"Well, I attacked a young Gamma as well as the Pack Beta. Publicly. Seemingly unprovoked too." He scoffs. "I might as well have gift-wrapped Marcus the excuse he needed to lock me up."

My fists clench.

"And guess what?" Billy barks out a dry laugh. "He made Apollo my guard."

I stiffen.

"Told 'im if he did a good job, maybe he'd get a promotion." Billy shakes his head. "And that idiot actually agreed."

A storm brews inside me.

“That bastard Marcus probably thought it some sick joking having Apollo guard me- his own twisted sense of poetic justice." Billy shakes his head, “it was meant as an insult, anyone with half-a brain coulda figured it out. But your brother didn’t. Or maybe he did, but just didn’t care. He saw it as an opportunity to climb the social ladder, and he took it.”

Apollo, I grit my teeth, mentally chewing out the name in rising fury.

Billy meets my eyes, and then seems to catch himself. His voice is softer as he says, "I'm sorry, kid."

    Diana My stomach clenches as I get a bad premonition. His voice drops. “First, I figured it was the meds, right? They’re painkillers. They’re supposed to make ya drowsy. But then the doc came every damn day to take my blood. Said it was for ‘tests.’” A sick feeling coils in my gut. He lets out another bitter laugh. “Somethin’ felt off. I started refusin’ to take the meds, thinkin’ maybe they were poisonin’ me. But if I refused to take it, they’d just force me to.” I can feel my heartbeat in my ears. “So I got smart,” he continues, his tone grim. “Started hidin’ the meds under my tongue, pretendin’ to swallow ‘em, spittin’ ‘em out after they left. But guess what? I was still gettin’ sleepy.” I shake my head. “The water?” He nods. “Stopped drinkin’ that too. Didn’t matter. Still happened.” His next words send ice through my veins. “Finally, I figured it out. It was the food.” My breath catches. His eyes darken. “Marcus came in when I stopped eatin’. Told me straight up—they’

    Diana“And now that that’s out of the way, what did ya’ll so urgently want to know that I had to be brought here?”I glance at Dominicus, feeling a nervous flutter in my stomach. His eyes meet mine, steady and reassuring, but it doesn’t do much to calm the nervous energy buzzing under my skin. I clear my throat, shifting my attention back to Billy.“So, um…” I start, my fingers fidgeting in my lap. “I’m sure you’ve noticed by now…”Billy’s brows furrow slightly before realization dawns on his face. A wide grin spreads across his face, and he nods, looking me over with a mix of pride and awe.“Hell yeah, I noticed,” he says, his deep voice laced with excitement. “Alpha Dominicus here told me, but seein’ it for myself?” He lets out a low whistle, shaking his head. “Damn, kid. You’re an Alpha. Ain’t that somethin’?”Warmth rushes through my chest at his words, a mixture of pride and bashfulness making my cheeks heat. “Thank you,” I say shyly, ducking my head.He grins at me, eyes still s

    Diana I feel disappointment settle in my chest- heavy. Another dead end. I had been hoping to get more information about my mother, and possibly have more leads about our enemies from him. But it seems he doesn’t know much either. I stare at his hands, fingers laced tightly together. When I hear his quiet voice, “I always wondered, y’know. Who did it? Who wiped out the pack you came from?” I blink at him, heart still heavy. Billy rubs his chin. “I was Head Pack Warrior. I kept up with everythin’—friction between Alphas, tensions between packs, all of it. Somethin’ like this? A whole damn pack gettin’ wiped out? There shoulda been news. Most of the time, it’d be over territory disputes, though those are outlawed now. But still, there shoulda been somethin’.” He shakes his head. “But there was nothin’. No news. No claims. No whispers ‘bout a pack bein’ wiped out. If not for you and Apollo, I’d have thought it never happened.” I glance at Dominicus before turning back to Billy.

