Alexander's POV

The moment the dark wine spilled across the table, I knew I had to maintain my composure. Every interaction with Cassandra recently had been laced with suspicion, her every move calculated, her motives always hidden beneath a veneer of charm. I had hesitated allowing her into such close proximity, but I needed to gather conclusive evidence. Tonight, it seemed, was the climax of her duplicity.

"Ethan," I ordered, not bothering to turn my head, "get the Elders here immediately."

From the corner of my eye, I saw Ethan bow slightly before he disappeared to execute my command. Cassandra’s grip around the glass tightened, and her face paled ever so slightly—a sure sign she was rattled.

I caught her trying to edge away, but my hand shot out, grabbing her forearm. Rage simmered under my skin, threatening to break free. “Where do you think you’re going?” I demanded, my voice a low growl.

Her eyes met mine, filled with a mix of defiance and fear. “Alexander, let me go,” sh

    Cassandra's POV The chains clanked loudly as I was dragged forcibly, each metallic clatter echoing my growing despair. My wrists chafed painfully within their iron bindings, already raw from previous struggles. The guards' indifferent faces showed no sign of compassion as they flung me into the cell and slammed the door shut. "This is a mistake!" I screamed, my voice cracking. But my cries bounced off the cold stone walls unanswered. The hall on the other side of the bars fell silent except for the sound of footsteps retreating into the distance. I fell back against the grimy wall, sliding down until I was sitting on the cold floor. My pulse thrummed with anxiety as I closed my eyes and reached out through the bond that connected me to my mate. "Help me, please," I whispered into the tenuous link that tethered us together. But there was nothing—no comforting response, no warm reassurance. I was met with a void, a black hole where I should find solace. Panic clawed at my insides, b

    Alexander’s POV I sat in my room, replaying the night over and over again. If I hadn’t had my suspicions about Cassandra, then tonight could have had a very different ending. The aftertaste of betrayal lingered bitterly in my mouth as I stared at the ceiling, my mind swirling with rage and regret. A sudden knock on the door snapped me from my spiralling thoughts. I rose, every movement calculated, fuelled by my tension. As I opened the door, I found Olivia and Lidia standing there. “Is everything alright?” I asked cautiously, sensing an unspoken urgency between the two of them. Olivia’s eyes softened slightly. “Everything is fine, Alexander, but Lidia and I need to talk to you. May we come in?” I stepped aside, allowing them to enter. They took a seat, the heavy air between us thickening with unspoken words. I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling clinging to my spine. Once we were all seated, I looked at Olivia expectantly. “What’s this about?” Olivia cleared her throat, casti

    Alexander's POVFour days until the moon ceremony. The dawn was breaking as I strode purposefully toward Cassandra's cell. The chilling air felt heavy with unspoken words and unresolved issues. I didn’t want to be here, but I needed answers. She had manipulated and deceived me, and it was time for her to face the consequences. If she could be honest for once, maybe—just maybe—I'd argue for a lighter sentence. But the kindness in me was quickly dwindling. The guard nodded at my approach and unlocked the iron door, the hinges creaking as if they, too, voiced their objections to my presence. I walked in to find Cassandra huddled on the floor, looking as if the weight of her actions had finally crushed her spirit. She lifted her head, eyes wide, and whispered, “What do you want, Alexander?” "I'm here for answers," I said, my voice cold and devoid of emotion. "If you tell me the truth, Cassandra, I'll make sure your punishment is kinder than what awaits you otherwise." Her eyes da

    Olivia's POV The gentle hum of the cafe offered a stark contrast to the storm raging within me. Seated by the window, I stared out at the bustling street, trying to organise my thoughts. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the delicate scent of pastries. It was a warmth that contradicted the cold reality I was about to face. My fingers traced the rim of my coffee mug as I waited for Reed. My heart quickened with each passing second, performing an intricate dance of guilt and resolve within my chest. I knew what had to be done: I had to tell Reed the truth. A soft chime signalled the arrival of a customer. My breath caught in my throat as I watched Reed walk through the door, his tall frame moving with deceptive ease. His eyes scanned the room until they alighted on me, a small smile curling his lips as he approached. "Olivia," he greeted warmly, pulling out a chair and sitting across from me. "Reed," I managed, my voice just above a whisper. His

