LOGINSoraya's POV:
I could not understand how Lily had managed to do all those things right behind my back. I admit, I underestimated her. She was not that stupid girl I had expected. That wretched bitch possessed hidden cleverness and an ability I had never guessed she held.
Every time I looked at her, my blood burned so hot I could barely think. That woman had stolen everything. She had stolen the resp
Sebastian POV"What on earth were you thinking? Why would you ever do something so foolish!" I spoke to Soraya with burning fury, the moment she confessed what she had done and why Noah had cast her out and severed their pack's alliance."Can you truly blame me? The entire pack adores him! Even the elders have been completely won over to his side!" she retorted defensively."Be that as it may! Why did you scheme all of this alone and never once tell me?" I replied, exasperated beyond measure.To tell the truth, I was seething with rage, aching to strike her for what she had done to Lily. This vile woman! If I did not still need her, I would kill her with my own hands. She had hired rogues to defile my precious Lily, driven by nothing but bitter jealousy and blind rage because every attempt she made to ruin Lily had failed.I wanted to wrap my ha
"Do not be afraid, you are safe now. I will protect you." That was the first thing Noah said to me when he rescued me.He wrapped his cloak around my naked body and held me gently, as though I were something precious and fragile that needed to be kept safe.Just when I had given up hope, when I thought it was the end, someone came for me like a knight in shining armor and didn't know I will be forever grateful for him.After those terrible two weeks in captivity, I was never the same again. The bright, kind, gentle Soraya I used to be was gone. I became cold, moody, and always angry. I was deeply scarred by everything I had endured. And I swore to myself, never again would I trust so easily and never again would I show mercy where it did not belong.I learned the hardest lesson of all. I learned that kindness and goodness are mistaken for weakness. There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who use others and those who are u
Soraya's POVI don't know if I am simply cursed with bad luck or if I was reckless and failed to plan carefully enough because Noah still managed to save that wretched bitch after all. I truly believed my plan would succeed without a single flaw but I was wrong. In the end the rogues I had paid failed completely. They even confessed and turned against me naming me as the one behind everything.I saw the fury burning clearly in Noah’s eyes when he stormed into the infirmary and I was truly terrified. I knew right then and there that he would have killed me if Lily had not stepped in and stopped him at that very moment.It tears me apart to know that the man I have loved all these years was willing to kill me just to avenge his worthless mate. This was the first time he ever laid a hand on me and it hurt more deeply than anything. The pain in my heart was far worse than the physic
When morning came, soft sunlight spilled gently across the bed. Lily stirred and turned toward me, curling closer, resting her head on my chest right where she belonged."What is it?" I asked gently. "Did you have that nightmare again?"She simply shook her head and gave me a soft, beautiful smile. That smile. It was like sunlight breaking through clouds. Who could resist such brightness first thing in the morning?"I am so thankful you came," she whispered, her voice quiet and full of emotion. "I do not know what would have happened if you had not found us.""I would always come for you," I told her, leaning down to kiss the top of her head. "There is nothing I would not do for you. Nothing is too great, nothing is impossible when it comes to keeping you safe. I would turn the whole world upside down just to make sure no one ever hurts you.""How did you know I'm in danger?" she asked, looking up at me with those gentle eyes. "And how did you find
She can wash away my anger with nothing more than a gentle touch and a soft look. No one else can do that to me. I realized then that she was the only one who could have reached through that blinding rage and made me see reason."Please," she said. "Just send her away. Banish her. Tell her she is never to return to this pack. Cut all ties with her and let her go."Slowly, I released Soraya. She stumbled back, coughing and clutching her throat, staring at me with wide, hurt eyes."Leave," I told Soraya."Gather your things and be gone before the sun sets. If you ever set foot on our land again, I will not show mercy. The alliance between Northern Reign and RedOak is severed from now on. I am cutting all ties with your pack," I said firmly, and there was no room for argument.Soraya opened her mouth as if to speak, but one look from me silenced her. She turned and walked away, defeated and afraid.The moment she was gone, Lily wrapped he
"One of them confessed, Alpha," he said, his voice low. "He said someone paid them. Someone gave the order to ambush the road and target Luna Lily specifically."My blood ran cold. Who would dare? Who would dare cross me and hurt my defenseless Luna?"Who?" I asked, already dreading the answer."It was Soraya," he replied.I stared hard, my heart pounding as fresh fury surged through me, hotter and darker than before. I never expected this. I thought that despite her feelings, despite everything, she would never go this far. I knew she was afraid of me. Or so I had believed."Soraya hired them," he continued. "She told them to hurt the Luna and violate her in exchange for money."Rage burned through me so hot it nearly blinded me. I wasted no time, I turned and walked straight to the infirmary where Soraya was being treated, along with Elias. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me."Leave us," I said, my voice low, heavy, and
