Chapter: Chp 80Pearl POV Demyan suddenly strode toward the window and shut it with one swift motion, then pulled the heavy blue curtains closed. The soft thud of the fabric falling made my heart skip because I knew what was coming next.I instinctively stepped back, my pulse racing. His gaze locked on me, darker than a storm, unblinking.“Demyan… I know what you’re planning to do, but not here. Anyone can walk in,” I whispered, panic lacing my voice as I backed away.He didn’t listen. He never did. His long strides closed the distance, his presence suffocating.“Demyan, I’m annoyed with you! What you did in class… you..” I swallowed hard, cheeks burning. “You put your fingers inside me, twice! You need to stop, okay?!” My voice cracked as I shouted, but it only made his eyes gleam darker.In an instant, he rushed toward me. His fingers caught my chin, tilting my face up, forcing me to meet the predator’s eyes above me. He stood like a wall, towering, immovable.“Pearl…” His voice was a low growl, v

Chapter: Chp 79Pearl’s POVI tried to steady my breathing, tried to focus on the professor’s words scratching across the board, but it was useless. My body was still betraying me, thighs pressed tight, pulse still erratic, every nerve raw from what Demyan had just done.I should’ve been relieved that he’d stopped. I should’ve thanked the gods that the professor hadn’t noticed.But then his hand brushed mine on the desk.A small, meaningless gesture to anyone looking. But to me, it was a warning. A promise.I darted him a look, silently begging him not to. His expression was maddeningly composed, eyes fixed on the lesson, lips curved in that faint, cruel smirk that only I could see.And then his hand slid lower.My stomach knotted as his fingers trailed down my thigh under the desk. I shifted, trying to push my chair closer to the table, trying to trap myself so he couldn’t reach. But he was relentless. His fingers pried their way between my thighs like he owned me.My pulse thundered in my ears. Eve

Chapter: Chp 78Pearl POVThe gossip hadn’t even died down when his hand moved lower. Bold. Possessive. His fingers slipped past the waistband of my underwear this time, no barrier left between us.“Demyan,” I hissed under my breath, panic laced with heat. “Stop, someone will see…”His other hand gripped my thigh under the desk, pinning me still. His lips brushed against my ear, voice dark silk.“Let them try,” he whispered. “You think anyone here would dare look when I’m beside you? They’re too afraid. No one will notice. And even if they did…” His finger slid inside me with devastating slowness. “…I’d still take what’s mine.”A shiver shot through me so hard I nearly knocked my knee against the desk. I bit my lip to stifle a sound, but when his thumb found that sensitive spot and pressed, a strangled whimper escaped anyway.My hand flew to cover my mouth, my eyes darting around the room in terror. No one looked. Not a single head turned. They were too cowed by Demyan’s towering shadow.“You’re alre

Chapter: Chp 77Pearl POVThe familiar arches of the academy gates loomed above us, a sight I thought I might never see again. My heart fluttered wildly, not with fear this time, but with something dangerously close to relief. Students lingered in the courtyards, their whispers like restless shadows brushing past me. Some pointed, others lowered their heads quickly when Demyan’s sharp gaze swept over them.I walked a little closer to him, drawing strength from his silent presence, but my steps slowed when I saw Killian waiting just beyond the entrance. His usually relaxed expression brightened the moment he spotted me.“Perin!” he called, striding toward me with a grin that lit his entire face. Before I could react, his large hands clapped onto my shoulders, almost making me stumble back. “You’re finally back! Do you have any idea how dull it’s been without you?”I blinked, a small laugh escaping me despite the heaviness still clinging to my chest. “Killian…”He didn’t wait for further words. His arm

Chapter: Chp 76Pearl’s POVThe first thing I felt was the softness beneath me, the silk sheets that clung to my skin like water. When I opened my eyes, the red curtains swayed gently, blood-dark against the morning light. For a heartbeat, I forgot where I was. Then memory returned in a rush, the council chamber, the accusations, the weight of chains, and finally, the voice that had declared me innocent.I pressed a trembling hand to my chest. I was free.The door creaked softly. Rowan entered, his expression warm but carrying a shadow I couldn’t quite name. He carried himself like someone who had spent the entire night awake, waiting.“You’re awake,” he said gently. “You should eat something.”I glanced toward the table where a tray of food had been set, steaming bread, fruit, and tea. But before I could move, Rowan’s eyes softened further, his tone shifting. “There’s something else you should know, Pearl.”I straightened, heart racing.“The council accepted the evidence,” he said. “Your name has be

Chapter: Chp 75Demyan’s POVThe palace was never silent, not even at night. The halls breathed with whispers of servants, the watchful eyes of guards, and the endless pulse of secrets carried through its stone walls. Yet as I moved, cloaked and masked, each step felt heavier with intent.It wasn’t duty that guided me tonight. It wasn’t even a reason. It was the unbearable weight pressing against my chest the thought of her, alone, after what she endured.Pearl.No one else in this vast empire knew the truth her eyes carried. To them she was “Perin,” the accused, the traitor boy. But to me… she was the girl who had stumbled into my life with fire in her spirit and fragility in her heart. I knew she was innocent, yet even innocence was powerless against the cruelty of chains.I stopped outside Rowan’s chamber door. The guards had long since been ordered to leave this wing under my seal. Only silence greeted me as I slipped inside, closing the door with the gentlest click.The room was dim, lit only by

