ALPHA LUCIUS'S POV

The ornate oak doors of my office swung open with a force that rattled the crystal decanter on my desk. A whirlwind of silver hair and crackling energy filled the room – Nana. My formidable advisor and confidante hadn't just entered; she'd stormed in, her fury a tangible presence in the air.

I wasn't surprised. The memo announcing the coronation festivities must have reached her desk. A faint glimmer of amusement flickered within me, quickly extinguished by the storm brewing before me. No one dared speak to me like that, no one except Nana.

"Lucius Tiberius," she roared, her voice vibrating with barely contained rage, "what in the seven hells have you done?"

I leaned back in my chair, steepling my fingers in front of me. "Good afternoon, Nana. To what do I owe the pleasure of your… explosive arrival?"

Her scowl deepened. "Don't you play that coy game with me, boy. You know damn well what I'm talking about. This coronation… this public spectacle! You haven't even disc

    VESTA'S POVThe insistent rapping on my door shattered the peaceful solitude of my apartment. I groaned, shoving myself out of the comfortable sprawl on my couch. Glancing at the clock, I muttered a curse under my breath. Who on earth would be visiting at this ungodly hour – well, almost ungodly? It was only eight in the evening, but my introverted soul craved an early night in.Throwing on a light sweater over my tank top, I padded to the door and flung it open. Dom stood there, a sheepish grin plastered on his face."Hey, Lila," he greeted, his voice laced with a hint of nervousness. "Sorry to bother you so late, but I just wanted to…""Everything alright, Dom?" I interrupted, my worry momentarily pushing aside my annoyance. "Is it an emergency?"He chuckled, shaking his head. "No emergencies, thankfully. Just… pack business. You see, I'm compiling a list of warriors who will be accompanying Alpha Theodore to the royal palace for the coronation."My heart skipped a beat, a flicker of

    ALPHA LUCIUS'S POVA satisfied smirk played on my lips as I scanned the list presented by Marcus. It was a confirmation of what I already knew – Vesta wouldn't be gracing the coronation with her presence. No name resembling hers, no "Lila" either, the alias my private investigator had unearthed."As expected," I murmured, a low rumble that echoed in the stillness of my chambers.Marcus cleared his throat, his ever-present stoicism masking whatever thoughts swirled within him. "So, Your Majesty," he began, "what are your next steps?"A low chuckle escaped my lips. "Next steps, Marcus? We postpone the coronation."His eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Postpone? But… the invitations have already been sent, preparations are underway…""Precisely," I interrupted, a glint of amusement dancing in my eyes. "Imagine the disarray it will cause. The whispers, the speculation. It will be… entertaining."Marcus remained silent, but his posture spoke volumes – disapproval. He wasn't one for unnecessary

    VESTA'S POVRelief washed over me like a tidal wave as Dom informed me that my suspension was officially lifted. No more lectures about proper pack conduct, no more restrictions on training. I was a free woman… well, mostly."And the coronation," Dom added, his voice laced with curiosity, "it's been postponed."My heart skipped a beat. Postponed? Why? A million questions swirled in my mind, each one shrouded in suspicion. But I couldn't very well ask Dom, could I? Not without revealing the truth about my past, the very truth I'd been desperately trying to bury."Postponed?" I echoed, feigning surprise. "What a strange turn of events. Any idea why?"Dom shrugged. "No official announcement. Just… silence from the royal palace. Maybe they're having second thoughts about the whole celebration" he added.Dom chuckled, pulling me closer. "Speaking of which," he murmured, his lips brushing against my ear, "are you still mad at me for trying to pressure you into attending that coronation thing

The news, a cruel whisper carried through the gossiping halls, had settled in my gut like a venomous stone. The coronation – postponed.I slammed my hand down on the vanity, the gold-rimmed mirror shuddering under the impact. Tiara and Maki, my ever-present handmaidens, flinched at the sudden noise."What is it, Your Grace?" Tiara ventured cautiously, her voice laced with concern."What is it?" I echoed, my voice dripping with scorn. "Don't you two know anything? Apparently, the grand coronation, the supposed pinnacle of my existence, has been… postponed."Maki, usually quick with a comforting word, remained silent. I knew the news had shaken them as well. But their concern was a mere annoyance compared to the inferno raging within me."The last person to find out, of course," I continued, my voice a low growl. "The Luna herself. A mere afterthought in this grand spectacle."Tiara opene

Rage, a primal and searing entity, coiled within me. How dare she? Ayra, the woman I'd chosen as Luna in a desperate attempt to maintain stability, had attempted to take my life.The irony wasn't lost on me. I'd been too lenient, too willing to overlook her sniveling and tantrums. Perhaps I'd mistaken her blatant disrespect for youthful defiance. But this… this was a declaration of war.Nana, her weathered face an impassive mask, stood sentinel in the corner of the dungeon. Maki, the omega Ayra had sent on this treacherous errand, knelt in the center of the room, a whimpering mess. Blood caked her face, a testament to the interrogation she'd just endured."Speak, whelp," Nana rasped, her voice cracking with barely contained fury. "Where did you acquire this… concoction?"Maki flinched, her voice barely a whimper. "The w-witch v-village…

