LOGINAndri I'll be updating more chapters tonight. Thanks for reading 😘
KILLIAN’S POVWhen she spoke, she was someone else entirely. Such authority and wisdom. It made me question if I actually knew the woman I had spent ten years of my life with in the past.All those years—how did I never see this potential?Freya was diligent, never failing in her duties as far as I could remember, but this… this was incredible.Right now, she might have just cracked the source of this burden that has been a bone in my throat.Our wolves are growing weaker. Pups getting born without wolves.Freya’s insight could change everything possible right now.But that big question still sank into my bones—how?How was she able to know so much about my pack, even more than I did?Anyone with a wavering confidence would feel even less than her feet.Tapping my fingers on my chin, I could still picture her frame making those gestures as she spoke.She wasn’t smart—she was intelligent.Right now, this could either be an asset or a potential threat. I had to weigh my options clearly
Freya’s POVKillian’s question landed like a blade pressed to my throat. For a heartbeat, I couldn’t breathe.“Who are you?”Was it possible that he had figured something out?I kept my face smooth, even as my pulse hammered violently beneath my skin.I’d faced hostility from council members, elders—even death itself—but nothing compared to the way Killian was looking at me now. Like he was peeling me apart layer by layer, searching for the truth hidden underneath flesh and bone.“I’m your Luna,” I said calmly, forcing the words past my tight chest. “Is that not enough?”Killian didn’t answer right away.He rose from his chair instead.Slowly, and deliberately.The scrape of feet against the floor echoed far too loudly in the quiet room. He circled the desk, stopping directly in front of me. Close enough that I could feel his heat, his dominance pressing down like an invisible weight.“No,” he said softly. “It isn’t.”His eyes dropped to my hands—still clasped together—then returned
Vivian’s POVI was more than certain Alpha Killian wouldn’t let her off easily after seeing her standing so close to him.My fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, a satisfied smile playing on my lips. I’d had to raise the pay of the worthless omegas I bribed—just to make sure they kept their eyes on every single movement within this pack.Information was power.And as the future Luna, I had to stay informed.I also had to keep my future mother-in-law happy. After all, she had already approved of me.If it weren’t for Freya—that wretched bitch—I would have been the Luna of this pack by now.Shaking my head, I stared down at the photo displayed on my screen.Freya and that beta, always cling to her like a pupA slow smile curved my lips.I folded the photo neatly and slipped it into my pocket.“This could be useful… in the future,” I murmured.Let’s see if Killian would still protect you after the entire werewolf territory heard about this.A cruel idea bloomed in my mind, dark an
Freya’s POVHow much of my conversation with Raphael had he heard—and why was he suddenly everywhere?Was he doing this on purpose? Watching me wherever I went. Making sure there was no room for escape.At his side stood his mistress, Vivian.When she noticed my gaze, she smirked and shifted closer to him, her smile deliberate and possessive.They must have been together since I left.I forced the bile rising in my throat back down and offered Killian a warm smile.“I was speaking with my beta. You have yours by your side. Is there a problem, Alpha Killian?”Killian’s gaze narrowed briefly toward Vivian, then snapped back to me. There was no light in those cold eyes—only something sharp enough to make my stomach knot with fear.His feet pressed heavily against the ground as he walked toward us, one measured step at a time.When he reached us, he paused for a few seconds beside Raphael.My breath hitched.Raphael didn’t move. He didn’t step aside or bow his head. Instead, they stared
Killian’s POV"Vivian, what is it?" I asked, fingers dug into the edge of the table.Vivian walked softly and hesitantly toward me."I'm sorry. Did I interrupt something? But the Luna already left," she murmured.My body stayed still, leaning against the table. I shook my head to ease her fears as I took my seat. "What is it, Vivian? You wouldn’t have come to see me this early in the morning if it wasn’t important."Vivian nodded, taking the seat in the same spot Freya had occupied. It reminded me of how she had closed herself off, like she was in the den of a lion that could shred her into pieces. It was far more painful than I would ever let myself admit."Actually, I wanted to apologize for yesterday. It was my fault for messing up during your interrogation. Rest assured, Killian, I’ll make sure to find out who’s behind the maid and why she did all of that to the Luna."My mind clouded for a moment, but it snapped back when I felt a weight against my palm on the table.Vivian gave
Freya’s POVMy mind was still reeling with the gravity of the situation and the possibility of what Killian was about to do.Trapped under a hate I was supposed to hate, but this feeling of wanting something so forbidden had a level of thrill, and it was so disgusting.I could already feel Killian’s lips brushing against the top of mine, and my own lips tingled… maybe ached for him to close this distance.I thrashed, but Killian’s locked his hand tighter. My toes curled as I tried to move further and then—Knock! KNOCK!My heart, for a moment, sank.This feeling—was I disappointed?Killian closed his eyes, clearly annoyed, as he pulled back slightly but still unmoved to let me go."Hansel, I told you not to disturb, gods!""Umm, Killian, it’s me. There’s something really important that we need to discuss."Vivian.I scoffed. Of course—how could I possibly forget about his mistress?"Vivian, I’m...""I have to go," I interrupted Killian, shaking off his grip, and he stepped back. Watch
