Tamara's POV

I stood there, horrified and heartbroken but I refused to give up.

"But this is my house Jack! I’m the Luna of the winter pack so I get to say who—“

“You don’t get to say anything alone Luna! Have you forgotten that we merged our packs when I claimed you?” Jack interrupted. "I have an equal say in everything. Stop being selfish and think of others for once. Kate will stay with us and that’s final." He declared in a firm unyielding Alpha tone.

I felt my blood boil as I watched Jack scoop Kate up in his arms and carry her to one of the bedrooms upstairs.

She still had that smug smile on her face. That bitch!

Kate had won this round, and unless I did something drastic, she would continue to win. But what could I do?

The logical thing would be to break up with him now so we don’t get married and he doesn’t kill me in the future right?

But there was one problem. Our packs had already merged to become one, and as my pack had grown, Jack’s pack had grown in number and power too.

If I broke up with him, he would probably turn around and send his pack to attack my people with our own resources, and that would be a blood bath.

If I was going to break up with Jack, I had to make sure that my pack would be protected by something or someone strong enough to scare away any retaliation from Jack. But how was I supposed to find that kind of protection? Jack was scared of nobody.

I felt so choked up with emotion that it was overwhelming. I needed some space to breathe.

I left the house, stripped off my clothes and shifted into my wolf form as I ran into the woods, the cool evening air was amazing against my skin.

It felt amazing to be alive!

I felt my wolf Maya rise to the surface to speak to me. “Our parents are alive too! In this time line, our friends and loved ones are all still alive! Tamara, we have to keep them safe this time!” She urged and I agreed.

It seemed that the war and attacks that killed our parents and killed almost half of my pack hadn’t started happening yet.

According to the past timeline, in Just four months from now, Our worst enemy, the ruthless Alpha Dante would send his men to start spying on us. Then he would launch a surprise attack and kill my parents who had retired to Switzerland.

In the past, Alpha Dante had claimed that he was attacking us because my pack members had stolen from him, but we never did such a thing, we were being framed.

After that, a war broke out between us and Alpha Dante wiped out more than half of my pack members.

In the past, Kate used that opportunity to convince my people that everything was my fault. The people blamed me for the death of their loved ones, and turned their backs on me, choosing to support Kate instead.

All this would happen in just four months from now. Which meant that I only had about four months to save my self, my parents and my pack from certain death.

I ran deeper into the forest, trying to clear my thoughts but I soon got tired and decided to head home.

I was sweaty from the run, so I decided to take a shower, but just as I began to strip off my clothes, Jack walked in with an apologetic look on his face. He was also holding a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates.

I quickly pulled my top down, hiding my nakedness from him.

Jack quirked his brow at me. "Why are you hiding your breasts from me? It's not like I haven't seen before." He said and I felt like punching him. He had lost the rights to my body the day I realized he was a traitor.

“What do you want Jack?” I snapped, failing to hide my irritation from him.

Jack looked so shocked at my tone that he froze. “What’s got into you Tamara? You’ve never spoken to me like this before, did I do something wrong?” He asked and I wanted to laugh.

The only thing he did wrong was lie to me, cheat on me, betray me, and then kill me and my unborn child, but he couldn’t discover that I knew these things, so I faked another smile and sighed.

“I’m sorry darling, preparing for the wedding is making me a little tired lately.” I apologized and Jack smiled at me.

"It’s alright Tamara," he began,"I'm also very sorry for yelling at you earlier and arguing with you. I shouldn't have disrespected you in front of everyone. I swear it will never happen again. Please forgive me." He said.

I blinked at him in surprise. The Jack from my past never bought me flowers, and he never apologized so profusely. What was going on?

  • Her thirst for vengeance   A bastard’s child

    Chris’s pov In a split second, I moved across the room like a blur. I grabbed Lily by the throat, slamming her hard against the stone wall beside my desk. The force of the impact rattled the picture frames on the wall. "Chris!" Lily gasped, her pale green eyes stretching wide with sudden, absolute terror as my hands tightened around her neck. My dark amber eyes flared with lethal, blinding Alpha aura. My fangs elongated, and my chest heaved with wild, furious growls. The air in the office turned suffocatingly heavy, crushed under the weight of my rage. "Listen to me very carefully, Lily," I snarled, my voice dropping into a terrifying, guttural register right against her ear. "You can complain about Anna. You can complain about the throne. You can complain about the house staff. But if you *ever* speak Sarah’s name like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out with my bare hands." Lily gasped for air, her hands clutching at my wrist, her knees trembling beneath her.

