«ADRIAN POV»

The pack witch turns to the elders, addressing them like I’m not even in the room.

“I ask you all,” she continues, “how long will we let this calamity destroy us while we wait for an Alpha who refuses to act?”

Whispers erupt around the room.

Some of the council members nod in agreement. Others hesitate, their gazes glancing toward me.

She stands and takes a step forward. “Our packs are suffering, just like the rest of the other packs too. Our people are dying. Yet our Alpha,” she pauses, her lips curling, “hesitates.”

I clench my fists.

She turns to face me directly, her eyes filled with false concern.

“This is not an easy decision, Adrian, I understand that,” she says, her voice low but loud enough for everyone to hear. “But an Alpha must make sacrifices for the good of his pack.”

I stare at her silently, but deep inside, I know what she’s doing.

She wants me to crumble.

To break.

To give in and accept Clara’s death as the only way to keep my title

    A faint smirk appears on the side of my mouth as I drum my fingers playfully on the table while watching them display their foolishness. “Come on, Adrian,” Ryan quickly walks back to my side, speaking with urgency. “For goddess fuckin’ sake, say something,” he mutters through gritted teeth, his voice tight with anger. However, I remain quiet, my cold eyes calculating as I observe the council while they drown in their own feat. I let the weight of the moment sink in. I look intently at Uncle Marcus, then at Andromeda, then at the elders who have stood by my side for years… And now? They have all turned their backs on me, and I immediately feel something churn inside me… Something that makes me question everything. The prophecy. Clara. Is it even real, or have I been played all along? Is Clara really the curse, or is the real curse sitting right in front of me? A slow, bitter realization settles deep in my bones. I have been lied to, and that has made me betray my mate.

    «ADRIAN POV»The court meeting is over. The Alphas have returned to their packs, and the council of elders has left, but their words still echo in my head. They want Clara dead. I step out of the courtroom, taking a deep breath as the cool evening breeze hits my face. My feet carry me toward the village town, away from the suffocating weight of politics and betrayals. As I look around my pack, I see the destruction spreading. The once-thriving land looks cursed. Burnt patches of earth stretch across the territory. Houses are cracking, falling apart. The air smells of smoke and decay. The people pause when they see me, and I feel their cold stares. Some talk among themselves. Others turn away, as if my presence disgusts them. I know why. Someone has told them about my decision in the courtroom. Someone has twisted the truth, making me look weak, like a traitor to my pack. Making it seem like I’m not concerned about their well-being. My suspicion leads to Andromeda and M

    «THIRD POV»Marcus strides into his Andromeda home, the weight of his discussion with his nephew still hanging over him. As he closes the door behind him, his eyes land on Andromeda. She sits comfortably on his bed, one leg crossed over the other, her black robe draping loosely around her shoulders. In one hand, she holds a glass of dark red wine, swirling it lazily, while a young pack maid stands behind her, massaging her shoulders with extreme care. Gone is the gentle smile she once wore. Now, her eyes glimmer with sly amusement. The moment she sees Marcus, she raises a single finger, “Leave now!” The maid bows and immediately scurries away, disappearing through the door without another word. She sighs, stretching her arms before speaking. “How did it go?” she asks, her voice adulterated with amusement. Marcus walks toward the window, smirking as he stares at the sun setting. “It won’t take long,” he says confidently. “Adrian will give in.” The pack witch giggles, a

    >But Marcus quickly regained his composure, lifting his head with an air of superiority. He has no time for these women’s games.With a dismissive smirk, he leans in slightly, lowering his voice just enough for only Tiara and Ophelia to hear."You should worry more about your daughter, Tiara,” he murmurs in a low voice. "Because once I am Alpha, I won’t tolerate… dead weight." Marcus’s gaze hovers over Ophelia, and his eyes grow dark with lust.Ophelia’s heart slams against her ribs.Marcus pulls away, grinning foxily at the way Ophelia visibly stiffens.Satisfied, he turns and walks away with prideful strides, leaving Tiara and Ophelia standing frozen in the corridor.Ophelia feels her stomach churn. Her skin crawls under his stare, and she grits her teeth to stop herself from shuddering.The moment he’s gone, she lets out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.“That man is disgusting,” she mutters, wiping her hands against her dress as if trying to rid hersel

I think I am protecting her.Magnus and I agree; we won’t let anyone touch our mate.But fuck, deep down, I miss her.I miss the way she looks at me when I embrace her in my arms.

