"Come in," Alexander said softly.

Sarah gracefully entered, changing her heels for indoor slippers. Emma fearfully peeked from behind the bathroom door frame, watching them.

"Emma, come say hello!" Alexander called out, displeased.

Emma bit her lower lip, refusing to move.

Sarah walked over and knelt by Emma, her smile sweet but her eyes cold.

"Emma, sweetie, I'm your Aunt Sarah. Don't you remember me?" She reached out, cupping Emma's cheek. To anyone watching, it looked like a loving gesture.

But I saw how her manicured nails dug cruelly into Emma's soft skin.

"Such a cute little pup," Sarah cooed while viciously pinching Emma's cheek, making my daughter wince. "Just last week I took you to the pack playground. Have you forgotten our special time together?"

At the mention of the playground, Emma seemed even more frightened. I wondered what other cruelties Sarah had inflicted when no one was watching.

"I hate you! You're a bad wolf!"

Emma pushed Sarah away, barely using any force. Yet

    Suddenly, another knock came at the door. Alexander was still twisting the handle, his Alpha strength barely contained as the lock groaned under the pressure.Emma huddled closer to my cursed body, her small form trembling with each sound."Isabella!" Alexander's voice carried the weight of his Alpha command. "You haven't come to the pack meeting for days, and now you're neglecting pack training too. Do you know what the other packs are saying? That the Thorn Pack's Luna is unfit for her position!"He paused, his voice dropping dangerously low. "If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to take Emma away. Your behavior is damaging her wolf development!"In the living room, Sarah sat elegantly on the leather couch, her perfectly manicured fingers smoothing invisible wrinkles from her designer dress. Hearing Alexander's threats, her lips curved into a subtle smile. She gently nudged Lily forward, a move calculated to perfection."Alpha Alex," Lily whimpered, her small hand tugging at

    At the pack's high-end cafe, they chose the western restaurant section because Lily insisted on pizza for breakfast. The hostess, recognizing their Alpha, immediately led them to the best table."Alpha Bennett, Mrs. Sarah, welcome," the hostess beamed, pulling out chairs. Her eyes skipped right over Emma.Since Lily wouldn't let go of Alexander, he had no choice but to let her sit on his lap. Sarah sat beside them, her shoulder occasionally brushing against Alexander's in a way that seemed accidental but I knew was deliberate.Emma sat alone across the table, her feet barely reaching the floor. The contrast was stark - three on one side, my daughter isolated on the other.During the wait for their food, Lily monopolized the conversation, chattering about her preschool adventures."Alpha Alex, yesterday Miss Thompson said I was the best at shifting control in class!" Lily bounced on Alexander's knee. "She said I'm as talented as you were at my age!"Alexander's eyes softened with pride.

    "Ring ring!"The phone on the table suddenly started ringing. Alexander checked it quickly - Emma's pack trainer."Alpha Bennett, I'm concerned. Emma hasn't shown up for training today. Is everything alright with your family?"Alexander's face darkened. He tried to establish a mind link with me."Isabella, answer me now. Why aren't you handling your responsibilities?"But of course, there was no response. The curse had already severed our mate bond, though he didn't know it.He tried calling my phone repeatedly, but it had died hours ago.Frustrated, he slammed his phone down on the table, making Emma jump and shrink into her seat."Alpha Alex," Lily quickly diverted his attention, "can I have another slice of pizza?"Before Alexander could answer, a well-dressed she-wolf approached their table, her eyes lighting up with recognition."Sarah! What a delightful surprise!" The woman's gaze settled on Alexander. "And this must be Lily's father! You look just as handsome as in the photos Sa

