They watched me like I was dirt tracked across polished stone.

I walked between two guards — tall, stoic, silent — but their presence offered no protection. Not from the way the servants glanced up as I passed. Not from the way their eyes slid down my robe, resting on the burn mark at my throat where the silver collar still clung.

Not from the smirks.

Not from the whispers.

They didn't speak loud.

They didn't need to.

"That's her?"

"The little Vale girl?"

"God, he really did collar her."

"I heard she moaned."

"Slut."

I kept walking, each step echoing through corridors that stretched endlessly before me. The stone beneath my bare feet was smooth, worn by countless footsteps of those who walked these halls with purpose, with belonging. I had neither.

Barefoot, bruised, and so exposed I might as well have been naked. The robe Kael had given me was thin. Purposefully sheer. It didn't hide anything. Not the bite on my neck. Not the fading bruises between my thighs. Not the heat still linge

    The maid’s eyes met mine, and I recognized her. Elira’s shadow. One of her handmaidens, who had trailed her like a wraith, who had witnessed her every bruise, her every scar. She knew the truth of what Roran Vale had done. Had seen Elira’s suffering firsthand.And now she had spat venom at Aria because of it.A muscle ticked in my jaw as I stepped toward her, slow and deliberate. Predatory.“Do you know why you’re standing here?” I asked, my voice low, dangerous. Each word carefully controlled, which somehow made them more threatening than if I’d shouted.She lifted her chin, trembling but trying to stand tall despite the broken bones in her body. Despite the obvious pain. “Because I spoke the truth.”My wolf surged at the insolence, snarling to be let loose, demanding I rip her throat out for the disrespect. But I held him back—barely.“The truth,&rdqu

    “Alpha,” one of the generals said carefully, his voice breaking through the suffocating tension. He was young, newer to my ranks, and the fear in his voice was palpable. “We had reports of movement near the southern border. It may be the Vale scouts testing our patrols again.”Vale.Rage ignited instantly, a white-hot fury that burned away everything else. Her father’s pack. The reason she was here. The reason my wolf was unraveling. The man who had killed Elira.Elira.The name echoed in my mind, and I waited for the grief to come. The rage. The hollow ache that had consumed me after her death.But it didn’t come.Instead, all I could think about was Aria’s taste on my tongue.The realization made me sick.I should thank Roran for sending her to me—if only so I could break her piece by piece and send him the scraps. Show him what happened to his pr

    I pressed my forehead against my knees, a bitter laugh catching in my throat. For years I thought being wolf-less was my curse. The great shame of my life, the thing that made me less than everyone around me. But now I had a wolf, and she was a bigger mystery than the silence that had haunted me for nineteen years.At least the silence had been empty. This—this was full of shadows and secrets I couldn’t name.She whispered again, soft this time, almost kind: “Learn, Aria. Because if Kael ever realizes what I am, what you are, neither of us will have the choice to fight back.”The words sent ice through my veins. What I am. What *we* are. As though I was something other than what I’d always believed. As though there was more to my existence than just being Roran Vale’s disappointing daughter.“Then tell me,” I whispered aloud, my voice hoarse. “Tell me what we are.”But

    The door had slammed shut behind him, and the silence he left in his wake pressed against my skin harder than his hands had. I was still sprawled across his bed, hair a tangled mess around my face, my lips bruised from his kiss. My lungs dragged in air like I had been drowning, and maybe I had—because when Kael touched me, I didn’t know where the monster ended and the man began. The chamber felt too large now, too empty, the space he’d occupied suddenly a vacuum that made the air feel thin. I could hear my own heartbeat, still racing, still thundering against my ribs like it was trying to escape my chest. Like it knew something I didn’t want to admit. I hated that I could still feel him. The heat of his grip on my waist. The phantom weight of his chest pinning me down. The echo of his voice, low and ragged, hissing in my ear: “You’ll never forget you’re mine.” Every place he’d touched felt branded, like his fingerprints had been burned into my ski

    The dual sensations were overwhelming. His mouth on one breast, his hand on the other, both working in tandem to unravel me completely. To reduce me to nothing but sensation and need."Stop—" I whispered weakly, but the word died when his tongue plunging deep while his hand twisted my nipple just enough to make me shudder. Just enough to drag another broken sound from my throat."You'll remember this," he growled against my lips, his breath coming in harsh pants now. "Every time you breathe, every time you move—you'll remember who did this to you."And I hated him for it. Hated him with a fury that burned almost as hot as the desire.I hated myself even more for the way heat coiled low in my stomach, for the way my body trembled not only in fear but in something far more dangerous. For the wetness I could feel gathering between my thighs, evidence of my body's absolute betrayal. Evidence I couldn't hide or deny.Some

    He pulled back just enough to look at me, his eyes dark and burning, his lips red and swollen from the kiss. There was something wild in his gaze, something that looked both triumphant and tortured. Like he hated what he was doing as much as he couldn't stop himself from doing it."You hate it, don't you?" His voice was hoarse, cruel in its certainty. His fingers pinched my nipple sharply, making me jolt, a strangled sound tearing from my throat. "Hate how your body betrays you. Hate how I can make you burn with nothing but my hand."I shook my head, though I didn't know if I was denying him or myself. The truth was too complicated, too twisted to untangle in this moment. Too shameful to admit even inside my own head.What did I want? I didn't know anymore. I couldn't separate my desires from my fears, couldn't tell where self-preservation ended and treacherous wanting began. The line had blurred until it didn't exist at all.My lips parte
