Chapter 21: You think a few nights with him suddenly make you untouchable?

Carlisle's POV I instinctively turned toward the source of the distraction, and in that split second, Marcus took advantage of it. His foot slammed into my side. I managed to block most of the force, but the impact still sent me skidding several feet across the dirt, my boots carving a long trail into the ground."Alpha Carlisle, I won!" Marcus declared smugly, brushing imaginary dust off his hands.My brows furrowed. It was not exactly a dignified victory, but a loss was still a loss. I said nothing and simply gave a small nod in acknowledgment, though I could feel a flicker of irritation cross my face.My gaze drifted toward what had distracted me. A woman was passing by, laughing beside a man. The sight made my frown deepen."C-Carlisle! Are you alright?!" Raquel rushed over, her hands protectively cradling her pregnant belly, her eyes filled with concern. She studied my face, clearly confused by the distant look in my eyes.When I did not respond, she called again, more gently th

Chapter 22: Maybe...

Victoria's POV Maybe… maybe he only gave in to his desire because he could not act that way with Raquel right now, not while she was carrying his child, I thought. And just like that, it felt as if a bucket of ice had been poured over me. The cold sank deep into my bones, tearing me out of the fragile belief I had been holding onto and forcing me to face something I had been avoiding for too long. I felt empty, drained. I had told myself I had already moved on, that I had let go, but now I could see that it was not true. Letting go was not as simple as I wanted it to be. Hearing Beta Marcus say that my mate had ordered him to take all the core projects away from me felt like a sharp blow to my chest. Was that not enough proof? Was that not him showing me I was being pushed aside and replaced? That I had never truly been accepted as the Luna of this pack, and that my place was already being given to Raquel? What else did I need to see? Those three days and three nights

Chapter 23: Are you alright?!

Third Person POV Gamma Sylas, always sensitive to her emotions as her bonded Gamma, the one meant to stand beside the Luna when her mate fell short, could feel how deeply Victoria was sinking into herself again.He noticed the way she withdrew more each day, how her presence felt quieter, like she was slowly fading into the background of her own life. Each time Beta Marcus entered her office with that cruel little smirk, anger rose in Sylas’s chest. Still, he could not act on it. Victoria would not allow him to.She always stepped in before things went too far, especially when Marcus made it clear he was not afraid to get physical. In trying to shield her Gamma from harm, Victoria ended up taking everything instead. Every insult, every humiliation, every sharp word meant for Sylas landed on her alone. She chose to carry it in silence rather than risk someone else getting hurt.The pressure on her heart stretched on for days. Then, almost without explanation, Marcus stopped coming aro

Chapter 24: Why had he not seen it?

Victoria's POV Raquel stepped in close before I could steady myself.Her arm slid around me as if she meant to support me, guiding my weight so I would not fall again. From a distance, anyone would have thought she was helping. Her face even carried that soft, shaken expression that made her look like she was barely holding back tears.But I could feel the truth of it.I tried to pull my arm away, but her grip did not loosen. It stayed firm, controlled, disguised as care. No matter how I shifted, she kept me right where she wanted me.Then she spoke again, her voice gentle, almost apologetic.“Let’s go downstairs and let the pack doctor check your injuries. I heard you are… wolfless, right? That means you do not heal on your own. Even something like this needs proper treatment.”She said it like she was worried about me.But I heard everything behind the words.Wolfless. Weak. Someone who needed to be managed. Someone inconvenient.To her, I was not just injured. I was something frag

Chapter 25: The pup is in critical condition

Victoria's POV “Ha… ugh.”The sound slipped out of me before I could stop it. It started as a weak, broken laugh, but it did not last. Pain cut through my ribs and forced it into a sharp groan. My hand tightened against the cold floor as my body reacted, every breath dragging discomfort along with it.The memory came rushing back again.Raquel’s setup. Carlisle believing it without question.The pack doctor had barely looked at me before I was dragged away like I did not matter. No treatment. No questions. Nothing. The piece of glass was still lodged in my knee, untouched, as if my pain was not even worth the effort.Now everything hurt at once.My ribs burned with every breath. My arm throbbed with a dull, deep ache. My knee pulsed where the glass remained buried, and my head still rang from the impact against the wall. I could not even tell which injury was worse anymore. It all blended together into one constant, overwhelming pain.I wanted to cry.I wanted to scream until my voic

