“I’ll be right back,” I told him, standing up. “I just need to check on my father.”

He nodded without question, probably assuming it was routine concern. But deep down, my stomach had already begun to twist itself into knots.

When I’d seen Miranda and Tetra together at the palace earlier—Tetra kneeling beside her while Miranda begged Alaric for mercy—I’d wondered why they’d both left Father alone. The thought had bothered me more than I wanted to admit. For all his faults, Theodore had j

    Kelly I wiped at my cheeks, smearing the tears that refused to stop. My throat still burned from holding back sobs, but I forced myself to inhale deeply and compose the woman standing before him—not the trembling daughter, not the wounded child, but the Alpha.Straightening my back, I met his weary gaze. “As Alpha,” I began, keeping my tone as even as I could, “it’s my duty to care for my subjects and look out for everyone in the Pack. That includes you, Father. Despite everything that’s happened, I still have a responsibility to make sure you’re alright.”His eyes shimmered again, as if those words struck something deep inside him. But before he could speak, I continued, the emotion cracking slightly through my voice. “But that doesn’t mean I can forgive you. I don't think I'll ever be able to find it in me to forgive you, Miranda and Tetra for everything you’ve done to me. I may look after your well-being as Alpha, but as your daughter…” I hesitated, feeling my chest tighten. “…I c

    Kelly Steeling myself, I turned around to face my father. My heart thudded hard in my chest as I met his eyes—eyes that once looked at me like I was something foul, a mistake that had no place in his world. Now, they looked… tired. Not cruel or sharp, just old, weary, and dull with regret.I forced myself to sound steady. “Do you need something?” I asked quietly, keeping my distance by the door. “Just wait, I’ll call the nurse.”His hand twitched weakly above the blanket. “No, that’s not it,” he said, his voice rasping, fragile. “Please stay. I want to talk to you.”For a second, I thought I had misheard him. I blinked, sure my mind was playing tricks. Theodore Redmond never asked me to stay. He never wanted me near him. But there it was—a plea in his voice so soft, it cracked something deep inside me.I didn’t move right away. My instincts screamed for caution. Still, after a moment, I stepped closer, slow and wary, until I was standing near the foot of his bed. I said nothing, wait

    Kelly “I’ll be right back,” I told him, standing up. “I just need to check on my father.”He nodded without question, probably assuming it was routine concern. But deep down, my stomach had already begun to twist itself into knots.When I’d seen Miranda and Tetra together at the palace earlier—Tetra kneeling beside her while Miranda begged Alaric for mercy—I’d wondered why they’d both left Father alone. The thought had bothered me more than I wanted to admit. For all his faults, Theodore had just survived a heart attack. Even if it was a mild one, leaving him unattended seemed cruel. I could only hope they’d left a nurse to watch over him.The hallway felt cold as I made my way toward his room. Each step echoed faintly against the polished floor tiles, and with every echo, my pulse quickened.I stopped right before the door, my hand hovering near the handle. I hesitated. What was I even doing? This man had never shown me kindness—never once treated me like his daughter. The only thin

    Kelly Though the Garvey case had been concluded peacefully—thank the goddess—there was another pressing matter at hand that I couldn’t ignore. James had gotten punched square in the jaw while trying to separate the fight, and now one side of his face was swollen like dough thrown into hot oil. The sight of it made me wince every time I glanced his way.Despite his insistence that he was fine, I couldn’t let him just shrug it off. The swelling was bad enough that he could barely open his mouth properly. So, ignoring his protests, I snatched the car keys from him and decided I’d be the one to drive him to the hospital.James had groaned when I told him to get in the passenger seat.“Alpha, come on. I’m fine. I can drive us back to the Palace myself,” he’d said, stubborn as ever, his voice slightly slurred from the pain.“Not a chance,” I’d shot back, slipping into the driver’s seat and starting the engine. “You’re sitting this one out. Consider it an order.”He’d rolled his eyes but ob

    Kelly Did it mean preserving the estate itself—the physical legacy? If so, Thomas had done that. He stayed behind, cared for his father, and maintained the property.But perhaps it meant continuing the Garvey bloodline’s success—expanding their reach, ensuring the name lived on beyond their land. That was what Elias had done.No. That couldn’t be it. If it were that simple, Garvey would’ve just chosen one of them outright. He’d wanted them to learn something. Maybe… maybe the estate wasn’t meant to divide them but to unite them.I considered several options, weighing each in my mind.First, I could split the property in half—give each brother a portion of the estate. But that would only deepen the division, create a visible scar in what once stood as a symbol of unity. Their father would never have wanted his home broken like that.Second, I could sell it and divide the money. But the thought made my chest ache. This house wasn’t just a building—it was the heart of the Garvey lineage

    Kelly The courtyard was still and tense after the command left my lips. The Garvey brothers stood exactly three meters apart, their chests heaving as they glared at one another but dared not move. The silence that followed was thick and fragile, like glass that could shatter at the faintest wrong word.I drew in a shaky breath, forcing my heartbeat to slow. The power that had surged through me moments ago still pulsed faintly beneath my skin, humming like embers in my veins. My first Alpha command… and it had worked. The realization filled me with equal parts awe and disbelief, but I didn’t have time to dwell on it. Right now, there were bigger matters at hand.“Thomas. Elias.” I stepped forward, my voice steadier now, though emotion still trembled beneath it. “You’ll both speak to me. Now. One at a time.”The crowd around us—neighbors, pack members, even a few elderly people—shifted uneasily but didn’t interrupt. They were watching closely, weighing me, testing whether I was worthy

    AlaricI had seen blood-soaked battlefields, men screaming as teeth and claws tore out their innards. I had stood knee-deep in death and never once faltered. But the moment I rushed to the bed and saw her—my mate—bound like an animal, unconscious, with her wrists raw from the rope, panic unlike any

    AlaricThat’s when the crocodile tears began. Big, glistening drops rolling down cheeks smothered in goddess knows how many layers of foundation. Her voice turned dramatic, laced with trembling sobs that didn’t reach her eyes.“Kelly… She’s not who you think she is, Your Highness,” she started, clu

    KellyWhen he stormed out of the room with the doctor, I could only stare after him—after my savior—and wonder what would become of Tetra. He had looked furious, the kind of fury that could crumble worlds. Not that I cared what happened to her, not in the slightest. The bitch had done so much to me

    AlaricTiny cuts stung my shoulders and arms, but I didn’t care. I stayed there, hunched protectively over her, until the last of the shards hit the floor.Outside, I could hear the thud of paws against earth, fading quickly but unevenly. The wolf was injured. Good. He wouldn’t get far.I straighte
