DARRAGH’S POV

The car door shut with a solid thunk, sealing me in the cool darkness of the Mercedes Benz. I exhaled, rubbing at the back of my neck as the engine purred to life. The steady hum of the tires against the road should have been calming, but my thoughts wouldn’t settle.

From the driver’s seat, Beta Eamon Hayes, son of my father's own Beta, glanced at me in the rearview mirror. “We left early.”

I didn’t respond.

He smirked. “Is it because of the girl?”

My brows furrowed. “Why would it be because of her?”

Eamon scoffed, shaking his head as he turned onto the highway. “Because she’s an O’Callahan.”

Something in my chest tightened.

I turned to the window, watching the darkened landscape blur past, but my mind had already begun piecing things together.

In the future, my father had died from wolfsbane poisoning. It had been a quiet thought in my mind, something that had always lingered in the background but never fully settled as an issue. He had been old, battle-worn and vastly

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

    CIARA'S POVThe morning light painted the clearing with hazy gold when I squared off against Noah. My breath clouded in the cold dawn air. Around us, a small circle of sentinels watched, their faces a mix of curiosity and confusion. I knew what they were thinking: why was Noah, the most skilled fighter among them, wasting his time with me—the Alpha's daughter who'd never shown any real talent for combat?I wiped sweat from my forehead and tried to steady my breathing. We'd been at this for nearly an hour, and my muscles burned with exhaustion. Noah stood across from me, barely winded. His posture remained relaxed, casual even. It made my blood boil."Again," he said, gesturing for me to attack.I lunged forward, aiming for his midsection. Noah sidestepped with annoying ease and hooked his foot behind mine. The world tilted, and I hit the ground hard enough to knock the air from my lungs."You're being predictable," Noah said, offering his hand to help me up. "And you're holding back."

    BRIGID'S POVI wasn't the kind of woman to forget. I liked knowing what cards to play and somehow I had forgotten that Saraphina Maychild was the daughter of Riona Maychild.The witch was unpredictable and I knew I had to think of something fast to keep my most important pawn in line.The second Ronan left, she moved toward me with a fury I hadn't seen on her in years. Eyes sharp, hands trembling, lips pulled tight like she was holding back an entire storm."That is my daughter," she hissed. "This wasn't the agreement. This wasn't it at all."I didn't flinch. Instead, I watched her with the patient eyes of a predator sizing up wounded prey. How delicious, this maternal rage. How useful. Perhaps my folly wasn't stupid myopia. This was a good thing. Riona was much more invested now."What exactly did you think our agreement was, Riona?" My words slid between us like a blade."I don't want my daughter in your politics.""This is our politics," I said, soft and steady. My voice never rose

    RONAN'S POVContent Warning:This chapter contains themes and dialogue that include incest innuendos. Reader discretion is strongly advised.My finger made slow, lazy circles on Ewan’s bare back. His skin was warm under my touch, smooth in the way I liked it. For a while, we didn’t talk. We didn’t need to.Then his voice came, soft and tired. “What now?”I didn’t stop tracing. “We wait. Mother will work something out.”Ewan turned to look at me, the corner of his mouth twitching. “We can still leave, you know.”I stopped moving my hand.He went on, “We don’t have to keep getting dragged into her games. We’re not children anymore.”I pushed myself up on one elbow, eyes narrowing. “Don’t be stupid.”His brows pulled together.“This—this politics—it’s all we have,” I said. “It’s what makes us useful. It’s what puts us in places of power. You think we’d get this far on sentiment?”He looked away.I sat up, letting the sheet fall from my body. I didn’t care that I was bare. He’d seen every

    CIARA'S POVThe forest was dark. The kind of darkness that felt alive, crawling across my skin with sticky fingers. My feet were bare, slicing against roots and thorns, but I kept running. I didn’t know where I was going. Just away. Away from them.A twig snapped.My heart stopped.Then I saw them.Ronan. Ewan. Brigid.They stepped out from the trees like they had always belonged to the shadows. All three of them held knives, silver catching moonlight like it wanted to mock me. I stumbled back, but they were already moving. Brigid moved first, her blade slicing my arm before I could scream. I kicked out, punched wildly, tried to run—but they surrounded me.The knives came down again.And again.Hot pain seared through my body. My blood hit the leaves, soaking into the ground like it belonged there.I was losing.I was dying.“Please,” I sobbed. “Please don’t. Please, I’m begging you.”Brigid stepped forward, blood splattered on her face like war paint. She plunged her knife into my th

    SARA'S POVI watched my grandfather leave the dining room first. The chill he carried with him vanished, and what settled in its place was heavy. Not grief, not fear—something worse. Alpha Bastien remained seated across from me, but his presence had already consumed the space. The moment Luna Dayo left, the air shifted. The candlelight suddenly felt dimmer. The shadows on the walls stretched longer.I stared down at my half-empty plate, pushing the last bite of bread across it with my fork. Every instinct screamed at me to stand up and leave, to slip out while I still could. I knew the signs. I had learned how to read the room early in this house. You had to, if you wanted to survive it.I stood slowly, careful not to scrape the chair too loudly.“Are you full?” he asked.My spine stiffened.“Yes.” My voice didn’t waver, but it sounded far away. Like it belonged to someone else.He stood too. His steps toward me were slow, deliberate. The faint scent of smoke and forest clung to him,

  • The Alpha's Betrayal: My Second Chance To Defy Fate   FIFTEEN

    DARRAGH'S POVThe second the bedroom door shut behind me, I tore open the verandah doors and stepped out into the night. The cold air hit me like a slap but didn’t do a damn thing to quiet the fire burning in my chest. I leaned against the stone rail, gritting my teeth, and let out a scream that ripped from my throat like a wild thing finally let loose.I hated this feeling.This powerlessness.This tight, suffocating rope that came with carrying the Byrne name while my father still breathed.I had tried. Moonveil had almost been different once. When I took over temporarily in my future, when he let go of the reins just long enough for the people to breathe, there was hope. I had cleaned up what I could. Stomped out his worst policies. Stood beside my wolves, not above them. But it didn’t matter. The damage he left behind ran deeper than I could fix in one lifetime.And now here I was. Back again. In this past. This second chance that made no damn sense.Except now I had Ciara.I ran
