Authors POV

The kitchen itself was quiet beyond the constant rhythm of chopping vegetables and soft bubble of stew simmered on the heat. The aromas of spice hung in the air and the faint heat of the dim overhead bulb. Talia stood at the counter, sleeves rolled up over her elbows, her hair loose in a knot down the back of her neck as she worked intently on what she was preparing.

She had always employed cooking as a way of escape. The chopping, stirring, and seasoning was one that drowned out the nagging thoughts that even now buzzed within her head. It was controlled, systematic—something which battled the storm of her mind. Tonight she would require that distraction above all else.

After Berrilyl was in bed, Talia had been alone in the kitchen, and that was how she preferred it. She didn't want a crowd, didn't want someone to sit close enough to notice the true way she felt. The pressure that had rested upon her all day rested now upon her shoulders, but she set it aside, allowing h

    Cage's POVI sat beside my bed, my fists clenched, staring down at the floor as the weight of my thoughts pressed upon my head. My thoughts replayed everything that went on last night repeatedly, refusing to leave them be.I had almost slept with Berrilyl.Realization hit me with a force that ran a chill down my spine. I had nearly lost myself, nearly descended to something that was not supposed to happen—not like that, not under those circumstances. My nature, my wants, my instincts had all turned against me.I could only blame the mating bond.But even so, something wasn't right. My Rut had been too short—only a day. That wasn't normal. I'd experienced it before, but it had always lasted longer, at least three to four days. More importantly, my Rut shouldn't have started at all. Not yet. Not now.Something was wrong.I let out a harsh breath, running my hand over my face. There was no point sitting here alone, suffocating in confusion. I needed answers.I called for Jake and Miliano

    Cage's POVThe seriousness of what was happening settled dense around the room, weighing the air like a thick fog.Tension filled the room. I leaned back in my chair, hitting my fingers slowly on the armrest.I looked at Grace and Berrilyl. The accusations that had passed between them had made this a touchy situation, and it was getting trickier by the second, I didn’t know what to believe.Grace protested that she had not made the coffee, but Berrilyl continued to accuse her that she was the one who made the coffee."She is lying," Grace said confidently. "Berrilyl hates me, and she will do anything to make me look guilty." She will do anything to make me look bad in front of you, Alpha."Berrilyl's face was serious, her fists clenched at her sides. "That's not true. You are the person who made that coffee, Grace, and you know it’s the truth. I have got no reason to lie about this. You're the one who made that coffee, just say the truth and stop making it hard in everyone."Grace sno

    Cage's POVThe air was still heavy with Grace's screaming fit just seconds ago, her screams still ringing in my head when I had asked the guards to take her away. I should have been satisfied, that justice had been served. She'd poisoned my drink. She'd lied to me. And yet something about the entire situation didn't sit right with me.I raked a hand through my hair, taking a bitter breath. I had questions.I wanted to ask her some questions regarding her actions.Miliano raised an eyebrow but did not budge.Her face was puffy and her eyes red from crying, the rebellious pose now that of a broken woman. She hardly even fought.She knelt down quickly as I stated approaching her. "Alpha, please! I didn't mean to do any harm!"I looked down at her, my expression filled with no emotions. "Explain. You drugged me. You disrupted my Rut. That's a serious violation, Grace. And you'd have me believe that you had no ill motives?"I askedShe nodded quickly. "Yes, Alpha! I did it only because I wa

    Chapter 155Cage's POVIt was night already and I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking of how I would capture William. My mind was sharp, scheming my next move. I had to get it right because I couldn't afford to mess up. William was a dangerous man, and I had to outsmart him.Suddenly, I felt a change in the air, something out of the ordinary. The room became chilly, and I could hear a soft sound—like clothing moving across the floor. I leaped up immediately, my senses heightened. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure coalesce.A man in a black robe appeared in the room. The robe was dark enough that it blended with the shadows, and the man was almost invisible to the light. It appeared soundlessly as if it was an extension of the night.I couldn't make out the face of the figure, but I could see his eyes. They were sharp, focused, and glimmering faintly in the faint light. Those eyes were chilly, calculating as if they were watching every move I made.Then, without uttering a word,

