The messenger bowed low, his voice steady despite the weight of his report. “Good afternoon, Alpha Lucas. Everything is going according to plan. Between yesterday and this morning, one hundred deaths have already been recorded.”Lucas’s lips curled into a slow, wicked grin. He wasn’t sure whether he should laugh or scream with joy at the news, but one thing was certain, satisfaction warmed him from the inside out. At last, everything was falling neatly into place.He raised the goblet in his hand, staring at the dark liquid within as though it were a jewel. Leaning back into his chair, he savored the moment.“This was faster than I imagined,” he mused, voice dripping with delight. “Father used to guard this liquid so fiercely, keeping it hidden from everyone. I never knew a single drop in a river could wipe out so many so quickly.”Across from him, Blaze shifted uncomfortably. His face twisted in disgust, his jaw tight as he stared at his Alpha with a look caught between loyalty and r

I inhaled deeply, bracing myself for the worst. I knew what I just did would start a war, but I didn’t care anymore. Lucas broke me. He shattered my trust, my love, and every piece of hope I once had. He wanted to kill me and my baby. He made it seem like he never loved me, like I was just a passing distraction, something to use and discard when he was done.My hands clenched into fists, trembling as I remembered the way he threw me into the ocean, without hesitation, without remorse. His cold eyes stared down at me as if all these years, he’d been waiting for the perfect moment to finally end me. And he did. Because the day he threw me into that river, something inside me died. Love died. Hope died. Care died. Trust died. All that remained now was pure, burning hatred.Suddenly, Damien’s hands grabbed mine, pulling me out of the darkness of my thoughts. I looked up, startled and confused. I didn’t understand why my body reacted so sharply to his touch. My heart raced, and I blinked r

My breath heaved as I squeezed my toes on the bed, sweat pouring down my forehead. My whole body trembled with fear.I had been running, or at least it felt like I had. The nightmare was so real, I could still feel the earth beneath my feet and the darkness swallowing me whole. I screamed, but the sound vanished into the night as a dark energy chased me through the forest. My lungs burned, my legs ached, yet I kept running until I dared to look back.That was when I saw her, the same woman I had seen earlier in the garden. Her eyes were hollow, filled with something ancient and terrifying. She whispered words that pierced through me like knives.“You are bearing the pack heir.”I jolted awake, gasping for air. My breathing sounded loud and heavy in the silence of the room. My heart pounded so fast I could almost hear it echo. I pressed my shaly hands to my stomach, trying to calm down, but my mind was spinning.Ever since I met that woman, my life had turned into a nightmare. I saw h

Chains of Truth“Here, Alpha Lucas. This is what we found,” Blaze announced, holding out a torn, dirty cloth, the same one Maddena wore the day she died.Lucas took it slowly, his fingers brushing over the rough fabric.“So… she’s truly dead?” he asked.Blaze nodded, his face lowered. “Yes, Alpha.”Lucas stared at the cloth for a moment, then smiled faintly. “Good. I hope you searched the ocean properly?”Blaze kept his expression sad, though inside, his blood boiled. “Yes, Alpha. Her coffin was destroyed by something dangerous. We even found pieces of her bones.”He waited for a reaction, a trace of guilt, sorrow, or regret. But instead, Lucas burst into laughter, the sound echoing across the hall.“Good!” he said again, laughing harder. “She deserves it! If only she were still alive, I’d feed her bones to wild dogs.”His eyes sparkled with cruel satisfaction. Blaze clenched his fists, struggling to keep his rage hidden.Lucas turned to a soldier nearby. “And what about the water?”
