Murmurs of agreement spread through the crowd behind us.I clenched my fists, seething with rage.It was clear now why Tristan and Leah made tonight’s banquet so extravagant, inviting everyone they could.—They were using public opinion to force Asher into signing the contract with Blazewood Pack!"
Evelyn’s POVTristan’s face darkened.He stared at me as though today was the first time he knew me.Leah just got back on her feet. Her nose was running with blood, which destroyed all her makeup. Her face was a mess.“You think threatening us will get you what you want? No way! Tristan won’t let y
Tristan frowned, clearly contemplating my words.Leah gasped sharply and screamed, “Tristan, you’re not seriously considering her proposal, are you?! She backstabbed us when she brought her home pack on board. She brutally rejected you. This woman has no faith, no loyalty—”“Do you have a better ide

He gently pulled me into his arms and led me into the dance floor."I saw you drowning back there, so I came to ask for a dance. Hope you don't mind," he said, gazing down at me."Not at all! In fact, I'm relieved. I'm just a bit puzzled by why everyone is so enthusiastic today," I mused. "Tristan t
Leah's POV My father's curses sent a chill down my spine. "No, Father, please... don’t hang up!" I gripped the phone tightly, pleading. "This was all just an accident..." "The only reason I allowed you and that useless brat Tristan to go to Blazewood Pack was because you told me he controls the C

A frustrated growl ripped from my throat. “Then what do you suggest?”“You still got Carnival City. Go back and focus on your work. Get yourself more leverage before returning to the table. Or just return to Emerald Howl Pack. Storm Fang Pack is a mess, and honestly? It’s out of your league.”He wan
Evelyn’s POVCyrus let out a dry laugh. “This woman is something else. Honestly, she might be even more dangerous than Leah.”I clenched my fists, staring at the TV as the interview continued.“Luna Selene, where is Alpha Asher now? Can you tell us about his condition?” a reporter asked.Luna.What
His smirk remained, but his eyes were like ice.“And you, Leah,” he continued, his voice quiet but sharp, “I don’t recall ever allowing you anywhere near this room. You disobeyed my orders.”Leah flinched under his stare, her lips trembling. “Why shouldn’t I be here? I’m your mate! Is this how you t
Evelyn’s POVPain.It hurt so much I felt like I was splitting apart. I couldn’t control my body, like I was sinking deeper into a pool of thick mud.‘Wake up, girl.’ Elin’s voice echoed in my mind, firm and urgent. ‘Now’s not the time to sleep. We still have things to do.’Right. We had things to d
I stumbled back, but his tail wrapped around my wrist, pulling me with him as we tore down the hallway.“Keep up, Luna!” Dorian shouted.More of Johnson’s men flooded in from every direction. Dorian was fast, his movements like a shadow weaving through the chaos, striking down anyone in his path.Bu
Evelyn’s POVI didn’t think when I stabbed him.My body moved before my brain even registered what I was doing. By the time I snapped back to reality, he was already lying at my feet, my dagger lodged in his chest, blood pooling beneath him.“You… you freak…”He stared at me with a mixture of shock
“You don’t get to negotiate.”“Fine then go enjoy your miserable, lonely life! No mate bond, no mate! Good chance you’ll end up in a whorehouse just like your dear mother—”I trembled with rage.Before I could react, Asher lunged forward, yanked him up by his collar, and shoved a dagger straight int
Evelyn’s POVI curled up inside the storage crate, bouncing up and down in the darkness for over half an hour before I finally felt the vehicle come to a stop. The crate was lifted, carried down from the truck.Then, I heard muffled voices.“...This is this week’s supply run, right?”“Yeah. Careful
He looked down at himself, then turned his terrified eyes toward us. A few seconds later, a foul stench filled the air. I wrinkled my nose in disgust. He had pissed himself.“I just injected you with a tracker and a micro-bomb,” Asher said calmly, tucking the gun away. “You’re going to do exactly wh
