Chapter 9. Dark, Mysterious, Cold And Dangerous

I was suddenly feeling irritated.
Betrayal like that cut deep. Deeper than any physical wound.
It settled in my bones like poison, filling me with cold fury and aching sorrow.
I wanted to scream— scream at the sky, at the universe, at the people who had turned their backs on me .
But no sound came.
Instead, memories played like a cruel movie behind my eyelids.
The feeling of drowning.
The silence that followed.
I thought about the river again.
Falling into darkness, feeling the river's icy grip wrapping around me like a coffin.
And yet somehow I woke up.
How could I have survived that? Liam and Ria had tried so hard to erase me— like I was nothing but a mistake, a threat to be disposed of.
What did I do exactly to deserve that?
The more I thought about it. The heavier the betrayal felt.
I guess people do not really have to do anything wrong to be hated or be cheated.
Ria, my own blood, had sided with Liam without a second thought. I know she liked fine men but why did she not go for him in the first place? Well… I think my sorrow made her victorious.
The man I wanted to marry, the man I thought cared, shoved me into the water.
And for what? Power? Control? Fear? Or just pleasure.
I hated them both with every part of me.
And I planned to give them the part the part of me that wouldn’t taste good
But I hated myself too for trusting Liam.
For believing that maybe, just maybe, Ria had a shred of loyalty left to me.
I had been so blind. I laughed and felt relieved when she came to my room and told me not to let her dad get to my skin.
My breath caught as I clutched my chest. The mate bond— the strange pull I felt with Kharo—was nothing like the cold , cruel deception I’d been dragged through.
It was real; it was alive.
And maybe, just maybe, it was the one thing keeping me tethered. A thread to cling to, a fragile hope.
The river was no longer just a place of death.
It was the moment I stopped being a victim; I stopped being a coward.
I was going to fight.
I was going to survive.
Because if they thought they could erase me, they had another thing coming.
I stood looking at the window once more.
The night stretched endlessly before me—dark, mysterious, cold and dangerous, much like the pack I was trapped in.
Rich people with dark secrets.
But I wouldn’t be a prisoner.
Not anymore.
A sudden knock on the door made me jump.
A young woman stepped inside— carrying a tray with food and water.
She smiled gently, her smile warm but cautious.
“I brought you something to eat,” she said softly.
I nodded, grateful for the kindness.
As she left, I swallowed a small bitter smile.
This was my new reality.
Strange faces.
Strange rules.
But beneath it all, I was still me.
Bliss. I’ve been shattered, and now…
“I was going to make the alpha, Kharo Anderson want me to stay.” I muttered to myself.
It was strange but that was the feeling I got.

The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 109. The Confession
BlissThree days later, I was finally cleared for light activity, and I made my way to the detention cells where Liam was being held.He was mortal now—just a man, without the nine harvested souls powering him, without Lycaon's backing. The cells held him securely, silver-lined and warded against escape.When he saw me, something flickered in his eyes—not recognition exactly, but acknowledgment of the woman who had destroyed him."Bliss," he said, his voice rough. "Come to gloat?""No." I stood outside the cell, keeping distance between us. "Come to understand. I need to know—why? Why did you do it? Was it just the power? Or was there something else?"Liam leaned against the wall, and I saw how defeated he looked now. Without the power, without the mark of Lycaon's ownership, he was just a man who had made terrible choices."I wanted to matter," he said finally. "I wanted to be more than the son my father sold. More than the tool Lycaon created. I thought if I could be powerful enough
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 108. The Pack Address
BlissBy dawn, I felt strong enough to walk to the great hall.I moved slowly, deliberately, aware of every warrior's eyes tracking me as Kharo led me to the raised platform. The pack had gathered—all of them, even Solas's resistance faction. Nearly four hundred wolves, waiting to hear from their Alpha about what had happened.The losses were written on their faces. Aria was dead. Eight other warriors were gone—harvested souls that had scattered into the void. The wounds were fresh, still bleeding.But so was the relief. The convergence had been stopped. Reality had remained stable. The world still existed.Kharo stood before them, and I watched him reach deep inside himself for the strength to speak."Lycaon is dead," he began, his voice carrying through the hall. "The ritual was broken. The convergence was stopped. The worlds remain separate. We survived."A murmur moved through the pack—part relief, part grief."But survival came at a cost." He paused, his hand moving to his chest.
