"It won't help if you get like this, no one will believe these accusations without proof, and to get that, you need to be healthy and alive." "He killed Katrina along with her sister, he confessed it to me when he thought he was about to die," the young woman sobs, brushing her fingers against the deep scars on her face. "Only with Katrina dead could he take the alpha position in the Alba Noctis pack and seize the entire Grimlore fortune."

It was the air I breathe, of myself, my destiny, and by the people I once regarded as my possession.

It was doable and smart.

It glinted in the light, a symbol of broken promises, before landing on the disheveled bed where their betrayal had unfolded. My piercing gaze remained fixed on it. "Consider it your reward for a game that you played so well," I stated, the bitterness in my voice seeping through every word. "And, well done, Leila. It seems you have found your perfect match," my words were like a dagger coated in bitterness, “Perfectly made from hell!“ my voice heavy with the agony of betrayal.
