AlexisThe moment the words left my mouth, it felt like a knife cut through my heart, slicing my breath short and leaving me unsteady. Calling my mate a murderer felt like I had committed a huge sin. But it was the truth—or at least, I needed to believe. Trusting Alex over Byron didn’t seem possible. Byron, despite being an asshole for most of our marriage, was still my husband and father of my child. Why would he lie about his brother killing someone?Alex stood there, quietly watching me. He didn’t react the way I expected. Instead, the silence stretched, leaving me feeling exposed. My gaze dropped to the floor, avoiding his eyes. I looked everywhere but at him. And then, he did the last thing I expected—burst into loud laughter that echoed around us, filling the space. It caught me so off guard I flinched. What the hell was he laughing at?He tucked his hands into his pockets, still chuckling. “Honestly, I would’ve been surprised if your husband hadn’t pulled that move. It’s exa

Alex I leaned back against the wall, watching Alexis walk away. Her words replayed in my head, like a broken record, hours after she'd left. She called me a murderer. The woman who was supposed to be my mate, my other half, stood by the man who was everything she should fear. Rage simmered beneath my skin, but beneath that, I pitied her. If she only knew the monster, she slept beside. Byron wasn’t just a bastard—he was dangerous, capable of horrors she couldn’t even imagine. If she knew, she'd run so fast that her shoes would wear out before she stopped. Yet, she played the doting wife and acted like her life was perfectly normal.It was pathetic. Alexis was blind, letting Byron pull her strings like a puppet.One day, she would see what Byron was—dangerous, vile, and manipulative. And when that day came, she'd realize how wrong she was. She'd run, and she'd need me. She'd have no choice but to rely on me. By hook or by crook, I’d pull her from Byron’s clutches. Byron was a tick

AlexI arrived at Byron’s house earlier than I intended. The driveway still looked empty, but at least Uncle Blake and his fiancée, Angela, were chatting in the garden. That would make things slightly less awkward.Byron greeted Uncle Blake first, but the moment his gaze landed on me, I saw the brief flash of heat before he masked it with that well-practiced smile."Brother," he said, stepping forward with open arms, voice dripping with fake sweetness. "So good to see you could make it."The bastard was already putting on a show."I didn’t invite myself," I shot back with a dry smile. "But I figured I’d show up so no one accuses me of being petty.”"Good, good, good," Byron said, clapping me on the shoulder, the grip just tight enough to make it clear he was trying to establish dominance. "I’m glad you’re here. The coronation rituals are starting soon. Father’s retiring, and it’s time for me to step up as Alpha and take the family business to the next level. I’m going to be a prime ex

Alexis Despite the evening chill in the garden, my body betrayed the cold. Beads of sweat clung to my forehead, gathering faster than I could wipe them away. My shimmery gown stuck uncomfortably to my body as I shifted from foot to foot. Sweat trickled down my temples, sliding along the curve of my jaw. I pressed my lips into a thin line, trying to make sense of the twisted thoughts swirling in my head. From across the room, I watched McKenzie laugh and act all buddy-buddy with Alex, as if they'd known each other for years. It grated on my nerves. What the hell did my sister see in him? Couldn't she at least believe me, her own blood?The party’s lively chatter buzzed around me, but all I could focus on was kicking McKenzie out. I wiped my brow again, only for more sweat to take its place.Money—what a disgusting motivator. Some females would do anything to get close to it. They would sell their souls for a designer bag or a pair of shoes with a red sole, stack their closet with Bi

AlexisByron had the nerve to think he could insult my intelligence and fool me into believing he'd turned over a new leaf. Ha! Deep down, I was numb to this betrayal because he’d been fucking Kiara the entire time we were married. Hell, our honeymoon? A complete joke—he didn’t even bother hiding that he spent the whole week with her. Our honeymoon was supposed to be a romantic getaway and a celebration of newlywed bliss. But Byron turned it into a slap in the face from day one. We arrived at the luxury resort I had only dreamed of visiting, and he lodged Kiara into the same building. The first night, after giving me the insult of my life, he left me alone in the honeymoon suite. By the second day, he wasn’t even pretending anymore. He didn't bother showing up for dinner, leaving me to stare at the fancy three-course meal meant for two.And then came the ultimate insult. While I lounged by the pool, I saw Byron and Kiara strolling along the beach. I remember sitting there, my hea

