Chapter 1

I was framed and lost my pup. But my mate, Alpha Byron, protected the killer, Ariana. He was even willing to harm my own mother and brother for her."Sandra has to forgive Ariana publicly."Byron's voice cut through the wall from the next room.I pressed myself against the wall, holding my breath."Alpha, but she just lost the pup—"“That’s exactly why we have to shut this down. Now,” he cut his Beta off. “I can’t lose anyone else.”“The only way this ends peacefully is if Sandra forgives Ariana in public. If she refuses, cut off her mother’s supply of Moonpetal."My heart stopped.Ever since my mating ceremony, my mother had been struck by a mysterious blood curse.Moonpetal was the only thing keeping her sane.Without it, the curse would shatter her mind within three days.“Alpha, that’s cruel!” Pain strained Byron’s voice. “I know it’s cruel, but she has to learn to put the pack first. I’m protecting her from more pain! After the ceremony, I’ll apologize to her myself and double th

I forced my expression to crumble, to look weak and helpless."I was thinking about Liam." My voice trembled, just enough. "He's still in that dungeon, and I can't do anything."Byron's suspicion eased. He walked toward me, that familiar, "loving" look on his handsome face."Pup, I know this is hard." He reached out to touch my cheek. "But you have to trust me. I'm working on it."Working on it?Working on a way for my brother to die in that cell?I didn't pull away from his touch, even though his fingers on my skin made my stomach churn."Byron, tell me the truth." I looked up at him, my eyes full of faked desperation. "Was it really an accident? Did Ariana really just lose control?"His eyes flickered. It was tiny, but I saw it."Of course it was an accident." His hand slid to the back of my neck, his voice softening. "Sandra, you can't let your grief cloud your judgment. Ariana is your best friend. Why would she ever deliberately—""Then why are the elders protecting her?" I cut him

Byron knocked on my door early the next morning."Ready?" he asked, his face a mask of tired tenderness. "I think you need to see Liam for yourself. So you can understand the position I'm in."I nodded and followed him to the dungeons.The Blackwood dungeons were built in the deepest part of the territory, the thick stone walls covered in ancient runes that suppressed a wolf's power.The air was thick with the reek of silver and despair."He's in the deepest cell," Byron said. "For the charge of treason."Treason.What a joke.We walked past rows of iron bars, past the rogues and criminals locked inside.Their eyes followed us with fear and hatred.Finally, we stopped at the last cell.And I saw him.Liam.My brother.He was shackled to the wall with silver-etched chains, his hands pulled high above his head.The silver had burned deep wounds into his skin, crusted with dark, dried blood.A werewolf's healing ability was useless against it."Liam?" I gripped the iron bars, my voice tre

By the time I got back to our rooms, rage and humiliation were burning through my veins.No more waiting.No more watching him play his twisted games.I was going to confront him. Rip away that perfect mask once and for all.An hour later, Byron returned.He walked through the door carrying a thick, chaotic scent.It was a mess of Ariana’s sharp floral perfume, his own cedarwood scent, and a faint, unsettling undertone of blood and herbs.His face was etched with exhaustion, his shirt cuffs wrinkled and messy.He saw me and froze for a second, then tried to force a smile. "Sandra? You're still up?"I stood in the center of the living room, arms crossed, cold as a block of ice. "Where were you?""Handling a... difficult situation."He walked to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a whiskey, his hand not quite steady."A difficult situation?" I sneered, stalking toward him. "Or was it just another one of Ariana's 'emergencies' that only you could handle?"His hand froze mid-air. His ba

After Byron left, I was alone on the floor.Weak.Hopeless.Humiliated.The evidence of our three years together surrounded me.Our photos on the wall, the jewelry he gave me on the table, the books we read together on the shelf.All of it mocked my stupidity.I struggled to my feet, using all my strength to get to the wall."Go to hell."I grabbed a vase and hurled it at our first photo together.The sound of shattering glass echoed through the room.My rage took over. It was a blur of shattering glass and splintering wood. I tore the room apart, reducing every symbol of his lies to wreckage. The jewelry box, the expensive decorations—all of it, garbage."Die!" I screamed. "All of it, just die!"I shattered his necklaces under my heel, ripped his letters to confetti, and stomped on every beautiful memory until it was nothing but dust.I kept going until I had no strength left to stand.I collapsed among the wreckage, gasping for air. Without my wolf, I was weaker than a human.Two hou

