My Alpha mate secretly marked me for three years. I helped him manage the pack as a Beta and even helped him successfully run for Alpha King. But after the successful election, he publicly announced that his Omega assistant Scarlett was the one who helped him the most. "I'm announcing that 15% of our territory will be placed under Stella's management. From today forward, Stella's position in the pack will be second only to mine." With two simple sentences, he'd erased twelve years of my efforts. But my mate thought I was making a mountain out of a molehill. "I just showed a little extra care for the pack's Omega," he said dismissively. "My body never strayed. You're acting like I committed some unforgivable sin." I turned and left, aborted our child and proposed a mate bond severance agreement. Then, I called a number that I hadn't contacted for 12 years. “I regret it. I am willing to be the Alpha of your pack.”
View MoreThe color drained completely from Grayson's face."You're such a busy man," Logan continued with mock sympathy. "So busy you didn't even notice your secretary's betrayal. Or your mate's medical procedures.""Lucky I took over those hunting grounds when I did. If Blackwater Pack faces a resource crisis, for Aria's sake, I might consider helping you out. But if other packs had taken them..." He shrugged. "That wouldn't be a joke."Grayson looked at me with such raw hurt.Three Months Later. Stella's ending came first, swift and brutal.After I'd exposed her betrayal to Logan, she'd been immediately expelled from Blackwater Pack. As an Omega without pack protection, she became easy prey in the harsh world outside.She spent weeks wandering from territory to territory, begging for shelter. Most packs turned her away—no one wanted a traitor. The few that took her in used her mercilessly before casting her out again.Her once-pristine appearance deteriorated rapidly. Her clothes became rags
I couldn't help but frown when I sensed Grayson's approach. The familiar scent of his cologne mixed with desperation hit me before I even turned around.I quickened my pace, speaking more urgently to my beta assistant."Make sure the northeastern boundary markers are placed exactly where I marked on the map. Any deviation could cause territorial disputes later.""Yes, Ma'am. What about the mineral rights survey?""Schedule it for next week. I want everything documented properly before we proceed."My assistant nodded and hurried away, leaving me alone with the man I'd once called mate.Grayson had been waiting for over an hour, I could tell by his restless energy. But surprisingly, his face didn't show the impatience it used to. Instead, he looked almost... broken.His usually perfect hair was disheveled. His expensive suit was wrinkled and mud-stained. Dark circles ringed his eyes like he hadn't slept in days.He approached slowly, as if I might bolt at any sudden movement.In his han
Back in his office, he pulled out his phone with trembling fingers.My chat window still showed no replies. Just his increasingly desperate messages hanging in digital silence.He tried calling again.Straight to voicemail.My voice, warm and professional: "You've reached Aria White. I'm unavailable right now, but—"He hung up before the beep, his heart breaking all over again.Remembering Logan's mocking words at least gave him a direction.If I'd contacted Logan, then Logan would know where I was.He called his beta subordinates, his voice rough with exhaustion."Find her. Use every resource we have. Check hotels, safe houses, anything. I don't care what it costs.""Yes, Alpha. What about the alliance meetings?""I'll handle those myself."Meanwhile, he had to salvage what he could of their crumbling partnerships.He went door-to-door begging their allied packs, swallowing his pride with each humiliating encounter.At Moonridge Pack, the guards looked him up and down with barely conc
Grayson's hand froze on the Pack House door handle when voices drifted through the thick wood."Manager White just left and our hunting grounds got taken. Think there's really something fishy going on?"The voice belonged to Marcus, one of his senior warriors. Grayson's jaw clenched, but he stayed silent, listening."Come on, Marcus. She's just a vixen trying to seduce the Alpha. What real skills could she have? It's all coincidence."That was Derek, another warrior Grayson had promoted just last month.His fists started to shake."Exactly!" A female voice chimed in—Sarah from the communications team. "Once Stella recovers and comes back, she'll definitely figure out how to get our hunting grounds back. She's the pack's real strategist—what's Aria compared to that?"More voices joined in, each one stabbing deeper."Aria's been nothing but trouble since day one. Always acting like she's better than everyone else.""Right? Just because she catches the Alpha's eye doesn't mean she's speci
Those words had terrified Grayson when I told him later. He'd lost sleep for weeks, paranoid that Logan would try to steal me away.Only when Logan was recalled to the eastern forests by his pack had Grayson finally breathed easy."Good riddance," he'd muttered.Twelve years. Twelve years of peace, and now Logan was back.And this time, he wasn't just making threats. He was taking action.Grayson's hands shook as he pulled out his phone. He scrolled to Logan's contact—still saved after all these years—and hit call.The phone rang once. Twice. Three times."Well, well," Logan's familiar voice drawled. "If it isn't Grayson Blake. To what do I owe this pleasure?""You bastard," Grayson snarled, his composure cracking completely. "Aria wants to dissolve our mate bond—did you teach her that?"Logan's laugh was rich and amused."Teach her? Gray, you really haven't changed. Still thinking women can't make decisions for themselves.""Don't give me that crap!" Grayson roared. "Logan, don't go t
"Alpha! Good news, the enemy retreated after taking the hunting grounds and mineral veins. We’ve found out their identity. It's a large wolf pack across the river. Their Alpha is from the eastern forests—last name Harrison. I heard you went to the same school when you were young. Do you know him?"Grayson's coffee cup slipped from his fingers, crashing to the floor with a sharp crack. Hot liquid splashed across his shoes, but he didn't even notice.His steps froze completely, his entire body going rigid. The color drained from his face as his brow furrowed so deeply it looked painful."What did you say?" His voice came out as barely a whisper."Logan Harrison?""Yes, that's him, Alpha. Did you two have conflicts before? He's never tried to take our southern territories before—this is the first time. Don't know where he got our defense maps."Grayson's hands started trembling. He gripped the phone so tightly his knuckles went white."The investigation into traitors will take more time.