    «Adrian POV»Three long hours. It takes three exhausting hours to get to the rogue pack. Every mile feels like it stretches longer than the last, the urgency in me building with each passing second. But it’s not just the time that makes it feel like I’m running out of air—it’s the fear. The fear of arriving too late, the fear of failing, and the fear of never seeing Clara again, of seeing the one person who means more to me than anything.When I finally reach the rogue border, I can see the rogue patrolling guards standing like statues, their eyes sharp and their weapons ready. The moment they see my car, their eyes harden suddenly turned into terror. They know who I am—the Alpha of the Dark Howl pack. Alphas of all Alphas. King of all Wolves. They know what I’m capable of. And yet, they still don’t open the gate. They stand their ground, watching me with suspicion and distrust. I cut my engine before stepping out of the car, my towering figure filling everywhere as my boots

    «CLARA POV»The room was warm, the air filled with the dull crackle of the fireplace as Lusaka and Ravenna played chess in the corner. I sat curled up on the couch, wrapped in a thick blanket, pretending to listen as they discussed the latest pack affairs. I wasn't really paying attention. My mind was elsewhere— him. Adrian. After the battle in the Dark Howl pack with him, I returned to the rogue pack where I secretly put to birth. It's been days now and I had told Lusaka and everyone else that I needed time to recover, that I wasn’t feeling well. A white little lie. Only Brandon knew the truth. I had just given birth. And now, the guilt was eating me alive. My son. My baby. I had left him in the orphanage, far away from here, away from Adrian, away from everything that could tie me to my past with him. But every night, I thought about my baby. Every night, I fought the urge to go back, to hold him in my arms just once more. But I couldn’t. Lusaka was my husband. Th

    «CLARA POV»My heart twists as I stand there, facing Adrian. It doesn’t matter how much time has passed or how much I have tried to move forward. But seeing him, here in front of me, still does something to me. And now, with the way he looks at me, the way his eyes cloud over with something unspoken, I feel myself drowning in emotions I don’t want to feel. I have built something strong with the rogues. I have made a home among them, created an empire that no one can take away from me. But my heart? It is still shattered, broken into too many pieces to ever be put back together. My bond with Adrian is a constant reminder of what I have lost in the past. And now, as I stand with Lusaka, I can see it. The jealousy in Adrian’s lustrous eyes. The way his perfect jawline tenses, how he clenches his fists at his sides. He tries to hide it, but I know him too well. He doesn’t like seeing me with Lusaka. I can feel Lusaka’s warmth beside me, his protective arm around my waist. But

    «THIRD POV»"Adrian, wait!” That was Clara’s voice, speaking to Adrian’s wolf. However, Magnus was already blinded by resentment, so much all he yearned for was to get his revenge on Marcus Wolf! Meanwhile, Marcus lay flat on the ground outside the hall, bleeding and barely breathing. His once-proud wolf form now looked weak, trembling and broken. Blood soaked into the dirt beneath him, and his fur was ripped in many places. “Haha, scared to kill me?” He growled lowly, his voice full of tease, but the sound held no strength.“I want to torture you so hard you'd beg for death before I kill you, Marcus…” Magnus stood tall above him. His body was huge, muscles stretched tight with rage. His eyes glowed gold, wild and burning with fury. His chest rose and fell heavily, breath coming in rough puffs. He wanted to kill. To end this. To rip Marcus apart just as Marcus had done to his father! He lowered his head, lips pulling back to reveal long, deadly teeth.One bite. That’s all it w

    «THIRD POV»Marcus froze in place, his eyes growing wide with fear as Adrian walked into the hall. “T-this is impossible,” he stammered, voice shaking. He took a slow step back, like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.The other alphas standing beside him also started backing away. Their proud faces turned pale, and their bodies tensed as if danger had just entered the hall. Disbelief was written on their faces. Clara noticed their sudden change. Confused, she looked from one alpha to another. Why were they scared of Adrian so intensely? Could something have happened before they attacked the Dark Howl pack? Something she didn’t know yet… Andromeda, who always looked calm and full of control, suddenly snapped. “This can’t happen!” she shouted, her eyes sharp with anger and shock as she rushed toward Adrian. “How did you get out of the silver chains?!” Clara gasped loudly, her eyes jumping to Adrian. “Silver chains?” she whispered to herself in disbelief.

    «CLARA’S POV»The hall was growing heavy with silence.“I don’t have to explain anything to you!” Jasmine snapped, standing tall again. Then I caught her hand twitched toward her knife. BANG. My bullet tore through her shoulder before she could move. She screamed, collapsing against the wall. "YOU CRAZY—""Next one goes between your eyes," I said calmly. "Talk." Lusaka eyess widened in realization and he stormed forward, his claws out. "Who else knew?" Jasmine's bloody grin was answer enough. "Too late." Shit. We'd walked right into a trap! Before I could reply, another voice entered the hall.“Well, well, well…”Magnus.He walked in with slow, confident steps like he owned the world. His hands behind his back like a man going for a leisure stroll. Behind him, more footsteps followed. Heavy boots.

