KAI I felt sick to my core. Guilt clawed at me, heavy and relentless, as I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I barely recognized the man looking back at me. The weight of the lie I had told Alina was suffocating, and Nyx’s voice echoed in the back of my mind, a constant reminder that I had gone too far.‘I warned you,’ Nyx growled, his frustration palpable. ‘You shouldn’t have lied. You should’ve been honest with her from the start.’ He had been repeating those words in my head since in the morning that they are starting to feel monotonous. Even when I was busy he was still trying to talk to me. I clenched my fists, trying to block him out even though I knew he was right but I did not need constant reminders of that. I had messed up. In a moment of desperation, I had fabricated the story about Nyx being in pain, using it as an excuse to convince Alina into marrying me. It had seemed like the only way to fix everything, the only way to secure the throne and prot

ALINAI felt nothing. As I walked away from the pack, the place that was supposed to be my home, my future, all I could think about was how numb I felt. It was like everything inside me had shut down. My mind kept racing through the people who had betrayed me. Alex, Kai, Xavier. Kai again. I couldn’t even muster the strength to shed a tear. I had cried so much before, but now, there was nothing left. I was empty. I thought I had found a chance to be happy here. I thought that maybe, after everything I had been through, I could finally have a place where I belonged. I was such a fool to believe that.I kept walking, my steps slow and aimless, not caring where I was going. The borders of the pack were dangerous. I knew that when I made the split second decision to leave and when I was packing my bags but as I stepped out, the murders and the threats didn’t seem to matter anymore. What was the point of being careful when everything had already fallen apart? I couldn’t bring myself to ca

KAIThe sharp sting of Alina’s slap radiated down my face, settling deep in my chest. It wasn’t just the physical pain, it was her anger, the betrayal in her eyes that caused me the real pain that I was feeling deep down in my chest. I deserved it. Every bit of it. But that didn’t make it any easier to swallow. I knew that it was going to end with this one day. She was going to find out and she was going to hate me, and somehow I had braced myself up for it. But I did not want it to be so soon. “Alina, please,” I said, my voice tight with emotion and desperation. “I can explain—”“I don’t want to hear it!” she snapped, cutting me off before I could even try to justify myself. After she was done hitting me, she leaned away from me and the pain in her eyes nearly made me crumble. But her words hit harder than the slaps. I knew she didn’t want to listen to me, not after everything I had done. I had lied, and manipulated her, and now, she wanted nothing to do with me. I had pushed her to

KAII stayed with Alina for several hours, thinking of what I was going to say to her when she woke up. My face was still bruised from all of the slaps. I was surprised that Lily did not make a comment on them because I saw her eyeing my face. I guess she understood what happened between us and did not want to make the situation worse for me by talking about it. After I decided that I was genuinely confused about what I was going to say to her when she woke up, I decided to do something different. I was going to go and meet the man that is going to take my throne.I stormed through the palace halls, my mind filled with disbelief. My cousin Jaime, of all people, was the one they had chosen to replace me. I had sacrificed everything for this throne, and now it was slipping through my fingers. I was not going to do all of that in vain. I had sacrificed my entire life training to be an alpha. Ever since I was young, they had always trained me on what it was going to be like to be a great

ALINAI woke up feeling groggy, my mind heavy with the remnants of sleep, but the second I opened my eyes and saw the familiar surroundings, anger flooded through me. I was back in my room, the one that I had just escaped from. I was back in the Seven Isles. For a moment, I lay there, the events of the past few hours rushing back to me. Kai had drugged me. He had forced me back here against my will, despite everything yet again. My chest tightened as the anger flared hotter, and I sat up in bed, swinging my legs over the edge. I felt the rush of betrayal, and all I wanted to do was teach him a lesson he would never forget.My hand instinctively went to my neck, where I always wore the necklace that belonged to my mother, the one thing I had left of her. It brought me so much comfort and when I woke up, one of the first things that I noticed was that my neck felt too empty. But when my fingers brushed my skin, I felt nothing. My heart stopped. The necklace was gone. Panic seized me im

ALINAI wanted to leave. Every inch of me screamed to get out of this place, to escape the web of lies and manipulation that had trapped me. But Maria and Nina had told me there was a lockdown in the pack. No one was allowed to leave or enter because of the dangers that had been going on in the pack. Kai had gotten my necklace back. He got it the same day that I asked him to get it for me, and I could not even be thankful to him because he was the reason why I had lost it. Instead whenever I saw him, I was filled with a burning rage.I felt trapped, like a caged animal, and the fact that Kai had orchestrated all of this made my blood boil. Every time he came to my room, trying to talk, trying to explain, I shut him out. It didn’t matter what he had to say. Nothing could undo what he had done. The fact that he thought that he was going to be able to sway me was what stunned me the most. His audacity was alarming. Earlier today, he had come with flowers, of all things, as if that would

