BRIGID’S POV

I didn’t light a candle. I didn’t open the curtains. The bottle on my table gleamed faintly in the dark, catching the light from the sun outside. I stared at it like it could solve everything. My last bottle. Just a little left. Barely a night’s worth. Maybe not even that if I got greedy. I hadn’t used it yesterday, even though it was my night with Dorian. I couldn’t risk wasting it if something went wrong. I told myself he wouldn’t come. Maybe he didn’t.

Or maybe the rumors had already started.

I pressed my fingers against my temple and leaned back in the velvet chair near the hearth. The fire had long gone out. I hadn’t called any Omegas to bring more wood. Couldn’t let them see me like this. Not now. Not when everything was so delicate. I needed quiet. I needed space. I needed Ronan to do exactly what we discussed. Fast and without mistakes.

If he faltered, it would all collapse. Him, Ewan, the servants, the records, the favors owed. Everything we built.

  • The Alpha's Betrayal: My Second Chance To Defy Fate   HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR

    EWAN’S POVThe main hall of the Brotherhood of Fir stretched before us like a tomb. Stone walls absorbed sound, swallowing the shuffling footsteps and nervous whispers as Alexis dismissed the other pledges with a casual wave. Their relief was evident. They were to look for coins. But not for us.Ronan's breathing had that measured quality it got when he was calculating odds. Arms crossed, shoulders set, he could have been carved from the same granite as the walls. Only the muscle ticking in his jaw betrayed him.Alexis savored our isolation. His footsteps echoed as he paced, each click of his boot heels deliberate. The lazy curve of his mouth promised pain, not the quick, clean kind, but something that would linger."Twins," he mused, rolling the word around like wine. "This is such a unique opportunity."My spine went rigid. Beside me, Ronan's stillness turned predatory."Your hazing should reflect your... bond." Alexis stopped pacing, fixing us with eyes that glittered with malice.

  • The Alpha's Betrayal: My Second Chance To Defy Fate   HUNDRED TWENTY THREE

    SPECIAL CHAPTER: EAMONThe Brotherhood of Fir house loomed ahead of me, all dark stone and Gothic windows that seemed to watch everything. My stomach was tied in knots, but not for the usual reasons. Most guys worried about hazing or making a fool of themselves during initiation. I was worried about finding a gun loaded with wolfsbane bullets before it could put a hole through Darragh's heart.Ciara's words kept playing in my head. One of the O'Donoghue brothers pulls the trigger. The image she'd painted was burned into my mind now, and I couldn't shake it. Darragh falling, blood spreading across his chest, his eyes going blank. The thought made me sick.I pushed through the heavy wooden doors and into the main hall. The place smelled like old money and older secrets. Dark wood panels covered the walls, and portraits of former elitist Brotherhood members stared down at us with disapproving expressions. About fifteen other guys milled around, all looking nervous in different ways. Some

    EWAN’S POVI waited in the hallway, leaning against the wall with my arms crossed. The stone was cold through my shirt, but I barely noticed. My eyes were fixed on Eamon and Ciara down the corridor. They stood close together, heads bent in conversation, and something about their body language made my stomach twist.Ciara's posture was rigid, urgent. Her hands moved sharply when she spoke, like she was trying to convince him of something. Eamon listened with the kind of attention he usually reserved for pack business or serious problems. The kind of attention that meant whatever she was saying mattered.I couldn't hear their words, but I could see the effect they had on him. His face went pale, then serious, then something that looked almost like fear. Whatever Ciara was telling him, it wasn't good news.My throat felt tight. I'd seen that look before on people's faces when they talked about me. The careful way teachers spoke to my mother about my "behavioral issues" in primary school.

    RONAN’S POVThe classroom felt like a tomb after Ciara left. Blood still stained the floor where Alexis had shot his own man, and the metallic smell hung in the air like a threat. I watched Sarah stand there, frozen, her face white as paper. She looked like she might collapse.Alexis leaned away from her, turning his attention to me. Those cold blue eyes locked onto mine, and I felt something predatory shift in his expression."You two are awfully close," he said, tilting his head. "Are you friends?"The way he said it made my skin crawl. I could smell his hunger from a mile away, that sick interest rolling off him in waves. Without thinking, I reached for Sarah's waist, pulling her against my side."She is my mate," I said, keeping my voice steady. "My fated mate."Alexis chuckled, and the sound was like glass breaking. "Wasn't that witch, Saraphina, your first mate?"My jaw clenched. "She was.""You sure are lucky." His smile was all teeth. "The goddess sure has her favorites."I fo

    DARRAGH’S POVThe suit felt wrong against my skin. Too formal, too respectful for what we were doing today. I stood in front of the mirror in my bedroom, fumbling with the black silk tie that refused to cooperate. My fingers kept slipping on the fabric, and the knot kept coming out crooked.Only one day had passed since Riona's attack. One day since I'd pulled a silver knife out of my chest and watched my father's murderer disappear into thin air. The wound was mostly healed now, just a tender pink line across my ribs, but I could still feel the echo of that burning pain every time I moved wrong.The funeral was going to be small. Deliberately so. I'd made that decision the morning after Mom and I had our conversation in the infirmary. No neighboring Alphas. No prominent Lunas. No grand ceremony with hundreds of pack members filing past to pay their respects to a man who didn't deserve them.Part of it was security. Riona was still out there somewhere, and the last thing I wanted was

    BRIGID’S POVI stared at her, my mouth dry. "What about it?"Riona gestured to the chair across from her with one elegant finger. "Sit."I didn't want to, but I also didn't want to find out what would happen if I refused. I perched on the edge of the seat, ready to bolt if needed."I killed Alpha Bastien fairly recently," she said, her voice conversational, like she was discussing the weather. "Something you promised me for the longest time."My stomach clenched. "Sorry, I am not a maniacal witch."Her eyebrows rose slightly. "Excuse me?""I plot and deal my cards wisely. I thought you would internalize that at least."Riona tilted her head, studying me with those cold eyes. "I did. Up until the betrayal."The word hung between us like a blade. I shifted in my chair, fighting the urge to look toward the drawer where I'd hidden the bottle."You are not sane, Riona. Not completely." The words came out sharper than I intended. "I had to protect myself, and do not act like you were not go
