DAHLIA’S POVNot long after I settled into my new bedroom, a maid knocked softly on my door with the news that Alpha Darryn had requested to see me.My wolf stirred inside me, releasing a small, hopeful howl. Yet beneath that excitement lived fear. Alpha Darryn would change everything—my life, my name, and my fate. He would give me wealth, status, and protection, but power had never been kind to me. What if his gentleness was temporary? What if, once claimed, he became no different from the others?We had just met. Powerful men were rarely soft forever.But as days turned into weeks and weeks into months, my fears slowly dissolved.Darryn proved himself to be nothing like the men I had known. He was fierce when it came to politics and war, yet patient and respectful with me. He did not rush the mating bond. He did not demand my body or my obedience. He waited until I was ready, until I trusted him, and somehow, I did.He showered me with gifts, jewels, gowns, rare paintings, and canva

Dahlia’s POVThe impact of the fall was harsh. Falling off the 3rd floor in a large mansion, as this should have left me with a broken neck. But my Alpha bones were stronger. Around 2 a.m., I slowly regained consciousness. The moon was bright, and the gentle breeze caressed my bare skin. I looked around. I was in the flower garden, and behind me was the apple tree under which Lunar Jane hosted her coffee parties.I gathered my long gown with my hand as I hoisted myself up, struggling to remain on my feet. I had sustained a huge gash on my forehead, and it bled into my eyes. Climbing back through the window at such a height was impossible. But I doubted that the guards at the entrance would let me in. So I decided to spend the rest of the night at the home of Madame Boston, the woman who babysat me as a child, before my father passed away.The path to the tiny cottage she lived in was long, dark, and sloppy, but I found determination in my neediness. I gathered the long ball Darryn bou

Dahlia’s POV“Dahlia, leave! Go wherever you want, but leave this house!”Those words sent shockwaves through my body, widening my excitement and surprise. Alpha Darius was asking me to leave the pack. He was setting me free. I would leave the shithole and go into the big city. I could find any menial job and join a sorority house. I could study for a college scholarship and become a doctor, a lawyer, or a journalist. I had never felt so alive. I was finally free of the suffering and the pain. I wanted to cry out with joy!But the strong hands around my waist suddenly jolted into my mind, forcing me back to reality. I raised my head, heart thundering in my chest.His eyes were on me—dark, unreadable, but intense enough to make me forget how to breathe.“You are my mate," he rasped, his voice deep yet soft. "I've been looking for my whole life; I've been in pain.”“Hmm...” I stuttered, my lips trembling. “I'm sorry...”“This is all a huge misunderstanding, Alpha Darryn,” my uncle sudde

Dahlia’s POV“Why did you come to the banquet?? I told you to stay inside."I whirled around, but before I could utter a word, a slap landed across my face. I staggered backwards, the wet mop clattering to the floor“Didn't you hear me? How dare you!”I raised my hand off my burning cheek and raised my head to look at my aunt. She stood there like the devil, hands on her hips, her eyes burning with fire. I didn't know whether she was referring to the messy leftovers and bones I ate off the dishes as I washed them. But I opened my mouth to answer.“I didn't eat the leftovers, Lunar Jane,” I said slowly. “The remaining food after the banquet is still in the kitchen.”“I told you not to show your face around the area, but you kept moving up and down, distracting our honorable guests with your dirty clothes and your stupid long hair.”“I'm sorry, Lunar."Another slap landed on my face, directly on my eye, and I lost my balance and tripped onto the floor.The stinging effect of the slap sh