ALINA I stood there, stunned, staring at Jaime like he had just suggested something completely absurd. Which, to be honest, he had. Marry him? Out of nowhere? First of all, I did not even know who the hell he was apart from him being Kai’s cousin. The fact that he thought it was safe for him to come and tell me this was making my head spin with confusion. He must be sick in the head. “Excuse me?” I finally managed to say, blinking in disbelief.Jaime smiled, unfazed by my reaction. He still stood his ground, and here I was thinking that he was actually going to laugh it off and say that it was a joke. He was as serious as he could be. “You heard me. Marry me.”I shook my head, trying to wrap my mind around what he was saying. “Why would you want me to marry you?”His expression turned more serious, though that cocky smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth. “Because I need a strong Luna by my side,” he said simply. “And you’re exactly that. You’ve been through a lot, you’re

KAI The next few days were hard. I could barely think straight. The whiskey I had been drowning myself in had done little to numb the pain. It had worked before. Whenever I was in pain and resorted to taking alcohol, it worked like magic to take the pain away. But this time was just too much for alcohol to the magic on. I had tried too many times to drown myself in it, but all I was doing was destroying myself because numbing the pain was not the solution to all of this. Alina wasn’t listening, the council had completely turned their backs on me, and everything I had worked for was falling apart. I felt lost, like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, with no way to pull myself back. Nothing in my life was going well and the worst thing was that there was no one I could blame for this. Whenever I felt the urge to find the root of my problems, all I could do was look at myself in the mirror because I was the root cause of everything. I’d wanted to talk to her, to make her see reaso

Four years laterALINA Years had passed, and life in the pack had settled in a way I had never imagined. As I stood in my bakery, gazing out the window and watching children run around, a warm smile played on my lips. It was one of those beautiful, crisp autumn mornings when the sunlight filtered through the trees, casting soft golden shadows across the cobblestones. My heart felt light, a rare but cherished feeling I’d come to treasure over time. My life had felt unreal for the past years. My two children, Kian and Liana, were heading off to school for the first time today. The thought made me emotional, but it also made me proud. Watching them grow up reminded me of just how far we’d come. With a sigh, I turned back to the bakery, smoothing my apron. The smell of freshly baked bread, warm spices, and sweet pastries filled the room. I had opened the bakery and bookshop a few years ago, not long after my children were born. It had quickly become one of the most beloved spots in the

ALINA It was my wedding day, and I was bursting with a mix of excitement and nerves. I sat in front of the mirror, my heart racing as my mother fluffed out the skirt of my dress, her hands gentle. I couldn’t believe this was finally happening. After everything Kai and I had been through, we were here, about to say our vows. It almost felt like a dream that I was going to be woken up from. I was so happy that it felt like there was an end to it. That I was just deluding myself by being happy. I glanced at my mother, her face calm and focused as she adjusted the veil atop my head.“You look beautiful, Alina,” she said, her eyes softening as she took a step back to admire me. Her voice was full of pride, and I could see a shimmer of emotion in her gaze. “You’re radiant.”I took a deep breath, feeling my nerves intensify. “Mom, I’m nervous,” I confessed, fidgeting with the lace on my dress. “What if something goes wrong?”She chuckled softly, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Ev

KAI I did not know how I managed to make the witches come on my side, but I did. I knew that they were crucial in my plan of getting the skin walkers away from my pack, but I did not think they would come around in just one meeting. All of this really happened because of Alina’s mother. If she had not been around, I did not know if I was going to be able to get them but now I did and I was the happiest about it. I felt bad that I tried to sabotage her coming here in the first place. Since time had passed and I saw that there was a visible bad account of her being in the pack, I was grateful. Everyone found out that maybe witches were not that bad after all. We have been told the bad news about them all of the time by our parents, but maybe it was just because they hated them and they were trying to push that hate onto us too. Maybe that was the reason. Or maybe we have not yet seen the bad part of having witches around us, and I hoped that it was not going to happen any time soon.

