MasukShe couldn't let Nathan see that truth. She chose to escape."No, Mom... it's not like that... I love him..." she gasped, and then, as if her body could no longer sustain the weight of her lies, she fainted."Mom, did you really have to be so harsh?" Nathan snapped, though the fire in his voice was gone. "She’s already broken!"Mrs. Hill looked at Nathan’s agony. Despite her resentment, he was her own flesh and blood. She turned to Alaric, pleading, "You see it too. Nathan is living like a stray. You are the Alpha of this family—can you really just watch him rot?"Alaric looked at his son, sighed heavily, the sound like a tired beast settling into the earth. "Let's talk about it later."Nathan, disregarding everything else, scooped Victoria up and rushed for medical help. Mrs. Hill and Alaric watched his back, feeling the ache of a pack that was slowly falling apart.In order to bring Nathan back to the upper-class society, Mrs. Hill pressured Alaric, her voice trembling with a desper
Thea leaned against the doorway, a mocking smirk on her lips. "You really are a big infant, Victoria. Still crying for the protection of a toothless wolf."Bill heard Thea’s voice. Suddenly, a look of primal terror washed over his face. His body began to tremble violently under the sheets, his scent spiking with the frantic musk of a cornered prey."She is a devil..." he croaked, his voice a dry rattle. "The devil... She is not Isabella..."He timidly dared not look into Thea’s eyes, sensing the dark, lethal power radiating from her.Nathan stared at Thea with deep skepticism. "What did you do to him? What did you do to break his spirit?"Thea glared at Nathan, her eyes flashing with a cold, Alpha-level disdain. "Have you lost your mind? What could I possibly do to him? He was in a cage; it’s not like I could walk in and snap his bones myself."Then, she added casually, "He probably went mad in the pit. I heard the hierarchy in there is quite... chaotic. Maybe he couldn't handle being
"You actually flirted with your own brother-in-law?" Her lips trembled intensely, her scent sharp with the bitterness of a displaced mate.Thea walked up to her, bent down, and whispered in her ear, her voice a silken purr that carried the lethal chill of a winter hunt. "I learned this from my sister, you know? Wasn't it exactly like this that my sister seduced her own brother-in-law back then? I’m just following the trail you blazed."Victoria's face turned pale. "You..."Thea added, "He didn't reject me, you know. Just like back then when my sister seduced her own brother-in-law, his instincts didn't let him turn away."Victoria suddenly remembered the past—how she had deliberately whispered provocative words to Nathan in front of Thea. Nathan had basked in the attention, while Thea was left bleeding from the heart.Nowadays, the tide has turned. The pack hierarchy has flipped.Victoria was not as humble and understanding as Thea had once been. She immediately made a scene, her voic
Bill's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief and astonishment shining through them. Was it her? Did she really treat him so harshly? The darkened Isabella, for the first time, radiated a cold, predatory shadow that made Bill’s very soul shiver. He realized that he could no longer treat her as the pup he could bully at will.A rain shower came pouring down. The rain washed the streets, making the dusty pavement spotless.Thea stood by the window, overlooking the ground below the tall buildings. Despite the distance, her heightened gaze still accurately locked onto a small figure below. The little girl sat huddled on the flower terrace, wearing a floral-patterned shirt. Thea stared straight at her, tears glistening in her eyes."Kassie," she murmured dreamily, her inner wolf letting out a soft, mournful whine.She suddenly lost control and slowly pushed open the window, her head unconsciously leaning out. The maternal bond, severed by death in another life, was now screaming in her b
Nathan heard for the first time that Bill was suspected of attempted rape. His eyes widened in horror, once again reshaping his perception of Thea. "You're her own father. She actually accused you like this? She ruined you—isn't she afraid of the stain on her own bloodline?"Bill said, "I have also advised her that if I had any political stain, it would affect her and the future children. However, she said she would never get married in her lifetime, let alone have children. She wants to let the Moore line die with her."Nathan stared wide-eyed in terror.Thea's despair for love—her refusal to ever mark a mate or be marked—was the shadow he had cast upon her wolf’s soul. He felt a complicated surge of emotion. On one hand, he hated Thea for hurting the vulnerable Victoria, but on the other, he felt a crushing guilt for being the one who had broken her spirit so thoroughly."So, what happened to Theo?"Bill exclaimed excitedly, his eyes gleaming with a frantic, feral light, "Nathan, th
"Victoria, don't be sad. I will find a way to rescue your dad," Nathan comforted, his voice deepening with a hollow Alpha authority.Victoria shook her head in despair, "It's useless, Nathan. Don't waste your efforts. Thea has Theo backing her up. And now that you are the abandoned child of the Hill pack, you can't compete with a True Alpha like Theo."Nathan was most afraid of being told his claws were blunt. Her words instantly ignited a primal rage in his chest. "Who does Theo think he is? When I was marking my territory on the streets, he hadn't even grown his first coat of fur."Victoria's eyes sparkled, feeding his ego with poisonous praise. "But Nathan, the elders of the Hill pack would not allow you to offend their business partners. If you go against Theo, would they strip you of your rank and exile you from the Group?"Victoria's calculated fragility completely triggered Nathan's protective instincts. He caressed Victoria's head and gritted his teeth, a low growl simmering i
In the werewolf - centered world, where the power dynamics were as fierce as a pack's territorial disputes, Theo’s thin lips curled into a slight smile, the danger in his expression unmistakable, much like a wolf baring its teeth in a show of dominance. "I always thought Thea was an orphan.
In the werewolf - centered world, where family bonds were as tenuous as a lone wolf's hold on its territory, Thea walked upstairs and stood in front of Master Moore. With a solemn expression, she corrected him, "I’ve changed my name. I’m no longer Isabella; my name is Thea. In the wer
In the werewolf - centered world, where the power dynamics and family bonds were as complex as a thick forest at night, Victoria had never seen Nathan so dejected. It was as though the once - proud heir, much like a powerful alpha wolf that had lost its pack, had fallen from the heavens, shattere
In the werewolf - centered world, where the pack's social hierarchy and business rivalries were as complex as a moon - lit forest, Theo couldn't help but chuckle lightly when he saw Victoria. "I thought the designer hired by the heir was some big shot. Turns out it’s your swee
