Chapter: Chapter 4Leah's POV“But I just fucking told you why!” I blurted.Shit. Language, Leah. I had just cussed at him.Roman smiled. He pulled his hand away from the wall and folded his arms across his chest, watching me as though I had said something amusing.“No,” he said. “You told me what you would gain. You told me why you needed my help. You didn't tell me why I should consider giving it to you.”I opened my mouth, then closed it.Well…That was annoying.I had no answer.The silence stretched between us. Roman didn't seem bothered by it. He simply stood there, arms folded, looking at me with that irritating little smile.I hated that smile.“Okay, fine,” I said at last. “What exactly do you want me to say?”“If you go through with this without making another fuss…” He unfolded his arms and moved closer. “Maybe I'll consider freeing you early so you can pursue these little dreams of yours.”My heart jumped.Freeing me? Early?I looked at him, trying to work out whether I had heard him correct

Chapter: Chapter 3Leah's POVYou've really done it now, haven't you, Leah?What was I supposed to say?Shit. How was I going to explain that this wasn't what it looked like when it most definitely looked like I was about to escape?There were consequences for attempting to flee. I couldn't let him know I had planned to run. Not yet.“It's honestly not what you think, Alpha. I was just…”He walked straight past me, shoving my shoulder as he entered the room.I stumbled sideways, catching myself against the doorframe. My mouth fell open. Excuse me? Was an excuse me too much to ask for? He could have at least said something before pushing me out of his way. What was wrong with this man?And wasn't he the one who had requested a breeder? The fact that he had actually come here only confirmed that he had, in fact, requested one.Unfortunately for him, he'd gotten the wrong woman. I wasn't breeding for anyone.“An excuse me would have been nice, you know,” I snapped, turning to face him. “You didn't have to

Chapter: Chapter 2Leah's POVI froze.My eyes widened, and judging by the way the matron's mouth fell open, I wasn't the only one who thought we'd heard something wrong.Alpha Roman?Mooncreek's Alpha, Royalwood Academy's star Alpha, and the kingdom's terrifying war god? That Alpha Roman?The same man who treated Clarissa like a piece of shit stuck to his shoe?I had seen him up close a few times, and the man looked as if the very idea of having a woman near him offended his entire existence. Clarissa had provided enough demonstrations of his disgust to convince anyone. He barely acknowledged her, and whenever she tried to get his attention, he looked ready to have her thrown out of the room.So why the hell would he need a breeder?“Wait a minute.” The matron frowned at her ledger, then looked at me as if I had personally arranged this disaster. “There must certainly be some mistake somewhere. Confirm the records of registered requests for breeders.”Another matron hurried over to check the records. S

Chapter: Chapter 1Leah’s POV“Ha! Look at her. You really thought you’d get in, Leah?” Clarissa laughed right in my face.Zoey, Becca, and Abbie burst into laughter with her, loud enough to attract the attention of everyone gathered around the admissions board. A few people glanced at me before quickly looking away. Nobody wanted to become Clarissa’s next source of entertainment.I stared at the board behind them.My name still wasn’t there.I checked it again anyway, moving my eyes down every column as if the letters might rearrange themselves out of pity. Leah of Mooncreek. I had written it on my application, on the recommendation requests I’d practically begged people to consider, and on every scrap of paper I’d used to plan the future I wanted. But it wasn’t on that board.“Aw, what’s wrong?” Clarissa asked, putting on a fake pout. “Did you find out you couldn’t whore your way into Royalwood?”“Maybe she thought she could suck her way through the entrance exams,” Becca said. “Thankfully, Royalwood

Chapter: Chapter 74Chapter 74: Moon Festival IX Hagan's POV I stared at Roy without answering. His question was simple enough. What was I doing here, alone in the garden, with an Omega? Yet I found myself unable to give him an answer, my eyes drifting instead to Ever, who stood beside me with tears still staining her cheeks. Only minutes ago, she had looked at me with hope in her eyes when I told her I might have a way for us to come public. I could still see that look on her face, and it made this even harder. I could tell Roy everything right now. I could simply say she was my mate, that I had been keeping our relationship secret for three years, and that I intended to make her my official Luna. It would be the easiest thing to say. But unfortunately, It would also be the dumbest thing I could do. Politically, strategically, it would put us both in danger. And if word got out before I had a plan in place, that was a hole we were never crawling out of. I couldn't just throw everything away beca