    Diana I watch as his expression shifts—tenderness, pain, something almost reverent. “We were together twelve years before she left. Twelve years. And y’know what?” He huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “I still didn’t know much about her. Never met her family. Never even knew her last name. But she was mine. She took my last name, and that was all I needed.” I blink, absorbing the weight of his words. “And the pack… just accepted it?” I ask gingerly. Not that I have anything against it, but werewolves aren’t exactly the most accepting bunch. He shakes his head, “They never noticed”. What?! My eyes go round, “How did no one notice that the Head Warrior’s mate wasn’t a werewolf?” He exhales through his nose. “Witches are powerful, kid. A strong enough one can mess with perception. Make people see what they want ‘em to see.” A shiver runs down my spine. I glance at Dominicus, who nods grimly. Billy scratches his beard. “For some reason, nobody ever questioned why

    Diana “She killed herself.” I freeze. Even Dominicus looks momentarily stunned. “Though that’s not accurate either”, he shakes his head, “She was killed. But she knew they wanted to kill her and deliberately let them catch her. That’s why I say she killed herself… because she wanted to die.” His words send a shard of pain piercing through my heart. Billy’s hands tighten into fists. His next words are slow, measured. Like each one physically hurts to say. “Months before it happened… I could tell somethin’ was eatin’ at her. She was always lost in thought. Wouldn’t tell me what it was. But that wasn’t unusual. She had her moments like that.” His jaw clenches. “Then one day… she told me she was pregnant.” The emotion in his voice shifts—softens. There’s warmth there. Love. “It was the best thing I’d ever heard. A life—our life—growing inside her. A piece of me. A piece of her.” He exhales shakily, his fingers curling into fists on his knees. “I could picture it all,

    Diana “She was a few towns over. In some alley in a human town.” He exhales shakily. “Just lyin’ there. Cold. Gone.” He stares blankly at his hands, like he’s back there—standing over her lifeless body. His next words send a sharp chill down my spine. “She told me to trust her,” he says, his voice hollow. “She told me our baby was alive.” His eyes flick up, dark and haunted. “But I saw her, kid. Saw the fetus. It was carved out of her belly and stabbed- the placenta still connected to the gaping hole that was her abdomen.” I inhale sharply. Oh gods… I get up and rush to his side. Sitting beside him, I wrap my arms around him. Pulling his trembling form against me. “It’s okay. It’s okay. You don’t have to continue Billy,”, my voice a shaky whisper croaking out of my throat. But he seems to not hear me, the words tumbling out of his mouth. “I wanted to believe her. I did. But how could I, when I saw it with my own eyes?” He lets out a dry, humorless chuckle. “I was out

    Diana The rhythmic chopping of vegetables fills the kitchen, a steady, mindless motion that keeps my hands busy while my thoughts wander. Dominicus leans against the counter, scrolling through his phone, occasionally glancing at me with a look that makes my stomach flutter. Then, his phone rings. I see his brows furrow as he glances at the number. “Hello?” A hint on inquiry in his voice, which tells me he probably doesn’t recognise the number. “Amadeus.” A voice on the other end responds, spitting out the name with venom. I recognize it instantly. Magnus. I pause, my knife stilling mid-slice as I watch Dom’s expression turn to stone. I drop the knife and turn to fully face him. My entire focus sharpens and my werewolf senses kick in. Now even though the phone isn’t on speaker, I can hear the conversation as clearly as if I were holding it myself. Dom’s voice is sharp, ice-cold. “How the hell did you get this number?” There’s a pause. Then Magnus’s voice returns,

    Diana Dom’s jaw clenches so tight I hear his teeth grind. He doesn’t want me to speak to Magnus. I can see it in the way his entire body is coiled, wound tight with barely restrained fury. But at the same time… He doesn’t want to be the reason I don’t get the information I need. I take a deep breath and step closer. Slowly, deliberately, I stretch out my hand. Dominicus hesitates. His gaze locks onto mine, his fingers twitching around the phone. But after a moment—jaw clenched, shoulders tense—he hands it over. I take the phone with one hand. With the other, I reach for him. Taking the hand that was holding the phone, I bring it to my lips, pressing a soft kiss to his knuckles. His eyes go round, surprise flickering across his face. I watch as the tension slowly eases from his shoulders. His fingers curl gently around mine. Then, I lift the phone to my ear. My voice is cold. “What do you want?” Silence. Then, Magnus exhales. “Diana,” he murmurs. “It feels so good to hear

