he inquired, his eyes searching mine for any sign of distress. I returned his smile. "Better," I replied honestly. "That's good to hear. Now it's time to get you some lunch." "That sounds wonderful." As we made our way to the grand dining room of the castle, I couldn't shake the surreal sensation that enveloped me. Despite having made peace with my situation, the reality of my rebirth still felt like a dream too fantastical to be true. The memories of my death, the searing pain of betrayal inflicted by my former mate, Magnus, lingered like ghosts in the recesses of my mind. But I refused to let them dictate my present.

They howled and thrashed, but the more they resisted, the tighter the binds pulled, feeding on their energy. Xavier stepped forward, calm, and cruel. “You think you know me? No you don’t, you have never seen anything like me, I am the Alpha of Alphas, the Apex of all Apex predators, I am death, destroyer of worlds, I am the demon wolf.” He howled loudly, the sound, causing an earthquake to erupt from the ground. His eyes narrowed as the chains tightened again—silent proof of who truly ruled the world now. Then the sky began changing its color, it became darker than night, the moon’s light disappearing replaced by something everyone dreaded.

Well, my darling Luna, this pack needs an heir, and since you are unable to deliver one for us, Alpha Blake has no choice but to take the required measures, she remarked in a severe voice. Just what exactly do you mean? Tricia, speak for yourself; I know you seduced him, I added, attempting to reassure myself that Blake would never turn on me by saying that he would never betray me. Your anger and your tears won't change a thing at this point; you might as well just be thankful to me instead of acting like a fool and being furious for no reason.

Riven looked murderous but pulled back. Deeper inside the ruins Thorne found ancient carvings on the wall. He went pale. Mara saw them too and both hid their reactions fast. One carving showed two wolves under a shattered moon. Another showed black veins spreading through a king. But the third picture froze Mara completely. It showed children strapped down for experiments. And standing beside them a much younger Mara. More creatures attacked suddenly forcing the group to run through collapsing tunnels. Orion fought beside Lucien striking with ease. Riven did not trust him one bit. Orion noticed and grinned. "Still worried I will steal him away brother?"

“Get your bloody hands off me! You still have the guys to side with this traitor! He's the reason your brother will die next week and you still have the guys to side with him?” Kaan looked at me on the floor, blood pouring out my nose. He was breathing heavily from all the anger but I didn't expect what he said next. “Xavier didn't do anything wrong. You and I know how Xerxes is. He would sooner die than let us worry about something we can't do anything about. Even though he could have undergone chemo, that was his choice. But you will not blame the kid. This kid has been more loyal to Xerxes and I than you have ever been. When have you wanted to be involved in the dirty work? All you want i

Thalia's eyes were as wide as saucers as she breathed, "Goodness, babe. What sort of people have you been working with?" She had heard their plan loud and clear, so she knew what they were up to. She was so disgusted by them that she looked like she might throw up. "Oh, they're not people. They're monsters." I sneered and locked my phone. Hatred burned in my heart as I recalled how Francesca had succeeded in framing me in my previous life. A plan started to form in my mind. Over the next couple of days, I brought Thalia to the law firm, deliberately flaunting our love in everyone's faces.

But Aria didn’t stop. Hours passed, the moon sliding lower in the sky. Just as the trail seemed to fade, Aria caught it — the faint sound of labored breathing. Her wolf ears twitched, and she raised her hand, signaling for Killian to halt. She crept forward, silent as death, until she saw them. The betrayer was slumped against a tree, one hand pressed against their chest, blood still seeping from the wound she’d given them. Their skin was pale, sweat-drenched, but their eyes — those traitorous, desperate eyes — still burned with defiance.

The moment he confirmed that I put on the seatbelt, he hit the gas and we revved away from the hospital. “Care to explain? This is not some kidnapping attempt, right?” I asked. “Oh, yeah. Right.” He reached out for something in the compartment of his car and handed a picture to me. “That’s Xavier Hawthorn. He is that guy I told you about. He is a mercenary with no master. Just pay him and he will be your loyal dog for as long as you can.” “A mercenary, huh. That means that his master is money itself. If someone else pays him more than I could, then he would surely turn against me. What a great suggestion you have here, Kyle.”

"Because of Brian, that little girl had to die a painful death. How can scoundrels like this still exist?" "You're talking about my sister, aren't you? Is Brian the one who raped your sister?" Kayler's voice sounded, making many people surprised at Kayler's question. Anger and resentment were evident on the faces of those around them. Harem, whom they once respected so much, is a man who has done many terrible things. "Harem, you are the one who betrayed the wolves. Now you have to pay for everything you've done over the past twenty years." Ethan said firmly.