Chapter: Chapter 73Ever’s POV “What?” I stared at Hagan, seriously confused. “What do you mean? Why did I do what? What did I do?” “And now, you act oblivious?” His tone sharpened. “You've changed, Ever.” He let out, somewhat disappointed. “And I don't mean that in a good way.” Wha... ‘I’ changed? Really? His words were so laughable. “I know.” He told me. I almost laughed. “Know what, Hagan? You always think you know. But every single time you keep getting it wrong,” I told him mockingly. “You've revealed the news of Rhaeya's pregnancy, Ever.” Hagan said, his voice already edged with frustration. My jaw fell open. He? He knew? She was really pregnant. I hadn't guessed wrong. “Why did you do it? After all these years of being on my neck about making us public, why would you make things even harder instead of coming to me directly? Why tell everyone?” My eyes shot up to meet him as he asked. The question hurt more than I expected, especially because it confirmed the one fear I'd had

Chapter: Chapter 72Ever's POV My eyes caught Hagan, who was the first to come through the entrance and beside him, Rhaeya. The crowd erupted as she waved past them and towards the high table. Following behind was Zeke. He looked…different today. Replacing his usual cold and irritated demeanor was a warm one. His sister Aya was right beside him as they made their way to their seats at the table. And finally, the elders, all surrounded by guards and warriors on duty, followed. The crowd bowed as they passed, and once they reached their designated seats, the claps and cheers died down and everyone slowly straightened again. The music had stopped. The entire festival grounds had gone strangely quiet and the air became awkwardly tense. One of the elders looked around, clearly confused by the sudden silence. “Why has everyone stopped?” No one answered as everyone's gaze remained quietly fixated on the high table. Then Elder Owen stepped forward with a grin. “What are you all waiting for?” he je

Chapter: Chapter 71Ever's POV Mila popped a grape into her mouth, chewed for barely two seconds, then her eyes widened. “Oh my God. This is heaven,” she said, taking another. “Compared to that stale bread and infested soup they serve back at the ranch.” Kia burst out laughing, and I couldn't help but join her as Mila immediately reached for another handful, stuffing a few grapes into the folds of her dress before looking around as though she had just committed a serious crime. “You're actually stealing them?” I asked, laughing. “Stealing?” Mila scoffed. “I'm securing provisions. And don't just stand there. Help! Get a bag or something.” Kia laughed harder, but before Mila could defend herself any further, she froze. I followed her gaze to Hannah, who was standing a short distance away, watching us with her eyes specifically on Mila. Mila slowly lowered her hand, sweating profusely as Hannah approached. On reaching us, she looked between the three of us before glancing at the grapes Mila h

Chapter: Chapter 70Ever's POV “Wait,” she said and I gulped. “Please wait…I wanted to say something,” she added in a tone unusual for her usually hardened self. Was she trying to make me comfortable, then strike when I least expected it. Because whatever tone this was - it honestly didn’t feel like Hannah. She slowly let go of my arm, then, struggling with words, she finally spoke. “I…I’d heard what you'd done.” Shit, I was done for, wasn't I? What had I done? Did she want to pay me back for it? She swallowed hard, then continued. “Like what you'd said when Luna suggested you reassume the Head Maiden position,” she told me, and my memory clicked. Ohh, was that what this was about? So she…wasn't here for revenge? “No one's ever stuck up for me that way. Even if you didn't mean it, thanks,” she told me, and my eyes widened. I stared at her for a few seconds. What the hell was happening today? First Zeke was being nice to me, and now Hannah was…thanking me? “You're serious?” I asked. “Hey,

Chapter: Chapter 69Ever’s POV “I should get going,” I told him, still surprised by what he'd just said. I turned to leave, then I stopped just before leaving, turning back to look at Zeke, with my lips pressed tightly together. For a second, I didn't know what to say, because the offer he had made earlier was probably the nicest thing I had ever heard come out of his mouth. I had no use for it, because I didn't plan to leave Greymark, not now, not anytime soon. But I should really thank him properly - this asshole's first show of goodwill. “And thanks for the offer…” I finally let out, then dropped a light bow. “Alpha Zeke.” I finally said, and the words felt strange coming from me to him. I beamed at him and walked out, shutting the door behind me. He only gave me a small nod, so I turned and stepped outside, pulling the door shut behind me before leaning against the wall, one hand pressed over my chest as I tried to catch my breath. What the hell had just happened? Zeke had actually said some
