Chapter 1: Cruel Betrayal

Dahlia’s P.O.VI stood outside the door, staring at the ornate carvings like they were going to open up and swallow me whole. My fists were clenched so tightly my nails dug into my palms, but I didn’t feel the sting. All I could hear, over and over and over again—was her. The sharp gasp, the moan that didn’t belong to me, the muffled groan of the man I once thought would protect me from the world.Cade. My husband. My supposed mate. I could hear the bed creaking rhythmically, like a cruel metronome mocking me with every thrust.It felt like a scene out of someone else’s nightmare, not mine. A year ago, I had everything. My parents, alive. My title—respected. And Cade... Cade used to look at me like I hung the damn stars. He used to kiss my forehead and tell me he’d kill for me. Now I was the discarded shadow outside his door, waiting while he made a show of ruining what little pride I had left.Then, the door opened. Cade stepped out, still tucking his shirt in like he’d just returned

Chapter 2: Exposing the Betrayal

Dahlia's P.O.VFor a moment, as our gazes meet, I feel an unexpected jolt all over my body, a primal pull that seemed almost out of place.His eyes sparkle with warmth, and I was caught off guard by their intensity. It felt as if his eyes were boring right through to my soul, making me vulnerable in a way I had never felt before.The world melts away as our gazes lingers, caught in an intense, intimate dance that had me rooted to the spot. I had heard a lot about the Alpha King, about how he was scary and intimidating. But right then, intimidating wasn’t the only word that came to my mind. He was intriguing…an enigma, and my wolf howled in my mind, wanting to unravel the mysteries surrounding him.But then, he turns away, addressing the crowd surging toward him and whatever connection had held me in a thrall was broken. I breathe again, releasing the air trapped in my lungs."Happy birthday, Alpha King!" someone exclaims, and my mind is brought back to the present once again.I rememb

Chapter 3: Learning about Her

Killian's P.O.VMy eyes narrow in on her face, the woman who had knelt before me and so strategically exposed her husband’s infidelity. I had noticed the smirk playing on her lips moments before her expression crumbled into one of despair as she looked up at her stuttering fool of a husband.Who is this woman? Where has she been all this time? Why haven’t I seen her before in any of my parties?As I gaze at Cade, memories resurface. He's the Alpha of the Forest Sentinels pack, notorious for his boastful nature and haughty attitude. Few Alphas can stand him and that’s why he is rarely called to my events.His arrogance has earned him many enemies. But after today’s incident, I highly doubt he would ever be able to use that arrogance of his again.I glance at the woman once again, unexpectedly drawn to her. Her brunette hair is in loose curls down to her lower back and the blue gown she worse compliments her sapphire eyes. Such an exquisite beauty…so much potential…"I need a short brea

Chapter 4: Eavesdropping

Dahlia's P.O.VAs I watched the Alpha king's retreating figure, I felt a mix of relief and suffocation. The ballroom, now seemed oppressive, the sympathetic gazes of the guests weighing down upon my shoulders. I couldn't bear the thought of their pitying stares, the whispers behind my back, or the awkward and awful attempts at consolation.I slipped through the crowds, avoiding eye contact, and made my way to the large set of double doors leading out to the hallways. The hallways were empty and even though I didn’t know my way around here, I still felt relieved. I didn't need their pity or their questions; I needed solitude, a moment to clear my head and recharge.As I walked farther from the ballroom, the music and laughter faded, and I breathed deeply, letting the fresh air fill my lungs, and felt my shoulders relax, my tension easing.No regrets, I reminded myself. Cade had broken our sacred vows, and he deserved every ounce of pain I'd inflicted upon his cheating ass and his outra

Chapter 5: Frozen Moment

Dahlia’s P.O.VI freeze, my breath catching in my throat, as I feel the undeniable hardness pressing against my hand. My entire body locks up, my mind screaming at me to move, to pull away, to pretend this never happened. But I can't. My fingers stay where they are, almost as if they're bound by an invisible force, as if something in me refuses to let go.A deep, strangled sound rumbles from his chest, and I finally dare to lower my gaze. Oh, God. The Alpha King’s massive erection strains against the fabric of his trousers, thick and long, its shape pressing insistently into my palm. Heat spreads through my face like wildfire, burning up my skin, leaving me mortified, confused—ashamed, even. I shouldn’t be feeling this. I shouldn’t be reacting this way. And yet, my body betrays me. A sharp pulse of arousal rushes through me, pooling low in my belly, making my thighs press together involuntarily. What the hell is wrong with me? I bite down on my lower lip, hard enough that I taste

Chapter 6: The Kiss of Temptation

Dahlia’s P.O.VThe kiss takes me by surprise—stunning me into stillness. It isn’t just the abruptness of it, or the way his lips move with such confidence against mine, but the sheer force of it, the undeniable heat that pulls me in, making my pulse pound like a war drum. Killian doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t falter. His fingers press into the small of my back as he pulls me down on top of him, deepening the kiss in a way that has my breath hitching in my throat.I should move. I should shove him away. But I don’t. Instead, I melt into him, unable to resist the sheer intensity of the moment. My fingers curl against his chest, feeling the strong beat of his heart beneath my touch, as if it’s calling to mine, syncing in a rhythm that I don’t understand but can’t ignore. It’s more than just a kiss—it’s something deeper, something raw and unrelenting.There’s something about Killian, something dangerous and intoxicating, and I know, even as I lose myself to him, that this is reckless. He is n

Chapter 7: Consequences

Dahlia’s P.O.V I feel my heart thrash violently against my ribs as I stare at Alpha Killian, his piercing green eyes—eyes that had been filled with something dangerously close to longing just moments ago—now nothing but cold, demanding ice. My breath catches in my throat, and for a fleeting second, I wonder what kind of wicked curse has wrapped its claws around him, stripping him of warmth and reason. But I push the thought away. It won’t save me now. I swallow, my mouth suddenly dry as I try to find the right words, the safe words, if such things even exist in this moment. The weight of his stare makes my skin prickle with unease, and I know I am standing on the edge of a blade, the wrong move capable of cutting me deeper than I can afford. If I lie—if I tell him I’ve never heard of the curse—will he see through it? Will he punish me for deceit, strip me of whatever fragile