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 107 : Medical Assessment
BlissAria's assistant, a young healer named Elara, examined me with gentle hands and careful attention. She checked my pulse, looked at my eyes, ran diagnostic magic through my body. I could feel her cataloging the damage, assessing the repairs my Cycle-born healing had already made, projecting what still needed to happen."You're remarkable," she said finally. "Most wolves would have been completely obliterated by that kind of power channeling. But you're healing it. Adapting to it.""Is she going to be okay?" Kharo asked from where he stood against the wall. He hadn't left my side since we'd arrived at the medical bay."Yes. But she needs rest. Real rest, not just sleep. Her body needs time to fully knit the damage. I'd recommend at least a week of light activity. No training, no strenuous physical activity. Just... recovery."I almost laughed. A week of rest felt like a luxury I couldn't afford. But I nodded anyway.Elara hesitated, then added quietly, "Aria would be proud of you.
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 106. The Immediate Aftermath
BlissI couldn't breathe properly.Not because I was physically injured—my Cycle-born body was already healing the worst of the damage—but because the connection between Kharo and me was still partially open, and through it, I could feel everything he was experiencing.His pain. His shock. His awareness of the mark burning on his soul like a brand.The mark of the beloved's death.The prophecy had been accurate. Mercilessly accurate.Warriors swarmed around us, checking for injuries, assessing the scene. Marcus knelt beside me, his face tight with concern. "Bliss, can you hear me? Can you move?""Yeah," I managed, though my voice sounded fractured. "I'm okay. Just... recovering.""Lycaon?" he asked, though he already knew the answer. I could see it in his eyes—he had watched the god die, watched the impossible become real."Dead," I confirmed. "Permanently. No resurrection, no escape clause. He's gone."Around us, the convergence point was a wreck. The stone circle was cracked, symbol
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 105. The Killing Blow
BlissLycaon's expression shifted from amusement to something darker. "What is this?" he demanded. "The prophecy said—""Fuck the prophecy," I snarled, and my voice was layered with Kharo's Alpha tones underneath. We spoke with a single voice then, our consciousness so intertwined that there was no separation between us. Thousands of years of separation and suffering and love all compressed into two words.The connection between us reached critical mass.I felt Kharo's eyes go pure black—not wolf sight, something deeper. He could see Lycaon's essence then, the fragile threads of immortality, the cursed magic that bound him to existence, the fundamental weakness beneath the ancient power.He understood, in that moment of perfect clarity, exactly where to strike."Now," I breathed, and I pushed him forward, giving him the space to act.Kharo didn't use a weapon.Magic erupted from his hands—raw, concentrated, the combined force of Alpha power and mate bond and love so profound it rewrot
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 104. Let’s Go Save The World
Bliss"How long do we have?" I asked."Twenty minutes.""Then we should prepare. Emotionally, spiritually. This was going to be unlike anything we'd ever experienced." I pulled back enough to see his face. "We needed to center ourselves. Remember why we were doing this—not just for the pack, not just for survival, but for each other. For the right to choose our own ending instead of letting destiny dictate it."Kharo nodded slowly. His hand came up to cup my face. "When did you figure this out?""Last night. When you were sleeping." I smiled sadly. "I was thinking about the prophecy, about all three options, and I realized—we'd been asking the wrong question. We kept asking 'what do I sacrifice?' But the real question was 'what do we sacrifice together?' And the answer was simple: everything we wanted, so everyone else got to want anything at all.""That's not simple," he said."No," I agreed. "But it was right. And after everything—after Ria, after Liam, after learning I'd been broug
