Vanessa We were halfway back to the palace, with arms still linked, but my thoughts were far from Alec’s warmth.Everything we’d said tonight had unraveled our parents’ mess. Their obsessions. The blood they spilled in the name of pride and desire. Alec had let it slip earlier that my father and his used to be best friends. I hadn’t known. It explained too much—and not enough. They’d once been boys who shared everything.Friends who turned rivals because of a woman.Because neither could let go.Alec pulled in closer beside me. “Penny for your thoughts?”I blinked back to the present. it. He always knew when I was holding something back. The problem was, this time, I was holding too much.I sighed. “I was thinking that maybe… Olga’s prophecy shouldn’t be taken as gospel.”His steps faltered. “You don’t trust her visions?”I chose my words carefully.“I think prophecies aren’t laws but possibilities. Not all of them come true. Some are warnings. Paths we can still change, if we’re br

AlecVanessa’s refusal to be my mistress left a sharp discomfort lodged in my chest, the kind that didn't fade with silence.I didn’t understand her.She had just carved the final answer, yet she still walked beside me like the night hadn’t shifted between us. If she meant it, why hadn’t she left? Why were we still pretending there was more to talk about?The question burned at the back of my throat as we passed more streets and corners. I kept glancing sideways, expecting her to turn around. She didn’t.We came to a mini-park tucked behind the baker’s row. A stone bench sat under a lantern. She slowed, then sat, taking off her scarf.I hesitated, then I sat, leaving distance between us, unsure if I was still wanted near her at all.Neither of us spoke.Then, without a word, she leaned sideways and placed her head on my shoulder.I froze.Her hair brushed my jaw. Her breath touched my collarbone. It wasn’t seductive or dramatic. It was gentle. Intimate. Completely at odds with everyth

VanessaA flicker of surprise crossed Alec’s face, followed too quickly by hurt.I had wounded him.I hated that part of me wanted to reach for him. That some traitorous piece ached to soothe what I’d just broken. But weakness dressed as tenderness is still weakness. And I was done apologizing for having a spine.As tempting as it was to imagine a beautifully quiet life in some hidden cottage, with his hands on my skin and no one else to bother us, it was a fantasy wrapped in shame.“Vanessa—”“No,” I said again, sharper this time. “You’re not proud of me. That’s what this is.”“That’s not true.”“Then why do you want to hide me?”He exhaled, pacing a step away, then turned back with barely restrained frustration. “Because it’s not that simple. I’m the Alpha. There are rules. You know the council. You’ve seen what Lucas is capable of—and he’s nothing compared to what the others would do to you.”Of course, it wasn’t simple. That was the problem. I remembered the way Lucas looked at me

VanessaI double-checked the latch on the bathroom door. Old habit. Olga had taught me never to cry where someone could hear it. I didn’t just learn survival from her. I learned silence. Learned that grief was something to swallow, not spill.Weakness was always currency to be used.I was troubled by her threats. She had saved my life, taught me to be strong, and sharpened my hatred into a weapon. I owed her a debt I could never repay and felt the sharp sting of betraying her.But lately, the lessons felt more like chains. Even thinking that felt like betrayal. I hated myself for it, and hated her more for making me choose.Without Olga’s cause, who was I? I didn’t know. And maybe that was the real fear.Maybe she wasn't evil. Maybe she was blinded by her long-nurtured grief. Maybe she hated Alec so much that she couldn't see anything else.But I was tired.Because somewhere along the way, I’d stopped fantasizing about Alec’s death. I hadn’t even noticed it happening.That terrified m

AlecAfter the gender reveal, Maya had vanished into her shell, keeping to herself. Even Isabella couldn’t coax her out. She ignored her, ignored general meals, and wasn't even active in her Luna coronation process.I’d told Isabella and Lucas to try, as I didn’t have the mental patience to deal with her, knowing they’d calm her down or distract her.“She won’t speak to anyone,” Isabella said, her tone caught between concern and exasperation.Lucas joined her. “She’s moody because the child is a girl? That’s absurd.”“No,” Isabella corrected, folding her arms, “she’s moody because she’s afraid. And you would be too, Lucas, if the only thing holding your place in the palace was your womb.”I didn’t want to hear any of it. She wasn’t being logical. It wasn’t like I was going to cast her aside.“She’s still carrying my child,” I muttered, standing near the window, watching the gray clouds roll across the hills. “That hasn’t changed.”“She’s not talking to anyone,” Isabella reported, exas

VanessaThe strip of fabric scrubbed against the washboards. Where sounds were usually soothing, today they did nothing to quiet the storm inside me. My hands moved on their own, scrubbing and wringing my clothes, but my mind was miles away.All I kept thinking about was Alec and Maya—and the poison. My stomach twisted. I knew, with a certainty that chilled me to the bone, this was no accident. Someone had tried to harm Maya, and by extension, Alec’s child.It had to be Lucas. I knew Alga was lying to me. He was ruthless and ambitious. Perhaps he saw Maya as an obstacle—but an obstacle to what? He seemed loyal to Alec. The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Or perhaps it was his wife Isabella? Or even Nina and Gary, though I knew how ridiculous that last thought was.But I couldn’t trust anyone—not even sweet Nina.And I hated how bothered I was, as if Maya were my sister or something. For someone who had smashed a pot on my head, why did I care so much? But deep down, I needed to k
