MasukLater the next day in class, the chalkboard at the front of the room was covered in complex history equations, but none of the words made any sense.Maya shoved a folded piece of notebook paper across the desk, as i unfolded the note, my eyes scanning the hurried handwriting.Are you going to tell me what happened at the hospital or do I have to pry it out of you piece by piece?I picked up my pen, scribbling a fast reply.My dad is forcing Garrick to marry Kate.I slid the paper back across the desk, Maya stared down at the words, her eyes widening in disbelief as she dropped her pen, she turned her head toward me, leaning close across the aisle."Marry her?" Maya mumbled, her voice barely audible."Is your dad out of his mind? Didn't you brother say he never seen her before."I know Maya, but the things is my dad does not care.The council is telling my dad to let Garrick marry Kate, because of the gossip, he wants the wedding done this weekend.""This weekend, that is insane, that
"How come?" Garrick mumbled, scrambling up from the floor while wiping blood from his split lip."This can't be true. She is lying. I have never seen this woman in my entire life."My father didn't lower his fist, he stood over Garrick, holding the crumpled DNA paper up."The test does not lie," my father muttered, pointing at the white sheet."The lab results match your DNA, You are the father, you have brought shame unto our house, and you are still lying to my face.""I am not lying," Garrick mumbled, stumbling back against the wall."I swear to the moon goddess I never touched her, i don't know who she is, someone probably switched those papers, to frame me.""Enough," my father snapped, cutting him off with a wave of his hand."Silence, i will not listen to another word of your excuses.You already ruin our family name, you made us a joke across every pack in this kingdom, and you will fix it.""Fix it?" Garrick scoffed, shaking his head."How am I supposed to fix a lie?""You
Before I could even process the sentence, little Theo let out a loud gasp, dropping my hand and darting straight for the front door. He sprinted past the guard and out onto the hallway, his tiny legs moving as fast as they could carry him up the pack hospital."Theo, wait," I mumbled, dropping my backpack and bolting after him.Garrick didn't say a word, but he followed right behind me, as we raced up the path. The cold wind whipped against my face, but I didn't care. My mind spun through a hundred wild possibilities. She is awake. She can finally explain what this is. She can tell everyone why she brought that boy to our house and why she smashed her head against the stone pillar.We burst through the door of the pack hospital, the smell of antiseptic hitting my nose instantly. Nurses scrambled out of our way as we charged down the corridor.When we reached room 402, the door was already open.Little Theo was standing right beside the high white bed, his small hands gripping the thi
Walking out of the academy gates with Maya right beside me felt like stepping out of a dark tunnel and into the sun.Just hours ago, I thought my life was completely destroyed. I thought I had lost my best friend forever, that my brother was doomed, and that my entire world was falling apart. But now, with Maya’s shoulder brushing against mine as we walked down the road together, everything felt lighter. The heavy weight on my chest finally cracked open.We had survived the worst storm, and we were standing together on the other side.Maya bumped her shoulder gently against mine, breaking the silent."So," Maya muttered, a small smirk pulling at the corner of her lips as she glanced sideways at me. "Are you going to tell me how you actually managed to conquer my cold, miserable brother? Because last I checked, Kaelven treats everyone like they are invisible dirt."I felt a hot flush rush straight up my neck, heating my cheeks into a bright red mess. I stared down at my shoes, pul
"Maya, please wait," I shouted, sprinting down the hallway and catching up to her right by the double doors leading out of the academy.I reached out, grabbing her arm gently to stop her from walking away.Maya stopped, pulling her arm out of my grip. She turned around, crossing her arms over her chest, glaring down at the floor before finally looking up at me."What do you want, Vanya?" Maya muttered, "Do you have another secret to dump on me? Another brother you are sleeping with? Or did another random woman show up at your house to ruin your family?"The words stung, but I know i deserved it."I am sorry," I sobbed, tears spilling over my face, i didn't care that students were walking past us, staring and whispering. I didn't care about the hallway or the gossip or anything else. "Maya, please, just listen to me. I am so, so sorry.""Sorry?" Maya scoffed, shaking her head as hot tears welled up in her own eyes. "Is that all you have to say? Vanya, you lied to my face for months
The next morning, I woke up with a splitting headache, the kind that feels like someone is hammering a nail straight into the center of my skull.I buried my face in my pillow, groaning softly as the memories of yesterday came rushing back. Kate slamming her head against the stone pillar, the pool of blood on the floor, little Theo sleeping on our couch, and the pack doctor taking the DNA swabs. Every single detail sat heavy on my chest.I cannot go to the academy today, I thought, pulling the blanket up over my head. There is no way I can walk through those front doors after everything that has happened. The whispers about marcus were already bad enough, but now everyone knows about Garrick and the secret child. The whole pack is talking.Before I could sink back into sleep, the bedroom door flew open with a loud bang.My father stood in the doorway, his uniform sharp, his face carved out of pure stone. He crossed his arms over his chest, glaring down at me on the bed."Get up, Vany
Vanya’s POVI didn't speak. My tongue felt glued to the roof of my mouth.“Answer me!” Garrick roared. “Did someone bully you? Did anybody lay a finger on you at the academy?”“No!” The word burst from my throat before I could lose my nerve. I forced my hands to stop trembling, balling them into ti
Vanya’s POV“You like being fucked roughly, don’t you, girl?” he rasped, leaning down to pinch my left nipple roughly with his fingers while his cock kept going in and out of my soaking cunt.“Yes... yes” I screamed, my fingers digging deep into his muscular back, leaving bright red scratch m
Vanya’s POV“Go hide in the bathroom. Now,” Kaelven muttered.I ran straight to his bathroom to hide. I slammed the door shut and threw the lock just as the main office door flew open with a violent crash.“Where is my sister?” Garrick’s roar shook the walls. “I can smell her scent here”“Your si
Vanya’s POV“Spread your legs for your King, Vanya.”The voice in my head was a low, gravelly command that completely drowned out the history lecture. In the middle of the crowded academy hall, my thighs clamped together hard, an immediate, unbidden wave of heat soaking straight into my underwe
