Chapter 60: Fading Bonds

Jay—POVSamantha Smith.What a fucking mess.My fated mate.The Moon Goddess's so-called perfect match for me -- an omega. Out of all the wolves in the realm, she had to go with Samantha.I had believed I could utilize her. That perhaps there was some latent strength I had yet to witness. But no. She was not merely useless, she was a liability. I treated her with clemency because the bond, though imperfect, had a hold. I had a weakness. But the weakness was solidifying.I would not allow one weak omega to destroy all that I had labored to create."She's pregnant."Dr. Evelyn's words were still ringing in my ears long after she had left the room. I hadn't spoken much, nodded once. She knew better than to stick around.I felt my hands shake slightly as I stood by myself. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, tighter and tighter.Samantha. My mate for fate.Pregnant.My pup.The idea made me feel ill.A pup with an omega. No, worse with her. That wasn't in my vision. I'd had an

Chapter 61: The Alpha's Shadow: Secret and Sacrifices

The air crackled with unspoken tension. Jay was up to something. For the past week, he'd been disappearing frequently, offering no explanation to anyone. As his supposed Luna, his sudden, unannounced outings meant I was left to fill the void, to manage the pack's expectations and his responsibilities. This morning, I'd risen before dawn, determined to confront him. I found him preparing to leave again."Jay, where are you going?" I asked, my voice carefully neutral, though a knot of anxiety tightened in my stomach. "Do you even remember that you have a meeting with the elders today?"He hardly looked at me, his attention apparently concentrated on fixing the cuff of his immaculately suited shirt. "I have urgent matters to see to in connection with my business interests. I instruct you to go to the meeting with the Elders on my behalf.""But Jay," I protested, my voice sharpening, "the meeting is about Samantha's pregnancy! It is about the future of the pack!"He turned then, his eyes

Chapter 62: Shadows in His Eyes

My legs quivered under me as I fled Jay's study, hardly noticing the corridor I was sprinting along. My eyes were blurring with tears and dizziness. I could hear my heart thudding against my chest, the pounding echoing in my ears. My hands were shaking like crazy, and the corridor wrapped around in my head like some kind of bad dream I was unable to shake.I made it to my room and slammed the door shut behind me, locking it with shaking fingers. I took a step back until I hit the bed and fell onto it. My thoughts were spinning, and there was only one dreadful thought in my head:Why is Jay looking for an assassin?The man I had trusted with every part of my existence… now going to kill me?It wasn't unbelievable. We had changed. He had a baby coming with Samantha—his real mate.I was no longer necessary. Just like before.Would he actually go so far as to kill me? Kill me to make way for his ideal future?A gentle knock on the door made me jump."Melody? You all right?" Mary's voice was soft

Chapter 63: Hard to Kill

I departed home at the break of dawn. I arrived at the mall shortly after sunrise, the city stretching its morning yawn. I had on a simple hoodie and shades, head down, as I navigated through the initial shoppers and security. Outside, it was an ordinary day, but within me, there was turmoil. I was not here to go shopping—I was here to locate Alpha Don Carter."Miss Melody?" one of the guards immediately recognized me.I nodded with a slight smile. "Is Alpha Don in?""Yes, he came in already. He's in his office."He led me through the mall's secret passageways.The elevator doors opened to the private wing's top floor of the mall. My footsteps sounded in the empty hallway as I walked to Alpha Don Carter's office. I had informed the others that I would be visiting my father, but I had no plans on seeing him today.No, I wanted to see Don—now.Jay's still lingered in my mind like a foul aftertaste. The way he gazed at me, touched me, and made me show him my love—while planning secretly to hav

Chapter 64: Through the Fall

Don's POVThe bullet ripped through the windshield. My driver fell forward, dead. His foot mashed down on the gas pedal, and the car careened wildly to one side."When the tire of the vehicle slipped after my driver was struck by a bullet," I grunted through clenched teeth, replaying each moment, "the vehicle slid down the side of the ravine…"The tires lost grip. Stone and dirt burst all around us as the car started its killing slide—skidding, bucking, rolling like a mad creature.Time shattered in that moment.I spun—and I looked.I saw her.Melody.She wasn't yelling.She was changing.Right there in the back seat, her bones breaking and knitting, fur pushing through flesh. Her body contorted in midair as the car rolled over.Her wolf—snow-white, shining even amidst the destruction—lunged forward.Shielding Melody.She wasn't shielding herself.She was shielding her human body.A raw snarl ripped from my throat.My wolf couldn't take it anymore.I let him emerge.My body broke apar

