Chapter 15

Author: Miss Sunny
Ava's POV

The silence in the car was heavy, but not uncomfortable. It was the silence of a calm before a storm.

I stared out the tinted window as the familiar, depressing tree line of Bloodmoon territory blurred past.

My stomach twisted. Not with fear, but with a cold, simmering rage.

I had given this pack everything. My sweat, my tears, my wolf's dormancy. And they had repaid me with humiliation.

"You're clenching your jaw," Kaelen's voice cut through my thoughts.

I looked over. He was driving

    Ava's POVThe drive back to the Bloodmoon Pack was silent. Cole drove, his knuckles white on the steering wheel, glancing at me every thirty seconds as if checking to make sure I hadn't evaporated.I stared out the window, texting Kaelen.[Kaelen: I'm burning the border patrol schedule. If he touches you, I'm invading.] [Me: Down, boy. He's not a threat. He's a ghost.]We arrived at the Pack House. It looked smaller than I remembered. Grayer."I moved Lexi's things out," Cole said eagerly as he opened the front door. "I burned the sheets. I bought new furniture. The Alpha Suite... it's yours again."I stepped inside. The air still smelled faintly of Lexi's cloying rose perfume, masked by the chemical sting of cleaning supplies."I'm not sleeping in the Alpha Suite," I said calmly. "I'll take the guest room down the hall."Cole's face fell. "But... you're my Luna. You belong with me.""I am a hostage, Cole," I corrected, walking past him. "Hostages don't share beds with their captors. W

    Cole's POVI sat in my office-the one Ava used to organize, now a chaotic mess-reading the file Chase had just slapped onto my desk.[Subject: Ava Ashford // Treatment Log]Financials: 90% of her mother's inheritance was funneled into Gordon's accounts. Ava was given a monthly allowance of $50.Living Conditions: Moved to the servant's quarters in 2023 to make room for Lexi's "walk-in closet."Work Log: Managed Pack Logistics, Payroll, and Event Planning. Unpaid. 60 hours/week.I threw the file across the room. It hit the wall and scattered, papers fluttering down like white feathers."I didn't know," I whispered."You didn't want to know," Chase said from the doorway. He didn't look like my Beta anymore. He looked like a man judging a fool."Where is she?" I asked, my voice ragged."The Royal Palace," Chase said. "The Coronation Ceremony is tomorrow. She is being crowned Luna Queen."Tomorrow.I stood up. "Get the car.""Cole, don't," Chase warned. "She belongs to the King now.""She

    Cole's POVThe evidence was screaming at me from the holographic screen. Lexi's hand on the IV line. Her intent to murder.I dragged her into the Pack Office, throwing her onto the leather sofa."Jasper, baby, please!" Lexi sobbed, mascara running down her face like black tears. "It's a misunderstanding! The camera angles are tricky! Ava edited it!""Don't lie to me!" I roared, the sound vibrating off the walls. "I saw you! You tried to kill my father to protect my position? Or to protect your own?""I did it for us!" She crawled toward me, grabbing my leg. "The Elders were going to vote you out! I just wanted you to be Alpha so we could be happy!""Happy?" I kicked her hand away. "You think murder makes me happy?"Lexi's face crumpled. She realized the "innocent victim" act wasn't working. Her eyes darted around the room, landing on the scented candles on the side table-our "romantic" candles.She stood up, wiping her face, trying to switch tactics to seduction. She grabbed a lighter.

    Cole's POVMy world stopped.I stared at the scene before me.Lexi-my "savior," my "love"-was standing over my dying father's bed, her hand gripping his life support line.Ava was standing in the doorway, her phone raised, recording everything."What are you doing?" I whispered, my voice trembling.Lexi snatched her hand back like she'd been burned. "I... I was just checking the line! It looked loose! I was fixing it!""Liar," Ava said. Her voice was calm. Brutal. "I set a trap, Cole. I knew someone would try to finish the job once I stabilized him. So we circled back."She played the video on her phone.On the screen, Lexi crept into the room. She looked around guiltily. She muttered, "If he recovers, I'm finished." And then she reached for the IV.It was undeniable."You..." I looked at Lexi, nausea rising in my throat. "You tried to kill him?""No! Jasper, please!" Lexi threw herself at my feet, sobbing. "I did it for us! He was in the way! The Elders were going to vote you out beca

    Ava's POVThe Pack House smelled of stale air and sickness.We walked through the corridors I knew by heart, but everything felt different. The portraits on the walls were crooked. Dust bunnies danced in the corners.Cole led us to the Alpha's Suite.Inside, Alpha Vance lay on the massive bed. He looked like a skeleton wrapped in skin. His breathing was shallow, a death rattle in his chest."He's been like this for three days," Cole said, his voice losing its edge, sounding scared. "Our healers say his organs are shutting down. They don't know why."I stepped up to the bed, snapping on a pair of latex gloves."Clear the room," I ordered."What?" Lexi squeaked. "No! I'm not leaving him alone with you! You might kill him!"I turned to her. "Lexi, get out. Or I'll have Security remove you."Kaelen took a step toward her. Lexi yelped and scrambled into the hallway."I'm staying," Cole said stubbornly."Fine," I said. "But stay quiet."I placed my hands on Vance's chest.[Nyx. Scan.]My wol

He was driving with effortless grace, his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses, but I could feel his gaze on me."I'm just... preparing," I said."For what?""For the lies. The gaslighting. The way Cole looks at me like I'm a broken toy he threw away."Kaelen reached over, his large hand covering mine on the center console. His skin was warm, grounding."Let him look," Kaelen said, his voice low and dangerous. "Because today, he won't see the girl he broke. He will see the Queen he lost."He squeezed my hand. "A
