Chapter: Chapter 94: they can be kindFive's POV I stood in front of Elijah. Or what was left of him. The guards had thrown him into one of the lower holding rooms, and when I stepped inside, I almost stopped breathing. He was sitting against the wall, his knees drawn up slightly, his head hanging forward. For a moment, I didn't recognize him. His face was swollen, one eye nearly shut. A dark bruise stretched across his cheekbone, and dried blood stained the corner of his mouth. His clothes were torn in several places, revealing bruised skin underneath. My stomach twisted. I knew what the King had promised. 'I'll deal with you later.' Apparently, he'd meant it. "Elijah." His head lifted and his remaining good eye found mine. Something flickered across his face. Surprise, then pain. Then something that looked dangerously close to relief. "Five." His voice was barely audible. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me. Or tried to. Lucien stepped in after me. After an hour of back and forth, he ha

Chapter: Chapter 93: it’s not because of youFive’s POVThis time, there was a guard outside his door and he stepped aside before I reached the door. I knocked once and pushed it open without waiting for a response, which I had stopped apologizing for.He was at his desk as usual. He looked up when I entered, and something moved briefly in his expression—that small involuntary shift I had started noticing, the one he didn't always manage to put away fast enough."The facility sent girls," I said, stopping in front of his desk.He set his pen down."Yes," he confirmed.So he knew. "How many?”"Seven."The rumors were correct. Seven girls. "Were you expecting them?" He paused. For half a second too long."It was a standard request," he informed. "Submitted one weeks ago.""One week ago," I repeated. "Before or after the facility sent the search request?"Something shifted in his eyes.He didn't answer, which was its own answer."King Lucien." I leaned forward slightly, my hands on the edge of his desk. "If one of those girls

Chapter: Chapter 92: six or seven girlsFive's POVThe kitchen was loud that morning.Not the usual low industrious noise of staff moving through their routines—there was something different underneath it, a current of something that made the hair on my arms rise before I had identified the source.I kept my head down and listened.It took four minutes to piece it together from the fragments moving between the kitchen staff in lowered voices.Girls had arrived from the facility.A fresh batch, someone said. Six of them, maybe seven. Brought in last night, which explained the unusual guard movement I had noticed in the corridor this morning and dismissed.I set down the pot I was carrying very carefully.Six or seven girls.From the facility.I thought of the council record. Twenty facilities. The careful system of supply and demand, girls moved between packs according to need, according to the particular requirements of whatever Alpha or lord had made a request.It was routine.It happened all the time.I knew that.And yet

Chapter: Chapter 91: I’m not falling for himFive’s POV“I’m not judging you,” she clarified, her voice quieter now. “I understand it. He’s—I understand it. But Five.” She held my gaze. “Look at this room.”I looked.“Two beds,” she pointed. “One of them double the size we had to share before. Two windows. A dress with his sigil. Guards who step back when you walk past.” She paused. “He is giving you things.”My breath stuttered. “I know that,” I whispered, suddenly feeling exposed.“Do you know why?”I said nothing.“Because things given can be taken,” she said simply. “Every comfort he provides is also a leash. The nicer the room, the more you have to lose. The softer he is with you, the harder it becomes to remember what he is.” She looked at her hands in her lap. “I’ve watched it happen. Girls who arrived the way you arrived—angry, sharp, impossible to manage—and then slowly the edges wore down. Not because anyone forced them. Because someone was kind.”The room was quiet.I thought of his hand on my back.The steadiness of

Chapter: Chapter 90: you are softFive’s POVTo say I was in good spirits would be an understatement.My body ached from getting barely enough sleep, and my cheek still stung from being slapped, but I was in a good mood.A guard had guided me from the King’s room and I’d expected to be led back to the small, cramped room I shared with Seven.Imagine my surprise when we’d turned a different hallway and I was ushered into a new room.It was plain, the walls painted a boring beige color. But it was much bigger. And there were two windows.And more importantly, two beds.It was more than luxurious compared to what I’d been managing with Seven.The bed was soft, pulling me in the moment I sat on it.A small giggle slipped past my lips.It was almost as good as the one I had at the facility.The facility.My smile fell.I looked around, feeling a different emotion stir within me.I was still a slave.I glanced down at my hands. At the same hands that had done something yesterday that had no explanation, no precedent, nothin

