Elijah’s POVMy knuckles were split and aching but the pain was a welcome distraction from my troubling thoughts threatening to tear my mind apart."I said not tonight, Nathan," I repeated.Nathan adjusted the cuffs of his jacket, taking a step forward. "We can't keep sweeping this under the rug, Elijah. Something isn't right with Maya. The way she confessed today and the look in her eyes, she was terrified. I think she's in serious danger."A bitter laugh escaped my throat. I shook my head, crossing my arms over my chest. "Danger? Maya isn't in danger, Nathan. She’s playing us. She has always loved playing the helpless victim, dragging every single one of us into her pathetic little dramas. If she really needed help, she wouldn't have run straight into the arms of her new fuck mate."Nathan’s jaw tightened, a flash of irritation crossing his features. "She was visibly trembling, Elijah! You saw the marks on her, the way she could barely stand. None of this adds up. And what about Kar

Elijah's POVI stood outside Maya’s room, pulling my shirt down and adjusting my belt. My knuckles were white, clenched into tight fists. I had just taken her roughly, pinning her down, forcing her to endure my weight and spilling cum deep inside her until my body physically gave out.Yet, I felt no relief.The anger burning inside my chest hadn't faded at all. If anything, the intense friction, her quiet moans and the sight of her tears had only made the hunger inside me grow more violent. I had released sexually, but it wasn't enough. Sex could not cool the fire raging beneath my skin. I needed something else. I needed blood.I marched down the stairs, grabbed my car keys from the table and strode out to the garage. I got into my car, slammed the door and jammed my foot onto the accelerator. The engine roared as I sped out of the pack castle grounds, driving down the highway toward the dark underbelly of the city.Twenty minutes later, I pulled up behind an abandoned industrial w

Maya's POVThe drive back to the academy was swallowed by silence.Julian pulled up near the entrance, turning off the engine to look at me. I stepped out of the car, keeping my head low as I walked toward my next class.The moment I pushed the classroom door open, the room dissolved into loud whispers. Dozens of eyes locked onto me, filled with open disgust."Is that the liar?" a girl in the front row sneered loudly."She actually had the nerve to come to class after what she did to Alpha Karl," another student mocked.I hurried to an empty desk in the back but the insults only grew louder. Paper balls were tossed at my head and students leaned across the aisles to glare at me.The noise escalated until the teacher slammed her textbook on her desk, her face red with frustration.She glared directly at me. "Maya, your presence is completely distracting this class. Get out.""I didn't do anything–" I started, my voice breaking."Leave my classroom immediately," she cut me off coldly.L

Maya's POVMy head pounded with fever, my crushed hand aching beneath and my stomach twisted with nausea.When I pushed open the double doors of the cafeteria, the lunch crowd was in full swing.Hundreds of students filled the long tables, their laughter and conversations echoing in the cafeteria.Near the far side of the room, I spotted Stephen, Nathan and Elijah sitting together at the table reserved for the pack royalty.Karl sat a short distance away, sipping a drink with an unreadable expression.I forced my weak legs to move through the students.As I approached the table, the surrounding chatter slowly died down until an uncomfortable silence gripped the entire cafeteria.Stephen raised his head, his eyes locking onto me. A look of deep disgust crossed his face."Get out of my sight, Maya," he commanded. "You don't belong here."His powerful Alpha aura hit me like wave, making my knees buckle. I instinctively took a step back.Across the room, Karl arched a brow, his eyes narr

Maya's POVKarl took a slow sip of his drink, his gaze sweeping over my bruised body, taking in the blood stained bandages with amusement.The silence stretched between us until he finally set his glass down on the side table."Come here," he commanded.I stood rooted to the carpet, my breath catching in my throat."I said, come here," he repeated, lower this time, his tone carrying an edge that made my heart beat faster.I forced my weak legs to move, taking hesitant steps until I stood directly in front of his armchair.Before I could back away, Karl wrapped his hand around my waist and yanked me forward."Look at you," he sneered, his fingers digging uncomfortably into my skin. "A pathetic, broken thing. Did you truly believe you could turn the pack against me? Did you think Stephen or Nathan would save you from me?""Please..." I whispered, my voice barely audible as tears blurred my vision.Karl leaned closer, his hot breath fanning across my face, smelling of strong alcohol. "Ge

Maya's POVThe Head Maid closed the distance between us, her posture was stiff and her eyes burning with cold authority.Before I could move, she reached out and violently snatched the linen package of food right out of my hands."What gave you the right to think you deserve this, Maya?" she sneered, holding the bundle away from me as if it were contaminated. "You are no longer a guest in this castle. You are certainly not treated as a mate. You are a mere servant now and around here, a servant works for every single crumb she puts in her mouth.""She hasn't eaten in two days," Anna pleaded nervously, stepping forward. "Please, ma'am, I was just–"The loud sound of the Head Maid’s palm across Anna’s face echoed through the kitchen.Anna gasped, stumbling back into the edge of the prep table as a red handprint instantly bloomed across her left cheek."Silence!" the Head Maid barked at Anna. "If I catch you bending the rules for this girl again, I will have you stripped of your duties a
