CHAPTER 82- You're Too Nice

82ISABELLAVictoria walked away, the sharp click of her heels fading down the carpeted hallway until the heavy oak doors of Derek’s wing closed behind her. The second she was out of sight, the freezing pressure behind my eyes snapped. My knees buckled slightly, and I grabbed the stone molding of the archway to keep from falling as my mind rushed back into the driver's seat of my own body."Don't do that," I whispered into the empty corridor, my voice shaking with a mix of leftover adrenaline and sheer exhaustion. "I told you not to take control like that. Stop doing it."Oh, please, the witch snapped back in my head, her mental voice a sharp, irritated hiss that made my temples throb. You're still trying to be nice? You're pathetic. Your husband literally replaced you in less than two days, Isabella. After you've been with him for two years, enduring his bitterness, his anger, and cleaning up his messes. Everyone else in that family left him when he lost his legs, except for you. You

CHAPTER 83- Framed

83ISABELLAI drove back to the pack estate in absolute silence, the steering wheel slick beneath my cold palms. The dashboard clock glowed a faint, clinical blue, ticking past midnight. When I finally slipped through the back entrance of the main house, the air inside was thick with a frantic, suffocating energy.Nella was waiting for me in the foyer, pacing a tight line across the rug, her hands twisting a stack of linen napkins. The moment she saw me, she sprinted over, her voice a sharp, terrified whisper. "Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere. There is no time to rest, Lady Isabella. The Council just pushed everything forward. They are having the official coronation tomorrow morning."I stopped, my hand freezing on the doorknob. "Tomorrow? They just arrived yesterday.""They want to establish order after the wedding attack," Nella said, her eyes wide with panic. "And as the Luna, the burden falls entirely on you. You have to host the entire event. The banquet

CHAPTER 84-Regret

84ISABELLAThe iron grip of the guards didn’t slacken for a second as they dragged me backward off the plush carpet of the dais. My heels scraped sharply against the polished marble, the sound cutting through the stunned hush of the ballroom. I kept my eyes locked on Derek, waiting for a flicker of hesitation, a single muscle twitch in his jaw that would tell me this was all just a bad nightmare. But his face remained an absolute, terrifying void.The lead councilman stepped into the space between the thrones, his heavy gold rings catching the ambient light as he smoothed down the front of his tailored suit jacket. He looked at Derek, offering a slow, calculated nod of approval that made my stomach turn."You are making the right choice, Alpha Derek," the councilman said, his deep, authoritative voice carrying effortlessly over the murmuring crowd. "If you didn’t act swiftly tonight, you would look weak to every single ally in this room. As a new Alpha, you have a reputation to maint

CHAPTER 85- Bribed

85ISABELLAThe cold from the stone floor seeped straight through the fabric of my dress, numbing my skin until my bones felt like ice. I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Derek’s completely empty expression flash-fried my brain, keeping my pulse spiking in a continuous, exhausting rhythm. The single bulb above me flickered rhythmic shadows across the cracked concrete.Then, a faint, metallic scrape echoed from the top of the stairwell.I scrambled to my feet, my stiff joints popping, and pressed my face against the rusted iron bars of the cell door. I expected to see a guard, or maybe Rohan returning with newsAnd I even had a tiny hope it might be Derek. Maybe Rohan managed to speak to him and he was letting me go.But no I was wrong. Instead, a small, cloaked figure hurried down the corridor, her breathing frantic and shallow. When she stepped in looking through the cell the dim light showed her features.“Lady Isabella,” she breathed as if she had been sear

CHAPTER 86- Cat’s Out of the Bag.

86ISABELLAMy heart stammered, though I wasn't the one he was referring to, the harsh tone of his voice was enough to affect me too.Ravena let out a choked sob, turning on her heel and running through the dark woods, the remnants of her wedding dress catching on the brambles as she went.I leaned against Rohan’s chest, my breath rattling in my throat. I actually felt a little bit bad for her. She was a monster, yes, but she was also in love.Her wedding just got ruined by her husband, I couldn’t imagine how she felt.Rohan looked down at me, his hands anchoring my shoulders. "Are you okay?”I gave a stiff, mechanical nod. "I’m fine. Thank you, Rohan." But then the reality of the situation crashed back over me, and I violently shook my head, my fingers clawing into his jacket. "No. No, I’m not fine. Derek just threw me in jail, Rohan. I have to go back."Rohan stared at me as if I had completely lost my mind. "What are you talking about? I am not letting you go back to that dungeon."

