The silence of my office felt heavier than usual. I’d sent away three messengers already, barked at two warriors, and snapped at my beta, and still, my chest hadn’t stopped aching since they carried Lisa out of the fighting ground. The sight of her—small, drenched in blood, ribs visibly broken—kept flashing in my mind. No matter how many years I’d seen warriors bleed, or how many battles I’d waded through ankle-deep in corpses, something about seeing her like that left a sour taste in my mouth. She wasn’t a seasoned fighter; she wasn’t supposed to be on the ground, torn and cracked open like some offering to the moon.And yet, she fought.She fought Irene with everything she had and more.

Enzo's POVThe silence of my office felt heavier than usual.

Alpha Rowland's POVI could barely keep the growl from tearing through my throat as I paced the room, fists clenched so tight my claws threatened to break through my skin. The image of my daughter—my precious Irene—humiliated in front of everyone, lying broken and battered because of that cursed duel, burned into my mind like fire I couldn’t put out. The rage coiled in my chest, and every heartbeat felt like an explosion waiting to detonate.A mere omega. A filthy, unworthy omega standing up to my daughter—an Alpha’s child, raised to be untouchable—and then the unimaginable happened. That girl, that wretched Lisa, had dared to overpower her. It wasn’t just defeat. No. It was ridicule. It was a slap to my name, to my legacy, to everything I had built.“I’ll kill him,” I muttered under my breath, my voice hoarse and raw from holding back a roar. “I’ll kill Enzo with my bare hands. How dare he allow this? How dare he let that disgrace happen under his roof?”
Bitten, Branded And Bare 109
Bryan's POVI carried Irene in my arms, her body limp, her breath shallow, and blood still staining her lips. My chest tightened with every step I took out of that damned arena. Her head rested against my shoulder, but the weight of her felt heavier than any burden I had ever known. The crowd’s noise followed me out, their chants and mocking laughter stinging my pride like knives. They had hailed Lisa, a nobody compared to Irene, the daughter of Alpha Rowland, my wife, my pride—my responsibility.Yet there she was, nearly lifeless in my arms.I could barely hear anything except the sound of my heartbeat thundering in my ears. My wolf paced inside me, furious, restless, wanting blood, but I forced him back. This wasn’t the time. I had to get her to the infirmary, I had to save her.“Move out of the way!” I barked at the guards standing by the corridor. They immediately stepped aside, their eyes widening at the sight of Irene’s mangled body. Some of

Third person POVEnzo’s chest tightened as the roar of the crowd echoed in his ears, drowning every thought but the sight of Lisa sprawled in the middle of the bloodied ring. Her body looked lifeless, her chest rising and falling shallowly, her skin pale and slick with sweat. For a brief, chilling moment, he thought her spirit had already left her body. Without a second’s hesitation, he broke through the circle, shoving aside the wolves who crowded too close, his boots echoing against the wooden floor of the ring box as he reached her.“Lisa!” His voice cracked as he fell to his knees beside her, his arms slipping beneath her limp frame. She was drenched in blood—hers and Irene’s—but Enzo couldn’t tell which wound belonged to which. All he knew was that her pulse had to be there, had to still exist, or he would tear apart everyone in this place with his bare hands.He pressed his ear against her chest for half a heartbeat before relief slammed through him
Bitten, Branded And Bare 107
Lisa's POVI could feel the crowd pressing in from all sides, their voices blending into one roaring wave of anticipation, mockery, and bloodlust. My hands were trembling, not out of fear but out of sheer awareness that this was no longer just a petty challenge. This was survival, pride, and the heavy weight of what it meant to be me — just an omega in their eyes, standing against Irene, a woman of royal blood.Her sneer cut deeper than any blade. “Do you think you can humiliate me by winning a game of archery, omega? You think that was real? That was luck. Nothing more.” Her voice dripped with venom as she stepped forward, shoulders squared, eyes blazing. “No ordinary omega can beat me.”The murmurs in the crowd grew louder, fueling her arrogance. I held my ground, staring straight at her. I wouldn’t bow, not today, not ever again.“If you’re so confident,” she snarled, “then let’s end this properly. A spar. A deadly one. If you win, I’ll grovel

The crowd was still buzzing with excitement from the archery competition when Irene’s voice cut through the air, sharp and venomous.“There’s no way an ordinary omega beat me,” she snapped, stepping forward with fury etched across her face. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her eyes darting to the murmuring crowd. “That result must be a joke. I demand another chance!”Lisa, still clutching the bow in her hand, lowered it slowly. She was breathing harder than she wanted anyone to notice, but she stood tall, refusing to cower. Her fingers trembled faintly before she clenched them tight to hide it.“Irene, the scores were announced,” Ash said, his tone cutting, almost mocking. “Lisa didn’t just beat you. She destroyed you.”A wave of laughter rippled through the spectators. Some clapped, others jeered, but it only made Irene’s face twist even more. Her pride was pierced, and her lips curled in rage.“You think this is funny?” Irene’s voice ro