Chapter: Chp 16Astrid pov "Go on." He said, and I could see a smirk on his face."He wants acceptance and the pack."I lowered my voice."And if his father accepts him, Caspian gets another opportunity to enter places he has been kept away from."Zane stared at me."What places?""The places connected to your mother's death."There was silence between us, complete silence.I could almost hear the crackle of the fire behind us. Zane's expression didn't change but his eyes did.For the first time, I saw something other than hatred.He was interested and I'm sure he will now agree to marry me ."You've been investigating."It wasn't a question. I shook my head."Not yet.""Then how do you know all this?""Because I have another advantage.""What?", he looked confused "I know what Caspian wants."His eyes remained fixed on mine."He wants power. He wants acceptance and he wants access."I paused."Marrying me gives him all three.""And marrying you gives me what?"I looked at him with a smile on my face

Chapter: Chp 15Astrid’s POVThe moment the words left my mouth, I knew I had pushed too far and Zane went still, he was furious. I could see him clench his jaw, maybe I spoke too much!! But he didn't move an inch which made me worried.He stood still at his place, not the kind of stillness that meant calm, the kind that came before a storm. His eyes darkened until I could barely see the man behind them.I stared at him quietly while I took a few steps backwards, I had expected anger but I hadn't expected this. He then suddenly crossed the distance between us in two strides and before I could react, his hand closed around my throat. My back slammed against the wall, a sharp gasp escaped me as he wrapped his finger around my neck. His fingers tightened, not enough to crush my windpipe but enough to remind me that he could, that was somehow worse.Zane leaned down, his face inches from mine. "You seem to have forgotten something." My hands instinctively wrapped around his wrist. His skin was hot beneat

Chapter: Chp 14Astrid’s POVThe golden curtain shimmered softly in the candlelight. From where I sat, I could see everything beyond it.The towering doors, the servants standing quietly along the walls and the flickering flames in the silver chandeliers. The wolves were gathered outside, waiting for the announcement that would change my life but right now none of them frightened me as much as the man I was waiting for.Zane Ashblood.My fingers tightened around the fabric of my gown.I very well knew his past and I knew what the kingdom whispered about him.The banishment, about his mother's execution and the bloodshed that followed.For years he spent his life among the rogues. I knew about the hatred he carried for the noble wolves and most importantly… I knew what my family had done to him.In my previous life, I had never understood why Zane looked at me as if he wanted to tear my entire family apart but now I know better. Sitting here alone in this room with him was terrifying. I took a slow b

Chapter: Chp 13Zane's POVThe entire hall fell silent, it was not the normal silence and not the kind that came from respect.There was shock, pure shock on everyone's face, every noble, every alpha and every council member along with the servant, they all stared between Astrid and me as if the Elder Wolf had just announced the end of the world.Frankly, I wasn't far from agreeing with them.The old wolf continued speaking calmly. "As many of you know, Lady Astrid Ravenwood has officially chosen Zane Ashblood as her future mate."There was silence and then whispers erupted throughout the hall."What?""She chose him?""But she loved Caspian.""Wasn't the engagement already arranged?""The Rogue King?"My patience was rapidly disappearing.Across the room, I noticed Caspian. His expression had darkened, which was interesting. My dear younger brother stared at her with anger. It seemed as if he didn't e

Chapter: Chp 12Zane's POVThe moment I stepped into the corridor, every servant moved aside.Nobody dared block my path and nobody dared speak.The sound of my boots echoed against the marble floors as I made my way toward the main hall. Behind me walked Kael and several of my rogue guards. Their weapons hung openly from their waists.Unlike the noble wolves, my people never pretended to be civilized. We didn't hide our claws nor did we smile while plotting betrayal.We didn't poison others with pretty words.The nobles called us savages, I considered it a compliment. At least we were honest about what we were.The large doors leading to the main hall came into view. Two guards immediately bowed.Neither dared meet my gaze.That's Good!!, I preferred it that way. Without slowing my pace, I pushed the doors open.The massive wooden doors swung apart with a loud creak. Instantly, every conversation inside died.There was silence, complete silence. My cloak dragged across the floor behind me as I entere

Chapter: Chp 11Zane POVOne of the maids rushed inside, breathing heavily as if she had run through the entire mansion. Her face was pale and I could see the fear in her eyes. Which was Interesting, most people were afraid of me and for her to be more frightened of something else meant only one thing.Something important had happened.The maid lowered herself quickly."Your Majesty."I leaned back against the couch, "What is it?"The maid hesitated and then finally spoke. "The Elder Wolves have arrived."The room instantly fell silent and my expression darkened.Of course it would!, just when I thought this day couldn't become any worse.The ‘Elder Wolves’, the self-proclaimed voices of the Moon Goddess. The highest authority among wolfkind.Kings answered to them, Alphas answered to them, even I had to tolerate them and I hated every second of it.My fingers tightened around the armrest.For years I had built my own kingdom, my own power and my own army. Yet a few old wolves could still summon me li
