Zeyneb

| found out that my husband, alpha Maybin, was making side deals with my b astard cousin, Maleck. He wanted to overthrow my brother with Maybin’s support. Maybin was a weak but ambitious alpha who would do anything to get recognition and more power. Maleck

promised him both once his plan succeeded.

Maybin was determined to marry me because he wanted power and money. He had no love for me in his heart but pretended he did, and like a fool, | agreed to marry him, thinking he truly loved me. | was betrayed. | could have left him long ago, but | couldn’t because it hasn’t even been five years yet for the treaty resurgence, where | could decide to terminate the agreement without putting us at a loss.

“Zeyneb,” my brother called. My vision was still blurry, and | felt weak from all the wolfsbane injected into me by Maybin when he learned | was planning my escape after | overheard his and Maleck’s plan. He didn’t want me to warn Ellis.

“I've never been so happy to see you,” | tried to smile, getting feet, but my knees were weak, and | fell, however, my brother c me in his arms.

Easy there, Zey, you’re weak,” He unbound my hands that were ti to the bed and carried me outside the room.

“| need some fresh air,” | whispered.

If

And a doctor,” he grumbled as he took me outside. Through my blurry vision, | could see the mess my brother did. There was broken furniture, and some guards lay on the floor in pain. As soon as the outside air made contact with me, | breathed in. | missed this. It felt like months since I’d been locked up in my bedroom when it was only

a week.

My vision became dark, and | felt limp in my brother's arms.

Beep, Beep, Beep.

My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing | did was raise my hand to touch my head. It was in pain... My whole body was in pain. | slowly scanned the room when my eyes adjusted to the brightness. | was in a hospital room, and an IV tube was attached to my arm.

The door opened, and my brother and his two friends, Michael and Jace walked in. The former smiled at me, but my brother looked furious. He was angry and releasing his aura carelessly.

It was suppressing my inner lycan since she was weak because of the drugs.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Your aura is suffocating. Tame it,” He couldn’t. He will need to calm down and it takes hours for alphas to neutralize their anger. That’s why they need to have mates or chosen ones. Only their touch can instantly tame their rage.

What happened, Zeyneb?” Ellis asked in a monotone. There was an icy chill in his eyes that would make anyone shudder. Where’s Maybin?”

He’s in a holding — tortured,” Jace answered with a smirk. | rolled m eyes. There was nothing they enjoyed more than torture, and Maybin was an idiot who deserved it. Did he think he could keep me here and my family wouldn’t suspect?

Michael bent down to kiss my cheek, and | smiled.

“You look terrible,” he commented.

“| feel awful,” | whined.

“|

Don’t worry. | have a new facial routine from Korea. I'll share with

you, and we'll get you back on track,” he said with an enchanting

smile.

Michael has been obsessed with his looks ever since we were children. He knew everything beauty-related on the market and got teased by his friends, but he didn’t let them get to him. | was happy he grew into it.

Why was Maybin holding you captive?” my brother questioned. His constant poker face is back on.

“| found out that he’s making deals with Maleck and was organizing a forced takeover of our pack since the elder council insists he has no right to claim it,”

“So Maybin offered to sponsor him?” Jace asked, and | nodded. Maleck is incensed. He thinks he is entitled to everything when he doesn't,” | informed them. | was still baffled by the situation up to now. Maleck had no right to the title. His father, Osward, forfeited his position to our father several years ago to elope and be with his w h ore mother. Osward stole funds and destroyed deals that took my grandmother years to make and almost ruined the pack. My father, Alpha Blanco, despite being young, stepped up, and brought the p to stability, and enlarged it to what it is.

My father was alpha for twenty-five years until he passed down title to my elder brother. Ellis was not only outstanding for the position, but fought every warrior who thought could challenge his birthright as per pack tradition.

He wouldn’t even win in a duel against Alpha Ellis. What was his plan?” Jace asked more to himself. Ellis was younger than Maleck, but my brother was the stronger, and faster.

‘All | know is a forceful takeover they are planning. He thinks once my brother is dead, no one can challenge him,” | explained. The men looked angry, and now their auras were flying around the room.
