Risa "That little witch!""How come she continues to spoil my plan? Every single one of them."Pacing back and forth in my room is still not calming my nerves at all. I need to get that bitch away from Janus and away from this pack.The only way I can achieve my plan is to make sure Janus is not distracted one bit. I have managed to throw that bitch away but it feels like she's crawled back, even though the maid Kydra looks nothing like Arley, the attitude and how she always becomes a problem is the same."Stupid, useless girl," I hiss to myself, slamming my fist right down onto the surface of my dressing table. The perfume bottles rattle loudly against the glass, and one small crystal vial tips over, spilling its sweet scent across the wood. I don't even care to pick it up as I stare hard into the mirror, my chest heaving up and down while my knuckles turn completely white.I can still see the calm look on her face back in the clinic while she was handling the herbs, behaving like

ArleyGetting to the maid quarters as instructed, the other maids are all lining up in the hallway with their hands clenched tight…some of them trembling.“What’s the matter now?” I whisper to one of them standing beside the wall. She looks up at me immediately, her expression filled with both fear and confusion.“There’s a maid inspection,” she breathes out quietly. “They’re searching everyone’s bags.”My stomach tightens instantly.“What?”She nods quickly before glancing nervously toward the end of the hallway. “Lady Risa said a valuable ring is missing. The chief maid is helping her search every room.”Another maid behind her scoffs softly under her breath. “This kind of thing has never happened before. She’s not even Luna yet but look at the drama she’s already bringing.”“Shh!” somebody hisses immediately.My fist clenches tightly at my side.My fist clenches hard at my side, is Risa suspecting anything? If they search my bag—I grind my teeth at the tension suddenly rushing thro

Ch.033

ArleyI stand in front of the stone frozen in place, my legs feel like they are buried into the ground. I can't move my hand. No… My body is trying not to attempt it because I know it will be the end for me the moment that stone glows.“What is it, Kydra?” Risa's voice slurs, making me flinch suddenly. “Not so bold to touch the stone? I thought you swore loyalty to Alpha Janus?” A grin drags her lips. Their red color mocking me.I look up and my gaze falls on Janus’ unreadable expression. His eyes planted on me. His jaws are clenched hard.I can't even dare to glance at Jane, she's my only last dice in this game Risa is playing. I take a deep breath, and step forward… stretching my hands, my eyes shut tight… my heart already racing, expecting the murmur that will disrupt the current silence in the hall the moment the stone glows.I finally feel the cold sensation of the stone, waiting for Risa's mocking voice…but it doesn't come, the entire place is still quiet. I open my eyes to see

Ch.034

ArleyRisa lets out a cold, shrill sound. Her laughter echoing in the balcony. "I knew it. I knew it was you, Arley. You’re pathetic."“Oh, you're so stupid Arley.” She drags as she leans closer, her hands dramatically hooked on her waists, smiling with her upper teeth.Shit! It's all over…it's really over.I squeeze my hand so tight until I feel the sting from my nails. I can't let her see how much she is getting under my skin.“I have no connection with you, Risa Sherwood… I am Kydra, a rogue maid and personal servant to Alpha Janus Beyhos.” I manage to grit out, shooting her a challenging glare.If she thinks I will cower, or kneel, crawl and beg her, she's getting the wrong idea in her head.I turn to leave without waiting for any more of her nonsense. But her words bury my feet in the ground.“What do you think will happen if Janus finds out his PERSONAL MAID is in fact a liar and a betrayal?”I hear my heart slam against the back of my chest. I understand exactly where she is ge

Janus"We need to move the ceremony to next week, Janus," Risa says, leaning over my desk while tapping her painted nails against the wood. I have been working non-stop trying to get a lot of shit working in the pack and this mating ceremony is the last thing I want to think about."The elders are restless, and the pack needs to see our power balance is secured." She continues when I don't respond.I don't look up from my ledger, my jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitches in my cheek. "The date stays where it is, Risa.""Are you forgetting what my family brings to your borders?" she presses, that fake sweet tone slipping away. "You need this alliance.""Risa, I've got a lot of things to do and we shouldn't be discussing this." I growl out, my voice dropping dangerously low.She flinches, her lips tightening into a thin line before she turns on her heel and stomps out of my study, slamming the door behind her.I let out a rough breath, rubbing my face with both hands as the familiar, b

