Chapter Twelve

Caleb’s POV

I felt a little tired this morning. I didn’t need to wonder why that was or what was causing that, knowing I had spent almost the whole night looking over the pack’s ledgers.

Normally it was Hunter and I who were supposed to that as the top ranking officers of the pack since there was no one assigned to do the job.

Hunter’s trust issues had not allowed him to appoint someone experienced in that field, leaving the job to both of us… well, to just me apparently.

But this wasn’t the reason I had a sleepless night going through pack documents. I was aware of Hunter’s disturbed mind and I didn’t was to him to bother with more pack problems.

Now, I stood in the main hall, going over the day’s agenda in my mind, when one of the palace guards approached me, his face looking serious.

The young man held out a letter, sealed with the seal of another pack obviously. “Sir,” the guard began, “this was delivered by a messenger from the Steeprock pack. I tried to find Alp

My hands trembled as I ran down the hallway, trying to get as far away from Hunter’s chambers as possible.The humiliation, the anger, the disgust… it all spun inside me like a knife. I felt sick to my stomach, like I might throw up at any moment.I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Hunter had treated me like some whore, some worthless sex slave to use and dispose of. No… I wasn’t prepared for this… not this kind of torment.When I accepted the mission, I knew there would be risks, that I might have to compromise myself in ways I wasn’t comfortable with, but this… this was something else entirely.Tears blurred my vision as I ran down the hallway, passing someone going towards Hunter’s chambers.

    Chapter FourteenFaelen’s POVAs Mary and I entered my room, I couldn’t shake the emotions still spinning inside me. I sat down on the edge of my bed, feeling drained, while Mary settled on the other end.The silence that had grown between us felt heavy, but comforting in a strange way. I didn’t know why, but I felt like I could trust her. I didn’t want to be alone with my thoughts, so I started to talk.“I don’t even know where to begin,” I said, my voice only a whisper. “He made me… he made me clean all the toilets in the estate. And as if that wasn’t enough for him. He… he forced his… in my mouth, and used me like I was some common whore, just there to please him.” I said, allowing the tears to flow. Mary’s face softened with sympathy, and she reached out to squeeze my hand. “I’m so sorry, Faelen,” she said, her voice full of concern. “But I want you to understand something… what you’ve been through, it’s not your fault. It never was.”I felt tears gathering up in my eyes again, b

    Chapter FifteenCaleb’s POVAs I walked out of Hunter’s chambers with him, the morning sun was already high unlike before I had gone in to see him. There was a little unease in my chest.I couldn’t point out why, perhaps it was because of the message from the neighboring pack, or maybe I just felt bad about Hunter’s indifference to it and to other people.“Like the poor girl,” I thought.I still had the image of that servant girl fleeing from his room in tears not too long ago. I’d seen her again just now, bent over her work, scrubbing the floor like she was trying to sink into it.The way Hunter had looked at her, the cruelty in his eyes, it was all too familiar. I had known him long enough to recognize when he was enjoying someone’s suffering.I couldn’t shake the unease. The confrontation I had just witnessed between Hunter and the girl stuck in my mind. There was something about the way she looked at him… with fear. I’d seen that look too many times before. Hunter didn’t seem to

    Chapter SixteenFaelen’s POVAfter the man who had introduced himself as Caleb left, I just stood there, frozen in place, trying to make sense of what had just happened.Caleb, the pack’s Beta, Hunter’s right-hand man, had actually apologized for the way Hunter had treated me.It didn’t make any sense to me at all. These men were supposed to be the strongest, the most ruthless, and here he was, showing kindness? No, it had to be a test, a way to see if I’d let my guard down and disrespect the Alpha. I finished cleaning the dining room, pushing thoughts of Caleb and Hunter out of my mind.I had to stay focused. My mission was all that mattered to me. Whatever Hunter did to me, however he humiliates me, it’s nothing compared to the success of my mission.I would make my Alpha proud. I had to.I wiped away the tears that had started to trickle down my cheeks. This wasn’t the time for weakness. I shouldn’t be stupid enough to get distracted by a few kind words from Caleb.Hunter’s cruelt