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Chris’s pov

    Chris’s povI slammed the heavy wooden door of my private study shut, but it didn't stop Lily from storming in right behind me."I cannot fucking believe you, Chris!" Lily screamed, her face flushed red with pure rage as she threw her hands into the air. "You humiliated me! In front of the servants! In front of *her*!"I walked over to my desk, rubbing my thumb against the bridge of my nose as a massive headache pulsed behind my eyes. I was exhausted. I had spent the last six hours dealing with border breach reports, trying to secure our dying territory, and managing the suffocating tension between Anna and me. I didn't have the energy for Lily’s drama."Lily, please," I muttered, my voice low and weary. "Just lower your voice. I have work to do.""Lower my voice?!" Lily shrieked, marching right up to my desk and slamming both of her palms onto the mahogany surface. "You took away my authority at dinner! You let Anna—an exiled outsider—order me around and take my staff! You made me lo

  • Her thirst for vengeance   The bargain

    Author’s note; just checking in. Please if you are still reading, drop a comment. I want to know if I should finish this book, or drop it.Anna’s povChris stood pinned against the wall, his chest rising and falling heavily as my fingers stayed dug into his shirt collar. Tears were still filling my eyes, but I was burning with pure, unadulterated fury."Answer me, Chris!" I screamed, my voice shaking the hallway. "What did she do to our daughter?!"Chris didn't push my hands away. He didn't raise his voice. He just looked down at me, his dark amber eyes filled with a raw, painful shadow."I didn't know it was this bad, Anna," Chris said softly, his voice trembling slightly.I blinked, taking a small step back, though my hands dropped slowly from his shirt. "What?"Chris let out a long, shuddering breath, running a hand over his tired face. He leaned his head back against the stone wall, looking up at the ceiling."Why do you think I blackmailed you to come back?" Chris asked quiet, h

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Seeing Sarah

    Anna’s POV My hands were still shaking from the text message about the East, but I forced myself to swallow the panic. Right now, I had to stay focused on Sarah. Chris met me at the end of the long hallway leading toward the Alpha family wing. He looked around nervously, checking the empty corridor. "Lily is down in the main kitchen," Chris whispered, his voice low. "I told her there was an emergency with the vendor contracts for the Alpha summit, and she needed to inspect the banquet prep personally. It will keep her busy for at least an hour." "Good," I said, my steel-gray eyes narrowing. "Lead the way." Chris pulled a silver key from his pocket and led me down the quiet, carpeted hallway. He stopped in front of a heavy wooden door at the far end. Before sliding the key into the lock, Chris paused. He turned to face me, his dark amber eyes filled with a heavy, uncomfortable shadow. "Anna," Chris said softly, hesitation clear in his voice. "Before you go in... I need to warn

  • Her thirst for vengeance   Talking about Sarah

    Anna’s povI was basically yelling at Chris now. "Sarah barely smiles anymore, Chris," I said, my voice cracking as the anger turned into raw, aching heartbreak. "You are her father! How can you stand by and watch Lily strip away everything that made Sarah special? How can you let her isolate our child?"Chris stood completely still. He stared down at me, looking at the pure pain in my steel eyes.I prepared myself for him to fight back. I expected him to defend Lily, to shout at me, to tell me I had no rights here because I was banished. I braced my body, ready to scream at him, ready to fight with everything I had.Instead, Chris let out a long, shuddering breath.The harsh, arrogant mask on his face completely crumbled. He looked tired, older, and deeply regretful."You're right," Chris said softly.I blinked, completely stunned. My brain froze. "What?""You're right, Anna," Chris repeated, his voice quiet and heavy with emotion. "I've been so focused on the war, on the borders, on

  • Her thirst for vengeance   My daughter

    Anna’s povI sat on the edge of my small bed, staring at the folded piece of thick parchment in my hands.The red **X** marked directly over my daughter’s bedroom burned into my retinas.*The Alpha's distraction is complete. Proceed with stage two tomorrow night.*My first instinct last night had been to run straight to Chris, to shove this paper in his face, and demand he lock down the entire house. But as the cold morning light filtered through the dusty window, my rational mind kicked in.There truly was a mole in this pack house, someone high enough to know guard rotations and secure layout maps. Chris was blindly trusting the people around him. If I handed this map to him, it could instantly alert the traitor that we knew. I couldn't trust Chris to handle this safely. Not yet.I carefully slid the parchment into a hidden zippered pocket inside my tactical bag.I pulled out my phone and tapped the screen. Nothing. No missed calls, no texts from Dorian after our explosive argument
