LOGINThird Person's POV"Damon, what Zayne did was indeed wrong. But try to be an uncle he can approach," Markus advised his son, his voice heavy with a father's concern. "What happened is between him and Reina. I am standing by him, but I want you to understand that Zayne is vulnerable without your support.""Dad, I can't help but recall the way he spoke to Reina," Damon countered, his jaw tight. "It hurts me to see the man he has become."“I understand. But let that confrontation remain between the two of them,” Markus urged.“I cannot do that, Dad. You know my nature; this is about my wife. If anyone should distance themselves from Zayne, it’s you. Don’t forget how he has treated you all these years,” Damon argued, his tone hardening.He suddenly sensed Reina approaching and fell silent. She came into view a moment later, her expression calm despite the tension in the room.“Why are you two still standing here? Let’s go to the dining hall,” Reina suggested. Zayne entered the living roo
Zayne's POV I finally had the chance to speak with Reina, the woman I had brutally driven out of my life. Cheating had been a conscious choice, and I was fully aware that no excuse could mitigate the damage I’d done. Yet, despite the weight of my actions, I forced myself to face her.My resentment toward her hadn't manifested overnight. Mariana had been relentless, feeding me fabricated evidence against Reina at every turn. Like a fool, I had believed every word without question.I found Reina in the center of the garden, her back turned toward me."Reina, thank you for agreeing to speak with me privately," I began, my voice reflecting the tension I felt.She turned with a frown. "Make it quick. I have no desire to even stand near you; I only agreed for my father-in-law’s sake.""I don't even know where to start," I admitted. The words I had practiced since the day I found out Mariana lied to me suddenly felt inadequate. A wave of nervousness washed over me, a feeling I had never exp
Third Person’s POV"Damon, let’s end this here. It's late, and we didn't come here to discuss the total annihilation of the pack," Markus intervened. He turned his gaze toward Emmanuel, acknowledging the gravity of the situation. "You’re right; this level of instability threatens the pack’s entire infrastructure. However, as Zayne is the reigning Alpha, the final decision rests solely with him. For now, this meeting is adjourned."Beside him, Reina reached out and took Damon’s hand, her thumb tracing a gentle, soothing circle over his skin to ground him.The silence that followed was sharp, broken only by Zayne’s cold command to the sentries lining the room. "Take them to the dungeon."He remained unmoved as the guards moved in. Despite the frantic, desperate pleas for mercy echoing through the hall, Zayne didn’t offer the prisoners so much as a glance. His focus had already shifted. Mariana watched him while being dragged away, her jaw tightening in a silent display of resentment as
Third Person's POV"How could you even think of rushing the wedding on such a foundation of lies?" Zayne bellowed, his voice vibrating through the room.Mariana, despite the silver shackles dragging her down, looked up with a twisted smirk. "Because you would have chosen Reina, wouldn't you? Even your uncle saw her value, despite everything she did to you.""Why are you dragging me into this?" Reina interjected. She turned to face Mariana with a cold stare. "You two cheated on me. You honestly thought I would have just accepted a cheater back into my life?""Why not? You had no one else," Mariana sneered."Shut your mouth," Damon snapped, his wolf barely leashed as his golden eyes suddenly flashed crimson red. "Damon, calm down. Let me handle this," Reina said, placing a steadying hand on his arm. She didn't look at her husband as she spoke, her gaze locked firmly on Zayne."You made a mockery of everything," she continued with reprimand. "You invited guests, created a spectacle at m
Third Person's POV"Ada, this is so sudden," Reina said. "We need to leave for the Black Shadow pack immediately. My father-in-law has requested our presence."Ada crossed her arms, her brow furrowed in disapproval. "But why are you troubled by this? If anything, it’s justice. It’s good that he finally got to see what betrayal tastes like.""Because Markus asked for me specifically," Reina explained, pausing to look her friend in the eye. "Do you think I’m going there for Zayne? Absolutely not. I never received the love or support I deserved from my own family, but here, things have been different from the beginning. My father-in-law has put his trust in me, and I want to be the daughter he needs during a crisis."Ada’s expression softened. "I get it. In that case, you should definitely go." She leaned in, her voice lowering slightly. "But tell me the truth, are you happy?"Reina nodded slowly. "I am. I remember the day Zayne told me I wasn't suitable to be his Luna. He called me weak
Reina's POV After settling Ada in the guest room, I returned to the living room. Damon was still waiting, his attention snapping to me the moment I entered."You should rest, too," he said, walking over to bridge the distance between us. He took my hand, his thumb brushing over my knuckles, and we walked upstairs together.Once we were inside the privacy of our bedroom, I helped him slide off his overcoat, draping it over my forearm."What happened at the barracks?" I asked. "You left in such a rush. I’ve been worried."He sighed, the exhaustion finally showing in his posture. "We caught a lead, Reina. Angus’s Beta tracked a vehicle abandoned in the rogue suburbs. They found an image of the man who hired the attacker, but that’s where the trail ends. It’s complicated."I paused, thinking about the surveillance systems I used to study for fun. "CCTV helps a lot if you know how to navigate the blind spots. Did you cross-reference the footage with other cameras in the area?""That’s how
Damon's POVAfter spending a long time playing in the water, we finally moved away from the waves and settled down in a shady spot on the beach. A natural rock formation nearby formed the mouth of a small cave, casting a shadow over the sand.Reina sat beside me, brushing the sand from her hands as
Reina’s POVDamon pulled the car into the parking lot. As we stepped out, he rounded the vehicle and immediately took my hand."You chose the flowers quite carefully," he noted, his gaze drifting down to the bouquet of white lilies I held."White is a symbol of peace. And because we are in the Moon
Reina's POV Damon was mere centimeters from my face, his breath warm against my skin, when a sharp knock shattered the silence of the room. The door swung open before we could even pull apart."Your father has arrived, Damon. My apologies for the unfortunate timing," Oliver announced, keeping a pr
Reina’s POVI rubbed my eyes as the morning sun flooded the bedroom. Memories of last night came rushing back, making me wince. "I took my anger out on Damon instead of the person who actually earned it," I whispered, pulling my knees to my chest. I remembered Damon’s promise to confront his nephew
