YELENA “At least give me a kiss,” he said softly.I looked away. “I’m not your wife.”He sighed, sitting up properly now. “You want me to read the letter, right? If I read it, you’ll stop being angry?”I didn’t answer.“Fine,” he muttered and finally opened it.Silence filled the room, heavy and slow.I found myself watching him without meaning to. At first, nothing changed. Then his body stiffened. His jaw tightened. His eyes… shifted.The blue darkened, flickering into gold. His wolf was rising.Anger rolled off him in waves, thick and hot. I could feel it against my skin. Without thinking, I reached out and touched his arm.His skin burned.I pulled back immediately, my heart jumping. “Tristan…”My voice came out softer than I meant.He blinked, his eyes slowly returning to normal. But the tension stayed. The anger didn’t leave.“How are you sure it’s Livia?” he asked, lifting the letter slightly.I stared at him.“Because it’s her,” I said firmly. “She’s the only one who’s been t

YELENAHe looked at the letter like he was only seeing it for the first time, his brows pulling together in confusion.“Ma’am, I-I don’t know how it got here. I was at my post all day.”“Exactly,” I snapped, my voice rising before I could stop it. “If anyone should know how this got here, it should be you. But it looks like you’re not focused on your work anymore.”Because it didn’t make sense, not at all. How could something like this slip in when he was right there?Did she jump inside?My eyes flicked toward the high walls, then back at the gate.No… Livia didn’t look like someone who would climb walls.‘You don’t know her,’ Lena’s voice slid into my head, calm but sharp. ‘She could have jumped. Or… she sent someone.’I went still.That… made more sense.‘Yes,’ I agreed silently, my jaw tightening. ‘She sent someone.’I looked back at the guard. He was still staring at the ground like the answer would magically appear there.“Well,” I said, colder now, and steadier, “don’t let thi

YELENAAfter I told her everything, Nyra just stared at me, her brows lifted slowly, her lips parting a little. “Really? That happened?”“Yes,” I said simply because there was nothing more to say.She held my gaze for a second longer, like she was trying to read my face, trying to see if I was hiding something. Then she leaned back. Her face changed.She looked… almost pleased.“Well,” she said, brushing it off with a small shrug, “he deserved it. What he felt is nothing compared to what you went through.”My chest tightened.“Nyra...”“Yes, don’t ‘Nyra’ me,” she cut in quickly, sitting up straighter. “He truly deserved it. And trust me, he hasn’t even seen real pain yet.”Her tone was sharp and firm.I looked at her, really looked at her, and for a second, I saw it. She was protecting me in her own way.Still…“Okay, that’s enough,” I said, my voice quieter now. “I need to take my medication.”I expected her to stand up, to go and bring it but she didn’t.Of course, she didn’t.Nyra

YELENAI couldn’t believe my eyes.I couldn’t believe what I just saw.Everything felt too fast, too heavy… like my chest couldn’t hold it all.I stood there, frozen, watching my dad hit him, watching Tristan stand there… and take it without fighting back, without stopping him... He just told him.My dad’s face was twisted with anger, his wolf too close to the surface, his eyes dark, burning with something I knew too well... pain.He never forgave Tristan, not after what happened to me. Even when I told him to let it go… even when I begged him to stop… he never listened.He wanted Tristan to feel it, every bit of it... The pain, the anger, and the helplessness.Everything I went through and maybe… I was just like him because a part of me never truly let it go either.“It’s all his fault!” he had said, over and over again. He didn’t care that Tristan was an Alpha.He didn’t care that he had been trying… in his own way… to fix what could never be undone.He just wanted him to hurt and T

TRISTANI moved...My body reacted before my mind could stop it, my wolf rising fast, pushing me forwardBut something held me back, a hand was tight on my trousers.I froze.I didn’t even need to look.I already knew, it was Yelena.The grip wasn’t strong, not compared to me, but it was enough. Enough to stop me. Enough to pull me back from whatever I was about to do.The tension in the room snapped. Tyler saw it. His parents saw it too. Fear flickered across their faces, and without wasting a second, they turned and walked out, the door closing behind them quickly like they were escaping something dangerous.Good.They should.I turned slowly.Yelena still held onto me. Her fingers curled into the fabric like she didn’t trust me not to move again.“Why did you stop me?” My voice came out low, controlled,d and bare.“Because I don’t want you to hurt him more than he already is,” she said simply and calmly, but I didn’t believe her, not even for a second.My eyes stayed on her, search

TRISTANI ignored Jackson.I didn’t even look at him.If he wanted a reaction from me, he wasn’t going to get it.Yelena tried to sit up, slow and stubborn like always, like her body didn’t just go through hell.I moved before she could, pressing my hand to her shoulder and easing her back down.“Let me...” Her brows pulled together, and she slapped my hand away as if I’d offended her. “I want to see him.”Of course she did.My jaw tightened, but I stood up anyway, forcing my voice to stay calm. “You’ll see him. You don’t have to go out.”Jackson stepped in like he had a right to. “Yes, Lena… we’ll let them come in one by one.” She relaxed at that, her eyes going straight to the door, waiting... Waiting for him.Something ugly rose in my chest.I didn’t want her to see him.I didn’t want him anywhere near her. I didn’t want his eyes on her… not now, not ever.Jackson turned to me then, as if I were the problem. “You’ll have to step out so they can come in.”I frowned at him.Since whe

