LOGIN"Theodore, take me to the healer…"At my words, Theodore pulled me into his arms and shouted orders to his guards. "Get her to the healer immediately!"At the royal healing chambers, I was placed on a bed for a complete examination, yet my mind wouldn't stop racing. The thought that I might be carrying a child from Owen filled me with dread, and every tick of the clock felt like agony.Finally, the healer carefully put away the instruments and bowed deeply to Theodore. "Prince Theodore, she's not pregnant. The vomiting is caused by prolonged stress and lack of food."Relief flooded through me, and I melted into Theodore's arms. "Thank goodness," I murmured, letting tears streak down my face.Theodore lowered his head and brushed them away with a gentle kiss. "It's going to be alright, Aurora. But now, we have far more pressing matters to deal with."The following day, Owen was dragged to the execution grounds. The once-proud Alpha's downfall was broadcast live across dozens of ca
The bedroom air was heavy and suffocating. I curled up on the icy floor, and every breath I took sent sharp pain shooting through my body. For three days, Owen had appeared without fail, inventing new ways to make me suffer.He tossed the whip aside and perched on the edge of the bed, lighting a cigarette. Smoke swirled around him as he fixed me with a gaze as predatory as a vulture's."Aurora, do you know something?" he asked, exhaling a plume of smoke. "I'm bored with you."My chest tightened, and I bit down hard on my already bleeding lip."You look half-dead—there's just nothing fun in it." He stood and pressed the glowing cigarette tip against the wound on my shoulder. "It's time for a slut like you to fulfill your final purpose."He lifted his phone and joined a group video call, aiming the camera at me. "See this, guys? I'll open the door in 15 minutes. Whoever gets here first gets the first taste."Cruel laughter, cheers, and hurried footsteps erupted from the other e
Owen's twisted face gradually blurred in my vision. Around me, laughter and exclamations rang out. The onlookers didn't care about the truth—they only wanted to watch the genius fall."Let her go! You monster!" Sophia screamed as she rushed forward, but Jason shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the ground.Owen finally released me, and I collapsed in a heap."You've got half an hour to pack your things," he said, towering over me. He ripped a photo from the bulletin board, balled it up, and tossed it in my face. "Meet me at the school gates at 5:00 pm. If you don't show, you'll regret it."They left, laughing with satisfaction, and Sophia rushed over to hold me. I don't even remember making it back to the dorm. Sophia stayed with me, constantly wiping my tears and assuring me that everything would be okay, yet Theodore's golden eyes and heated presence refused to leave my mind.Their laughter faded behind me as Sophia rushed to wrap me in her arms. I didn't even remember
Life after enrolling in the academy was even better than I had imagined. As the first Omega in the sculpture department to receive a full scholarship without a wolf, everyone was captivated by my work and paid no attention to my status.I even made my first real friend, Sophia Highmore. She was a student in the painting department who loved dragging me along to snag the limited blueberry pies in the cafeteria.Sometimes, in the stillness of the night, I would think of Theodore—his golden eyes, the heat of his breath against me. The affairs of the Northstone pack were complicated, and I didn't dare reach out to him. Still, I trusted he would honor his promise and come for me. However, I never imagined that my nightmare would begin before he even appeared.That morning, Sophia and I had barely set foot on campus when I immediately sensed a strange, hostile energy in the air.Every wolf we passed no longer looked at me with admiration or friendliness. Instead, their gazes dripped
I raced through the forest, cursing myself for not being able to shift into a wolf. At the crossroads, a sleek black limousine came into view.The door opened on its own, and I scrambled into the back seat, trying to calm my racing heart as I told the driver to start moving. When I glanced to my side, my breath caught—a male wolf was sitting there, looking almost casual.He wore a long robe that covered half of his face and held a glass of champagne, as if lost in thought."You're a new student at the Royal Academy too?" I asked without thinking.He turned to look at me, and I met his golden eyes. A jolt ran through me, like electricity exploding in my brain. He halted mid-motion and suddenly drew me close into his embrace."You're mine," he said, radiating the power of a royalty.The space between us seemed to vanish. I could feel his breath searing against my skin, and for a heartbeat, it seemed as if our lips would meet."Aurora! Come out this instant!" Owen bellowed.His cr
The day of the bonding ceremony had finally arrived. I sat quietly in a corner, watching Owen's circle of friends drift past. I followed them cautiously."Do you think Owen will stick to the plan today?""Of course," Beta Jason said, swirling his champagne with a wicked grin. "When she thinks she's finally on top, we'll crush her in front of everyone. I can't wait to see Aurora break.""We'll make sure to have our fun with her too. I've wanted her for so long…"I stayed hidden in the shadows, listening to their casual cruelty, yet I felt nothing. They had laughed all they wanted, while they still could.I tried to leave, and Owen suddenly pulled me into a shadowed corner. "Aurora, are you ready?" He pressed me to the wall and kissed me fiercely. "Don't act until I say 'I do,' then step forward and announce yourself before Julia can."I hesitated. "But—" "No buts," he cut me off impatiently. "Aurora, don't you want to be my Luna? Be obedient. At the climax of the ceremony, w
