Alina’s POV

The maids came back in like they had never left, gliding into the room with practiced grace. One of them held something carefully in her arms like it was a sacred offering, wrapped in translucent silk. She stepped forward and slowly unwrapped it, revealing the dress.

My lips parted slightly. For a long second, I said nothing. The gown looked like something torn out of a royal fantasy, soft purple swirled with hints of white, and little strips of glitter shimmered beneath the light like tiny stars trapped in the fabric.

I didn’t even know cloth could shine like that without looking cheap or too bold. This one didn’t scream for attention – it whispered elegance.

Before I could utter a single word, two of them moved toward me and gently tugged at my robe.

My breath caught.

I nearly shivered.

The robe slipped to the floor, and suddenly I was standing there, stark naked, exposed to eyes that didn’t even flinch.

No judgment, no curiosity. Just focus.

    Alina’s POV I shook my head, my voice soft but firm. “I don’t wish to interfere. I just want to look at what’s happening.”It was a lie. A tiny one, maybe. But it came out too smoothly for my liking. The truth was, I needed to know what kind of man I was really tying myself to, even if temporarily. But I didn’t want to scare Lily more than she already looked. Her pale face and trembling hands gave her away.“You can’t go there… it’s horrible,” she whispered, almost pleading. “His beast mode is always activated in there. People say he becomes someone else, bloodthirsty and cold.”I placed my hand gently on her shoulder, mustering a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. You won’t get in trouble. I won’t go in. I just want to see… from a distance.”My words sounded more like a promise, and after a brief hesitation, she gave in with a reluctant nod.We walked in silence, tension curling in the air like a snake ready to strike. The path behind the packhouse felt longer than it truly was. With e

    Alina’s POV He hesitated. Blinked. Then turned his eyes to mine, haunted with something I couldn’t name.“She was…”“Was it his past lover?” I asked quietly, not sure if I wanted to know, but needing to.The wind stirred around us, and Cade said nothing.Not yet.Then he shrugged with a chuckle that sounded more like a defense mechanism than something genuine. It didn’t come from the gut, not like laughter that rolled out of joy. No, this was the kind of chuckle people used to cover things up.“I think you should ask him,” he said.I narrowed my eyes slightly and tilted my head. “What? Don’t want to snitch on your Alpha to his soon-to-be bride? That loyal?” I teased, half-smirking.Cade shook his head, a glint of something unreadable in his gaze. “Not really. I just prefer not to get in between. And I know if you ask, he might actually tell you.”I rolled my eyes. “Yeah… like you’d confess to your new fling about your ex right when you’re screwing her,” I said dryly, the sarcasm prac

    Alina’s POV I stood before the mirror in my room, my back turned as I slowly pulled down my sleeve. The faint rustle of fabric against skin was the only sound in the stillness. The blouse slipped off one shoulder, exposing the top curve of my back to the mirror. And there it was again, the mark.The crescent.It shimmered faintly like light bouncing on still water, except it wasn’t light, it was something else. Something strange. Something I didn’t ask for. I stared at it longer, hoping, begging for it to reveal its meaning. But it just sat there, glowing gently like it owned me.What was it?I exhaled deeply, the weight of confusion pressing down on my chest. I pulled the sleeve back up and buttoned my blouse again, slower this time, as if delaying the inevitable questions clawing at the inside of my mind.I needed answers. That dream last night still clung to my skin like cold sweat. That woman – me, but not me – with the same mark had spoken like she knew something I didn’t. Like

    Alina’s POV “No,” I replied curtly, my voice clipped like the snap of a closing gate. “Because Cade isn’t just another man.”His jaw tensed, the line of his mouth flattening. For a moment, I thought he’d say nothing. Then, with a short breath that seemed to scrape through his throat, he shrugged.“Fine.” His tone was light, but there was an edge to it, raw and biting. “Do as you wish. It won’t bother me in the slightest. You can fall for his pure charm too. I don’t care.”That stung more than it should have.A slow smirk tugged at my lips, part mocking, part armor. But before I could let it speak for me, he flicked a sharp look in my direction.“By the way,” he said, voice low and annoyingly composed, “let’s start training for you. It’s quite unfortunate” – his emphasis on the word was like a deliberate sting – “that Cade won’t be able to train you.”I blinked. “What? Training?”He nodded once, leaning back in his chair like he hadn’t just thrown a wrench into my peace.“Yes. You can

    Alina's POV I paused and gave him a flat look. “So that’s why you invited me this morning? To mock me over toast and eggs?”He chuckled. “Well, I did want to see if you were chewing your tongue.”I rolled my eyes, but the corner of my lips betrayed me.He wasn’t done.“You used to be so dramatic. Like the world was going to collapse if you so much as looked in my direction. And now? You even smiled when I served your tea.”“That was a polite reaction,” I said dryly.“You rolled your eyes at me with grace. That’s called growth.”“I will stab you with this butter knife.”He grinned and leaned forward. “And here I was thinking you’d matured.”I tried to hold it in. Really, I did.But then he said, “Do you remember when you said I looked like a vulture and that you’d rather marry a tree stump than me?”That did it.I dropped my spoon and laughed, my shoulders shaking before I could stop myself.He laughed too, soft and pleased with himself. Then, without any warning, he said another line

    Alina’s POVI should’ve been relieved that the ball was over.But no. The moment we stepped out of that grand hall, reality started to feel… fragile. Like glass under my feet.We’d done well, Lucian and I. Pretending like we were the real thing. Smiling in sync. Dancing like every step was choreographed by fate. His hand never left mine, not even once. I laughed, tilted my head when he whispered something ridiculous, and leaned in just right when others were watching. It felt smooth. Too smooth.But I didn’t miss the eyes. The curiosity cloaked behind champagne glasses. The sideways glances filled with wonder, or worse, suspicion. It clung to me all night like perfume I never asked to wear.Lucian, on the other hand, played his role effortlessly. Powerful. Respected. Feared. Everything an Alpha was supposed to be.And hot. Goddess, it still annoys me how good he looked in that suit.Still, even with all the acting, I couldn’t deny we looked like we had it all.Even if it was a lie.De
