ログインAlpha Sebastian POVA smile spread across my lips as I shrugged slightly. “Yes, I lost her because of your incompetence,” I said calmly. “However, she is here with me today, isn’t she? Sitting right beside me as my Luna. And what did you get in return? You were rejected, Xavier.”I could tell my words struck deeply. He let out a bitter laugh, trying so hard to suppress the rage building inside him. That was exactly what I wanted. I wanted him to lose control. I wanted everyone in that room to see the kind of man he truly was.“I don’t want to go back and forth with you, Alpha Sebastian,” he said, forcing his voice to remain steady. “With all due respect, I am here to take back my mate. Give her back to me, and we will pretend none of this ever happened. Otherwise… I will leave your pack without causing any havoc.”His words amused me. Was he threatening me? Had he suddenly forgotten who I was? With just a snap of my fingers, the Crestwood Pack could be wiped out completely. And the wa
Alpha Sebastian POVEverything had been going smoothly… until Alpha Xavier appeared. The moment I saw him, shock ran through me. I knew for a fact that he had not been invited. So how did he get access to my pack? How did he walk in so boldly? It made me question everything about my guards, my security, my authority. Someone had failed, and I was going to find out who.But then he opened his mouth… and the moment he began to slander Valeria, something inside me snapped. The anger rose instantly, boiling beneath my skin. What exactly was he trying to prove? I could see right through him. He wasn’t here for peace, nor was he here out of courtesy. He came with a purpose to ruin this ceremony, to paint Valeria as unworthy, to turn my pack against her. But that was never going to happen. Not while I stood there. I would never allow anyone especially Alpha Xavier—to disrespect my Luna.Just as the tension in the room thickened and voices began to rise, one of the elders from the council sto
Valeria POVI gasped in shock, the gift slipping from my hands as it hit the ground. The sudden sound drew Alpha Sebastian’s attention, and when he turned toward me, his gaze followed mine to the man standing before us. For a brief moment, he froze, but I could see it the way he forced himself to remain calm, masking whatever storm was rising within him.Alpha Xavier.He stepped forward with a smile, as if he belonged here, as if his presence was not an insult in itself. Bowing slightly, he spoke with a smooth voice, “Congratulations, my lady, on your wedding.” He reached for my hand, intending to kiss it, but I pulled away immediately, disgust tightening in my chest. His touch was the last thing I wanted. My mind raced, wondering if Sebastian had invited him, but the moment Sebastian moved, all doubt vanished.Sebastian lunged forward, shoving him back with force. “How dare you show your face here?” he roared, his voice cutting through the hall. “Who let you into my pack?”The tensi
Valeria POVThe mating ceremony began as the maids led me out into the garden, now transformed into something breathtaking. Every corner was covered in decorations so beautiful they could leave anyone speechless, flowers blooming in perfect harmony, golden fabrics flowing gently with the wind, and soft lights glowing like stars brought down to earth. It should have been the happiest moment of my life, yet my heart felt heavy. I couldn’t fully embrace the joy around me because one thought refused to leave my mind. Sarah was still missing. She wasn’t here to witness this day, the very day she had dreamed of for me, and that absence created a quiet ache inside my chest.As I walked forward, my gaze lifted and met Alpha Sebastian’s. He stood tall at the stage, his presence steady, his eyes fixed on me with a softness that immediately eased the tension inside me. He gave me a small, reassuring nod, and somehow, that simple gesture calmed the storm within me, even if only for a moment. I
Valeria POVFinally, the day of the mating ceremony arrived, but deep down, my heart felt unsettled. Something was terribly wrong. Sarah wasn’t here. The one person who had promised to stand by me, to prepare me, to make this day perfect… was missing. Instead, I was surrounded by maids, their hands busy with fabrics and jewels, their voices soft and careful, but none of it felt right. They assured me they had sent people to look for her, that she would be found, yet the emptiness in my chest only grew stronger. It felt as though I had lost something important, something I couldn’t replace, and it made it impossible for me to focus on the ceremony ahead.Dressing me took longer than expected. Several times, I broke down in tears, forcing them to stop as my emotions overwhelmed me. The maids tried their best to calm me, whispering reassurances, urging me to continue, reminding me of how important this day was. Still, I struggled. My hands trembled, my breathing uneven, my thoughts con
Xavier POVI sat alone in the dark, the silence in the room pressing down on me like a weight I could not escape. The faint glow from the candle beside me flickered against the walls, casting restless shadows that seemed to move with my thoughts. But even that light felt useless. It could not chase away the darkness that had settled deep inside me. My mind refused to rest, circling back to the same person over and over again Valeria.I clenched my jaw, leaning forward as my fingers tightened against the arm of the chair. Was I truly nothing to her? Not even worth a glance? The thought burned in my chest, sharp and unbearable. She had moved on as if I didn’t exist, as if I had never mattered. Not once had she looked at me the way she looked at him. Not once had she spoken my name with anything close to warmth. And yet, despite everything, I could not let her go.I had wanted her to choose me. Just once. That was all I ever needed. One moment, one look, one word that told me I was not a
Valeria POVI woke up that morning with a deep sense of unease in my heart. Something felt terribly wrong, and I couldn’t explain it. Sarah should have been here with me, yet it had been two days since I last saw her. The longer I stayed without any word from her, the heavier the feeling in my ches
Helen POVI tightened my grip around her neck, applying more pressure, hoping she would finally break hoping she would tell me where she had taken Sarah’s body. But no matter how hard I tried, I could feel her life slowly slipping away beneath my hands. For a brief second, hesitation flickered thro
Helen POVI rushed back to my room, pacing back and forth as cold sweat broke across my forehead. My hands trembled slightly, my breath uneven as panic slowly settled deep inside me. I couldn’t believe I had let my anger get the better of me. I wasn’t even worried about the fact that I had killed S
Helen POVI knew this whole thing had been a gang-up between Valeria and Sarah. Their plan was clear: humiliate me, make me look weak, make me stumble before the gods. But one thing was certain: I would never let that slap go unpunished. Sarah would pay tenfold—for what she had done to me today. Y