Today, the truth, the whole ugly truth, would slither out of my mouth and stain the perfect picture we'd painted of our little life together."Dom," I ventured, my voice barely a whisper.He finally turned, his eyes searching mine, a flicker of confusion swirling in their depths. "Yeah, Lila?""Listen," I began, forcing a lightness to my tone that felt foreign on my tongue, "whatever your reaction is, that's okay. I just… I can't keep doing this. Can't keep lying to you, not anymore."He simply nodded, his brow furrowed in concentration. Taking a fortifying breath, I plunged in."My name, Dom. It's not Lila."A jolt of surprise shot through his features. "What do you mean? Of course, it's Lila.""It's Vesta," I corrected him, the unfamiliar name feeling heavy on my tongue.

    ALPHA LUCIUS'S POVThe scent of old parchment and forgotten magic filled the air as Nana shuffled into my office. Sunlight streamed through the expansive windows, casting long shadows across the opulent rug. My gaze lingered on the ornately carved desk, the untouched paperwork mocking my inability to focus."Lucius," her voice, rasping yet firm, broke the tense silence. "We need to speak of Ayra."My jaw clenched. The mere mention of her name ignited a cocktail of fury and frustration within me. "She remains where she deserves," I said, my voice flat.Nana's gaze, usually filled with a serene wisdom, held a hint of something else. Pity, perhaps? "For how long, though? She may be a traitor, but a pack cannot function with its Alpha neglecting responsibilities.""Responsibilities? Nana, the woman tried to murder me!" I slammed my fist on the desk, the sound echoing in the vast room. "Does she deserve leniency after such an act?"Nana remained unfazed. "Justice, not leniency, Lucius. You

    LuciusI traced Vesta’s scent to a horrid looking place. But I couldn’t care less, all that was on my mind was where to find my Luna. I kept on following the trail of her scent and it lead me deeper into the unknown.As I pushed forward, the scent of my mate intensified, mingling with the odor of the unknown wolves. A low growl rumbled in my chest, a warning to any who dared stand in my path.Finally, the path opened into a vast underground chamber and in there, stood two figures. I recognized the unmistakable scent of Vesta clinging to them. But something was wrong. Their movements were jerky, and their eyes glowed with emerald light.“Vesta!" I roared. "Where is she?"The figures turned towards me, their heads snapping in unison. A guttural growl erupted from their throats. Their glowing eyes never left me. Their lack of response, their wolf appearance, sent fury coursing through me."Where is my mate?" I repeated. "What have you done to her?"Another guttural growl was their o

    VESTA'S POV Even while I knew I and Elara were cooked, I was still defiant. I challenged him, I said all sorts of disdainful remarks towards him and for a moment, I saw fear. But he wouldn't let a naive pup like me unravel it all. "Don't be foolish, Vesta," he hissed. "I've worked too hard for my position. A few more lives, even yours, are a small price to pay for ultimate power." Darius didn't care about the pack, not truly. It was all a game of control, a desperate scramble to maintain a power he never rightfully earned. And if that meant silencing anyone who threatened to expose his treachery, then so be it. “You think fear will silence me?" I retorted, my voice laced with newfound steel. "You underestimate me, Uncle." Darius's smile vanished completely, replaced by a menacing scowl. "Perhaps," he said, taking a menacing step forward. "But underestimation can be a very effective tool." A signal was barked, and the two guards flanking him lunged forward. Before I could react, t

    ALPHA LUCIUS'S POV With I and Mayra in the same castle as Vesta, I knew Vesta was definitely going to observe my relationship with my sister. She had spoken to me about family and bonding. She made me understand that family is forever even if they can be dickheads. I was reluctant to have ‘that talk’ with my sister but Vesta had convinced me to do it. With a gentle nudge and a smile, she left us alone in the library, a silent encouragement to bridge the gap that separated us. Mayra, frail but determined, reached out a hand, her touch hesitant yet filled with longing. I clasped it in mine. "I'm so sorry, Lucius," she said, her voice cracked. "For everything." "There's nothing to apologize for, Mayra," I replied, my voice cracking as well. "We were just children, caught in the crossfire." A gentle smile touched her lips, in that moment I saw a glimpse of a vibrant young woman I remembered. "Do you remember the stories Mama used to tell us?" she asked. I nodded, I felt bitte

    ALPHA LUCIUS'S POV Everything going on with Vesta was unfortunate. As much as I wanted her to be with me in my castle so we could make love from dusk till dawn, I had to give her the time and space she needed to heal. I didn’t know much about what had happened back in her pack but I do know it had something to do with her uncle. One morning, Vesta walked up to me in the study. “Lucius, the night my parents died, do you have any idea what happened?” She asked me, she appeared almost lifeless. As though she had been troubled with something heavy. “I wasn’t there. I have little to no knowledge of what happened that night.” I confessed. “How can I trust you! Everyone has been lying to me, why are you any different?!” She yelled. Vesta's words hit me like a physical blow. The raw pain and accusation in her voice felt like a betrayal. But I could understand her pain. “Believe me, Vesta, I had nothing to do with your parents' death." "How can I believe you?" she cried, her voice

