AARON SHROVAMy alliance with the Scarletmoon pack was to join our armies. Rogues across borders united to attack weaker packs. Moreover, the pack had useful resources like gold in abundance, and we had fertile land for farming.I got back to Moonray the next day. I didn't see much of Deva since we spoke after dinner. It seemed like she intentionally chose to avoid me, only saying goodbye when it was time for my departure.Had I bruised her pride when I said I wasn't going to give her any form of romantic affection?I did not want to lie to her or deceive her. It was better if she knew what she was getting into beforehand.This room, my chambers, is the only place left where I control the silence. Dark oak panels swallow the light. The curtains stay drawn, even in the day. The fire burns low, steady. Always steady.No one comes in here except for my Luna, who is also my confidant and my beta.The scent of fresh leather and steel lingers. My bed is untouched, made to perfection, as if

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ"There she is," Alpha Cain smiled as I entered the dining hall.The delegates of the Moonray pack stood, and so did Aaron.My eyes were focused on him, and his were on me. A surge of warmth and anger filled me at the same time.What am I supposed to make of this?All the questions I wanted to ask him flooded through my mind.Why did you leave?Why did you abandon me?Did you ever love me?Yet, all I could do was swallow them as he laid his eyes on me. His hair was neatly styled, not a single one out of place, there was a little stubble on his face that made him look manly. He had matured so much since I had last seen him in person. I watched him from afar all the time he had left me behind to rot away like a dirty little secret he buried underground, hoping no one would ever dig it up."Princess Deva," he left his seat inching towards me, and my heart rate accelerated. "It is an honor to meet with you. I heard you were unwell, and I am grateful that you have r

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ.I was once royalty, many years ago before Aaron's pack and mine got into a war and they won over us, taking all we had. His father was a tyrant, the entire generation of Shrovas were tyrants. They turned the survivors into slaves, servants, and those who resisted they murdered in cold blood.My parents and brother died protecting me, my father and brother on the front walls, my mother by my side and the women's.I will never forget the day the crown was taken away from my head at the age of eleven and shackles were given to me instead. I will never forget the day I had to walk with my legs and hands bound. How my people scowled and abandoned me because my parents had failed to mobilize our army in a way that was enough to save us all.What I will never forget the most is meeting Aaron Shrova. I was in the fields working when I heard a piercing scream from the back of the corn stalks and I ran to see what it was.A shiny blonde-haired boy with blue eyes that b

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZI glanced at the little feast of food in front of me, yet I had no interest in having a single bite.I tried looking around the room for clues, anything to give me clarity.I looked under the bed, in the drawers, through the swarm of heavy dresses and shoes. Yet, all I had was the note.The more I tried to go through it again, the more my heart sort of ached.This woman had tried to end her life while I fought to keep mine. What happened to you, Deva?I looked through the window, and instinctively my eyes averted to the side to a painting of a beautiful red rose.Why is something so beautiful hidden away?I sighed, reaching for it, and immediately I took it away and found a hole in the wall.Bingo.This is what I'm looking for. I need to know more about you, Deva, and how I must've gotten into your body.What if she's in my body? I thought. I hoped not; she would resent life even more if she had my body.I stuck my hand into the hole, blindly searching, and th

DEVA LOREN/LANA ALVAREZI stirred uncomfortably in my bed, finding it softer than usual. Groaning, I opened my eyes to discover myself in an unfamiliar place.Where am I?As I attempted to sit up, my head rang, and dizziness set in.Okay?I decided to lay back down instead. That's what I needed.Looking around, I couldn't make sense of my surroundings. The last thing I remembered was blood spurting out of me as my killer gleefully watched me die.Had he come for me? The man who had forgotten for years? There was no way. Who suddenly reappears after clearly abandoning a person. I took a few deep breaths. If I was in danger, sold, or worse, I had to escape.Struggling, I managed to get up, holding onto the canopy for support.The room was soft but sturdy. Pale stone walls emitted a gentle glow from moon-shaped lights. A full-length mirror stood in the corner, tall and smooth, with a dark, shiny frame. A white fur rug lay beneath it.The bed was large with carved wooden posts and a soft