Alexis I drove for about fifteen minutes before reaching the border. The rain had slowed to a drizzle, and I kept swiping the wipers to clear the blurry windshield, desperate to see better. The border was a fortress of thick brick walls stretching endlessly in either direction. The walls stood at least twenty feet high. There was no way to see outside the border unless you stood on higher ground, perched on one of the distant hills. Even though members of the pack had free entry and exit, my nerves buzzed with fear. I glanced in the rearview mirror, adjusting the black wig I had found in the car. It was an old one, probably from when McKenzie used to cosplay. She’d always been obsessed with anime. The wig, a black bun with bangs, barely fit over my head, but I added a scarf for good measure. The guards wouldn’t recognize me, not with this disguise. Even if they knew Byron’s wife, they wouldn’t recognize this version of her. One guard stopped my car and leaned in, flashing his lig

AlexI didn’t know if it was a gut feeling or something deeper, but I decided to join the hunters tonight. Then, the surveillance I had placed in Byron's house triggered my instincts that Alexis needed help. I almost left the house, ready to ditch my phone like I usually did when hunting, but a ping stopped me. A text from Igor, one of the few people I trusted on my team, flashed on the screen: Alexis seems up to something. Our source says she left with the boy. She's heading toward the border."Byron, you dumb bastard," I muttered, abandoning my plans for the night. I knew Byron well enough, and my gut told me something was about to go down. I left my car parked at a bar near the border and shifted into my wolf form, charging toward the scene at full speed. The guards at the border were notorious for their cruelty, especially toward women, and I couldn’t let them get their hands on Alexis. When I arrived, my blood boiled at the sight of her—terrified, crying—and Valen, wide-eyed w

Alexis "Mommy, are you going to tell me what happened last night? How did I get out of my bed? I can't remember that." Valen's voice cut through my thoughts, his innocent curiosity turning into a relentless list of questions.How could I possibly explain to my little boy that I had tried to run away with him, to take him far from his father? How could I make him understand the craziness of my decision, that it wasn’t because I didn’t love him, but because I couldn’t bear Byron’s control any longer? He wouldn’t get it.Not yet.I had planned to tell him once we escaped—once we were free—but with Byron’s iron grip back in place, his fake attempts at playing the good husband had crumbled, and now I had no choice but to stay. "We were going to see someone," I said, forcing a smile. "But bad guys showed up, and Uncle Alex saved us." As the words left my mouth, images of Alex flooded my mind. His presence had come like a lifeline, right when I needed it most. Things would’ve taken a dark

Alexis Byron's mouth fell open when he saw me coming down the stairs. I had stunned him into silence, and though my heart brimmed with hatred for him, I relished the fact that I was reclaiming my power. He probably thought I'd stay miserable forever, but I was going to prove that no matter what he did, he could never break me."You like what you see?" I teased with a smirk, noticing the surprise still flickering in his eyes.His arrogance kicked back in immediately. "You cleaned up nicely," he muttered, trying to sound indifferent.I responded with a simple "Hmm," though I could tell he was still thrown off by my new attitude."So, where are we going?" I asked as we stepped outside."It's a tribe party. You’d better behave and look like a wife who's genuinely happy. People would kill to be in your position.""Yeah, I know," I said nonchalantly, opening the car door and sliding in.Byron glanced at me sideways as he started the engine. "What's with this new attitude of yours? Have you

AlexMcKenzie was as happy as a lark when I took her to the studio, tucked away in a renovated industrial block in the Central District. After confirming our tickets, we headed toward the lobby, which had an art deco vibe with modern lighting and sleek fixtures. A narrow hallway led us to our booth, where we could already hear the shuffling of feet and soft laughter echoing."Oh my god, this is weird," McKenzie said, her eyes wide. "Beautifully weird."I nodded in agreement. We made our way to our section of the studio, and I handed her a mocktail. She wore a glittering crop top, neon leggings, and flashy red lipstick, practically glowing in the dark with the energy of the place."This feels different," she said, swaying from side to side while the staff set up our headsets.A couple joined us in the booth, and despite how distracted I was, I found myself having fun. We vibed to everything, from hard-hitting techno beats to soft pop and even a ballad or two. Every so often, Mckenzie
