Kelly

My father’s heart attack had left me hollow. There were no words big enough for the terror that had gripped me when I saw him clutching his chest and collapsing in front of everyone. For a moment, the world had stopped. The man who’d tormented me all my life—who’d humiliated me, broken me, made me believe I was worthless—was suddenly fragile, helpless and mortal. And despite everything he’d done to me, the sight of him struggling for breath had torn something open inside me.

    Kelly I turned to him slowly, meeting his eyes dead on. “It wasn’t me. It was Tetra.”The hall went deathly still.For several long seconds, no one spoke.Then Dietrich scoffed, waving his hand dismissively. “Do you have proof of this absurd claim?”I felt like rolling my eyes into next week. “Proof? No. Not yet.” I took a slow breath, letting my voice harden. “But even if I did, it wouldn’t matter, would it? You’ve already decided what I am. You’ve made your judgment long ago.”No one answered.“I don’t expect you to believe me,” I veered on, “not after years of rumors and lies. But I will find proof for the sake of the Pack. Because they deserve to know the truth. They deserve to know that they turned against and have punished an innocent woman for many years.”My throat burned, but I kept going. “And when I do prove it, I want every single one of you to remember this moment—when you called me a liar, a criminal, a failure—and I want you to choke on your shame.”There was another b

    Kelly The echo of Bryan’s screams faded down the corridor, leaving behind a silence that pressed on my chest. The air still trembled with the aftershocks of his fury—and Alaric’s. I could feel it radiating off him like heat, his aura coiled tight around me in a silent promise of protection.But the elders weren’t done. Not yet.Dietrich was the first to break the silence. Of course he was. The old serpent rose slowly, his cane tapping the floor in deliberate rhythm. “Well,” he said, his voice cold and sharp, “that was quite the performance.” His lip curled as his gaze landed on me. “But don’t delude yourself, girl. No matter what the Alpha King declares, the people will never respect you. Not as a woman. Not as a leader. They will see you for what you are—an embarrassment to this Pack.”He leaned forward slightly, sneering. “You can wear the title, but you’ll never wear the crown in their hearts. That belongs to men. It always has.”Each word was a lash, steady and precise, crafted t

    KellyBryan’s face twisted, veins standing out in his neck. “You—how dare you—”“It was Jessica who opened my eyes,” I went on, ignoring him. “We were talking one day, and the topic came up about sex, pleasure and all the things wives never speak about in polite company. And when I told her how it was with you, she looked at me like I’d said something tragic.”My throat tightened at the memory, but I kept going. “She was appalled. She told me it wasn’t normal, that you were a selfish bastard for never even trying to please me. She cussed you out for using me like a toy you could just toss aside when you were done.”Bryan looked around the room, desperate. “Don’t listen to her, she’s making this up! She’s lost her mind!”But I didn’t even glance his way. “At first, I was angry with her,” I reminisced. “I thought she was being cruel, that she didn’t understand. I told myself you were doing your best; that you loved me and that you cared. I was such a fool.”The words came out like a whi

    KellyOut of the corner of my eye, I saw Alaric. His aura had exploded into something thick and suffocating, it was an almost visible darkness that made the air vibrate. The wooden arms of his throne cracked under the force of his grip. His jaw was clenched, and his emerald eyes were burning with fury. For a moment, I thought he might actually lunge across the room and tear all their throats out. And a part of me wanted him to.It would’ve been easier, honestly. Much cleaner.But the last thing I wanted was unnecessary bloodshed. I wouldn't shy away from criticism. Every great leader had faced it at least once.Besides, I didn’t need Alaric to fight for me. Not this time.This was my fight.I swallowed the lump in my throat and stood, my legs steady despite the tremor in my chest. “Enough,” I commanded, my voice calm but firm, demanding respect.Every head turned to me.“I’ve listened to your insults long enough,” I commenced, meeting each elder’s gaze one by one. “You’ve all made it

    KellyMy father’s heart attack had left me hollow. There were no words big enough for the terror that had gripped me when I saw him clutching his chest and collapsing in front of everyone. For a moment, the world had stopped. The man who’d tormented me all my life—who’d humiliated me, broken me, made me believe I was worthless—was suddenly fragile, helpless and mortal. And despite everything he’d done to me, the sight of him struggling for breath had torn something open inside me.I had wanted to hate him. I should have hated him. But seeing him like that... gods, it shattered me.I’d wanted to scream. To fall apart and sob until my lungs gave out. But crying wouldn’t have helped him. So instead, I’d forced my trembling hands to steady, shouted for help, and done everything I could until the professionals came. I wasn't able to do much but it would at least give him a fighting chance.Now that the meeting had resumed, all I could think about was the hospital. I wanted to run there, to

    AlaricFinally, the ambulance arrived. The blaring siren cut through the silence that had fallen after Theodore’s collapse. Two paramedics rushed in with a stretcher, their white uniforms stark against the dark hues of the chamber. They moved quickly, lifting Theodore’s frail, trembling body onto the stretcher and securing the straps. Miranda trailed behind them, still sobbing uncontrollably, her cries echoing long after the doors shut behind her.Kelly made to follow, but Miranda turned mid-stride, her voice shrill and venomous even through tears. “Don’t you dare come to the hospital! Haven’t you done enough already?!”Kelly froze. The pain in her eyes was enough to make even the hardest heart falter, but she didn’t argue. She just stood there, hands clenched at her sides, trembling. I could feel her turmoil through our incomplete bond—the helpless ache, the guilt she didn’t deserve to bear.And as much as I wanted to let her go, she couldn’t. Not yet. This meeting—my announcement—wa
