LOGINDarknessPOV: KaelI stood outside the cell and watched the guards drag Sara inside. She was still crying, still shaking, and her body was limp from the beating. Her dress was torn and stained with blood. Her face was swollen. One eye was almost shut. She looked broken. Exactly how I wanted her to look.“Clean her up properly,” I ordered the guards. “I want her presentable. Wash the blood off. Change her clothes. Make her look human again.”The guards nodded and got to work. One of them brought a bucket of water and a cloth. They started wiping her face and arms. Sara flinched every time the cloth touched her skin. She tried to pull away, but the chains held her in place. Her eyes were empty. She did not fight them. She just cried quietly.I watched every movement. The way the water ran red down her skin. The way she trembled when they touched the cuts on her cheek. The way her shoulders hunched like she was trying to disappear. It made something dark and satisfied stir inside me. Sh

The Dogs and the Dungeon POV: KaelI stood in the hall after the ceremony had ended, watching the elders gather their robes and prepare to leave. The torches still burned low, casting long shadows across the stone floor. I raised my glass toward them and spoke clearly. “Thank you, all of you, for showing up tonight. Your presence means everything to me and to the pack. I appreciate your support more than words can say.”Elder Thorne nodded first. “You handled that situation with strength, Kael. You brought justice when it was needed. We are proud of you.”Elder Vara added, “You did what was right. That girl and her mother tried to ruin everything. You protected the pack. You protected your Luna. We thank you for it.”Elder Lir placed a hand on my shoulder. “Your father would be proud if he could see this. You showed leadership. You showed control. We console you for the stress this caused. It is not easy to deal with betrayal from your own people.”I smiled at them. “Thank you. I prom
The Night That Claims HerPOV: MilaKael’s voice rang out across the square, sounding all cold and final. “Take Sara away. Lock her up somewhere until I decide what to do with her.”I wanted to speak. I wanted to beg him to let her go. She was grieving. She had just watched her mother die in front of her. She did not deserve to be dragged away like a criminal. But the words stuck in my throat. I had already seen Kael’s wrath. I had seen what he was capable of. I had seen him kill without blinking. I had seen him threaten me in front of everyone. I could not risk it. Not now. Not when Sara’s life was already hanging by a thread.My mind screamed at me. This is wrong. This is cruel. This is not justice. But I stayed silent. I watched as two guards grabbed Sara by the arms and pulled her up. She was still crying, still shaking, still trying to reach for her mother’s body on the ground. Her voice broke into hoarse sobs. “Mother… please… don’t take me… I want to stay with her…”The guards d
The Kiss After The Kill POV: MilaSara cried out. “No! Mother!”Her mother shook her head. “It’s my fault. Spare her. Take me.”Sara ran forward. The guards tried to stop her but she pushed past them. She reached her mother and they hugged each other tightly, both crying, both shaking. Sara buried her face in her mother’s shoulder. Her mother stroked her hair. They held each other like they would never let go.I cried too. Silent tears. I could not watch this. I could not let this happen. I scrambled to my feet and ran to Kael. I grabbed his arm. “Please. Don’t do this. I will marry you. I will do whatever you want. Just don’t kill them. Their punishment isn’t fit for death. Please. I’m begging you.”He looked down at me. His face was cold. Then he tossed me away like I was nothing. I stumbled back, falling to my knees again.A guard stepped forward with a sword. The blade shone in the torchlight. Two other guards pushed Sara away from her mother. They held Sara’s mother by the should
Untold truthPOV: MilaThe square remained completely silent after Sara had said those two words. “I lied.” The sound of her voice was so small, so broken, that it felt like it sucked all the air out of the space around us. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard that I thought everyone could hear it. I stared at her, confused, while trying to understand what she had just said. One moment she had stood there and told the entire pack that Kael was the father of her child, that he had threatened her, that he had used her. And now she was saying she lied? My mind spun. The crowd stared at me too. Their eyes were wide, with their mouths open, faces full of shock. Whispers started spreading fast. “Why is she changing her story?” “One minute she accuses him, the next she says it was a lie.” “What is going on with her?” “Is she playing games?” The murmurs grew louder, moving through the crowd like a wave. Everyone was looking at me like I had done something wrong. Like though I was the one
