View MoreRaina's POVAfter Irvin left, Tristan invited me to join him. We ate together, and I insisted on clearing the dishes afterwards. Tristan wanted to ask the maids to do it, but I had a reason. I needed to speak to Alison. Tristan had mentioned something about food being sent to the slave cells, which troubled me. I knew Alison would never do that, and given Tristan's volatile nature, it was crucial to get to the bottom of it and clear her name before things escalated. I knew I hadn't done it, but I needed to be certain Alison hadn't either. I didn't want her to get into trouble with Tristan, especially with how easily he could snap.I entered the kitchen, and the moment Alison saw me, she had a broad smile that said, "I told you so,".I would hate to argue with her and tell her this wasn't my plan for my life, but I kept quiet. As nice as Tristan has been these two days, I still felt empty and hollow inside. It was as if a chunk of my soul had been ripped out, leaving me incomplete. I d
Tristan's POVI returned to my office in the morning and found letters from the neighbouring alphas requesting visits to Stormhowl. Since ascending the throne, I have neither officially introduced myself nor received any guests. My hesitation stemmed from a lack of trust in the neighbouring packs and uncertainty about Darius's allies. Understanding these alliances is crucial for my success.Mutiny was a crime, yet Darius seized the throne, and no one challenged his actions. If my father had been a tyrant, Darius's coup might have been justified, but my father was beloved by the people. Instead, it was Darius who was a wicked king, yet his reign continued unchallenged. It was clear to me that something was deeply wrong with the system in the Ironclaw region, and I was determined to uncover the truth.The instability in the region had rendered us backward and subservient to the other five regions despite Ironclaw being the primary producer of essential resources. I needed to identify t
Raina's POV"How was your day?" Tristan asked me."It was fun. I delivered the chocolate, spent some time with the children, and returned," I said, and he nodded with approval.I didn't speak a word, so I didn't say something that would offend him and get on his bad side.The dinner finished as quickly as it started, and I didn't eat much. I wasn't hungry; I was too worried and afraid to be hungry.Tristan got up and stretched his hands towards me. I took them, and he pulled me to his chest. Then he swayed a little, making me gasp because I almost fell. It gave a rush that went to my head, and I chuckled a bit from the excitement it caused."When last did you dance like this?" he playfully whispered in my ear, and I didn't know how to answer him or tell him because the truth was, I danced last at my wedding reception. My silence made him stiffen."Very well," he said, lifting me in his arms and tossing me into the bed. My heart was beating fast because I could not expect anything good
Raina's POVI was stunned when I discovered that Tristan had upgraded my living arrangement. Unsure of his intentions, I knew I had to remain cautious—it could very well be another trap. Tristan was notoriously difficult to read and often extreme in his actions. Despite this uncertainty, I resolved to live in the moment, finding solace in the peace I felt at the end of each day.Following Tristan's directive, I relocated to the old Luna's room. I knew it was only a matter of time before things took another turn. While there were signs his heart might be softening, it didn't change my status; I was neither his wife nor the Luna. This realisation might have troubled me once, but now I felt numb to it. The emotional toll of my situation had left me indifferent to such thoughts.I dressed in simple clothes and headed to the store to buy some chocolates and snacks for the children at the shelter. I was glad I would be able to keep my promise to the little girl there. I didn't have much mon
Tristan's POVI went to my mother's cell, and she was sitting in a corner. I noticed they had allowed her to shower. I guess she had maids who were loyal to her. Was she the one who tried to kill Raina? Most of the maids were hostile towards Raina. I wouldn't put it past my mother using them against Raina."Elisabeth," I said. She did not deserve to be called mother."I see they are treating you well," I added, and she looked at me. I could see her fatigue and sadness. I bet she never thought this would be her future."What do you want, Tristan?" She asked me, sounding tired."I want to know why you would send people to try to kill Raina," I asked her, and she looked at me with shock."Don't try to pretend. I am sure my father fell for your charms, but I won't," I said, and she looked angry."Don't bring your father into this," she said, sounding hurt, and I chuckled."Of course, I would. You married the man who killed him and gave everything he had to that man and his child, including
Tristan's POVDean stepped back, tears welling in his eyes, his sorrow palpable. Despite his feelings for Raina, the reality was that she was mine. His love must have been inferior, a sick love that stemmed from pride simply because she was the only one who never fancied him. I was sure that was the entire purpose of marrying her. "You still think I am the enemy, Tristan," he said and laughed."You still think I am your problem? That mother is your problem? You still believe all that shit!" he asked."You are as blind as rage makes you. Look around you. You have locked Mother and me up. You also locked the Winters up. Your 'mate' and her siblings, too. Yet you are not satisfied; deep down, you know this shit is bigger than both of us. It is bigger than this," He said, and I nodded."Why else am I alive? Why haven't you killed me like you killed my father!" he asked, and I laughed.Taking a deep breath, I looked into his eyes."Because you are my brother," I said, and he was silent."I
Tristan's POVAfter breakfast, I called for some maids to clear the dishes. The two who came were the ones known for reporting Raina."Good morning, Alpha," one of them greeted, and I nodded in response. As they slowly cleared the table, I noticed a shift in their demeanour."What is it?" I asked. They exchanged glances before the bolder one spoke up."Head maid Raina sent food to the slave cells this morning, and head cook Alison is helping her. We also saw her trying on clothes in Luna's room at the pack house. We do not think she is ill, Alpha; she is pretending," she said. I was taken aback by their maliciousness. Raina had once been their Luna, yet their loyalty was clearly nonexistent. Despite my dismay at their cruelty, I was also displeased that Raina continued sending food to the cells. I had hoped this would stop once I sent her siblings away, but she insisted on feeding my enemies—those who had torn us apart. Anger surged through me, and I clenched my fists at my side."Jar
Tristan's POVMorning arrived, and I rushed out of the house, eager to get things done quickly. The uncertainty of who was behind the fire weighed heavily on my heart. My main suspects were Dean and my mother, and I knew I had to uncover the truth from them. Now that Raina was okay. I could focus."Raina," I linked her."Alpha," she responded. I could easily imagine the fear on her face—her voice alone betrayed her anxiety."Do not go to the house. Bring my breakfast to my office," I commanded."Yes, Alpha," she replied. Then I linked Jared, hoping he was around and could join me.He answered eventually.Jared joined me in minutes, with a knowing smile indicating he knew something."What is it?" I asked as he made himself comfortable sitting across from me."You have been unfocused for three days now. Suddenly, Raina is alright, and you are back at the office. I also know you lingered in her room until nighttime," he said."I see why you haven't found out what really happened or made a
Tristan's POVI had fallen asleep in Raina's bed, and when I woke up, the night had already settled in. She was still fast asleep. Carefully, I slipped out of bed, mindful not to disturb her. It wasn't until the fire incident that I realised the depth of her hold on me. The fear that gripped me was palpable, reminding me of Jared's words. As I left her room, my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts about our situation. I couldn't ignore the fact that she seemed uneasy around me, her eyes betraying a fear she tried hard to conceal. I never imagined a day would come when she would be scared of me. Memories of our time together flooded back, culminating in the painful moment of her rejection. The day is etched in my memory. We were together, and I felt an overwhelming urge to share my plans with her. She had a way of making me feel complete, never inadequate. Through her eyes, I saw myself as someone significant, or at least I believed so. I was at ease and filled with confidence, unaware tha
