Anita’s Pov

As the disorienting heat spread through my veins, I found myself lying on the cool floor, the haze of Evelyn's scheme clouding my mind and senses. I became aware of Alpha Hades, just inches away, his dark eyes filled with a mix of worry and something else—an urge he fought to control.

I reached out instinctively, seeking stability, and my hand landed squarely on his chest. His skin was warm, his heartbeat steady and grounding, a contrast to my own racing pulse. But as he leaned over me, his face mere inches from mine, I felt the pull between us grow. My hand slipped, fingers brushing down the strong contours of his chest, and I felt the tension in his body spike.

His breath hitched, and his gaze shifted, his pupils dilating as he inhaled, his nostrils flaring. I could feel his chest rise and fall under my hand, each breath shaky, as if he were struggling to maintain control. My own breath stilled as his gaze dropped, lingering over me in a way that made my cheeks flush, ev

    Evelyn’s PovThe dim glow of the streetlights illuminated the car’s interior just enough for me to make out Beta Damian’s silhouette as he strode confidently into the building, his shoulders squared, every inch of him projecting strength. My eyes narrowed, watching intently as his gaze scanned the hallway ahead, alert and cautious. Echoes of his footsteps sounds as he walked through the place. A second figure trailed close behind him—a man in a white coat, his demeanor giving him away as a doctor. It was obvious now: they’d called for help. Damian was leading this doctor to Anita, no doubt to patch up whatever small vulnerability we’d managed to exploit.I leaned back against the leather seat, my fingers curling into fists. A bitter smile twisted my lips, but it was tainted by the sinking realization that this plan, meticulously crafted and flawlessly executed—or so I thought—had failed. I could feel my frustration simmering just beneath the surface, cold yet fierce, like ice ready to

    Anita’s PovI blinked, the lingering haze in my mind clearing, leaving a dull ache in its place. It was quiet now, with only the faint sound of birds outside.I turned to him, my voice barely above a whisper. “How… how are you doing?”He glanced at me, his expression softening, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “I’m fine, Anita,” he replied, his voice calm, steady, as though he were reassuring me of something deeper. “More importantly, how are you feeling?”I searched his eyes for a moment, noting the lines of exhaustion etched on his face. “I’m… alright,” I murmured, my throat still raw. “Just… tired.”Behind Alpha Hades, Beta Damian lingered, watching us with an almost unreadable expression. But as Alpha Hades continued to speak, a flash of something passed over Beta’s face, his thoughts evidently slipping out. Under his breath, just barely audible, he muttered, “Alpha took countless pills to suppress his desires. It’s no wonder he’s ‘fine.’”My eyes shifted briefl

    Hades’s PovThe door clicked softly shut behind Anita, and the silence that followed felt like a heavy weight pressing down on me. I watched her retreating figure until it disappeared from view, every instinct screaming at me to follow her, to close the distance that stretched between us. But I stayed rooted, my heart pounding with the effort of holding back.As soon as she was gone, a sudden pain gripped my chest, sharp and unrelenting. I staggered, pressing a hand to my heart, struggling to draw breath. A cough tore through me, and the edges of my vision blurred. The exertion from the past few days—the sleepless nights, the constant worry—had taken its toll. But none of it compared to the ache in my chest, an ache that only worsened when she left the room.“Alpha, are you alright?” Damian’s concerned voice cut through the haze as he hurried to my side, his handkerchief ready as he wiped the cold sweat that had broken out across my forehead.“I'm fine,” I managed between coughs, thou

    Anita's POVA few days after the battles from Amara and Evelyn, my stepmother, the crisp morning air carried the faint aroma of roasted coffee beans as I walked down the street. It was one of those rare mornings when I felt a flicker of normalcy, a moment where I could forget about the weight of being Hades’s mate—or soon-to-be ex-mate, as the pack rumors now called it.Beside me was Zach, my best friend Martha’s younger brother. Zach was as lively and energetic as ever, and he’d insisted on tagging along for my coffee run. “You know, Anita,” Zach said, a mischievous grin playing on his face, “if you keep walking so fast, people might think you’re trying to ditch me.”I chuckled softly, shaking my head. “If you hadn’t taken so long picking out which scarf to wear, we wouldn’t be in such a hurry, Zach.”He laughed, the sound lighthearted and infectious. “Hey, fashion is important! Besides, I needed to look good in case I bumped into someone interesting.”We both laughed as we turned t

    Hades's POVThe meeting room was silent now, the tension from Jerry’s awkward revelation lingering in the air. Damian had moved on, or at least pretended to, diving back into patrol reports with a nonchalant air. But my thoughts were far from the task at hand. They were locked on Anita.I stared at the reports in front of me, the words blurring together into meaningless shapes. Anita’s face, her voice, her laugh—those memories crept into my mind no matter how much I tried to suppress them. And now, the image of her with another man, smiling over coffee, was etched into my thoughts. “She’s free to do what she wants,” I muttered under my breath, though the words tasted bitter. Damian looked up from the reports, raising an eyebrow. “Did you say something?”“No,” I said quickly, shaking my head. I pushed the papers aside and leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as the turmoil inside me grew louder. After a few moments, I sat upright, determination settling in my chest. “Jerr

