Daphne’s POVI sat beside Zachary, watching him quietly as he slept. The doctor had checked on him earlier and strictly ordered him to rest. His healing was almost complete, but not entirely.The wolf’s bane had done terrible damage to his system. Forcing it out of his body had taken nearly all his strength.Hillary visited earlier but excused herself after a short while. The elders left soon after. So did Ken.Ken.A wave of guilt settled in my chest when I thought about him. I felt bad for how everything had turned out. I would call him later and apologize. Even though he smiled while saying goodbye, I could tell it wasn’t genuine. It didn’t reach his eyes.Zachary shifted suddenly, drawing my attention back to him. He stirred, then opened his eyes slowly.There was no pain in them anymore. I could feel it.We stared at each other for a long moment before I cleared my throat and looked away.“I see you’re better now,” I muttered. “You should learn to take care of yourself. It took a

Daphne’s POV“Daphne, are you sure about this?” Daisy asked, following me as I pulled my hoodie from the closet. “You really think going back there is a good idea?”I nodded - even though the lie tasted bitter in my mouth. I felt terrible about it, but I didn’t have another choice.I couldn’t tell them someone was after my life. They would lock me inside the house and worry themselves sick.“Daphne, I don’t believe your excuse at all,” Daisy said, concern heavy in her voice.Of course she didn’t believe me. She knew me too well.“You don’t have to worry. It’s just for two weeks, and I’ll be back,” I assured her.She wasn’t convinced.“You told me everything you went through in Bateview. And you’re still going back to those animals who bullied you?”It was different this time.I hadn’t told her Zachary was the one who orchestrated the bullying. If she found out, she would explode. I only told her about the bullies without mentioning names.It would be a disaster if she discovered that

Daphne's POVThe drive to Bateview took an hour longer than usual. The entire ride felt too quiet - like the calm before something terrible.We arrived at the dorm, and he pulled over in the parking lot."You will be staying in the student council's quarter so I can keep a close watch on you," he said immediately we both stepped out of the car.I have never been to the student council quarters but I heard it was luxurious.We went out of the packing garage, and came into contact with some students. Immediately they saw us, they turned and took a different road.Zachary and I exchanged eye contact, but we shook our heads, shoving the thought away. No. This wasn't a coincidence.This was fear.We went into the dorm hall. Immediately we stepped in, all the students who were gathered around, talking or playing with their friends quickly stopped. They all looked down and one by one, began to walk away."What is going on?" I asked. "It seem as if they had seen two monsters walk in." And

ZACHARY'S POVI abruptly stood up and slammed my palm on the table. The room trembled under my authority - not just my anger.I fisted my hand, clenching my jaws. I was about to lose control again."Alpha, we don't mean bad for you. We are only looking out for the safety of the pack," Mr. McCoy said.Safety of the pack, but in turn, putting Daphne in danger?Bruce walked in at that moment. "Zachary, they are right. I told you this earlier and now, they also see things as it is."I slammed my fist, this time, dividing the wooden table into two."So," I said, gritting my teeth. "You want me to reject her. To reject my mate-" The bond flared violently inside my chest, as if warning them what that would cost. My wolf almost lost it but it took a great deal of control to suppress it. "Because you think it's the best solution?" I asked."Alpha, I know this doesn't seat well with you, but thousands of lives are in jeopardy right now. If we don't act on it, it would ruin the pack and the sc

DAPHNE'S POV I don’t know how long I’ve been in this cell.The darkness is so thick it feels alive — pressing against my eyes, crawling into my lungs.I can’t tell if it’s day or night. I can’t even tell if I’m still sane.It was a terrible isolation made only for criminals and somehow, I had become one of them.I held my knee close to my chest. Was Zach searching for me?He must have found out I was gone, but it would be too hard to know where I am.The spell in the detention blocks off scents, and even bonds. I couldn't feel the bond, and it wasn't like before when I could still feel the tiniest bit of it in its weak state. This time, it was completely cut out.Nothing at all.They were going to kill me.Quietly. Secretly.Like I had never existed.And when it was done, the pack would finally breathe in peace - relieved that the cursed girl was gone."Zach," I called quietly. "Where are you?"I know I promised myself not to rely on him for my protection, but his name was the only t

