Ever's POV:I pulled it close, taking slow steps backwards.“Are you expecting anyone?” Kia leaned in and whispered.“None that I'm aware of,” I whispered back.“Then who could that be?” she asked, and the bang tore through once more. I swallowed hard, gripping the side of my dress in anticipation.“Well, only one way to find out,” I told Kia and made for the door in slow steps.“Hey! Ever!” she whispered in panic. “What the hell are you doing? What's going through your head? Stop, you can't…” I unbolted the door to a masculine hand hanging above, about to land another knock at the door.My eyes rose to meet him, one of the pack guards. My face paled. What did he want with me? Why was he here? My eyes met the small tray of food he held in his hand.“Looking for someone? I think you've got the wrong…”“For you,” he cut me off. “From the Alpha,” he said, holding out the tray.Zeke? My mind immediately screamed.…“Get the lady some food and a fresh set of clothes.”…So when he was talk

Ever's POVThe image of her face in the crowd while I was being taken to trial resurfaced in my head as I stumbled back in fear, swallowing hard. Was she also with them? Did she also believe I did it? Our gazes remained fixed on each other, with no words exchanged.I lowered my gaze, not knowing how to hold hers. A pair of arms swept me into a hug and my eyes widened as I looked up to see her enclosing me tightly. Fresh tears wet my eyes as I hugged her back.“Don't ever scare me like that again,” she cried, and we both broke into sobs, neither of us freeing the other. It lasted almost an eternity till I felt a sharp pain around where she'd placed her hand.“Ow!” I let out, and she instantly freed me.“Oh, sorry, too tight,” she let out. And we both laughed.“I swear, I didn't do it…” She silenced me with a finger placed to my lips.“Youu.” She let out a dramatic exhale. “How dare you doubt my unwavering trust for you,” she let out, and I rolled my eyes. “I could literally trust you w

Ever's POVMy foot dragged heavily against the marble, each movement requiring more force than the last. The tension in my knees felt unbearable, the knots in my stomach twisted endlessly.It felt like a gag I'd been long holding refused to come out and was simply stuck in my throat. The air came with nausea and I was unusually sick of the environment. I tried to leave behind every memory of what had just happened back there. If I gave it a chance, it would break me more than it already did, simply hearing it from him.And right in the moment, the gag I'd been holding in threatened to spill as I rushed to the pillar side and threw it all up. Cold chills followed right after. It should have felt relieving. But it was the opposite, I only felt more irritated. My eyes drifted to my bruised skin. I felt irritated… of myself.……“Alpha?” Elder Owen beckoned. “You're not saying anything. Is this Omega truly more important than the safety of your mate and our Luna?” he asked. My heart held n

Hagan's POVI stilled at his words. And I'm sure they had noticed. My eyes met the elder who'd said it.Only if they knew who my true mate was. Who the true Luna was supposed to be. But for the exact reasons of the scrutiny we would both face if it ever got out, we were better off with them not knowing.….“So you're saying most Alphas keep mistresses either way. Luna or not?” I asked Elder Owen.“Yes. It's very much normal,” he said, clutching his robe. “But may I ask why you're asking this particularly?” He raised a brow. “You don't strike me as the type to keep mistresses. Or do you plan to?” he asked.…What the hell are you even thinking right now, Hagan. My eyes met Ever's distant gaze and I averted mine, unable to contain my guilt. Should I really say this now? That she's my mistress. Or that I'd like to take her as a mistress. It sounds worse than the last, each time I think about it. What would Ever feel about this? I mean, we would finally get to be together without fear of

Hagan's POV “Again!” A woman's familiar voice yelled as she shoved the pocket knife into my hand carelessly. Its sharp point cut me, and 7-year-old me dropped it, wincing in pain. “Mom, it cut me.” My hoarse voice cried out for her, and she marched forward in anger and struck me to the floor. I couldn't see her face and only felt the pain explode across my cheeks as tears began rolling down, with my eyes fixated on her. “Look at me, Hagan.” She held her face to mine, but I could still not see her face. “This world is no place for weaklings. To become relevant, you must have two things, status and power. And you can only change both our lives if we prove to your father how unfortunate he was not to have claimed, do you hear me!” Her frightened voice echoed. “Yes, mother.” I affirmed, my eyes teary. “I'll become stronger. For you...for both of us.” “You better. Or I'll have you sent to the orphanage,” she let out coldly as she shook me to my feet. “Now...Again.” ….. “Alpha. Alpha

Ever's POVAll eyes turned to the menace who had just walked in. His face held an unpleasant expression, somewhat irritated, masked with a smile.How long had he been behind those doors, eavesdropping? Well, technically, he was part of the council. So he had just as much right as they did to be here. But…did he? Could he have heard all I'd just said right now? He turned to them.My eyes followed, resting on his back as he faced them, his gaze piercing through each one of them.“Alpha Zeke. You went with them last night,” Elder Owen let out. “You, more than anyone in this council, should know how much of a threat she is to the safety of our Luna…”“And what exact evidence do you base this conviction on?” His brows quirked.“What else could it be?” Another Elder chimed in. “She was found outside the pack, with Luna poisoned while she just watched. Of course, she lured her out, under disguise, as some cheap plot we've failed to notice right under our noses. And is in cahoots with an enem
