“Then take off your clothes.”I was taken aback by the sheer bluntness of his words.“What?” Zarius didn’t move. His eyes stayed locked on mine, black and unreadable. “You heard me.”I took a step back. “Zarius… I don’t understand.”“You said anything.” His voice was quiet, almost soft. “If you want my forgiveness… then give me what no one else has ever had.”My throat went dry, clutching my dress worriedly.“My… virginity?”He nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”But it made me narrow my eyes with disapproval.It won’t be the “Becoming One” I had imagined.Nor did I think Zarius would ever ask for consummation so… abruptly.“That’s not forgiveness. That–that will be a transaction then.”“Call it whatever you want, Baby.” Baby? He led his large palm to my neck, holding it firmly, sending a satisfactory shiver down my spine.“You claimed you are loyal. Prove it. Give yourself to me. Completely. Now.” His eyes darkened, forcing a command that made my knees weak.His thumb settled unde

~ ZARIUS'S POV:I’ll kill you. I’ll fucking kill you, Azrael.‘For what?’ The voice slithered through my mind, filled with sickening satisfaction. ‘For taking what belongs to us?’I stared at my reflection in the bathroom, resenting the very sight of it.‘What did you make me do!?’ I roared internally as I stared at the faint tremors in my own hands.The consciousness was back.But the horror of what he did remained.‘What? You thought every time I took control, I’d only seek blood and destruction?’ Azrael mocked, letting out a low chuckle.“You ruined this,” I snarled under my breath, unable to keep the venom from spilling out. “She doesn’t even know. She thinks it was… me.” My voice unwillingly broke. “It was her first time, Azrael, that wasn't how—”‘How you imagined?’ That cursed wolf cut in coldly. ‘Without giving her time to adjust? Fucking her while she cried out for you?’I shut my eyes, not wanting to hear more of these horrible talks.‘You wanted to whisper useless sweet

Why me? I sat submerged in the tub, furiously scrubbing a sponge over my collarbone, my arms, my chest—anywhere that entity had touched me. What did I do to deserve this misery?The skin was burning bright red, yet I couldn't stop. I wanted to remove the essence of him from me. Why is my fate so cruel?‘Evelise, please, listen to me.’ My wolf tried to call me compassionately but I didn’t need her empty consolations. “I don’t need to hear anything.” I hissed.Okay, Zarius had lost his consciousness. He couldn’t control, but her?She knew I was letting that curse take my first time.And yet she didn’t stop me. ‘He would have strangled us both to death right then and there.’ So what?!“Evelise….” The faint click of the door handle made me flinch.I gasped, splashing backward in the water and pulling my knees tightly against my chest. “Wh–Who’s there?” I stammered. Instinctively hiding myself, especially after recognizing it was Zarius.“Do–Don’t come near me!”“It’s me,” Zarius

“Robbie…?” The name left my lips in a frightened whisper.“How did you get in here?” Hissing, I pushed myself off the floor and glared at him. “It doesn’t matter,” he whispered, taking a swift step toward me, already reaching for my hand.“We don’t have time, Evelise. You need to come with me. Right now.”I pulled back into the shadows of the mattress. “Are you out of your mind? If Zarius finds you here, he will kill you.”“I’m not leaving you to rot in his cage.” Robbie reached out, grabbing my wrist before I could pull away. His touch was warm, familiar—a contrast to the cold void inside me. But, also a reminder of the consequences I had to face all because of his cowardly escape. “Look at you. He locked you in the Isolation Tower, Evelise. He’s breaking you. I’m here to save you.” The desperation in his voice almost swayed me but the words “Save Me”The word sounded so fragile. I stared at him, my heartbeats rising from anticipation, pulled by a sudden wave of hesitation th

~ EVELISE'S POV:My heart stung to hear it but unfortunately it was the tale of many who were consumed by him.He wasn’t called the Soulless Alpha for nothing. If you looked closely enough, there were countless men with tales just like Robbie’s. Yet at this point, I had to wonder—was it Zarius's own cruel desire to conquer, or was it the curse? What if it was both?“I failed them, Evelise,” Robbie whispered, his voice cracking as he sat beside me on the edge of the mattress. “I was twelve years old, and I watched him tear my world apart. I couldn't save my parents. I couldn't save my pack.”He reached out, his fingers trembling as he took my hands in his.“I’m sorry for keeping this from you. I’m sorry but I wanted the killing to stop, even if the cost was your love.” When he whimpered, I was no longer sure what to speak.Filled with nothing but compassion, I stared at him. My lips parted, calling him softly.“Robbie.” “But I am not leaving you behind now.” He pulled away a litt
