Guinevere's POV

“Why don’t we say our wishes?” Reagan said, stopping me just as I was about to leave the room.

“What?” I turned back to face him, confusion flickering in my eyes.

“Remember the bet we made. Tell me what you want me to do if I lose.”

I took a step closer, staring directly into his eyes. “If the ring rejects you, I need you to surrender peacefully and apologize to Hayden in front of everyone.”

Reagan nodded solemnly. “Deal.”

“Now it’s my turn. If the ring accepts me as the true alpha, you must be loyal to me no matter what happens. You must always be on my side,” he declared, his voice steady and resolute.

“Okay,” I said, barely concealing my disbelief. I had no intention of taking his words seriously. The ring would never accept a traitor like him.

“Is that all?” I asked, arching an eyebrow.

He smiled, taking another step closer. “You see, I have a little trust issue.”

I couldn’t help but scoff. “I’m pretty sure I’m the one who should be saying that.”

    Reagan POVMum, I did it. “Our true Alpha has arrived!” Grandmother Lana proclaimed, her voice filled with pride and reverence. The hall erupted with the sounds of werewolves howling, their voices echoing off the stone walls in a symphony of triumph. I looked out at the crowd, my eyes seeking her. Amidst the sea of faces, she stood out, her expression a mixture of shock and disbelief. A smirk tugged at my lips despite the searing pain from the poison coursing through my veins. The ball is in your court, Andrea. What are you going to do? She stared at me, and the moment our eyes locked, she must have seen the flicker of agony I couldn’t completely hide. Determination replaced her shock as she walked towards me, her steps purposeful and unwavering. It was as if time slowed, the noise and movement around us fading into the background. She was the only thing that mattered. Without hesitation, she pulled me in for a kiss. The hall fell silent, the collective gasps and murmurs of the c

    Guinevere POV "I hated everything about this stupid party," I thought, forcing a smile as I navigated through the crowd. Inside, I was seething. How could they all switch sides so easily? Hayden was the rightful Alpha. If it weren't for that cursed Alpha ring, Hayden would be standing there, not Reagan. I had hoped to talk my dad out of this madness, but seeing him grinning alongside Reagan made me realize my mum had already convinced him. With a heavy sigh, I gulped down my drink, wishing for this day to end. I moved through the crowd, deliberately keeping my distance from Reagan and his triumphant gaze. Flashes of our kiss earlier kept invading my thoughts. My hands clenched tightly as the image replayed in my mind. Ugh, I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs. I hated the kiss, hated the way he looked when we pulled apart, and most of all, I hated the pain and betrayal I saw in Hayden's eyes. As if sensing my turmoil, Hayden walked in. Before he could go any further, I

    Reagan's POVIs that how she looked at me? A monster? I murmured to myself, my eyes lingering on Andrea's peaceful face as she slept. Gently, I tucked the strands of hair that had fallen across her face behind her ear.I'd been called many things: monster, bastard child, murderer, the devil. Over time, I'd grown a thick skin, letting those names bounce off me. But hearing such hurtful words from her stung in a way I hadn't expected.No, I shouldn't care. It was better if she saw me this way. Despising me would keep her at a distance, which was exactly where she needed to be."Do you plan on moping beside her all night?" a familiar voice broke through my thoughts.A grin tugged at my lips. I knew that voice—a voice I had missed dearly. Turning, I saw my best friend and beta, Rya, standing in the doorway, her grin as wide as ever."Welcome back, Alpha," she said, wrapping me in a hug."It's good to see you," I replied, returning the embrace.She pulled away and glanced at Andrea on the

    Guinevere's POVI bit my cheeks as I tried to suppress the anger bubbling within me. Why did he have to be so infuriating? What gave him the audacity to think he could just bring me here and lock me up? Ugh, I wanted to slam his face against the wall, but as much as I wished to do that, I knew I couldn’t. Reagan was one to keep his word, and no matter how pissed I was, I couldn’t act recklessly and endanger innocent lives. So, reluctantly, I said, "Fine."A smile tugged at his lips, and he slowly released his grip on me. "I’m glad we’re on the same page."More like I had no choice"The Crimson Pack is always welcome here. I have some meetings to attend to. Make yourself at home," he said with a grin as he turned to leave.Once he was out, I grabbed a pillow and screamed into it at the top of my lungs until I felt a little better. Flopping onto the bed, I stared at the ceiling. Was this really how my life would be? Trapped with Reagan forever. I wondered about Hayden and how sad he mus

Her eyes were wide, betraying a mixture of confusion and longing. I took a step closer until we were mere inches apart. She glared at me, her breathing heavy, her chest rising and falling rapidly.I leaned in, my voice a low murmur. "Are you okay? You seem pretty down," I teased, a sly smile playing at my lips."I'm fine," she snapped, her voice cold, but her eyes betrayed her. She took a step back, and immediately, I stepped forward, closing the gap. Her lips parted slightly, and I could see her struggle to maintain her composure. Being this close to her made me feel like I was losing my mind. My gaze fell to her flushed pink lips. I wanted to suck on them, to bite them until she screamed my name.She licked her lips, a subconscious gesture that drove me wild. I glanced back at her and saw the unmistakable lust in her eyes. A

