Andrea's POV "You’ve been dodging my calls ever since we framed that b***h for Camila’s death," Darius snapped over the phone. "Don’t worry, my love. Soon enough, you’ll have your revenge, and we can finally be together." And just like that, he hung up—didn’t even wait for me to say a word. I really thought today would be different. I thought maybe, just maybe, I’d get through it without Emma crossing my mind. But no, Darius had to drag it all back up, reminding me of what we did to her. The memories of that day still haunt me like a plague. I can’t stop thinking about it—how could I do that to her? I keep asking myself over and over. I was supposed to be her best friend. She trusted me. She shared all her secrets with me. I was her everything—her only friend. I was the one person who didn’t treat her like dirt. I listened to her, stood by her, and knew how much she was struggling. And yet, I still betrayed her. What kind of friend does that? Everyone here in the Full Moon Pack looked down on her. They called her names—wolfless, worthless, lowly Omega. They treated her like garbage. But not me. I was supposed to be different. She worked herself to the bone for them, and what did they do? They threw rocks at her, both literally and figuratively, calling her things like: Murderer Jealous snake Evil liar She was just an orphan trying to survive. And the one thing she really wanted? Alpha Damon. She loved him with her whole heart—would’ve done anything for him. She’d never hurt him. But the second Camila, his mate, died, he pointed the finger at her. It’s sickening because I know what I did. I played my part in framing her. I helped Darius, my mate and the Alpha of the Shadow Fang Pack. And Camila? She was in on it too. At least, until she fell in love with Damon and decided she didn’t want to go through with the plan. That’s where everything fell apart. Camila’s father, Alpha Lance of the Red Moon Pack, had sent her to Full Moon Pack to be Damon’s mate, but that wasn’t the whole story. Camila was also supposed to help destabilize the pack by feeding intel to the Shadow Fang Pack, led by Darius. The goal? To bring Full Moon Pack to its knees. Camila wanted out. She didn’t want to betray Damon anymore. During the Luna Ceremony, she called Darius by the river, begging to quit the whole thing and just stay with Damon. And then Emma showed up. Darius had one of his spies—someone from the Full Moon Pack—kill Camila and frame Emma. He smeared Emma’s hands with Camila’s blood, knowing Damon’s grief and rage would cloud his judgment. Emma, with her weak status, was the perfect scapegoat. I hate myself for being part of it. I gave Darius more information about the pack than even Camila did. And the worst part? He didn’t force me. I joined the Full Moon Pack pretending to be a loner looking for a home, but it was all a lie. Revenge blinded me. And now, I have to live with what I’ve done. The only reason I came to the Full Moon Pack was to kill Alpha Damon. That’s it. His parents destroyed my life when I was just 10 years old. My dad was the Alpha of the Fierce Wolf Pack, and one day, Alpha Damon’s father showed up with his warriors and wiped us out—every last one of us. After that, he stole our territory and merged it with his own. That’s why the Full Moon Pack is so powerful today—biggest territory, strongest warriors, everything. And all of it? Built on the blood of my family. I barely escaped with my life. I still don’t know why the Moon Goddess let me live. There were times I wanted to die, just to be with my parents again. But then Alpha Darius’s father found me and took me in. When I turned 20, Darius and I realized we were mates. He was 25 then—it was early last year. I thought being with him would give me the strength to focus on my revenge, to finally get back at Damon for everything his family took from me. But I never planned to hurt Emma. Not once. She was my friend—more like a sister, really. What happened to her wasn’t part of the plan. Framing her was all Darius’s idea. He said it was the only way to avoid suspicion, but it cost me Emma. She would probably still be here if we hadn’t done that to her. And Camila? She died because of her father’s greed. Alpha Lance wanted power—he wanted to rule the Full Moon Pack with Darius. But he didn’t know who he was messing with. Darius is my mate, but I’ve never loved him. The mate bond tricked me into thinking I did, but deep down, I’ve always known the truth: Darius is a monster. He scares me. He’s pure evil—a psychopath, a maniac. When Camila crossed him, he told his men to rip her heart out. Who does that? Even though she betrayed him, what he did to her was insane. And the worst part? He didn’t care that she was Alpha Lance’s daughter. Alpha Lance didn’t have the guts to confront Darius about it. Instead, he played dumb, acting like he didn’t know who killed his daughter. Coward. That’s what he is—a spineless coward. Everyone blamed Emma for Camila’s death, and he let them. He went along with the lie to protect himself. If only Damon knew the truth. He thinks he’s so strong, so in control, but he’s blind to what’s happening around him. He has no idea he’s surrounded by frenemies—enemies pretending to be friends. Emma didn’t deserve any of it. She was a good person—the kindest I’ve ever met in my life. And what did I do? I stood there and called her a murderer. I let them torture her for days, and I didn’t lift a finger to stop it. I should’ve protected her. I failed her, and I’ll regret it forever. Wherever she is, I hope she’s safe. But Damon? He’ll pay. I won’t leave this pack until I’ve made him suffer for what his parents did to my family, to my pack. He’ll pay for all of it.