Ch.036

ArleyI could have sworn I saw Risa stomping out of Janus' study last night as I was walking in after the guards summoned me.And since the heart-wrenching kiss with Janus… I feel my face heat up again at the thought of it and immediately cover my face with the book I am reading on my bunk.Damn, Arley... how can you be feeling this way for a man you know very well will never be yours? There are major reasons.One, Risa and Father will kill me. Two... I have a mate and I need to find him. Maybe I have to search through every rogue camp the moment I leave the Beyhos pack.Just then, Jane's voice cuts through my wild imagination."Ar... ughh Kydra?" she groans as soon as she steps into the maids' room.I jump up immediately before realizing it is her. "Jane? What is it?""Oh, Lady Risa requested you. Goddess, she's really such a bitch... how can such a person be related to an angel like you?" she murmurs.Lately, Risa's moods and temper have been all over the place, so her maids have be

JanusJoining Vantas for patrol around the pack this evening, as the guards reported they caught a whiff of strange rogue scents but it was immediately caught off around the pack house.“It could be an enemy masquerading as rogues…” Vantas suggests as we turn the corner of the pack house, following a trail of the scent.Just then a rustle comes from the woods, it may be far away but because of my Alpha heightened sense and Laycon feeling a little on the edge, I snap my head in its direction as Laycon whimpers, its ears perking up.My chest tightens up all of a sudden, a heavy wave of anxiety hitting me out of nowhere. Laycon begins clawing at the walls of my mind, pacing back and forth.This... this scent trailing into the deep woods belongs to Kydra.What the hell is she doing out here alone in the fucking dark at such a time?She's always around trouble, as if she has something that draws trouble to her. Everyone knows the part of the pack is very dangerous even though it's guarded

Ch.038

ArleyThe white ceiling of the pack clinic is the only thing looking down at me when my eyes open. My body is wrapped in three thick blankets, but the cold sweating won't stop. Every time I close my eyes, I see those yellow fangs snapping inches away from my neck.I know it was Risa. I know it down to my very bones. She didn’t just send me for herbs; she sent me to a graveyard."Drink this, Kydra," the head healer murmurs, placing a cup of warm willow bark tea on the small wooden table beside my cot.I just nod, keeping the blanket pulled all the way up to my chin. My hands are still shaking under the sheets. The urge to storm into Janus’s office and scream the truth is burning a hole in my chest. I want to tell him that his perfect fiancé is a murderer. I want to tell him that my father is a criminal who took him away from me even though we've been betrothed since we were little.But I can't. The moment I open my mouth, my real identity drops. If Janus finds out I am Arley Sherwood,

Ch.039

JanusThe iron chair scrapes loudly against the concrete floor as I slam both hands on the metal table, leaning directly into the rogue's bloody face."I'm going to ask you one last time, you piece of shit," I growl, my voice vibrating the small stone walls of the interrogation cell. "Who gave you the clearance codes for our eastern border patrol?"The rogue just grins, his yellow teeth stained with red saliva. He doesn't look like a wolf who is terrified of an Alpha. He looks like a man who knows he is already dead. His throat twitches once, a faint cracking sound coming from inside his mouth."Alpha..." Vantas warns sharply from the shadows behind me.Before I can grab the bastard's jaw, his eyes roll back into his head. Black, thick blood begins leaking rapidly from the corners of his mouth, his entire body going stiff before slamming forward onto the metal surface."Fuck!" I curse, ripping his head back by the hair.His jaw is slack. A small, crushed capsule of wolfsbane resin is

Ch.040

ArleyThe entire pack house smells like roasted boar, pine needles, and sweet honey wine. The Festival of the First Hunt is officially here, and the quiet corridors I usually hide in are now packed with loud, heavy-set wolves from three different territories. For a whole week, Janus has to lead the pack through rituals, running the borders at dawn and hosting contests until midnight before the final night of the Moon festival.Right now, the massive open courtyard is chaos. Large wooden banners flap in the wind, and long tables stretch from one end of the stone floor to the other."Move it, rogue!" a heavy cook snaps, shoving a massive crate of red apples into my arms.I stumble back, the wood digging into my palms, but I quickly balance myself and carry it toward the outdoor fire pits.This is my only chance. The elders announced that the food contest winner gets a good bar and a three-day travel pass to the border trading post—no questions asked. If I win this, I don't have to sneak
