Alisha raised her head, her doe-sized eyes filled with terror and innocence simultaneously, met his gaze.

Shock etched on her face as she struggled to decipher his words, aware they carried more weight than they seemed.

“I said stand up, sweetheart. Did you hear me?” Alice commanded, one eyebrow raised, jaw clenched.

Too weak from standing too long, Alisha felt immobilised.

It wasn't just fatigue, but fear rendering her unable to move; the metallic tang of blood assaulting her senses, the dampness on her neck and feet screaming of the dire situation.

Summoning all her strength, she rose, keeping her gaze fixed on him, knowing any shift would only provoke him further.

“You know what you've done wrong?” Alice's voice, cold as ice, pierced the silence.

That's exactly how he sounded—cold and dangerous.

Wrong? Alisha replayed the scene in her mind, struggling to identify her error.

She couldn't recall any misstep; it was him twisting her words, unfairly blaming her and growing increasingly

    "You're thinking right, Angel, because I don't forgive—I kill if someone makes mistakes and does things I don't want," Alice drawled, observing her reaction closely.His eyes could discern her fear, the tremble in her limbs, and the silent plea for escape written across her face. Even without her saying a word, he could read it all in her body language.Every nuance, every hint of innocence and dread seeping from her expression as she struggled to maintain her composure.But that was the problem—he didn't want to see her like that. He didn't want her to show any sign of defiance or fear."I'm sorry. I don't mean to show anything in my eyes. Please, don't kill me," Alisha pleaded desperately, her words barely a whisper.She couldn't die—not now, not like this. She was too young, too full of life to face death. She hadn't even finished college yet, and here he was, ready to snuff out her existence without a second thought.It wasn't just a threat; she could see it in him. She knew he wa

    In the evening, Alice entered his office to find Alisha fast asleep.Approaching her, he gently shook her awake. "Wake up! We need to go," he said.Alisha stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet Alice's gaze, immediately sitting up."Would you like some snacks?" Alice asked, unfazed by her sudden alertness."Snacks?" Alisha's confusion was evident, still groggy from her unexpected awakening."Yes, it's already evening, and you might be hungry too. Having some snacks would help," Alice replied warmly."No," Alisha's stomach betrayed her denial with a rumble, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.She nervously tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, feeling shy under Alice's amused gaze.Alice chuckled at her reaction. "It's okay. I'm hungry. We should grab some snacks. Do you want to explore my office and eat in the canteen, or would you prefer to stay here?"His words left her wondering what he wanted from her. She couldn't believe he wanted to show her his office; it wasn't

    "Now, what's going on in that little head of yours, Angel?" Alice asked with a smile, his mood lifting.He had to hand it to her; she had a knack for both souring his mood and then turning it around in the blink of an eye. She was like a coin flip, offering him a taste of both the bitter and the sweet all at once, and she always managed to nail it, no matter how much he tried to deny it."I'm just wondering if you're trying to poison me because you're not eating what I am," Alisha blurted out without much thought, unable to contain her thoughts and words. She just needed to know if her suspicions were unfounded.With one bite already consumed, she couldn't help but worry about the consequences if something was indeed wrong with the food. She was feeling fine so far, but she didn't want to take any chances. What if she ended up getting sick or worse?"I could take a bite of this if you don't believe me," Alice said, holding her hand and taking a bite of her sandwich. "If it's poisone

    Alice couldn't quite grasp why he had suggested the idea in the first place, but seeing the sadness in Alisha's eyes had prompted him to act.Initially, he hadn't wanted any sort of celebration for the marriage, but he couldn't ignore the one and only friend he had, Edward, and his wife Misha.He knew he had to have a small gathering, at least to invite John, his assistant, to appease his mother who disapproved of the court marriage. Perhaps once she realised he was throwing a small party to celebrate their marriage, she would feel more at ease.It wasn't that he didn't want to celebrate; he simply didn't want to expose Alisha to anyone. She was too innocent, and he didn't want any unwanted attention on her.Despite everyone knowing to keep their eyes off those who belonged to him, he couldn't ignore the dangers of his mafia connections. He wanted to marry in peace, prioritising Alisha's safety above all else.Though he knew his enemies were skilled at keeping tabs on him, he trusted

    The car came to a halt after hours of driving, parked in front of an upscale mall.“Sweetheart, let's go. Buy whatever you like, alright?” Alice's words filled the air as he opened the door and stepped out of the car. Alisha followed suit, opening the door and stepping out into the cool evening air.Her senses overwhelmed by the sight of the brightly lit mall against the backdrop of the starry night sky. The cool breeze brushed against her skin, offering a momentary sense of relief.In another situation, Alisha would have revealed the beauty of the scene before her. However, the purpose of their visit—her so-called marriage shopping—cast a shadow over her mood, robbing her of the ability to fully enjoy the moment.“Let's go inside, sweetheart,” Alice urged, taking her hand in his with a gentle yet firm grip.Alisha glanced around, taking in the grandeur of the mall. While she had been to malls before with Mother Mary, none had been as extravagant as this one. The opulence of the

