“You’re carrying Damien’s heir.”

My heart stopped. My lungs tightened, hands trembling.

The excitement in her eyes unsettled me. Damien’s heir? How is that even possible? There must be some mistake.

“What?” I asked, my breath hitching.

She furrowed her brows slightly. “I sai—”

“Ma’am Elena!” A soft, warm voice called from behind. I turned sharply—it was Elizabeth, my personal maid.

Immediately, I snapped my head back toward the old woman. To my horror, she was gone. My eyes reeled in shock as I stared around in confusion.

“Where is she?” I whispered.

Elizabeth’s footsteps echoed as she rushed toward me. “Who are you talking about, Miss Elena?” she asked softly, scanning the empty garden, her face filled with perplexity.

“The old lady…” My voice was low, shaky but audible.

“Ma’am, we should leave now. There’s no one here. I’m sure you didn’t see anyone.”

I bit down on my lips. I couldn’t argue, couldn’t even explain. I wasn’t sure if what the woman had said was tru

    Chains of Truth“Here, Alpha Lucas. This is what we found,” Blaze announced, holding out a torn, dirty cloth, the same one Maddena wore the day she died.Lucas took it slowly, his fingers brushing over the rough fabric.“So… she’s truly dead?” he asked.Blaze nodded, his face lowered. “Yes, Alpha.”Lucas stared at the cloth for a moment, then smiled faintly. “Good. I hope you searched the ocean properly?”Blaze kept his expression sad, though inside, his blood boiled. “Yes, Alpha. Her coffin was destroyed by something dangerous. We even found pieces of her bones.”He waited for a reaction, a trace of guilt, sorrow, or regret. But instead, Lucas burst into laughter, the sound echoing across the hall.“Good!” he said again, laughing harder. “She deserves it! If only she were still alive, I’d feed her bones to wild dogs.”His eyes sparkled with cruel satisfaction. Blaze clenched his fists, struggling to keep his rage hidden.Lucas turned to a soldier nearby. “And what about the water?”

    The Truth That Broke MeHer words pierced through my heart like a knife, leaving me bleeding inside.The air suddenly felt too heavy to breathe. My chest tightened, and my head began to spin. This couldn’t be real. It had to be a nightmare.“This can’t be right... this isn’t real, right?” I whispered, my voice shaking as I looked at the witch.Her lips curved into a small, knowing smirk. “I wish it wasn’t true,” she said coldly. “But you can’t deny the way you are drawn to Damien. You know something was off.”Her words hit me again like thunder. She was right. Deep down, I knew something had been wrong with this pregnancy from the start. I ignored every sign, every strange feeling.Moon Goddess, no... this can’t be happening.So Lucas was right about being infertile?My chest rose and fell quickly. My whole body trembled as my blood turned cold. My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes.“Dear, there’s no use fainting,” the witch said, her voice sharp. “You must accept the truth.”She

    My breath heaved as I squeezed my toes on the bed, sweat pouring down my forehead. My whole body trembled with fear.I had been running, or at least it felt like I had. The nightmare was so real, I could still feel the earth beneath my feet and the darkness swallowing me whole. I screamed, but the sound vanished into the night as a dark energy chased me through the forest. My lungs burned, my legs ached, yet I kept running until I dared to look back.That was when I saw her, the same woman I had seen earlier in the garden. Her eyes were hollow, filled with something ancient and terrifying. She whispered words that pierced through me like knives.“You are bearing the pack heir.”I jolted awake, gasping for air. My breathing sounded loud and heavy in the silence of the room. My heart pounded so fast I could almost hear it echo. I pressed my shaly hands to my stomach, trying to calm down, but my mind was spinning.Ever since I met that woman, my life had turned into a nightmare. I saw h

    “Are you just going to stand there and pretend this is normal?” Simon, adviser to Beta Blaze, snapped as they trudged through the dark forest. The night was cold, the air thick with mist, and the only sounds were the distant chirping of crickets and the crunch of their boots on dead leaves.Blaze turned slightly, his face blank. “Meaning?” he asked in confusion.Simon scoffed. “Your Alpha is losing his mind, Blaze. Evil is sinking into him, slowly consuming whatever is left of his sanity.” His voice rose, echoing through the trees.Blaze couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. He was almost relieved that people were finally noticing what he had known all along, Lucas, their Alpha, was going insane. And soon, the pack would see it too. Sooner or later, he’d be stripped of his title.“That’s what happens,” Blaze said quietly, “when you kill an innocent person.”Simon stopped walking. His hand shot up, signaling for the rest of the soldiers behind them to halt. “Then tell me,” he said, turni

    I inhaled deeply, bracing myself for the worst. I knew what I just did would start a war, but I didn’t care anymore. Lucas broke me. He shattered my trust, my love, and every piece of hope I once had. He wanted to kill me and my baby. He made it seem like he never loved me, like I was just a passing distraction, something to use and discard when he was done.My hands clenched into fists, trembling as I remembered the way he threw me into the ocean, without hesitation, without remorse. His cold eyes stared down at me as if all these years, he’d been waiting for the perfect moment to finally end me. And he did. Because the day he threw me into that river, something inside me died. Love died. Hope died. Care died. Trust died. All that remained now was pure, burning hatred.Suddenly, Damien’s hands grabbed mine, pulling me out of the darkness of my thoughts. I looked up, startled and confused. I didn’t understand why my body reacted so sharply to his touch. My heart raced, and I blinked r

    The word hit like a bomb. Lucas froze the moment he heard Maddena’s name. His whole body went stiff, and his hands slowly curled into tight fists. He felt his chest tighten as anger and pain burned through him like fire. Slowly, his cold, sharp eyes turned toward the soldier who had spoken, his jaw clenching. “What do you mean?” he asked in a low, dangerous tone. His voice was sharp enough to cut through the air. Maddena. That was a name he never wanted to hear again — not after everything. It was a name that tore open every wound he tried to bury. The soldier swallowed hard, clearly afraid to speak. “Her hair clip was found in the woods, Alpha,” he said carefully. “On a small walkway near the ocean… the same ocean she was thrown into.” For a moment, silence filled the room. Blaze stood beside Lucas, his expression calm, though his heart had started to pound. He could feel the tension rising in the air like a storm about to break. “Maybe it was just the waves,” Blaze said qui