CHAPTER 87- The Cabin

87ISABELLA“How much further,” I whined out of breath with my legs aching as we wandered through the forestRohan kept a firm grip on my hand, pulling me through a thick canopy of pine trees. "Just manage a little bit further, Isabella," he said, his voice a low whisper as he looked over his shoulder to check on me. "It’s just a few more miles."I swallowed the lump of exhaustion in my throat and nodded, forcing my legs to keep moving. After another ten minutes of navigating the dark brush, the dense trees suddenly cleared. Up ahead, nestled tightly against a steep rock face, sat a small wooden structure.I paused, wiping a strand of hair from my face. I was honestly surprised. It wasn't huge by any means—just a simple, weathered log cabin with a faint light glowing through the small front window—but it was significantly better than the damp, concrete floor of the dungeon I had been sitting in hours ago."Did you just randomly have this place waiting?" I asked, looking up at him as w

CHAPTER 88- Denial

88ISABELLA"Isabella, wake up," a deep voice whispered urgently.I snapped my eyes open, my heart instantly racing as I sat up sharply in the bed. The room was dark, lit only by the grey moonlight filtering through the small cabin window. I looked to my right and froze. Rohan was sitting right there on the edge of the mattress, his face inches from mine."Why are you in bed with me?" I demanded, my voice tight as I pulled the thick wool blanket up to my chest.Rohan blinked, looking entirely exhausted as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I was sleeping on the bed, Isabella. You came to me. You walked into the room in the middle of the night and lay down right next to me.""You're lying," I snapped, the words jumping out before I could think. "I don't sleepwalk. I’ve never done that in my entire life."He isn't lying, the cold voice of the witch suddenly purred in the back of my mind, making my temples throb. I came to him, I won’t lie you’ve influenced me. I see exactly why you like h

CHAPTER 89

89ISABELLAI looked up at Derek from the cold marble floor, the heavy iron chains rattling against my wrists with every breath I took. The metal was freezing against my skin, but the cold inside my chest was much worse. I forced myself to meet his eyes, my voice coming out small and cracked. "You told Cyrus you wanted to talk. That’s the only reason I came back. I thought... I thought you finally looked at the evidence."Derek didn't flinch. He didn't even lean forward in his wheelchair. He just looked down at me like I was a stranger who had inconvenienced him. "I asked Cyrus to tell you that because I knew exactly how desperate you were for my validation, Isabella. I knew it was the only way to get you to stop running and walk back through those doors willingly." He adjusted the heavy gold signet ring on his finger, his tone entirely casual. "You should be glad there were no casualties at that cabin tonight. It makes the execution much cleaner."Hearing those words, a tiny, fragile

CHAPTER 90- F

90ROHANThe lead councilman slammed his fist onto the long mahogany table, the wood groaning under the force. "This is absolute absurdity!" he shouted, glaring down at Rohan from the elevated tier. "Derek is clearly the Alpha this pack needs right now. He has stabilized our borders. There is absolutely no need for us to even consider another person to claim the crown, let alone a rogue who abandoned his duties."From the far end of the table, an older councilman with deep lines etched into his face leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "You would say that, Councilman Vance, because you are directly benefiting from Derek’s rule. Your son Cyrus was literally just appointed as the new Beta minutes ago. If this is a case of personal interest, it might be better if you sit this discussion out entirely."Vance scoffed loudly, waving his hand dismissively, but Rohan didn't miss the sharp bead of sweat that suddenly rolled down the man's temple. When Vance spoke again, his voice got noticeably

CHAPTER 91- Nemesis

91ISABELLAI was pacing the length of the small holding room, my boots clicking rhythmically against the stone floor. My hands wouldn't stop shaking, so I clamped them together, pressing them against my stomach. The iron chains had been taken off my wrists, leaving raw, red welts behind, but the skin still burned."Isabella, sit down. You need to relax," Bellamy said from the corner of the room. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, watching me with a steady, calm gaze. "Rohan is going to be safe. They aren't going to execute the rightful blood heir without a trial. Rohan knows what he’s doing."I stopped pacing and looked at him, my mind spinning with everything that had just happened in the grand hall. I had so many questions running through my head, eating away at me. "Did you know?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "Did you know Rohan was the rightful heir this entire time?"Bellamy sighed, shaking his head slowly. "No. I had no idea. And honestly, it’s
