Lyra(Mia’s)POV

The days after his confession passed in a blur. I found myself watching him in ways I never had before. Not just as the Alpha King who ruled with iron command, but as the man who bore a curse that gnawed at his soul every night.

Every time he touched the syringe, my chest tightened. The wolfsbane burned him—I could see it in the way his muscles locked, in the guttural growl he bit back as the poison seared through his veins. Yet he never complained, never faltered. He bore it with the same grim discipline he carried into war.

And I….damn me….I started to care.

It crept in silently, uninvited, slipping past the walls I had built with such precision. A softness, sharp as a blade.

I noticed the lines of fatigue around his eyes, the way his hands trembled faintly when he thought no one was watching. I noticed how he avoided the east wing of the castle, where children played in the courtyards—too afraid of what his beast might do if it slipped free. I noticed how he lingered

    Damion’s POV The iron bit into my wrists, the chains soaked with wolfsbane, each breath a battle. My wolf snarled within me, clawing for freedom, but the poison kept him caged.Lucius paced before me, his grin sharp as broken glass. “Look at you,” he sneered, crouching low so his eyes gleamed level with mine. “Alpha King, reduced to a dog on a leash. Just like your father before you.”I growled, my voice raw. “Don’t you dare speak of him.”His chuckle was low, dangerous. “Oh, but I will. You think Anthony was some glorious leader? He was a fool. Too honorable. Too trusting. He never saw it coming.”My heart stuttered. “What are you saying?”“You wear your father’s crown, and you’ll die the way he did,” he taunted, voice low and sharp. “By my hands.”I snarled, tugging against the chains. “Don’t you dare—”“Oh, I dare,” Lucius hissed, leaning closer so I could see the madness in his eyes. “It was me, Damion. I killed Anthony. I cut his brakes myself. And then—” he laughed, bitter and

    Xander’s POVThe chains rattled, echoing through the dungeon like a death knell. Damion was on his knees, blood slicking his chest, his breath shallow but still defiant. Lucius had done his job well, breaking the mighty Alpha down until he was nothing more than a trembling shadow of power. And yet, the bastard still glared at me as if he could kill me with his eyes alone.But the real victory wasn’t in Damion’s suffering. It was in her.Mia.She stood frozen, her hands trembling at her sides, eyes locked on her mate. Her lips parted in a silent plea, as if her very breath was begging for him. I stepped behind her, my chest brushing her back, and whispered into her ear, “You stole from me. You thought you could outsmart me, ruin me… and now you’ll pay. With your body.”She stiffened, but she didn’t deny it. She didn’t even look at me, her gaze never left Damion.“You want him to live?” I hissed, dragging my finger along her jaw. “Then you’ll give me what I’ve craved for years. You’ll l

    Lyra(Mia’s)POVThe night bled silver, the full moon heavy above us, its light taunting in its purity while everything beneath it rotted. I knew something was wrong long before the rogues shoved me through the gates of the ruin. Their hands gripped my arms like iron, but it wasn’t their touch that froze me.It was the sound.The sound of a wolf howling in agony.My heart stopped. That voice—I would know it anywhere. Damion.They dragged me into the clearing, and there he was.Caged.Chains of silver burned across his arms, his chest, his throat. His wolf form flickered, half-shifted, his claws tearing at the restraints until blood streaked his skin. His eyes those crimson, cursed eyes met mine through the bars, and the rage there nearly knocked me off my feet.“MIA!” His roar rattled the air, shaking the rusted iron of the cage. “Get back! Don’t you—” His words cut into snarls as the silver seared him again.I lunged forward, but a hand clamped around my waist, pulling me back against

    Xander’s POVThe night air was sharp, carrying the scent of smoke and damp earth as I followed the coordinates Lucius had sent. The place was as abandoned as it was foreboding—a crumbled ruin at the edge of rogue territory, where no Elder would dare look for me.A fire crackled in the center of the clearing, its glow painting the shadows in hues of blood. And there he was.Lucius.He looked nothing like the stories whispered about him in the halls of power. His frame was leaner now, his beard streaked with gray, but his eyes… his eyes burned with the same hunger I had seen in Damion’s wolf. Except Lucius’s wasn’t tempered by honor. His was wild, feral, poisonous.“Alpha Xander,” he greeted, his voice a rasp, but dripping with mockery. “Or should I say… soon-to-be dethroned Alpha?”I bared my teeth, stepping closer. “You summoned me. Speak your piece before I lose my patience.”Lucius chuckled, shaking his head. “Patience. That’s exactly what I like about you. You still think you have

    Damion’s POV The rejection burned deeper than any wound I’d ever taken in battle.Her eyes, sharp and unyielding, had cut deeper than any blade. You’ll never have me, Xander. Not in this lifetime. Not in the next. The words echoed, poisoned, turning every heartbeat into torment.And then there was Damion.His wolf had nearly ripped me apart for daring to stand too close to her. I’d seen the crimson glow in his eyes, the way his claws curled like blades at his side. If she hadn’t stepped between us, I would have been dead by now. That wasn’t just protection that was possession. He was staking his claim in the most primal way possible.By the time I left Bloodhound pack, my hands shook with fury. My pride?shattered. My secrets? stolen. My reputation? hanging by a thread. If Mia handed those files to Damion, every deal, every alliance, every shadow I had built would collapse.And she had done it with a smile.This wasn’t about her anymore. Not about wanting her. Not about obsession.This

    CHAPTER 114Xander’s POV The discovery hit me like a blade to the gut.The files. The ones that held my leverage, my power, my empire were gone. A week of searching, tearing through every corner of my office, every guard questioned, every lock broken.My Beta swore he had seen them locked away in my study two nights prior the meeting with Mia. My Gamma checked the archives through, sweating bullets as I turned the room upside down. No break-in, no trail, no clue. Just gone.But I knew better.Those papers weren’t just numbers and lists. They were my lifeblood records of shipments, black-market contracts, the bribes I’d paid to keep certain elders loyal. Without them, my empire looked spotless from the outside, but a single whisper, a single leak, and it would all burn.Until finally, a whisper reached me. A single thread of truth.It wasn’t an accident. It was theft. A knife slipped under my ribsMia.She had stolen them.That damned woman had walked into my den, stolen the lifebloo