    Guinevere's POVI had managed a day without succumbing to the maddening desire for Reagan, but the more I resisted, the stronger the craving grew. Desperation had driven me to reach out to Hayden, hoping a night with him would quench the heat. But there was no response.My phone beeped, and I grabbed it, only to be disappointed once again. Hayden had left my message unanswered. Was he still mad? Frustration gnawed at me. No matter how hard I tried to relieve myself, my body still craved Reagan, and eventually, I gave in to the overwhelming desire."I want you to f**k me," I blurted out, the words escaping almost involuntarily. My mind was a fog, and I couldn't blame myself for losing control.Immediately, Reagan's lips crashed onto mine with a hunger that took me by surprise. The desire I had expected to diminish instead intensified tenfold. His kisses were ravenous, full of urgency and impatience, as if he had been starving for this moment. We moved toward the bed, our mouths locked

    Guinevere's POVI knew I should stop and end this, but shamelessly, I wanted more—more of him, more of his touch. Without thinking, I pulled him closer and kissed him. The kiss was fiery, his lips demanding and insistent against mine. His hands moved to my breasts, massaging them with a skill that made me groan in pleasure."Ugh," I groaned, my voice desperate. "I want you," I blurted out, unable to hold back any longer.Reagan's eyes darkened with an intensity that made my heart race. He didn't hesitate. His hands moved to his clothes, and in a flurry of motion, he shed every layer, flinging them carelessly to the ground. His body, now fully exposed, was a masterpiece of strength and raw power. The sight of him made my breath hitch and my pulse quicken.As much as I hated to admit it he was really big."You can keep staring," he said with a teasing grin that sent a rush of heat to my cheeks.I remained quiet embarrassed by the fact I had been caught staring.I watched intently as Rea

Hayden's eyes blazed with a fury. He scoffed, looking down at me with disdain. We were, thirteen, father had just begun training us, preparing us for the day we would shift to our wolf form. As a bastard child, I had always tried my best to please my father. I studied twice as hard, practiced from morning till night, all in the hopes of earning a rare smile from him. I never realized that my hard work was breeding resentment in Hayden. Hayden grabbed my shirt, his jaw clenched tight as he spat out, "You think you're some great person just because you beat me? You want to steal my place as the next Alpha, huh?" "Hayden, I would ne—" Another blow cut off my words, blood spilling from my split lip. "This is your last warning," he hissed, his voice low and menacing. "Next time, I'll kill you." He released me with a sho

    Guienevere's POVThis is insane, I thought as I paced the length of my room, the anxiety clawing at my chest like an unrelenting beast. How could everything be so calm? How could Reagan act as if his life wasn’t hanging by a thread? His nonchalance wasn’t just infuriating; it was maddening. Something wasn’t right. I felt it deep in my bones, an unshakable sense of dread that wouldn’t let me rest. If Reagan wasn’t going to take this seriously, then I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands. Without a second thought, I grabbed my coat and made my way to the Crescent Howl Pack. The journey felt both agonizingly long and painfully brief as my mind raced with all the possibilities. By the time I arrived, the sight of the familiar estate brought a wave of mixed emotions—relief, fear, and a touch of nostalgia. As I stepped into the pack house, my sister Gail ran up to me, wrapping me in a tight, almost suffocating hug. “Woah,” I said with a laugh, “didn’t know I was misse

I felt like a nervous teenager confessing my feelings for the first time.Reagan's piercing blue eyes held mine, deep and unwavering, as if he could see into my soul. His hands, warm and strong, cupped my face with such tenderness that it made my knees weak."Andréa," he whispered, my name rolling off his lips like a prayer.We were so close that I could feel his breath against my skin, warm and intoxicating. My pulse quickened, each beat urging him to close the distance between us.He leaned in, his lips brushing mine with a featherlight touch before capturing them fully. His kiss was gentle at first, a soft press that made my stomach flutter. A groan slipped from my lips—one I couldn’t hold back even if I tried. I had waited so long for this moment, for the feel of his lips on mine.“I’ve waited for you to say this,” he murmured against my lips, his voice low and rough with emotion.I couldn’t

"I’ll leave you two to it," he said, stepping past her and out the door.The door clicked shut behind him, leaving the room unnervingly silent."How did it go with the elders?" I asked, my voice steady, though my stomach churned with worry. I crossed my arms and leaned against the doorway, watching him as he sat at his desk, his jaw tight and his hands clasped in front of him."Good, I think," Reagan said, his tone clipped, avoiding my gaze."Did you tell them about the meeting?"He stilled, the air growing heavy before he replied, "No."The single word hit me like a punch to the gut. My brows furrowed as I straightened. "What?! W...why?"He finally looked at me, his eyes dark and unyielding. "Because I don’t feel comfortable discussing confidential matters with them. What happened at that meeting stays between my pack and me."I stepped closer, my voice rising in frustration. "But if you don’t tell t

