Irene’s Point of View“Eugene was here this morning,” Arnold said.Just like that.Casual.Like it meant nothing.He pulled on his tunic, then his pants, not even bothered that I was watching.Of course he wasn’t.He was an alpha.Shameless.If my head wasn’t still spinning, I might have noticed more.But right now,nothing mattered except that one sentence.Eugene.Here.This morning.My thoughts scrambled.“What was he doing here?” I asked quickly.The questions rushed out.“What did you tell him? Does he know I’m here? Why did he come?”My chest tightened again.Too fast.Too many thoughts.“Calm down,” Arnold said, turning to face me.I probably looked like I was about to jump at him.“He came to look for you.”My breath caught.For me?My eyes widened before I could stop it.Arnold noticed.Of course he did.A slow grin spread across his face.He enjoyed that.Way too much.“Of course I told him you’re here,” he added.For a second,my mind went blank.Then,“What?!” I snapped.T

Ruby’s Point of ViewI didn’t understand it.No matter what I did,it was wrong.Luna Lorraine looked at me like I didn’t belong here.Like I shouldn’t even exist.And I didn’t know why.“Why do you hate me so much?” I asked.My voice broke.“Why don’t you like me? What did I do?”The words came out messy. Barely held together.First Eugene.Now his mother.It felt like neither of them saw me as someone who could be hurt.Like my feelings didn’t matter.Like I was nothing.But Luna Lorraine didn’t soften.She scoffed.Cold. Disgusted.She had never liked me.Not since Eugene told her in his letter,that I was carrying his child.She didn’t want me here.Never did.Her solution had been simple.Pay me.Send me away.Let me raise the baby alone while they provided from a distance.Out of sight.Out of the pack.Because she only wanted one future Luna.Irene.The girl she had raised.The girl she had chosen.Not me.Never me.But Eugene brought me back anyway.Not because he wanted me.B

Irene’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have been sitting there.Every second at that table felt wrong. Like I had stepped into a place that would never accept me… and everyone could see it.Seven alphas. Seven lunas. Fourteen seats meant for power, for status.And then there was me.I wasn’t a luna. I didn’t even have a title worth mentioning. Yet I sat right beside Alpha Arnold, in the place of honor, where every pair of eyes could find me.I would have chosen the dirty kitchen over this.At least there, no one would be watching. No one would be judging.But here?I didn’t need to look up to feel it.The weight of their attention pressed against my skin.Especially hers.Luna Lorraine.I could feel her gaze without meeting it. Curious. Sharp. Trying to figure me out.How did she end up beside Alpha Arnold?The question hung in the air, even without words.I lowered my head slightly, pretending not to notice. I didn’t have the strength for this. Not tonight. Everything already felt too hea

Eugene’s Point of ViewI wasn’t supposed to feel this way.Not anymore.Not after everything he had done.And yet…the moment I saw Eugene with her,Something inside me still broke.Arnold’s arm wrapped around my waist, firm and possessive.Not subtle.Not gentle.It felt deliberate.Like he was showing me off to the entire room.And maybe he was.He was the center of attention tonight, after all.So of course, the woman beside him had to be seen too.“Do you think he’s going to kill me?” Arnold asked casually.I blinked, confused.“What?”He nodded toward Eugene, clearly amused. “That look on your face… I’m starting to think I should be worried.”My stomach tightened.I followed his gaze.Eugene.And Ruby.Together.Not just standing side by side.They arrived as a couple.Like they weren’t even trying to hide it.I let out a quiet breath.Of course they did.What was I expecting?Ruby was carrying his child.His first child.The future alpha’s bloodline.That alone made her untoucha

Irene’s Point of View“Why are you acting like we’ve known each other for a long time?” I asked.“You’re so… comfortable with me.”The words felt strange even as I said them.Arnold tilted his head, a grin forming on his lips.“Maybe I’m just naturally friendly.”I raised a brow.“From what I know, lycans aren’t exactly friendly with other shifters outside their pack. That’s your nature.”For a second, his expression shifted.Subtle.But I saw it.Like I had touched something I shouldn’t.“You don’t really believe that about me, do you?” he said.“That sounds a lot like judgment.”“And you sound irrational,” I shot back.Arnold smirked.Not offended.If anything, more entertained.“Oh, Irene…” he said softly.“You don’t know how irrational I can get.”A chill ran down my spine.It didn’t feel like a joke.It felt like a warning.“You’re crazy,” I muttered, the tension tightening in my chest.He chuckled.Low.Easy.“Not even close. You’ll need to know me better before you start callin

Irene’s Point of ViewI stared at him.Was he serious?How could he say that so casually?“With how shameless you are… it’s hard to believe you’re actually an Alpha,” I snapped before I could stop myself.The words slipped out too fast.Too sharp.Arnold didn’t get angry.If anything…he looked amused.Like I had just played into his hands.“That counts as insulting an Alpha,” he said, a faint, cold smile forming on his lips.“I don’t know how things work in your pack… but in mine, people lose their tongues for less.”My stomach dropped.I bit my tongue, literally.Hard enough to stop myself from saying anything else.There was no point arguing with him.Not when he clearly enjoyed it.I might be upset.Broken, even.But I wasn’t stupid.I wasn’t going to make this worse.“Where are you taking me?” I asked instead.My voice came out quieter this time.Careful.But I couldn’t hide the unease.Then I saw it.The building ahead.Large.Imposing.The mansion.The one assigned to the lycan