Chapter 80ALINA The merging of the Seven Isles, the Waterstone Pack, and Blackstone Pack had finally come together smoothly, though it hadn’t been an easy process. Months of strategizing, deliberating, and forging alliances had brought Kai to this moment. It was the best three months of my life. Having my mother and Kai beside me through all of this was something I didn’t even know I deserved.I was so happy for the first time in my life. It felt like I did not even deserve everything that has been going on. The packs were now unified, and as a result, they were stronger against their common enemy—the skin walkers. The witches, with me have strategized the way we are going to kill them. My mother had been a good help. She had a lot of experience so she was helping all of us. She was a great teacher. Kai was glad that I had brought her back to life now, and so are the elders and lords. She had been great help. If she didn’t come back, then we would have all been dead by now. The ski

Chapter 79KAII was panicking. The entire night I spent pacing back and forth, replaying everything that had happened between Alina and me. The way her eyes had looked so hurt when I didn’t defend her, the way she stormed out with her mother—angry and disappointed. And now, she hadn’t come back. I gave her the night, thinking maybe she just needed some space, but when she didn’t return the next morning, panic surged through me.What did I even expect sending her out? Of course she wouldn’t be back trying to beg me to come back in the palace. That wasn’t the type of person she was. And it was all my damn fault. I couldn’t focus on anything else. I had a meeting scheduled with the new elders I appointed at the Black Water Pack, but my mind was elsewhere—on her. Even as I sluggishly got ready, everything felt out of sync. When I finally made my way into the meeting room, I could tell everyone was already waiting, but I couldn’t muster the energy to care. My thoughts were consumed by A

ALINA I couldn’t shake the feeling of betrayal gnawing at my heart as I walked away from the palace with my mother by my side. The sting of Kai’s rejection, the way he hadn’t backed me in front of Aunt Arya weighed heavy on my chest. I’d expected him to stand by me, to protect me like he always had, but instead, he chose fear over love.After all, I did. I risked my mother’s life and mine to save him from the skinwalkers. I was a newbie witch so I possibly could not do all of that. But my mother helped me siphon magic from some of the artifacts that contained magic. She told me that it could kill me, doing that, but I still went ahead to do it because I could not stand Kai getting hurt when there was something I could do about it. How he had driven me out of his house simply because of something he saw, not knowing that my mother was trying to wield back strength after what I went through while killing the white walkers. As we made our way through the winding streets, the evening ai

KAI A day had passed, but the events of yesterday still weighed heavily on my mind. Alina’s mother—brought back from the dead. The skin walkers. The power Alina wielded was undeniable but dangerous. Even with everything going on around me, I could not help but feel like it was all a dream, yet the growing unease I felt was very real. I knew I had to talk to someone about it, and Lily was the only one who could help me make sense of this chaos.When I found her in the meeting room, I didn’t waste any time. “Lily,” I began, running a hand through my hair, “something happened yesterday… something big.”She looked up from her notes, sensing the tension in my voice. “What happened? Is everything okay?”I shook my head, taking a seat across from her. “Alina brought her mother back from the dead using magic. Can you even believe it?”Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? How? I mean, I know she’s a witch, but… bringing someone back from the dead? That’s ancient, forbidden magic. If not

KAI Alina was gone for a few hours and I was growing more anxious by the second. She had left without a word of where she was going and the longer I searched, the more desperate I became. I took a team of guards with me, scouring the pack and the outskirts of the pack’s border.I had to find her. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, that something was terribly wrong. The feeling had been there for a while. I knew people wanted to kill her. A lot of them, and the longer she was out the more chances there are that someone that hated her saw her and hurt her. I couldn’t handle the sinking feeling at my stomach. A while after we had searched all the possible places, I decided to go out of the pack with a few guards. I knew it was a death sentence. I was putting my guards and myself in danger, but I needed to find her. I hated that she was the reason I had to do all of this. I hated that she put me in a spot like this, to fight and put myself in impossible situations

KAI I woke up with a heavy weight on my chest, the reality of Alina’s situation pressing down on me. She was in danger, and the whispers in the pack court were growing louder. I couldn’t shake the fear that her name would be dragged through the mud simply because of her association with me. As I prepared for the day, I felt a determination building within me—I needed to clear her name.The next morning, I entered the pack court, and the atmosphere felt charged. Conversations hushed as I walked in, eyes following my every move. I could feel the weight of their judgment. When I took my seat, the court was soon filled with a mix of members, including farmers and lords. The first to speak was a farmer who looked distraught.“My daughter is dead!” he cried, his voice breaking with emotion. “She was taken from us by the skin walkers. We’ve lost too many of our kin. We can’t keep living like this!”My heart ached for him. “I’m sorry for your loss. We will take measures to protect our pack f
