Zoriana’s hands gripped the steering wheel tighter as she drew closer to the Iron-Heart Pack. The name itself was unsettling, but the scenery was breathtaking. However, nothing compared to the sight that greeted her at the gates.

Behind a towering fence and an iron gate intricately forged with patterns of wolves and roses lay a territory that looked more like a fairy tale than a devil’s den. A magnificent garden stretched toward the largest mansion she had ever seen—a structure so grand it ec

    “And why is this little... who-... she-wolf present at the meeting?” Queen Calista asked, pointing at Fairuza with unmasked disgust.“We are uncovering traitors today, so she is part of the narrative,” Zoriana replied flatly.“Traitors? I thought we only had one,” Gael smirked, casting a dark look toward his brother. “Or is Fairuza his accomplice?” he snorted.“You will know everything in due course, Your Highness,” Zoriana said, taking a sharp breath.“Let the show begin,” Kalina beamed ecstatically in her mind. Zoriana didn't entirely share her wolf's joy; she was still anxious that things could go south at any moment.Forcing her chin up, she squared her shoulders. When she spoke, her voice was loud, clear, and commanding total authority.“First, I have a confession to make. A few months ago, Prince Gael appointed me as a Royal Advisor. However, my true mission was not to help prepare for rogue attacks. It was to uncover the traitors within this realm. Today is the day the wolves w

    Zoriana had messaged Tristan. She wanted to pour her heart out, to tell him everything she was feeling, but instead, she kept the text strictly professional—dry facts detailing the evidence so he would know how to play along during the meeting.“Okay.”The reply had come hours later, causing her heart to clench painfully. Deep in her soul, she had expected him to add an “I miss you,” or at least a few words of appreciation that she had finally gotten to the bottom of this farce. But there was nothing. Just a cold, distant, one-word response.Kalina growled angrily in her mind, but it was what it was.Time passed quickly, and Zoriana checked her folder one last time. The evidence was spotless. Smoothly running her hands over the fabric of her charcoal suit, she stepped toward the elevator, her high heels clicking confidently against the floor. Her heart was racing—not out of fear, but from a desperate impatience to finally conclude this chapter of her life. Justice. Closure.A warm han

    Zoriana’s heart turned over at the thought of Tristan, but now was not the time. She still had tasks to finish before she could finally complete her mission. Leaving her family at the restaurant, she made a brief stop at the rogue camp—an unpleasant but entirely necessary pit stop.“One more unpleasant task,” she muttered, dialling Gael’s number.He picked up on the very first ring. “I knew you’d come to your senses. We are fated mates, after all, and in the end, that's all that matters.”“Yeah, you’re right,” she replied softly, detesting the bitter taste of the lie in her mouth. “I have good news—I finally got the proof we need to pin Tristan down. We can finally be together openly, just like you promised.”She heard Gael take a sharp, ragged breath over the line. A month ago, his betrayal would have cut her to the bone. Now, after everything she had witnessed, she felt absolutely nothing. Gael had never planned to break his engagement with Princess Flavia; he simply wanted to keep

    “Good evening, everyone,” the woman said. “I’m sorry for interrupting your dinner. Alpha Zoriana, could we speak alone?”Zoriana nodded. She knew better than to reject a royal messenger.“So Gael doesn't even have the guts to come himself after what he’s done,” Kalina hissed in her mind.“Looks like it,” Zoriana muttered, leading the woman to a small private room at the back of the restaurant.“Would you like something to eat or drink, Ms...?” Zoriana asked the moment they sat down.The woman was clutching the fabric of her cloak nervously. “Brianna,” she replied softly, her eyes sweeping the room with apprehension. “I am the Royal Beta female. And I don’t want food or drink.”Zoriana raised an eyebrow in surprise. She never knew Karel was mated; now, it seemed he was sending his own mate to run his errands.“Congratulations on your mating, Beta Brianna,” Zoriana replied politely.“Oh, I think condolences would

    Before Zoriana could dive back into her thoughts, a mind-link came through from Aella.“Zori, how are you? I heard you and Tristan had a fight and that you left Iron Heart. I’m so sorry. I feel terrible staying here and abandoning you when you're going through this.” Aella sounded truly devastated.“Sweety, the last thing I want is for you to be upset about my affairs,” Zoriana replied warmly. “You found your mate, and there is nothing wrong with staying by his side. Roman is a good wolf; I’m certain he’ll treat you right. You and your pup deserve the best.”“But you’re my best friend. I feel guilty enjoying my life when you need support—both emotionally and with your mission. I haven't contributed much to the investigation, either.”Zoriana smiled. Even when her love life was a disaster, her friends never let her down. She felt blessed to have such amazing people in her circle.“Do not worry at all. Just focus on bonding with your mate and prepare to take your rightful place as Luna,

    “Ryder, it’s fake! All those photos are fake!” Milana broke into loud, jagged sobs. She spun toward Zoriana, her face twisted in rage. “Did you bring these? You fabricated these photos of me just to try and snatch my mate back. You bitch!”Ryder sat motionless, his face appearing as if it were carved from stone. “Fine. If the photos are fabricated, explain this.”He pressed a button, and a recording of Milana’s voice filled the room: “Oh, daddy, I miss your big fat cock—”“Don’t believe any of it! It’s AI-generated, mimicking my voice!” Milana sobbed louder, her body trembling. “Ryder, you know I love you. I’m carrying your pup. I would never—”Ryder sighed and turned on the projector. The sharp, rhythmic sound of skin slapping skin filled the office. In the recording, Milana was on top of the a man, her back facing his chest, her face on full display. The room was unmistakably the same one seen in every photograph.Her breast bouncing fast as he was thrusting in her relentlessly.“Wh

    The SUV came to a halt. They hadn't reached the Iron-Heart pack lands yet. “The food in your former pack was awful. I hope you don’t mind grabbing a late breakfast? I’m starving,” Tristan said, his voice surprisingly soft. Only then did Zoriana realize ho

    Zoriana listened to the conversation, offering remarks only when prompted. She wasn't focused; the outcome of these negotiations didn't truly matter to her. In fact, she was surprised they were happening at all. Alpha Tristan didn't need this alliance, and for Ryder, joining forces with Tristan w

    The she-wolf jumped to her feet, extending a hand to Zoriana. “My name is Fairuza. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alpha Zoriana. Your reputation precedes you; I hope we can become friends. Why don't you join us for Tristan’s break?”Zoriana shook Fairuza's warm hand, her mind racing. "Just Fairuza. S

    Meeting a fated mate was supposed to be the most important moment in a werewolf’s life. It was the fairy tale they heard about as pups, the moment they waited for from the second they felt their wolves stir. It was the moment eyes locked, the most delicious scent hit the nostrils, and wolves howl
