Chapter Hundred thirty-one

Darius’s POVI felt trapped, suffocated by the walls of this palace that once felt like a home but now seemed like a prison. My mother—her relentless pressure was wearing me down, twisting my thoughts. She kept pushing me, manipulating me to do things I didn’t want to do, to betray Alpha Orion. And it terrified me because I knew myself. There would come a moment when I’d lose control, when her words would seep into my mind like poison. If I gave in, I’d lose myself completely.I can’t let that happen. I won’t betray him.I packed my belongings quickly, each item thrown into my suitcase a small act of defiance. This palace no longer held anything for me. I’d leave, just as I did before, disappearing into the shadows where no one could reach me. The idea brought a strange, bittersweet relief—a freedom I had longed for. I was here for Anita, but she’s slipping further away. If she was gone, why stay? Why continue listening to my mother’s venomous words telling me I could be better than O

Chapter Hundred thirty-two

Darius’s POVI kept my face impassive as I followed Alpha Etan and the council members, even as resentment simmered beneath my calm exterior. They led me down a narrow path, deeper into the forest until we approached an old, hidden building I’d never noticed before. The sight of it sent a shiver through me. How could I not have known this place existed? I kept silent, unwilling to let them see my discomfort, as they ushered me inside.The room we entered was dimly lit, shadows clinging to the corners. A crowd had already gathered, their faces concealed behind masks. The anonymity gave the gathering an eerie, almost ritualistic feeling, and I felt out of place, like a stranger trespassing in a dark secret. A man handed me a mask as I took a seat beside Alpha Etan, who wore no disguise. He seemed to revel in his defiance, sitting openly among his followers as if daring anyone to call him out.I put on the mask, feeling a strange disquiet settle over me. Did Etan somehow see something in

Chapter Hundred thirty-three

Anita’s POVI sat alone in my room, the silence pressing in around me as I tried to make sense of everything that had happened. My thoughts drifted back to that terrifying night, to the dark pit I had fallen into and somehow escaped from. Despite the fear, a part of me knew that it was no accident. Something powerful had awakened within me, something my mother had always hinted at but I’d never truly believed.I ran my fingers along the edge of the bed, thinking back to the quiet conversations with my mother. She’d spoken about these powers, urging me to be patient, to prepare myself for the day they would return. But I had dismissed her words, doubting them as mere comfort. Now, regret gnawed at me. I should have listened. I should have trusted her. Despite my frustration, I felt a small spark of pride. Maybe patience did pay off after all. I closed my eyes, focusing my energy on a small object across the room. I let everything fade away, pouring all my concentration into that singl

Chapter Hundred thirty-four

Anita’s POVLuna Nora’s grip around my throat shocked me, but the real surprise was the reaction of those around us. Everyone in the palace grounds seemed frozen, their eyes wide as they watched the former Luna hold me with such malice, her fingers digging into my skin. The sheer force of her hatred was overwhelming. She looked at me as though I were an intruder in her domain, a mere obstacle she could crush. Why must she control everything? Why does nothing ever satisfy her?“Why is no one ever good enough for you, Nora?” I rasped, struggling to free myself. But instead of letting go, she began to laugh—a wild, unhinged laugh that sent a chill down my spine.“You’re nothing but a foolish little girl,” she sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. Her hand shot up, and before I knew it, she was about to slap me. No. I won’t just stand here and take it. I managed to catch her wrist, stopping her mid-swing.“Don’t you dare,” I said, my voice steady despite the pressure on my throat. Her

Chapter Hundred thirty-five

Maya’s POVAs I walked down the hallway ahead of Anita, an unsettling feeling gnawed at me. There was something wrong, a heaviness in my chest that refused to go away. I tried to ignore it, but with every step, the sensation only grew, a nagging discomfort that made me feel as if I were suffocating. What is happening to me? Why am I feeling like this? My conscience was stirring, a quiet voice that seemed to judge every action I’d taken.“I’m not doing anything wrong,” I told myself, my voice a faint whisper against the silence of the corridor. “I’m just surviving, doing what I promised Alpha Ethan I’d do.” I had sworn loyalty to him, agreed to do whatever he asked. And I had managed to bring Luna Nora into his web, just as he wanted, along with Darius. But still… something about this plan didn’t sit right. The thought of what they intended to do to Anita twisted my insides in ways I couldn’t ignore.Anita was my friend. She had always treated me with kindness, looking out for me even

