2026-04-25 00:01:00I stared down at the notebook in my hands.
Doris’s notebook.My fingers moved on their own, flipping through the pages again and again, like repetition alone could force answers out of ink and paper.Maybe I missed something.Maybe there was a hidden meaning I didn’t see the first time.But every page looked the same.Half-written thoughts. Quiet notes. Empty gaps that didn’t explain anything.And that was the worst part.The silence inside it felt intentional.

~ Ryder ~I couldn’t move.For a moment, I just stood there, staring at my father as if the world had shifted beneath my feet.“What the fuck…” I breathed.My chest felt tight, like something was pressing on it.“Lucious?” I said again, slower this time, like saying the name differently might change the meaning. “Lucious was behind all of this?”It didn’t make sense.It refused to make sense.“We trusted him,” I said, my voice rising slightly. “Even after everyone believed you were dead… he stayed. He stood by me.”Memories hit me one after the other.Lucius beside me during council meetings.Lucius corrects me when I make mistakes.Lucius guiding me—teaching me how to lead.“He helped me run the pack,” I added, my voice dropping. “He was there when I didn’t know what the hell I was doing.”I shook my head slowly.“How was I supposed to believe he was the one behind it?” I muttered. “How was I supposed to see that?”Sil

I looked up immediately.The door creaked wider, and a man stepped inside.He wore a mask.For a second, everything slowed—the room, the air, even my own heartbeat. My arms tightened around Elena’s trembling body, her weight sinking heavier against me with every passing second.“Try,” I muttered under my breath, my voice low and dangerous.My focus snapped back to Elena.“Elena… stay with me,” I said quickly, my voice breaking despite myself. “Look at me. Stay with me.”Her body jerked weakly in my arms. Another cough tore through her chest, and more blood spilled from her lips, warm against my hands. Her fingers twitched once against my arm—then loosened.“No… no, no, no…”I shifted her slightly, lifting her head, trying to keep her awake.“Breathe, Elena. Just breathe,” I urged.But her breathing wasn’t steady anymore.It came in short, shallow pulls—like her body was forgetting how to keep going.Her eyes, once bright and full o

** 3 years ago **~ Alpha Stone ~The house was unusually quiet that afternoon.I sat alone in the sitting room, half-watching a movie that I wasn’t really paying attention to. Ryder was away on a trip with Blade and Julius. The house always felt different when he wasn’t around—less noise, less tension, but also less life.From the kitchen, I could hear the faint clatter of dishes. Luna Elena.She had been in there for a while now. Cooking again.A small smile touched my lips.Cooking was her escape. Whenever something weighed on her mind, she would lose herself in flavors, spices, and recipes—like she could stir her worries away.Just as I leaned back into the couch, a soft voice broke the silence.“Greetings, Alpha.”I turned immediately.Nana stood at the entrance of the room.For a moment, I hadn’t even heard her come in.“Nana?” I said, surprised, then smiled warmly. “What brings you here?”She walked toward me quickl

~ Ryder ~ “Baby… are you bored?” I asked softly, looking down at Doris.Her head rested on my thigh, her body relaxed like she had finally found a place where nothing could hurt her. My fingers moved gently through her hair, brushing the strands again and again, like I was trying to memorize every part of her.She shifted slightly and tilted her head up, her eyes meeting mine without leaving my lap. There was a spark in them—playful, curious.“If I say I’m bored,” she said, her voice light but teasing, “what exactly are you going to do to entertain me?”A small smile tugged at my lips.“I’ll sing for you,” I whispered.Before she could react, I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against her lips. She smiled into it, and something in my chest tightened. Moments like this… they made everything else fade away.For a second, it felt like there was no danger. No enemies. Just her.Then movement caught my eye.I glanced to the side and saw Ms

I stared down at the notebook in my hands.Doris’s notebook.My fingers moved on their own, flipping through the pages again and again, like repetition alone could force answers out of ink and paper.Maybe I missed something.Maybe there was a hidden meaning I didn’t see the first time.But every page looked the same.Half-written thoughts. Quiet notes. Empty gaps that didn’t explain anything.And that was the worst part.The silence inside it felt intentional.Like the truth was there… just not for me yet.My mind wouldn’t stop spinning.Why now?Why was everything from my past suddenly coming back in pieces I couldn’t understand?First my father’s lies.Then the necklace.Now this notebook.I flipped one more page.Still nothing.I let out a shaky breath, closed the notebook, and slipped it deep into my inner pocket. No more time. I had to move.I walked toward the door and stopped just before it.I pr

“Blade, I already told you,” my father said, his voice low and tight. “Finish the mission properly—exactly as I instructed. Come back home in one piece, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know about that necklace… including how it ended up here.”Something in his tone felt wrong. He wouldn’t meet my eyes. His gaze kept sliding away from the wall to the floor, like he was hiding behind his own words.I studied him for a moment, searching for something real in his expression, but all I found was control and something else underneath it.Fear.Or maybe guilt.I couldn’t tell anymore.“Fine,” I said finally. My voice came out calm, but my chest wasn’t. “I’ll get it done. Then I’m coming back for answers.”I didn’t wait for him to respond.I turned and stormed out of the private room. On my way, I snatched one of the black masks from the wall. I couldn’t risk being recognized tonight, and I needed to fucking get this damn mission done real quick.

Chapter 46Ryder had barely settled into his seat when he leaned closer, his voice low enough for only me to hear.“We have a lot to discuss,” he murmured, a small smile touching his lips. “You can’t keep secrets from me anymore.”Before I could respond, he pressed a soft kiss to my c

Chapter 43 Thirty minutes had passed.The grand hall felt like it was closing in on me. Lanterns swayed gently overhead, casting pools of golden light across rows of seated Alphas and Lunas. The air was heavy with the scent of meat, fresh wine, and too many perfumes. Music

Frustration burned hotter than the rage inside me.Rage was clean and simple because It gave me something to destroy.But this… this helplessness… it sat in my chest like poison, spreading with every breath.I should have found her.I should have brought her back.The pack hou
