Zara’s POV “…but now, I don’t recognize you anymore.”Karl’s words lingered in my mind. For several seconds, I watched Ryan's face carefully; I expected him to get angry again, or maybe to punish Karl the way he had with everyone else who dared to challenge him… but instead, something changed in his expression, and it made me realize how close they actually were.Ryan's eyes remained fixed on Karl, the man who had just told him that he no longer recognized him.I didn’t know how to feel in that moment. Perhaps satisfaction, proof that I was not completely crazy. Karl had spent weeks treating me like an enemy, and now he was finally admitting that Ryan was not right. That should have brought satisfaction, but it didn’t.Ryan looked so wounded, but it disappeared after a few seconds. His jaw tightened, and the coldness returned to his face. “I did everything I did for the safety of the kingdom.”Karl didn’t answer and faced Kira, who moved closer to him, her fingers quietly wrapping ar

Chapter 32Zara’s POV “Don’t talk to me like I am one of your guards.” The words had barely left Karl’s mouth before the atmosphere around suddenly became heavier. It was hard to notice at first. The fire burned softly behind me, and somewhere outside, the waves continued to crash against the shore. But inside the room, the warmth had seemed to disappear. It was the Ryan effect. I felt the way Ryan’s shoulder stiffened and the sudden silence that followed Karl’s word.Even Kira, who had been standing near the table, still holding her plate, staring at Ryan, waiting for his reaction. I looked between the two men. Ryan stood with his back fully turned to the door, one hand hanging loosely while the other clenched at his side. There was still a little blood on the corner of his mouth from where my mother had hit him, but he looked like he had already forgotten about it and all his attention was on Karl.Karl, on the other hand, looked…confused. As though he was trying to pick sides. H

Zara’s pov“Zara, your mother is dead.”For several I refused to understand what I had just heard. The words entered my ears but refused to make sense.My eyes were fixed on Ryan, waiting for him to take back what he had just said; perhaps I had misunderstood him. But he just stood there, watching me, with that calm expression on his face that had infuriated me since the day I met him. he always ruined my reality with that same cold certainty.My mother was standing right beside me, her hand tightened around mine; I could still smell the flower in her hair. I could still remember the way her hands touched my face only a few moments ago. The way she had called me sunshine every chance she got. She was here. She was real. She was my mother, and she was very much alive. So what then gave Ryan the audacity to stand in front of me and tell me that she was dead?Something inside me snapped. “You are lying.” My voice sounded quieter than I expected it to be.Ryan’s expression did not change
Marked by the Wolf King The king beyond the veil.
Zara’s POV I knew those heartbeats.I had heard them in the darkness. I had heard them between life and death, when my body was changing, and my mind was trying to make sense of what I was becoming. One of them was Karl’s. I would recognize it anymore. The other was stronger, steadier, and had a way of calming me down; it was far more difficult to mistake. Ryan.My entire body went rigid; how did they find this place? Did they know about it all this while? My eyes just remained fixed on the door. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. It felt like I hadn’t seen him in a long time. A lot had happened since I had last looked into his cold eyes. I had found my mother. I had remembered the childhood I never knew I had lived. I had discovered my entire foundation was built on lies.And he was about to walk into the end of all places he could have found me; he had found me here.I looked at my mother immediately. The warmth that filled her face earlier had disappeared completely. She was no lon
Marked by the Wolf King The price of power
Zara’s POV “I was going to teach you slowly but…” she swallowed, and her voice dropped to a whisper. “…if the palace is awake…I have to teach you before it's too late.”What was going on? I stared at her longer than I should, trying to understand the sudden fear, but the more I looked at her face, the more I realized that she was not exaggerating. My mother is one of the strongest I know; if she is acting like this. Something must have gone wrong. The woman who had smiled at me only a moment ago, who laughed even when my jokes were bad, when I told her I still hated vegetables.My hands tightened around hers. “Too late for what?” I asked. But she did not answer me again. “Mother, please, you are scaring me.” The moment those words came out of my mouth, her golden eyes met mine again. “What does it mean that the palace has awakened?”I took a deep sigh and looked towards the window instead of answering me. Beyond the glass, the ocean remained beautiful and peaceful. I started to think
Marked by the Wolf King The pathway
Zara’s POV The warm water spilled slowly over my shoulder. The feeling was nothing I could describe, but the water carried away layers of dried blood, dirt, and exhaustion that had clung to my skin longer than they should have. I closed my eyes and simply stood there, letting the water run over my skin while steam gathered around until it felt like the outside world had disappeared. I hadn’t realized how heavy my body had become until that very moment.Every bruise left by the werewolves, by the humans, every ache from Ryan's relentless interrogations, every wound earned while Ryan practically killed me in the Chamber. Nothing can make me like him. he knew what I was yet…I took a deep sigh.The water turned faintly pink as it circled the drain, washing away the last bit of blood that made me a little human. I found myself staring at it till the pink slowly turned to white. A few days ago, I would have never paid any attention to it; it would have been silly to question something as o

Zara’s POV The moment I stepped through the door, cold air rushed towards me like something alive. We walked into the same wide hall as before, but we moved in a different direction. This part felt odd compared to the others. The upper halls were silent, but this place felt worse, as if sound
Marked by the Wolf King Human Greed
Zara’s POV No one moved at first; they lingered where they stood, their attention shifted between him and me, like they were waiting for something to happen. Disappointment flickered on their faces as they all turned to leave. Ryan turned to Karl, “Even you, Karl.”Karl's gaze didn’t leave me.
Marked by the Wolf King The Enemy Territory
Zara’s POV The cold was the first thing I felt. It clung to my skin like a disease, settling into my bones. My eyes opened slowly, but I was surrounded by darkness. Not completely, a little orange dim light peeped somewhere beyond the bars in front of me. I stayed still for a moment, trying to

Zara's POVThe moment the gates closed behind us, everything changed. The air felt strange, slipping into my lungs with every breath till it burned. Even the wind sounded different out here, like it was trying to tell me something.The road ahead was empty and dark. My father rode down this sam
