Ethan's POV

Alpha Cadman wasn't just my Alpha. He was my benefactor. He took me under his wings and made me work in his company.

I worked as an assistant for Damian and it was there he picked interest in me. I swear I had thought we were working not knowing that Damian was actually planning on taking everything that belonged to the Cadman's family. And when I had realised what was happening, the deed had already been done and it was already too late.

But Moon Goddess so good, she gave me another chance. Damian had instructed me to guard Elara. I had spent the first few weeks observing and investigating her—I wanted to know if she had given up everything her family owned to Damian or was fighting it.

Then I realised, she was investigating secretly. She was a fierce woman who refused to stay down. When I was convinced, I opened up to her and since then we've been investigating together.

But now, I could feel the thin line between duty and affection blurring out. I found myself thinkin

    Ethan's POVHe folded his arms. "I assume you know that she was being framed by Kael."I said nothing and just nodded slowly."I'm getting her out by midnight."I froze. My wolf stirred at the words, eager, restless. "How would you do that?""I already sent her a note," he continued. "She knows we are coming for her. But I need your help.I narrowed my eyes, studying him for any hints of lie or deceit—because trusting anyone blindly in this hideous pack house can get one killed before one knows it. I found none—all I saw was the same determination I have. I knew he could be trusted and besides Elara had spoken so much about him rendering help to her in the past. "Why are you doing this? Why are you risking everything for her?" I asked, my tone sharp with curiosity."The same reason you're helping her, Ethan. We both know if we don't act fast, kael and Lyra would tighten their grip, and by the time Damian realizes the truth, it’ll be too late. Elara can't stay in that place," he said

    Elara's POV "Tonight, we'll get you out."It was from Gomez. The man whom I had known would show up even if it meant him dying.My eyes never left the note on the floor beside me, and its content echoed in my ear with an intensity that left me stunned.I had expected to be relieved that freedom was within reach, that I'd leave this shit hole that I had been thrown into. But instead, an overwhelming burden of unease rested on my chest. My body was trembling, not with excitement but with doubt.If l escaped, I would never be able to reclaim my father's legacy. Damian, Kael, and Lyra would lie about the whole thing, ensuring that history remembered me as a traitor who was guilty of her crime and had to flee in the middle of the night. And then Damian would hunt me to the ends of the earth. I would never really be free. I would have to live the remainder of my life in hiding, in fear—looking over my back.I closed my eyes, inhaling sharply. Truly, the prison was cold, suffocating, and te

    Elara's POV "Tell.... me, Elara. Please tell me you're not dying." His pleading, trembling voice tugged at me confirming everything I had suspected. This voice wasn't just that of a man who was only loyal —it was that of a man who was in love. I gasped internally at the realization that had just dawned on me. Ethan was in love with me. And honestly, it filled me with mixed feelings. It feels good to know there was at least someone who loved and cared about me against all odds. But then it was useless. That love would hurt us both. I couldn't answer his question because he was right. I was dying slowly, silently, with each passing second. Ethan's grip on my hand tightened, his eyes searching mine desperately for an answer —a denial, a lie, an assurance that maybe I'd get better with treatment. But I couldn't say anything. "It's true," he murmured, more to himself than to me. "It's really true. You're dying." His whole body tensed, his chest rising and falling unevenly as the weig

    Author's POV "Strip, Elara. I want to fuck you now." Damian's voice was annoyingly calm like what he said was the most natural thing in the world.Elara's breath hitched. She couldn't believe her ears. No, he can't mean it right? He must be joking or something. She tried to convince herself, but Damian proved her wrong when his hands slipped lower and rested on his belt, unbuckling it with deliberate slowness, his eyes never leaving hers."Damian..... you can't be serious right now?" She asked, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and rage.He didn't answer. There was no need to. She had no choice, or say tonight. He wasn't asking. He was taking whatever he wanted. Instead, he slipped down his trousers, his thick cock straining against his pants. This was his answer. He was fucking serious.Elara's voice widened in shock as she understood his answers quite well. Instead of trembling with fear, she summoned every ounce of courage within her. "Damian.... you can't just barge in here

    Author's POV"I thought you said you don't want this huh," he sneered, gripping her chin, forcing her to look at him. "But.... it seems you've been looking forward to this all day." His voice was cold, sending shivers through Elara. He left her chin, throwing her head to the side. "Now. Strip," he commanded again. This time Elara couldn't refuse. Her hands gripped the edges of her dress and she pulled it over her head. Then, she slipped down the straps of her bra and took it off too.Damian's eyes shifted between her breasts, stomach and body, which were bigger than he remembered. Elara had always had a slim body and a flat stomach, so why would she suddenly get bigger?"It seems someone has been gaining a lot of weight," he said, his eyes still roaming her body."....huh!" Elara blinked, caught off guard. "You've gained a lot of weight. One would think you're pregnant."Elara's heart skipped a beat. He noticed how big she had gotten. No. He can't know about the baby.

