Indira's POV The morning air was unusually crisp, carrying a promise of change on its wings. I stood by the balcony of my room, watching the sunlight dance over the treetops of Blackmist territory. The lands stretched endlessly, veiled in golden mist. For a moment, I allowed myself to breathe—truly breathe—as if the vision of beauty below was mine to rule.Soon, it would be.My fingers curled around the carved stone balustrade, knuckles white with anticipation. Today was the day. The final piece of my plan would finally fall into place.Lady Serena—the ever-noble, ever-suspicious thorn in my side—was leaving.Gone on yet another one of her pointless “adventures,” chasing moon spirits or ancient prophecies or whatever eccentric nonsense occupied her regal mind. And when she left... she wouldn’t return.I smiled faintly, lips curling with satisfaction.The poison had already been prepared and mixed into the small jar of her favorite herbal tincture. The very one she never traveled with
Kira's POV.Hearing such a heart wrenching story on how Viktor lost his mate made my heart sway.I almost forgot about the fact that he lied to me about his real Identity.I felt pity for him seeing him on the floor looking like he had lost every reason for living. He looked lost. Like a man who has buried so much pain and hurt for a long time and has no idea how to deal with it now that it has resurfaced.“I won't call the border police on you, but I think I know what to do.” I said.Although Viktor might have had his reasons for keepiuhia real identity from me, it is something that I can't just push aside.I felt betrayed as foolish. All kinds of scenarios were playing in my head about what his reaction must have been when he found out I was Titan's mate.Maybe he kept me around looking for the perfect time for revenge. There were just a lot of questions going on in my head.“Really?* He asked, looking shocked.Even if inknownir would be the right thing as he is living in my pack wi

Kira's POV.I didn’t know what I expect from Viktor when he opened his mouth to tell me what he did to Zoya. I expected everything but this confession.His voice had been low…..barely above a whisper… but the gravity of those words thundered in my ears like a crashing storm.“I killed her, Kira… I killed Zoya.”At first, I wanted to laugh not out of amusement, but because it sounded so absurd. Viktor? The man who barely raised his voice who looked like a puppy, Who flinched at sudden movements. Who walked like he carried the world on his back. Was a killer?For a second I thought he was making a terrible joke.“Don’t say things like that,it's not funny” I joked trying to lighten up the suddenly dark atmosphere, hugging myself to keep the cold that suddenly swept through the room from settling inside me. But then when I looked at him….really looked…I knew, he wasn't joking at all.His face was buried in his shaky hand. While his shoulders trembled like he was holding back sobs that h