Chapter: Chapter 89: what do you need?Five’s POVI stepped out of the bathroom, completely naked and dripping.I didn’t know what to expect next.He was too cruel to predict.Steam still clung to my skin. Water ran in slow trails down my collarbones, between my breasts, over the soft curve of my stomach. My hair was wet and heavy against my back. I hadn’t bothered with a towel. There was no point. He would only take it from me anyway.Lucien was waiting.He sat in the wide armchair near the bed, one ankle resting over the opposite knee, still fully dressed. The only concession he’d made was the open collar of his shirt. His eyes tracked every drop of water sliding down my body. Blank. Assessing. Hungry in a way that made my stomach tighten.“Come here.”I walked. The floor was cold under my bare feet. When I stopped in front of him he didn’t reach for me. He simply looked.Then he leaned forward, caught my wrist, and pulled me between his spread thighs.His free hand skimmed up the outside of my leg, slow, deliberate.

Chapter: Chapter 4: you are no one’sIt was only day two and Faye was already convinced she wouldn't survive at this school. She was late. Again.She’d wasted time trying waiting for her tour guard again. And her tour guard had once again ditched her. Fortunately, the lecturer hadn't arrived yet. She spotted an empty seat at the back, close to the window—the only one left—and made her way there, head down. Just as she was about to sit, a hand shot out and caught her wrist. She frowned, pulling free. "Wha—" "That's his seat," a girl whispered. Faye opened her mouth to ask what that meant, but the girl had already turned back to her book, her face closed off. Faye's frown deepened. For the first time since she'd stepped in, she noticed how quiet the class had gone. Every eye was on her. Watchful. She looked at the seat. Then sat in it. A ripple of whispers spread through the room, igniting a low feeling of doom in her stomach. But she brushed it off, pulling out her books instead. The

Chapter: Chapter 3: are you naked?PRESENT By the time Faye was cleared to begin lectures, word had already spread about her near death experience during the exam. An exam that was considered easy by majority of the students. "They say she nearly died." "An Omega has no business being here." "I wonder how long they would last." She pretended not to notice the stares, or hear the whispers. She was used to it, had learned a long time ago that flinching only fueled them. That, and the fact that she didn't have time to. She raced down the hall, adjusting her glasses as she moved. Her tour guide had ditched her, leaving her alone to map out the school's geography. Mira had a different schedule. Which meant she was completely on her own. And late. By the time she burst out of the school's main door and rounded the building to the spot where the lesson was holding—the lecturer had already fixed everyone in groups. Which meant she was on her own. Again. They were released in staggered pairs ac

Chapter: Chapter 2: pathetic girlTWO DAYS AGO: BEFORE THE ENTRANCE EXAM “Oh yes, fuck me.” Faye’s head snapped up. The sound came from a slightly ajar door—the unmistakable sounds of sex. Heat rushed to her face. She turned to leave, but another voice drifted through the doorway. “Just like that baby.” She froze. She knew that voice, could recognize it anywhere. The color completely drained from her face. Her feet moved before her mind registered what was happening. Her hand hovered in the air, her pulse roaring in her ears. Then she pushed the door open. Nothing, absolutely nothing could’ve ever prepared her for the sight before her. Ryan lay on his back, Esla—her sister’s best friend—riding him like her life depended on it. Ryan. Her Ryan. “Oh fuck!” She moaned. Ryan had his lips on her breast—those same lips he had used to kiss Faye, to whisper promises. Those lips he’d used to worship her, to tell her how he was going to make her his Luna. Something twisted deep in her gut. “Ryan,” hi