    Elara's POV The heavy door of the prison slammed shut behind Damian, leaving a suffocating silence in its wake.Still slumped on the cold, prison floor, I felt my body heavy with exhaustion, my limbs weak with pain, and my asshole burning as if it wanted to rip apart and the worst of all was my dignity—shattered. I placed my hand over my mouth trying to stop the sobs that broke free from my throat but I couldn't.I wrapped my arms around myself, I picked up my dress which was lying beside my ripped panties. I draped the dress over my chest, trying in a futile effort to cover the shame burning into my skin.I hated him.I hated myself more—for moaning—so loudly. For responding to his forbidden touch. Every thrust, every flick of his tongue, every spanking of my ass—I fucking responded to it and even enjoyed.I was disgusted. I was filthy.I was so overwhelmed with shame that I didn't notice when the next door creaked open."Elara."The voice made me freeze. The head snapped up. Ethan s

    Author's POV Luna Selena could barely wait until it was morning before she unleashed chaos at the palace gate.Luna Selena, once the beloved and elegant Luna of the Pack, now stood with disheveled hair, and thinner than she was before. But her eyes were blazing with fury and her presence was still as commanding as ever as she slammed her palm against the iron gates."I demand to speak to Alpha Damian," she shouted, her voice echoing through the morning sun. "Open these gates at once!"But the guards wouldn't let her come in even though they knew who she was. They exchanged nervous glances but held their ground. "You're not allowed to come inside, Luna Selena," one said, his voice shaky but he still tried to stand his ground."Former Luna," another corrected rudely.This made Luna Selena lose every control in her. Her face was contorted with rage. "How dare you speak to me in such a manner? So this is what I have been reduced to? A stranger in a pack that I once ruled and built?" Then

His cock was already hard just by thinking of Elara and dripping with pre-cum. He couldn't wait until night before he took her again.A sharp knock on the door made him flinch. He quickly wrapped his robe properly around himself."Come in," he called out, his voice laced with a mix of irritation and anger.The guards came inside hurriedly, bowing. "Alpha! Alpha—Luna Selena is at the gates. She’s in the palace now. With the Elders.”Damian jolted up from his couch, panic flashing in his eyes. He hurriedly stormed out of his room, but when he realised he was in his night robe, he came back and changed into his regal outfit before storming out again.What? How could this happen? Luna Selena was supposed to be at the hospital, how was she here? Those questions ran through his mind as he walked the palace hallway. He knows Luna Selena's presence wasn't go

    Elara’s POV After leaving the palace yesterday, I had gone to a nearby hotel in the kingdom to spend the night. I couldn't afford to stay in the mansion nor the palace. The place was already suffocating enough and now that I knew that Ethan's corpse was somewhere in one of the rooms, I couldn't afford to spend additional minute there. The night was long and brutal, more than any other nights in my entire life. I couldn't sleep. Anytime I closed my eyes, I feel like someone, Ethan was inside the room with me. His deep blue eyes were staring at me fondly like he was still alive. Like he was still here. But anytime I opened my eyes, there was no one in the room, just thick darkness. All I did was toss from one end of the bed to the other. I stood up and cried at a point until I felt my tears dried up. I paced around the room a few times too until it was morning. When morning came, I made a decision to stay strong. Ethan was already gone and the next thing to do was to get justice fo

    Author’s POVLyra paced around her room like a ragged dog who was running mad, her hands trembling, her breathing shallow, and her mind racing with different scenarios. The moment the guards broke the devastating news to her that Kael survived—her world tilted,. She knew she was so dead and there was no two ways about it.She had planned everything so meticulously. She had thought that everything would go on smoothly. The poison. The delivery. Even the cover-up when Damian and the Rogue King want to investigate. In fact, she had started celebrating her victory in advance. But it failed. It fucking failed woefully.Worse of all, he had survived without a single scratch.Her heart slammed violently against her chest as she clutched her fists like a lifeline.“No… no, no, no…” she muttered under her breath. “How? How is that bastard still alive? How could he know not to eat the food?"The guards had said he lay there, unmoving. They were certain he was dead. But it turned out he had tri

