ALINA

The tension in the air was suffocating as we sat together in the cold, damp cell, our breaths shallow and our hearts heavy. Jaime had finally snapped. After Lily’s disappearance during the execution, he was furious, his paranoia growing by the minute. It didn’t take long for him to turn his anger toward us, demanding that we explain what had happened. When no one could offer him the answers he wanted, he had us imprisoned.

Now, Aunt Arya, Nina, Maria, and I were locked away, trapped in this dark and cramped cell. The walls were damp, the smell of mildew thick in the air, and the floor was cold against our feet. Aunt Arya sat against the wall, her arms around Nina, who was softly crying. Maria was pacing, her hands wringing nervously, while I sat in the corner, trying to think of something—anything—that could get us out of this mess.

“I don’t understand why he’s doing this,” Maria muttered, her voice barely above a whisper. “We didn’t do anything wrong.”

    KAI The ride to Blackstone felt like I was traveling through the past, my thoughts spiraling to Alina and everything she had shared with me about this place during our brief friendship phase before I fucked it up. I kissed the nights when she felt comfortable enough to open up about her past to me. She told me about her father, the cruel beta who had never shown her a shred of love since her mother her died. Her step-sister Beck who had made her life hell, and Alex, the alpha’s son who had broken her heart without a second thought. Each of them, in their own ways, had contributed to the pain Alina had suffered. And now, I was here to finish what she started. To end the cycle of power that had crushed her.I was not going there only to conquer to the pack which is mostly the main reason. I wanted to get Alina back the justice she deserved by hurting back the people that did that to her. They had destroyed and broken her so much to the point that she used to cry whenever she told me a

    ALINA “Are you sure you do not know anything about this?” I asked Aunt Arya while we were on our way to the court where we were going to be on trial. They had gotten the witch hunter who was going to come and check if any of us was associated with magic. I honestly did not know that this was such a big thing for him. “Yes, I do not.” She shook her head. She looked over at Maria and Lily, and they were both scared. I did not want to tell them that I knew why this was happening. It was a witch, but it was not what they expected. If I told them Kai was related to a witch I do not know if they would be able to forgive him. When we reached it, I stood there, heart pounding in my chest. My mind was racing, every step feeling heavier than the last as we approached the great throne that Jamie was sitting on, his face in a tight frown. Aunt Arya, Nina, Maria, and I were surrounded by Jamie’s guards, their faces cold and merciless. We were trapped, and every glance exchanged between us was f

    KAI I ran to Alina, my heart pounding against my chest as I reached her still body. Her skin was pale, her lips slightly parted, but there was no sign of life. Panic seized me as I crouched down beside her, shaking her gently at first, then harder.“Alina,” I called, my voice rough, almost unrecognizable from the fear tightening my throat. She didn’t move, not even a flicker. My bones froze in place. This couldn’t be happening. Not now, not after everything.I stood up, my chest heaving as I whipped around to face the witch hunter. The cold look on his face sent a fresh wave of fury crashing through me. This was his doing. I stalked toward him, my hands shaking with rage.“Reverse it!” I demanded, my voice laced with venom. “Bring her back, NOW!”The witch hunter smirked, a twisted sense of satisfaction clear in his eyes. “No,” he hissed, standing his ground.My Lycan instincts roared to life. I could feel my fangs elongate, the beast within me clawing to the surface. Without anothe

    ALINA When I woke up, my head was pounding like someone had struck me repeatedly with a hammer. Groaning, I reached for the small bottle of pills I kept on my bedside table and swallowed a couple, hoping the painkillers would soon take effect. I closed my eyes for a moment before I decided to take a bath. I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled over to the mirror, still half-asleep. As I stared at my reflection, something felt off. I blinked several times, trying to focus. My white hair strands—the ones that had always been there in small streaks—were longer. Much longer. And there were more patches of white spread throughout my hair, giving it an eerie contrast against the rest of my dark locks. I ran my fingers through it, confused. It wasn’t like this yesterday, was it?Did something happen between yesterday and today or was it because I was struck by the witch hunter? Shaking off the weird feeling, I decided it wasn’t worth dwelling on for too long. Maybe the stress from the pa

    Alina's POV“Evan!” My voice rang through the hallway as I halted midway, my footsteps echoing to a stop. Evan's name tore from my lips with anguish.My voice trembled, a mixture of anguish and raw anger. I had no idea why I was angry. I was even more devastated than the anger I felt coursing through my veins. No, I must be mistaken. This shouldn't be. I was overreacting. The letter, this pendant, they meant nothing. I wanted to believe that, so I knew I had to check the pendant again to be sure.My fingers traced the intricate design of the pendant. I held my breath as I carefully removed the pendant I had on my own necklace and aligned it with the one I found in Evan's room. My eyes widened when the two pieces clicked together perfectly and seamlessly.A shiver danced in my spine as I looked at the fitted pendant. This was my mother's pendant. I had kept this other half without any hope of finding the other half. It was rare; it wasn't what anyone would just get at a jewellery store

    ALINAI hadn’t left my room in two days. The weight of everything that had happened pressed down on me like a suffocating blanket. I needed time to process the events, but staying cooped up in my room only made my anxiety grow. It crept into me whenever I closed my eyes and tried to sleep: All I could replay in my head was that day and how everyone started to chant at me, like I was some abomination. No one also came to meet me, except for Kai. I wasn’t sure if anyone else knew about it— the immediate family members. I was expecting Aunt Arya, Nina and Maria to come and meet me to at least but they didn’t. I wondered if they were not avoiding me because of what they heard. Did they really believe that I was a witch? The thought of that hurt me a lot, that they would just accept it and not come to find out by themselves. I thought we had developed a closer connection when we were locked up by Jaime but I guess I was wrong. Eventually, I forced myself to get out of bed and decided to

    KAI I was pacing in my chambers when the summons came. A guard knocked on the door, his eyes downcast. “Alpha, the lords and elders have called for an urgent meeting in the court.”My stomach twisted into a knot. Ever since Alina’s powers had manifested, I knew this moment would come. Whispers had spread through the pack like wildfire. The word “witch” had been spoken too many times, and now, the lords and elders were demanding answers.I couldn’t just shut them off. They were a key element in the development of the pack so just shutting them down was not an answer, especially right now when I knew I was wrong. I was so wrong. I was protecting something they all thought was an enemy, but they didn’t understand.She was my mate. She was the only person I could go to war for and kill for without thinking it over. I loved her. I knew what I signed up for being alpha. I needed to put the pack before everyone, but I don’t think I will be able to that to Alina. She was my everything. I wo

    ALINA They took me a to a cell and so much time had passed that I didn’t even register how many hours had really passed. Some time later, the door was opened and they took me out. I yelled out at them for so long, hoping that Kai was going to come to my rescue but he never did. My heart was pounding in my chest as I was led to the center of the pack court, my hands shackled in iron cuffs. The weight of the metal was nothing compared to the crushing anxiety I felt inside. I had heard whispers about the witch trials, the way they had been used to “test” those accused of witchcraft in the past, and I knew the odds were stacked against me. These trials were designed to prove guilt, not innocence. Now that I was here and it was too late, I wished I had spent my time trying to study about the witch trials. Maybe it wouldn’t be that bad then. Kai was standing at the far end of the court, his face pale, his eyes full of guilt and fear. It was the last thing I wanted to see before facing t

    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