Chapter: Chapter 1: officially a student"Run Faye!" The sound came from somewhere far away, yet close by. It sounded muffled, like speaking underwater. "Faye!" Closer. "Faye!" Her eyes snapped open. Just in time to see the monster leap at her. Faye moved, summoning every ounce of energy she had. Which was very little, considering she was an omega wolf bleeding from a deep cut on her side. The monster snarled, circling her. Her heart pounded in her chest as she took in her surroundings. She was alone in the arena with the monster. While her family watched her. She could feel the judgment from her mother, could feel the scrutiny from her step father, and could feel that cold, unflinching indifference from him. Something hot sparked in her chest. She picked up the staff she had been given, going into the position her twin sister Mira had taught her. 'Keep your head low, your eyes on the enemy, and your heart leveled.' She recalled every lesson, every tip. She wasn't going to die. She was

Chapter: Chapter 297: our kids are feralTalia's POV FIVE YEARS LATER The house was loud. Not the kind of loud that came with danger or panic, the kind that came with chaos, children, and one absolutely unhinged uncle. I leaned against the kitchen doorway, pinching the bridge of my nose as a high-pitched shriek echoed through the hall. "MILO! TELL THEM TO LEAVE MY WOLF PLUSHIE ALONE!" That was Rowan, my son. One half of the twins. He was wild like fire, sharp like a blade and stubborn like... well, me. "No!" his sister Aria snapped back. "It's mine now! You said I could hold it!" "I SAID YOU COULD HOLD IT, NOT KIDNAP IT!" Before I could intervene, Nicole popped out from behind the couch holding a tray of cookies and wearing a ridiculous apron. "Children!" he announced dramatically. "You must learn the ways of negotiation. Aria, demand concessions. Rowan, threaten war. This is very simple." "Nicole," I groaned, "stop encouraging them." "Encouraging?" Nicole gasped, fake-offended."I'm educating them. These are val

Chapter: Chapter 296: you’re stuck with me foreverTalia’s POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. “Is it like a wedding?”Nicole sighed, rolling his eyes for what had to be the hundredth time that day. “No, Talia.” He spun me around by the shoulders till I was facing him. “It’s a Luna coronation.”“I didn’t know that was a thing.” I whispered, playing with my dress. I felt an unusual stir of nerves.“It is. It’s ancient culture, not completely necessary but…” he trailed off. “It’s cute, I guess. Cassian had been planning one for you before…”Right.I straightened. But the nerves in my stomach didn’t die down.“You’re going to be alright,” Nicole reassured softly. “The pack loves you, you’re their hero.”I scoffed.“I don’t need their love.”Not after they abandoned me and turned their backs to me when I needed them the most.“You’ll grow to love them.”“I won’t.”He opened his mouth to argue when the door pushed open.

Chapter: Chapter 293: your mark is goneTalia’s POVThe stretch was exquisite—almost too much, yet exactly what I needed. We both cried out, the bond singing between us as he filled me completely. For a second we stayed like that, joined as deeply as two beings could be, trembling with the intensity of it.Then he started moving. It was slow at first, giving me a moment to get used to the fullness again. After so long without him, my body had almost forgotten what it was like to be filled up. But the slow pace wasn’t enough for me. My wolf clawed harder. “Cass,’ I gasped, “more.”That one word was all it took. I could see the moment his restraint snapped, and he pulled out, almost completely. Then plunged in.Hard. Deep.A scream tore out of my throat, my hands coming up to his back, my nails digging into his skin.His pace was relentless.Each thrust slammed into me with the force of a man who had almost lost everything.