    Author's POVThe night was long and tormenting for Damian as he couldn't sleep. He kept tossing from one end of the bed to another, his mind reeling with strategic plans that could be used to justify Kael's release. And the disappointment of Elara and the pack members.Finally,when morning came, Damian summoned another trusted guard, Erik, and handed him a sealed envelope.“I want you to create evidence — letters, records, anything — that shows Kael was innocent,” he said, eyes hard.Erik’s eyes widened. “Alpha… why would.......?”“Because I said so,” Damian growled in irritation. Everyone now questions his rule, huh? “And no one else must know. Do it quietly. Fast. And make sure it’s convincing.”Erik sensing his mood, gave a reluctant nod, then retreated outside.After he left, he heaved a sigh of relief, hoping that everything went as planned. He walked towards the mini bar and poured himself a glass of alcoholic wine. He threw down a glass. Another glass and another glass, until h

    Author's POVDelay is dangerous, so Lyra moved quickly. Her eyes sharp were focused as she searched through the drawer she had kept closed for weeks. At the very bottom, she found what she was looking for. A tiny vial containing the last remnants of the deadly poison Kael had once fed to the guards. The thick, dark liquid still shimmered faintly, dangerous and silent.She smiled broadly, commending herself for being smart enough to take from the poison when Kael brought it and now he was going to die from the same method he had recommended. Isn't that great? It would be fun to watch him take his last breath while realising that he died from the same poison he purchased.She wrapped the vial carefully and slid it into her robe before heading towards the dungeon to set her plans on motion. Outside the cells, she met one of the guards that she had once given the task to hit and starve him. Alvin was young, reckless, and foolishly ambitious. The perfect target for her schemes.He stood

    Author's POVHis blood boiled over. But still he said nothing. He knew if he opened his mouth, he might do or say something he'd live to regret forever.Instead, he turned and walked away. Out into the grand courtyard, where the people were still gathered, curious and anxious about the Rogue King’s visit.Damian masked his expression into a neural one, his voice was steady as he faced them. “The Rogue King came to discuss a potential alliance between our kingdoms,” he lied smoothly. “A future of unity and strength.”His words made no sense. It had never happened before. Alliance? Of what use or benefit would that bring to the kingdom? And since when did the Rogues become that decent to want peace? But they did believe him anyway. They still trusted in his judgement even though everything with Elara had made them once doubted him in the past.There were murmurs, heads nodding, faces covered with confusion.“Did you accept, Alpha?” Elder Scrolls asked, his expression unreadable.Damian

    Author's POV"Release my son or else you better prepare your fires. Because I'll make sure to ruin you."The moment the Rogue king said that everything inside Damian shifted. The tension thickened, wrapping itself around Damian like chains. His hands were clenched into fists, and his breathing was shallow. Revealing the truth about the baby would be disastrous. It wasn't just about him anymore. No.... It was about the innocent life who might be caught up in all this. This might hurt the baby and ruin everything.Fuck! He had lost eventually. Despite everything he had done to stay in control of his own actions, it was useless. Alaric had cornered him in ways he had never ever expected.How could Alaric stoop so low? Using Lyra who had been like a daughter to him as a bargain? Using an innocent life as a bargain? Alaric was worse than he had thought. He was a selfish bastard who cares about no one else but his fucking self.Alaric noticed his thoughts and his heart swelled triumphantl

    Damian's POV“I did what I had to do,” he said with zero remorse. “To protect the kingdom. To keep the power from falling into the wrong hands. If I had told them that it was Kael who destroyed it, do you know what would have gone wrong? The kingdom would have fallen apart."“No,” I said through clenched teeth. “You did it to manipulate me. To make sure I was always in your debt. Always loyal. Always scared.”It was silent. He knew I was right. He has done it to have me wrapped under his fingers. To make sure to always stay in control of me.He folded his arms. “And yet you turned out exactly the way I needed you to.”The audacity of his words hit me like a slap. He didn't regret it. He didn't care about me at all and I wondered why I hadn't seen that all these years even before I found out about his manipulation."You don't care about me, Alaric," I said, my voice low and filled with disappointment. "Then why? ...... Why do you save me? Why did you take me in? Why did you have to go

    Damian’s POVThe grand hall was as quiet as a grave yard. Too quiet. Too tense. The silence was sharp enough to cut through steel. King Alaric stood like a monument of war and ruthlessness. Not a flicker of emotion appeared on his face. He wasn’t here as a father. He was here as a king. And the venom in his gaze told me he had expected to walk out of here with his son.Too bad I wasn’t going to make it that easy. I'd rather die than do that. Especially not when I had someone to impress. Not when I have someone who desperately seeks justice than anyone else. Elara. She would never forgive me if I let him go. If I do, it would destroy whatever hope that was left for us. So..... I won't succumb to this. Never.“So,” he said finally, his voice low and dangerous, “you’ve chained Kael like a criminal. Beaten him like a dog. Was this your plan all along, Damian? To treat my son like a common criminal?" Then he screamed out loud like I had forgotten Kael's real identity. "Don't forget he's

Everything was going well until I remembered how manipulative he and his father had handled the relics situation.That single act traumatized me for years.
