CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-ONEMIREYA'S POVThe next day, I woke up casually, kissed Knox before getting out of bed, and quietly made my way to the kitchen very early in the morning. The mansion was still covered in silence, with most of the lights turned off and the corridors almost completely empty. I noticed that someone had been following me since I got out of the bedroom. I didn't turn around immediately. Instead, I continued walking at the same pace, pretending I hadn't noticed the faint footsteps behind me. No maids should be awake yet. That alone was enough to confirm my suspicion. A small smirk appeared on my lips as I entered the kitchen and started collecting the herbs I had gathered some days ago. I carefully placed them on the counter and began washing some leaves before preparing the concoction. I moved deliberately, making sure my movements were easy enough for whoever was watching me to follow. I knew the person would do it again, but I didn't even bother to stop

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWOMIREYA'S POVI stayed rooted to the spot, not because I was afraid, but because the anger burning inside me was so intense that even my body seemed to have forgotten how to move. My fingers slowly curled into tight fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms as I stared at the woman standing before me. My jaw tightened until my teeth almost hurt from how hard I clenched them. “Serena?” I called, my voice low and strained, each syllable carrying the fury I was struggling to contain. The sight of her standing there made something inside me snap. What was she doing here? How had she even gotten into this mansion when the guards had been searching for her everywhere? I had spent days knowing she was somewhere within these walls, yet I had never once imagined that she would be bold enough to remain here with me, right under my nose. The realization sent another wave of anger through me, and my eyes narrowed as I studied her face. She looked almost p

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREEMIREYA'S POV Serena suddenly turned around and tried to run, desperation taking over her features as she scrambled to get away from me. She barely made it a few steps before one of the guards caught her by the arm and stopped her from escaping. She struggled violently in his grip, crying and begging as she tried to pull herself free, but I simply raised my hand and signaled the guard to let her go. He hesitated for a moment, clearly confused by my order, but eventually released her. Serena didn't waste a second questioning why I had done it. The moment she was free, she ran. I watched her retreating figure with a cold, almost amused expression before turning toward Nancy. “Give me that,” I ordered, reaching for the bow and arrows she was holding. Nancy immediately handed them to me, her fingers slightly trembling as she looked between me and Serena. I took the bow and arrow, feeling the familiar weight settle into my hands, and then I looked towa

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MIREYA’S POV Then, Serena was desperate for even the smallest chance of survival, she nodded quickly, tears continuing to stream down her cheeks. “What is the game?” she asked eagerly, her voice trembling beneath the desperation. I tilted my head, studying her for a moment before a crazy smirk slowly plastered itself across my face. “Truth or dare… You liked it so much in college…” I said, remembering exactly the kind of girl she had been behind that innocent mask. Her expression changed slightly, and I caught the subtle flicker of recognition in her eyes. “Or you don't want to?” I asked, pretending to give her a choice while watching the disappointment and fear battle across her face. “No, I will…” she quickly shook her head. I smiled. “Good. As expected of a girl that killed her mother and father…” I mumbled, almost casually, but the effect of my words was immediate.Her expression turned to pure horror. The color drained from her face so qu

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVEMIREYA'S POVShe folded into herself, lowering her head as her shoulders trembled. I couldn't tell whether it was shame she was feeling or simply the helplessness of finally being cornered, but judging by the way she avoided my eyes, I knew she was terrified. A small, almost amused smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I watched her struggle to breathe normally. She had been so confident earlier, screaming about taking everything that belonged to her, but now she could barely lift her head in my presence. I crouched slightly, bringing myself closer to her level as I tilted my head. “C'mon, we still have a game to play…” I whispered, my voice deceptively soft. The softness seemed to frighten her even more because she slowly looked up at me, her eyes filled with fear. I could see the question in them, the silent plea for me to stop, but I wasn't interested in stopping. Not yet. We had barely started.“I get to ask all the questions, and you have to

