LOGINAlpha Sebastian’s POVXavier was far too confident, and it showed in the way his men charged recklessly toward mine, their battle cries tearing through the air as steel clashed against steel and wolves howled in fury. The battlefield became chaos within seconds, dust rising, bodies colliding, the metallic scent of blood thick enough to choke on. I stood at the center of it all, my grip tightening around my sword as I locked eyes with him, knowing this was no longer just a war for territory it was personal. He had insulted my Luna, my crown, and my pack, and for that, there would be no mercy; I moved first, our blades colliding with a force that sent vibrations through my arms, neither of us willing to yield as sparks flew and the ground beneath us trembled from the sheer intensity of the fight.We circled each other like predators, each strike faster, heavier, more desperate than the last, and with every movement, I could feel the rage inside me growing, fueling me, sharpening my ins
Alpha Xavier POVI knew something wasn’t right. Sebastian’s silence wasn’t something to ignore,it was dangerous. He wasn’t the type to sit back and do nothing, and that alone told me war was already at my doorstep. I was still deep in thought when the doors burst open, slamming hard against the walls as one of my betas rushed in, breathless and pale.“Alpha Xavier… they—” he gasped, clutching his chest, struggling to speak. “They are here.”For a split second, the room fell silent, then everything exploded.“Get everyone ready!” I roared, my voice echoing through the hall. “No one stays behind. We go to war today! We will bring chaos upon them, we will tear through their defenses and take what is ours!”The warriors let out loud, thunderous growls in response, the sound vibrating through the walls like a storm about to break. Weapons were grabbed, armor secured, and the once quiet pack ground turned into a frenzy of movement. Still, I noticed hesitation. A few of them stepped back, ex
Helen POVI knew everything was over the moment Valeria ordered that I be thrown into the dungeon. At first, I thought I could still manipulate her by using the bond we once claimed as sisters to soften her heart, to make her release me and my parents. But I had spoken too much, pushed too far, and now there was no turning back. Deep down, I knew I wasn’t getting out of this alive. Still, I refused to accept it so easily. I convinced my parents to try one last time, to make her listen, to bargain with whatever we had left. When she finally came to see us, I tried to use the only leverage I had left. I told her we knew about her real family, hoping it would shake her, hoping it would buy us freedom. But nothing went as planned.The nights that followed were nothing but torment. I watched my mother groan endlessly in pain, her body growing weaker with each passing hour. I watched my father break apart, blaming himself over and over again for everything that had happened, for trusting m
Valerie POV“It was him,” I said under my breath, my eyes widening in shock and disbelief. For a moment, I actually thought my mind was playing tricks on me. If anyone had told me that the same man I met years ago in Crestwood Pack would one day be standing right in front of me like this, I would have laughed it off without hesitation. And yet here he was.“My lady,” he said respectfully, bowing his head in courtesy. That familiar voice only made the confusion inside me grow deeper. I didn’t waste another second before rushing toward him.“How did you get here? How did you even know I was here? Have you been following me all this time?” I asked quickly, my tone sharper than intended. A soft smile appeared on his lips, calm and almost too composed for the situation. He slowly shook his head and straightened his posture.“Not at all, my lady,” he replied evenly. “I’m not here because I followed you. I was informed. I received a message from Elder Howard some time ago. Strangely enough,
Valeria POVSlowly, the courtroom began to empty. One by one, the elders and guards took their leave, their footsteps fading into silence until it was just me and the aftermath of everything I had done. I stood there, unmoving, in the middle of the lifeless bodies of the people I had once called family, those I had trusted, those who had broken me in ways I could never fully explain. All for power, for greed, for control.Now they lay still, their ambitions buried with them, All except Helen.She was still alive, barely. Her body trembled weakly against the cold floor, chains binding her wrists and ankles, her strength completely drained. The guards moved to drag her away, but I raised my hand, stopping them instantly. They exchanged confused glances, but I didn’t bother explaining.“Leave her,” I said calmly. “I’m not done yet.”They stepped back. One of them handed me the chain, and I yanked it harshly, dragging her closer to me. A weak cry escaped her lips as she struggled to stay
Valeria POVI rushed out of the chamber, only to find a guard standing at the entrance. For a moment, my heart skipped, but he quickly bowed and reminded me about the council of elders’ meeting. That was when it struck me, I was no longer just Valeria. I was now the acting ruler of the pack while my mate was away at war. Pushing every lingering thought aside, I quickly changed into a simple dress, nothing too extravagant, and made my way to the courtroom.The moment I stepped in, the atmosphere shifted. My father, his wife, and Helen were already kneeling at the center, guarded and waiting. I didn’t spare them a single glance as I walked past, my steps steady, my expression unreadable, until I reached the throne. Only after I sat down did I lift my gaze and even then, it was brief. I could feel Helen’s eyes on me, burning with something fierce, but I ignored it.Silence filled the courtroom as everyone waited for me to speak. This was the moment their judgment. A faint smile lingered
Alpha Sebastian POVI walked back to my chambers, and somehow I felt defeated. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop the thoughts racing through my head. I had been so close to finding out the truth, so close to catching the person who had a hand in what happened to my child. Yet just when it
Helen POVI held my breath through all the hours I spent in the courtroom. My chest felt tight the entire time. All I could do was pray silently in my heart that Mary would not say anything that would implicate me.When I watched them being dragged out, I breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Not long af
Alpha Sebastian POVI turned toward the direction where the maid was pointing, and the smile on my lips slowly grew wider. For a brief moment, a dark thought crossed my mind. Strangely, I had been hoping that the maid would point directly at Helen. If she had done that, I wouldn’t have wasted even
Alpha Sebastian POVI returned to my chambers and sat quietly beside the fire. The flames flickered before my eyes, yet I could barely see them. My gaze was fixed into empty space as the unbearable pain in my chest continued to grow. My heart felt like it was being torn apart piece by piece.All I