    Reagan’s POVI stepped into the town hall, my boots clicking against the polished wooden floor as the oppressive silence greeted me. The elders sat in a semi-circle, their expressions varying from stern to outright disdain. It was clear they weren’t thrilled by my presence."You’re late," one of the elders snapped, his tone sharp and accusing.I gave a small, apologetic smile that didn’t reach my eyes. "Apologies, but as you’re all aware, I have a pack to lead. Unlike some, I don’t have the luxury of free time."One of the younger elders, his face turning red with fury, looked ready to explode. But before he could, Elder Nicholas, the eldest of them all, placed a calming hand on his shoulder. His silver hair gleamed in the dim light, and his piercing eyes fixed on me, unamused but measured.I smirked, enjoying the tension, and strode to the chair in the center of the room. The scraping sound of the chair as I pulled it back echoed like a challenge. I sat down leisurely, crossing my le

That was how I felt right now. No—that was only a fraction of it.My chest tightened as the air between us grew heavy with disbelief, pain, and something far worse: betrayal.Reagan’s expression twisted, his brows furrowed, and his lips parted slightly as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. His green eyes—usually so sharp and filled with fire—now stared at me with a mix of confusion and devastation."What did you just say?" His voice cracked, low and unsteady, as he took a step back."Reagan..." I started, my voice trembling, but the words stuck in my throat like barbed wire."You didn’t do it, right?" he asked, his tone rising, demanding answers. His eyes searched mine desperately, but I couldn’t meet his gaze.I remained quiet, guilt clawing at me like a beast inside. The silence only stretched, suffocating

    Reagan's POVThe soft light of the sun spilled gently into the room, bathing everything in a warm golden glow. My eyelids fluttered as I stirred, the ache in my muscles a dull reminder of something I couldn’t yet recall. Slowly, I opened my eyes, the hazy outlines of the room coming into focus.“Ugh…” I groaned, my voice hoarse, my throat dry as sandpaper.“Don’t move too much,” a calm, familiar voice said, laced with concern.I turned my head slightly, wincing as the motion sent a sharp pang through my body. Grandmother Lana stood beside me, her soft gray hair framing a face lined with wisdom and worry. She reached out, her touch steadying me as my body shifted.“Grandmother Lana?” I rasped, blinking hard to focus on her face.“You’re awake,” she said with a small, relieved smile. “But don’t strain yourself just yet.”I tried to sit up, but a sudden weight held me back. My gaze dropped, and my heart sank when I saw the thick, silver chains binding my wrists and ankles. The cold metal

    Guinevere's POVAs Hayden’s lips crashed against mine, there was a rush of heat, but something about it felt… off.For days, I had replayed this moment in my mind, imagining how it would feel to have him hold me again, to kiss me with the passion I’d longed for. But now that it was happening, something inside me felt hollow.Why?I tried to push the question aside, to drown out the nagging voice in the back of my mind. Was it because I was furious with Reagan for breaking his promise? No. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t that. The truth was buried somewhere darker, somewhere I refused to explore.“I love Hayden,” I told myself, gripping his shirt tighter. “And I’ll love him alone.”Breaking the kiss for a moment, I looked up into his warm, hazel eyes. His lips were slightly parted, and his breath came in short, shallow bursts. He studied me with an intensity that made my heart ache, as if he could see the war raging inside me.“Let’s get out of here,” I whispered, my voice trembling but fi

But here I was, standing in the hallway, my patience wearing thin as several pack members stood like stone walls, blocking me from entering his room.“What’s going on?” I demanded, my heels clicking against the polished floor as I strode toward one of them. My voice was firm, laced with irritation.The guard, a tall and broad man with an apologetic expression, stood his ground. “I’m sorry, Luna, but Alpha Reagan instructed that no one enters.”I let out a sharp snort, crossing my arms. “Move. Now,” I said, my tone cold as ice. My gaze locked with his, unyielding.He stood still, unwavering in his spot.My patience snapped. “I swear to God, if you don’t step aside, you’ll lose the privilege of using those legs of yours,” I growled, my voice low and dangerous.His jaw tightened, but he didn’t budge. “I’m sorry, Luna,” he said, his voice steady but filled with regret. “I can’t disobey the Alpha’s orders.”I sighed, r

"This isn’t random, Rya. Someone has a grudge, and they’re making it personal."Rya nodded, her brows furrowed in concern. "That’s what worries me. If this continues, it could spiral into something much bigger. Packs are already uneasy, whispering about hunters or..." She trailed off, her words catching in her throat. Her lips pressed together, as if she was holding back the very thing I didn’t want to hear. I narrowed my eyes at her hesitation. "They think it’s me," I said, finishing the sentence she didn’t dare to. Her shoulders sagged, and she let out a heavy sigh. "And that’s why we’re going to find whoever this asshole is. Before things get worse." I nodded slowly, the weight of her words settling on me. "A room full of werewolves would be the perfect place for him to strike next." "The
