Maya's POVI turned my full attention to containing the chaos on the estate grounds. Flames were still leaping across the west wing."Get the secondary hoses onto the roof!" I roared, throwing orders to the pack brigade. "Contain the blaze before it reaches the main structure!"I gathered a squad of elite warriors and led them into the smoke-filled halls of the administrative wing.We worked quickly, clearing out important files, border defense logs, and financial ledgers from my office, transporting them out of the burning building to the fortified safe house located at the edge of the estate."Check every room, every closet, and every corridor!" I ordered. "Ensure every maid, servant, and staff member is accounted for outside. No one gets left behind in this building."By the time the fire brigade finally subdued the roaring flames, the entire west wing was reduced to ash.I called in our specialized forensic unit, a elite team trained in covert investigation to conduct a sweep of t

Merikh’s POV"I brought her into this chamber so you could hear the name directly from her lips," I said. "It will not come from my mouth, but from the mouth of the traitor who carried out the task."I turned my head, offering the kneeling girl a silent nod. "Speak the truth now, and your death will be swift."A flicker of desperate realization sparked in her bruised, swollen eyes. She understood the unspoken offer, a clean execution over a drawn-out death in the dungeon.She raised her head slightly, her trembling gaze sweeping across the hall. For a brief moment, her eyes locked onto a specific section of the council tribunal. A sudden flash of recognition and desperate hope washed across her face.I shifted my eyes upward, attempting to trace her exact line of sight to see which elder she was staring at, but the girl caught herself.She snapped her head down, breaking the connection before I could pinpoint the target of her gaze."It was Alpha Caleb," she squeaked out, her voice th

Merikh’s POVA tear escaped my eye. "But he's alive, Maya. Thomas found him. He was brought back to me safe, and he's resting in our safe house right now."I lifted my head, looking back at her peaceful face. "The council is furious with me. They are demanding answers, throwing blame at you, calling you a curse upon our realm. They want me to strip your title and send you away." I shook my head, my jaw tightening. "They don't understand you like I do. I need you to wake up, Maya. I need you to open your eyes and prove every single one of those arrogant old men wrong."I raised her hand to my lips, a gentle kiss against her cold knuckles."I miss you," I whispered, my eyes burning with unshed tears. "I miss your fire, your stubbornness, your strength. Please, Maya... come back to me.”Over the following week, the silence of the estate became unbearable.Reconstruction began immediately on the west wing, with crews working through the night to clear stone and replace ruined foundations.

Maya's POVElder Kenneth stared at me in disbelief. "Reclaim the pack? Maya, what do you mean?""Before my father died, he tried to tell me a secret about the pack's succession and the family assets," I explained, leaning across the desk. "I need to know what he was hiding."Kenneth hesitated, his eyes filled with doubt before he sighed. "Your father left a massive personal inheritance specifically reserved for you, Maya. Millions in private funds, along with a thirty percent controlling share of the Red Leaf pack estate. But after your banishment, Caleb and his loyalists on the council forged documents, claiming your shares without your consent."I shook my head. "I made Caleb the Alpha of a pack he didn't build. I gave him everything. But that ends now."I looked Kenneth in the eye. "I need access to my father's private funds immediately. And I need you to arrange a clandestine meeting with the three most influential stronghold elders on the council."Kenneth recoiled. "A meeting wi

Maya's POVMerikh stood near the lead vehicle, giving final, hushed instructions to his specialized team.His face was carved from hard stone, but the dark circles beneath his eyes betrayed the exhaustion and worry consuming him.When he finished speaking to his men, he turned and walked directly toward me.He stopped just inches away, his frame cutting off the cold wind.He didn't say a word at first. He reached out, his warm but rough hands gently cupping both sides of my face. He tilted my head up slightly, forcing me to look directly into his dark, intense eyes."I will be back within seven days," Merikh said, his deep voice carrying a quiet promise. "I will bring the cure for my son."Before I could speak, he leaned down and pressed a firm kiss against my forehead. The heat of his skin burned against mine. He held his lips there for three seconds before slowly stepping back.Without looking back, Merikh turned, climbed into the passenger seat of the lead car, and slammed the door
