LOGINMy Alpha, Ryan Larson, had never once acknowledged me as his mate. On my birthday, I was kidnapped by rogues and poisoned with wolfsbane. I was still carrying Ryan's pup. In agony, I reached out to him through our mind-link. "Fiona had a nightmare. I only came to keep her company. You're pulling tricks again! It's disgusting," he yelled impatiently. My organs felt like they were being shredded apart. At that moment, I finally gave up all hope for him. With the last of my strength, I sent him one final message through our mind-link. "Ryan. Let the Moon Goddess be my witness. You will lose the one you love forever!"
View MoreEdgar reached out and gently stroked the mound of earth. Tears slipped down in silence.Ryan, who was like a hollowed-out shell, walked straight into the freezing lake until the water swallowed him whole.Edgar charged forward and dragged him back to shore. Ryan trembled violently, be it from the cold or pain. He kept muttering the same thing repeatedly. "It won't wash off. These hands. It won't wash off–"My soul observed him quietly.Did I hate him?Perhaps that feeling had already been worn away through countless disappointments.All I felt now was that his misery looked like a belated, meaningless performance.The days that followed became Ryan's slow, deliberate self-torment.He dismissed all the servants and locked himself in the side chamber where I had once lived, the very place he had never bothered to enter before.He read the diaries I left behind. He touched the unfinished werewolf doll I had been sewing for our unborn pup. In a single night, his hair turned gray.
Steve looked at Fiona. "You didn't lose your memory. You never did."Fiona lifted her head. She finally dropped the act.She laughed sarcastically."That's right. I never had amnesia." She stood up. The guards wanted to stop her, but Ryan gestured for them to stand down."I recall how the Blue Moon Pack invaded our territory. I remember how your father killed my parents. I remember swearing I would take revenge."She walked up to Ryan and tilted her chin to meet his gaze."Getting close to you. Pleasing you. Making you fall in love with me. It was all for today."Ryan slowly turned around. There was nothing left in his eyes but exhaustion."So Jennifer–""I killed her," Fiona admitted without hesitation. "I lured her to the lake cabin. I had the rogues torture her. I made sure she sent you a desperate plea before she died. Because I know you too well, Ryan. You're suspicious and arrogant. You'd never believe someone you didn't care about."She laughed until tears streamed dow
Steve's prediction proved accurate.Three days later, Fiona was supposedly attacked on her way to pray at Moon Goddess' Shrine.When the news reached Ryan, he was sitting alone in his study. He had been staring at the broken necklace fragment in silence for three days."Alpha! Ms. Jones has been kidnapped by rogues! She's at the edge of Moonlit Forest!"Ryan snapped back to reality. He shot to his feet, grabbed his coat, and ran out.Edgar followed close behind. His expression was grim.At the forest's edge, Fiona was being held by three rogues. Her wrists were bound, her clothes were torn, and there were dried tears on her cheeks."Ryan! Don't come any closer! They're using me to threaten you!""Shut up." Ken pressed a blade against her neck. "Ryan. If you want her alive, come here alone."Ryan stopped.Edgar grabbed his arm. "It could be a trap.""I know." Ryan's voice was hoarse. "But Fiona's in his hands."He stepped forward anyway.Fiona struggled and cried, "Don't! T
I forced myself against the invisible pull binding me to Ryan and followed Fiona into the woods.She moved with practiced ease, parting thorny branches until she reached a concealed cave.Three dark silhouettes were already waiting there. They were the rogues who killed me."Ryan's feeling suspicious," Fiona said coldly. All the sweetness was gone from her voice. "Edgar has the autopsy report and the necklace fragment."The leader, Ken Miller, frowned. "Wasn't the body handled?""Edgar conducted a private autopsy!" Fiona clenched her jaw. "Now Ryan knows she was pregnant. The timeline matches."Silence lingered for a moment. Ken suddenly laughed."Isn't that better? Knowing he killed his own pup will only make him suffer more."Fiona paused. "You're right. But he kicked me out tonight.""And the plan?""Unchanged." Her voice turned calm again. "My birthday next month is the perfect opportunity. During the chaos, you storm in and take control of the Council of Elders. I've alr