    Cage's POVThe letter came out of the blue, and its contents were completely unexpected. I'd expected it to be a minor update. But the second I opened the letter, things changed.It turned out that the letter had been written by William's first wife, Lucia, and its purpose was clear: it was meant to be sent back to her Pack so they could take revenge on William on her behalf. The realization hit me hard. Lucia, once seen as a quiet, obedient wife, was now taking a stand.The assassin who had brought me the letter seemed to grasp the gravity of the situation. He began to tell me about how Lucia had been treated for some days now, how William had become increasingly cold and callous. At first, their marriage had been a respectful one, but slowly, William had begun to neglect her, paying no heed to her feelings and requirements. He had been aloof and disinterested, busy with other things, other wives, and keeping her in the background.Lucia was not a woman to be discarded. She had been

    Berrilyl's POVI woke up to the sound of a gentle tapping and an unfamiliar voice that called my name.A maid and an unfamiliar woman stood beside my bed, their faces courteous. I rubbed my face trying to get the sleep away from my eyes and shake off the haze of slumber."Good morning, miss," the maid said, curtsying low. "This is one of the best seamstresses, and she's here to measure you" The maid introduced me to the other woman."Okay. Good morning" I said, greeting the both of them. There were clothes of my size in the palace, so I didn't know why, out of nowhere, my measurements were suddenly needed. I was about to ask them why my measurements were needed when the seamstress said,"Happy engagement ceremony ma'am. You have a great figure and would look very stunning on your special day"My mind went blank as I stared at the seamstress, her words slowly sinking into my head.Engagement ceremony?

I tried to open it but it was locked. I was trapped.I couldn't make sense of elegant was going on. Who asked her to do this to me? I didn't have beef with anybody except for the envy or disgust of the maids but none of them dared to do this."Damn it" I muttered to myself. I had seen this coming but still allowed myself to fall into the trap. Was it the doing of Grace? She definitely hated me; the way she glared at me during the time of Cage's Rut showed she didn't want me at all in her life, which meant this was the perfect time for me to die. Days before the engagement, if the engagement didn't happen her chances with him would be greater. I could only hope it wasn't true. My life had never been worse and I was getting scared.

Cain's angry bellowing echoed behind me, each sentence distorted with rage and anger."Berrilyl! You bloody traitor! You will not get away from this!"I did not slow. I did not look back.

    Cage's POV If someone had helped William escape from the hidden dungeon and find a way out of here, it either meant that he had brought someone with him who we didn't capture and was sneaking around then saw the perfect opportunity to let him go or we had a spy among us.The thought of having a spy in our midst left me dumbfounded. The spy must have known our pack so we'll that the hidden dungeon wasn't only unhidden but could be operated by whoever the spy was.Was I this careless to have never figured it out? When the spies were killed all of a sudden, I should have known there was still more to it, but I blamed Berrilyl since she always had more than one way of communicating with her brother, and I was caught up in so many problems that I forgot to investigate such a dangerous attempt further.Even if he had a someone with him who we didn't capture, there was no way the person would have got through the guards, the security system was tight which meant the only way he could escape

    Cage's POVI wasn't that intoxicated. I was just tipsy. I knew where I was and what I was doing, still. But even with the alcohol in my system, I could feel my mind slipping, becoming less clear, less sharp. The edges of my world blurred, and everything felt a little lighter and easier to deal with.With that said, I didn't attack Berrilyl. She had already left, and something made me know it was not yet time to follow her. She was angry and scared. I could see that from her eyes as she turned her back on me. But she needed space, and I knew that if I followed her, things would just get worse. It was not the first time Berrilyl had left me, and I knew it would not be the last. So I simply released her.I did what I always did whenever I had to focus on other things instead. I took a hold of the mask again. It was more about obscuring my mind, and my emotions rather than hiding my face. My feelings. My thoughts. The mask gave me a feeling of control and detachment. Wearing it, I felt so

    Berrilyl's POVIt was a day to my engagement already, and I had decided to carry out my plan. I had prepared for days now on how to escape, but the only way out that I could think of was to get rid of Cage. It was the last thing I could think of to save myself from getting married to him, and tonight I was going to carry out my plan.The night was calm as I walked down the halls of the mansion. There was just the soft thud of my steps against the quiet. My heart was racing, and I felt this crazy mix of fear and resolve. Was I going to do it? I stood before Cage's door.My mind was telling me that this was what I needed to do, but my body was tense and unsure. I'd never been more nervous in my life. I'd practiced this moment so many times in my mind, but now that it was here, it wasn't quite the same. Still, I could not go back. I had to move forward.I pushed the door inward slowly, as quietly as possible. The room was black except for the feeble flickering of candle flames at the ed