Chapter Hundred thirty-six

Maya’s POVDespite my hesitation, I knew I had no choice. If I wanted to save Anita from the twisted web that Luna Nora and Alpha Ethan had spun, I had to tell her the truth. She deserved to know the danger lurking around her, and I couldn’t stand by and watch as they dragged her down in their twisted plans for Alpha Orion. My loyalty to Ethan felt like a burden, a weight that had lost all meaning in the face of what was right.I made my way slowly to Anita’s room, my mind racing, my heart pounding with anxiety. I stood outside her door for what felt like an eternity, staring at the wood grain as if it would somehow reveal the right words for me to say. Every instinct told me to turn back, to abandon this and stick to the plan. But deep inside, I knew that staying silent would only lead to more regret, more guilt I couldn’t bear.Just as I was about to walk away, I heard footsteps approaching. There was no place to hide, so I stayed put, trying to compose myself. Moments later, Anita

Chapter Hundred thirty-seven

Maya’s POV“That’s not enough reason for you to tell me all of this,” Anita said, her voice laced with suspicion. “Do you realize what it means? Telling me I’m in danger practically makes you a traitor to the ones who sent you.” She narrowed her eyes, searching my face for answers. “How do you know all this, Maya?”Her words struck me silent. I hadn’t planned on revealing my role so bluntly, yet here I was, teetering on the edge of betrayal. What am I supposed to say? How could I explain that I had been the one sent to eliminate her, to sever her connection to Alpha Orion, so that he would spiral into despair? But she had to know the truth—there was no way around it now.“I was sent here by Alpha Ethan,” I admitted, my voice barely a whisper. “My mission was to eliminate you, Anita. That’s why I came. I was never here to be your friend or ally. I was meant to carry out his orders and leave as soon as the job was done.”Her face paled, and she stepped back, her hand raised as if to shi

Chapter Hundred thirty-eight

Darius’s POVAs I drove back to the palace, my thoughts were a tangled web of ambition and fear. Anita’s face kept flashing in my mind, her trustful eyes, her unwavering faith in me—she had no idea what was being planned. How could I, of all people, betray her like this? But then, the pull of power gnawed at me, stronger than any guilt. It wasn’t just about keeping my mother in the royal family or holding onto our position. Alpha Orion needed to understand that he wasn’t the only one capable of holding power. He needed to see me, to fear me. Alpha Ethan was right: only after getting a taste of power could I ever truly understand what Alpha Orion clung to so desperately.But despite my yearning, I couldn’t shake the turmoil of treachery in what I was about to do. I clenched the steering wheel, forcing down my reservations. If only things could go as perfectly as I imagined them, I thought bitterly, then I wouldn’t be torn like this. But there’s no room for doubt. My desire for power su

Chapter Hundred thirty-nine

Darius’s POV“I’m going for that throne,” I whispered to myself, barely able to contain the surge of ambition swelling within me. “I’m sorry, Anita, but I can’t keep my promise of being the good person you thought I was. I crave the power, the respect. Look at me now—revered in secret meetings, hailed like a true leader.” I could still feel the thrill of how the council members had spoken to me, with admiration and deference. I wanted that all the time. I wanted Alpha Orion’s power. I wanted to be the one who commanded the room, who felt untouchable. And I’d have it. Soon enough, Orion would be forced to watch me take everything he valued right out from under him. He would feel helpless and humiliated, and he would know what it was like to be stripped of dignity.The next morning, Alpha Orion summoned everyone for a meeting. He called them regularly, but today I felt a thrill—today, I’d attend. I was done being his obedient, diligent brother. Today, I’d sit among them as an equal, and

Chapter Hundred Fourty

Anita’s POVI sat quietly in my room, nervously waiting while the council meeting was underway. I wasn’t permitted to join, and honestly, maybe it was for the best. I knew I’d be nothing but a distraction, especially with everything that had been unfolding lately. But even so, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to go horribly wrong. What if Maya couldn’t get the evidence we needed to expose Luna Nora’s schemes?Just as my mind began to spiral, a frantic knock echoed from the door. I rushed to open it, finding Maya on the other side. She stepped in quickly, her face tense, her eyes darting around the room as if expecting someone to overhear us. She locked the door behind her, then grabbed my arm and pulled me to sit beside her on the bed."Anita," she whispered urgently, "their plan has already started."Her words sent a chill down my spine. "Already? But...what are we supposed to do now? We didn’t even get the evidence we need against Luna Nora!"Maya shook her head