    Just as they were about to leave the magical artifacts shop, Lily spotted the crown in a display case."Alpha Alex, look! A princess crown!" She pressed her small hands against the glass, leaving smudges.The delicate crown sat on a velvet cushion behind enchanted glass, its white gold and diamonds catching the light. Ancient runes of power traced its edges, promising enhanced magic to its wearer."Ten million dollars," Alexander read the price tag, his voice tight. The amount was more than the pack's entire monthly income. "No, Lily. The wand was already too expensive."Lily's face immediately crumpled, her lower lip trembling dramatically."But I want it!" She threw herself on the polished floor, her expensive dress fanning out around her. "You have to buy it for me!"Other customers turned to stare at the spectacle. I saw several pack members among them, their expressions a mix of curiosity and judgment.Sarah rushed to her daughter's side, her designer heels clicking on the marble

    Alexander raced through the pack's shopping district, searching frantically for Emma.He started to reach for the mind link before remembering - Emma was too young to shift yet. Without her wolf, there could be no spiritual connection."Emma!" His voice echoed through the shopping center.My spirit form searched alongside him, passing through walls and buildings, but I couldn't find our daughter.Sarah followed at a leisurely pace, holding Lily's hand."Alex," she called out, her voice trembling. "I'm so sorry about what Lily said. She's just a child, she doesn't understand..."Lily tugged at Alexander's sleeve. "Alpha Alex, I didn't mean to make you mad. Please don't be angry."Alexander's hard expression softened slightly at Lily's tears. Sarah had trained her daughter well in the art of manipulation."Emma!" he called out again, but his voice held less anger now.Sarah touched his arm gently. "Let me help you look. I'll check the toy store with Lily."But I watched as she merely win

    Victoria called for the pack doctor while we raced back to the pack house.Alexander burst through the front door, his face ashen when the smell of death and dark magic hit him.He ran to our bedroom, finding my body slumped against the bed, black curse marks spread across my skin."No..." Alexander fell to his knees. "Isabella? Love, wake up..."But my body had long since grown cold, the curse having claimed its victim hours ago.The pack doctor arrived, his face grave when he saw me."Alpha... I'm sorry. Luna Isabella is gone."Alexander cradled my body, his whole frame shaking. "What happened to her? These marks..."The doctor's face filled with guilt. "It was from two months ago, Alpha. When that assassination attempt was made on you."Alexander's head snapped up. "What assassination attempt?""Someone came to the pack house with a cursed blade, meant for you. But you weren't home that night..." The doctor paused, looking pained. "Luna Isabella was here alone. She took the hit.""W

    After Sarah's arrest, Alexander refused to let go of my body."Leave us," he commanded everyone except Emma, his voice raw with grief.Victoria tried to reason with him. "Alexander, we need to prepare her body...""Get out!" His Alpha power made the windows rattle, magic crackling dangerously in the air.For three days, he sat there holding my cursed body, Emma curled up beside us. He wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, just kept whispering apologies into my cold hair.The pack guards brought reports about Sarah's interrogation, but Alexander couldn't bring himself to leave my side."I'm sorry," he kept repeating, rocking back and forth. "I'm so sorry, Isabella. Please forgive me. Please come back to me."Emma would occasionally try to make him eat, bringing small pieces of bread."Daddy, Mommy wouldn't want you to be sick," she'd whisper, her small face pinched with worry.But Alexander just pulled her close, crying into her hair.On the third day, Victoria finally burst in, papers clutched

    The night before my funeral, Alexander visited Sarah in the dungeon.She was chained with magic-suppressing shackles, her once-perfect appearance now disheveled and dirty."The Blood Moon Pack sent an interesting message," Alexander said coldly. "Turns out their moon god is Richard's sister, I've never heard you mention her before, my foster sister."Sarah tried to maintain her composure. "Alex, please listen. I never meant for Isabella to die. The curse was never supposed to kill anyone!""No. You meant to curse me instead." His laugh was hollow. "Where's the antidote, Sarah?""I... I lost it when they arrested me." Her voice trembled.Alexander's eyes glowed red with Alpha power. "Wrong answer.""Alex, think about Lily! She's innocent in all this!""Like Emma was innocent?" His voice dropped dangerously low. "Like my mate was innocent?"What happened next, even my spirit turned away from.