    «CLARA’S POV»Night had fully fallen. The sky was dark like a giant black beast, spreading over everything.The air was cold and quiet. Every step we took was careful. Silent. The leaves under our feet barely made a sound.We had moved deep into the woods until we finally reached the Dark Howl pack border."Wait." I raised my hand to stop everyone. We crouched behind the tall trees. Up ahead, I could see the patrolling guards. Ten of them, walking slowly, talking in low voices, not alert at all."Finish them." One command from me and I nodded at the small group of rogues I had sent ahead. They moved like shadows. Silent and Quick. One by one, they crept up behind the ten patrolling guards. One guard stood watch, yawning. He never felt the hand clamp over his mouth. Never saw the blade flash in the moonlight. A quick jerk—sharp and deep. His body sagged before he could make a sound. Another guard turned, sensing something wrong. Too late. A rogue was already behind him. One hand

    «CLARA’S POV»The sun was still up in the sky yet the woods were too quiet. I stepped out of the last SUV, my boots crunching on dry leaves.We had stopped at a hidden spot not too far from Dark Howl Pack. The trees were thick here, and the wind moved in the opposite direction, keeping our scents covered. It was the safest place to camp before the fight. The area we camped in was a wide clearing covered in dry leaves. There were at least fifteen black SUVs parked around, some with their doors still open. Warriors were already scattered around the place. Some were sitting on stones and old tree trunks, eating packed food. Others were talking in low voices, trying to keep their spirits high. A few were checking their weapons. One was even telling jokes, and the others near him laughed, though it was easy to hear the tension beneath it.I walked beside Lusaka as we headed toward the center of the clearing. The moment the warriors saw us, they stood quickly and bowed. Even the ones who

    «ADRIAN’S POV»The sound of clashing swords and sparring feet paused the moment I stepped onto the training grounds. Everyone stopped. Every head turned. I didn’t waste time.“Listen up!” I shouted, my voice echoing across the open field. “First person to tell me where Ryan really is gets promoted to head guard!”I know am no longer Alpha of the pack but that doesn't mean I have no power. Anyone who knew Adrian Blackwaters know he's ruthless and can be just as cruel. The silence stretched too long.Then a small voice from the back: "They took him to the cells." My blood went cold. I stepped forward, locking eyes with the female warrior who spoke. “Who did?”The female warrior stepped forward too, shaking but determined. "Marcus. Three nights ago. Said Ryan was a traitor." I didn’t wait for anything else.I ran.The prison cells were buried deep under the east wing. They smelled like old metal and dried blood. The walls dripped with damp, and the air felt heavy.I didn’t bother w

    «ADRIAN’S POV»I drove back to Dark Howl Pack in silence.The road felt longer than before. My hands stayed tight on the wheel, my jaw locked the whole time. I didn’t want to think. I didn’t want to feel. Not right now.Driving through the forest, the trees blurring past my window. The closer I got to Pack, the heavier my chest felt. Finally, I reached the border and slowed down. The delta patrolling guards standing watch looked uneasy. Their eyes shifted between each other before landing on me. One of them even staggered back a little. I frowned but kept driving. Maybe they were just surprised to see me. I had been gone for days without notice.Still, something felt off.When I reached the packhouse, the feeling grew stronger. People stopped what they were doing. A group of young wolves training near the field all turned to look at me. I saw gasps. Some of them even bowed late like they didn’t expect me. My pack never acted like this before. Just silence and… worry.I gradually par

    «CLARA’S POV»The morning air was cool and gentle as I strolled around through the Rogue’s pack town. The grass was still wet from the early dew, and a faint breeze brushed against my skin.A few rogue members passed by, stopping in their tracks when they saw me. Heads bowed, respectfully.With each greeting, I nodded back with a small, forced smile.It still felt strange sometimes—to be looked at like that. With admiration. With trust. Because it hadn’t always been this way.Not long ago, they hated me.Back when I first came here… they feared me. They whispered behind my back. The cursed wolf. A danger. A mistake.I was the outsider.

    «ADRIAN POV»My shoulders tensed, but I turned. Moonlight cut across Lusaka’s face, revealing an expression I’d never seen before—something almost like respect. "You’re really leaving?" He tilted his head, studying me. "Just like that?" I swallowed hard, my gaze flickering past him to where Clara still stood below in the training ground. "I told you. She’s yours to protect now."Lusaka surprised me then. He laughed—not his usual mocking chuckle, but something quieter. Almost tired. "Gods, you’re stubborn." He ran a hand through his hair. "You think I don’t see what this is costing you?"I didn’t answer. The truth sat like a stone in my throat: Everything. It’s costing me everything. Below us, Clara bent to pick up her water flask, her movements slower now. Exhausted. Lusaka followed my gaze, his voice dropping. "I’ll protect her, Adrian. You have my word." When I stiffened, he added, "Not because you asked. Because she’s worth protecting. After all, she's my wife." Something i
