Chapter One – Shattered

Zarina’s POV

Today is the day.

The day Kael would be announced as Alpha.

The day he would finally claim me as his mate.

The day he would prove that I hadn’t sacrificed everything for nothing.

I smiled at my reflection, my chest swelling with pride. The deep blue gown Kael had chosen for me hugged my body perfectly, emphasizing every curve he used to admire. My black hair cascaded in soft waves down my back, and my emerald-green eyes shimmered with excitement.

This is it.

I walked away from my title, my family, and everything I had ever known because they said Kael wasn’t good enough for me. That I, the daughter of the strongest Alpha, deserved better than a low-ranked wolf with no real power.

I had stood by Kael when no one else had. When his own pack doubted him, I had pushed him forward. I had fought for him. I had bled for him. I had betrayed my own family for him.

Because I believed in him.

I believed in us.

Tonight, he would prove that my belief in him had not been misplaced.

Stepping outside, my breath hitched as I took in the sight of the pack gathered beneath the towering moon. The air was charged with excitement, the anticipation so thick it was almost suffocating.

And there he stood.

Kael.

Tall. Proud. Every inch the Alpha he was meant to be. His golden eyes gleamed with power, his aura radiating dominance. The sight of him made my heart pound.

He did it.

And I had helped him get here.

Kael cleared his throat, his deep voice commanding absolute silence.

“I want to thank those who stood by me,” he began. “The elders, my warriors, and the pack members who never gave up on me.”

I smiled. My chest tightened with anticipation. He was building up to it. He would thank me next—acknowledge me before everyone.

Any moment now.

But then…

“And now, as your Alpha, I will announce the Luna of this pack. Someone strong. Someone worthy of standing by my side… Elder Magnus’s daughter, Leora.”

The world stopped.

A ringing filled my ears, drowning out the gasps and cheers.

No.

This wasn’t real.

Kael reached for her hand.

Her.

Not me.

Not the woman who had given up everything for him.

Not the woman who had fought beside him.

Not the woman who had loved him more than life itself.

My body moved before my mind caught up. The crowd parted as I stepped forward, my breath coming in shallow gasps.

Whispers.

Stares.

Pity.

They knew.

They all knew what I had done for him—what I had sacrificed.

“Kael,” I whispered, my voice trembling. I climbed the stage, my heart begging for an explanation. “What is this?!”

He turned then, his golden eyes meeting mine.

But they weren’t the same.

They were cold.

Empty.

Uncaring.

Then, to my horror, his lips curled into a small, mocking smile.

“I don’t have anything to do with you anymore, Zarina.”

The words hit me like a blade to the chest.

“Go back to your pack. You don’t belong here.”

Go back?

To the father who disowned me because I choose you? To the pack that turned its back on me because I insist on following you?

“Kael… I gave up everything for you,” I whispered, my voice breaking.

He chuckled. A cruel, heartless sound that made my stomach turn.

“Some mates are not meant to be.”

I staggered.

The pack laughed.

Laughed.

As if my suffering was a joke.

As if my love had meant nothing.

“Let’s all thank Zarina for helping me get here,” Kael announced with a smirk.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Applauding my betrayal.

Tears burned my vision, but I refused to let them fall. I refused to break in front of them.

A drink sat on the table. I grabbed it with shaking hands and gulped it down, the alcohol burning my throat.

Let them watch.

Let them pity me.

Kael’s gaze darkened. He turned to the guards.

“Take her out.”

They hesitated.

Even they pitied me.

But Kael’s voice came again, sharp as a whip. “I am your Alpha. Do as I say.”

Hands grabbed my arms.

I was dragged away.

Thrown aside like I was nothing.

Like I had never mattered.

And just like that…

Kael had won.

And I was alone

    Chapter 207 – The Uninvited GuestZarina’s POVThe wind was different today.It wasn’t just the rustling of the trees or the occasional chirp of birds. 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

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

    Chapter 203 - PhotoZarina’s POVI sat on the porch of the small cottage I had moved into after leaving the packhouse. The wind was soft that morning, but I didn’t feel any of it. My eyes stared into the trees, but my mind wasn’t there.So much had happened in so little time.That photo. That cruel, cruel photo of Zaria touching Asher’s face. It had spread like wildfire—every whisper, every stare, every pitying glance. It broke something in me that I couldn’t put back together.Even now, I could still see her hand on his cheek… her eyes locking with his.Even if it was staged, even if he didn’t want it… the damage was done.I had packed my things and left.

Maybe he let me go.That morning, I thought the pain couldn’t get worse.Until the knock came.Soft. Hesitant.I stood slowly and opened the door. Damon.
