I’d been given. My body felt like a battlefield, and I wasn’t sure if I was winning or losing the war.My first real struggle came from the constant bleeding. Every movement reminded me that my body was still in recovery, and the dull ache in my abdomen served as a persistent reminder that my body had gone through something extraordinary—and excruciating. I shifted uncomfortably in bed, my hand brushing against the bundle of blankets where my twins slept.The exhaustion wasn’t just physical. Sleep was a distant memory, a luxury I hadn’t experienced since their arrival. Every cry woke me in a panic, my heart pounding as I scrambled to soothe whichever baby needed me more. Even when they were quiet, I found myself lying awake, afraid s

    Calvin's POV The moment the witch’s words settled in my mind, I knew what had to be done. Kamrynn was the key to saving the Pack, the only chance to break the curse that had turned our lives into a living nightmare. The realization felt like a hammer striking my chest. I clenched my fists, a mix of dread and determination swirling within me."Thank you," I said to the witch, my voice hoarse. She regarded me with wary eyes, as if unsure whether I meant it.“Remember, Alpha,” she replied, her voice sharp like a blade. “Your Pack’s salvation depends on her forgiveness. Nothing else can save you.”I nodded grimly and left her dwelling, the air around me feeling colder than ever. Kamrynn was out there somewhere, not just carrying the hope of my Pack’s survival, but also my child—my heir. She must have given birth by now, and the thought of her raising my child, away from me, filled me with an unbearable mix of frustration, yearning, and guilt.Returning to the Pack, I knew there was no ti

    Calvin's POV“If you think I'd ever—” I had begun my strong rebuttal when I felt Franklin's hand on my shoulder.“We don't have a choice, Alpha. Just do it, please. For the sake of the Pack. She's our last hope.” He pleaded.I knew that all too well but still…I clenched my fists, trying to rein in my temper. “Please,” I said through gritted teeth, bowing my head in surrender. “Please help me, my people are dying. If you know something, please tell me and you'll forever have my gratitude.”She quirked an eyebrow but a smile finally settled on her face. “That wasn't so hard now, was it?” She quipped after a long pause. “Step inside.”The room we entered was darker than the hallway, lit only by the faint glow of a fire in the hearth. The air was even heavier in here, suff

  • Escaping From My Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 86

    Calvin’s POVHopelessness was a poison that seeped into every corner of my life. No matter how hard I tried to shake it off, it clung to me, a suffocating shroud.For months, I had tried everything—letters, emissaries, messengers, and desperate pleas—but it was no use. Not a single Pack wanted to be associated with us. Not after the children's deaths. The weight of what had happened to our firstborns had turned us into pariahs. The news spread fast, faster than even I could have anticipated. Stories of death, sorrow, and desperation painted the Obsidian Pack as cursed, as a place to be avoided at all costs.The once-bustling Pack lands now felt hollow, every corner of it a reminder of what we’d lost. Mothers who had buried their children wandered aimlessly, their eyes hollow, their grief so loud it felt like a scream ringing in my ears day and night. Fathers clung to their surviving families, but even they looked at me with resentment burning in their eyes. I'd spent weeks, months, tr

    Kamrynn's POV The room was still except for the soft rustle of fabric as Tiona finished cleaning me up. My body felt heavy, utterly spent, but there was a strange lightness in my chest. The pain had been unbearable, yes, but holding my children—seeing their tiny faces—had made it all worth it.Tiona handed me a warm blanket, and Rmonica carefully adjusted the cradle where the twins lay, swaddled and sleeping peacefully. “Have you decided on names yet?” Rmonica asked, her voice soft and full of warmth.I smiled, my heart swelling as I gazed at the little bundles. “Astor,” I said, touching the soft tufts of dark hair on my son’s head. “And Arabella,” I added, caressing my daughter’s tiny cheek.Rmonica beamed. “Beautiful names, Kamrynn. They’re perfect.”Aryna hummed her approval in the back of my mind. “Astor and Arabella,” she said, her voice a comforting presence. “Strong names for strong pups.”Tiona stepped back, wiping her hands. “You did wonderfully, Kamrynn. They’re beautiful,

    Calvin's POV The day had started no differently than the countless others of late—heavy with tension and a suffocating sense of dread. I was seated behind my desk, the surface strewn with reports and maps that Franklin and I had been dissecting. The room felt oppressive, the walls closing in with the weight of my Pack's suffering.The room was quiet except for the rustling of papers as Franklin explained the latest updates on our attempts to negotiate with the Moon Rock Pack. His voice was steady, but I could sense the exhaustion in his tone. We were both worn thin.I leaned back in my chair, trying to push away the throbbing headache that had been my constant companion for weeks. "We’ll try again," I said, my voice heavy. "We don’t have another option. They’re our last hope for supplies before winter."Franklin nodded but didn’t seem convinced. "I’ll prepare the next envoy," he said, though he didn’t meet my eyes.A sudden, frantic knock on the door broke through the quiet. It wasn’t

Kyven and Thalia’s mating ceremony two weeks ago was a grand affair, their love shining brighter than ever. Now they were off on their honeymoon, leaving the Pack in high spirits.As for me, I had embraced my role as the Pack’s Guardian with pride. The respect I received from the Pack members was overwhelming, their gratitude fueling my determination to serve. Yet, my heavy pregnancy had prevented me from fully stepping into the position. I promised myself that after the birth of my babies, I would devote myself entirely to the Pack’s prosperity.I sat on my bed, a book in my hands. My swollen belly rested heavily on my thighs, and the occasional kick from my little ones brought a smile to my face. It was a quiet moment, one I cherished. But as always, peace was fleeting.The serenity that came with being lost in a good book was suddenly shattered by a pain so sharp and consuming that it felt l
