Tabitha’s POVMom stands in the center with her bouquet raised high. A cheer ripples through the crowd as the women push closer. I step into the back of the group, trying not to get elbowed.“Ready?” Mom calls out, smiling wide.“Yes!” several women shout back.She tosses the bouquet into the air. For a moment it spins above us before it tips toward Melanie. She lifts her hands and catches it with ease. Applause breaks out. A few women groan in defeat, but most of them laugh and clap for her. Melanie beams as her friends surround her.I head back to my seat. Arthur leans in. “Knew she’d catch it. My sister always gets what she wants.”The host claps his hands together. “Now it’s the gentlemen’s turn. Let’s see who catches the garter.”Emery stands near the stage with a grin that takes over his whole face. “Come on, you cowards. Get in there,” he says, waving the men forward.The Aldair brothers drag their feet but join the group. Evren steps in last. Emery winks and flicks the garter

Tabitha’s POVTwo days after the wedding, my mom and Alpha Emery set off from the Sharpe Hotel for their honeymoon tour across Europe. I also didn’t see my stepbrothers when I was eating my breakfast at the restaurant. I overheard that they left early in the morning after receiving a report of rogue activity somewhere on the island. With my mom and the stepbrothers out of the picture, I’m practically left behind at the hotel with only a few remaining Crystal Ridge Pack members and staff.I’m not sure how I’m supposed to entertain myself now. I mean, the Sharpe hotel offers a lot of luxurious amenities but I honestly feel out of place here. Arthur is also no longer around, so there goes my plan to chat with someone I actually know. It’s not like the members of the Crystal Ridge pack are eager to talk to me.Or at least, that’s what I thought. Because as I walk back to the hallway leading to my room, a group of familiar-looking people block my way. They’re definitely werewolves, alright

Tabitha’s POVThey didn’t give me any bread or water again aside from the one the guard delivered in the morning. And it’s already night. I am parched and my stomach is growling, demanding to eat something. I was so desperate and hungry, I settled for the brick-like bread I got earlier. It’s definitely a bad idea to eat it without water. I almost choked on it twice, and it only made me even more thirsty.The weight of thirst, hunger, pain, and despair crushes my spirit.They do not give me any bread or water after the guard’s delivery in the morning. Now it is night, and my mouth is dry while my stomach growls in protest. Desperation wins over reason, and I reach for the brick-like bread left from earlier. I bite into it, but without water it becomes a curse. Twice I almost choke, and each swallow leaves me even more parched.The weight of thirst, hunger, pain, and despair crushes my spirit.I drift in a haze between sleep and wakefulness. My body refuses to move, but I still sense ev

Evren’s POVThe car screeches to a halt at the naval base gate. Floodlights slice through the night, and a row of armed guards steps forward. Their rifles rise, steel glinting under the beams.“State your business!” One of them barks.I push the door open and step out. Their eyes widen the moment they recognize me. A ripple of panic moves through the line. They lower their rifles almost at once and they scramble like cockroach under bleach.“S-Sir Evren?” he stammers. “We did not realize—”“Forgive us. What do you need, sir?” another blurts out.“Open the gate,” I demand.The men fumble for the controls, but before they can move, a figure strides out from the checkpoint. Eli. That fucker. His navy uniform is pressed sharp, his Ops insignia gleaming on his shoulder. His presence alone halts the guards’ movements. At his side, Ava matches his pace, also in uniform.“To what do we owe your presence, sir?” Eli emphasizes the last word with so much mock flourish it sounds sarcastic.I’ve a

Reed’s POVWe leave Jace behind at the hospital. He stays to watch over Tabitha, and Ian volunteers to stay with him. Evren, Rye, Wilson, and I head back to the hotel. The air in the car is tense, each of us lost in our own thoughts, but I know what has to be done. If the elders are really framing her, then the truth must come out, and it starts with our own packmates.When we arrive, Evren calls everyone to his suite. The remaining pack members gather and they all look uneasily as they enter. I can see the worry in their eyes, the way they avoid looking directly at us. They must have sensed that we are not in a good mood. Good. I want them to know that we are not here to play any damn games, so they better not piss me off.Evren stands at the front of the crowd.“You all know what happened. Our stepsister, Tabitha, has been accused of damaging the Aldair family artifact. The elders claim they have proof. But before we accept any of their claims, I want to hear from every single one o
