The silence that followed Liam’s declaration was as heavy and cold as a shroud. Damon’s accusation hung in the air, a stench of betrayal that clung to everything. For a heartbeat, no one moved. The council members stared, their faces a canvas of horrified revelation. They saw it now: not just a traitorous Luna, but a conspiracy at the very heart of their leadership. The perfect Beta and the grieving Luna, working in tandem to dismantle their world.Alessia felt the floor drop out from under her. This was Kael’s true masterstroke. He hadn’t just framed her; he had created a narrative so complete, so plausible, that any defense sounded like a desperate lie. He had weaponized their trust in Liam, twisting his loyalty into a damning accomplice."You see?" Damon snarled, his voice dripping with venomous triumph. He pointed a thick finger at Liam, then at Alessia. "He's trying to protect her. They've been playing us all along. He probably helped her forge those letters.""Because he's a goo

The first light of dawn was a weak, watercolor wash across the sky, doing little to chase away the persistent gloom of the rain. Sleep had been a distant country Alessia couldn't reach, a shore she kept drifting away from. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Kael's sneering face, heard the venom in his words, felt the phantom grip of his hand on her arm. She had spent the night in a state of hyper-awareness, listening to the sounds of the pack waking up, the distant howls, the rustling of the forest. Each noise was a potential threat, a harbinger of the doom Kael had orchestrated.When the soft knock came at her door, she was already dressed, standing by the window as if she could will the sun to break through the clouds. It was Liam, of course. He entered with two steaming mugs of coffee, his presence a calming balm on her frayed nerves."The council is gathering," he said, handing her a mug. "I spoke to a few of the elders on my way here. Told them we had new information about K

The letter trembled in Alessia’s hand, the ink blurring where her tears fell. Kael’s words were a venomous snake, coiled and ready to strike even from the grave. He hadn’t just betrayed her—he had ensured her ruin. The evidence was meticulously detailed: forged documents with her signature, coded messages to the rival pack signed with her nickname, even a recorded conversation where her voice, twisted and edited, spoke of treason. It was a masterpiece of deception, a final act of cruelty designed to destroy her.The door to the cabin creaked open, and Liam stepped inside, his expression tense. "Alessia? I heard you running. What’s wrong?"She looked up, her vision swimming, the letter clutched to her chest like a dying bird. "He framed me," she whispered, the words barely audible. "Kael… he didn’t just betray us. He made sure everyone would think it was me."Liam’s eyes widened, and he crossed the room in three strides, gently prying the letter from her grasp. As he read, his face har

The rain fell in a relentless, cold drizzle, the kind that seeps into your bones and chills you from the inside out. It was fitting weather for a funeral, even if there was no body to bury. Alessia stood at the edge of the clearing, the hem of her simple black dress soaked through and clinging to her ankles. The pack stood before her, a sea of somber faces, but their grief wasn't for her. It was for Alpha Kael, the brave leader who had fallen in a rogue attack just two days ago.Their brave leader. Her mate.A hollow ache throbbed in her chest, a familiar companion she'd carried for the past year. Not for the loss of Kael—she'd lost him long ago, the moment he'd looked at her with those cold, dismissive eyes—but for the life she had imagined, the love she had so desperately craved. Now, she was just the Luna, a title that felt like a costume she couldn't take off.Beta Liam stepped forward, his voice a low rumble that carried over the sound of the rain. "Kael was a strong Alpha, a pro
