LOGINValeria POVI walked back to my chambers, knowing I had already accomplished what I wanted. Just as I stepped in, one of the maids rushed toward me with a letter in her hand. She handed it over, and I paused for a moment, not expecting any message from anyone. Still, curiosity got the better of me.I opened it and it was from Sebastian, My heart swelled with joy. I took a deep breath and read through every word carefully, my smile growing with each line. When I reached the end, I wished it hadn’t ended so soon.Turning to the maid, I gently held her hand. “Prepare the best feast. Our Alpha returns tomorrow. Inform everyone and make sure the entire place is spotless.”She nodded quickly and rushed off.I hurried into my chambers where Sarah was still busy sewing a small dress. “Put that aside, Sarah. Alpha Sebastian will be here soon,” I said, unable to hide my excitement.She looked up at me, a knowing smile spreading across her face. Then she lifted the dress. “I know you can’t hide y
Helen’s POVThey dragged me back to the dungeon, my feet scraping helplessly against the ground as I struggled, as I screamed, as I begged Valeria to listen to me just once, just enough to forgive me but she never answered. Not a word. Not even a glance. And in that silence, something inside me finally shattered. If I had known it would end like this, I would have done everything differently. I wouldn’t have listened to my mother. I wouldn’t have let my envy consume me. I wouldn’t have destroyed everything.The guards shoved me inside, and I fell hard onto the cold stone floor, the chill cutting through my skin as if it wanted to claim me too. I dragged myself weakly toward the corner, curling into myself as the tears refused to stop. “It was all my fault…” I whispered, my voice barely audible, trembling as much as my hands. “I shouldn’t have been so petty… I shouldn’t have wanted everything she had… I shouldn’t have tried to take her place…” But no matter how many times I said it, n
Valeria’s POVIt had been three days since Sebastian left for war, and each passing moment felt heavier than the last. I spent every hour in restless anticipation, whispering silent prayers to the Moon Goddess, begging her to grant him victory and return him safely to me. That was all I wanted, nothing more, nothing less. The mansion felt emptier without him, and even though my uncle had been given a place within the Pack Mansion, I refused to confront him yet. Whatever truth he carried, Sebastian deserved to hear it with me. Until then, I would wait… no matter how long it took.Sarah was healing, and that alone brought me a small measure of relief. The wound on her head had begun to close, the color slowly returning to her face, but even that couldn’t quiet the storm inside me. Because there was still one thing left unfinished, Helen. Marking her as a slave hadn’t been enough. Not even close. The pain she caused me still lingered, raw and unhealed, and I wanted her to feel every fra
Alpha 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
Valeria POVThe night felt strangely blissful. I had never imagined I would feel this way, so calm, so fulfilled. For once, everything seemed to fall into place, and all I wanted was for this moment to last forever, slowly, I turned my gaze toward Sebastian. He was in a deep sleep, his breathing st
Valerie POV He kissed my lips, gliding his tongue in my mouth passionately. I moaned, sucking his tongue and earning a groan from him. My hand slid up his back and caressed his skin softly. I ran my fingers up his spine, sinking my nails into his back as I kissed him ferociously. He lowered his li
Valerie POVIt had been days of peace, something I was not used to, and for once I allowed myself to breathe without constantly thinking about everything that had happened. Just as he said he would do, Alpha Sebastian made sure everything was taken care of, and immediately the physician confirmed t
Helen POVAll arrangements had been carefully made. If Valeria thought she was smarter by placing everything on my mother, thinking she could outplay me so easily, then I was going to teach her a lesson she would never forget for the rest of her life. But before anything else, I had to see my mothe
