Chapter 21: The New alliance

Zaden's POV It was a chivalrous offer that I couldn't refuse. He had presented it so temptingly that I had not pondered on the idea too long before giving in. But judging by how events had unfolded, it was clear things had not gone according to our agreement. Which meant, as far as I was concerned, the contract had already been breached. For the third time, my gaze dropped to the smartwatch strapped to my wrist. The seconds ticked by like a countdown to an inevitable explosion. My mood had darkened considerably, but I endured. After all, not every groom had his bride replaced at the last possible moment. When I finally looked up through the tinted window, I saw my bride being escorted toward the car, flanked with bodyguards. Her face was a mask of cold indifference, lips pressed into a thin line, and eyes looking like they could kill with a single glare. It seemed I might have underestimated her replacement. The chauffeur opened the door for her, and she slid into the

Chapter 22: Flashback

ENISA'S POV I waited for what seemed like hours; the sound of the waves was the only reminder that I was not in hell. I didn't know how long I waited... minutes, hours maybe, but it was awful. Seated there alone with nothing but my thoughts and the sound of my own heart beating. In that moment of weakness, I found myself reminiscing over everything that had happened that day. It all still felt like a dream. The part where it became a nightmare was when Olivia interfered. FLASHBACK “If you will, my lord, I can suggest an idea that will save us all from humiliation.” Olivia spoke, her gaze shifting to me. Serpent. That was the word that came to mind when my bloodshot eyes found her. It was bold of her to speak while Father was in such an abysmal mood. Father gave her permission to continue, and she drew in a heavy breath before saying, “Enisa can take Iris's place.” For a moment, I was trapped in a state of shock. But when I recovered, my first instinct was to

Chapter 23: A new home

ENISA'S POV. Silverstone pack The drive to Silverstone Estate seemed endless. For hours, the only sounds inside the car were the low purr of the engine and the occasional rush of wind slipping through the half-open window. My body ached from the events of the day, and my feet throbbed so badly that I had long since kicked off my heels and tossed them somewhere onto the floor of the car. I had begun to think the road itself had no end. Then the sharp blast of the horn shattered the silence. My head jerked up. Rising before us was a colossal black iron gate, tall enough to dwarf the surrounding walls. At its center were two intricately carved wolf heads, each one baring vicious fangs, their snarling faces locked together as if guarding whatever lay beyond them. I pushed myself upright in my seat, my toes blindly searching the floor for my abandoned heels, but my eyes never left the gates. A uniformed guard stood at attention beside the entrance. As our car glided past, he pr

Chapter 24: A new home (2)

ENISA'S POV.My shoulders sagged in an instant.Once again I turned my attention to the maid; I had no choice but to comply.My bare feet sank into the plush carpet as I trudged after her, my discarded heels dangling from two fingers. We retraced our steps through the grand hallway, our footsteps echoing softly beneath the vaulted ceiling, before turning toward the sweeping staircase.The climb felt endless.By the time we reached the upper floor, my body was heavy with exhaustion, and all I wanted was to be alone.The maid stopped before a pair of double doors.With a small push, the door gave way, and a cool draft washed over me."The master bedroom," she announced, her voice carrying the pride of someone presenting a treasured masterpiece.I stepped inside and halted.What I had not expected to see was three maids standing waiting in a neat line beside the bed.The moment they saw me, they dipped into synchronized bows.“Welcome, Mrs. Yaletti.”I blinked.For a second, I simply sto

Chapter 25: The Routine

Zaden's POV Silverstone pack. Like a shadow slipping through a sleeping forest, I prowled along the lonely path, gliding soundlessly between the trees. Dawn had only begun to unfurl across the horizon, painting the sky in muted shades of silver and pale gold. The woods still breathed the cool hush of morning, and every blade of grass shimmered beneath crystal beads of dew. I threaded deeper between the towering trunks, icy droplets brushing against my frame, soaking the fur along my shoulders and spine. Low-hanging branches scraped softly over my body, gliding across the powerful muscles rippling beneath my coat. I lifted my head, nostrils flaring. The forest spoke in scents. Wet earth, moss, wildflowers blooming somewhere nearby, and rabbits hidden beneath tangled roots. The very prey I sought My ears stood tall, twitching toward every sound. The crack of a twig echoed half a mile away, sharp enough to seize my attention, yet the sudden flutter of wings above disru

