ScarlettThe next morning, I woke up with a strange feeling of peace in my heart.For the first time in a long time, I did not wake up with the burden of wondering what Killian was doing, whether he was pleased with my work, or whether I had done enough to earn his approval.I simply woke up as myself.Scarlett.The Alpha of Moonlight Pack.The woman who had finally taken control of her own life.I sat on the edge of my bed for a few moments and looked toward the large windows of my new chambers. The morning sunlight poured into the room, illuminating the elegant furniture and the flowers my maids had placed beside the windows.My wedding was only four days away.The thought brought a small smile to my face.I was getting married to Dominic.Even thinking about him made something warm spread through my chest.Yesterday, he had called to ask about my preparations, and somehow, the conversation had stayed in my mind long after we hung up.I had never imagined that I would look forward t

ScarlettThe moment I saw the paramedics arrive, I stepped aside and allowed them to take control of the situation.Two of them quickly knelt beside Barrister Steven while another brought out a medical kit. They checked his pulse, breathing, and responsiveness before carefully placing him on a stretcher."Please, give us some space," one of the paramedics instructed.The crowd immediately moved backward.I remained where I was, watching as they secured Steven and lifted him into the ambulance.One of my guards approached me and bowed respectfully."Alpha Scarlett, shall we follow the ambulance to the hospital?"I nodded."Yes. Follow them, but do not draw unnecessary attention.""Yes, Alpha."I looked at Steven once more before turning toward my car.I could not explain why seeing him collapse had unsettled me so much. Perhaps it was because I knew him. He had been the barrister who handled my marriage to Killian. He was the man who had prepared the documents, explained the terms, and

ScarlettFor several seconds, I could not move.Killian's voice still echoed through the garden."This marriage cannot go on."The words hung in the air, followed by a wave of shocked whispers.I looked around.Guests were turning to one another, their faces filled with confusion."What did he just say?""Did he say Scarlett is his wife?""How can the Alpha of Moonlight Pack already be married?""Does Alpha Dominic know about this?"The murmurs grew louder. Even the priest frowned deeply."What exactly do you mean by that?" He looked at Killian with disbelief.Killian stepped forward.His expression was filled with confidence, as though he believed he had finally gained the upper hand."This marriage cannot take place because Scarlett is my lawfully wedded wife."A collective gasp swept through the garden.My heart pounded against my chest.I slowly turned toward Dominic.For one terrifying second, I expected to see anger in his eyes.I expected disappointment.I expected him to look

KillianThe moment the guards dragged me away from the wedding venue, I knew my life had just changed forever."Let me go!" I shouted, struggling against their grip. "Do you know who I am?"Neither of them answered.One guard held my arm while another pushed me forward. Their faces remained completely expressionless, as though my anger meant nothing to them."Take your hands off me!" I yelled. "I am Alpha Killian! You will regret treating me like this!"Still, they said nothing.The humiliation burned through me.A few minutes earlier, I had been standing before hundreds of powerful Alphas, elders, and pack leaders, believing I still had enough power to stop Scarlett's wedding.Now I was being treated like a criminal.The guards forced me into a black tinted bus."Get your hands off me!"One of them shoved me inside.I stumbled against the seat and immediately turned around."You will pay for this!"The door slammed shut.I rushed toward it and pulled at the handle.It was locked."Op

KillianI stared at the guard for several seconds after he delivered the news.Seven days.That was all the elders had given me before they expected me to leave the palace.Before another man took my throne.Before I lost everything I had spent years building.My hands tightened into fists.No.I would not allow that to happen.I rose from the chair and walked into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and stood beneath the cold water for several minutes, allowing it to wash away the exhaustion from my body.I had barely slept, but I refused to let anyone see weakness on my face.The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror.My eyes were tired, but I forced myself to look composed.I shaved, styled my hair, and dressed in one of my finest black suits. I adjusted my cufflinks and straightened my collar before staring at my reflection again.Then I smiled.It was not a genuine smile.It was the confident smile of an Alpha who had nothing to fear.That was wh
