Mira's POV

The day went by too slowly.

Every hour crawled, my body moving through the motions of duty while my mind spun circles around a single truth: tonight, I would see him again.

I tried to focus… sorting herbs, memorizing passages of old records Harold had forced me to review, keeping my face composed in the hallways… but my mind kept drifting back to the night before. Nate’s eyes fluttering open. His cough tearing through silence like a war cry. The fire of my gift burning through me until my strength almost gave way.

And Liam. Always Liam. The note tucked under my pillow like a fragile heartbeat. His absence ate at me, but so did his words. ‘Forgive me. I’ll make it right.’

My wolf stirred restlessly under my skin, tail lashing, ears sharp. She cared nothing for excuses. All she cared about was that she was ours… and he had failed to stand at our side.

As dusk fell and the halls began to empty after the evening meal, my chest tightened. Soon. Too soon, not soon enough. I slipp

  • From Omega's Daughter To Alpha's Daughter   Nate is Alive 123

    Mira’s POVThe torchlights flickered low against the stone. I stood frozen, the weight of what I’d just seen pressing like iron on my chest. Just moments ago Liam’s fingers had brushed mine… a quiet plea for trust. And then… Dahlia’s hand closed around his arm, pulling him past me, past Cael, into the dark inner chambers. At the same time, relief flickered through me… relief that we hadn’t been caught. The mix of it all was too tangled to name.My throat burned. The bond pulsed hot, aching, furious. Kira snarled inside me, hackles raised. Mate. Ours. Not hers.I kept my mouth shut and stared straight ahead, even though every part of me wanted to run after him and tear Dahlia’s hand off his arm. But I couldn’t… not here, not with so much at stake. Her smug smile cut into me.The door shut behind them as they entered the castle, the faint click echoing like a hollow thud in my chest.Silence stretched in the corridor. My chest rose and fell fast, too fast. I couldn’t steady myself. I co

  • From Omega's Daughter To Alpha's Daughter   Pretending to be Fast Asleep 122

    Liam's POV The night closed in around me, thick and suffocating. Dahlia lay draped across my chest, smug satisfaction rolling off her in waves. Her perfume clung to my throat, cloying, choking. I stayed still, my chest rising and falling in slow, even rhythm, her silk twisted around my legs, every inch of her touch burning like poison.Inside, Kai clawed at me, howling Mira's name, demanding I shove Dahlia off and go where I belonged. To our mate. I kept my eyes closed. Pretending. Playing the role Dahlia wanted.She shifted against me, brushing her lips against my jaw as if savoring a prize. Then she let out a soft, smug laugh.“You think I don’t notice,” she whispered, almost to herself. “But I do. Still, mother and father will be pleased to know the plan is safe. And soon, that little exile will learn what happens when she sticks her nose where it doesn’t belong.”My blood ran cold. Mira.Dahlia slid off the bed, tying her robe at the waist. She glanced at me once, saw my closed

  • From Omega's Daughter To Alpha's Daughter   You're playing a Dangerous Game 121

    Liam's POV The bond between Mira and me surged hot, urgent, defiant. I wanted to reach for her, to claim her in the open, to tell Dahlia to burn in her own poison. But I forced my face to stay blank.“What do you want, Dahlia?” My voice was low, sharp.Her smile widened, soft and poisonous. “Only to know why the three of you are wandering in the dead of night.” Her gaze slid over me, then landed deliberately on Mira. “Surely, you aren’t up to mischief. Or maybe you are.”Mira’s fingers twitched against her satchel. The bond carried her fury into my chest, steady flames I could almost taste.I stepped half a pace forward, blocking Dahlia’s view. “I wanted to show them the pack,” I said evenly, echoing her sweetness, before letting my voice harden. “Now move aside. We’re done here.”Dahlia’s laugh rang loud echoing over the stones. “Oh, Liam. Always so serious. But be careful. Secrets have a way of coming to light. And when they do…” She tilted her head, eyes cutting back to Mira. “Not

    Liam's POVKai snarled inside me, sharp with anger. ‘We must choose our mate. We must protect her.’I looked at Mira… at the quiet fire in her eyes, at the way her hands steadied despite the storm raging inside her… and something inside me crystallized.I swallowed hard. Rage and shame twisted together in my chest. Rage at how blind I’d been to everything happening under my nose, shame at how long I had let it stand… how I had let these people I called my family strip me of my happiness, chain me to silence, mild me into their pawn.The thought of Harold complicit in all this made Kai thrash violently against my ribs, claws scraping at the inside of my chest.“This ends here,” I said. My voice was hard, echoing through the chamber. “We gather as much proof as possible. When we put this before Harold, they'll have nowhere to run.”Mira’s gaze locked on mine, unflinching. The bond pulsed hot between us, Kira rising with Kai to echo his growl. For a moment, the whole world narrowed to th

  • From Omega's Daughter To Alpha's Daughter   Didn't expect Company 119

    Mira's POVThe knock had barely finished echoing when Cael's voice carried through the wood. “Mira? Are you ready? The guards just changed shifts.”I flinched, my hand still trapped in Liam’s. He released me quickly, but the heat of his grip lingered, burning against my skin.Cael's voice came again, firmer this time. “We need to check on Nate.”I moved to the door, smoothing my cloak with trembling fingers, trying to mask what still pulsed between us. Liam didn't follow. He stood rooted to the spot, jaw tight, eyes dark. When I opened the door, Cael stood there with his lamp raised, hair a little mussed from the wind. His expression was steady… until he saw Liam inside my room.His brow arched, just enough to change the air. “Well,” he said slowly, his eyes cutting from Liam to me and back, suspicion flickering beneath his usual calm. “Didn’t expect company.”The tension thickened, filling every corner of the room. His gaze lingered on Liam a moment too long, then dropped back to me

  • From Omega's Daughter To Alpha's Daughter   I was never going to choose Silence over You 118

    Mira's POVWhen I finally slipped into my room, silence pressed heavy, but the ache inside me had dulled. I sank onto my bed, Liam’s bond still humming faintly under my skin, steady but frustrating.Cael's words lingered in my mind, soothing me. ‘If he's your mate, he will fight for you. If he doesn't, it's his loss.’Maybe tomorrow would bring war. Maybe tomorrow would bring more heartbreak.But today, I decided to hope, even if it was only for a little while. I pick at the leftover meat from my meal. I had no appetite, but I forced myself to chew. Dealing with other wolves at the dinner felt like too much work with everything going on. Me and Cael had agreed to meet at the infirmary once the last guards changed shifts. He'd wait outside, and we’d slip in together to check on Nate, careful not to draw attention.I told myself I wouldn’t sleep… not this time. Not after oversleeping once already. But as I packed my satchel with fresh herbs, my eyelids grew heavy. My hands slowed, fol
