Chapter 41

Annastasia Pov. I stepped back cautiously. My wolf was alert. Watchful. "You should not be here, Valeria.""Should I not?" Valeria laughed. It was a hollow, broken sound. "Because of you, I lost everything. My father doesn't look at me. The council has abandoned me. Selene will not speak to me. Hector locked me up like a criminal. My reputation is destroyed. My career is over. Everything I worked for, everything I built, is gone."She took a step toward me. Her hand knocked against the wine bottle, and it rolled off the counter and shattered on the floor. She did not seem to notice."That is not my fault.""Is it not?" She stepped closer. Her movements were unsteady. "You came here and everything fell apart. Everything I worked for. Everything I built. Gone. Because of you.""Valeria, you need to leave. You're drunken. You are not supposed to be here.""Not supposed to be here?" She laughed again. "I built this place. I worked here for years before you ever set foot in this territory

Chapter 42

Annastasia. The music swirled from the grand hall, heavy and loud enough to vibrate through the walls of the pack house. I stood in my room, staring at the gown that had been laid out on my bed. It was beautiful. More beautiful than anything I had ever worn. The fabric was deep midnight blue, the color of the night sky just before the stars appeared. Tiny crystals were sewn into the bodice, catching the light like scattered diamonds. The skirt flowed down to the floor in soft waves, elegant and regal.It was a gown worthy of a Luna.Lena moved around me, adjusting the dress, smoothing the fabric, fixing my hair. Her hands were gentle but steady. "You look beautiful, my Luna," she said softly. "Truly beautiful."I looked at my reflection.The woman staring back at me was a stranger. She stood tall. Her shoulders were straight. Her chin was lifted. The gown hugged her figure and flowed around her like water. The crystals sparkled with every breath. Her hair was swept up, revealing the

Chapter 43

Annastasia. I stared at her. This was not the cold, cruel woman who had ordered me beaten. This was someone else. Someone who was trying to help. In her own strange way."Why are you telling me this?" I asked.Selene was silent for a moment. "Because you saved a child's life. Because you did not break when the council flogged you. Because my nephew looks at you the way I have never seen him look at anyone." She stepped back. "Do not make me regret this."She turned and walked away. Her heels clicked against the polished floor. And I was left standing alone, her warning echoing in my ears.One wrong move. Everything could collapse.I looked around the room. At the Alphas and Lunas. At Valeria and her father. At the empty space where Hector had stood.The night was just beginning. And I had a feeling it was going to get much worse.I turned and walked with my head high.The eyes of the room followed me as I moved through the crowd. Whispers trailed behind me like shadows. But I did not

Chapter 44

Annastasia.The room was thick with tension, the air heavy and hard to breathe. All around us, the whispers started. They sounded like a swarm of angry bees, buzzing and filling every corner of the space."He used the children as bargaining chips." "Blood Moon has always been ruthless. This is a new low, even for them.""If the cure was ready, why did it take so long?""Maybe the Luna really is a murderer. Maybe they both are.""Look at the Alpha. He cannot even defend himself. He knows he is guilty."I felt Hector's hand tighten around mine. His jaw was clenched. His eyes were blazing. He was about to speak. He was about to unleash his fury on Aldric and everyone else who had dared to accuse him. But I knew that whatever he said, it would not be enough. Aldric had planted the seeds of doubt. The crowd was already leaning toward believing him. Hector's words alone would not change that.So I stepped forward.The movement surprised everyone. Hector looked at me with narrowed eyes. Ald

Chapter 45

Annastasia "Alpha Hector did not run away," I finally said, my loud voice carrying across the crowd. "He is still here. He is handling the situation. You need to remain calm."All heads turned to me. "Right. I have known Hector for over a decade," one Alpha suddenly spoke. He was tall and broad, with a scar across his cheek. "He is many things. Ruthless. Ambitious. But he would never harm children. This accusation is baseless.""Baseless?" another Alpha shot back. "Then why did he disappear? An innocent man does not flee.""Perhaps there is an explanation.""Then let him come back and explain.""I agree with Alpha Marcus," a Luna spoke up. She was elegant and calm, her hand resting on her husband's arm. "Hector has always been fair in his dealings with our pack. He funded our medical center when no one else would. This does not seem like the actions of a man who would withhold a cure from dying children.""People change," Aldric growled. "Power corrupts. Hector has too much power. H