    Cassandra's POVSitting on the cold, hard floor, I closed my eyes as memories of my baby flashed through my head. I never intended to hurt my flesh and blood. And the images of my mate appeared in my mind. He would come for me. He had to. I let my mind trail off with memories of the past.Past memories. The garden of Alexander's kingdom was a paradise of vibrant blooms and sweet fragrances. I sat on the cool stone bench. I closed my eyes, letting the warmth of the morning sun cascade over me. The Alphas' meeting was in full swing inside the grand hall, a gathering Alexander deemed crucial for forging alliances that could strengthen our pack. His authoritative voice echoed occasionally, distant yet unmistakably commanding. Lost in my thoughts, I almost didn’t notice the scent that wafted through the garden—a tantalising aroma, earthy and electrifying, like rain on parched earth. My heart began to race, pounding erratically against my ribs. The air seemed to crackle with an invisible

    Cassandra's POV The days that followed became a blur of stolen moments and secret rendezvous. Each encounter with him felt like a forbidden dance I couldn’t resist. Alexander's kingdom was our stage, every shadowed corner and hidden alcove a backdrop for our growing connection. The risk of being discovered only added to the intoxicating allure of our meetings. Weeks turned into months, and my deceptive double life began to take its toll. The guilt of sneaking around behind Alexander's back gnawed at me, but the pull towards my mate was too strong to ignore. Every touch, every whispered promise filled the void inside me that Alexander could never reach. But it wasn't just about passion; it was the undeniable bond that bound us, transforming my very essence. One night, the weight of all my secrets and lies became too much to bear. I felt the nausea hit me like a wave, and my heart thudded with anxious anticipation. My mind reeled with the possibility of what was happening inside me.

    Cassandra's POV The next day, I told Alexander that I wasn’t feeling well, needing to set my plan into motion. His brow furrowed with concern, but he didn't question me. I watched him leave, my mind already turning over what needed to be done. Today was important for different reasons. With my departure imminent, I couldn’t pass up the chance to relish Olivia's pain one last time. I called for her, expecting her arrival any moment. Moments later, Olivia entered my room. Her expression was guarded, wary of whatever cruelty I might unleash upon her. And why wouldn't she be? Over the years, I revelled in her suffering. "Olivia," I began, a venomous smile playing on my lips. "Come closer. I want to see those pretty eyes filled with fear." She approached slowly. Olivia stood before me, her hands clenched at her sides. I could see the effort it took for her to control her emotions. "What do you want, Cassandra?" she asked, her voice steady despite the tremor in her gaze. I leaned bac

    Olivia's POV The weight of the past few days pressed heavily on my shoulders as I made my way through the opulent hallways of the Moonstone Hotel. Golden chandeliers cast a warm glow on the polished marble floors, but their beauty did little to soothe my frayed nerves. Every step felt like it reverberated with the secret I held. I had killed Alpha Derek, and Cassandra, now imprisoned, could expose me to the elders at any moment. My heart pounded in my chest as I approached Alexander's suite, my pulse quickening with every step. I knew what I had to do; I had to tell him my fears. Before Cassandra could speak, we needed to go to the elders ourselves. I knocked softly but with urgency, my mind racing. The door creaked open, revealing Alexander's tall, imposing figure. His intense green eyes softened as he saw me. "Olivia," he greeted, his voice a soothing balm to my fraught nerves. "What's wrong?" I stepped into the room, closing the door behind me. "Alexander, I need to talk to y

Their journey ahead was filled with hope and promise, but it didn’t make saying goodbye any easier.I had grown so used to having my family around me. Their laughter, their support, their presence—it had become a part of my everyday life. If I hadn't had them with me, I would have never been able to do things that I had.

