Chapter Title: I Told Her Everything(Zarina's POV)The forest was quiet. So quiet that I could hear my heartbeat. My feet hurt. My dress was dirty. My hair was messy. But I didn't mind. I just wanted to find someone—anyone—who would be able to help me.I walked and walked until I spotted a small wooden cottage. It seemed to be very old, as if it had been around for centuries. There was a puff of smoke from the chimney. There was warm soft light in the window.My legs were shaking. I didn't know what was inside. But I didn't stop.I slowly pushed the wooden door. It made a small creaking noise.There she was.Another old woman. Sitting by a fire. Her back was a bit bent. Her skin was creased like wrinkles on old paper. She wore long grey hair in a loose braid, and her eyes—her eyes were deep, as if she had lived through many lifetimes.She stared up at me and frowned."Child," she said gently, "why are you weeping?"That was when I saw.I was sobbing. My face was moist. My lips were s

Chapter 73 : The Shift Begins – Asher's POVSunlight streamed into the room, bathing the room in warm, golden hues. I rubbed my eyes against the light, the warmth on my skin. For an instant, I believed I was still dreaming, the crushing weight of the past few days still lodged in my chest. But then I knew—no, it was real. The world outside was waking up, and so was I.I turned my head to the side and saw Zarina sleeping beside me. She was serene. Her brow was not furrowed in worry as it had been for days. She appeared. unencumbered by the tension and exhaustion that had weighed over her for so long. I looked at her for a moment, attempting to grasp how such a quiet moment could feel so meaningful. She'd done it—she'd gone and gotten something, some fix to everything, although I wasn't entirely sure how. I was grateful to her beyond measure for everything she'd done for me and our pack.I wished to stay there, beside her, for only a little while longer, but the weights of all of it sti

Chapter 75: CareZarina's POVI sat in the dark corners of our room, its quiet oppressing me with suffocating weight. My heart pounded, still fueled by the aftermath of the healer's revelation. My mind refused to stop repeating that moment the healer had uttered that none of the children belonged to Asher. Each word stabbed like a painful knife slicing deeper into my chest, and I had never felt more naked, more naked. How do I begin to make sense of myself now? What would I say to apologize when everything that was so broken?Asher, my love, the man that I loved above all else, was in the other room, his face indiscernible. I did not dare to look at him. I did not dare to confront him. I knew he would be thinking—doubt, incredulity, hurt. And I did get it. That he would possibly have thought I lied to him about his children—guilt pierced my chest.I could hear him breathing deeply, then he came towards me. "Zarina." His voice was soft but laced with desperation.I did not look back at

Chapter : The Complain Zarina's POVThe sun slowly crept through the room in the morning, but peace did not come with it.I was lying in bed when a loud knocking echoed outside the hallway. Before I even stood up straight, I already heard voices—stinging, urgent. Cara. Again.Asher's mother is here," one of the guards said by the door. I stood frozen in place. Why now?I came out hesitantly, tossing a shawl over my shoulders. When I got to the main room, there they were—Cara crying as if the world had ended, and Asher's mother standing next to her with a scowl on her face.My heart was racing. I knew this was not going to be good."Believe me what that girl did to me!" Cara moaned loudly, resting her head on Asher's mother's shoulder like a beaten victim. "She insulted me, embarrassed me! In the packhouse, no less!"Asher's mother turned her head in my direction, her face knotting up. "Is this true?" she demanded sternly.I felt the need to say something. I opened my mouth.But befor

Chapter Title: The Breaking PointAsher's POVThe council room was too quiet. I stood at the far end of the large table, arms crossed, my thoughts racing.The door slammed open, and five elders entered, their faces stern with worry and something more—anger.Elder Doran, the eldest of them, stepped forward. "Alpha Asher," he said, bowing. "We need to speak. Now."I nodded. "Go on."A another old man, Garron, slapped a sheet of paper down on the table. "The Red Moon Pack has withdrawn their trade agreement from us."I blinked in surprise. "What?""They said they won't be selling us any more medicine or riceburn food," Doran continued, his voice this time firmer.I advanced, taking the paper and scanning the message. The seal was clear. Official."They blamed you," Garron's tone escalated. "They charged you with embarrassing the daughter of their Alpha—in public. That you preferred an inferior, unknown girl to inter-pack harmony."My heart sank, yet my face stayed calm. "So they're going
