    Max took a step forward, his gaze searching her face as if trying to find the person he once knew.“What are you doing here? What is all this?”he demanded, his tone rising. His eyes flickered briefly toward Mira.Mira inhaled slowly, her chest still rising and falling unevenly from everything she had just discovered.“This is her doing” she said quietly, though her voice carried across the tense hall, Max frowned.“What?”Desmond let out a sound and now, as all eyes began to turn toward him, it became obvious he wasn’t just surprised. He was… uneasy.Seraphina noticed it first.Her sharp eyes narrowed slightly as she studied him, her instincts immediately flaring.“Desmond, why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” she said slowly, her voice laced with suspicion. Desmond didn’t respond and that was answer enough.Ava stepped closer to Seraphina, her own gaze flickering between Skye and Desmond.“You know her,” Ava said quietly.Seraphina’s expression darkened.“Answer me,” she dem

    Eugene’s grip on Desmond remained firm, his hand still pressed against his chest, pinning him harshly against the cracked pillar but his gaze shifted toward the massive doors, where the sound of battle was growing louder by the second.Desmond, breathing hard, his pride bruised but not broken, also turned his head slightly, his expression twisting into something darker.“What is this?” Desmond demanded, his voice cutting through the hall like a blade.The murmurs among the crowd turned into panic.“We’re under attack!”“Who would dare—?”Desmond’s patience snapped.“ENOUGH!” he roared, his voice booming with Alpha authority.The hall fell silent instantly. Even the guards, who had been shifting nervously, froze in place.Desmond shoved against Eugene’s hold again, this time with renewed urgency.“Let go of me,” he snarled.Eugene’s eyes flickered back to him, cold and unreadable.“Why? So you can run?” he asked. Desmond’s lips curled.For a split second, something dangerous flickered

    Mira’s breath came out uneven as she stared at the woman before her.“Skye, what… what are you doing here?” she asked, her voice trembling between disbelief and anger. The name lingered heavily in the air.Skye didn’t respond immediately. She stood there, calm, too calm for someone who had just been cornered.Her expression was unreadable, her posture relaxed, almost as though she had been expecting this moment all along.Jack stepped forward slightly, his eyes narrowing as he studied her.“You heard her, answer the question” he said, his tone firmer now. Still, Skye said nothing and Mira’s hands clenched at her sides.Mira stepped closer, her anger beginning to surface fully now.“No… no, you don’t get to stand there and act like this is normal! You were supposed to be with the resistance, with Max and Alpha Eugene—” she snapped.Her voice broke slightly.“And now we find you here?” Sneaking around the mansion like some kind of—” she continued, her tone trembling with disbelief.“S

    Desmond’s back slammed harder against the wall as he struggled, the stone behind him groaning faintly under the sheer force of Eugene’s grip. He was pinned and Eugene was standing over him like a storm finally unleashed.Desmond’s fingers clawed at Eugene’s wrist, his strength straining, muscles tightening as he tried to pry the iron grip away from his throat but it didn’t move.His breathing grew uneven, sharp, his chest rising and falling rapidly as frustration began to replace his earlier arrogance.“You… think…this makes you king again?” Desmond rasped, his voice strained.Eugene didn’t answer immediately. His eyes were locked onto Desmond’s, dark and unrelenting, the fury within them burning so intensely.“This isn’t about the throne anymore” Eugene said finally, his voice low and controlled.His grip tightened slightly and Desmond’s breath hitched.“This is about everything you’ve done to my pack, to the resistance and to innocent people who never asked for your war” Eugene con

    The further Mira moved away from the grand hall, the heavier the silence became, a sharp contrast to the chaos below.The echoes of raised voices, the clash of power, the distant murmurs of a crowd caught between fear and fascination and all of it lingered faintly in the air, bleeding through the walls like a haunting reminder of what was happening just floors beneath them.Mira’s steps were quick, but controlled. Her senses were sharp, focused and every nerve in her body was alert.“I can still hear the noise. It’s getting worse” she whispered, her voice low as her gaze flickered toward the direction of the grand hall. Jack walked beside her, his posture steady, his presence grounding.“That means something big is happening, and knowing Alpha Eugene, he’s not holding back” he replied quietly.Mira swallowed, her chest tightened at the thought of Becca, Eugene and everything happening at once.Her hands clenched slightly at her sides.“I should be there, I should be helping them” she

    The grand hall had descended into chaos, but at its center, the world seemed to narrow into Eugene and Desmond and between them was Becca.Desmond’s arm was still locked around her, his grip firm and possessive as though she were nothing more than a prize he had already claimed. His fingers pressed into her side, holding her just tightly enough to remind her that she wasn’t free.The flickering lights from the chandeliers above cast shifting shadows across their faces, but there was nothing uncertain about the tension that crackled in the air.“Let her go.”Eugene’s voice was low, but beneath that control was something feral. Something that threatened to break free at any second.Desmond smirked, tilting his head slightly as if amused by the demand.“You’re in no position to give orders,” he replied lazily, tightening his hold on Becca just enough to draw a sharp breath from her lips.Eugene’s eyes darkened instantly.“Desmond, this is your last chance” he warned, his tone dropping e

    The silence in Becca’s favorite chamber thickened until it felt like the walls themselves were pressing inward. It was a silence that was not empty but full of raw emotions, unspoken truths, and the sting of betrayal that clung to every soul present. Kaelyn’s voice had been soft, almost trembling

    Alpha Eugene stood at the threshold of her bedroom, tall and commanding, framed by the dim light of the hall. His broad shoulders nearly filled the doorway, and though he didn’t speak at first, his presence was suffocating, as if the shadows themselves bent around him. His eyes, sharp as always, we

    The sunlight was lazy this afternoon, spilling through the tall windows of Becca’s chamber in gold threads. Alpha Eugene sat at the edge of Becca’s bed, tall and tense, his shoulders rigid beneath his dark shirt. His eyes, usually calm but always alert, were fixed on her, though not with his usua

    Kaelyn’s footsteps echoed softly on the floor as she walked beside Jack. Her face was flushed, her eyes wide but bright, filled with a kind of stubborn satisfaction. Jack, however, was the complete opposite. They stopped outside Kaelyn’s chamber. The light streaming in through the tall windows to