    DianaI don’t say anything. I can’t—because part of me agrees with him.He searches my face, voice cracking.“I already lost your mate. And for 13 years, I believed I lost my child too. I won’t lose you.”The silence between us stretches again. The grief in his words coils around my ribs like a vice.After a long moment, I exhale.“I promise,” I say softly, reaching for his hand, “we’ll talk about this. We’ll figure it out. But right now… let’s go back inside. There’s still more Eleanor has to tell us.”He looks at me for a long moment. Then, finally, he nods.We walk back together, quiet and heavy with unspoken thoughts. Inside, the room is just as we left it—Dominicus and Eleanor still seated, their faces somber.Billy crosses his arms as he steps in, his tone dry but edged in steel.“Might as well just leave her with the humans. She was safe there. Let her stay hidden.”Eleanor tilts her head slightly.“Yes, she’s safe,” she says calmly. “But for how long?”He frowns but doesn’t an

    Diana The room goes quiet. I blink in confusion, taken aback and not understanding why he’s so angry. My brows furrow as I watch him in confusion. He seems to be getting more furious by the second. It’s a fury I don’t think I have ever seen on him before. My mind races a second more and it clicks. My heart stutters before dropping to the pit of my stomach. I hadn’t thought of that. Not fully. Shit! Blood drains from my face and I suddenly feel sick. Billy asks again, slower this time, the words like steel. “Who the fuck did you say was gonna fight him?” Eleanor’s expression crumples into something close to guilt. She looks down. I bite my lower lip. Dom’s brows draw together. Billy’s voice is calm but dark. “Three people, right? That’s what you said?” He points at Dominicus. “One is the Amadeus Alpha. He’ll fight the physical battle.” Then he points at me. I flinch. “Second is the Castellanos Alpha and Priestess. That’s you.” I can’t meet his eyes. “And the third…

    Diana He starts pacing toward the door like a man possessed. I glance outside—the sky is pitch black, the moon high and silver. “Billy,” I say gently, “it’s late. Why don’t we go tomorrow?” But he shakes his head, already reaching for the doorknob. “I can’t wait. Who knows where she is? What kinda situation she’s in? If she’s far, the sooner I leave, the sooner I’ll reach her—” Eleanor lifts her eyes to Dom in a silent signal. Dominicus stands immediately, moves forward, and catches Billy by the shoulders before he can bolt. “Wait,” he says gently but firmly. “Where are you going? You don’t even have the tracker yet. How will you find her without it?” Billy blinks. “Right. Right, right.” He lets himself be guided back, still jittery, heart pounding in his chest. He turns to Eleanor again, eyes wide and pleading. “Then give it to me. The… the thing you said. What is it?” “I’ll make you a Scrythorn,” Eleanor replies. “It’s an ancient charm, carved and imbued with s

    Diana Billy hasn’t moved. His eyes are bloodshot and shining, and when he finally speaks, his voice is hoarse. “You said you used dark magic, too,” he rasps to Eleanor. “But you’re still here. Still… you. Why couldn’t she do the same?” Eleanor’s face softens. “Because she wasn’t strong enough. Six years of dark magic, even in small doses, is too much. I stopped after one spell. I cut myself off. Let the darkness bleed out slowly over time. But your mate…” She sighs. “She didn’t have that luxury. The curse had corrupted her too much”. But I know the rest. Eleanor is the Primarch Arcana. Stronger than any light witch alive. That’s the difference. That’s why she survived. Billy lowers his head, shoulders slumping. He doesn’t speak for a long time. My chest aches with a pressure that builds and builds until I can barely breathe. All those years, I thought no one loved me. That I meant nothing to anyone. I was wrong. Now I know—my parents, the witches who could have teleport

