Loud moans and the sound of bodies slapping filled the room from the recording. On the tape, Ralph was f**king a blonde girl from behind in the cabin near the northern border. Her face wasn't visible due to the camera angle, but the hourglass figure and the heart-shaped mark on her right hip were unmistakable. He recognized her instantly. Still, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
"Doesn’t she look familiar to you?" Blake mocked coldly.Kai heard a very familiar voice on the recording: "Oh, f**k. Harder. F**k me harder."It was unmistakably Jackie's voice.They both climaxed, and the girl stood up, her body and face now clearly visible. Jackie brushed some blonde strands from her angelic face. Her eyes were dark with lust, hungry for more.Kai was stunned. He checked the date on the tape. She had lied.

Darina was pacing in her room, puzzled and unsettled. One part of her was furious—Kai hadn’t even let her properly defend herself, choosing to believe his manipulative ex instead. That part of her wanted to pack her bags and leave immediately.But another part longed for Kai, searching for excuses, dreaming that he would come running to her now, apologizing, showering her with love.She had already patched up her broken heart after John’s rejection, and now destiny had dealt her another cruel blow. She truly believed she could be happy with Kai—that she had finally found love—but her happiness hadn’t lasted long.“She just fell into a trap. He’ll know the truth eventually,” Coral tried to soothe her.“I know. But he didn’t trust me. He thought so little of me—as if I could hurt a pregnant woman out of jealousy,” Darina cried, an angry tear sliding down her cheek.“I know, honey, but he loves you. Blake, too. They love us,” Coral said gent
Kai sat in his study, drowning in paperwork he could barely see. The ink blurred before his eyes—not from exhaustion, but from distraction.Darina.He hadn’t stopped by her room last night. He’d worked late and convinced himself he didn’t want to disturb her. Truth was, he couldn’t face her. The guilt gnawed at him. He missed her—missed her laugh, her warmth, the way she grounded him when his world spun out of control. And lately, he’d been drifting away, wrapped in grief and obligations. He needed to fix it. Before, it was too late.Before she slipped through his fingers, too.Darina was already awake, training alone before the women’s session began. Her limbs moved with precision, every dagger slicing through the air and burying itself in the bullseye with brutal accuracy. She was strong, but today, it wasn’t about skill—it was about distraction.Kai hadn’t come to her yesterday. He didn’t trust her with his pain, didn’t feel close enough to
The whole pack had gathered for the funeral of Bred and Ralph. The air was heavy with the scent of salty tears and loud sobbing. Larissa and Cassandra’s faces were red and swollen from crying—they had known Bred since they were pups.Reed and Kai were grieving, but trying to remain composed. Their mates stood beside them, gently tracing circles on their backs to comfort them. Seeing Bred’s body in the coffin shook Jackie. Once again, she was forced to confront the reality of his death. Jackie trembled and wept, and for a fleeting moment, she thought she saw Ralph’s face in the crowd, smirking at her. Her mother pulled her into an embrace—and Ralph vanished. King Lucas stepped forward and spoke: “We stand today not only in grief but in righteous rage. We have lost two of our kingdom’s sons—Ralph and Bred—too soon. This was no accident. This was murder.Before the eyes of our ancestors and the spirits of the dead, I vow: their deaths will not go unanswered. The coward hiding in the shado
In the morning, Darina went to the women’s training and was pleased to see that the number of attendees had already grown to over a hundred.She was especially happy to see Kelly, who was making real progress and looked more radiant than ever. “Luna, thank you for all your help. I did what you suggested, and the bullying stopped. I also feel like a different person now—stronger and more confident.” Darina smiled genuinely. “I’m so glad I could help. You know I’ll always be here if you ever need anything.” Tears welled up in Kelly’s eyes as she pulled Darina into a grateful hug. “Are you practicing to cuddle your enemies to death?” joked Amber, approaching the arena. Dressed in red leggings and a matching top, her ginger hair blazing in the sun, she looked dangerous—like walking fire. Her movements were smooth and graceful, almost feline. “She is a cat, silly,” Coral whispered to Darina with a smirk. Darina hugged Amber. “No, this is just our usual g
Jackie felt water droplets falling on her face and opened her eyes. Ralph’s cold body hovered above her, his skin bluish with purple bruises. She tried to scream in horror, but he covered her mouth with his damp, icy hand.“Hello, little sl*t. You thought you could run from me?” he sneered, his laugh sounding like the screech of a poorly oiled door.He leaned closer, pressing his disgusting, frigid body against hers. “I told you—I was just getting started. Soon you’ll join me in hell. Your days are numbered.”Jackie trembled in fear and disgust as Ralph kissed her earlobe. A wave of nausea slammed into her.He whispered, “I saw it. One week left before your execution. The truth will be revealed, and you’ll lose your pretty little head. Just one week... I’ll chain you to my side. You’ll be crawling for mercy I’ll never give. I’ll toy with your body, taunt you with pleasures you’ll