Chapter 26: Justice

The situation weighed heavily on Carlisle, pressing down on him in ways he could not fully name. While all of his attention remained locked on Raquel and her condition, something else was unfolding across the pack without his knowledge. Word of what had supposedly happened spread quickly through the territory. It started with Raquel’s omega attendant and grew with every retelling, each version more certain, more angry, more convinced that Victoria had done something unforgivable. By the time it reached most of the pack, it was no longer a question of what happened, but a declared truth. In the cold, damp dungeon below, Victoria lay barely holding herself together. Fever had taken hold of her body, leaving her skin hot one moment and cold the next. Every part of her felt weak, her strength fading with each passing hour. The injuries from the stairs and the earlier punishment had not been treated, and now they only made everything worse. Breathing itself felt like a struggle. Instead

Chapter 27: How weak...

Marcus's POV I had already thought this through more than once. If Carlisle chose Raquel over Victoria, the outcome was clear to me. There was no real debate. Raquel was the Alpha King’s only daughter. With her came influence, protection, and resources we had not seen in years. That kind of backing could restore everything we had lost, take us back to the strength we once held before the pack fell apart after our former Alpha’s death.And in my mind, that fall had a starting point.Victoria.Maybe that was where my hatred truly came from. It was not only about what was happening now. It was everything that came before it. Deep down, I did not just want her gone. I wanted her to answer for what I believed she had taken from us.The former Alpha’s death had left a wound that never healed. We grew weaker after that, and weakness brought humiliation. Other packs stopped respecting us. They looked down on us, dismissed us like we were nothing.I remembered those days too well.I remembere

Chapter 28: A wolfless omega

Victoria’s POVWith a flick of his hand, he signaled one of the others.A moment later, a bucket of ice-cold water was dumped over my bloodied form, shocking me back to consciousness. I gasped, my body trembling violently from the chill and pain. My head barely lifted beforeCrack!Another lash tore across my back.My body arched from the agony, the chains rattling above me with a harsh, metallic echo that rang through the dark dungeon. The only light came from a flickering torch on the wall, casting long, wavering shadows across the stone floor. My silhouette frail and shaking looked impossibly small in the midst of the towering figures surrounding me.And Marcus was only getting started.Each time I passed out from the relentless torment, they revived me with another splash of freezing water. Again and again, the whip tore into me. And when my body teetered on the edge of death, barely clinging to life, Marcus would finally call in a healer not to save me, but just enough to keep me

Chapter 29: The darkness was cold

Victoria’s POVAfter all, werewolves were prideful creatures. Once a pack rose to prominence respected and revered by others losing that status was a bitter pill to swallow. To fall from power and become a source of shame, mocked and looked down upon by the very packs that once respected them... how deeply must that have wounded their pride?They couldn’t take it lying down. But since they couldn’t strike back at those who scorned them, they turned their frustrations inward toward me.After all, everyone knew even their Alpha despised me. So they didn’t bother to hide their hatred. In their eyes, I had become the perfect outlet for everything they’d lost.Sob... Sob..."L-Luna Victoria, please hang on..." the healer whispered, her voice so faint that the guards stationed outside the dungeon cell could barely make it out.Still, they frowned. Though they were clearly displeased by the healer’s plea, none dared to voice their discontent. In the pack, a healer held a status nearly equal

Chapter 30 : This is my duty

Victoria's POV Sylas's body shook with the strain, his knees almost giving out beneath him, but he refused to stop. The muscles in his arms and neck stood out sharply, veins raised as he pulled against the chains with everything he had. Sweat ran down his face, his jaw locked tight as he forced himself to endure the pain. One shackle gave way, then another. He kept going until, at last, the restraints snapped free. His hands paid the price. I stared at them in horror. They were red and raw, blistered and burned so badly they barely looked like hands anymore. "Y-Your hands..." I whispered, my voice breaking as a soft sob slipped out. My chest tightened at the sight. Those hands had always been strong, steady, capable. Now they were ruined by the silver, damaged in a way I did not know could ever fully heal. "Luna Victoria, please..." Sylas said quietly, his voice unsteady but determined. "I would give up my hands a hundred times if it meant saving you. This is my duty as your Gamm