    Chapter SeventeenFaelen’s POVAs I walked, I couldn’t help but replay the encounter with Caleb in my head. Caleb hadn’t seemed angry or suspicious, but that didn’t mean I could trust him.He was still Hunter’s right-hand man, and I couldn’t forget that. The letter weighed on my mind, and I knew I had to figure out a way to make the information to Alpha Zodd.But how?I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts as I made my way to the kitchens. I resolved that I may have to allow myself get a little distracted by Caleb, by his apparent kindness. And perhaps also turn Hunter’s cruelty into an advantage. I made my way back to the head maid, hoping she had not asked of me while I was gone. Fortunately, there wasn’t any sign she did, so it was a good sign. The head maid just handed out remaining tasks for the afternoon to us there, then told us we had one hour to rest before starting lunch preparations.I nodded absentmindedly, barely listening to her words as I thought of how to get t

    Chapter EighteenHunter’s POVI rode through the forest, my horse thudding his hooves on the undergrown bushes. The trees stood tall and thick, their branches forming a canopy above.This was the southern border, the very edge of our territory, where the earth had revealed its secrets a few weeks ago… gold, and plenty of it. The recent letter from the Steeprock pack had been annoying. A warning and hidden threat, no less, about activities encroaching into their land.They seemed to think they could intimidate me with threats and letters. I had always found such attempts laughable. Their Alpha, like the rest, was weak compared to me.The only reason I took the letter seriously enough to visit the site today was to ensure that the operation remained under control and to plan the next steps in securing the gold without any interference.As I approached the site, where I had my most trusted men on the job, I could see the machines at work in the distance, and the men working tirelessly.

Two of Hunter’s guards were dragging someone roughly toward the estate, and it took me a moment to realize who it was… Faelen.Her tear-soaked face was overwhelmed with fear and pain, and my heart raced at the sight. What in the name of the moon had Hunter done now?I rushed over, my pulse quickening. “What the hell are you doing?” I barked at the guards as I reached them. “Why are you dragging this girl like that?”The guards barely looked at me, their faces hard and indifferent. “Alpha’s orders,” one of them grunted. “He commanded us to bring her to his chambers.”I felt a rush of anger at their casual response. “Why?” I demanded, trying to keep the anger out of my voice, though it was almost impossible.The other guard shrugged, his grip on Faelen not tightening even harder. “We don’t know. We’re just following orders, sir.”I clenched my fists, my frustration mounting quickly. It wa

And yet, I couldn’t shake off the anger that continued to boil inside me, not just at him, but at myself.I turned my gaze back to Faelen, who was standing there, trembling slightly, the handkerchief clutched tightly in her hand.Her long red hair covered most of her face, and those gorgeous wide eyes of hers… always so full of fear, always making me feel… something I didn’t want to feel.Her presence there weakened me, more than I cared to admit. “Why do you have to make things so difficult, huh?” I muttered under my breath, more to myself than to her.My words came out louder than I intended, but I didn’t care.

It was as if the world had shifted, and everything I had known, everything I had feared, had been replaced by something entirely new… a future I had never dared imagine.I woke up next to Hunter every morning, and with each passing day, it felt more and more like a dream.I could hardly believe that I, Faelen… the girl who had once been a slave, a spy, a tool for manipulation… was now beside him.I hadn’t expected any of it. I thought, perhaps, that I would remain on the fringes of his world, a pawn in the game, but Hunter had changed that.He had proven his loyalty to me, time and again, and I had returned it with all my heart. We were one with each other, in a way that felt right.We were connected… living side by side, laughing together, even sharing those quiet moments that spoke a lot without a single word.Since the night of the celebration of victory, I

Without her, we wouldn’t have been in the position to strike when we did.It didn’t take long for the survivors to come to us… the harmless members of the pack, who had also suffered from Zodd’s cruelty no doubt.Raid, Faelen’s friend was among them. I had promised Faelen the chance to reunite with her best friend earlier, and now I had.I knew it would be an emotional moment for both of them, I couldn’t help but watch closely, watching Faelen walk towards Raid, a soft smile on her face as they locked eyes.There was an exchange, too quiet for me to hear, but I didn’t need to know the words.

For once, I felt sure that we would strike the right blow at the right time.I had always been a leader who trusted in my warriors, but there was something different about this attack.It wasn’t just my warriors who we depended on to make the difference. It was Faelen. Her knowledge of Zodd, his tactics, his weaknesses… it had made this possible.I trusted her more than anyone, and though we had never fully spoken of it, I could feel the bond between us growing stronger. Not just as leaders, but as something more.The moon hung low in the sky, the light spilling across the darkened trees. The forest was quiet, li

    Chapter Seventy-sixHunter’s POV After the breakfast, we barely made it to the office when I sent a message for Caleb to join us soon.But now, as I watched Faelen move slowly around the room, her gaze resting on the framed photographs on the walls, my mind shifted completely from any strategy session.There was something about the way she stood there, her fingers grazing the edges of a picture, her expression lost in thought, that stirred something deep in me.If I’d known she’d come looking for me last night, I’d have returned the second I finished at the stables.The thought of her waiting, wondering where I was, brought a flash of desire that caught me off guard.My chest tightened, and before I knew it, I was crossing the room, unable to resist the pull any longer.Sliding my arms around her waist, I pulled her to me, and she spun in my hold, her wide eyes meeting mine.Before she could say a word, I pressed my lips to hers, pouring everything I felt into the kiss.

