The Alpha's Ruined Bride 111
RonanIt was early in the morning, and I was making a decision that felt nothing like the measured, deliberate choices I prided myself on.There was a saying about not acting in anger, about sitting with something until it cooled into something you could hold without burning yourself. I had always believed in that, practiced it, built an entire leadership style on the principle that the worst decisions were made in heat.And yet here I was, standing in front of the Silverpine pack house at an hour when the grounds were still settling into the day, with something in my chest that had been building since I met Naledi.Beta Quinn approached from the direction of the main entrance, adjusting his stride when he saw me, and was quickly deciding how to handle it."Alpha Ronan." He bowed. "I had no idea you would be coming in today."Not that I had wanted anyone to know. "Alpha Kessa is in," he added, "but I doubt she knows you're here."I looked at him. He instantly kept shut. Whatever he ha

If anyone had told me that I would be standing here today, in front of the very man who had once been a source of guidance, I would have laughed in their face and called them a liar. But here I was, walking through the door, about to confront the truth I had avoided for so long. "You can do it," I whispered to myself, gathering every ounce of strength I had left. I knocked gently on the huge oak doors, hearing the familiar creak of wood on hinges. The door opened almost immediately, revealing the same girl who had always greeted me. She smiled faintly, but there was something distant in her eyes which has always been there, she was gloomy. Without a word, she gestured for me to enter. I walked in, my heart beating faster with each step. "Elder Marlow," I greeted, my voice steady despite the swirling storm in my chest. He wasn’t alone. Elder Henry sat beside him, and that instantly made me remember the conversation they had shared during the pack meeting. The unsettling way Elder H

Kessa Three days later, I felt so much better, and surprisingly, the bandage came off this morning. I was free to go about my day without the discomfort of it weighing on me. I stood by the dining area, the light filtering in from the windows, when I saw my mother walking in. "You look pale," she commented, concern in her voice as she looked me over. I flashed her a smile, the warmth of the morning sunlight making me feel somewhat better. It was definitely an improvement from a few days ago when I looked like a sacrifice that had been dragged to the altar. "You need to eat more. Thank goodness I asked them to prepare your favorite food," she added, her voice light, trying to bring some cheer to the atmosphere. It wasn’t even that late in the morning, but there was already a massive spread laid out before us. The sight of it made me laugh, though it was more out of discomfort than amusement. "This is too much," I mumbled as I looked around the table. There was enough food here t

Ronan I gulped down the last drop of whiskey in the cup, yet not feeling it in my system. It was as if I wasn’t even trying to get myself drunk. Fuck. Naledi had truly managed to mess up with my head, and unless I figured it out, I wasn't going to be good. I set the empty glass down, poured another cup for myself, and sat back in my chair for a moment, staring into the amber liquid. The thoughts in my mind were jumbled, Kessa, Aurora, everything was turning into a tangled mess. After a moment, I sighed, grabbed the glass, and stood up, deciding to visit Naledi in her room. I needed answers, and I had hoped that she'd be the one to give them to me. The way she had smiled when I entered earlier, her calm demeanor despite the chaos surrounding us, it made me wonder how much she knew. And I needed to know the truth, especially about Kessa and Aurora. I found her room easily enough and knocked softly on the door. A moment later, it opened, and Naledi stood before me, her eyes ligh

KessaFather walked into the room, forcing me to sit up because he was the last person I had expected to come in here. I tensed, my heart immediately starting to race as soon as I saw him. "Hello to you too," I muttered under my breath, trying to keep the bitterness from seeping into my voice.He took a seat across from me, his eyes scanning me coldly, like he always did. "I heard that your enemies are increasing," he began, his voice flat, "and it was about time that it showed."I didn’t respond right away, letting his words sink in. The tension in the room was thick, suffocating. This man, this monster, he had never been a father to me. He never cared about my well-being, never cared about my emotions, and certainly never showed any kind of affection.I swallowed hard, my body aching as I shifted in the bed, still recovering from the poison and the attack. "What do you want, Father?" I asked, my voice a little shakier than I would’ve liked.He raised an eyebrow at my tone but didn’t

KessaIt was the second day, and I felt so much better and less heavy. The nurse had already changed the dressing; it hurt, but I moved through it. The painkillers had helped a lot, and the swelling from the poison had started to subside. I could breathe easier, and the worst of it seemed to be over.Still, I couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling that something else was wrong. My mind kept drifting back to the woman who attacked me, the one who had slipped past all security and managed to get so close. The thought unsettled me. Why would someone want to hurt me? Why hadn’t anyone seen her coming?Beta Quinn was with me in the room, his presence reassuring, though his serious expression told me there was still much to discuss. He sat at the edge of the bed, looking at me with a mixture of concern and duty."You should be resting, Kessa," he said, his voice low and calm, though I could hear the underlying tension. "I know you want to get up, but you need to listen to your mother. It’s for

I laughed. Actually laughed out loud, a sharp, bitter sound that startled even me. Because of course. Of course this would happen today, of all days. The universe apparently had a twisted sense of timing.Erion was still giggling in the hallway, completely unaware that he had just soaked the woman

Kessa."You actually look better with you hair up." The trainer, whom had always waited to train other me commented.I felt the side of my cheeks burning. I couldn't remember the last time someone had commented me, not even my so called boyfriend or rather mate had done it. "What. Thank you." I res

KessaI didn't sleep.I lay on the too soft mattress in the too-clean room and stared at the ceiling until the darkness outside the window turned from black to the deep bruised grey that comes before dawn. My body was exhausted, every muscle still screaming from whatever last night had been, but my

"You were never marked."The words hung in the air between us like smoke I couldn't wave away. Dr. Hollins looked at me with something close to pity, and I hated it. I hated the fluorescent lights buzzing overhead, hated the antiseptic smell of the hospital room, hated how small my voice sounded wh