    The sudden change in Alice's demeanour caught Alisha off guard. Just moments ago, they were trying the dresses, and now he was behaving in a way she hadn't anticipated."I have hands, even if I'm tired, I can help myself," Alisha responded, trying not to provoke him but rather to assert herself with her words, refraining from physical contact.She couldn't understand how he could suddenly turn into a pervert whenever he felt like it, especially when they were out shopping together.It was a complete waste of time and utterly embarrassing for her."Sweetheart, I told you we have a lot more shopping to do, so don't worry. I can certainly help with this; your hands don't need to do all the work when your soon-to-be husband can lend a hand," Alice said softly, gently taking her another hand in his.Her hand felt so soft and small in his, making him realise how rough his own hands felt in comparison. He felt as though Alisha's delicateness was something he wanted to savour and enjoy, like

    After paying for the dresses and arranging for them to be sent to his house, Alice gently took Alisha's hand as they left the shop."What else do we need to shop for now?" Alisha asked, her voice laden with exhaustion.Forced into a marriage she didn't want, forced into shopping for items she had no interest in, Alisha felt drained from trying on dresses alone. She had no energy left for anything else.But she knew she had to comply with Alice's wishes, or else face his unpredictable behaviour, which she dreaded."The most important thing now is wedding rings. Couple rings are crucial," Alice replied, leading her away from the clothing section and towards the jewellery department.Alisha's mind raced as she tried to process his words. She understood the significance of the rings, but the thought of wearing one felt suffocating. This marriage wasn't her choice, and now she was expected to wear a symbol of it?If she couldn't successfully escape before the wedding, she would be forced t

    "Choose whatever you like, it's fine. I'm not sure what to pick," Alisha replied in a panic, suddenly unsure why he was so interested in her decision.With no experience wearing jewellery, Alisha found herself overwhelmed by the beautiful yet expensive rings adorned with dazzling stones. Even if she tried to base her choice on aesthetics alone, the numerous price tags made it impossible.The extravagant display was beyond Alisha's usual means, and the idea of choosing something so expensive filled her with guilt. She couldn't fathom selecting such lavish items when the money wasn't hers to spend, and she'd never indulge in such luxuries on her own."Just pick one, sweetheart. It's simple – whatever catches your eye, we'll go with that," Alice reassured her.“They all look like pleasing rocks,” Alisha answered."They're not just rocks, ma'am. They're diamonds, rubies, and other precious stones," the saleswoman interjected, her expression reflecting confusion.Both Alisha and the salesw

    “What?” Rish gasped. “She’s getting her wolf back? How come she’s getting it before me? I’m older, and we’re both in the pack now. Why is she getting hers first?”More than shocked about Levi getting her wolf, he was shocked that she was getting it before him. When he was clearly older.“Keep your voice down, Rish, she’s sleeping,” Maya hushed him. “The timing of getting your wolf back doesn’t depend on age, dumbass. It happens when it’s supposed to. Because you both didn’t get your wolves on time, it’s more difficult and painful when the process finally happens.”Alisha looked at Maya with concern. “Am I going to go through the same thing?” She was scared.Seeing Levi suffer for the last two days had been tough. Though Alisha had endured a lot before, getting a wolf seemed far more painful.“Who knows, Alisha,” Maya said honestly. “Levi and Rish were not cursed; it’s just because they weren’t in the pack that they’re only getting their wolves now. But you’re different. Your wolf is o

    "Levi, how are you feeling now?" Alisha asked, as she saw Levi pale and burning with fever.For the past two days, she had suddenly suffered from the fever, and damn, it wasn't getting any better. Her fever was only getting worse, making Levi look like she was going to die. While that may sound like an exaggeration of the situation, it was true that every hour she was fainting, and it was becoming more severe each time it happened."I'm feeling a little okay," Levi replied with difficulty, trying to smile, but failing miserably without a doubt."If you're feeling better, then why does your face look way worse than before?" Rish chimed in, his face looking stressed, showing the deep concern he had for his sister."Because...I have a fever. I'm not going to miss the World Cup because of it, so stop with these hypertensive reactions, Rish."He groaned. "Now it seems like your situation is getting better since you start having the energy to fight, which seems like a positive thing." He c

    "You're thinking too much. Even if whatever happened in the past is trying to affect your present, don't let it, because that doesn't help at all," Maya advised.Jackson snapped back from his trance and nodded his head. "That's not changing anything. She doesn't want me too, and I don't feel any love or affection towards her.""Nobody is forcing you or her to feel anything, but maybe you both should try to get along. You're both old now; it's quite useless to behave like this," Maya said, her expression conveying how she found the situation absurd yet sensible at the same time.She could totally understand Jackson, and maybe somehow Lima too, as it's hard to accept mates when you're not on the same page.But it was dumb to be like this, especially after wasting 18 years.She regretted her own actions, and now, seeing others doing worse, she couldn't hold herself back.It was like the things one wants, others easily relinquish. She was here, dying to be with her mate, and yet these two

