"Don’t you ever get tired of destroying our lives, of meddling in everything? You’re ridiculous," I spit out, unleashing everything I feel in my chest. "You and Joshua deserve each other, deserve the mediocre life you have and all the crap you go through and will continue to go through." I stare at her. "That's why you could never be an Alpha Queen. You’re unfit. You’re cruel, you’re bitter... I hate you. Don’t ever cross my path again, understood?” “Jaden,” Joshua begins. “You can’t talk to her like that. Besides being Luna, she’s pregnant.” "Screw you, her, and your bastard, Joshua," I shout at the top of my lungs, even though I know I'm making a scene for everyone present. "She’s a murderer, a damn murderer! Can’t you do anything right? You can’t even get a concubine?” “I’m not a concubine…” she says, offended. "That's the only thing that offends you? Pathetic!" I roll my eyes. “I never want to see you again. I don’t want to know about either of you in my life. Forget about

#### JadenI was feeling like trash. I wasn't eating properly, wasn't bathing, and spent my time locked in the room next to Malia, waiting for her to wake up.Keeping her sedated was the best option. Mark was as desperate as I was since he couldn't sense Fawn's presence anymore.This indicated that losing the pup had broken her. Mark was disappointed with himself, and I felt empty."I can't believe I wasn't good enough for her to trust me," he growls inside my head."Mark, it wasn't your fault! It's not our choice," he licks his lips. "I mean, she needs time, let's just give her that..." I squeeze Malia's hands between my fingers. "I also want our mate to wake up and look at us, but... we have to deal with this!" I take a deep breath, filling my lungs.Two knocks on the door interrupt us. I mutter a brief "come in," feeling completely upset, and see Damon enter."We've got everything. We're leaving by plane," he says. "We'll leave and arrive so quickly, we won't even notice.""I don't

When I burst into that hospital room, Malia was having her blood drawn. Her eyes lit up with recognition and sadness when she saw me."Love," I say, drawn out and holding her hands, leaning slightly over her. "I'm sorry, I should have gone with you. I should have taken care of you, please forgive me!""No, Jaden!" She runs her fingers through my hair. "There's no one to blame in this story except that woman," she sighs, her eyes welling up with tears."I wish I had been here when you found out," I say bitterly. "I asked Paul... he...""It wasn't him who told me," she swallows hard. "Can we be alone?""Of course," I nod my head."Are these walls soundproof?" Malia asks, looking around."No," I frown.She nods and looks at Paul, who is still tending to her. "When can I leave?""Well, I think if you're going back to Luna's room, you're already doing well enough," he smiles weakly at her. "I'm sorry this happened, Malia.""I'm sorry too, doctor," she says in a whisper."Well, here are som

An entire month had passed since my last conversation with Jaden about the traitors. Deep down, he just wanted me to recover soon and so did I.Fawn was still absent, but I knew she was hiding somewhere, just waiting for the moment when she would be completely healed to face the situation head on.I also tried not to care as I paced back and forth in my dress meticulously chosen by me. I think it was the only thing Catherine didn't have an opinion on.Lately, we are not as close anymore and Jaden acts like it's no big deal. I mean, deep down, I know it's not a big deal, but I also wanted my will to prevail — and that didn't please the older one.She always organized all the events for that pack. She was always the center of attention and now that I had arrived, I understand why she is apprehensive.Deep down, I know exactly how she feels!I just don't want an important moment for me to be taken as a mere event. I'm going to become Luna of this pack and officially, a member. I really n

Catherine | Malia’s Arrival"Good morning," I muttered, grumpy."Good morning, dear," Paul said as he put on his lab coat."What time is it?" I asked."Late." He stared at me, his eyes scanning my entire body, and let out a long, drawn-out sigh. "How long are we going to live like this?""What do you mean?" I asked."How long are we going to ignore the fact that you don't love me? That, in reality, you hate me with all your might," he said through gritted teeth. "That we put on a show in front of others and that you are disgusted by me and my touch. That you wish for someone else... someone who wouldn't even look at you that way, to take you to bed and give you a child.""You don't know what you're talking about," I rolled my eyes, throwing the blanket aside and heading to the bathroom in our suite."Don't try to deny it, you told me everything last night," he muttered, rubbing his face. "But give it up, Catherine!""What did I tell you?" I asked, feeling the blood drain from my face