    Diana Eleanor folds her hands in her lap, her face as gentle as ever, but I see the flicker of regret in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Billy,” she says softly. “What I’m about to tell you might be hard to hear. But I believe it will answer the questions you’ve carried for a long time.” Billy glances between Dom and I, seeing the corresponding seriousness on our faces and sits straighter, “Go on,” he says. Eleanor nods. “Just as I was explaining to Diana and Dominicus, your mate—Myralie—was the one who suppressed Diana’s wolf. It was the only way she could keep her from shifting, and from being found.” Billy’s head jerks slightly. “Myralie?” he repeats, his brow creasing. “You mean… Myra?That her real name?” I watch the flicker of pain flash through his eyes. He once told us he didn’t know much about her. Only her name. And now it turns out… even that was only half true. There’s a bittersweet sadness in his face as the realization sets in. His mouth parts slightly, but no words come. “S

    Diana Dominicus stares at her, brows drawn. “So… you’re not dying,” he says, voice low, suspicious. “I’m not dying,” she insists, looking directly at him now. “I swear it.” He holds her gaze for a beat longer. Then, finally, he nods. I feel the tight coil of tension in his body loosen, the faintest ripple of relief coming through the bond. I exhale too, only now realizing I’d been holding my breath. “It’s not fair,” I whisper. The words slip out before I can stop them, soft and aching. Eleanor looks at me with kind eyes, and then gives a small smile. “Magic isn’t a person, dear. It has no consciousness to look into the facts surrounding the incident and decide whether or not it’s fair. It doesn’t think or feel. It simply is.” She sets her teacup down gently, the sound barely audible. “Light magic doesn’t coexist with dark magic. It won’t. The moment I used it—even to save someone—I knew what it meant. My days as the Primarch were numbered.” Her smile turns wry. “The fac

    Diana She lifts her eyes, and they shimmer with something like wonder. “I felt it. A divine ripple. Like something ancient had stirred. Like the pattern of fate had twisted slightly on its axis.” Her fingers curl around the porcelain cup. “I didn’t know what it meant. But I knew—something was coming. I didn’t know what, or who, but… I hoped.” She looks at me now. And her expression softens into something almost reverent. “And then, one morning… a girl walked in.” My throat tightens. Eleanor’s voice drops into a hush, as though telling a sacred secret. She gives me a small smile. “A werewolf… a werewolf with a sealed wolf”. “A beautiful girl,” she continues. “Her eyes were haunted and it was obvious she was running from something.” My stomach tightens. Eleanor’s expression softens again. “It took me just one look. I knew exactly who you were. The Castellanos Alpha heir. The one who escaped the massacre. I was… stunned.” She shakes her head with a quiet chuckle, bu

    Diana I swallow the lump in my throat. For the longest time, Dom had no one. I’m so glad is finding more family and loved ones. He doesn’t answer. But his eyes shine, and he reaches up, catching her wrist. “You should’ve told me,” he murmurs, his voice thick, “I wasn’t in the right state of mind for a long time, but when I got better-“ She looks at him with weary affection. “Because you’d already suffered enough,” she says softly. “You were just starting to come back to yourself. I didn’t want to pile all this… this heavy, dark mess on your shoulders.” Her eyes flick over to me, and a teasing smile tugs at her lips. “And you had just started falling in love, too. I couldn’t bear to spoil it.” My cheeks warm instantly. Eleanor chuckles. “After nearly a decade of pain and silence, you deserved a little reprieve. Both of you. Watching it happen—watching you fall for each other—it was so cute. And awkward.” I let out a tiny, strangled sound and cover my face with my hand

    DianaShe stops in front of him.“The witches at the Castellanos pack…” she says, voice quiet, “they did reach out to me.”I bite down on my lower lip. Hard.“But not to ask me to come. They weren’t calling me for help.” Her gaze flickers to me. “They just wanted me to know what was happening. That the dark witches were there. That the Castellanos were preparing to fall.”Her voice dips, heavy with the weight of regret.“I wanted to go. I swear I did.” Her hands tighten at her sides. “But I knew… I knew if I went like I was, I’d only be a burden.”The words hit like a cold wave.“I couldn’t use my magic properly,” she continues. “It was still tainted. I was still walking that razor’s edge. And if I stepped into a battle like that—drew onto the bulk of magic to battle- the dark magic inside me would’ve stirred violently… fed on the chaos”Her throat tightens.“I would’ve had two choices: fight it or give in. If I had resisted, it would have killed me. If I had given in…” She looks up a
