I made my way back to my room, grabbed my jacket and purse, and called for a car service on my phone. The pack had drivers available, but I didn't want to explain where I was going or why. Didn't want the gossip spreading before I even knew what was happening.

The drive to St. Mary's Hospital felt endless. I sat in the back of the car, watching the trees blur past in the darkness, Marcus's words echoing in my head.

Their health deteriorates. Organ failure. Internal bleeding.

Was that what Dr. M

  • The twin Alpha and the Wolfless one    Chapter 32

    Ariana povI woke to the familiar smell of the pack hospital and the steady beep of machines. My body felt like it was made of lead, every muscle aching, every joint stiff."She's awake," Kane's voice, rough with exhaustion.I opened my eyes to find both twins beside my bed, looking like they hadn't slept in days. Beyond them, I saw Dr. Morrison talking quietly with Morgana near the door."What happened?" I croaked."You had a seizure," Kade said, his hand finding mine carefully. "At the execution grounds. You've been unconscious for six hours."Six hours. I'd lost six hours to darkness.Dr. Morrison noticed I was awake and approached with Morgana. Her expression was grave, and I already knew what she was going to say before she said it."The stress triggered a cascade reaction in your body," Dr. Morrison said gently. "The cancer has spread rapidly. Much faster than we anticipated. It's now in your liver, lungs, and brain."Brain. The cancer was in my brain now."How long?" I asked, s

  • The twin Alpha and the Wolfless one    Chapter 31

    Ariana's POVThe baby was alive.I couldn't stop staring at him, I watched as his tiny chest rise and fall with steady breaths. This was the child I thought I'd killed. The baby whose death had convinced me I really was cursed, that maybe the pack was right to want me executed.Except he wasn't dead. He was very much alive."Is that...?" My voice came out barely a whisper. "Is that really him?"The man holding the baby approached slowly, a young woman beside him. They looked exhausted, like they'd been through hell. I recognized them vaguely from the store, but I'd never learned their names."You're Ariana Blackwood?" the woman asked.I nodded, unable to form words.She knelt beside me, tears streaming down her face. "You almost died because of my son. Because of what they said you did to him.""I didn't—" I started, but my voice broke."We know," the man said quickly. "We know now. Alpha Morgana showed us everything. The video footage, the evidence. What that monster did to our baby

    Kade pov The video showed the interior of the store. A woman with a baby carrier entered, browsing the aisles. But she wasn't alone. A man followed her, staying just out of frame, clearly tracking her movements."That man," Morgana said, pausing the video and zooming in on his face, "is Marcus Chen's nephew. The store owner's family member. Watch what he does."The video resumed. The man waited until the woman set down her shopping basket, then quickly opened the baby carrier and sprayed something into it. The baby inside jerked, clearly startled, but the mother didn't notice. The man disappeared before the mother turned around.Gasps rippled through the crowd."That spray," Morgana continued coldly, "was a concentrated dose of oleander extract. Highly toxic. Especially to infants. The baby died thirty-six hours later of what doctors called 'sudden respiratory failure.' But it wasn't sudden. It was murder."Elena's face had gone white. "That's, you can't prove...""I can prove everyt

    Kade's POV"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."Ariana's voice carried through the forest. Apologizing for breathing. Apologizing for living. Apologizing for being murdered.I fought against my father's hold with everything I had, but he was too strong. My shoulder screamed in protest, my muscles burning from exertion. In the distance, I heard Kane's wolf howling in rage and pain as guards held him down.We were both going to be too late.Ariana was going to die thinking we'd abandoned her.The pack's chanting grew louder. My father's grip tightened. "I'm sorry, Kade. I'm so sorry.""Then let me go," I begged, my voice breaking. "Please, Father. She's innocent. She doesn't deserve—""STOP!"A voice cut through the forest like a blade, so full of authority and power that even my father's grip faltered.Everything went silent, even the wind seemed to still.I knew that voice. There was only one person in the world who could command silence from an entire pack with a single word."Who ga

    "Because she's not just anything," I said. "She's brave and stubborn and fights every day against a disease that should have killed her already. She's taken abuse from your wife and pack without complaint because she didn't want to make things harder for Kane and me. She's dying and she's still more concerned about protecting us than saving herself.""That's not a reason to start a war.""Maybe it is." I stepped closer. "Maybe that's exactly the reason. Maybe fighting for someone who can't fight for themselves is what being Alpha actually means. Not politics. Not maintaining order. Not keeping everyone comfortable. But standing up for those who can't stand up alone.""Idealistic nonsense," Alexander said, but there was less certainty in his voice now."Is it? Or is it what you taught me before you forgot what being Alpha actually meant?" I held his gaze. "You taught me to protect the weak. To value justice over expediency. To make hard choices based on evidence and truth, not fear and

  • The twin Alpha and the Wolfless one    Chapter 27

    Kade's POVThe moment the guards took Ariana away, something inside me snapped.I stood in the empty council chamber, Kane beside me, both of us staring at the door she'd disappeared through. The air still smelled like her fear and pain, her resignation. She thought she deserved this. Elena had won. She'd found the perfect weapon."We need a plan," Kane said, his voice tight with barely controlled rage."I have a plan," I said. "I'm going to talk to our father.""Talk won't work. You saw him in there—""Then I'll make him listen." I was already moving toward the door. "He abstained from the vote. That means he has doubts. I just need to exploit them."Kane grabbed my arm. "And if he doesn't have doubts? If he really believes she's cursed?""Then I'll beat the truth into him."I found Alexander in his office, exactly where I knew he'd be. He stood at the window overlooking pack lands, a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking every bit the Alpha who'd just condemned an innocent person t
