MasukI was born an Alpha’s daughter, raised with strength, honor, and the knowledge that leadership was in my blood. But my heart had other plans. I fell in love with Kael—a wolf who had never even dreamed of becoming an Alpha. He wasn’t the strongest. He wasn’t the fiercest. But I saw something in him that no one else did. He had a heart that cared, a mind that strategized, and a quiet strength waiting to be awakened. At first, Kael didn’t care for power. He didn’t want the burden of leading. But when the Stormcrest Pack was left without an Alpha, when the pack needed a leader, he had no choice but to step up. And I was there. I trained with him. I fought beside him. I built him into the Alpha he never planned to be. When others doubted him, I stood by his side, proving them wrong. I gave up my own place in my father’s pack to be with him, believing that together, we could lead. But love wasn’t enough. On the night of his Alpha ceremony, I waited, my heart pounding, believing this was our moment. That he would finally claim me as his mate. That he would acknowledge everything we had built together. But under the full moon, in front of the entire pack, Kael looked me in the eyes and rejected me Humiliated and heartbroken, I had nowhere to go. No pack to return to. No future. I ran. That’s when I stumbled into Shadowfang territory. And that’s when I met him. Alpha Asher. Cold. Ruthless. Feared.

It was the way the air felt—tense, like it was holding its breath, waiting for something to go wrong.I had just finished feeding the triplets. They were finally asleep, their tiny bodies curled close to each other on the bed. The house was small, but peaceful. No palace. No guards. No whispers. No Zaria.I thought I had escaped her.I sat on the edge of the couch, holding a cup of lukewarm tea. I hadn’t even tasted it yet. My hands were too tired, and my mind had too many questions. I didn’t know if Asher had tried looking for me. I didn’t know if he believed the rumors. But what I did know—what I kept reminding myself—was that I left because I had to breathe again.But just as I stood to place the cup down, there was a knock at the door.I froze.No one ever visited me here. Not without notice. Damon had promised me privacy. Only he
Chapter 206 — The Final BlowZarina’s POVIt was a quiet morning.Too quiet.The kind of morning that makes your heart ache for a reason you can’t quite explain.I was sitting by the window of the small house I had moved into—far enough from the packhouse to breathe, yet close enough to feel the weight of everything I had left behind. The triplets were still sleeping in the next room, their soft breaths the only warmth I had left. My hands were wrapped around a cup of lukewarm tea, untouched, just something to keep my fingers from trembling.I hadn’t spoken to Asher in days.He hadn’t reached out—not since the photo.The image was burned into my mind. Zaria’s hand on his face, her lips too close to his jawline. It didn’t matter if it was real or staged. It didn’t matter if there was more to the story. The damage was done.My heart had already cracked.And yet… the universe wasn’t done with me.The knock on the door was soft, hesitant.I stood slowly, not expecting anyone, my pulse alr
Chapter 205 — Her PeaceZarina’s POVThe wind outside was soft. The trees swayed gently. The sun peeked through the curtains, but I didn’t feel its warmth.I sat on the edge of the bed, brushing my daughter’s hair as she giggled and kicked her tiny legs. One of the boys was crawling toward a toy near the fireplace. The other was sleeping soundly in the cradle. They were my peace—my reason. But even now, my hands were shaking.Ever since I left the pack house, I had lived in quiet pain. I hadn’t spoken to Asher. Not once. I had blocked the link between us. The only voice I answered was Damon’s—he would sometimes check in on the children and bring supplies. He never pushed me to go back, but his eyes were always filled with pity.I hated that look.I was trying to forget what I saw that day. Zaria’s hand on Asher’s face. The picture spreading like wildfire. The whispers. The betrayal.But today, I couldn’t escape it.Because today, Damon came again. And this time, he wasn’t carrying sup
Chapter 204– StepZarina’s POVI thought I had cried all the tears I had.After everything that happened—the photo, the whispers, the way I packed my children and left the pack like a thief in the night—I thought I had finally reached the end of pain. I told myself nothing else could break me.But I was wrong.The day started normal. As normal as things could be when your heart was in pieces and your mate was no longer by your side. I was sitting outside on the porch, watching the triplets play in the grass, their laughter echoing like a song I didn’t feel worthy of anymore.And then I saw Damon’s car pull up.He had been visiting more often. Helping with food. Checking on the children. I knew he was trying to be supportive—especially because he didn’t agree with what was happening either.But today, his face looked different.He stepped out of the car, holding something in his hands. I stood up slowly, wiping my palms on my dress as I walked toward him.“Damon?” I asked, my voice sof