    VESTA'S POV In the days that followed, I was conflicted by my emotions. I was uncertain, the truth was a constant torment in my mind. I couldn't shake the image of a dark figure, a glimpse from a night etched in blood and loss. Was it Lucius after all? Or was I clinging to a fabricated truth, a narrative constructed by years of resentment? Determined to uncover the truth, I embarked on a relentless quest for knowledge. Every spare moment found me looking through anything in hardcover the pack library. My fingers tracing the worn spines of ancient tomes. My frustration built with each dead-end. Until one dusty afternoon, buried beneath a pile of forgotten scrolls, my fingers brushed against a hidden compartment in an old leather-bound book. Inside, resting amongst brittle parchment and faded ink, lay a single, folded letter. My heart pounded in my chest as I carefully unfolded the yellowed paper, the words written upon it swimming before my eyes. It was a desperate plea, a despera

    ALPHA LUCIUS'S POV I wondered why she hated me. Every time I looked at Vesta, the raw pain in her eyes was a constant reminder of my own shortcomings. Two years. Two years I'd watched Vesta fight our bond with every fiber of her being. Two years of clenched jaws and strange stares, a constant reminder of the past I desperately wanted to amend. Vesta sat by the window, her back was rigid, her silence a wall I desperately wanted to breach. With a deep breath, I approached with a bouquet of wildflowers clutched tightly in my hand. “Vesta," I began. "May I come in?" I was greeted with silence. I was beginning to get frustrated but I forced it down. This wasn't about me. This was about making amends, however flimsy they might seem. I pushed the door open further, stepping into the room. "I brought you these," I stated, extending the bouquet towards her. They were violets and lilies, her favorites. It was a long shot, a gamble, but her reaction was worth the risk. Surprised crossed her

    VESTA'S POV I practically skipped into the pack house, my heart humming a happy tune. Elara, who was by the window, looked up, her brows raised in amusement. "What's gotten into you?" she teased. "Elara, you won't believe it!" I gushed, practically bursting with the need to share. "Lucius and I… we went for a walk." "A walk?" Elara said, her voice laced with curiosity. "That's it?" I blushed furiously, but couldn't contain my excitement. "Well, it wasn't just any walk," I stammered. "We talked… for hours. And then…" I paused dramatically, unable to wipe the silly grin off my face. "He kissed me, Elara." A gasp escaped Elara's lips. "He kissed you?" Her eyes widened in surprise. "And… and you?" "I…" I confessed hesitantly, "I kissed him back." Elara's face broke into a wide smile. "Oh, Vesta!" she squealed, clapping her hands together in delight. "That's amazing! I knew there was something simmering there." The memory of the kiss sent a shiver down my spine. "It was… unexpected

    VESTA'S POV All of a sudden, the outrage I felt towards Lucius seemed petty. After that gift, he was a powerful Alpha, sending me such a heartfelt gift, and all I could do was shut him out. Elara, who had watched me open the book again, spoke up softly, "It's beautiful, isn't it, Vesta?" I nodded, unable to speak past the lump in my throat. "He put a lot of effort into it," Elara added. "Maybe you should cut him some slack." Her words echoed in my mind. Perhaps she was right. Lucius had his flaws, his controlling tendencies were a constant source of irritation, but this… this was different. This was a man reaching out, trying to forge a connection. “Give him a chance?" I said, trying to mask my feelings. “Think about it," Elara urged. "Flowers from so far away? Jewelries, trinkets. A book, that obviously means something to you? He's clearly trying." Maybe, just maybe, it was time for me to reciprocate, to meet him halfway. Later that evening, as I sat by the fire with a steaming

    ALPHA LUCIUS'S POV I watched with satisfaction as the messengers I'd hired left the castle grounds, a precious package safely in their hands. Inside? Another token for Vesta – a stunning emerald bracelet this time, a subtle nod to her captivating eyes. A smile played on my lips. Perhaps, with this one, she'd finally relent, finally acknowledge the depth of my affection. "Alpha Lucius," Marcus barged into the room, his usual stoicism replaced by a flicker of urgency. "We have a situation." My smile faded. "What is it, Marcus?" "News from Vesta's pack," he replied, stepping closer. "Our scouts report… peculiar developments." Intrigued, I leaned forward. "Peculiar?" “Yes, Alpha. It seems the women and young girls… they've been seen wearing expensive jewelry. Gold, diamonds, even silver." A frown etched itself onto my face. Jewelry? I’ve been sending boxes of the finest jewelries to Vesta. Could news of my generosity have spread so quickly? Perhaps word of my extravagant gift had in
