All Chapters of Never Again!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Aarhea’s Point of ViewI stood quietly, staring at the folded parchment I had just pulled from under Jake’s mattress. My hands trembled, though not from shock. I already knew what they had planted. Still, I had to play the part.I opened the letter slowly.“My dearest,Our meetings give me more joy than any bond ever could. Aarhea will never know. You are the one I truly desire.”I let the words trail in the air, my voice cracking as if my heart was breaking.Behind me, Amara gasped loudly. “Oh, Goddess… Aarhea… no…”Logan stepped closer, his face full of feigned concern. “What is that?”I crushed the letter in my fist, forcing tears into my eyes. “It’s...” My voice broke. “It’s from Jake. To… to another woman.”Amara placed a hand on my shoulder. “I’m so sorry. I told you something wasn’t right, but I never wanted it to be true.”Roman crossed his arms, his expression grim. “This is more than betrayal of the pack. This is betrayal of you, Aarhea. Of your heart.”I shook my head viole

Aarhea's Point of ViewLogan leaned against the carved wooden table, smirking as his eyes followed me across the room. Amara sat close to him, her fingers tapping impatiently, while Roman stood near the window, watching the moon.Logan broke the silence first.“So, Aarhea, how are you holding up? Still crying over your traitor?”I lowered my gaze, keeping my voice soft. “It’s not easy, but I can’t deny what I saw.”Amara smiled sharply. “That’s good. At least you’re seeing the truth now.”Roman turned slowly. “You must understand, Aarhea, Jake was dangerous from the start. His bloodline,his silence,he was never loyal.” he said.I clenched my fists under the table, forcing tears into my eyes. “I trusted him. I loved him. And yet,” I let my voice break, “he betrayed me!”Logan reached across the table, touching my hand. “Then let me be the one you can trust now.”Amara’s eyes narrowed. “Logan!”But Logan ignored her. His thumb traced slow circles against my skin. “I’ll never betray y

The morning came,The council room was colder than I remembered. My stomach twisted as the guards dragged Jake inside.His wrists were bound in silver cuffs, his head lowered, his long dark hair covering half of his face.Even in chains, he carried himself with the strength of an Alpha, but the council only saw a prisoner.I wanted to run to him, to touch him, but I forced myself still. If I moved now, they’d call me weak.The High Councilor’s voice rang out.“Jake of Silver Fang Pack. You stand accused of treason, conspiring with rogues to bring ruin upon your people. Speak. Do you deny these charges?”Jake raised his head slowly. His eyes found mine first. For a heartbeat, the room disappeared. I saw pain in his gaze, but also a fire that had not gone out.“I deny them,” he said, his voice steady. “I have never betrayed my pack. Never.”Gasps filled the room.Logan stepped forward immediately, slamming the forged letters onto the table.“Then explain these!”He shoved one into Jake’

Aarhea's Point of View:While I am walking, I accross to Amara's Room, and heard conversation. I leaned on the door and listen.“You’re ruining everything with your little games! Flirting with her in front of me,are you insane?” Amara said, which made me smirk.“Relax, Amara. She’s falling right where we want her.”I tilted my head. I could not belive how idiot are they!“Falling for you, not the plan!” Amara hissed. “If she starts questioning!”“She won’t,” Logan cut her off.“She’s broken, vulnerable. And soon, she’ll lean on me instead of fighting. That makes her easier to control.”“Or maybe you’re just blinded by your lust.”"And what if I am? You jealous, Amara?”“Don’t play with me, Logan.”“Then stop pretending you don’t like it when I do.”“You’re infuriating.”“And you’re addicted,” Logan murmured.I pressed against the wall, hearing their voices rise, hearing the sound of their heated clash. My stomach twisted, not from jealousy but from grim satisfaction.They were celeb
