CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

THE ALPHA'S REGRET

Derrick POV.

I couldn't stop staring at the door, waiting for her to arrive.

Nyx.

My mate.

My second chance.

The rogue who'd appeared out of nowhere and turned my entire world upside down.

I pressed my hand against my chest, trying to ease the constant ache there. The mate bond had been pulling at me since the moment I first saw her, but last night during the full moon, it had become so unbearable.

When she'd rejected me in front of the entire pack, it f

    CHAPTER 23. A HARD CHOICE TO MAKE NYX POV. The hours until midnight crawled by.I tried to rest but couldn't. Tried to read but the words blurred together. Finally, I just sat in the dark, watching the clock, counting down the minutes.At 11:45 PM, I slipped out of my cabin.The guards had changed shifts at eleven, and the new ones were still settling in. I used the distraction to move quickly and quietly toward the storage buildings.The night was cool and dark. Only a sliver of moon provided light. Perfect for sneaking around.I reached the storage buildings and found Izzy already waiting, dressed in dark clothes with her hair pulled back."Ready?" she whispered.I nodded.We moved through the shadows, heading toward the eastern border. Izzy led the way, showing me the path she'd mapped out over weeks of observation.At 11:58 PM, we found a good hiding spot in a cluster of bushes that overlooked a small clearing. From here, we could see a narrow path that led deeper into the fore

    CHAPTER 22THE TURNING POINT. Nyx Pov. That night, I couldn't sleep again.I kept thinking about everything. Kaiser's ultimatum. Martin's suspicions. Vieve's surveillance. Derrick's pain.The walls were closing in. I was running out of time, running out of options, running out of strength.I got up and paced my cabin. Back and forth, back and forth, like a caged animal.There had to be something I could do. Some way to expose Vieve without Kaiser's help. Some evidence we'd missed.Then I remembered something.During the break-in, I'd seen Vieve's encrypted files on her computer. I'd photographed everything I could access. But there was one folder I couldn't open, it had required a second password, which I couldn't guess. What if there was something important in that folder? And we've missed out on that. And more than that... when we were searching her desk, I'd seen something strange. A second phone, hidden in a secret drawer. Not her regular pack-issue phone. Something else.An e

    CHAPTER 21DIVIDED LOYALTIESNyx POVI couldn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Kaiser's grey eyes staring at me. I heard his voice offering me a devil's bargain: help him destroy Derrick's pack, or watch my secret get exposed.Three months. He'd given me three months to decide.It had been a month since that meeting, and the weight of it was crushing me badly. I sat up in bed, wrapping my arms around my knees. The cabin was dark and quiet except for the sound of guards shifting outside my door. Even though I'd proven myself in battle, even though I'd saved pack members, Derrick still kept guards on me.Not to keep me prisoner anymore. To protect me.From Vieve.I looked at the decoded journal pages Kaiser had given me, hidden under my mattress. Proof of Vieve's crimes, written in her own hand. Everything I needed to clear Lora's name.But the price…The price felt greater than the reward. "I can't do it," I whispered to the empty room. "I can't betray the pack. I can't he

    CHAPTER TWENTY JUSTICE BY ALL MEANS. Nyx Pov. He looked at me with a disgusted look, hearing me call Shadowmoon's pack my home. "It's not your home anymore, Lora. You're dead, remember? You're Nyx now, a rogue with no pack loyalty." Kaiser circled me again. "Besides, think about it. Derrick failed you. He let you die. Why do you owe him anything?""I don't" I stopped. "It's not about owing Derrick. It's about the pack. Innocent wolves who don't deserve to be conquered""They'll be fine. I'll treat them well once Shadowmoon becomes part of Crimson Valley." Kaiser waved his hand dismissively. "Better than Derrick's been treating them lately. He's been so broken since your death, he can barely lead, he's now becoming a shell of his former self."Something in his tone made me pause. There was bitterness there. Old anger."You hate Derrick," I said slowly. "This isn't just about territory. It's personal."Kaiser's face went cold. "Of course it's personal. Derrick Stone took everything

    CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE ROGUE KING'S OFFER**Nyx POV**The letter appeared under my cabin door two days after we broke into Vieve's office.I almost missed it. I was heading out for morning training when I saw the white envelope on the floor, my name written on the front in elegant handwriting.Something about it made my wolf tense up immediately. A warning. Danger. Fear. I picked it up with shaking hands and opened it.*Dear Nyx (or should I say Lora?),**I know what you are. I know about the rebirth, about Elder Mergan's ritual, about everything you've been hiding from the pack.**Meet me at the old oak tree in neutral territory tonight at midnight. Come alone. If you don't, I'll tell everyone your secret. And we both know what happens then, you die. Permanently.**Don't keep me waiting.*The letter wasn't signed.I read it three times, my heart pounding harder each time. Someone knew. Someone had figured out that Nyx was actually Lora reborn.But who?And how?I thought about telli

    CHAPTER EIGHTEENENOUGH EVIDENCENyx POV. "Got it," Martin said urgently. He was holding a small leather journal. "Her handwritten notes. She didn't just keep records digitally, she wrote everything down too. Plans for the ambush, payments to rogues, everything.""Photograph the pages," I said. "We can't take the journal or she'll know someone was here."Martin started taking photos while I continued searching the computer.My phone buzzed. A text from Izzy: *Warning! Vieve's coming back early! 10 minutes!*"We need to go," I said urgently. "Now.""Two more minutes. I'm almost done with these photos""We don't have two minutes!" I grabbed Martin's arm. "Izzy says Vieve's coming back."Martin swore under his breath but kept photographing. "Just a few more pages""Martin”"Done." He put the journal back exactly where he'd found it. "Let's go."I closed all the files on the computer and shut it down. We did a quick scan of the room, making sure everything looked undisturbed.Then we hea
