They took my strength. They forgot my will to survive.
I never thought betrayal could feel so physical. Like your lungs forget how to breathe, your heart forgets how to beat.

I left before they could explain, before the walls could close in on me. But life wasn't done breaking me. Because an hour later, I was in the hospital, holding my twin brother's trembling hand while the doctor told me his body was rejecting every treatment. That his only chance of survival was a rare transfusion—something that only ran in the royal bloodline. And there was only one man left from that bloodline. The crippled alpha. The one no one had seen in years.