DAZE"Felda… you did this.""You killed my mate and ran away with my pup!"“Ahhhhh!” I screamed, my claws digging into the wall until it cracked. Pain shot up my arms, but I didn’t care. Nothing mattered anymore. My chest heaved with rage, grief, and a thousand thoughts I couldn’t control. I could feel the world spinning, yet nothing could touch the fire in my blood.King Finnian was there, trying to calm me down, but I barely noticed him. Everyone had come after the news reached them. They had heard my mate was dead. Her sister had been crying since the day it happened, blaming herself for leaving her behind. King Finnian held her in his arms, murmuring soft words I didn’t want to hear. Her parents had been grieving too, silent and broken, their tears were like knives stabbing at the emptiness I felt.I went mad the next day when I saw my mate in cold blood. I saw the ruin she had left behind, my guards were slaughtered like lambs, their lifeblood was painting the earth. I ran thro

FELDAEverything she said kept ringing in my head like a curse I couldn’t shake off. Elsa… in labour… dying. The words sank into me slowly, like cold water sliding down my spine. I blinked and looked up, expecting to still see Emora standing there, crying, begging, and breaking. But she was gone.My heart jumped.“Emora?” My voice cracked. “Emora!”I rushed out of the cave like something was chasing me. My feet hit the wet forest ground, and I didn’t care that branches tore at my skin. I pushed through tall grass and thick bushes, shouting her name again and again.“Emora! Please, where are you?! Come back to me!”My voice echoed into the trees like a frantic animal. I searched like a madwoman, turning left and right, dragging my fingers through the dark leaves as if I could pull her out of them.I shouldn’t have said those things to her. I shouldn’t have slapped her. I shouldn’t have called her a snake. What was wrong with me? Why did I always push away the only person who stayed? Wa

FELDAI didn’t understand why she wouldn’t leave me alone. Why did none of them ever stop touching what should’ve been dead years ago? They all wanted me broken, torn apart, crawling in the dirt while they watched and laughed. But the Moon Goddess had her own plans. She kept me alive, not because she loved me… but because of Emora.If that girl hadn’t sneaked out that night, if she hadn’t poured that bitter antidote down my throat while everyone wanted me gone, I would’ve died from the poison. A slow, burning death. Maybe that would’ve given them peace.So I stayed alive. Because one soft-hearted girl disobeyed her orders.I shouldn’t have been surprised when I later heard everything, every lie, every poison, every betrayal was caused by Velin. I had always known she had a hand in it. Arianna wouldn’t work for anyone without a bigger monster behind her. Velin was that monster. I wished her dead a thousand times over. I wished the ground would swallow her bones.When she finally paid t

ELSAI hadn’t had peace of mind since the moment I learned the truth about what we’d done to Queen Felda. I found out from her maid that she was the one who had truly saved Daze. She had given up her only chance at happiness for him. And Daze didn’t know. He probably hated her so much that he wished she’d died instead… He never wanted me to speak her name.Guilt gnawed at me every day, heavy and relentless. I couldn’t undo the wrong, I couldn’t erase the past, but maybe… maybe I could ask for forgiveness. If it were even possible.I sent men to find her, careful that Daze never knew. They tracked her to a remote cave. When I learned she was alive, my heart ached and swelled at the same time. She had survived alone, abandoned by everyone even her family, the people she trusted. She was stronger than I could have ever imagined.I wrote her a letter, pouring everything out. I told her what I knew about her, how grateful I was for all she’d done, how I had betrayed her. At the end, I aske

ISOLDE I couldn’t believe this day had finally come. I never thought I would feel this kind of happiness, this kind of ending that felt like a dream I was too scared to speak aloud. I had always imagined being with Finnian, yes, but never imagined standing beside him as a queen. The thought made my chest tighten and my heart flutter.He had insisted we marry before his coronation, and as always, the elders had no choice but to obey. They muttered among themselves, their anger barely hidden, but it didn’t matter. I thought we had freedom... freedom to choose whom we wanted as long as they wanted us but Finnian had shown me that fate had already chosen for us.The maids fussed over me as I sat in front of the mirror, letting them dress me in the red royal gown Finnian had chosen. It shimmered with gold stones, catching the light with every movement, reflecting the kind of elegance only a queen could carry. I was silent, letting them braid and twist my hair, letting their hands prepare

ISOLDEI closed the door quietly, expecting the familiar face of one of my maids, but it wasn’t them, it was Finnian. Standing there, framed in the doorway, my chest clenched at the sight. I didn’t want to see him. I wasn’t ready.“Let me in, Isolde,” he said, frustration bleeding into his voice, his power barely contained in the room. I hesitated. But then, my curiosity won over my pride, and I opened the door. He stepped inside, cautious at first, then bold, reaching as if to touch me.“I-Isolde…” His voice was soft, almost pleading.“What are you doing here, Finnian?” I asked, keeping my tone steady, though my heart thudded against my ribs. He raised a brow, a flicker of impatience passing over his features.“You’re asking what I’m doing in my mate’s chamber?”My lips pressed into a thin line. “So now… You remember I’m your mate, after a moon of anger and… forgetfulness? I didn’t even know we’d see each other again,” I said quietly, sadness slipping into my words. I saw the guilt f
