Kaia’s POVWhen I woke up my head hurt so badly.I was lost for a few seconds, not knowing where I was.We had white ceiling above. The air was filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs and medicines. Glass bottles tapped lightly as footsteps made their way across tiled floors, somewhere nearby.A hospital.I slowly opened my eyes and attempted to sit up, but I was dizzy right away.The voices could be heard in the partially opened door nearby.Angry voices.“…impossible,” Selene snapped.“Yes, I have confirmed it,” a mature man replied composedly.My chest tightened.It was immediately clear to me what voice it was.Doctor Elias.A very trusted healer in the pack.Mother spoke sharply all of a sudden. “There has to be a mistake.”The doctor shook his head and said, "No, there is no mistake. “Your daughter has become pregnant.”Silence followed.I became as cold as a stone.Pregnant?It was a repetition of the word in my mind.No.The possibility of that was unthinkable!Panic spread t

Kaia’s POVWeeks went by after that night that Draven marked me.And somehow things started getting even stranger.I still had the mark on my neck.I wore as many scarves or high collared dresses as I could, but I could still feel it burning softly against my skin every day. I would touch it carefully and remember how Draven looked at me that night.Otherwise, a sense of guilt would come right after.None of it was mine.Not the mark.Not the palace.Not him.All of this was supposed to be Selene's.After she fully recovered from her injury, the transition was rather subtle.No ceremony.No discussion.One morning I suddenly woke up in my room and Mom said, “It's time.”That night, Selene went back to the palace, as though nothing had transpired.And I went back to my former life.Now the only thing different was that I wore a hidden sign under my clothing, and memories I could never talk about.I initially believed that Draven would see at once.He must have known that the woman stan

Kaia’s POV“She will not be your concubine,” Vivienne said sternly.I lowered my head right away, was afraid to even breathe.He was calm on his throne, Alpha Draven. He did not show any surprise at his mother's reaction as compared to the rest of the room.“Why not?” he said evenly.Vivienne’s jaw tightened. Because it doesn't feel right.My stomach dropped.I thought for one frightful instant she knew something I didn't.Her piercing eyes locked on to me. “This girl has nothing to do with what she looks like.”The nobles around us glimpsed at each other with nervousness.Draven took a slight back seat in his chair. “You're assuming things.”“My instincts are telling me to go with it,” Vivienne said coldly. “Why?” Draven asked.“She is unsuitable.”Draven's golden eyes became more glassy.“She's the one I picked.”The hall was once more silent.No one dared to break into the escalating dispute between the Alpha king and his mother.Vivienne stepped closer. “Be careful not to make an

Kaia’s POVNot a single person has visited me since Selene's fall.No one asked me if I was hurt.I didn't get any sympathy that I hadn't eaten since yesterday.I was just kept here, waiting for whatever my mother had decided for me.It was just a matter of hours before the royal selection.But Selene was no longer able to walk.I sat on the floor next to my bed, knees to my chest and Grandma's silver necklace in my firm grasp. I kept going over the accident in my mind again and again.I hadn't pushed Selene down the stairs.But it didn't matter.I don't think anyone in this family would ever believe me.Suddenly the door rang with a loud knock.Suddenly the door opened, but before I could react.Three servants carrying trays of cosmetics, jewelry boxes, and gowns followed my mother.I looked at them, blank-faced.“Get up,” she said, “let's go.”Slowly I got up from the floor. “Mother…”“Prepare her.”The servants all came running to me.One of them grabbed my arm, but I pulled away.

Kaia’s POVI was standing by the door of the dining hall with a basket of my neatly folded clothes in my arms and two servants walked past carrying a sparkling silver gown towards my sister's chamber.“How beautiful is that one,” one servant whispered excitedly. “The Alpha will certainly pick Lady Selene.”“He must,” said the other. “She is the most beautiful girl in the Eastern Regions.”As they walked by neither of them looked at me.I looked down and moved away from the woman, and went to the laundry room.I was used to it.In this house I didn't really exist.“Kaia!”Before I could get to the stairs, my mother's sharp voice rang out through the hallway.I immediately stopped walking and turned around. “Yes, Mother?”Helena Ravencrest, who was dressed in a dark green silk gown and stood in the center hall.“Why are you here?” she asked. “Why are you not helping Selene?”“Well, I was washing my clothes first,” I said quietly.“So who was it that told you that was more important than
