“Are you sure he is inside?”
“Yes, Mother, but he won’t open up.”

The knock came again, but I ignored it, just as I had these past days, drowning in the same shock that had gutted me.
Stunned. Blindsided. Humiliated. Regretful. All because of the one person I never expected to rise above
Who would have thought? But then again, she had gotten away with it because Ash Pack members bear no
scent.
I had been a fool not to notice the hints. Back at the Lycan Kingdom, she shot arrows with skill, outmatching Kaela, the famed archer herself.
During the duel, she slaughtered a rogue cleanly, never once trembling. That, too, I dismissed.
And the worst, what tore me open, was the truth of who she really was the white wolf who once saved my life at the festival many years ago.
The hairpin had been hers all along, and when I saw it in her possession, I called her a thief. I believed it was Kaela who had saved me. I loved and worshiped Kaela, blind to the fact that I loved the wrong woman.
A shaky sigh left me as the knock echoed again. Still, I ignored it.
The money she had gifted me to save Hue Pack… so it had come from the compensation offered after the last warlord and his wife’s deaths?
I remembered the stories. I had not been there when the battle raged, but its aftermath was everywhere. Packs trembling in fear. Whispers of demons consuming our empire. No one dared step forward. Who in their right mind would?
Only the Ashmere answered. Only they stood against demons. That was why Ash Pack was revered above all.
And yet, the Moon Goddess fated me to their Alpha and I rejected her. Rejected Zeph. Shamed her under the ugliest of circumstances.
She was never happy here. I gave her nothing but grief. I never respected her, never touched her.
While others mocked and jeered at her, I turned away.
If only I had known who she truly was. If only…
“Nyroth, are you there?” My mother’s voice came again, but then Kai’s cut through.
“Move aside, Mother. I have a spare key.”

I sat on the bed, back turned, blanket pulled over me. I never imagined rejecting Zeph would cause this much ache, yet here I was drowning in it.
“Alpha Nyroth, there is something you must know,” Kai said hurriedly, but I ignored him.
