Chapter 1

That evening, blood soaked into the white marble floor.Everywhere I looked, there was nothing but a sickening wash of red.The news that the Alpha and Luna had been murdered by their adopted daughter sent shockwaves through the entire Moonlight Pack.The fury of the people reached a fever pitch. Everyone was screaming for me to be burned at the stake.But in the face of a thousand punishments, I never said a single word.The case dragged on for over a year with no progress.Owen, desperate for the truth, crossed the Enchanted Forest to the witch clans of Roaring Valley and obtained a potion that could force a person to reveal their memories."This potion corrodes the brain. Three doses is all it takes to dredge up every memory you have.""Once it's pulled out everything, you'll be dead.""Salia, you can still tell me the truth. This is your chance."Owen stared down at me, his gaze cold.Those eyes that once held nothing but warmth and gentle laughter now held only hatred.I looked up

Nine years ago.The once peaceful Moonlight Pack was struck by a catastrophic water contamination.Everyone who drank from the supply fell into relentless fevers and uncontrollable sickness. Crops irrigated with the tainted river water were inedible.Famine and thirst closed in on Moonlight Pack like a fist.My parents and my sister left the last piece of bread for me, and died together in their sleep.But without clean water, I wasn't far behind them.I could already feel the eyes of starving people watching me from the shadows. I didn't dare think about what they might do.That was when Owen appeared.He lifted me onto his back and carried me home, step by step. His voice was gentle but steady:"Don't be scared. My father is the Alpha. He'll find clean water. He'll make sure everyone survives.""Our house is big. You can live there forever. We're your family now.""There's an apple tree in the courtyard. The apples are sweet and fragrant. And Aunt Sandra makes the most amazing apple

When the crowd saw this, the cursing erupted from all sides.Delilah rushed forward and slapped me hard across the face."You little bitch! Owen treated you with nothing but kindness, and this is what you did when Moonlight Pack needed you most.""Were you planning to steal those mineral veins all along? Hoard the riches for yourself?"Owen's eyes were terrifyingly cold."That night you disappeared without a word. The next morning, I discovered the survey map was gone. You were away for two months, and when you came back, you didn't offer a single explanation.""I suspected you. But I thought it over again and again, and I couldn't bring myself to confront you.""I never imagined it really was you who stole the map."I let out a small, hollow laugh. Said nothing.I just stared at the scene unfolding before us.In the memory, I was wrapped in a cloak, riding through the night to the estate of Eugene, Alpha of the Silver Star Pack."Honored Alpha of the Silver Star Pack, I am Salia, daug

When the potion took hold, the agony of my brain being eaten alive made me want nothing more than to die.But I would cling to life, no matter the cost, until every last person here knew the truth.The crowd pressed closer, every eye fixed on me, hungry to finally learn what was behind these murders.One year ago.The season when the apple trees bloomed.Owen asked me to be his mate beneath a canopy of white apple blossoms.His hands were covered in cuts and scars from forging the silver dagger.I held his hands and looked at the wounds, my heart aching. He just smiled softly and brushed a strand of hair from my face."As long as it makes you happy, it's all worth it.""Being your mate is the greatest blessing of my life."When Alpha Elbert and Luna heard the news, they immediately threw themselves into planning the marking ceremony, practically glowing with excitement.Three years had passed since the Alpha's recovery, and in that time the neighboring packs had grown considerably more

Chapter 5

This was a memory buried so deep inside me that even I had nearly forgotten it existed.That was why the potion had taken so long to find it, pulling it up from the dark and laying it out in full.One year ago.After Owen left for his journey, the Alpha grew restless. He couldn't sit still, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. I noticed something was wrong with him and went back and forth in my mind before finally going to his study.I pushed open the door and found him holding a silver dagger to his own throat.I stopped him. I wanted to go find Luna.He grabbed my arm and wouldn't let me. When I asked why, he broke down."This is my punishment," he said."The Moon Goddess let me save your life to remind me, every waking moment, that I need to atone. But I'm afraid the things I've done in this life can never be made right. Not even in death."I didn't understand.Everyone in the Moonlight Pack knew that Alpha Elbert was the greatest leader the pack had seen in centuries. He had surveyed the

The potion's memories couldn't be faked.But fragments weren't the whole truth.Blood was pooling beneath me. My face had gone white.Owen held me tight. His tears fell one by one onto the side of my neck."You have something to say, don't you?""Tell me. Whatever it is, tell me and I'll get to the bottom of it. I swear I will."Behind Owen, Delilah watched me with cold eyes. Her lips moved without sound."Don't waste your breath.""All three potions are gone. No one will ever know what's really inside your head.""The truth dies with you, and you'll rot in the ground with everyone's hatred on top of you."I smiled.I pressed my face into Owen's chest and raised what was left of my broken hand to brush his cheek.Then I yanked the coin pouch from his belt.That pouch was a gift I had given Owen. Inside it was the potion I had brought back from Roaring Valley.When I had struck my deal with the witch there, she had given me two potions. One to save Alpha Elbert's life. The other, a mirr

Owen knelt on the ground, feeling how little I weighed in his arms. I was so light it seemed like a single breath could scatter me.He lifted me and spoke to the guards without turning his head. His voice was ice."Arrest Delilah and the former Beta. Take them to the cells. I want a full interrogation.""I want every detail within a day.""And get every doctor in this pack to Salia. Now."Then he carried me away.That was the thing about Owen. He was never indecisive. When the truth was in front of him, he acted.The trouble was that hate makes people blind.So does love.Owen couldn't face what had happened to his family. Couldn't bring himself to believe that I was the one who had done it. So he chose to run. He traveled the world chasing answers, looking for any explanation that didn't require him to come to me and ask.It took him an entire year to finally face the truth.And now regret was eating him alive.If he had come sooner, would my body still be this broken?The doctors arr

"Salia, there's a way to save you.""Delilah has a special potion. It can keep you alive. She says if I let her go, she'll hand it over."I stared at him."You can't let her go. She murdered your entire family."Owen clenched his jaw. Grief and fury fought across his face."You think I want to do this? I hate her just as much as you do.""If it weren't for her, my parents would still be alive. You wouldn't be like this. Every time I think about it, I want to kill her with my own hands.""But Salia, you're all I have left. If I lose you too, I don't know how to keep going."He broke down.Owen had always loved noise and company. A full table, laughter, people around him. Loneliness was the thing he feared most.Since his family died, he had carried that hatred alone through more silent nights than I could count.I knew he was just terrified of being alone.But I couldn't live with that price.I let out a slow breath and met his eyes."Delilah killed the Elberts. If I trade her freedom f