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIXMIREYA'S POV “Hmmm…” I slowly stood, looking at her bleeding body and the desperation written all over her face. I felt no satisfaction anymore. Not even anger. Just a strange emptiness. I had expected the game to be more entertaining, more satisfying after everything she had done, but the truth was that Serena had already become too pathetic to amuse me.“It's not as fun as I expected…” I mumbled, almost disappointed. She stared up at me in absolute terror, her entire body trembling. “Mire…” she began, her voice barely more than a whisper, but I had already made my decision.Splash.Her blood spilled across my dress as I swung the sword. The sound of her body hitting the floor followed almost immediately, and the entire compound fell into a heavy silence. For a few seconds, nobody moved. Nobody spoke. I stared down at her lifeless body, my sword hanging loosely in my hand as a strange calm settled over me. “Boring,” I hissed under my breath before

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVENMIREYA'S POVI got into the room, still carrying the weight of everything that had happened downstairs with me. My dress was stained with Serena's blood, and even though I had already left her behind, the image of her lifeless body remained somewhere at the back of my mind. Nancy immediately noticed my condition and hurried toward me, trying to help me get changed, but before she could do much, I noticed her suddenly stop. She stood still for a moment, her eyes shifting toward something behind me before she quietly stepped away and left the room. I frowned slightly, wondering what had made her leave so suddenly, before I turned around and saw Knox standing there. My expression softened almost immediately. “Knox…” I called, walking toward him. Seeing him standing there still made something warm settle in my chest, especially after everything that had happened. I had spent so much time worrying about him that simply seeing him standing there was eno

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHTMIREYA'S POVA few days after Serena's death, Knox had barely left our bedroom. He spent almost all his time inside, refusing to go anywhere while I served his meals in the room and tried my best to take care of him. Doctors came over to the mansion repeatedly, examining him and discussing his condition in low voices, but every single one of them left with the same hopelessness written across their expressions. None of them could tell us anything reassuring, and watching them leave like that only made the fear inside me grow. I was worried about Knox, but I was also getting frustrated because he refused to do anything that could possibly help him. I wanted to advise him to go to the hospital, hoping that perhaps there was something the doctors at the mansion were missing, but the moment I brought it up, his temper exploded. “I am not going to the hospital!” he fired, throwing the glasses away. The crash echoed through the bedroom as the glass shat

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINEMIREYA'S POVA week earlier, Knox had called Jason to the mansion. I was already seated with them when we began discussing how to catch the next spy and, more importantly, how to find out who was behind everything. The atmosphere in the room was unusually serious, and none of us treated the situation lightly anymore. Serena had been nothing more than a pawn, and killing her hadn't answered the most important question. Who had sent her? Who was powerful enough to infiltrate Knox's mansion and manipulate someone into poisoning the Alpha? We needed answers, but going after the spies directly wouldn't be enough. Knox sat quietly for a moment before finally speaking, his fingers resting against the arm of the chair as he carefully considered his words. “The mastermind won't come out if we go after the spy only. Most spies go on suicide missions. The moment we catch them, they will kill themselves voluntarily,” Knox said, his voice calm but firm. I sighe

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MIREYA’S POV Knox remained calm despite my concern, his confidence almost frustratingly steady. “It will. I am sure,” he said without hesitation. And after five days of making Nancy spread rumors among the maids, having Sasha subtly hint things to the media, and arranging for doctors to visit the mansion repeatedly, we saw nothing. Nobody showed up. Not a single suspicious person appeared, and there was no sign that anyone had taken the bait. Every day ended exactly the same way it had begun, with us waiting for an enemy who refused to reveal themselves. The silence was beginning to feel more suspicious than an attack would have. “You said it would work…” I said lowly to Knox as I sat beside him on the bed. My voice carried disappointment and worry, but he only shook his head slightly. “Something is missing…” he mumbled, his brows drawing together as he thought. “What?” I knitted my brows at him, studying his reaction. He remained quiet for a mom
