Riven’s smile remained on his face. “I want to take you out.”

“Are you trying to steal Jax’s strategy now?”

His lips curved into an unbothered smirk. “I don’t need to steal anything,” he said. “You already know where your heart belongs.”

I rolled my eyes, pretending his words didn’t land.

The place he took me to wasn’t anything fancy. It was a quiet corner restaurant at the edge of town. My stomach growled at the scent of spiced lamb before I could stop it.

I sat down across from him, still suspicious. “If this is some sort of apology, I should warn you—I don’t accept meat bribes.”

He laughed warmly. “Good thing this isn’t one. I just thought you might enjoy a meal without anyone watching you like you’re prey.”

“That’s rich, coming from you.”

He ignored the jab, signaling the waiter. “Relax, Lira. Neither Jax nor Kain come here. I made sure of it.”

That should’ve comforted me, but it didn’t. My chest felt strange, tight. “Are you sure about that?”

“Positive,” he said. “This is n

    ZuriThe music at the masquerade ball had shifted into something slow and haunting by the time Lira came out from one of the inner halls, walking beside Kain.Even from a distance, I could sense her nerves. Kain tried to take her hand, but she pulled away. Everyone else probably thought it was nothing. I knew better.When Kain's hand brushed her lower back, I could feel bile rise in my throat. As much as I hated it, if I were in her place, I would have flaunted that bond to the world.Why hide what was supposed to be divine?Unless it wasn’t real.Unless she was faking it.Then Jax appeared. He came up behind her with a small dish, holding something to her lips. She hesitated, then opened her mouth. He fed her. When he stepped aside, Riven passed by and his hand brushed her hip.Selena let out a low whistle. “What’s this? A family hobby? Are they running a train on her now?”Astoria laughed quietly. “Triplet fetish, maybe?”My jaw tightened. “It’s not a fetish,” I said before I could

    LiraI slid to the floor, my back hitting the door I’d just slammed hard enough to rattle the walls.“You’re enjoying this.”Jax’s voice kept echoing, burning hotter than the fire in my chest. He wasn’t wrong. That was the worst part. Somewhere between surviving and pretending, I’d grown too comfortable. I’d stopped fighting the madness and let it swallow me whole.Tears burned down my face as I pressed my palms over it and let out a shaky breath. I hated myself for crying, for wanting them like an addiction.After what Jax said, I couldn’t go to Kain. The thought of letting any of them touch me tonight made my skin crawl.Kain’s voice came with the knock. “Lira, are you all right?”His fading footsteps filled the silence I’d made by not answering. I couldn’t trust what would come out of my mouth, so I stayed still and let him walk away after several attempts to talk to me.My mark stared back at me from the mirror, faint in the low light, almost harmless. I wiped my eyes and stood, t

    LiraThe next few days passed quietly. The Alphas were buried in preparations for the ball; I stayed in my room.Angie’s laughter drifted down the corridor once in a while, followed by the sound of her feet pattering away. But when I caught a glimpse of her, her skin still had the rashes from the allergy.I didn’t trust Zuri, not after what happened with the doll. And I couldn’t shake the thought that she might be feeding the child something to make her worse, to make me look like a curse in this house. The idea made my skin crawl.I told Tova what I’d noticed.Her brows pinched together. “Lira, I know Zuri’s not a monster, but she wouldn’t harm her own niece.”“She already used her once,” I said. “What’s to stop her from doing it again?”Tova sighed, wiping her hands on her apron. “You’re thinking too much. Besides, Angie’s grandmother, Ophelia, will be here soon. Maybe that’ll keep Zuri occupied.”My chest tightened. “You knew her?”Tova hesitated, then shrugged. “Not well. She’s… o

    RivenChills crawled down my spine as Athena called Lira unfit to be Luna. I couldn’t meet her eyes, afraid my thoughts would betray me. Afraid the dread meant I’d imagined Lira surviving the world outside.I stayed silent, hating the unfairness of this bond, fearing others would see her as less. I pictured the world tearing her apart, judging her, delighting in her pain beyond the alpha house walls. They would consume her. I saw it in my head—the full moon feast, packmates raising cups to the new Luna, someone announcing she had no wolf.Jax cupped her chin. “Look at me.”She kept her eyes down. Her lips trembled.“I swear on everything I hold dear I’ll protect you and carry every scar meant for you. Choose me and I won’t let a hand reach you.”“Back off with your empty promise,” Kain snarled.“My Lords. Enough. Let’s take it back a notch,” Athena said. “All I’m concerned about is keeping blood off the ground.”Her eyes moved among the three of us. “You know our people, how violent t
