ARIEL’S POVFor once, I thought I might actually have a peaceful day, because today was sports day, and the only reason I needed to go to school was to check in.“No matter how much you jog, you will still remain fat,” Cassandra said, staring at me with her hands on her hips.I glanced at her. “Can I do my jogging in peace?”“Come on, we both know you've been jogging for years, and yet you're still so fat,” Cassandra replied with a laugh. “I mean, chubby is actually more of a praise.”I ignored her and continued jogging around the garden, trying to push her words aside.“Cassandra, you're waiting for me, right?” Mom asked as she walked out of the house.“Yes, Mom,” Cassandra replied.“It's time to get ready for school,” Mom told her.Cassandra nodded before suddenly remembering something. “Today, Alpha Prince Luca is playing, and Valentina has made me a part of the cheerleading squad.”At the mention of Luca's name, I slowed down a little.“Good,” Mom replied. “Now that you're close t

KYLE’S POV“Alpha, for how long are you going to keep looking at that document?” Eric asked.I ignored him and flipped to the next page. “You’ve read that for more than ten times. There are lots of documents that need your attention.”I had been staring at the same words for several minutes without actually reading them. My mind kept going back to the video, to her face, and to the possibility that the woman I had mourned for twenty-five years was somehow alive again.I finally closed the document and turned toward him. “What is your job if I have to do everything?”“Everything? I’ve been working,” Eric replied.“Good for you, then.”“Good? Please, give me the document,” Eric said, stretching out his hand.“Why should I give you the document?” I asked.Eric put on a stern face, and I dropped the document into his hand. I gave it to him not because I was scared of his face, but definitely because I was tired of listening to him.“Just hand over this document. I’ll bring it back in an h

ARIEL’S POVI hurried down the stairs, already rushing to leave the house, but before I could reach the door, Mom's voice stopped me.“Good morning, Mom. I'm heading to class, and I'm already almost late,” I said as I turned around.“And what chores have you done this morning?”“Oh, Mom, please. I'll do them when I get back. If I leave now, I can still make it before class starts.”“Right. And who's going to do your work while you're gone? Me?” she asked, her voice filled with irritation. “Have everything done before you leave.”“Mom, please…”She had already turned her back to me and started heading upstairs before I could say anything else. A moment later, Cassandra came rushing down the stairs, looking completely unbothered. Mom immediately turned her attention to her.“Morning, dear. Your breakfast is on the table, and I sent you money for lunch. Have fun.”“Thanks, Mom,” she replied before hurrying past me.Of course. The job was for me, not for everybody else in the house.I hea

~ KYLE'S POV ~I flipped to the next page. The entire building had been cleared out, leaving only me and the books. It wasn't that I valued books. I hated them, but they were Lilith's favorite books, and I was still trying to understand what she had loved about them.Then I heard hurried footsteps approaching, and a moment later, the door burst open.“Alpha!”Eric rushed inside, panting heavily, and I slowly lifted my eyes from the book.“Eric, what do you want?” I asked, my voice calm despite the interruption. “I specifically requested privacy and silence.”“Alpha, you need to see this.”I dropped the book onto the table. “Hurry up.”“There’s a huge issue at the university.”“What issue?” I asked as I got to my feet, already expecting another one of his meaningless reports.“A rejection was just broadcast live. It’s spreading through the university and far beyond.”“And this is my business?” I asked. “I own the university. That doesn't mean I need to sort out every problem involving

~ ARIEL'S POV ~“I, Luca Morreti, reject you, Ariel Malini, as my mate.”The moment he said that, a sharp pain shot through me, and I gasped, grabbing my chest as my knees gave way beneath me. It felt as though whatever was connecting me to Luca had been ripped apart.I struggled to breathe as his words kept replaying in my head.My mate had just rejected me.I didn't know who to blame. My sister, who had accidentally revealed that my test report today showed I was infertile, or myself for being so useless. For being a fatty.My mind went back to the way Luca had laughed when he found out about my test results. What was it that he called me?Right.A wolfless and infertile fatty.I deserved that.For years, I had been called a fatty, but now I was beginning to realize that everyone had been right.“You are completely useless.”Mom's words from earlier today replayed in my head. She had been furious when she saw my test report.“I thought that even if you couldn't be a good enough asse
