Kiera’s pov

Susan and I spent the next two days buried in the palace archives. Elara had sneaked us in, her hands shaking the whole time, terrified of what would happen if we were caught. But I didn't care about being caught. I cared about staying alive.

What we found about the women who participated in the last trials made my blood run cold.

    Kiera povThe feeling of being watched didn't go away. Even after I returned to my room and locked the door, I felt like eyes were boring into my back. But that wasn’t even why I couldn't sleep. Elara had told me that the she overheard that the nobles had begun planning the trials so I had sent her to spy on them and was now waiting for her reply.I now was pacing back and forth in my room, the floorboards groaning under my boots. Every time I looked at the walls, I felt like they were closing in. I had barely rested, and my head was pounding.Finally, the door burst open. And Elara stood there, with her chest heaving, looking like she’d just run a marathon. Her face was ashen."They just posted the schedule," she blurted out, gripping the doorframe. "The first trial start next week. And Luna Kiera… it’s combat. It’s physical combat against the other Lycanwomen."I froze mid-step. The air seemed to leave the room. "Combat? You mean training?" I whispered"No," Elara said, her eyes wi

    Kiera’s povSusan and I spent the next two days buried in the palace archives. Elara had sneaked us in, her hands shaking the whole time, terrified of what would happen if we were caught. But I didn't care about being caught. I cared about staying alive.What we found about the women who participated in the last trials made my blood run cold."Look at this," Susan whispered, pointing to a dusty ledger from fifty years ago. "Another one. 'Lady Isolde, died during trial phase three. Cause: Accident.' And here, thirty years ago. 'Lady Mara, died during phase two. Cause: Drowning.'"I scanned the pages. There were names, dates, and causes of death that were clearly lies. It wasn't just a competition; it was a graveyard. "There are no investigations," I said, my voice tight. "No one ever gets charged. It’s like they just wipe the slate clean and start again with a fresh batch of girls.""It’s not just an accident," Susan muttered, looking pale. "It’s murder, Kiera. And the court just watch

    Rafael’s povThe gold Alistair had given us was sitting in the vault, the new territories were under my name, and the pack was supposedly under my complete control. I had everything I had planned and plotted for, everything I had wanted when I decided to push Kiera aside. So why did I feel like I’d been robbed?I paced the length of my office, the luxury of the room feeling more like a cage than a throne. I should have been celebrating, but instead, I was staring at a stack of reports that made no sense."You’re brooding again," a voice drawled from the doorway.I looked up to see Alice lounging against the frame, wearing a silk robe that cost more than a month’s worth of pack supplies. She looked bored. She always looked bored."I’m working, Alice," I snapped. "Something you wouldn't understand."She rolled her eyes and walked over, pouring herself a drink from my decanter. "Working? You’re staring at papers. Since when does the Alpha do paperwork? Isn’t that what you have subordina

    AlistairAfter Kiera stormed out, the study door clicked shut, leaving me alone in the suffocating silence. I paced the floor and inhaled deeply because, the air was still thick with the lingering, sweet scent of her. My muscles were tight, and buzzing with an energy that wasn't just frustration… it was pure, kinetic anticipation.I hadn't felt this alive and turned on in years… And this was the feeling only kiera seemed to provoke in me from the very first day I ever saw her.My mind drifted back to the first night we met. She had been terrified, trembling, but also very curious in my arms. And her eyes had been wide with a pure, unadulterated fear that had hooked me instantly. She was had been so soft, so submissive, and a perfect little omega just waiting to be told what to do. But that wasn’t all…Under that scared submissive lady was a fiery vixen burning and fighting to come out, and only I had seemed to see it.The sex that night had been... explosive. It was raw, carnal, an

    Kiera"And if I refuse?" I had asked and he smirked.He leaned against the desk, his eyes dark. "Then the contract is void. I send you back to Rafael, where he’ll likely finish what he started, or I kill you myself. Those are your choices."I felt the blood drain from my face from the shock. Would he really do that to me?!After saving me from that monster, would he really throw me back to that heartless monster just because I refused to play in this stupid competition?Dear goddess, susan was right. This man was truly a monster! I was fighting to marry a monster!The thought terrified me but I hardened my resolve. I wouldn't go back to Rafael. I wouldn't die because Alistair wanted to watch me jump through hoops. I had come too far to let this stop me."Fine," I said, my voice steady. "When do we start?""That will be communicated to you soon," he said, a cruel amusement playing on his lips. "And don't look so hopeful, Kiera. This isn't a game. They will try to break you. Some of th

    KieraWe were now alone in the locked room, just the two of us. And when he finally whirled around to glare at me, suddenly, I didn’t feel so bold anymore.The silence in the study was deafening but Alistair still didn't let go of my hand. I thought he was about to snap at me with the way he was glaring at me, but he did not, instead, he just marched me across the room until I hit the edge of his massive, oak desk, and then he spun me around, pinning me against the wood with his body.He was vibrating with adrenaline and his breathing was heavy, ragged as he leaned in, his face inches from mine."What the hell were you thinking back there?" he demanded, his voice a low, rough growl. "You were told to wear what was in your room. Why did you dare disobey me?"I intentionally looked up at him, with wide eyes, and my lower lip trembling just a fraction, because I knew that this was the perfect picture of the terrified, submissive wife that he expected. I dropped my gaze, staring at the
