CHAPTER 58.>>>>>For a few moments, Akira stood there, reflecting on what she had done. Despite Bethany's lengthy talks, she still wasn’t convinced that she had made the right choice. She couldn’t shake the deep guilt settling in her chest. No matter how hard she tried to convince herself that it was just for survival, she felt terrible about how she had chosen to live.From killing Thalia to now condemning two innocent slaves who had bothered no one and had nothing to do with her troubles, she felt trapped. They were about to meet their demise for something they knew nothing about. Three lives lost in just a few days… how many more would it take to keep her true identity hidden?How many more people was Bethany willing to sacrifice to ensure no one discovered who her friend really was? No matter how hard Akira tried to push it out of her mind—that she was just trying to survive, as Beth claimed—she couldn’t. Her chest felt heavy with the realization that she was now a murderer. She
CHAPTER 57>>>>>“My lord, please, you need to believe me! We have nothing to do with the blood-stained sheets.”“Those blood stains are not ours. Please, my lord, you need to hear me out.” One of the slaves crawled toward Dominus, but before she could reach him, Madam Estelle intentionally matched her hands.The slave winced in pain, instantly pulling her hands back and aborting her mission to crawl to Prince Dominus.“My lord, I'm pretty sure of what Lyra saw,” Madam Estelle said. “You need to believe Lyra; she would never lie about things like this. I swear on my life she would never lie about such matters… what does she have to gain?”Dominus looked down at the she-wolves begging him. Their tears moved him, but not as much as his need to restore the beast Alpha to his normal self. The shaman had made it known that a purebred used as a blood host would help prevent the Alpha from going wild, as well as keep the wild ones from becoming a nuisance in the pack.In the case of the beas
CHAPTER 56.>>>>>Akira and Beth quietly made their way back to the kitchen.“So tell me, Nia, how the hell did you get there?” Bethany asked, still confused. “We just ate a royal breakfast… how the fuck did you do that?”Akira's lips curled into a small smile. “Don't you think it's too early to start gossiping?”“Don't worry; I will give you the breakdown after our morning chores. Let's run along before Madam Estelle starts to bark like a damn dog!”With that, the two girls ran along, heading to the kitchen and taking the shorter route through the pack house so they could get there as fast as possible.But as they turned leading to the kitchen, Akira and Beth were forced to halt immediately when they saw Madam Estelle and Prince Dominus standing in the hallway. At first, they thought it was just the two of them, but looking up, they realized it was actually a cluster of people. Akira narrowed her eyes and noticed Brevin, Lyra, and some other slaves all clustered together.At first, s
CHAPTER 55>>>>BETA RAGNAR.Inside Beta Ragnar's quarters, Prince Dominus sat in a chair close to his uncle as he watched them nurse his injuries. He strained his eyes, examining it; it was the first time he was seeing the beast at work, hurting someone.The last person anyone would have expected the beast to attack was Beta Ragnar. Almost everyone who knew of the beast understood that he had a soft spot for his brother. But seeing the blisters and deep wounds all over his body made Prince Dominus nervous.Next, the sound of the door opening snapped Dominus from his concentration. When he turned, it was Brevin.Once Brevin walked in, he scrunched his nose in disgust. The room smelled of burnt flesh and crushed herbs. Meanwhile, Beta Ragnar lay half-propped on the furs, his face slick with sweat and his breathing coming in jerks. His chest rose and fell heavily. The blisters spread across his ribs and shoulders where the beast had held him. They were both ugly and red, some still crack
CHAPTER 54>>>>>>Gilly paused immediately when Captain Zain walked into the room.Everyone in the northern pack knew him as Prince Dominus's right-hand man. Despite not being a native of the pack, Dominus was so used to him that it aided the people's affection for him.Once Gilly saw him, her lips curved into a satisfying smirk. She quickly forced a smile.“Captain Zain! You came just at the right time!” she cheered, rearranging her face into a polite, innocent smile. “You won't believe what I just saw when I came in to help pack up the dishes.”Captain Zain's eyes flicked over her for a brief moment before sweeping across the room. His gaze fell on Akira, who was still seated at the table with her cheeks full of food, and then on Beth, who was standing next to her, her face plastered with fear. He narrowed his gaze back to Gilly when he didn’t see anything that caught his attention.“That one!” Gilly pointed her finger at Akira, her voice rising with fake concern. “She snuck in here
CHAPTER 53>>>>Akira sat there a little longer after Brevin left, leaving her with a full table of food.The last time she sat at a table like the one in front of her was a decade ago, whenever she was at the home pack or at her aunt's pack for holidays. She usually joined for breakfast and dinner with the Alpha family.Akira ate the food slowly, her mind still reeling from what Captain Zain had just informed Dominus and Brevin.They had caught the girls they believed were of pure Alpha bloodline.She reached for a goblet of wine, taking a gulp to wash down the oysters in her mouth.If they had caught the girls in question, then it was only a matter of time before they started to question them, and the real truth would eventually come out.Her mind filled with different thoughts, each minute drifting away. Each bite of food started to feel tasteless in her mouth.She continued to eat slowly, but her mind wasn't on the food; Captain Zain's words replayed in her head over and over agai
