CHOSEN BY RUIN The Carnage
LILIANAThe Carnage reeks of blood, sweat, and metal.The scent is thick and very uncomfortable, clinging to the back of my throat. I have no doubt people have been executed here before. But it’s dark in here and I can’t really see much.My hands are heavily chained together, cold iron biting into my wrists. My legs too, the weight dragging against my skin every time I try to move.I swallow hard.The darkness here makes everything feel closer than it is. Like something could be standing right in front of me and I wouldn’t know until it touches me.And it’s very, very scary.No one is here.At least… no one I can see.The silence presses in, broken only by the faint sound of my own breathing and the distant dripping of something I don’t want to think about.In here, you lose track of time.Minutes feel like hours.Or maybe hours have already passed and I don’t even know it.My eyes begin to water. My strength is waning, but I can’t stop thinking about Rhea.Even if I’m going to die…
CHOSEN BY RUIN A Brave Lie
LILIANAI go into defensive mode immediately- out of impulse and utter fear. “That doesn’t belong to me!”I blurt, my voice trembling at the edges. Professor Imogene scoffs, the sound dripping with mockery. “Lying will not save you, child. If anything, it will only worsen your punishment.”I still. Punishment…My hands curl into my black sweaty dress. I already know what that punishment is. Students who trespass into forbidden floors are not spared.They are executed.Death is the punishment.The hall feels colder out of nowhere, the air pressing down on my lungs as if it wants to suffocate me right here.No. I cannot break.I have to keep denying it, no matter what. One of the Elders steps forward, his robes dragging softly against the floor as he reaches out and takes the wrist chain from Imogene’s hand. His eyes narrow as he studies it, then he lifts his gaze toward the others.“There is a simple way to confirm the truth of this situation,” he says calmly. “We call the mind-reade

“She deserves no pity if she truly harmed the Alpha heir. Justice is non-negotiable.” Alpha Soren adds.His words hit harder than Alpha Kol’s slap.My chest caves in at the sudden realization. He’s abandoning me.My fingers curl tightly against the floor as something inside me breaks quietly.But before anyone else can add, the doors to the hall burst open.The sound echoes loudly, pulling every gaze in the room toward the entrance.Darian walks in and my heart skips. For a second, I thought it was Xaden. Yet, relief crashes into me so suddenly I almost gasp. He’s familiar and safe. I hate how I’m desperate to depend on something currently, but it’s my only best bet.I haven’t seen him since last night. Not since after he came to meet me behind that hall when I ran out.His eyes find mine instantly.Then they move away, locking onto the elders.“This meeting is restricted,” Beta Aegon says sharply. “You shouldn’t be here.”Darian doesn’t slow.“That’s funny,” he replies calmly, steppi
CHOSEN BY RUIN What Real Danger Looks Like
LILIANA“She should be locked up in the carnage and chained until the Alpha heir wakes. There’s no simpler judgment for what she did.”Beta Aegon’s voice cuts through the hall with cold finality, and my chest tightens painfully at the weight of it.The irony of his judgment almost makes me laugh amidst the whole turbulence.The same Beta Aegon who plotted with Imogene to kill Luna Gwen.The same man who wants Xaden dead…And now he stands here, speaking like a reputable Beta who represents true justice.I kneel at the center of the hall, surrounded by executives and elders, their presence pressing down on me like a physical force. The marble beneath my knees feels too hard and cold, grounding me in a reality I wish I could escape.Luna Gwen isn’t here.She hasn’t even looked at me since last night. The moment she rushed upstairs at Rhea’s call, she had ordered for Xaden to be taken to the healers’ section and had followed them. Including Rhea. And I… I was dragged here by the pack so
CHOSEN BY RUIN What Have I Done?
LILIANAMy knees hit the floor before I even realize I’ve moved.“Xaden…”My voice breaks around his name as I crawl toward him, my hands shaking so badly I can barely steady myself. He’s still.“No… no, no, no…” The words spill out of me without control as I reach for him, my fingers hovering for a second before I finally touch him.His skin is warm.That alone gives me a flicker of hope.“Xaden, wake up…” I whisper urgently, pushing his shoulder, then harder this time. “Please wake up.”He doesn’t move.“Kendra?” The voice that claimed she’s my wolf doesn’t answer. What? It led me to strike but disappears now that I have a problem? How am I even sure it’s really my wolf? I didn’t produce fangs or shift. That realization dawns on me heavily, making my headache worsen.I will worry about that later. Xaden has to wake. He just has to. He has no choice.My chest tightens painfully as panic claws its way up my throat. I shift closer, my hands moving to his face, cupping it, searching f
CHOSEN BY RUIN At Her Call
LILIANA “Wake up. We’re in trouble.”A tiny voice pulls me out of sleep.My eyes snap open as a sharp breath tears out of my chest.For a second, I just lie there, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, my heart racing like I’ve been running for miles. Something feels…wrong. My body feels light and charged, and there’s something humming beneath my skin that I don’t understand.This isn’t my room. My gaze jerks around quickly, taking everything in at once. The dark walls and clean structure…That scent—sharp, masculine, addictive and overwhelming in a way that makes me want to sniff it strongly. And I did.Why am I in Xaden’s room?My eyes drop to my body and I gasp. I’m covered in just bra and panties under the blanket. My hands fly to cover my body as if it’s not too late to cover up.My hair is damp. What happened? Why am I like this in his room? And where’s he?How did I even get here? I push myself up immediately, confusion crashing into me all at once. My memory is blu