Chapter: Chapter 292Talia’s POV I didn’t know how long we remained in that position. And I didn’t care to know. I was with my mate. His arms wrapped tightly around me, grounding me in reality. The warmth radiating off him seeped into my bones. His scent was stronger now, drowning out the scent of the forest around us. And the feel of his skin against mine— Goddess. It was different. Stronger. More intense. Like the bond had rooted itself deeper beneath my skin. My breath caught in my throat. “Are you okay?” he murmured softly. “You almost died.” I pulled back slightly, just enough to look at him. His warm eyes were already on me. Filled with concern. Fear. Relief. He frowned slightly. “Your eyes,” he whispered. “They’re green again.” Oh. Something settled heavily in my chest. Something dangerously close to disappointment. His gaze slowly drifted downward, settling on my sternum where the Goddess’ mark had once rested. His fingers brushed over the spot gently. “It’s gone too.” I

Chapter: Chapter 101The forest had swallowed us whole.For three days, Amaya and I had moved through the trees like shadows, bruised and starving, every step a battle against the ache in our bones. The fire that had gutted the hall was long behind us, but the scent of smoke still clung to my hair, my skin, my memories. I could feel it every time I closed my eyes.We hadn't stopped long enough to rest properly. Sleep came in fits, stolen in hollows and shallow caves, broken by the crack of branches or the distant cry of wolves. Hunger gnawed at us, but worse than that was the silence, Ciro's silence. That empty place where my bond had once burned was a wound that no amount of running could heal.By the third day, my legs moved on will alone. My body screamed to give up, but Amaya was relentless. She pulled me forward with the same iron grip she'd had that night, refusing to let me collapse into the dirt."Jas," she whispered as we trudged along a narrow path littered with pine needles. Her voice was hoars

Amaya was beside me, her arm looped under mine, dragging more than guiding. She was bruised, battered, bleeding from her temple, but her grip was iron."Don't stop," she hissed through clenched teeth. "Not yet. Keep moving."I wanted to tell her I couldn't. That my ribs felt like they'd been shattered, that my heart was ripping itself apart with every beat. But I couldn't form the words. My mouth was dry, my throat raw, my chest tight.And worse, my mark was gone.I reached for it again, like I had a hundred times since Duncan sho

Chapter: Chapter 99They didn't even bother to speak to me when they came. Just a group of maids, their eyes hollow, their grips iron. They stripped me out of the rags I'd been left in and shoved me into a gown, long, white, mocking purity. My body screamed with every tug of fabric against my bruises, but I bit down on the pain and stayed silent.The dress wasn't for me, work for me. It was for him.When they were done, they wrenched my arms behind my back, rope biting into my wrists. Two of them dragged me through the corridors. The air reeked of smoke and sweat, of fear, and something darker that made my skin crawl.They threw open the doors to a vast hall. The hall was brightly lit with a huge chandelier. The room was filled with wolves, rogues, council defectors, faces twisted with eagerness to watch. And at the centre, on a dais like a king, sat Duncan.He smiled when he saw me.The crowd quieted as I was shoved forward, stumbling until I dropped to my knees before him. My wrists burned against the

Tilda.She strolled inside as though she owned the place, her heels clicking against the floor in a deliberate rhythm. She took her time, circling me like a predator toying with prey."Look at you," she sneered. "The great Luna curled up like a beaten dog. I almost pity you." She crouched, her face inches from mine, her eyes gleaming with cruel delight. "Almost."I finally raised my head, slowly, intentionally. My face was swollen, my lips split from biting back the tears, but I forced the corners of my mouth into the faintest smile. "Is this what you do to feel important? Kick around the broken?"Her smirk faltered, just for a second.I leaned into it. "Duncan keeps you around because you're useful, not because you matter. You're a tool, Tilda. Not

Her sobs cracked through the air, raw and jagged, the sound of someone breaking. Tears streaked her cheeks as she pressed her forehead to his chest, her cries echoing down the hall.I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. My body felt like stone, rooted to the floor, staring at the sight that shouldn't—couldn't—be real. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it would split open."What... what happened?" I whispered, but no one heard me. Or maybe no one cared to answer."Jasmine!"Amaya's voice cut through the haze, sharp and urgent. Suddenly she was there, grabbing my arm, yanking me back from the nightmare.
