THE TRUTH THAT SHATTERED THE PRIDE

The entire room went still.

“...Princess? Princess Rhea?”

Alpha Xerxes’s voice struck through the room and the air thickened with shock.

Natalie’s face turned white. Logan’s jaw clenched. Neither of them moved. They couldn't believe their ears.

Did he just call her a princess? her sister?

No. This couldn't be real.

"Is this a joke?!" Natalie snapped, her body stiffening. "Her full name is Rhea Griffith! She’s nothing but a filthy nobody from Crescent Fur Pack! Alpha Xerxes, you’ve been deceived……she’s a lying whore!"

Murmurs filled the air.

Xerxes turned to her slowly, his eyes like a glacier slicing through the air.

“Say that word again,” his voice came low and deadly, “and I will rip your tongue out and make my dogs fight over it.”

Rhea’s stomach twisted, fear gripped her . She knew the look in Xerxes’s eyes too well…..he wasn’t bluffing. He was capable of doing it.

But her being a princess? Natalie refused to accept it. Couldn’t accept it.

    HER FALL, THEIR LAUGHTER Natalie collapsed to the ground, her face twisted with rage as tears streaked down her cheeks. She glared at Rhea with eyes full of venom, but her silent plea for sympathy was met with cold indifference. Not a single soul moved to her aid.Alpha Xerxes and Kiera stood above her, their lips curled into mocking smiles that cut deeper than any blade. Their amusement at her misery was merciless. Alpha Statham did not even spare her a glance, his gaze locked unwaveringly on Rhea as if Natalie had ceased to exist.Hours dragged on like an unending punishment. By the time they reached the Great Waterfall, Natalie’s feet were raw and torn, her skin scraped by the unforgiving ground. Every step had stripped away her pride, yet not even Logan, the man she had clung to so desperately, came to her defense. He walked in silence, powerless, as if her suffering no longer belonged to him to ease.The sound of the falls reached them first, a low, ceaseless murmur that grew lo

    REJECTED, YET DESIRED What was supposed to be a small trip turned into six people walking the same path.Gamma Rhea, Kiera, Alpha Xerxes, Alpha Statham, Logan, and Natalie. The last one arrived just before they left, clinging shamelessly to Logan’s side and insisting she join.Kiera’s jaw tightened the moment she saw her. Fury burned hot under her skin, and she almost spat out her protest, ready to throw both Logan and Natalie off the trip altogether. But Rhea tugged her sleeve in silence, giving the smallest shake of her head, asking her not to speak.“Why are you stopping me?” Kiera whispered harshly, her voice sharp enough to cut. Her glare followed Natalie and Logan like venom. “We should tell them to leave right now.”“Let it go, Kiera,” Rhea answered softly, adjusting the straps of her backpack with calm control. “Alpha Logan is right. The Great Waterfall is open to everyone. I cannot stop them from coming. They are simply walking the same way as us.”Kiera exhaled in frustrati

    BETWEEN TWO ALPHASAlpha Statham gave a short, mocking laugh.“Logan Ashwood, sharp-tongued and bitter as always.”He tilted his head, his eyes shifting past Logan’s shoulder to where Luna Rhea stood. His voice softened, though it carried its own weight of authority. “I appreciate your concern, but I was speaking to Gamma Rhea. Would you excuse us for a moment?”“Do you....”Before Logan could respond, Rhea stepped from behind him, her smile calm. “I would be glad to take you around, Alpha Statham. The weather should be clear tomorrow. Shall we visit the Great Waterfall at six thirty in the morning?”“Perfect.” His face lit up with delight.Logan’s jaw clenched as his expression twisted in fury. He reached out suddenly, his hand gripping Rhea’s shoulder, spinning her to face him. His voice cracked through the hall, raw and venomous.“Are you completely out of your mind? Do you even know who this man is? He is nothing but a woman-chaser. He will shatter your heart without blinking. Do

    ALPHA'S REGRETWEDDING? The word wedding struck Luna Rhea like a blade to the chest. For a moment her thoughts scattered, hollow and blank. Then reality pressed down on her. She remembered her own so-called union with Logan. No, there had never been a wedding at all. When their mate bond had been discovered, the Griffiths had sent her away like a parcel, delivered to Logan’s palace without ceremony, without vows, without even a token of honor. She had been placed in the Luna’s chambers, and that was the end of it. No celebration. No gown. No ring. Not even a whisper of belonging.Now, Natalie would have everything she was denied, the grand celebration, the crown of Luna, the devotion of the man Rhea once believed was hers.“Killian!” Logan’s voice cracked through the air, sharp and furious. “You have crossed the line!”“Alpha…” Killian started.Rhea’s calm voice sliced in before he could finish. “No, it is fine.” She turned her gaze on Logan, steady and unreadable, yet so piercing t

    TENSION IN THE CHAMBERThe sound of a punch cracked to the air as Alpha Xerxes slammed his fist into Logan’s jaw, sending him stumbling sideways. Rage poured from him, his teeth clenched, his voice came out sharp with rage. “Watch your filthy tongue,” Xerxes growled, his eyes blazing with fury. “ I do not care if you are an Alpha. If you insult my sister again, I will have your head rolling on the ground." Logan straightened slowly, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes gleamed with an icy fire. His lips curled into a bitter laugh.“Kill me? You really think you can?” His voice was cutting, drenched with contempt, daring Xerxes to try.“Enough. Both of you.”Rhea stepped between them. Her hand rested lightly on Xerxes’ tense shoulder, coaxing him back with a calming touch before she turned to face Logan. The faintest smile tugged at her lips, not of warmth but of sharp mockery.“You tested my strength yourself,” she said, her voice cool, steady. “I earned my pl

    GRIP OF JEALOUSY The clash inside the ring dragged on, breath after breath, neither side giving way. Every strike carried heat, every counter left the crowd holding theirs.By the edge, Jordan squinted at the fight, unease written across his face. He leaned closer to Alpha Xerxes and muttered, “Is it just me, or do they look like they’re flirting… enjoying this too much?”Xerxes’s jaw tightened. His glare sliced toward him. “Shut your mouth.”Minutes ticked by. The tie held.Rhea’s chest burned, each breath sharper than the last. She was strong, but Logan’s body was built like steel. She could not outlast him. She needed to end this, and fast.Her fists struck harder, faster, her focus narrowing on offense alone. She left herself open.Logan saw it. His fist slammed into her shoulder, throwing her backward with brutal force.“Rhea!”Xerxes’s voice broke through the noise as he leapt into the ring. He caught her before she could fall again, his arm wrapping around her protectively. “A
