LOGINAlpha Ricardo believes in an eye for an eye. He treats me like a mirror—whatever pain my brother causes his sister, Ricardo reflects onto me. But what happens when the mirror shows a lie? Maria has fooled the entire pack. She has convinced her brother that she is a victim, when she is actually the villain. Now that I’m carrying Ricardo’s heir, I’m caught in a crossfire of hate and obsession. With my brother’s life on the line and a vengeful husband at my door, I must find the proof to break Maria’s spell. In a house built on secrets, the truth is the only weapon I have left.

The man who used to worship the ground I walked on was gone, replaced by a cold Alpha who acted like a machine.In the middle of the night, the peace of the house was shattered by a phone call. It was Maria. I could hear her shrill, crying voice through the receiver even from across the bed. She was complaining that Leo had finally moved out of their bedroom. He had taken his things and moved into a guest room down the hall, refusing to even look at her.Ricardo’s face turned into a mask of stone. Without saying a word to me, he got up, grabbed his pillow, and walked out. He went to the guest wing to sleep alone, just as my brother was doing to his sister. He was keeping his promise: whatever Maria suffered, I would suffer too. Diana moved into the main house. She didn't go to the servant quarters or the guest house. She took the room right across from ours. The woman I had rescued from th
PAULINEThe air in the courtyard turned cold, even colder than the night breeze. Just minutes ago, I felt like I had won. Ricardo had stood up for me, and Diana had tried to sacrifice herself for me. I thought the bond I had built with Ricardo in our bed was stronger than anything in this world.But I forgot one thing, I am an outsider. And in this house, blood is thicker than any liquid that flows between a man and a woman.Maria, who had been standing silent and trembling, suddenly let out a piercing wail. She didn't just cry, she broke down. She fell to her knees right next to the casket of her father, her hands clutching the wood."My father is dead!" she screamed, her voice breaking into a million pieces. "He is dead because we let a viper into this house! Ricardo, look at me! Look at your sister! I am bleeding inside while you protect the woman who served the poison!"She began to speak in fast, emotional sentences. She talked about how she had tried to be a good sister, how she
PAULINEThe sun had begun to set, casting long, bloody shadows over the estate. Tomorrow was the funeral, the day the late Alpha Alexander would be returned to the earth. If the real killer wasn't found by sunrise, I was the one who would be led to the gallows. I was the official suspect. The village girl who poisoned the king.The Candlelight Vigil was starting in a few minutes. It was a somber, ancient tradition where the pack gathered to light the way for the fallen leader's soul. I was dressed in a heavy black gown, the fabric itching against my skin. I stood in a far corner of the courtyard, feeling like a shadow.Evelyn and Maria stood near the front, surrounded by the high chiefs. They made a show of their grief, wiping away dry eyes with lace handkerchiefs. Every time they looked my way, they pulled their skirts aside as if I were a leper."The killer shouldn't be allowed to hold a candle," Maria whispered loud enough for the guards to hear. "She has no shame.""Clear conscien
PAULINERicardo left early that morning. The house was buzzing with the heavy, dark energy of burial preparations. Black cloths were being draped over the balconies, and the smell of incense was starting to fill the hallways. He kissed me before he left, a hard, desperate kiss that tasted like he was trying to hold onto me forever. He had to meet with the undertakers and the council to finalize the burial of the late Alpha.As soon as his car pulled down the driveway, a strange restlessness took over me. I couldn't just sit in that room like a bird in a cage while my world was falling apart.Maria had been quiet—too quiet. She had been away from the main house all this while, and I wondered what life was like for her and Leo right now. My heart ached when I thought of my brother. I didn't even know if he had actually left that night he tried to rescue me, or if he was still trapped in his own "Mirror Marriage" with that woman.I felt a sudden, sharp need to find him.