    Olivia's POVA month had passed since Reed’s death, and today was a day of celebration, joy, and new beginnings. I sat in front of Lidia, watching as she gazed at herself in the mirror. She was breathtaking, wearing a beautiful white dress that made her look like a vision of grace. The dress shimmered in the light, the delicate lace and satin fitting her perfectly, reflecting every bit of joy she held within. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, but there was a certain peace about her now, a calm that I hadn’t seen before."You’re beautiful," I said, my voice full of pride and affection as I took in the sight of her. "Are you ready?"Lidia turned to me, her smile wide. "I was ready for this day years ago."Her words hit me right in the heart. Lidia had been through so much, yet here she was, standing on the verge of her greatest happiness. My heart swelled with joy for her.The music began to play softly, a sweet melody that filled the room. The carriage doors opened, and the twins were

The long night of searching had yielded nothing—no sign of Reed, no trail to follow. My muscles ached, exhaustion creeping into every inch of my body, but the rage inside me burned hotter than ever. He had gotten away again. It felt like I would never catch him. I could feel the frustration tightening in my chest, my teeth grinding together in a low growl.As I stepped through the gates, Olivia came rushing toward me, her face full of concern. Her eyes were wide, but there was a calm in her that I couldn’t quite understand. When she reached me, I didn’t have time for pleasantries. The anger inside me needed an outlet.“He got away again,” I snarled, my voice low and heavy with frustration. "I couldn’t find him. I searched every inch of the kingdom."She reached out to me, her hands gently cupping my face, grounding me with her touch. The softness of her skin against my face

The night stretched on, filled with an unsettling stillness, but I knew I had to stay strong. The twins were my priority now.I made my way up to their room. My footsteps light on the stone floor. I could hear the soft murmur of voices as I approached the door. When I pushed it open, Ethan held his finger up to his lips, signalling for me to be quiet. I nodded, my gaze drifting toward the twins, peacefully sleeping in their bed.The sight of them, their little faces serene in the moonlight, brought a sense of calm over me. But my eyes didn’t stay on them for long. I turned my attention to Lidia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, her hand resting lightly on one of the twins. And then, I saw it—the ring on her finger. A rush of happiness filled me, and it took every ounce of restraint not to sc

    Reed’s POVMy heart was a frantic drumbeat in my chest, each desperate breath pushing me further into the abyss of terror. I couldn't outrun this. I couldn’t escape whatever hunted me in this cursed forest. The air was thick with an overwhelming presence as if I were being suffocated and cornered by some unseen beast.Every noise around me felt amplified, every shadow threatening to swallow me whole. The dry leaves scattered on the forest floor crunched louder than they should have, and every snap of a twig seemed like a warning. I dragged myself forward, my one good leg buckling with every movement, my body weak, exhausted, and broken.The growl echoed through the trees again, sending waves of ice through my veins. My mind raced, trying to make sense of the madness around me, but my thoughts were jumbled, a mix of dread and confusion. The cold air cut through me like a blade, making it harder to breathe. There was no escape from this thing.Then, the voice came again—soft at first, a

    Reed’s POVRage filled my body as I rode through the dark, the stolen horse galloping hard beneath me. Nearly losing my balance with every stride, but it didn’t matter. I couldn’t stop. I had to get away, had to get out of this cursed kingdom before they could find me. If I hadn’t been crippled, if I had both of my legs, I would have succeeded. I would have gotten close to the twins while everyone else celebrated their false victory. But now... now I was weak. And that weakness had cost me everything.I gritted my teeth and pushed the horse harder, the wind whipping past my face, the trees rushing by. I knew they would be coming after me soon. Alexander, that damn Alpha, would never let this go. He would hunt me down, and in my weakened state, there was no way I could protect myself.I could feel the panic rising in my chest as I rode deeper into the forest.

I had to make sure they were safe, but every instinct inside me wanted to be out there with my Alpha, hunting Reed down. I couldn’t stand the thought of him being out there, a threat to everything we had fought for.But for now, the twins were my responsibility. As they sat on the floor, playing with their toys, I glanced at Lidia, who was sitting next to them. She was watching them intently, but I could see it in her eyes—the worry. She was trying to hide it, but it was impossible to mask. She was strong, stronger than anyone had ever given her credit for, but I could feel the unease radiating off of her.She looked over at me, and for a moment, everything else faded away. Her beauty overwhelmed me. In that instant, I realised just how much I had come to love her. How had I not seen it sooner? The nervousness I had felt before, the uncertainty about asking h