Chapter 46

Annastasia The room was small and quiet. A single lamp burned on the table, casting soft shadows on the walls. Hector sat by the window, his head bowed, his hands clasped together. He looked nothing like the powerful Alpha who had commanded the grand hall. He looked tired. Worn down. Human."Sit," he said. His voice was rough.For a second, I hesitated. Then I walked to the chair across from him and sat down. My gown rustled softly against the floor. The silence between us was heavy.Hector stood. I watched as he walked toward the wall. Not toward the door. Toward the wall. And then he passed through it. His body shimmered and faded and moved through solid stone like it was nothing.I gasped. My hands gripped the arms of the chair. "Wh-what?” I shouldn't have been surprised but I was. A moment later, he walked back through the same wall. Still Invisble. In his hand was a bottle of wine and two glasses. He set them on the table between us and poured the dark red liquid into both glas

Chapter 47

Annastasia The silence between us was comfortable now. Not heavy like before. Not full of tension and unspoken words. Just quiet. Just two people sitting together in a small room, understanding each other for the first time.Finally, Hector broke the silence first. His voice came out of the empty air, sounding hollow and deeply exhausted."I have to stay here," he said softly. "The curse... it won't wear off until a full twenty-four hours have passed. Until then, I am completely trapped like this in this room." He paused, and I could hear the pain in his breath. "If anyone sees me disappear and reappear, it will raise questions."I nodded. "I know.""That means you will have to manage the pack on your own You have to take my place until I return. The Alphas and Lunas are still here. The council is still here. They will look to you for leadership."The words felt like a massive weight crashing down on my shoulders. Lead the pack? Alone? I was terrified, but when I felt the sound of hi

Chapter 48

Annastasia pov I was still lost in the haze of sleep when the door burst open."My Luna! My Luna, wake up!"Lena's voice was high and urgent. I sat up quickly, my heart pounding. The morning light streamed through the curtains. My eyes were still heavy from crying the night before. The mate bond. Hector's words. The weight of everything pressed down on me before I could even fully wake."Come in." I answered, my voice horses from sleep. The door unlocked and Lena rushed in quickly. “What is it?" I frowned sleepily. Lena stood by my bed, her hands wringing together. Her face was pale with worry. "There are visitors, my Luna. Very important visitors. They are demanding to see the Alpha.""Who are they?""Hector's childhood friends. Marcus, Dorian, and Felix. They represent powerful packs. Marcus is the Gamma of the Iron Claw pack. Dorian is the Beta of the Silver Ridge pack. And Felix is the head warrior of the Northern Plains pack." She paused, her voice dropping to a whisper. "The

Chapter 49

Annastasia pov I stood in the main hallway of the pack house, my hands clasped in front of me. My heart was pounding. My wolf was growling low in my chest. She remembered Bella. She remembered every cruel word, every scheming lie, every moment of pain that woman had caused us.The car pulled up slowly. It was a modest vehicle, nothing like the luxury cars that usually arrived at Blood Moon. I watched as the door opened. My father stepped out first. He looked around at the grand pack house, his eyes wide with poorly hidden greed. He had never seen anything like this. Red River was a cottage compared to Blood Moon.She looked exactly as she always did. Beautiful. Delicate. Her blonde hair was perfectly styled. Her dress was simple but elegant, a soft pink that made her look innocent and sweet. The moment her feet touched the ground, her face transformed. Her eyes welled with tears. Her lips trembled. Her hands pressed against her chest like she was overwhelmed with emotion."Anna!" she

Chapter 50

Hector's POVThe room was silent.I sat by the window, watching the morning light creep across the floor. The curse still held me in its grip. My body was invisible. My reflection did not appear in the glass. I could see the world, but the world could not see me.The curse had taken hold hours ago, and it would not release me until tomorrow. Twenty-four hours of being a ghost. Twenty-four hours of watching the world move around me while I sat unseen and unheard.It was a strange kind of torture. I had grown used to it over the years, but it never got easier. The loneliness of it. The helplessness of it. Knowing that I could walk through the pack house and no one would see me. Knowing that I could stand in a room full of people and they would look right through me.But this time was different. This time, I had Anna.She knew my secret now. She had seen me in the grand hall, standing against the wall while everyone looked straight through me. She had not flinched. She had not run away.
