Chapter 13
Aurora grew increasingly desperate, Kieran’s visits had dwindled to once a week, merely checking on the pup before leaving abruptly. He treated her purely as a vessel for his heir.
With only a month until Kieran’s planned departure for Norvaria, Aurora contacted someone from her past.
At dusk, a black vehicle stopped outside her den. A young male wolf emerged, his aura radiating casual arrogance, Axel Vale wore designer clothes, his handsome features carrying a rebellious edge every bit the entitled son of a wealthy pack
“Are you insane?” Aurora hissed. “Arriving so openly?”
Axel blew smoke in her face, smirking. “Afraid? You think Kieran doesn’t know about us?”
“The pup is yours,” Aurora stated bluntly.
“What?” Axel’s cigarette froze halfway to his lips.
The Vale Pack, ruling the neighboring Stone Valley territory, held more wealth than Kieran’s pack. But Axel, born to a mistress, was barred from the pack’s business dealings by ancient laws. He survived on allowance scraps.
“Go to Norvaria,” Aurora’s voice turned cold. “Deal with Thea.”
Axel stared at her, shocked by her murderous intent. “That’s extreme.”

“Power requires ruthlessness. Kieran will inherit everything. Our pup could rule – benefits for you.” Her eyes narrowed. “The Vale Pack will never let you prosper. Help me eliminate Thea, keep Kieran here, and I’ll ensure you never bow to them again.”
Moonlight filtered through the windows as Axel considered her words. Finally, he nodded. “I’ll leave tomorrow.”
He gripped her chin. “Betray me, and I’ll end you.”

Chapter 13
Meanwhile in Norvaria, Thea relaxed on her balcony after her studies, enjoying the warmth of a fire pit. A month away from toxic love had restored her spirit.
Her phone rang – Sarah calling. “Have you seen your mate’s handwritten letters? He’s posting daily on WolfGram.”
Thea frowned in disgust. “I’m not following territory news.”
“He records the whole writing process. The packs are starting to sympathize. Word is, he’s coming to Norvaria in a month.‘
Thea’s hands stilled. “I won’t see him.‘
“I know. But when that blood oath activates and he loses everything without winning you back… who knows what a desperate Alpha might do?”
Thea understood Sarah’s warning about her safety. True friends remained vigilant
“I’ll be careful.”
