로그인Mary povThe air was thick with tension as we walked, so heavy that no one dared to speak. Even without knowing exactly what was about to happen, it was as though everyone could sense it—feel that something was waiting for us at the end of that hallway, something connected to the woman we were about to check on.Soon, we reached the hallway upstairs. Our footsteps gradually slowed as the conversations from the ballroom faded into silence, until finally, we stopped in front of the room. Everyone gathered outside the door, their expressions tense and expectant. My eyes immediately swept across the hallway, searching for the maid.She was nowhere to be seen.Good.It was exactly as planned.I had told her to leave the moment she finished her task and go directly to my personal attendant, Dorothy. That was where she would receive the payment she had been promised.Of course, if she reached Dorothy, she and her family would not have much time left afterward. They would all die, leaving no
Mary povThis was it.Yes.This was finally happening.Everything was unfolding exactly according to the plan.This was the moment when the maid would come rushing back into the ballroom and announce that Delilah wasn't feeling well, that something was wrong, that everyone needed to come upstairs and check on her and then...They would see it.They would see the scene waiting for them and if the maid was here, it meant everything had gone perfectly. The plan to get Delilah into that room had succeeded."Luna..." The maid's trembling voice pulled me back. "Miss Delilah, she..."She stopped, her head lowered as her body shook slightly. The entire ballroom stared at her, I could feel the anticipation spreading through the room.Slowly, I turned toward her, forcing concern onto my face while keeping the excitement buried deep inside."What is wrong?" My voice was gentle, worried. "What happened to Miss Delilah?"I tilted my head slightly."Speak."I forced myself to remain calm, even as m
James povThis was the first time.The first time I had ever done this. The first time I had ever gone back on my own decision. The first time I had ever stayed somewhere I had already decided was a waste of my time. And most importantly... the first time I had ever wasted my precious time on something completely unnecessary.My expression remained cold. My aura remained sharp. My lips were pulled into a faint frown as I stared at the man standing before me. A man who, by every standard, should not have been sitting in the position of an Alpha.My gaze moved over Ethan. The forced smile, the nervous expression, the way his mouth kept moving as he desperately tried to convince me of something. I couldn't even hear him anymore. My mind had already filtered out his words as unimportant, useless information.Exactly the kind of thing I had spent my entire life avoiding.Ethan Blackthorn was everything I disliked in a leader, irresponsible, emotional, too dependent on others. A man who w
Mary povFuck. Fuck. Fuck.The anger inside me burned so violently that for a moment, all I could think about was tearing him apart.I wanted to kill him.I wanted to watch that arrogant smile disappear from his face. I wanted him to kneel before me and take back every single word he had spoken because those words...Those disgusting, humiliating words. They kept replaying inside my head.The way he had looked at me.The way he had called Eleanor better than me.Eleanor.The wolfless girl everyone had pitied. The woman who had always been placed above me despite having nothing.My hands clenched tightly by my sides, my nails digging into my palms as I forced myself to keep the smile on my face. My chest rose and fell heavily as I listened to Ethan attempt to speak with James, but James looked as if he wasn't hearing a single word.His eyes were on her.On that bitch.Delilah.And my own eyes remained fixed on Alexander. The bastard stood there, completely relaxed, staring at the same
Eleanor PovThe doors opened, and one by one, maids dressed in uniform entered the ballroom, carrying silver trays filled with wine glasses. They moved through the crowd, stopping at every guest.My eyes shifted toward the maid standing beside me, her head was lowered, too lowered, as if she was hiding something. I watched her hands. The fingers gripping the tray, the slight trembling and a smile slowly touched my lips.I reached out and took the glass.Mary's voice echoed through the ballroom. "This is Lupine Red Wine." She lifted her own glass of water, unable to drink because of the child. "It is a rare wine, and tonight, I want to raise a toast to my late sister."Her smile remained gentle."My sister lived a fulfilling life serving this pack." She raised the glass higher. "And I hope she is happy in heaven with her son, my niece who died an untimely death, Caleb Blackthorn ."The moment she mentioned him, my fingers tightened around the glass.Caleb.My Caleb.The same child whos
Eleanor povThe soft melody drifted through the air, soothing and gentle. It was a song dedicated to the Moon Goddess, a tribute to her creation.It was peaceful.A complete contrast to the tension hanging over the ballroom.The awkward silence between conversations. The forced smiles. The uncomfortable atmosphere created by an Alpha desperately trying to convince a man who had already made up his mind not to work with him and in the middle of it all...I stood there.A smile curved on my lips, my eyes narrowed slightly in amusement as I slowly swirled the wine in my glass. I didn't care about the whispers surrounding me. I didn't care about the curious stares or the judgment hidden behind polite expressions.I simply enjoyed the music.My eyes flickered toward Alexander standing beside me. A smirk was already etched across his face, he wasn't even pretending to hide his amusement.His gray eyes shone with the excitement of someone watching a show he had been waiting for all night, al
Fear gripped them both at once.“Ah! Ethan, help!” Mary screamed, her voice sharp with panic.“W-what are you doing?! Let us go! Let us go! Do you know who I am? I am the Alpha of the Bloodthorn Pack!” Ethan roared, his face pale with fury and fear.But the men only chuckled, completely unbothered
If someone ever asked your husband to choose between your life and his mistress’s… would he choose you?No—let me rephrase that. How would you feel if your husband, the man you had stood beside all your life, the man you had protected since the moment he became the Alpha of one of the strongest pac
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot. It was a scripture written in the goddess’s holy book..It meant taking from someone exactly what they had taken from you. If they took your eye, you took theirs. If they took your tooth, you took theirs. If they took yo
“Caleb… Caleb, wake up! Mommy is here, Mommy is here, please wake up!"“You killed your son! If you had been there taking care of him, he wouldn’t have died that way! It’s all your fault!”“Caleb fell down the stairs because of you. What kind of mother doesn’t look after her son? You’re always sayi
