LOGINCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVEKNOX'S POV“You are hiding something from me?” I asked, shaking my head at him. I've known Jason for years, and I never doubted him. I had no reason to. I trusted him without thinking twice. He knows my every move, even the smallest details. He knows when my heart beats differently, when my wolf feels uncomfortable, and almost everything that goes on with me. And now, I felt betrayed because he had lied to me. Whatever the reason was, I couldn't understand why he had chosen to hide something from me, and that thought alone made my anger rise. “It's not like that, Knox…” he mumbled, but before he could say anything else, a guard interrupted us. “Alpha, the council members are arriving…” he announced respectfully. I dismissed him immediately with a glare before focusing back on Jason. “See, I didn't go to the hospital for a reason,” he said, but I didn't respond, giving him more chance to explain himself. “I went to Sasha… she was wounded, and I d
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOURKNOX'S POVI got the call from one of the guards, and I had to go to the basement alone. Jason was not around, and I noticed he hadn't been there either. What was he doing? I asked myself, a faint suspicion settling at the back of my mind as I made my way down the stairs. I walked down into the basement, and immediately I got there, the guards bowed to welcome me. “Alpha…” one of them greeted respectfully. “Don't stand on ceremony,” I said, waving them off. “Where's Corvin?” I asked, and one of them immediately led me toward his cell. I walked slowly, carrying the presence and authority of an Alpha with every step I took. As we got closer to the cells, different creatures that had been captured kept screaming at my presence in pain, while some hurried toward the walls, quietly avoiding me. They knew that whenever I was around, someone was about to die, and the fear in the basement was almost tangible. I finally got to Corvin's cell, but the scen
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREEMIREYA'S POVI took the car to where Jason was as my master's words kept playing repeatedly in my mind. “I didn't say he would die immediately, but he would lose everything slowly. Even a mere werewolf will look down on him.” The words flashed through my mind again as I remembered how he had explained how long the poison must have been in Knox's body. It had been ages. The poison could only have been fed to him by someone he trusted, someone who had enough access to get close to him without raising suspicion. Only Jason was trusted by Knox to that extent. I didn't want to suspect him, but I needed to ask questions. How did it get to this extent, and why had no one noticed anything before now? I wiped away my tears as I drove, my hands tightening around the steering wheel whenever another frightening thought crossed my mind. I tried to convince myself that Jason couldn't possibly be involved, but the more I thought about it, the more questions appea
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWOJASON'S POVI made an excuse to leave Knox at the house, telling him I needed to sort some things out at the hospital, even though I didn't have any injury that required treatment. I drove straight to Sasha's apartment instead. I got down from the car and knocked on her door, holding the medicine I had brought for her. I hadn't been able to look after her properly because I had been busy dealing with the mess those stupid rogues had created during the attack, and the thought of leaving her to handle her wounds alone hadn't been sitting well with me. After a few moments, the door opened, and Sasha's eyes widened when she saw me standing there. “Master?” she asked in surprise. “You're not going to invite me in?” I breathed, raising an eyebrow. “I'm sorry, please.” She quickly stepped aside and let me in with an awkward smile. I walked inside and looked around the apartment. “You've got a nice place…” I said slowly, glancing at the scattered clothes
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-ONEMIREYA'S POVI was able to dodge the attack, even though it was clumsy.“Ahh!” I screamed, jumping out of the chair I had been sitting on. My heart pounded violently against my chest as I stumbled backward and stared at the old man in disbelief. “It's me!” I yelled, raising my hands to show him that I wasn't a threat. The old man looked at me with a sinister smile, completely unfazed by my reaction. He was already aware of who I was, and somehow, the attack itself felt like a punishment for walking into his laboratory without warning. “I know, you brat! There's no way I wouldn't recognize my stubborn student!” he laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the basement. I breathed heavily, my eyes widening as I looked at him. “What? You are still this wicked?” I asked, trying to steady my breathing while glaring at him. He only chuckled as though my reaction amused him. “This is called training, dumbass. I thought you wouldn't remember me again. Sin
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTYMIREYA'S POVI couldn't sleep all night as I stared at Knox while he slept. How could an Alpha lose his sense of smell? Completely? The question kept circling through my mind, refusing to let me rest. I slowly took off his shirt, careful not to wake him. He wasn't bothered because it was me, and he probably thought I was merely looking at his abs, but that wasn't what I was doing. I was searching for any trace of a curse rot, or anything unusual on his body, but there was none. If there was no curse or rot, then how had his health kept deteriorating over the years? With the little knowledge I had of medicine, I decided to investigate further. I carefully wiped one of his wounds, intentionally staining a piece of white fabric with his blood so I could examine it later. I kept my movements quiet and discreet, my mind already racing with possibilities. Something wasn't right, and I couldn't shake the feeling that whatever was wrong with Knox had been deli
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURMIREYA'S POVWhat was he trying to say? What was he doing? My body froze as I stood so close to him, my perky round breasts pressed against his solid frame while my breathing grew uneven. The warmth radiating from him only made my thoughts more chaotic, and I hated how aware I s
