It's her relentless fight for the truth and growing love for Bentley that makes her dig deeper. Only to find out that the killer is someone she knows very well.

Mein dreijähriger Sohn Ethan verirrte sich in das Gebiet der Rogues und wurde dort auf grausame Weise ermordet. Als mich die Nachricht erreichte, wurde mir schwarz vor Augen. Als ich wieder zu mir kam, hielt mein Alpha-Gefährte Alexander meine Hand fest umklammert. Seine Stimme war heiser vor Schmerz. „Ivy, ich schwöre dir, ich werde Ethan rächen. Ich werde diese verfluchten Rogues mit meinen eigenen Klauen zerreißen.“ Doch drei Tage später, bei der Beerdigung, hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Alexander und seinem Beta Marcus. „Alpha, ich verstehe das nicht“, sagte Marcus verwirrt. „Warum haben Sie den Rudelarzt Ethan nicht retten lassen? Er war nur lebensgefährlich verletzt. Wenn wir rechtzeitig gehandelt hätten...“ „Es war Lucas“, Alexanders Stimme war von Schmerz durchzogen. „Er hat Ethan aus Versehen in Richtung des Rogue-Gebiets gestoßen. Lucas ist nur ein Kind. Er kannte die Grenzen der Rogues nicht. Er hat es nicht absichtlich getan.“ „Hätte ich den Arzt Ethan retten lassen, hätte der Junge allen die Wahrheit erzählt. Sophia wäre ins Gefängnis gekommen, und der Rat hätte Lucas zum Tode verurteilt. Das konnte ich nicht zulassen“, fuhr Alexander fort. „Und was ist mit dem Erben des Rudels?“, fragte Marcus besorgt. „Das spielt keine Rolle“, Alexanders Tonfall wurde wieder unheimlich ruhig. „Sobald Ivy sich beruhigt hat, hole ich Lucas zurück. Wir sagen, er sei ein adoptiertes Waisenkind, und der nächste Alpha wird von Ivy selbst großgezogen.“ Also war derjenige, der meinen Sohn getötet hatte, sein unehelicher Sohn mit seiner Geliebten. Mein Sohn hätte gerettet werden können, doch Alexander opferte meinen Ethan für seinen Bastard. Ich wählte eine Nummer, die ich seit fünf Jahren nicht mehr angerufen hatte. „Papa, ich bin es. Ivy.“ „Ich habe meine Meinung geändert“, sagte ich kalt und gefasst. „Ich komme zurück, um das Königliche Rudel zu erben.“ „Und was ist mit dem Mondstein-Rudel?“ „Ich will, dass das Mondstein-Rudel vollständig von der Welt ausgelöscht wird.“

Zum hundertsten Mal hatte mein Alpha-Gefährte Ryker seinen Befehl gegen mich eingesetzt. Er drohte mir, unsere Bindung aufzulösen, falls ich mich nicht für meine Zwillingsschwester Ivy opferte. Ich weinte nicht. Ich protestierte nicht. Ich unterschrieb einfach die Papiere zur Auflösung unserer Gefährtenbindung. Ich überließ den Alpha, den ich zehn Jahre lang geliebt hatte, meiner Schwester. Wenige Tage später machte Ivy eine Szene beim Rudelallianz-Bankett und demütigte die Tochter des Silbermond-Alphas. Wieder einmal trat ich an ihre Stelle und ertrug den Schmerz eines entstellenden Silbermals. Später verlangten sie von mir, die Sicherheit des Wolfsgeist-Regenerationsrituals mit meinem eigenen Körper zu testen – für meine Schwester. Ich nahm lächelnd an. Meine Beta-Eltern blickten mich mit rotgeränderten Augen an und sagten, ich sei endlich die große Schwester, die ich hätte sein sollen. Selbst Ryker, der mir gegenüber immer so distanziert gewesen war, stand vor dem Keller. Zum ersten Mal seit einer Ewigkeit streichelte er sanft meine Wange und flüsterte: „Harper, hab keine Angst. Sobald die Prüfung vorbei ist, fahre ich mit dir zum Mondgöttinsee, um die Polarlichter zu sehen.“ Doch er wusste nicht, dass er mich nie wiedersehen würde – ganz gleich, wie die Prüfung ausging. Mein Wolfsgeist verblasste bereits. Nichts konnte mich mehr retten. Diesmal würde ich die Augen für immer schließen.