Chapter 65: Stranded Together

Melody's POV"I'm starving," I grumbled, my throat sore and infused with fatigue.Without a word, Alpha Don gave me some of the wild fruits he had foraged. I hesitated, looking at them warily. The hues were brilliant, some brilliant too, and my stomach knotted in uncertainty. They might be poisonous, as far as I knew. But hunger was eating away at me, more painful than fear, so I took a tentative bite.I genuinely had to get out of there.My skin was sticky with sweat and grime, my clothes stuck awkwardly to my skin, and standing over a half-naked man—even if the man was undoubtedly handsome—did not do it for me. Rather, it made me more apprehensive. I was not the type of woman who melted in the presence of a broad chest and abs of steel. Particularly not when the man was Don Carter—a merciless, egotistical alpha with a bad reputation as a womanizer and troublemaker.Honest to goodness, I didn't feel at ease.Most importantly, I didn't feel secure."Why are you looking at me like that?" he

Chapter 66: Shadow's of the Past

I was buried alive in darkness once more. My heart pounded furiously, pounding against my ribcage as a sour taste lingered on my tongue. I tried to thrash out of the choking black darkness, but my limbs seemed to be bound. My body refused to budge—frozen with terror and helplessness."Jay… Jay, please," I begged into the void. "You have to believe me… No!"I stretched out blindly, my fingers scrabbling through the heavy darkness. And then, out of the blue, a grubby hand closed over mine.I sucked in a breath, eyes fluttering open as awareness cracked down on me like an incoming tide. Alpha Don had my hand. Sweat dripped down my face, wetting my hair. My lungs burned for oxygen as I clung to his hand, shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. The stinging at my chest gradually eased as reality caught up with me. I was alive. And he had witnessed it all. I pulled back instinctively, withdrawing my hand as soon as I fully came to. I blushed with shame as I shifted to sit up. My muscles hurt, and

Chapter 67: Melody's Worth

My brows arched to my hairline in surprise. For a second, I didn't know if I should laugh or slap some sense into Don. Did he truly believe he could sweet-talk me into submission? My feelings vacillated between incredulity and amusement, and though I considered my options, the fact was—we were stuck here together, and he was dead serious.“Do you plan on forcing me into the role?” I asked, my voice quiet but firm.In life, I had no intention of being anyone's Luna—least of all a Luna Queen. Having gone through everything I had with Jay, I'd be the biggest idiot to trust a man so much as to let him claim me a second time. I learned my lesson the hard way. I would not let myself be used again, not by any man, no matter how good his intentions were.This time, my sole ambition was to remove my people from the Merlot Pack. After that, I'd be back in the Madison Pack. I wasn't merely a daughter of Alpha Andrew Madison—I was his heir. I would reclaim my rightful title of Alpha, rule with po

Chapter 68: Through the Wilderness

We spent the rest of the evening in conversation, the nightmare at last forgotten. The tension which had pursued me in the daytime was forgotten, and in its place was the soothing rhythm of talk and the intermittent silent laugh. There was something reassuring in the presence of Don—something solid, earthy, and reliable. I knew Alpha Don wasn’t dense or blind to the dangers around us, but even so, I was eager to hear his thoughts and plans. And because I already knew parts of the future, I could gently steer him in the right direction—warning him about what wouldn’t work, suggesting ways to strengthen what might.As night gave way to dawn, sleep finally caught up with me. There were no nightmares for the first time in what had felt like an eternity.I awoke a few moments later to the wonderful aroma of something baking. My stomach rumbled right away in protest. Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I sat up and stretched out in a long, melodramatic yawn. My joints cracked, my back hurt a l

Chapter 69: The Price of Obsession

Jay's POVIt just had to. It had to work this time.The amount of resources I threw into this job was staggering. I'd tapped every secret pocket, pulled every lever, and drained vaults that were intended to last the pack six years. All for that one purpose.It wasn't simple to hire warriors and trackers that had long forsaken the light and gone on the dark path—and it was certainly not inexpensive. It was like an attempt to fill a basket with water. Endless. Exhausting. Futile.Still, I persisted.Twenty-five assassins. All trained. All lethal. I scouted them out and paid them a handsome sum to work together for one reason: eliminate Alpha Don Carter. He was the most powerful Alpha in the South. So eliminating him—or at least crippling him—meant going to every conceivable resource I had. Even then, success wasn't guaranteed.If they could not kill him, I had established one thing—I needed them to cripple him beyond repair. I wanted him broken and battered and slinking away from Melody
