    CHAPTER 48DARIUS POV“…I heard Alpha Darius locked his late wife away.”What?I was standing a few steps away‚ looking at a painting I’d already seen twice‚ when I heard my name in the mouths of some women.My head snapped slightly in their direction.“Used her as a blood bank‚” another voice whispered. “That’s what people are saying now.”My chest tightened.I turned fully this time. “What did you just say?”They froze.Three women stood there‚ glasses in their hands‚ faces pale‚ like they’d been caught stealing.“I asked you a question‚” I said calmly. Too calmly. “Repeat it.”One of them swallowed. “Alpha… it’s… it’s just— we didn’t mean—”“Who said it?” I interrupted. “Now.”They exchanged glances.“No one important‚” another said quickly. “Just rumors.”I stepped closer‚ lowering my voice. “Do you know what happens to people who spread lies about the Alpha?”One of them flinched. “We—we didn’t start it.”“I didn’t ask who started it‚” I said evenly. “I asked who told you.”Their

    CHAPTER 46 CELESTE POVMy blood was still boiling with the after effect of standing in front of Darius...But on the outside‚ I was calm‚ and composed.And I was proud of myself.Proud that I had walked away with my head high.I moved toward the table where the drinks were laid out‚ picked up a glass‚ and took a slow sip‚ letting the coldness slide down my throat when I heard a group of women talking.“That’s him‚” one woman whispered.“Alpha Darius‚” another said softly.“Poor him‚” the second woman continued‚ her voice filled with sympathy. “I heard he never recovered after her death.”“Yes‚” the first replied. “So devoted. Two years and he hasn’t moved on. Some men don’t love like that.”I stared into my glass and smiled faintly.Devoted.The word tasted bitter.“I also heard he refused to remove her name from the pack records‚” someone else added. “Imagine loving someone that much.”Another voice joined in. “Tragic‚ really. Losing his wife like that. People say he was never the s

    CHAPTER 45DARIUS POVShe was leaving.No.I couldn’t let her leave like that.I stepped in front of her before I even realized what I was doing‚ my body reacting faster than my thoughts that knew I was already crossing too many lines.“Excuse me‚” she said calmly‚ stopping short.“I’m not done‚” I said‚ my voice coming out rougher than I intended. “You can’t just walk away.”She tilted her head slightly‚ studying me the way someone looks at a stranger who’s suddenly behaving strangely. “I can‚” she replied evenly. “And I am.”People nearby slowed. I felt it immediately‚ the shift in the room and the way attention turned toward us.“You’re making a scene‚” she added‚ “Again.”My chest tightened. “Just—just wait.”She let out a soft sigh‚ like she was humoring a child who wouldn’t stop asking questions. “What now?”My eyes dropped to her neck.That small‚ dark mole.The one my Beta had pointed out.The one Celeste never had.My hand moved before my mind could catch up.“Don’t touch me‚

    CHAPTER 44 CELESTE POVI knew he was going to come up to me.I felt it even before I heard his voice‚ that familiar pressure crawling up my spine‚ but this time‚ I didn’t turn around immediately.“Celeste‚” he called again.I didn’t answer.He walked closer. “Excuse me.”I finished what I was saying to the person beside me‚ smiled politely‚ nodded‚ then slowly turned around‚ like I had all the time in the world.“Yes?” I said calmly.His face drained of color.For a moment‚ he just stared at me‚ like his mind couldn’t catch up with what his eyes were seeing.“Celeste‚” he said hoarsely. “Baby… you’re alive.”I smiled.“I think you have the wrong person‚” I replied evenly. “My name is Sienna.”“No‚” he said quickly‚ stepping closer. “Don’t pretend‚ baby. I know it’s you.”I looked him over‚ from his face to his clothes‚ then back up again‚ like I was studying a stranger who had interrupted my evening.“I’m sorry‚” I said calmly. “Have we met?”His jaw tightened. “Stop lying‚ baby. It’

    CHAPTER 43 DARIUS POV“Alpha Darius‚ you have to be calm. It may not actually be her because—”“I can't be calm‚” I cut in sharply‚ my hands already shaking as I left the room‚ almost towards my car. “Until I see her. I need to see her.”My Beta stepped directly into my path‚ blocking me like he’d done too many times these past months‚ his voice careful‚ almost pleading‚ like he was talking to someone that was almost insane. “Listen to me for one second. Just one. I’ve looked at the photos again. Closely. There are things that don’t add up.”“I don’t care‚” I snapped‚ my chest tight. “Move.”“She has a mole‚” he said quickly‚ lifting his phone again as if showing it would finally make me understand. “Right here. Under her left eye. Celeste never had that.”“That means nothing‚” I shot back immediately. “People change. Skin changes.”“She looks healthy‚” he continued‚ refusing to back down now‚ his voice firmer. “Too healthy. There’s no signs of trauma in the way she holds herself. Al

    CHAPTER 42 DARIUS’S POV Elenα’s screams stαrted before I even stepped fully into my secret chαmber where I’d kept her hidden for α long time. “Isn’t this whαt you wαnted‚ Dαrius? Didn’t you sαy I deserved it?” “Proceed‚” one of the doctors sαid. Four of them stood αround her. Four needles. Both αrms. Both legs. She struggled αgαinst them‚ metαl biting into her wrists αnd αnkles αs dαrk lines filled the tubing‚ one αfter the other‚ her breαth coming out rαgged‚ hαlf-cry‚ hαlf-lαugh. “Look αt you‚” she gαsped‚ eyes rolling towαrd me. “Stαnding there like α righteous king. Tell me—does this look fαmiliαr?” “Enough‚” I sαid. She lαughed αgαin. “Oh no. Don’t stop them. Let them do it. Let them drαin me until I’m empty. Isn’t thαt whαt you did to her?” “Shut up‚” I snαpped. “She screamed too‚” Elenα continued‚ pαnting. “You just didn’t stαy long enough to heαr it. You signed the orders αnd wαlked αwαy‚ remember? You αlwαys wαlked αwαy.” One of the doctors hesitαted. “Alphα—” “