Chapter 26: The Luna ceremony

ENISA'S POV The words left my mouth before I could decide to swallow them back. I turned fully from the vanity. The reaction I read on his face was priceless. That was the part that always irritated me. He always acted indifferent, like everything bent around him and nothing ever pushed back. He was still standing near the doorway, half in the warm glow spilling from the light in the room. "You want a reason,” he said quietly. "It wasn't a question. I straightened my shoulders. "Yes." A pause. Then he began to stroll towards me; the look in his eyes was fierce. I tried not to flinch; my hand hovered behind me, reaching for anything I could grab in case things got aggressive. "You are refusing a ceremonial acceptance into my house,” he said, voice calm. "It's my house too.” I dared say. But it was the truth; why must he always find a way to make everything all about him? "You are ungrateful, arrogant… He didn't finish the sentence. "Do you think you did me a favor by b

Chapter 27 : The Luna Mark

ENISA'S POV "Arito Guyana.” Alpha Dreadlock inclined his head respectfully before taking big strides towards their direction. The unfamiliar old man, shrouded in a white robe much like mine, bowed in acknowledgment to Alpha Dreadlock before slowly lifting his head. His eyes found mine instantly through the piercing lenses resting on his face. “You only seem to welcome me whenever there’s a bride,” Arito mused dryly, motioning toward the man in the gray suit. Without breaking stride, the man placed a black suitcase into his possession. "You are a busy man, Arito,” Alpha Dreadlock replied smoothly. “Am I truly worthy of summoning you whenever I please?” By then, he had already reached him, and the two exchanged pleasantries. "Does she understand what needs to be done?” Arito asked quietly. Zaden's father leaned closer and muttered something low into his ear. I watched Arito nod in understanding before finally pulling away. "Dating back hundreds of years…” Arito b

Chapter 28: The Rouge Alpha

ALARIC'S POV Boom. Boom. Boom. The drumbeat thundered through the forest like the heartbeat of some ancient beast buried beneath the earth. Each strike shook the night air, rolling through the towering pine trees that surrounded our territory. The flames at the center of the clearing leapt higher with every beat, crackling wildly as sparks spiraled upward into the dark sky. Around the fire, the men moved, bare skin gleaming beneath the blaze of orange light, sweat trailing down hardened chests and carved shoulders as they danced in ruthless rhythm. Their boots pounded against the dirt, shaking the ground beneath us. They moved with an infectious zeal, sweat gliding down their masculine frame. Some carried axes raised toward the heavens. Others gripped hunting spears stained from battles long past. As they circled the flames, their voices rose together in a savage battle chant. It blended with the drums until the entire forest seemed alive with it. One of the warri

Chapter 29: Acknowledge the Alpha

ALARIC'S POVVENNASKael collapsed to the ground, his words slurring together into something barely coherent, but it was not his condition that held my attention.It was the fact that he had returned at all.“He has been treated badly.”Leinna’s voice cut through the tension as she looked toward my men, disappointment hardening her features.“Is this how you welcome one of your own? Tell me then, what separates you from the monsters who showed us no mercy, if this is how you cast aside a fallen member?”“He is no member of ours.”Talock’s voice came through clenched teeth as he stared down at Kael with open contempt.“Well…”I mused, clapping my hands in the most ecstatic manner, definitely befitting the Beta beneath my feet.“Why have you returned, Kael?”My voice dropped, lacking empathy.“I have come…to stay.”A humorless smile tugged at my lips.“There is no place for you here. The day you chose to return to Silverstone was the day you forfeited your place in this pack.”Kael pres

Chapter 30: The hour of the night.

ZADEN'S POV Silverstone pack Slam! With a heavy thud, something crashed against my face, smothering me briefly before pulling away. My eyes snapped open instantly, bloodshot and unfocused, my lungs retrenching as I dragged in a sharp breath through the suffocating haze of sleep. Before I could recover… Thud! The second hit landed harder. That was all it took. The first strike had already triggered something primal inside me, but the second awakened my wolf completely. For one disorienting second, all I saw was darkness. The pressure made air vanish from my lungs. In those fractured seconds between sleep and consciousness, I had thought I was under attack, and my wolf reacted accordingly, awareness detonating through me. Every dormant instinct surged awake beneath my skin at once, dragging me out of sleep so abruptly it felt almost electrifying. My eyes scanned around my surroundings, senses sharpening with lethal precision as darkness and shadows came into foc