DAPHNE'S POVThe scratching stopped after that night.No more scraping.No more whispers.Just silence thick enough to suffocate me.There was someone or something behind the wall. I never spoke to that person, but I knew they were trying to reach out.It's been three days now. Three days of total silent, three days of not knowing what my fate is, and three days of not having anything to eat.My body had started eating itself just to survive.My stomach rumbled and I groaned. Every muscle in my body screamed in protest. The cage or room was too low to move about. I have been sitting for three days. I can't feel my legs anymore.The guards stopped coming too. Which meant someone wanted me forgotten.I swallowed hard and turned to the other side. The floor was cold, so was the wall. I had to choose one for my comfort.When would someone come for me? I wondered. Has Zachary found out I'm missing? Is he searching for me? Why haven't anyone visited? Was their plan to make me die and rot h

Zachary’s POVDaphne is gone.I can’t feel her, not even through the bond. I tried reaching for her presence, trying to sense where she is, but something is blocking me completely.They said she left and never returned, but that makes no sense. There’s no way she would just disappear without taking anything. Not even her phone.Her phone was found on the floor of the student quarters dorm room.It’s been with me ever since, and I have been secretly investigating what really happened. They all think I have let it go. They think I’m just angry that she left.But I know she didn’t.It’s been two days. Two long, suffocating days, and still no progress.But I won’t give up. I will find her. And if something has happened to her, everyone will pay for it.The pack, the school, the very place I have sacrificed so much to protect, I will ruin it myself if I have to. I don’t care if I’m labeled the villain Alpha.I drove out of the school grounds and pulled over in front of a café. Pushing the

ZACHARY’S POVThey are planning to execute Daphne.They are planning to kill my mate.I should have known. I should have seen this coming from the very beginning. I never should have brought her back here. I walked her straight into the lion’s den and handed them the knife.But if I had left her behind, would she have been safe? No. She was never safe. Not anywhere.I stormed into the meeting hall. Chairs scraped against the floor as they all stood abruptly, shock written across their aging faces. They hadn’t expected me.Good.I remained by the door for a moment, letting the silence suffocate them before I walked in with slow, deliberate steps. I was calmer than I expected to be. Too calm. The kind of calm that comes before devastation.I couldn’t afford to lose control. Not at that moment. I needed to know how to reach the detention block before I killed every last one of them.I took a seat and crossed one leg over the other. “Where is Daphne?” I asked evenly.They exchanged glance

Daphne’s POVThe words of the stranger kept ringing in my head.A catalyst? What did she mean by that? A destroyer? A trigger? I had so many thoughts swirling in my mind, but none of them felt right. Maybe she was just messing with me, but a deeper part of me believed she wasn’t lying.If she knew my name and everything that had happened to me while she had been locked up for three years, then she knew more than I did.Ever since that conversation, she had gone silent. No words, no whispers, and not even a faint sound from where she had been.I tried reaching out again, but all I got was silence. She wouldn’t respond, and the others warned me not to anger her, that it would be dangerous. Everything about this place was strange. Even the people locked up here were strange.And I was beginning to act like them.I folded my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.My stomach ached terribly, as if my insides were being twisted and pulled. I didn’t know how much longer I could su

Daphne’s POV“Execution happens at dawn.”Her words echoed over and over in my head. So this had been their plan all along. They sent Edna to break me. And when she failed, she revealed the truth, that they were going to kill me.They wanted me shattered. I didn’t break when Edna tried to manipulate me, but something inside me did snap the moment she mentioned execution.What had I done to deserve this? Why was I hated so much?No. This couldn’t be the end. I couldn’t die like this. I had to do something. I had to escape.But how? I had no plan, no strength, and no help.I still wanted to uncover who was behind all of this, but now it felt like I had walked straight into their trap, and there was no way out.They couldn’t win. They couldn’t break me. I had to survive.Suddenly, my blood began to boil, and I mean literally. I could feel it surging through my veins, burning hot. Every part of me felt like it was on fire. The cell floor was freezing, the walls were cold stone, yet I was
