A month had passed since Gwen fell into the ravine, yet no one knew what had truly happened. Everyone close to her could only cling to theories and fragments of what little evidence remained.
It reminded me of those unsolved cases where the truth disappeared along with the victim, leaving behind nothing but questions.
Amanda blamed herself for failing to save Gwen after the executioner attacked her behind th
My chest tightened, and no matter how desperately I tried to bury the pain, it clawed its way to the surface.I turned my gaze to Diana, whose tears continued to fall.“Now do you understand why setting foot in this manor is an insult to the Alpha’s bloodline? If you believe you’re making a noble sacrifice for Zev, then you’ve misunderstood everything.”She lowered her eyes, unable to meet mine.Zev didn’t understand a single word I meant. How could he? His mind had already made its choice; all he saw was Diana in tears and me standing before her, as if bullying an omega.“I said that’s enough!” His voice thundered across the garden.Before I could respond, a burning sting exploded across my cheek.The slap held more than anger. It came from frustration and a darkness in his eyes I’d never seen before. For a heartbeat, the entir
[Kira]One evening, a few days after my birthday, I was surprised when someone came to the manor looking for me.“Lady Kira, Diana is waiting outside. She says she’d like to speak with you,” my personal servant informed me.“Please escort her to the garden,” I said.I zipped up the travel bag I was bringing to Thornfell. Everything I needed for the journey had already been packed.Even so, I couldn’t help wondering what Diana wanted from me. I left my room and headed toward the garden, the very same place where I had learned the truth about Zev’s nature, his infidelity.I spotted her almost immediately. The moment our eyes met, she slowly rose to her feet.“What do you need from me?” I asked, stopping a few paces away.She didn’t bother exchanging greetings. “Zev and I slept t
The two servants immediately dropped to their knees, trembling.“LadyGwyneth, please forgive us! We spoke without thinking!”The Queen’s expression hardened. “Guards!” Within seconds, the guards outside burst through the doors. “Take them away! They will be punished for their reckless tongues!” she commanded coldly.Ignoring the servants’ desperate cries, they seized both women and dragged them from the room.“My Queen! Please!”Their screams faded farther down the corridor until silence settled over the chamber once more.An inexplicable chill crept beneath my skin.“To be clear,” the priestess continued, “the presence I sensed wasn’t Virel’s blood or essence within the pups.”She hesita
[Gwyneth] Pups... babies... It had only been a month since I regained consciousness in this place, yet I already had countless questions that no one could answer. Everything felt like a puzzle with missing pieces; my identity, my past… The door to the room opened, and my mother stepped inside. She found me standing by the tall arched window, gazing over the palace grounds. “I was told by the servants that you skipped lunch, so I brought you something to eat.” I forced a faint smile. “My Queen Mother, this pregnancy has left me with little appetite. Forgive me for causing you concern.” She set the tray aside before taking my hands into hers. “A Lycan pregnancy has never been an easy burden to bear.” Her gaze drifted to my swollen belly, and a mixture of wonder and concern softened her features. “Since our pups develop much faster than human babies, it will take a couple of months before they’re born. It’s been a very long time since a female Lycan has carried twins,” she expl
[Lucian] “She’s dead!” my father declared, his voice echoing through the room. “Hasn’t more than a month of her disappearance been enough for you to face reality? You’re to marry Alpha Conrad’s second daughter, whoever she may be. There’s no difference!” “How can you say that, Derrick?” the Luna snapped. She had already gotten to know Gwen during the betrothal period, and I knew she had grown fond of my wife, not just as a political obligation, but as a person. “I’m just trying to make sense of all this!” my father replied, his gaze hardening as it landed on me. “And you, of all the wolves, know what happened that day. You were the last one with Gwen before she vanished.” “But it’s different because I love Gwen!” I shot back. “I didn’t just marry one of Alpha Conrad’s daughters to seal a treaty. I married the woman I cherish!” The woman I loved... and the woman I failed to protect. The thought tore through my chest. “I’m still fucking grieving,” I said, my voice breaking despit
The king frowned. “And what does bringing her here mean for our territory?” The queen met his gaze without flinching. “She can heal me, Leon!” the queen cried, her voice sharp as breaking glass. “After everything you put me through, our daughter is the only one who can mend what’s left of me.” “You said we should let go of the past!” he retorted, desperation creeping into his voice. “Why? Because facing the truth is inconvenient for you? Finding our daughter doesn’t erase the betrayal, the pain, or the years I lost! Some wounds don’t fade, even for us lycans.” Silence settled between them before the queen finally steadied herself. “Gwyneth is carrying pups,” she said more calmly. “Those children will continue my bloodline and strengthen the future of this territory. I no longer care about the secrets buried in her past. What matters now is that no one discovers where she is! You will help me keep her hidden and protect her at all costs.” *** [Kira] “What? She’s missing?” I ask

Amanda and I traveled a long way to reach her pack. She spent most of the journey trying to distract me, sensing the heaviness weighing on my heart. Still, no amount of conversation could ease the unease gnawing at my chest.When we finally arrived at their territory, healers w

The Luna had been a good mother to me for years. But standing here now, I couldn’t help wondering whether all of it had been nothing more than performance, a kindness worn like a mask to keep her secrets safe.The Alpha’s voice cut through the room, and with it,
