I just need to do the Check-Mate. Kaanadan takes a deep breath. — Do you really think it can work? I look at him and nod. — Yes. I have points to be sure. Firstly, Gabriel, after Lucca died, lost the way to act in manipulation, he easily becomes desperate and ends up revealing the whole truth. Then comes the fact that I don't go beyond the connection between the two of you and the woman who has all the information about the war. Finally, I planted an intrigue between them that I don't think about resolving... and consequently they bring them to me on a plate.

I had been forced to smile, to nod, to pretend like I was just another arm candy to add to his collection, but I was nothing more than a puppet—one whose strings were pulled at his will. Every part of me wanted to break free, to scream, to claw my way out of this gilded cage he’d built around me. But I knew better than to make a scene. I was the wife of Luca Moretti, the infamous mafia kingpin, and my actions had consequences—consequences that were far too terrifying to consider.

His eyes narrowed till I couldn't see the whites of his eyes, "I don't trust you and I know you're not who you're pretending to be. But don't worry, angel, I won't embarrass you by divorcing you. The only way you are leaving this marriage is in a body bag." Of all the threats I'd received that day, his was the one that made my body tremble. It wasn't a threat given in anger or with purpose. It was simply a statement of fact. I would be a fool to think of betraying Roman with his words hanging over me like a cloud of doom. Unfortunately, I was already betraying him by impersonating the real Sofia and I would have no choice but to play Russo's game to hide Sofia's betrayal. This was really the

"Besides, you claim we deceived you on the Moon Newborn Festival plan, but without the deception, you'd have spilled everything to Hunt, and he'd have told Madison. Would our plan have succeeded? Would your mother and others have been rescued? Focus on the outcome, not the process." "Your mother is safe now—the result you wanted. The deception was necessary. If you hadn't trusted your father so blindly, we wouldn't have hidden the truth. Telling you beforehand that your father was a fence-sitter? You'd never have believed it, just as you don't believe now that Wilorina traded her body to bribe Madison's werewolf doctor to harm your mother. There's nothing left to say. I'll leave once Galvin

The sharp click of her 5-inch heels echoed through the lobby. She stopped in the center of the hall, her expression unreadable as she looked at the still little figure on the floor. "Still putting on a show? Is this what Howard taught you—how to fake sympathy? You really think that if you act pitiful enough, I'll soften up? Keep dreaming." Each word cut through me like a blade, stabbing my soul again and again. I wanted to scream—how could she? How could she believe such cruelty of her own child? My boy was gentle, obedient, innocent… Tears spilled onto his face.

I could stand up and jump if my body wasn't so stiff and recovering. Thomas chuckled low. “And Williams will wake to a world without her. Broken. Alone. Exactly as we want. Then we kill him.” The healer inclined his head, voice calm as ever. “Your enemies destroy themselves, Alpha. That is the beauty of deception.” I sat back, clapping my hands together once in delight. “I underestimated you both. Truly. I thought force was our only weapon. But no—this is far better. This is beautiful. Blood spilled not by war, but by faith. Hallelujah!”

Crane was heavily guarded, and Nexus had eyes everywhere. ⸻ The team devised a high-stakes plan to infiltrate Crane’s compound. They would need stealth, precision, and trust — fragile elements in a world built on deception. As the night of the mission approached, tensions ran high. Dominic gathered the team. “This is more than a mission,” he said. “It’s a fight for the city’s future. We succeed, we cripple Nexus. We fail, everything we care about is lost.” ⸻ The infiltration was a tense ballet of shadows and whispers. The team moved silently through security systems, disabling alarms and avoiding patrols. Inside the compound, they discovered evidence confirming Crane’s central role in Projec

"Betrayal is met with death, Isabella. Always. Without exception." He leaned forward slightly, and I could feel the intensity of his attention even through those dark lenses. "The ceremony will include graphic details of what happens to those who break their word to us. You'll see photographs, hear testimonies, witness evidence of what we do to traitors." My mouth went dry. "What kind of evidence?" "The kind that ensures no one ever forgets the cost of deception." His smile was cold enough to freeze blood. "Bodies found in the river with their tongues cut out. Families who disappeared overnight because someone thought they could lie to us and live to tell about it."

"That's suicide Adrian. For me and for anyone who agrees to help." "Which is why we're careful. Why we only approach wolves you absolutely trust. Why we give them information that seems valuable but is actually useless. Why we use them to feed Asher false intelligence." I stand. Move to the window. "We can't win a straight fight. He has more wolves. More resources. More territory. But we can win through strategy. Through deception. Through making him paranoid and uncertain." "And if one of them betrays us? If they tell Asher what we're planning? We'll have handed him everything he needs to destroy us."