It felt as though time itself was mocking me, dragging out this unbearable wait. I stood in the center of the meeting room, arms crossed tightly over my chest, my jaw clenched to the point of aching. The air in the room was stifling, thick with unspoken questions, and the administrative staff hovered nervously near the corner, casting wary glances in my direction before quickly looking away. “Have they called her yet?” I demanded, my voice sharp and cutting through the silence like a blade.Jerry flinched at the sound of my voice, his wide eyes darting toward me as though he expected to be reprimanded just for breathing too loudly. He nodded quickly. “Yes, Alpha. We’re just waiting for her to arrive.”I let out a frustrated growl, pacing to the far end of the room. The floor felt cold beneath my boots, a sensation that somehow grounded me, if only slightly. Damian, wh

    Evelyn’s POVI sat back on the plush velvet sofa, smoothing the fabric of my dress as I observed Amara, who was pacing nervously in front of me. Her restlessness was becoming tiresome, though I had to admit I appreciated her enthusiasm.“Amara,” I said, my voice calm but firm, “sit down. Your constant pacing is going to wear a hole in the carpet.”Amara turned to me, her lips pressed into a thin line. “Mother, we’ve been waiting for over an hour. What if she doesn’t come? What if she knows?”“She’ll come,” I said, sipping my tea leisurely. My tone carried a certainty that I hoped would calm her nerves. “Anita isn’t one to let things involving her father slide. You know that as well as I do. She’s likely already on her way.”Amara huffed, crossing her arms as she leaned against the edge of the table. Her eyes flickered to the wine glass sitting in the center, its contents glinting faintly in the light. “Do you think she’ll drink it?”“She will,” I assured her. “Her emotions will get t

    Anita’s POVA sharp glint in Evelyn’s eyes betrayed her guarded mind, even though her face remained composed. Amara perched uncomfortably on the edge of her seat beside her mother, her hands fidgeting nervously in her lap as though they were charged with electricity. I stood a few feet away, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. “Do you have any evidence?” I asked, my voice steady but carrying an edge sharp enough to draw blood. My tone-deliberately low. Evelyn raised one perfectly arched eyebrow, the corner of her mouth curling into a condescending smile. “Evidence?” she repeated, her tone mocking, as though I’d asked her to produce the moon itself. “Evidence is such a tricky thing, Anita. It can be manufactured, distorted, or conveniently misplaced. Why should I need it to tell you what I know?”“That’s not good enough,” I snapped, my voice rising slightly as anger bubbled up. “You want me to believe your story—your vague accusations—about my father’s death, but you can’t even p

    Alpha Hades’s POVI couldn't believe what was happening. The man, Zoe, who had been stirring the pot, spewing lies about Anita, was now standing in front of me. His arrogance was thick enough to slice with a knife, but as I took a step toward him, it seemed to dissolve into something else—fear, uncertainty, maybe even guilt. The man was not one of us. I could feel it in my bones even as he had lied earlier. Immediately, I lunged at him, grabbing the collar of his shirt and yanking him up, his legs shaking defensively in the air. Looking him straight in the eye, I asked, "Who are you?" My voice sharp and low. "How come I've never seen you around the pack before? Are you even one of our people?"The man’s eyes darted around the room as if he were looking for an escape route. His gaze briefly met mine, but then quickly dropped to the floor. He stuttered, “I... I’m one of the people here... from the clan.”I didn’t believe a word he was saying. Something didn’t add up. If he had truly be

    Hades's POVI could feel the pressure building inside me, my thoughts scattered, and my blood simmering with frustration. The walls of the office seemed to close in on me. At this moment, I feel like my head is about to explode. First, it was that damn woman causing trouble at the banquet, trying to disgrace Anita with her lies. Then, I had to face the elders—each one of them demanding that I divorce my mate. And now, the clansmen were at the door, shouting, furious, and demanding that I cast Anita out of the pack. How is this possible? How did everything turn into a whirlwind of chaos just because of one woman’s slander? My mate, my beloved, the one who was chosen for me by Moon Muse herself, was being torn apart by false accusations. She did nothing wrong. She didn’t kill her father; she didn’t start the fire that took the life of the old Alpha. But here they were—clansmen who didn’t know the truth, elders who were too quick to judge, and a pack that was ready to turn its back on

    Anita's POVThe moment Alpha Hades' words fell, an urgent knocking echoed against the office door. It was rapid, insistent, and the annoyance it carried was unmistakable. Alpha Hades' expression shifted, a flicker of irritation crossing his features as he waved his hand dismissively, signaling Beta Damian to open the door. Beta hesitated for only a second before pulling the door open. To my surprise, several elders stood in the doorway, their eyes sharp with authority. When they saw me, their brows furrowed immediately, the tension in the air was thick. They exchanged a few brief looks before one of them—an elder with silver hair and a scowl to match—spoke, his voice deep with disdain. "Let’s talk about the conditions," he began, his eyes never leaving me. "What do you want to divorce Alpha and leave our pack?" The words stung, slicing through the silence. The question seemed so out of place, and yet, I knew exactly where it was coming from. The elders were clearly unsettled by the