Introduction At my mating ceremony with Blake Morrison, the Alpha heir I'd loved for eight years, his childhood sweetheart texted him a pregnancy test photo. He didn't hesitate for a second. He canceled our mating ceremony and rushed off to take care of his childhood sweetheart. After he left the ceremony hall, his childhood sweetheart posted photos on the big screen behind me. Photos of the two of them tangled together in my bedroom. Then Blake sent me a message: "I was drunk that night. Ivy is carrying my child, and I need to be there for her." "She wanted to hide the pregnancy and raise the pup alone, but she's an Omega. It's too hard for an Omega to raise a child by herself, especially when she's competing to be the Pack's Head Healer... I can't ruin her future, and I can't abandon an innocent life." "You're an Alpha wolf. High-ranking wolves don't get pregnant easily, and you've always wanted children quickly, right? After she gives birth, I'll arrange for her to study advanced healing at the Alliance. You can raise the child, and they'll only know you as their mother." When I didn't reply, he added another message: "The official marking and re-scheduling our mating ceremony will have to wait until after Ivy gives birth." I stared at my phone screen, laughing until my eyes burned with tears. I was the only Alpha heiress of the Stormfang Pack, the strongest pack in Southern territories. Did he really think that I had no choice but to pick him as my mate? I dialed the Alpha King Kane Blackwood's number directly: "Are you still willing to be my mate?"

Mon fils de trois ans, Ethan, s'est égaré sur le territoire des rôdeurs et a été sauvagement assassiné. Quand la nouvelle m'est parvenue, j'ai perdu connaissance. Je me suis réveillée en sentant la poigne de mon compagnon Alpha, Alexander, serrer la mienne. Sa voix était rauque de chagrin. « Ivy, je te le jure, je vengerai Ethan. Je mettrai ces maudits rôdeurs en pièces de mes propres griffes. » Mais trois jours plus tard, lors des funérailles, j'ai surpris une conversation entre Alexander et son Bêta, Marcus. « Alpha, je ne comprends pas, » disait Marcus, manifestement troublé. « Pourquoi n'as-tu pas laissé le médecin de la meute sauver Ethan ? Il était seulement grièvement blessé. Si nous avions agi à temps… » « C'était Lucas, » a répondu Alexander, la voix chargée de douleur. « Il a accidentellement poussé Ethan vers la frontière des rôdeurs. Lucas n'est qu'un enfant, il ne connaissait pas les limites du territoire. Il ne l'a pas fait exprès. » « Si j'avais laissé le médecin sauver Ethan, le garçon aurait dit la vérité à tout le monde. Sophia irait en prison, et le Conseil condamnerait Lucas à mort. Je ne pouvais pas laisser cela arriver, » a poursuivi Alexander. « Et l'héritier de la meute ? » a demandé Marcus, inquiet. « Ça n'a pas d'importance, » a répondu Alexander, son ton redevenu d'un calme glaçant. « Une fois qu'Ivy se sera apaisée, je ramènerai Lucas. Nous dirons que c'est un orphelin adopté, et le prochain Alpha sera élevé par Ivy elle-même. » Ainsi, la personne responsable de la mort de mon fils était l'enfant illégitime qu'il avait eu avec sa maîtresse. Mon fils aurait pu être sauvé, mais Alexander a sacrifié mon Ethan pour son bâtard. J'ai composé un numéro que je n'avais pas appelé depuis cinq ans. « Papa, c'est moi. Ivy. » « J'ai changé d'avis, » ai-je dit d'une voix froide et posée. « Je rentre pour hériter de la Meute Royale. » « Et la Meute de la Pierre de Lune ? » « Je veux que cette Meute soit rayée de l'existence. »
