Chapter 1: Playing the Little Daydream

- WILLOW“Your mate is a cheating piece of shit, you know.”I didn't even bother looking up from the kitchen counter I was wiping down. That grating, arrogant voice could only belong to one person in the Ashbourne pack mansion.Dexter Lambert.He was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed his chest, his entire appearance that of a useless, lowly gamma. He had this irritating smirk on his face, and I wanted to hurl my dirty dish rag right at his stupid face.“Go away, Dexter,” I replied evenly. “Not in the mood for your crap today.”“Well, I'm just telling the truth, honey,” he said as he walked into the kitchen as if it was his own. He reached for the apple in the fruit bowl, threw it up in the air, and caught it. "You're here playing dutiful little housewife, waiting for the big brave warriors to come back from the battle with rogues, while Callum is out there getting his wick trimmed by someone else."I finally stopped wiping the counter and glared at him. My chest clenched, bu

Chapter 2: Engraved in Lies

- WILLOWCallum rushed out of the bathroom. He was no longer indifferent but totally panicked. He rushed to the door, then hesitated just long enough to glance back at me.“Look, Sherlyn's taken it really hard,” he said, his words running, trying to justify himself. “She’s completely traumatized by the battle. With my brother dead, I'm the only person she has left in her corner. She needs me to have her back. I have to go calm her down, okay?

Before the last word even left his lips, he threw the bedroom door wide open.Sherlyn stood right there in the brightly lit hallway. Her swollen, tear-red eyes were filled with panic. As soon as the door opened, she didn't even give it a second thought. She jumped into Callum's arms in a wracked sob, burying her face in his chest.“I was so scared,” she choked out.

Chapter 3: Cold-Blooded Betrayal

- WILLOW"Why the hell are you in here?"The silence in the Alpha's private suite was broken by my sharp, demanding voice. I was standing near the edge of the bed, my hands still shaking a bit from the text message Sherlyn had sent an hour ago.Dexter didn’t even flinch. He stood with his legs crossed at the ankle, leaning against the mahogany balcony doors, seemingly as relaxed as a sitting duck, too relaxed for a low-ranking pack worker who had just trespassed into the most secure quarters of the estate. "You should learn to lock your balcony, Willow," he drawled, his smooth, lazy voice grating on my nerves. "It was easy for anyone to simply walk right in.""You’re a gamma, Dexter. If Callum finds you here, he’ll have you whipped within an inch of your life," I snapped, taking a step forward, my defensive instincts flaring. "Get out. Now."Dexter straightened up in the doorframe and made a light mocking chuckle. He didn't look scared to death. Instead, he walked slowly into the ro