    Anita's POVThe air around me was thick with tension, with whispers, accusations, and the overwhelming weight of eyes that drilled into me like daggers. My throat was tight, and my chest ached as though a great weight was pressing down on me. I barely noticed when Amara stepped forward, her expression cold and calculating, her eyes fixed on me like a predator hunting its prey. I only had a split second to brace myself before the words spilled from her lips. "You were kicked out of the pack, then turned around and deceived Alpha Hades," Amara spat, pointing a finger directly at my nose. "Relying on your means to make him marry you. Do you want to ruin this pack again?"Her voice cut through the already tense air like a knife, sending a shockwave through the guests. The room, already rife with doubt and suspicion, erupted once again. The murmurs, gasps, and shocked exclamations crescendoed into a chorus of disgust. My heart pounded violently in my chest, and my breath came in shallow g

    Anita’s POV The impact of my stepmother’s words was immediate and catastrophic. Like a bomb dropped into the heart of the banquet hall, the shockwaves reverberated through the guests, shaking the very foundation of what I had fought so hard to build here. The murmurs began like a ripple on the surface of a pond, but within moments, the room was filled with whispers, gasps, and unrestrained exchanges of questions. “What is Alpha Hades talking about? Has our Luna killed anyone?” “Wait, she’s the princess of that pack? Then why is she working as a rogue in ours? Did they kick her out?” The shock was obvious. Eyes turned toward me in disbelief, eyes that once looked at me with a certain degree of respect now clouded with doubt, confusion, and a hint of suspicion. The words my stepmother had thrown at us felt like daggers, and I could feel each one of them sinking deep into my skin. My body went numb, my heart racing as I tried to keep my composure. It was like the world was spinning o

    Anita's POVThe moment my stepmother, Evelyn, and stepsister, Amara, stepped through the doors of the banquet hall, the atmosphere shifted. It wasn’t just the weight of their presence. It was the way the room seemed to contract, like air being sucked out of a space too small to hold it all. My eyes met theirs across the room, and a wave of cold dread washed over me. Evelyn, with her perfect but destructive smile, and Amara, who had a calculating gleam in her eyes that made my stomach twist in knots. They didn’t have to say a word for me to feel the venom they carried. Their gazes met mine, then swept dismissively over the other guests, as if we were beneath them. I swallowed hard, feeling my throat tighten, a cold shiver creeping down my spine. The murmurs around us began almost immediately, like an undercurrent that started low but quickly grew into something more dangerous.“This is our pack’s banquet. Why would Alpha Hades invite them?”“I heard the elder is pushing for Amara to

His hand, warm and steady in mine, was the only thing comforting me as I stepped into the glaring spotlight. The eyes of the pack were upon us, and though the room was filled with familiar faces, the weight of their gaze made me feel like a stranger in my own skin. I tried to swallow my nerves, but my throat felt dry, and my pulse raced faster with every second that passed.I could hear the shuffle of feet as guests shifted in their seats, their curiosity intense. The eyes of the pack, elders, warriors, and betas, all locked onto us as we took center stage. I glanced up at Alpha Hades, his broad frame standing tall beside me, exuding a confidence I could only dream of having. His expression was stoic, his features set in their usual hardened mask. But his hand, wrapped tightly around mine, told me everything I needed to know: he was

    Anita's POVThe atmosphere in the makeup room had shifted from electric tension to something lighter. I couldn’t shake the memory of Alpha Hades’s kiss, and every time my gaze flickered toward him, I felt the heat of it all rushing back to me. He had this way of looking at me intensely—that made my heart race every time. But then, as if to ground me, he calmly turned to the makeup artist who had been standing silently by, waiting for him to give the go-ahead."Could you touch up Anita’s makeup?" Hades’s voice was low and controlled, but there was an edge to it, as if he was trying to maintain a sense of normalcy after the intimate moment we’d just shared.The makeup artist, a young woman with short auburn hair and gentle eyes, immediately noticed the smudge of lipstick on my lips. Her gaze flicked between Hades and me, and I could feel the blush creeping up my neck, coloring my face even more. It was ridiculous, but I couldn’t help it. The intensity of the moment was still so fresh, a

    Anita's POVAlpha Hades walked toward me, his presence so commanding that the room seemed to shift with his every step. People around him, sensing the intimacy that was about to unfold, tactfully retreated, leaving us alone in the quiet of the dressing room. The air felt different now, charged with something unspoken, an electric tension that hummed beneath my skin. I stood frozen for a moment, unable to move, my breath shallow as I stared up at him. His eyes, dark as the night, met mine with an intensity that made my heart race faster than I could comprehend. There was a calm confidence in his every move, but something in the way he looked at me, something in the predatory gleam in his crimson eyes, made the space between us seem impossibly small. My pulse quickened. I wasn’t sure if I was more afraid or excited, but the emotions mixed together in a cocktail that left me breathless. As he drew closer, his hand brushed lightly against my back.