    Chapter Seventy-fiveFaelen’s POV The morning sun streamed through my window, pulling me from the light, restless sleep I’d managed to catch after a night filled with endless thoughts.My mind picked up exactly where it had left off, circling around Hunter’s absence, the plan I wanted to share, and, undeniably, the burning question of where he’d been.I knew he was more than capable of taking care of himself, but a strange feeling had clawed at me through the night.And worse… some jealous part of my mind whispered that maybe he’d spent the night with someone else.Hunter was, after all, a powerful and desirable Alpha. Every woman in the pack seemed to orbit around him, from the noble daughters of allied families to the giggling servants.As much as I tried to shrug it off, the thought stuck. I wasn’t exactly one of his official “consorts,” and though we shared something far deeper than just passion, there had never been talk of loyalty or commitment.But the idea of him with someone

    Chapter Seventy-fourFaelen’s POV That night, I lay in bed, turning over every possibility in my mind, knowing Alpha Zodd wouldn’t let his recent defeat here go unanswered.I couldn’t shake the thought that he’d already heard of my defection. Someone must have informed him by now, and I knew the rage he’d feel.I could even almost picture it… Zodd’s eyes blazing, his infamous rage twisting his face as he unleashed his anger on anyone nearby.I used to stay far from his wrath, feeling an instinctive survival need to avoid setting him off, yet now, the very idea of him made me feel only disgust.I wondered how I had spent so much of my life under him, convincing myself I could tolerate it, or that it was simply the way things were.And now, lying in the safety of the Howle Wulf pack, I felt something I’d barely dared to hope for back in Belladonna… a fierce gladness that I’d escaped.I knew I might have stayed in Zodd’s shadow forever, accepting his cruelty, believing I had no choice.

    Chapter Seventy-threeHunter’s POVSeated alone in my office that morning, I tried to focus on the endless papers spread across my desk, yet all my mind seemed capable of doing was going back to last night with Faelen.A faint smile tugged at my lips as I recalled every detail… the way her hair fell in waves across the pillow, her soft laughs, the warmth of her body against mine.I’d left her early, quietly slipping out to keep up appearances and make it to the office without drawing attention. But the memory lingered, a welcome distraction from my usual routine.The door creaked open, and I looked up to see Caleb stepping inside, his expression serious. My smile faded as I straightened, noting the urgency in his eyes.“What’s going on, Caleb?” I asked, gesturing for him to come in.He closed the door behind him and stepped forward. “I have news from the scouts and spies,” he began, his voice low and wary. “The Belladonna Pack… They’re regrouping for another attack.“What?” I asked, r

    Chapter Seventy-twoHunter’s POV Waking up in Faelen’s bed, I lay still for a moment, letting the early morning sun which pierced through the window settle over us. The warmth of Faelen’s body beside me was a reminder of the steamy night we’d shared, every detail printed into my mind.Her bare shoulder peeked out from under the sheets, her red hair spilling around her face like fire against her pillow.Laying there, she looked almost unreal, soft and breathtaking… like an angel… in her sleep.My fingers itched to reach out to her again, but I held back, not wanting to disturb the rare peace that she had in this moment.Slowly, I shifted, slipping out of the bed with a careful, measured silence. I gathered my clothes and moved away slightly.I glanced over at her every few seconds, as if to check that she was still there, that last night hadn’t been some hazy dream.As I pulled my shirt over my shoulders, I couldn’t help but recall the warmth of her touch against my skin, or the swee

For the first time, I felt like maybe I could be more than a pawn in someone else’s game.The days that followed were filled with new routines for me as I tried to settle into my place among the pack.Hunter, of course, was never far. I would find him stopping by while I helped the pack with library work, hauling supplies, or tending to small tasks around the offices.His face held that half smile of his, and sometimes he’d shake his head at me, urging me to take a break.But I couldn’t.
