Elara:

I didn’t want to leave the room.

I didn’t want to be seen by anyone today.

The curtains were still drawn, the light outside too bright, too honest. The bed beside me was cold, untouched, undisturbed, a silent reminder of everything that hadn’t happened.

He had left me.

And he had done it in front of people who were coming to see us together.

Not quietly. Not gently.

He had simply… walked away.

As if was nothing more than something to fill the gap, and suddenly, I was no longer worth the trouble.

My hands trembled as I smoothed the fabric of my nightdress, my reflection in the mirror unfamiliar. Pale. Exposed. Smaller than I remembered being. And for a second, I found myself not knowing how I could react.

A knock sounded, taking me by surprise despite me catching her scent.

Then the door opened without waiting for permission.

“Get up.” Luna Isobel’s voice was calm. Commanding. “You shouldn’t be laying on your bed all day.”

I didn’t turn. “I don’t feel well. I didn’t get any slee

    Isobel:I saw it in his eyes the moment he heard that I was the one who invited her over.And everyone in the room could feel the tension despite the music playing, despite the clatter, the drinks, and this little entertainment night.The tightness of the air.The sharp flare of his dominance.My son had always worn his emotions like a blade, controlled, lethal, but unmistakable once drawn.And now… I knew very well that he was angry. Good, this would teach him to play such games, and to allow him to have someone to think that they could hold any control over him without my permission.Marcel crossed the hall toward me, his steps measured but furious beneath the surface.“What are you doing?” he asked quietly, the kind of quiet that warned of violence. “Because you have clearly crossed a limit that you shouldn’t have.”I did not look away from Katherine as I answered. “Nothing. I don’t think that I did… but do enlighten me, son.”His jaw tightened. “You invited her. The one person tha

    Marcel:“I will call for Lia when the gathering is done.” I told Theia who nodded.“What if you are late, Alpha? Should I let her wait?” She asked, and I shook my head.I didn’t plan on staying late, but her question was still a valid one. And I knew not to let her wait for too long.“No.” I said calmly. “Tell her to go and rest in my room. I will be seeing her when I am back.”“But, Alpha…”“I trust that she is not going to do anything.” I said, stopping Theia.“Alpha, it is not about trust. But if you open that door, then it is not going to be closed easily. Others will talk, and that talking is not going to get you, or her, anywhere that will be in your benefit. Plus, if anything was to happen, she would be the first suspect.” Theia said, looking me in the eye. “I can understand that you want her close, but my job here to protect her as much as I would protect you.”I looked at her and nodded, knowing that she of all people didn’t play the games the others did. She didn’t fight aro

    Lia:“What are you planning to wear?”“I mean, it is not like anyone is going to see us. We are going to be here in the harem. To say the least, it might be a headmistress or another consort, but the Alphas won’t catch sight of us.” Another commented.The gathering spread through the consort hall like wildfire.Alphas were coming, powerful ones, territorial ones, men whose presence alone shifted the balance of a room. The girls buzzed with anticipation, excitement sharp and glittering, dresses already being discussed, smiles practiced in mirrors.I sat apart, listening more than watching.I knew that neither consort was going to be seen, nor were they going to be noticed by the men that they wanted seeing them. Unless the Alpha aimed on giving one of them as a ‘gift’ to another, then I doubted that this was going to be the case.Then I felt it.The pause.The shift.One of the consorts’ gazes snagged on my neck.“Well,” she drawled, tilting her head, eyes gleaming, “the Alpha must be

    Marcel:The day dragged on longer than it should have.Meetings blurred together, territory reports, supply routes, lingering unrest from the Council’s collapse. I handled it all on instinct, my mind sharp but restless, pulled elsewhere no matter how much discipline I forced onto it.It wasn’t until Vladimir entered my office that the tension finally shifted. “You are going to be late for today’s gathering.”“I doubt that this is why you came here, Vladimir.” I said, and he chuckled, shaking his head at me, clearly amused.“No, it is not.” He said, stepping inside. “But it is one of the things that I need to remind you about. The other packs have gotten distracted from the mating thing that happened between you and Elara, and you abandoning it midway, or they didn’t seem to care enough about it to put any pressure on the subject. But it does not mean that they are going to completely forget. And it is events and gatherings like this one that would keep the alliances.”“I would leave t

    Elara:The door had barely closed behind her before the words tore out of me.“You ignored it.” I said, looking at Luna Isobel, my eyes wide in surprise at the fact that she deliberately chose to ignore the disrespect that the bitch chose to throw in my way. “She should have been punished! This shouldn’t have gone unspoken of!”Luna Isobel didn’t look up right away. She adjusted the folds of her dress with infuriating calm, as if nothing of importance had just happened.“She disrespected me, and you always said that when that happened, it meant that the disrespect was thrown at you too!” I pressed, my voice tight. “She walked in here marked, flaunting it, and you chose to smile. You chose to ignore it. You chose to give her more value than she actually should have had!”Only then did Luna Isobel lift her gaze.“Sit,” she said.I didn’t.My hands clenched at my sides. “I have stood by you through everything. Through Marcel’s rebellion, through the council’s fall, through every decision

    Lia:“I will call for you later today.”“I believe that it is going to be a habit then?” I asked, making him smile.He cupped my cheeks and connected his lips with mine, making me smile. I put my hands on his torso, as he deepened the kiss for just one more second before pulling away to look at me.“I would ask you to settle in my room, but I know that we are still too far away for that to happen.” He teased, making my chest swell with an emotion that I didn’t even think could exist. He ran his finger over my jawline before pecking my lips one more time. I took a step back as he opened the door, allowing me to leave.I left quietly, a small smile on my face which I couldn’t deny or hide no matter how hard I tried.My steps were steady, my shoulders relaxed, my breath even. I didn’t feel like I was running from a battlefield or bracing for an attack. And apparently, that difference showed.Theia noticed it immediately as I approached her.She was waiting just outside the corridor, her