    "Jackson, we need to talk. Why didn't you say anything about this whole situation? Not when you called her for help at the hospital, nor when we discussed going to her," Maya spoke sternly as she entered the room with him after dealing with everything.Jackson's face crunched in disgust upon hearing Maya's words, as if he had seen something weird. "Is that even important? She's a witch; helping people is her job. Why should I care? You're making it sound like a big deal, but it's not."Seeing how nonchalantly Jackson was reacting, Maya was dumbfounded. "That's not what I mean, Jackson. You know exactly what I'm trying to say here.""I don't know exactly, and you can stop talking in puzzles. It's totally fine if you talk normally.""Okay then," Maya groaned. "She's your second chance mate. Why are you so casual about it? And at the same time, you don't seem normal.""Did you skip the part where she mentioned how she rejected me, and on my part, I accepted it? Besides, it's been 18 year

    "Then what about you? Always behaving so high and mighty, you're just a witch, don't forget," Jackson growled, having had enough of this woman. Though he didn't like her from the start when she came to the pack, why was a witch even needed? But then again, she helped with healing and other things, so he let it be.But he hated her whenever their paths crossed."You're angry because you were rejected, and your whole life went to hell after your wife died, and me, just a fucking witch, rejected you as a second chance mate," Lima spat her words venomously.Maya and Alice's eyes widened in shock. Mostly Maya was stunned. Of course, she knew how Jackson lost his wife in the attack, but she never knew that Lima was his second chance mate and had rejected him too.It made sense why she didn't know, because she was away for 18 years, but this whole situation was quite strange. He showed no sign of discomfort while they talked and decided to come here."I don't want a mate like you. I had on

    "What brought you here? Let me have some peace. Didn't I tell you last time that I am now too old to help? Even when I helped before, my powers are still recovering, so find someone else," Lima softly sighed, seeing three familiar faces.It's not like she doesn't want to help, but her old bones can't assist at all. Even though Alisha is a royal heir, that doesn't mean she will put her life at stake. She is here due to a treaty, or else why would a witch live among werewolves?When the attack happened on this pack, she got sent here because Alisha's mother had some witch powers, so she was considered part of the witch side too. She helped them when they needed it, so as Lima came here to help the warriors and to heal others, she had to stay due to the circumstances, and how the pack needed her powers for healing and recovery.Now, she did help by telling about the curse and curing Alisha a bit. That doesn't mean she will keep doing it; she hates sticking her nose into business that isn

    "Come here, sit down. Now tell us what you all found," Levi immediately came with water as soon as Alice, Maya, and Jackson entered.She, Rish, and Alisha were all so eager to know what happened about the whole building scenario.And all three of them were dissatisfied too because they were left behind. Usually, they all went there to train and were very familiar with the area, but today Maya allowed no one other than Alice, who obviously saw the building, so it was necessary for him to go.Elk had some work, so he couldn't go with them or stay at home either."Let us breathe. Why are you so eager?" Maya sighed as they all settled in their seats and took the water."How can we not be eager?" Rish stated. "You all went there without us, of course we are curious, and it's so hard to keep our calm after seeing you all.""That's because it wasn't necessary for so many of us to go there, and we can't just leave one person alone here, even though this house is safe. That doesn't mean I'm no

    "Is this the place where you found the key?" Jackson asked, unsure of what to do next."Yes, this is exactly where I saw the building and got this key," Alice replied. How could he forget? Even in his dreams the previous night, he had seen that damned building and felt the exact same feeling as the moment he stood in that place. Now that they were here, the building was nowhere to be found, just as he had been unable to see it after exiting yesterday. Again, he wanted to dismiss yesterday as a dream, but this key wouldn't let that happen – nor would the vivid, detailed memory ingrained in his head.So it was useless to even try. But what now? There was no building here, and he didn't know what he was meant to do with this key.He brushed his hair back, stress clearly visible on his face. He didn't look panicked, but he was far from comfortable or at peace.This was mostly because of his involvement with the mafia; he rarely felt panic unless his mother or Alisha were somehow harmed

    "I know you've suffered a lot, but that doesn't mean it'll set things straight," Maya said, her wrinkled face showing the weight of her exhaustion and stress. "It doesn't matter, Alisha. When you're in a place where you have to fight, death is unavoidable. Did you think you'd get the Alpha position peacefully?"How could she not be tired? Everything was taking its toll on her mind; she didn't even want to count it all. Finding Alisha had been her first priority, but back then, she hadn't thought deeply about what she'd do next or how things would work out.Now, when she did think about it, it seemed like a far-fetched dream. It was as if she'd only dreamed about the starting point—finding Alisha—and then never dreamed beyond that. And now she was suffering in her success: the attack, Alisha's curse, the pack's new Alpha, and this building mystery. Everything was crushing her.She didn't even know how to mend her relationship with Elk. He'd said he forgave her, but since that day, she
