Zarek's laughter cut me off, a harsh jeering sound. "Sacrifices?" he repeated, his voice oozing disdain. "You think killing your own brother was a sacrifice? You did that for me, didn't you, Kaidaira?" I felt the weight of my heart as it sank to the anchors of despair. "Yes," I whispered, the memory of that night flooding through my mind. "I did it to protect you-to protect our pack." Zarek was grinning from ear to ear. "And now, that same pack will profit from your sale. Poetic, don't you think?" I felt a chill dread creeping over me. "You used me," Zarek shrugged. "You were useful. Now you're not." ~~~~~~~~~ Being sold off by the one man you loved the most would leave any woman maimed for life.. In a world where fate and ruin are intertwined, one such fate will forever bind Kaidaira to the pack she has sworn to protect. But her heart belongs to Thane-an alpha, mysterious and brooding, who once stood on the receiving end of her blade. Torn between loyalty, love, and revenge, Kaidaira must choose: protect her pack or surrender to the all-consuming passion binding her to Thane. But one fact will not take long to be made clear as the darkness deepens, their love can definitely prove to be the one thing to bring about their doom. Thane was the only one who could defy the odds and save Kaidaira from herself, but will their bond survive against this encroaching darkness, or is this a love which has been forever entwined in a curse that will now claim them in its dance of self-destruction? No power greater, than that of a scorned woman.

Rashid’s stronghold sat between the rocky hills and the forest beyond. His people moved below, unaware, their guard relaxed, their warriors scattered.Good.They weren’t expecting this, they didn't know what was coming for them."They won’t know what hit them," Jarek said, his voice low and eager.A wide grim smile appeared on my face."No mercy," I said. "We end this fast and quick."The warriors behind me tightened their grips on their weapons. Armor gleamed in the fading light. Our wolves growled low in our chests, sensing the fight ahead and slowly savoring it.At my signal, we surged forward.The ground thundered beneath us as we charged down the slope. The horns of Rashid’s guards blared belatedly, shrill and panicked, but it was already too late.We smashed into the outposts like a strong wave, swords flashing, claws
Chapter 107Kaidaira's POV The courtyard felt empty after they left. Even with the servants rushing around, even with the clamor of preparations still humming in the air, everything seemed… quieter.I stood there for a long time, staring at the path Thane had taken. His words replayed in my head, soft and dangerous."I wouldn’t have been able to leave."It was the kind of thing that should melt a woman. Make her believe. Hope.But I couldn’t afford those things.Not when I was so close to everything I’d worked for.Not when revenge was still unfinished.I turned and walked back toward the palace, careful not to let my mask slip. The maids were already whispering."Did you see how he looked at her?""He never says things like that to anyone.""They’re in love."I smiled faintly as I passed them.Good. Let them believe it.The more convincing the lie, the deeper the betrayal would feel when the truth came crashing down. And it would. I’d make sure of it.Back in my chambers, I sank int
Chapter 106 Kaidaira's POV The sound of metal clashing jerked me out of sleep. It was faint, but steady, the distinct clank of armor and the dull thuds of heavy boots pounding against packed earth. I sat up in bed, pushing the silk sheets aside and straining my ears. Outside, the courtyard was alive with movement. Wolves. Warriors. Preparing for war. I slipped from the bed and moved to the window, pulling the curtain just slightly. From the tower, I could see them... lines of soldiers marching across the yard, weapons glinting in the morning sun. Horses neighed as they were led into formation. Blacksmiths barked orders as smoke billowed from the forges. Healers rushed across the grounds carrying crates of supplies, herbs, and bandages. And there it was that sharp, bitter smell that curled around my nose. Wolfsbane. I flinched instinctively. Even a trace of it made my stomach turn. The scent was unmistakable, and it hung in the air like a warning. Something about it all did
Kaidaira POVI was so shocked by what she said. She want to sell me back to Alpha Thane's pack. This can't be happening to me. Yet again I am nothing more than a commodity for sell. Why was life so cruel to me. “Have I done something so unforgivable that the moon goddess decides to punish me this way?” I asked myself.“I can't go back to Alpha Thane's pack” I screamed as everyone diverted their attention to me. The old woman gave me a stern look before turning to face the Alpha.“You either have to go back to Thane's pack or you die” Alpha Rashid said without mercy.All my hope was shattered before me, going back to Thane's pack is the same thing as death.“Send a message to Alpha Thane's that wwe are returning his slave back to him and it's coming with a price” Alpha Rashid back out orders to one of the general.“Sir what if he doesn't complies with us” one of them asked.“Then we would kill her” he said as if he was talking about kill an animal or something.I couldn't do anything

What does she mean by lies no one in tgis pack knows that Thane is the father of my child except lady Akira.But I know lady Akira won't say anything since she was trying to protect her family“What do you mean by lies?” One of the council members asked. “The child is not for any man, the child is for Alpha Thane” she said making me and Lady Akira look at each other in shock.I cover my shock expression up and tried to act tough. “Who is this Alpha Thane you are talking about?” I asked keeping my most innocent face. Like I was just hearing the name that made me scared and gave me butterflies for the first time.“I heard you when you were confessing to Lady Akira about the father of your child three days ago” she said making me shiver in fear.So Ismail had someone spy on us when my mother came to visit the other day. I was so foolish how cou
Chapter 103Kaidaira's POV When Thane finally calmed down, his voice was lower. He looked at me with fire in his eyes, but it wasn't anger, it was something else. "I’ll look into this," he said. "I’ll call the warriors, we’ll figure this out and thank you."He placed a kiss on my cheeks then he turned and walked toward the door."I’ll see you later," he said before leaving the room.As soon as the door closed behind him, I felt a rush of excitement in my chest. I did it. He believed it, my plan was working.I smiled to myself, holding back the laugh that wanted to escape. I turned quickly and walked out of his chambers, heading straight to my room.The moment I stepped in, my maids turned to me with wide eyes."You look happy, my lady," Isis said, stepping forward."I have good news," I said, barely able to hold it in.