Cold silver chains bit into my wrists.I woke up tied to a metal chair in an abandoned warehouse.Crumbling concrete walls and rusted machinery surrounded me.My head was splitting."She's awake," a rough voice said.I looked up to see three rogues circling me.Their eyes glowed with a wild light, their faces twisted into sadistic grins."Finally awake, little princess," one of them said, walking toward me. "We've been waiting for you.""What do you want?" My voice was a weak rasp."It's not what we want," another rogue grinned. "It's what your Alpha wants."Alpha?"Byron?""That's the one." The first rogue pulled a communicator from his pocket. "He said you weren't behaving. That you needed a little... lesson."The communicator crackled to life."She's here, Alpha. Secure."Byron's voice was a tired rasp on the other end. "Just watch her. Leave her alone for three days. Let her calm down. I'll pick her up after."The connection went dead. The rogue grinned, a slow, ugly stretch of his

My teeth tore through the skin of Ariana's throat.The taste of blood exploded in my mouth."Ahhh!" she screamed, stumbling back, clutching the bleeding wound. "You lunatic! You bit me!"Blood gushed between her fingers, staining her elegant black dress."Kill her!" she shrieked at the rogues. "Teach this bitch a lesson!"The first lash hit my back.The silver-laced whip tore through fabric and flesh, the poison searing my veins like fire.Without my wolf's healing, the pain was a fire burning through my nerves."This is what you get for biting me!" Ariana howled, still clutching her throat.The second lash. The third.Each one landed precisely on my back, my arms, my legs.The silver kept the wounds from healing, blood weeping from the torn flesh."Is that enough?" one of the rogues asked."No!" Ariana's eyes burned with a mad fire. "Break her leg! I want her to know what happens when you defy me!""Wait, Miss Ariana, the Alpha said not to—""I said break her leg!" Ariana screamed. "B

I didn't turn around.I didn't even grant him a single glance."Our ending," I said, my voice completely flat.His footsteps got closer. And then he saw me.The moment his eyes landed on my injuries, all the color drained from his face.He rushed toward me, reaching for my leg, but his hand trembled violently in mid-air."Your leg... your injuries... Who?! Who did this?! I told them to protect you!" His voice was a raw, strangled sound, a mix of pure fury and agony. A wildfire ignited in his golden eyes.I watched him, my own eyes cold and empty.What a brilliant performance. The perfect picture of a devastated mate, finding out too late.He probably thought he could fool me.But he didn't know. I'd heard the order from his own lips. The one that threw me into hell.Playing the part of the devoted mate now? It just made me sick."You don't know?" I asked, my voice calm."Know what?" he roared, losing every ounce of his Alpha composure. "Who hurt you? Tell me! I swear I'll make them pay

Byron's POVI kicked the door open to the room where they were holding Ariana. She was sitting on the bed, crying."Byron!" She saw me and flew into my arms. "You're here! Thank the Goddess! Those rogues… what have they done to Sandra? I heard she's badly hurt—""Shut up." I shoved her away. "This is your fault. You let them hurt her.""Byron, are you crazy?" Ariana’s tears fell harder. "Sandra's lost her mind! You can't possibly believe a word she says! How could I ever go against your orders and harm her?"I stared into her eyes, searching for a single sign of a lie.But her tears felt real. Her pain looked genuine."Have you forgotten, Byron?" She grabbed my hand. "I saved your life. You would be dead if not for me. And I was the one who told you Sandra was cursed. I was trying to save her, how could I possibly hurt her?"She saved my life.Those words cooled the rage burning inside me."But Sandra—""She hates me because I accidentally caused the death of our child," Ariana sobbed.

Byron's POVI was on my knees, the pain in my chest making it almost impossible to breathe.But I forced myself to stand.Those papers... they weren't just papers.What the hell had Sandra done to me?It didn't matter. Even with the bond broken, I still had leverage.I still had Liam.My hands trembling, I opened a mind-link to the dungeon guards."Marcus!" My voice was a raw, ragged sound. "Report on Liam's condition. Now!"A few seconds of silence."Marcus? Answer me!""Alpha..." Marcus's voice was shaking badly. "I... I...""Speak!" I roared. "What happened?""Liam... Liam's gone!"What?"What do you mean, gone?" My voice dropped to a low growl. "He was chained in silver in the deepest cell! How the hell could he be gone?""The Silver Moon pack," Marcus choked out. "Their warriors stormed the dungeons. They broke him out!"My blood ran cold."When?""Twenty minutes ago! Alpha, we didn't have time to react! They were too fast!""And the other guards?" I snarled. "And what were you wo
