[Joshua] “Make sure everything is perfect. I can’t afford a single mistake tonight,” I talked through the phone. My steps faltered as I neared my office. Pocketing my phone, I hid my presence and gingerly got near the ajar door. The security of my office had been compromised several times ever since Carys stopped being my beta. Her absence from my life just kept getting louder every day, but that would change after tonight. And I wouldn’t let anyone interfere with my plans of making her mine again. I peeped through the ajar door. My office was dimly lit with a figure sitting on my chair behind the desk. I entered my office and stood before the invader as she flipped through the photo albums I always kept locked in my desk. I strode to the desk and snatched the album from her hand. “Don’t touch my things!” I glared at her. She smiled, “sorry for looking at your precious obsession.” “What are you doing here?” I asked. She took out another album and kept flipping through Carys’

[Carys] “What rubbish!” Joshua growled. “Don’t listen to her, Carys. She is lying. She just doesn’t want you with me. When she can plan an attack on herself just to keep you away from me, weaving these webs of lies isn’t a big thing. Besides! There is no way she can know what happened in our lives ten years ago.” “Then you tell her what happened,” Edith said. “You can give her better details about how you induced the miscarriage and corrupted the doctors to manipulate her medical reports.” Joshua clenched his jaws and glared at Edith. “I know what you are trying to do. You are seeding distrust between us. But it won’t work. Carys knows me well enough to fall into your trap…” “I don’t,” I said, staring at the album lying near my feet. “Who… who are you?” I looked at Joshua. “Joshua?” I shook my head. “You are not him.” “Poor girl. The man you kept calling your bestie stabbed you in the back again and again while you kept questioning the source of your wounds. I know the truth will

[Carys]My body had been constantly shaking from the moment I saw Xander throw Snow White’s lifeless body on the ground and lung towards me.How could I have been so blind all these years? I was his beta for ten years. Why is it I never even suspected that something was wrong with him? He had been my closest friend almost all my life, yet I never knew him beyond the perfectly curated version of himself he presented to me.Only if I wasn’t stupid enough to be so easily manipulated by him, I could have protected everything and everyone I lost. And once again…I looked at Kian, who impatiently searched for some kind of magical card in his deck of cards. Cards were spread all over his desk. Some were even on the floor. He looked through the cards on the last deck and threw them away as well. The cards fluttered to the floor.I peered at him, lost in the tsunami of thoughts and conflicting emotions. Maybe now I know how he felt when I blamed him for my miscarriage. Because at the moment, I

[Carys]“What incident?” I asked.“During one hunt, Calista was rivaled against Raphael, Kian’s father and… she won. And things went downhill for her from there. As the camps went on, everyone in the camp started distancing themselves from Calista. Not just lycans, but werewolves too hesitated from going near her or talking to her. Since Calista mostly spent her time alone reading books, we didn’t find it odd. We thought maybe staying alone is what she wants, but it took us some time to understand that she was facing social rejection.” He got up and poured tea into three cups. He passed me and Kian a cup each. “But her performance just got better and better. Hunting became an emotional outlet for her and it was in killing that she found refuge. A very negative and dangerous state of mind to be in for a werewolf. It was later we found out the actual reason…” King glanced at Kian and continued after sipping on his tea. “Raphael and his friends had threatened everyone in the camp. Th

[Kian]“Wait, you can read this?” Carys asked Alpha King.“Yes,” King Elysar said.I looked at the foreign letters on the pages of that book. “What language is this?” I asked.“Faemorish,” Carys said. “Ruin said it was an extinct language. How do you know it?” Carys contemplated King Elysar.“Oh. Well…” he cleared his throat. “I am old. I know stuff you guys don’t.”Carys narrowed her eyes, examining King Elysar.“It might just be a rumor, but people say the Neutral zone was enchanted by fae magic. In case it’s true, how did you get access to fae magic? Because that too went extinct centuries ago,” Carys said. “And if you deny it, then how would you explain the decrease in the Alphas’ powers when they enter the Neutral zone? Making you the Alpha King, the most powerful.”“Carys…” I held her elbow. She looked at me over her shoulder and then glanced back at the King.“I didn’t mean to put it offensively. I am just trying to make sense of everything, like you said, Alpha King. I know e
