I’ll kill them all for the s**t they keep putting me and my fated mate through. It was only a matter of time before they figured out I wasn’t from this pack—but neither is half of Michail’s family. They promised her to me when she was still a teenager. Promised me the cursed one. Promised me power. And she ruined everything. Every step, every choice, she disobeyed me. She destroyed the life that should have been ours. Being locked in this f*****g cell, I can feel the walls closing in. If my mate finds out I’m rotting here instead of doing my job—lowering defenses, letting our spies through the cracks—I’ll be the one paying the price. Ryan—or Dahynael, whatever smug name he goes by—already knows too much. He sniffed out that Doniel isn’t real, that I don’t belong here. How, I don’t know
