Maia's POVEthan's voice softened instantly, becoming gentle and soft.He used to look at me as if I were his entire world, but now his whole world revolved around his fake sister."Lyra, be good. I'll come home as soon as I'm done here." His tone was tender. "Yeah, I'll take care of myself."He kept coaxing her in that soft voice, like she was some fragile child who needed constant reassurance."Ethan, the dress you sent arrived at the house today, and Maia saw it," Lyra said. "She got really angry and threw it out the front door."Ethan's voice turned cold. "Don't worry about it. I'll have someone send you a new one right away. I'll deal with Maia, and I won't let her steal your spotlight." The venom in his words made my blood run cold. "If she dares refuse, I'll make her regret it."My heart clenched in my chest."Lyrie, don't be sad. Just stay home and wait for me, okay? There are rogues prowling around, so you need to tell me before you go anywhere."He murmured sweet reassurances

Maia's POVEthan's body swayed, and he looked like he might collapse.He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Something was lodged in his throat.Lucian grabbed his sleeve and yanked hard. "Don't just stand there! Move!"That snapped him back to reality. He turned to Lyra, and his voice came out clipped. "Go home."Lyra reached for him with tears streaming down her face, but her fingers caught nothing but air.This was the first time Ethan had ever left Lyra behind for me.I watched him disappear, and my soul trembled.For one heartbeat, the Ethan who used to treasure me—who always put me first—he came back.The dungeon reeked of blood.Beta James handed me my phone. "Alpha, we found this in the corner. There's blood everywhere—the victim probably dropped it while trying to escape."Ethan's breathing quickened.His fingers trembled as he typed in his own birthday.The screen lit up.Lucian swallowed hard. "Maybe Maia just lost her phone and someone else picked it up..."Ethan nodded

Maia's POVLucian finally snapped. He gestured to two pack members, and they dragged Ethan out of the Moon Shrine's inner chamber.Ethan looked hollow. His eyes were empty and lifeless, like someone had reached inside and scooped out everything that made him who he was.Lucian raised his hand and slapped him across the face.The sound cracked through the hallway."Ethan Wells, wake the hell up!" Lucian roared. "Maia's waiting for you to get her justice! The killer's still out there running free, and you're gonna let her die for nothing?"Something flickered in Ethan's eyes. Focus. Finally."Your parents—Julian and Aurora—they're watching you from the Moon Goddess' side!" Lucian's voice got louder. "You think they'd be proud of this?!"Ethan lifted his head, and tears started streaming down his face.He grabbed onto Lucian and broke down like a child."Lucian... I screwed up. I'm worthless...""I failed them. I failed Maia even more..."Lucian sighed and patted his back. "Now's not the

Maia's POVAdrian dropped dead on the spot, and Lyra was taken into custody. Lucian was rushed to the pack's medical center, and the healers worked frantically to save him.Ethan interrogated Lyra all night long. "Who are you?" His voice shook, and I could hear the wolf in him fighting for control. "Why did you try to kill Maia?"Lyra just laughed. She wouldn't say a word."Don't think I can't find out just because you won't talk!" Ethan slammed his palm down on the table, and the wood cracked under the force.I watched him from behind the one-way glass, and for the first time in years, he was angry for me. His rage wasn't directed at me—it was protecting me.A pack member brought in Lyra's file and set it down in front of Ethan."Lyra Storm." He read the name out loud, and his voice went hollow.
