“I’m going to get some drinks,” Harper announced, clearly frustrated with my stubborn attitude.

She headed for the kitchen.

As I moved toward the couch, I thought I heard footsteps outside the apartment.

I paused, listening intently. Nothing.

Just my imagination. The night had been stressful enough to cause auditory hallucinations.

Harper returned with two ice–cold beers. “Let Alpha Sebastian go to his arranged mating meetings if that’s what he wants. Our Cecilia is perfectly fine on her own.”

I accepted the beer, popping it open and taking a long swig.

My fingers traced the condensation on the bottle. “Being honest, he’s… he’s a good man.

Exceptional in every way, actually. But someone with his status and responsibilities–his mating

choice isn’t entirely his own. He has obligations to his Pack.”

“When you were with Xavier, you never thought so-” Harper caught herself. “Never mind that

bastard. Speaking of Alpha Sebastian, I thought you were convinced he preferred men? You were

quite adamant about it before.”

“I might have… slightly misinterpreted things,” I mumbled, unable to meet her eyes.

The truth was, I couldn’t believe my appeal was strong enough to change someone’s s****|

orientation. Hedging my bets, I added, “Maybe he’s bisexual?”

Harper stared at me blankly.

We locked eyes, her expression growing increasingly incredulous.

Finally, she reached over and punched my arm. “What the f**k? Maybe he’s bisexual? But don’t

mess with my mental image of him–he’s supposed to be the cold, stoic Alpha who secretly has a tragic backstory and zero time for love!”

“Ouch! Why hit me for stating a possibility?” I laughed, dodging her next playful swing.

We wrestled briefly before collapsing back onto the couch with our beers.

Suddenly, Harper bolted upright. “Oh! I almost forgot to play you this absolutely explosive recording. It’s seriously mind–blowing.”

“Please don’t let it be something disgusting. I just ate and don’t feel like vomiting.”

“Of course not! Though speaking of disgusting things, Xavier was acting so strange earlier. When Cici tried to get intimate with him–God, the way he recoiled! Anyone watching would think he’d been forced into their relationship. He didn’t used to be like this, did he?”

Used to be…

What was he like before? I felt a momentary disorientation as I tried to recall.

“It’s to be expected,” I replied dryly. “Spend a year f*****g a psychopath and you’ll catch the crazy

too.”

“True enough,” Harper nodded, pulling out her phone.

She played a recording–a conversation between Cici and Luna Dora after dinner at the Blood

Moon Pack estate.

At first, there was silence, just the sound of footsteps. Then Cici spoke, her voice sickeningly

sweet.

“Luna Dora, can you please talk to Xavier for me? He’s been so cold lately. It’s breaking my heart.”

Luna Dora sounded flat, like she didn’t want to be there.“I can’t control how he treats you. If you feel like he’s mistreating you, you’re free to end the mating.”

Silence followed.

When Cici spoke again, her voice had changed–cold and threatening.

“Are you sure you want to talk to me like that? When I get upset, I tend to say… things. Things Alpha Claude might want to hear. Like about the human boyfriend you’ve been hiding.”

“And that woman overseas, the one trying to replace you? Her son’s nineteen now, right? Perfect

age to come back and challenge Xavier for his place. If your position gets shaky, all of Xavier’s

inheritance could be split.”

“You…!” Luna Dora gasped. “Cici White! You stole Xavier from Cecilia, and now you’re threatening

him too?”

“I’m not hurting him,” Cici said calmly. “I love him. You’re the one hurting him by not helping me.”

Luna Dora didn’t know how to respond. Her silence said it all. Then she snapped, full of hate.

“Don’t forget, Cici–your pregnancy is fake. I’m the one who lied for you. If you dare say anything

about me, I’ll tell Xavier the truth.”

“Go ahead,” Cici said, laughing softly. “Let’s both confess and see who dies first.”

“You’re insane,” Luna Dora said, her voice shaking. You could hear the fear.

Cici’s tone turned sweet again, which made it even creepier.

“I don’t want to hurt you, Luna Dora. But if you don’t listen to me, I’ll ruin you. I know a lot more about your secrets. I even have your nudes. Think about that.”

“You… you’re a demon,” Luna Dora whispered.

The recording ended with her crying.

Harper turned off the audio. “Well?” she asked. “That was intense, right?”

I sat there for a moment. “More than intense. That was nuclear.”

Harper leaned in, eyes wide.

“So Luna Dora has a human lover, Alpha Claude has a mistress and a secret kid overseas, and Cici faked her pregnancy? Damn. They’ll destroy each other without us doing anything. Xavier’s smooth

life is over.”

I didn’t say anything right away. I was thinking.

Then I said, “I think Xavier already knows all of this.”

Harper blinked. “No way. If he knew, why would he still agree to mate with Cici?”

“Because he knows what kind of person she is,” I said. “That’s exactly why he’s being careful.”

“But before, he said he’d rather leave the Shadow Pack than be with her.”

I gave a short laugh. “You really think he’d give up the Pack’s power? He knew they wouldn’t cut

him off. The Shadow Pack needs the Blood Moon connection more than the other way around.

Alpha Gavin stepped in to fix things, remember?”

I looked at her seriously.

“But this time it’s different. If he lets Cici go wild, it could cause a disaster. That secret werewolf

could come back, and Xavier might lose everything. So he’s thinking hard.”

I paused.

“Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Xavier really believes Cici is pregnant

and wants the baby. Maybe that’s why he came after me–to protect her.”

Harper took another sip, clearly shaken.“If you’re right, then the whole Blood Moon Pack is lying

and scheming. They’re all terrible.”

I shrugged. “Even good people can turn bad when they feel trapped.”

Then an idea came to me. I smiled and looked at Harper.

“I just thought of something. A way to get proof that Cici’s a killer.”

Harper looked worried. “What kind of idea?”

I asked, “Who hates Cici the most right now?”

“Luna Dora, for sure.”

“Then maybe… we should give Luna Dora a little help.”

“Whoa, this just took a turn..”

The next morning, Luna Dora received an anonymous package.

Opening it, she found a dossier inside.

+25 Points

At first, she was confused. The file contained a photo of a young man, along with his basic

information–which school he attended, the date he went missing… When she reached the end,

she was horrified to discover the connection to Cici.

That psychopath had actually killed someone!

Luna Dora covered her mouth in shock, trembling as she recalled Cici’s threat from the previous

night: If you don’t listen to me, I will kill you.

She reached for water, but her hands shook so violently that the glass fell and shattered, cutting

her leg.

The housekeeper rushed in. “Luna Dora, are you alright?”

Ignoring the blood on her leg, Luna Dora forced herself to calm down and examined the

documents again.

Who had sent this? And why?

Perhaps… a friend of this boy? Someone who learned about the Blood Moon–Shadow Pack

alliance and wanted to expose Cici’s crimes?

After a moment, she began to smile with a disturbed excitement.

The Goddess had blessed the Blood Moon Pack.

Cici White was a demon who needed to be eliminated before she destroyed them all!

She asked the housekeeper to find the address and phone number from the delivery slip and sent

a text message.

Buzz.

Cecilia stood outside her apartment, waiting for the elevator, when her phone buzzed in her

pocket.

She pulled it out, eyes on the screen as her fingers began tapping out a reply.

The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding. Without looking up, she stepped inside, still focused

on her phone.

She reached out to press her floor-

But the button was already lit.

Only then did she glance up…

And froze.

Someone was already in the elevator, standing silently behind her.
