KAIThe slums were worse than I remembered.I hadn’t been here in years, but the sight of it now turned my stomach. The air was thick with the stench of waste and decay, and the ground was a mix of mud, filth, and human waste. The slum dwellers huddled together in ragged clothes, their faces gaunt and pale, some of them wheezing and coughing as they drank thin, watery soup from cracked bowls. Flies buzzed around them, and the few children I saw looked skeletal, their eyes hollow.This was the part of the Seven Isles my father had never cared about. He had poured all his resources into the capital, lavishing attention and wealth on the nobles and the elite, while the poor were left to rot in these wretched streets. He had claimed that maintaining the wealth of the capital was all that mattered, that the poor were a burden best ignored.It was why all of the werewolves had such high regard for us. They knew that we had resources and could do whatever we wanted to do, but none of them kn

KAI The air around us felt thick and heavy as we made our way deeper into the forest. Every step I took felt more uncertain than the last, the weight of what I was about to face pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket. Yara, walking ahead of me moved with her eyes closed as if she were seeing something that I couldn’t.I glanced at her, confused by her closed eyes. "Can you really see like that?" I asked, the question slipping out before I could stop myself.She smiled faintly, not breaking her stride. “I’m not seeing in the way you think, Kai. I’m feeling the magic in the air. It guides me.”I stared at her for a moment, trying to wrap my mind around that. I had always been skeptical of magic, but now I was walking beside a witch, relying on her to help me find Alina. The thought was unsettling, to say the least, but I shoved my discomfort to the back of my mind. I didn’t have the luxury of doubt. Not now. I knew how frowned upon it was, but it was worth it.We walked for wha

KAI The night was eerily quiet as Yara and I made our way back into the clearing where the skinwalkers had hidden their nest. We waited until the sun was down and it was almost midnight. We could hear them as they passed by us, and I even checked out some of them as they moved through the night. They were faster and more agile, so it made sense that they were able to catch and eat anyone that came in their way. As we reached the place where they resided, Yara and I paused. I could feel the tension in the air. Yara’s expression was grim, her eyes closed once again as she silently chanted under her breath, feeling the magic that hung in the air like a thick fog. As we stepped into the clearing, we walked as fast as we could to the place where we had seen Alina earlier. Once we reached it, I was glad to see her at the same spot. She was sitting on a stone bench, her posture unnaturally rigid, her eyes wide and vacant, and that unsettling smile still stretched across her face. My hear

ALINA My heart was in my throat as I made my way to the hospital, every step feeling heavier than the last. The person that brought us here, which assumed was the witch was gone. I had to yell out for help for the guards to come and help me. That was all five days ago. I was in the hospital too because I had lost my baby, but I felt too much trauma to even feel anything about it. I just wanted Kai to be okay. Because I was supposed to be the one in the hospital room, sick and dying from the skin walker’s venom. The weight of guilt sat on my chest like a boulder, crushing me with every breath I took. I couldn’t get the image of Kai collapsing out of my head, the way his body had crumpled when he took the venom meant for me. It should have been me. I had already failed in so many ways, but this felt like the ultimate failure. And the worst part? I hadn’t even realized just how much I still cared for him until I saw him fall. I pushed the doors open to the hospital, my hands trembling,

ALINA A week had passed, but the mourning never really ended. The pack was in a state of confusion and grief, but none of it felt real to me. Nothing had felt real since Kai’s death. I was in a painful stage of derealisation. I was walking through the motions, pretending like I was still functioning, but inside, everything was hollow. Jaime, however, had wasted no time. He had pushed for the coronation to happen as quickly as possible, and here we were—just days after Kai’s death, and Jaime was already the new alpha. He had forced everyone to move on from the traumatic event, which was not as easy as it seemed. I have never met someone that cruel, and I knew a fair share of people that were cruel. I couldn’t even believe it. None of this made sense. How could the pack move on so easily? How could they sit here, in celebration, while Kai’s body was in a crypt beneath the palace? The thought made my stomach turn. I had asked Lily earlier if there was going to be a funeral for Kai. If

ALINA The rest of the event dragged on for several hours. The alphas of the seven werewolf packs discussed. One of the seven packs had lost their entire royal family, so the representative there kept messing up which was the reason why the event was longer than expected. I almost fell asleep there because I had not slept in days. Eventually, it came to an end and the moment I stepped out of the pack court, I felt like I could finally breathe again, but the relief was short-lived. I felt Jaime following behind me, his footsteps heavy and familiar. I did not want to speak to him. My heart raced, my mind swirling with panic as I made my way to my room, praying that I could get in and lock the door before he caught up to me.But I wasn’t fast enough. Just as I reached the door, my fingers barely grazing the handle, Jaime stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I froze, my breath catching in my throat. My mind immediately flashed back to the last time he had cornered me, the way he had

ALINA Two days had passed since the chaos of that night, and now we were headed to the pack court for Lily’s hearing. I really thought he was going to back down, but I was clearly wrong. Jaime did not want to back down especially with his mother making matters worse. When we reached the court room, the tension in the air was palpable, thick with unease and fear. I had barely slept the night before, my mind consumed with worry about what was going to happen today. I wasn’t allowed to see Lily beforehand, and I knew that without proper preparation, she had little chance of winning against Jaime, the alpha of the pack.I glanced down at my gown, the fanciest one I’d worn since I became Luna. It was custom-made for me, soft silk brushing against my skin as it flowed elegantly behind me. Normally, I would have appreciated such fine craftsmanship, but today, I felt like I was wrapped in chains. This dress, this title, and everything that came with it was suffocating. It was a constant remi

ALINA The moment the judge passed the sentence, the entire courtroom erupted into chaos. Screams filled the air, the sound of people objecting to the harsh punishment echoing through the hall. But no matter how loud they yelled, it didn’t change anything. Lily had been sentenced to death, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. She had been found guilty of treason, and now, she was going to die for it.I stood frozen in my seat, my heart pounding in my chest as they took Lily away. My legs felt weak, and I had to grip the edge of my chair just to keep myself steady. This couldn’t be happening. It felt like a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from. How had it come to this? How had everything gone so horribly wrong?I watched helplessly as Lily was led out of the courtroom with her head held high. She was so brave, even in the face of death. But I knew that inside, she was terrified. I had seen it in her eyes when they announced the verdict. She didn’t want to die. And yet, J
