“How do you think she will feel, knowing fully well you are the father? This is getting more interesting than I thought.”

Damien’s expression didn’t flinch. He stood tall, cold and dangerous, his broad shoulders stiffened as he stared out the wide window overlooking his pack lands. His presence was like ice, sharp and unyielding. The flicker of a smirk tugged at his lips, not because he was amused, but because of the irritating words of the man behind him. Zechariah.

Zechariah lounged arrogantly in Damien’s grand chair, the seat of power he had no right to occupy, his long legs crossed, his black coat cascading like a curtain of shadows around him. He twirled a silver knife effortlessly between his fingers, eyes glinting with mischief. His aura was wrong, always wrong—half witch, half wolf, never fully either, and never fully trusted. But for years, he and Damien had maintained a toxic friendship, a bond bound more by darkness than loyalty.

    The messenger bowed low, his voice steady despite the weight of his report. “Good afternoon, Alpha Lucas. Everything is going according to plan. Between yesterday and this morning, one hundred deaths have already been recorded.”Lucas’s lips curled into a slow, wicked grin. He wasn’t sure whether he should laugh or scream with joy at the news, but one thing was certain, satisfaction warmed him from the inside out. At last, everything was falling neatly into place.He raised the goblet in his hand, staring at the dark liquid within as though it were a jewel. Leaning back into his chair, he savored the moment.“This was faster than I imagined,” he mused, voice dripping with delight. “Father used to guard this liquid so fiercely, keeping it hidden from everyone. I never knew a single drop in a river could wipe out so many so quickly.”Across from him, Blaze shifted uncomfortably. His face twisted in disgust, his jaw tight as he stared at his Alpha with a look caught between loyalty and r

    Damien stood there, clad in a sleek black coat and matching pants, his long hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. His presence filled the doorway, his aura cold yet magnetic, so much so that the air itself seemed to bend around him. My heart skipped violently in my chest. I froze, unsure of what to say. Damien’s piercing gaze locked with mine, trapping me. For a moment, I couldn’t even breathe. “You… you’re up early,” he said finally, his voice calm yet carrying an edge that made me shiver. “I… yes,” I stammered, fumbling for composure. “I couldn’t sleep.” His eyes flicked briefly to my hand resting against my stomach. A shadow crossed his face, concern, surprise, anger? I couldn’t tell. “May I come in?” he asked quietly. I hesitated, but nodded, stepping aside. He entered smoothly, each movement precise and deliberate, as if he owned the room simply by being in it. My heart pounded, and I had to fight the instinct to flinch. He stopped near the bed, leaning lightly against

    She chuckled softly. “No, I’m Damien’s concubine.” My eyes widened. Damien has a concubine? That was new. Why wouldn’t he just marry her? “I heard Damien rescued you,” she continued, her gaze narrowing with suspicion. “What exactly are you to him?” I frowned at the question, irritation prickling in my chest. “Nothing. I’m nothing to him.” “Good. Keep it that way,” she snapped, her voice sharp as a blade. “Because he’s mine.” I lifted my chin, steadying my tone. “I’m not fighting you for him—and I never will. I’ll be leaving this pack soon anyway.” Her lips curled into a sneer as she flipped her hair to the other side, her flawless face marred with anger. “So,” she hissed, “when are you leaving?” I inhaled deeply. “Soon.” “Why soon? You should be gone already! He saved you, and you’re stable enough to leave!” Her high-pitched voice rang with accusation. I sucked in a breath, fighting to calm the rage that simmered in me. “I will leave… soon.” She sneered again. “Soon? When?

    “I… don’t know,” Elizabeth admitted, lowering her voice. “I haven’t really seen her in person, but the rumors say she’s old, so very old. They say she patrols around the pack sometimes… picking herbs.” Picking herbs? My breath caught in my throat. That old woman had been picking herbs when I saw her. My vision blurred, my head grew heavy and fuzzy. How could that be possible? No—no, it couldn’t be. How could he…? “Are you okay?” the healer’s gentle voice cut into my spiraling thoughts. I nodded weakly, though my stomach twisted in painful knots. Why couldn’t I be happy? Why did everything keep falling apart around me? My parents were gone, murdered by the very people I thought we could trust. The one person I had cherished and loved with my entire being had betrayed me. And now… my child. “This child belongs to Lucas,” I whispered fiercely in my mind, clutching my belly. “Nobody else.” But even as I said it, the words felt like I was trying to convince myself more than anyone el

    “Why are you crying, Maddena?” My spine froze, my breath caught in my throat. Damien. Did he trace me here? I wiped my tears quickly, trying to hide them, but my voice betrayed me. “I’m… no.t crying,” I sniffed, the words broken. “Lycan Damien,” Elizabeth bowed deeply, her tone filled with respect and submission. His cold gaze swept over me before settling on her. “What happened? Who hurt her?” Elizabeth swallowed hard, her voice soft. “She refused to speak about anything, Lycan Damien. I kept asking, but she wouldn’t answer me.” Something about his presence unsettled me. The way he cared—it frightened me. It wasn’t normal. Why did he keep bringing up the pup? Was he worried for his brother’s child? Yes, that must be it. He was just being protective, nothing more. I shook off the forbidden thoughts that dared to surface. I had never met him before all this, never had an encounter with him. Whatever the witch said, she must have been mistaken. Yes. She had to be. I forced mys
