LOGIN[Vada] Lucian Enzo sat beside me in the back seat while the head warrior of the Thornfell Pack drove in silence. Every so often, his gaze darted to the rearview mirror, carefully watching the two of us. With the Blackwood Pack’s heir riding in his vehicle, his vigilance never wavered. I shifted uneasily against the leather seat. Only then did everything that had happened earlier come rushing back to me. *** I had returned to the Blackwood Pack to check on Kira, only to learn that she had unexpectedly left the manor and returned to Thornfell territory. That was when Lucian had asked me into their tea room to talk, and conflicting emotions had overwhelmed me the moment I stepped inside. “You already know what’s happening between our packs,” Lucian began. “Your Alpha and mine intend to go through with the marriage, to honor whatever agreement exists between the Blackwood Pack and the Hollow Pack.” I already knew. My biological father, Alpha Conrad, had explained it all to me, a
[Kira] According to Kaelen, his cousin was now in full control of the territory. Something unexpected was happening at his packhouse. Inside the vehicle, neither Kaelen nor the head warrior could keep still. The tension was suffocating. “Grandfather suddenly threw his full support to Sirius. Then, just the other day, even the Beta’s father cast his vote for him,” Kaelen said, still struggling to believe it himself. “What?” the head warrior exclaimed, his hands tightening around the steering wheel. “I can understand the former Alpha siding with Sirius because of their bloodline history, but the Gamma?” Kaelen’s jaw locked. Even without our mate bond, anyone could have sensed the fury simmering beneath his calm exterior. I was just as stunned. “And all of this happened while I was in a coma?” Kaelen gave a grim nod. “How did no one report any of this to us sooner?” the head warrior growled. “They struck when I was at my weakest... and while Kira was fighting for her life.” Kael
To frame Kira for poisoning the pups, they lured the omega into a trap. But the plan backfired; it was his own carelessness that got him caught. Security around the jailhouse had been tightened after the incident, leaving Rora restless. She knew Kaelen’s mate would once again point the finger at her, so she decided to exploit the beta’s feelings for her. The beta had long been in love with Rora. Blinded by his affection, he believed every word she said. “Beta, you know me. I made one mistake, but I would never do any of the things Alpha Kaelen and his mate are accusing me of! And now even a member of the Thornfell Pack is paying the price,” Rora said, trembling with practiced sorrow. She pressed on. “He’s locked up because he believed I should have been the one to marry Kaelen. I can’t stop thinking about him, and my conscience won’t let me rest. And... do you know he’s been poisoned?” The beta could hardly believe what he was hearing. “We have to help him,” Rora pleaded. “He als
Sirius stood silently in one corner of the room with Kaelen’s two aunts as the healers examined the elder Cross. “What happened? Father wouldn’t just lose consciousness like this,” one of the aunts asked, directing the question at Sirius, edged with suspicion. Sirius met her stare without a trace of emotion. He offered no explanation. Instead, he focused on the subtle warning he had already given the healers. The two healers exchanged a glance before administering the medicine to the Elder Cross lying on the bed. Mixed into the potion was Nightshade Moss, just enough to force even a powerful werewolf into a deep, unnatural sleep. Sirius had arranged every detail long before putting his plan into motion. One of the healers gave his report. “The former Alpha has suffered multiple poisonings over the years. Those incidents have caused lasting damage to his body, and we can still detect lingering toxins in his system.” “Whether he regains his strength will depend on how his body re
Zev shot to his feet. “What?” “You killed my wolf spirit, Zev.” “N-No…” He staggered back, shaking his head violently. “I would never do that, Kira. I love you!” “Whatever you feel for me isn’t love. Love doesn’t destroy the person it claims to cherish.” I held his gaze without flinching. “Please… forget about me. After everything you’ve done, that’s the only kindness you have left to give me. If we ever meet again… I’ll pretend I never knew you.” I turned my back on him and walked toward the cell door without looking back. “No, Kira! Kira!” His desperate cries echoed through the jail, growing fainter with every step I took. But no matter how many times he called my name, I never looked back. The moment I stepped out of the jailhouse, Kaelen rushed over to me, his face etched with worry. “Kira, we can’t stay here any longer,” he said, his voice tight with urgency. “Something happened to my grandfather, and my pack and my business are in chaos.” *** In Thornfell Territory,
Kaelen looked deeply into my eyes. “I think the Moon Goddess had her reasons for binding us as mates.” His fingers brushed gently over my cheek. “While you were away, you were all I could think about.” My cheeks flushed a deep crimson. “I couldn’t sleep because I kept wondering how you were while I was away,” he confessed. “This is the first time in three days that I’ve come back to this room.” His voice was hoarse, worn thin from nights without rest. His lips met mine, and I felt the warmth of his breath, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, and the quiet affection behind every gentle touch. My relationship with Kaelen isn’t perfect. Neither was what I had with Zev. But they’re nothing alike. With Kaelen, I feel safe; he understands me just as deeply as I understand him, and that difference changes everything. “K-Kaelen… my wound,” I whispered, suddenly remembering Amanda was still somewhere nearby. “I’m sorry.” His expression immediately softened with guilt as he glanced at my

Thirty seconds passed before I finally reacted, my eyes scanning the crowded room as if searching for an exit that didn’t exist. It was only my second day at school, and the last thing I needed was to be branded as a delusional she-wolf before I’d even learned anyone’s name. Then a flash of red lig
“I’m Amanda. I already met Kira last night,” said the woman who had seemed worried earlier. She had short hair, a slim figure, and an innocent face. From the way she looked, I guessed she was around twenty. “So, you must be Kira?” Vada said, turning to the other girl. “Yes!” she answered brightly.
