Tessa/Jessica pov.“I still don’t understand how Paige managed to be the mistress of the Silver Shadow tribe,” Fred said. We were all in Zane’s office, sitting across from each other.“Black Moon pack,” I corrected.“But they are with the Silver Shadow tribe?” he asked.“Yes.”“Have those tribes learned nothing from their last attack?” Tyson said, We all chuckled at his words.I still couldn’t wrap my head around everything. On one hand was Anastasia, and on the other was Paige. That man I captured would rather bite his own tongue than tell me who their leader was.“If she’s the mistress…” I trailed off.“Does that mean she’s getting a second mate? Eric has become a joke for anyone to respect him, talk less of the Silver Shadow tribe,” I added.“Not just that,” Ronald spoke up. “If Paige is the mistress, then she’s not acting alone. The Silver Shadow tribe wouldn’t hand her that title unless she brought something valuable to the table.”“Or someone,” Fred added. “Maybe she promised t

Zane pov.I needed a new potion. That was the first thought in my head the moment I woke up, and it followed me all the way to Fred’s office like a curse. By the time I got there, I didn’t bother knocking. I just pushed the door open and walked in.“I need a new potion.”Fred didn’t even flinch. He was hunched over his desk, white coat wrinkled, sleeves rolled up. The air smelled like burned herbs and smoke. His fingers moved fast, mixing something thick and muddy in a glass cup.“Hello to you too, Zane,” he muttered, still focused. “And no.”My jaw tightened. “I need a new potion.” My voice came out harder than I meant, so I tried again, quieter this time. “Please.”Fred finally looked up, one brow raised like I’d just confessed something ridiculous. “Did the mighty King just say please? Wait—let me write that down somewhere. This is historic.”I scowled, but didn’t take the bait. “Fred.”He studied my face for a second. Whatever joke he was about to make died on his lips. His hands

Jessica/Tessa pov.I’ve been keeping a close eye on Anastasia’s movements, and so far, nothing has seemed suspicious. She’s rarely alone, always with me or training with the warriors.For a moment, I allowed myself to relax. It’s only been three days and I wanted to rub it in Zane’s face for being suspicious of her.The white clan members were everything but a betrayal. I leaned back, letting the tension drain from my shoulders. Three days without chaos should’ve felt like a blessing, but my head wouldn’t stop spinning. If it wasn’t Anastasia, it was Paige. If not Paige, then the Silver Shadow tribe. And if not them, then the council itself.Sometimes I wondered if the real enemy wasn’t outside at all, but the constant suspicion eating us alive from within.And then there was Zane… gods, Zane. His moods were worse than a storm. One moment he’d look at me like I was his anchor, the next like I was the very thing dragging him under. How was I supposed to keep up with that?Fred kept w

Jessica/tessa pov.“Say that again. I dare you.” I pull out my scimitar, holding it where anyone can see, daring any of them to call my mate a monster again. I didn’t even have enough time to grief my closest friend betrayal before the white clan walked in. I have asked Ronald to excort them to the guest house, no one is leaving until I say so. And Zane? That wasn’t a lycan, he had transformed into a beast right in front of everyone.Is that what he’s been hiding from me? Not to see him like that? My heart ached at the thought of him being so insecure of himself around me. Does he think I will leave him?I should be furious with him for keeping something like this from me, but all I feel is a dull ache in my chest.If he had just told me… if he had trusted me enough.Instead, he’s standing out there alone, with everyone looking at him like he’s a monster. My mate. My king. He had looked at me with so much pain in his eyes before darting away. “You saw how he turned into a beast, t

Jessica/Tessa pov.“A visitor?” I asked, exchanging glares with Fred and Zane. Fred only shrugged, already half-turned toward the door. “I was in the middle of something before you came to drag me here. I’ll just get back to it.”I shot him a glare, then glanced at Zane, but he wasn’t giving me anything either, just that hard, closed-off look he’d perfected. My jaw clenched. Whatever this was, they were both hiding something.“Where are they?” I asked Ronald, not bothering to exchange words with Zane. He wanna be cold? I can ignore him just fine as well.“It’s a woman actually, she’s at the guest house”. I followed closely behind him. “About Ana?” Ronald murmured, carefully before looking at him. “What about her?” I asked, getting in steps with him. Wendell was more than willing to declare war on us if we dare touch a single hair on her head. I would have done the same if she hadn’t betrayed me and my pack. I trusted her and trusted Wendell more but the fact they all knew and refuse
