Callista’s POV~~THE NEXT DAY I can still hear Lily's voice in my head, like a catchy tune that plays over and over. Her remarks seem to have moved inside my thoughts and are now constantly repeating themselves. I can't seem to get rid of this nagging itch. "Fine! Go ahead and storm off. It's not like you care about what’s going to happen anyway." By that, what does she mean? What is going to occur that does not matter to me? She is undoubtedly trying to conceal something, but why? Why won't she tell me what's gone wrong between them so that I can perhaps help them work things out? All I have to do is keep this pack in check and work to bring everyone together in harmony. It bothers me that we haven't been on good terms with each other since that disagreement at her cabin. It's not meant to be occurring, and it's not what I wanted. We can't turn against each other, so I need to see her and work things out with her.“Babe, where are you?” I uttered through the mind link to Tristan, w

Callista’s POV~~ “Poisoned by who?” Tristan probed in his Alpha voice, which sent a cold shiver down my spine, and I could see fear written over everyone’s face as gazes traveled from one person to the next. The once lively atmosphere in the lounge took an abrupt turn, like a balloon suddenly deflating. A hush fell over the pack members, and all eyes locked on the maid at the entrance.It felt as if time stood still, each passing second stretching out like a taut rubber band. The air in the room grew heavy, as if a storm were brewing beneath the surface. The silence hung like a thick fog, suffocating any sense of ease. It was as if the room itself held its breath, waiting for the inevitable to occur. “Can’t you hear me? Are you deaf or what?” Tristan bellowed, irritation laced in his Alpha voice. “It was a warrior...” The maid’s face was glued to the floor. Her face contorted with fear. “Wa warrior Li Lily,” she stuttered. “What!?” A look of disbelief crossed my face. My eyes wid

Andrian’s POV “Look what we’ve found!.” My gaze traveled to the hand of the Wolf’s spy leader, whom Alpha Tristan had ordered me to call earlier. The leader had told me he could search my cottage for evidence to support what they had witnessed. I can’t stop them because they are carrying out Alpha’s order. It felt like a dark cloud was hanging over me. How the Shadowbane Elixir got into her closet still baffles me. How ? Did Lily really plan to poison Luna Callista? I bet that, because she can't, and I trusted her even though we just got mated. How does Lily even get to know about the potent poison? The only people who are in the right position to know about these potent poisons are highly ranked warriors, and Lily isn’t one; she is just a skilled warrior, but come to think of it, she is very close to Delta Elowen; she might have gotten to know about it through her, right? Or did Delta Elowen plan it all because they weren’t on good terms? The way she proposed that Lily should drin

Callista’s POV~~ It was like a raging storm of anger and resentment was brewing within me. Why on earth would Tristan go to that extreme to protect me? It is not just sitting right with me. The mere sight of him sent shivers down my spine as I struggled to comprehend the depths of his cruelty. I had to leave him all alone because he doesn’t feel remorse for what he has done. Is that how cruel and extreme Alphas can go to protect those they love? It now sinks into my head why Cassius had ordered my execution that night. Although he isn’t the Alpha yet, the decision to take someone’s life without an ounce of sympathy seems so cruel to me. Not knowing what to do because I couldn’t stand sleeping together with him in the same room and on the same bed, I stormed out of the room. I thought for a while, then decided to go to the Alpha's office in order to find comfort in my weariness and loneliness. The thought of Lily crept up in my mind. It felt like a searing ache gripped my heart

Callista’s POV~~ “Our Luna is not who she claimed to be!” What she has said hit me like a ton of bricks. My eyes widened in disbelief, my brows furrowed with confusion, and my mouth was slightly agape. I shifted my gaze to Tristan, whose brows knitted together, forming a slight frown on his forehead. “She is a spy!” she sneered with a knowing look on her face.What does she mean by that? A spy? Shock and suspicion appeared on the faces of the pack members as their eyes darted between me and each other, silently exchanging uncertain glances. with a condescending tone. “What do you mean that she is a spy?” Tristan shot her a puzzled look. “Yes, my Alpha, she is a spy from our rival pack, and I have evidence to prove it!” Her tone was unwavering and stern, allowing no room for uncertainty or indecision. . She sounds so sure of it.Whispers ripple through the crowd, like a gust of wind carrying murmurs of doubt and suspicion. Some have their jaws dropped, while others raise their br
