He had seen the way she behaved around her, the jealousy in her eyes whenever Mira challenged her, and the hatred she tried so desperately to disguise behind her innocent expressions.And yet, everyone was expected to believe that Mira had simply lost her balance and fallen down the stairs.Jack wasn't stupid. He knew a lie when he heard one, and the maid's testimony had done nothing to convince him otherwise.He pushed the book he had been pretending to read away from him and stood up abruptly. He couldn't stay there any longer.Sitting around while Mira lay unconscious, waiting for someone else to uncover the
Eugene hadn’t expect to see Becca in his study but he knew it was only because of Tyler.She looked at both of them.“What’s happening?” She asked.Eugene hesitated before answering.“Tyler was caught committing a crime and I basically gave him a deal. If he doesn’t leave the pack, he will be publicly executed” he explained.Becca couldn't believe what she was hearing. She stood near the door of Eugene's study, looking between the two men as she tried to process what had just been said.Tyler was going to be publicly executed if he refused to leave the pack? How could Eugene even consider something like that?She had known Eugene was angry about Tyler's presence in the mansion, but she hadn't expected him to take things this far.“Tell me I misunderstood you,” Becca said, turning toward Eugene. “You cannot possibly be serious.”Eugene's expression remained unchanged.“I'm afraid you heard me correctly” he said.Becca stared at him.“You're threatening to execute Tyler?” “I'm giving h
Seraphina returned to her room with a satisfied smile on her face.For the first time in days, she felt as though she had finally regained control over a situation that had been slipping through her fingers.Kaelyn had become a serious problem.Ever since she had started pursuing Alpha Eugene more aggressively, she had grown increasingly difficult to manage. She no longer listened to instructions, questioned Seraphina's decisions, and seemed determined to do whatever she wanted, regardless of how much damage it might cause to their plans.Seraphina couldn't allow that to continue. They had already sacrificed too much to reclaim their former position in the mansion. Desmond was still imprisoned, their enemies were becoming more suspicious, and every day that passed without progress made their situation more dangerous.The last thing Seraphina needed was Kaelyn making another foolish decision that would expose them all.And now, thanks to Mira's unfortunate accident, Seraphina had foun
“I'm telling you, this is a misunderstanding! I wasn't trying to cause trouble. I only wanted to speak to my friend!” He yelled.Tyler pulled against the guards holding him inside Alpha Eugene's study, his patience wearing thin.“Then why were you sneaking around the dungeon?”Tyler clenched his jaw. He couldn't believe he was wasting his time arguing with people who had already decided he was guilty. He had tried to explain himself several times, but none of them seemed interested in listening.His friend had betrayed him, and now he was being treated like a criminal.Wonderful.The study door opened and Alpha Eugene walked inside. Every guard immediately straightened.“Alpha King.”Eugene barely acknowledged them. His attention was fixed entirely on Tyler, who stood between two guards with his arms held firmly behind him.For a moment, Eugene simply observed him.Tyler returned his stare with an expression that made it clear he wasn't impressed.“Leave us,” Eugene ordered.The guar
Max had really not expected Becca to slap him.The sting on his cheek was nothing compared to the shock of what had just happened.Max stared at Becca, his eyes filled with anger.“You actually slapped me” he said.Becca's chest was still rising and falling rapidly.“You called me a whore” she said.“I did not call you a whore” he replied.Becca stared at him in disbelief.“You literally just said—”“I said you were behaving like one!” He yelled.Max's voice echoed through the hallway and Becca's expression hardened.“And you think that makes it better? “You have absolutely no right to speak to me like that” she shot at him.“And you have no right to behave the way you have been behaving!” He retorted.Max took a step closer.“You are engaged to Alpha Eugene, Becca. Yet every time something happens involving Tyler, you are there defending him. You are constantly worrying about him, trying to protect him, arguing with Eugene because of him.”Becca shook her head.“You see a few things
Alpha Eugene needed to be alone and no one could blame him for wanting solitude, after all, the mansion had become too chaotic.Everywhere he turned, there was another problem waiting for him.Mira was lying unconscious in the healer’s chambers after falling down the stairs. Kaelyn had been the one found beside her, which made Becca suspicious, yet Eugene still couldn't bring himself to believe that Kaelyn would deliberately push someone down a flight of stairs and then lie about it.It didn't make sense to him.Kaelyn might have been difficult, she might have been stubborn and overly attached to him, but Eugene couldn't imagine her becoming violent enough to attempt to kill Mira.And yet, there was something suspicious about the entire situation.Why had Kaelyn been there? Had Mira been arguing with her? Why had Kaelyn been standing beside her when everyone arrived?Eugene rubbed his forehead as he walked through the quiet hallway. He had too many questions and not enough answers.Mo
The air was heavy with the scent of blood and burning adrenaline, the numerous mass of smells twisting together until it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began. Two dominant auras clashed in the center of the arena—Alpha Eugene and Alpha Desmond—each movement a blur of claws, teeth, a
In the heart of the pack’s sprawling estate, the excitement was thick, an invisible current pulsing through the walls. Every hallway echoed with movement—warriors preparing, elders whispering, the young ones pressed against windows to glimpse the glowing horizon. Tonight, under the rise of the fu
The roar of the crowd thundered through the thick stone walls like a brewing storm. Eugene stood before a wide mirror, the muscles in his jaw tight, his chest rising and falling slowly as he adjusted the strap of his leather bracer. The intricate wolf crest of his family was etched into the chest
The room was too quiet. Seraphina had been sitting in the same chair for what felt like an eternity, her gaze fixed on the clock on the mantel. Every tick of its delicate hands seemed to mock her, each second stretching into something unbearable. She hated waiting. With a sharp exhale, she rose
