تسجيل الدخولZara’s POV “You were never human, Zara.”For a moment, I simply stared at him. Never human?Then I laughed. A long, bitter laugh, to make him realize how stupid he sounded.The room remained silent. No one moved; they only stared at me. I looked from him to the healers and back to him again. Nobody looked confused. Days ago, they looked at me with disgust. Like I was some parasite. Now, they looked at me like they were waiting for me to understand.That made my anger explode.“You dragged me to an execution platform, you drugged me, and then this.” I snapped. “You actually expect me to believe I am suddenly not human.”“It isn’t sudden,” Ryan replied coldly. “You just did not know.”I laughed again. “You people are insane.”Their expressions did not change; they just stared at me. I hated that. I looked from one face to another again, and it made me realize something that made my stomach twist. They believed it.I could feel every emotion. And they believed him. They believed I was n
Zara’s POVMy eyes flew open.I shot upright so fast, but it was different this time. For the first time since I went beyond the walls, I didn’t feel pain. Not one single pain. But something was wrong.Deeply wrong.At first, I didn’t understand what I was feeling, and I didn’t understand what I was hearing. Only that I was feeling too much. I even noticed the people who surrounded me. It was not just discomfort. It was awareness. But the feeling was too sharp, like the world stopped filtering itself for me.The room wasn’t quiet, but nobody was talking. Nobody was making a sound.No one was walking in the room, but I could hear footsteps, a faint shift of cloth, the scrape of a boot against the stone. Every sound came in at once. Crashing in my head in layers I couldn’t separate.At first, it felt like something I could tolerate, but it slowly became overwhelming. I could hear so many heartbeats. Over 100 heartbeats at the same time. They didn’t sit in the background of my head anymo
Zara’s POVThe only thing that surrounded me was darkness. No crowd, no werewolves. No pain. Just the endless darkness that stretched around me like a prison with no walls. The kind that didn’t have an escape.This must be my afterlife. Maybe nothing was truly waiting for me on the other side. No heaven. No peace. No reunion with the people I had lost in the past. Maybe it was for the best. At least I wouldn’t see the disappointment on my father’s face.The darkness should have terrified me. Instead, I felt…calm.All the fear that consumed me on the execution platform was gone; No more panic. No more pain. No more humiliation. No more fear. It was all gone.I remembered the poison. Why would werewolves, animals with the power to tear me apart, poison me? Even a human would rather tear them apart if they wanted to execute them.I remember the way Ryan held the cup while the crowds watched. He looked unhappy. Was it because of Kira's condition? Or he did not want me dead? I remembered t
Ryan’s POVThe crowd erupted violently the moment Zara collapsed. I have never seen them that happy in a long time. Howls echoed through the territory. Some wolves cheered; they danced around the territory. Others shouted insults at the motionless body lying on the platform.But I felt nothing. Maybe I would have been happier if she had actually died. I stared at Zara; she barely moved. I wish it were actually real. Her chest barely moved. Her heartbeat had slowed enough to fool anyone who checked.I turned back to the crowd. To them, she was dead, and that was what mattered. “Long live Alpha Ryan.” The chant spread through the crowd. And I hated it. I was misleading them, and they were happy about it; they thought justice had been served. If only they knew.I turned back to Zara one final time. She didn’t move; she remained still. What if the healers were wrong? What if she didn’t wake up again? Karl would be devastated.“Take the body away,” I ordered.Immediately, four guards stepp
Zara’s POV“Alpha,” the guard said. “Everything is ready for the execution.”Wait, what?This is actually happening. I thought I still had a few hours left. Why did Ryan tell me to go to bed when I was about to be executed?“Good,” Ryan said.Ryan didn’t even look at me anymore; he just went straight to the door, looked at the guards, and told them something I couldn’t hear.A lot of things were going through my mind, but all I knew was that I had failed my father. I had been captured; now I was going to be killed like a dog. I was going to be the laughing stock in my enemy's territory.No…no…no.“Move,” the guards grabbed my hands.I tried pulling away from them, I really tried, but the effort was useless. I was still injured and hurt, all thanks to Ryan. I was still weak and broken.One of the guards covered my face with a black cloth, and another locked my hands and feet in chains. I could barely walk; with every step I took, the chain rattled. Tears burned my eyes, and I hated mys
Zara's POV "Everyone, Leave." The guards rushed out the moment they heard him speak. I am still shocked at the level of fear they have for Ryan; it makes me wonder how evil he is. Karl still sat next to Kira; he didn't move an inch. "Even you, Karl," Ryan said. Karl hesitated; his gaze lingered on Kira before he stood. He looked at Ryan like he didn't trust him, then looked back at Kira, then back at Ryan again. "Don't lose control again," Karl said, carrying Luca, who was already dozing off. The door slammed hard behind him, and Ryan, Kira, and I were the only ones remaining in the room, but he didn't even look at me; instead, he went straight to Kira. Something about that irritated me. A lot of things were going on in my mind, and all he could think of was Kira? Heat rose in my chest. The more I watched him, the more irritated I became. My fingers curled into a fist."Why are you people doing this?" I asked Ryan, "Why don't you admit you killed him? What's the point of lying if
Zara's POVEverything felt unreal. White light. Shadows. It felt like I was floating somewhere unknown. The air was heavier here, but better than the chambers. This had to be the afterlife. Finally, I was free from the enemy territory. Luca would hate humans, but what difference did it make now?
Zara’s POV The moment I stepped through the door, cold air rushed towards me like something alive. We walked into the same wide hall as before, but we moved in a different direction. This part felt odd compared to the others. The upper halls were silent, but this place felt worse, as if sound
Zara's POVThe moment the gates closed behind us, everything changed. The air felt strange, slipping into my lungs with every breath till it burned. Even the wind sounded different out here, like it was trying to tell me something.The road ahead was empty and dark. My father rode down this sam
Zara’s POV I let out a quiet sigh as I straightened, smoothing my hands over the creases on my clothes before pushing the door open.The hall was quiet. Unusually quiet. I pushed past the crowd anyway, but as I moved deeper, I startedto notice some strange things. No one looked at each other f
