NORA

Everything hurt in ways I never knew were possible.

My head felt like someone had split it open with an axe, then filled the cracks with molten lead. Each throb sent waves of nausea rolling through me, making the room spin even with my eyes closed. My limbs had turned to concrete—impossibly heavy, foreign things that no longer seemed to belong to me. Even the simple act of breathing had become a monumental effort. Every shallow inhale felt like I was drowning in thick honey, and each exhale escaped my lips with a soft whimper of pain I couldn't suppress.

My skin was on fire and freezing at the same time. Sweat soaked through my nightgown, plastering the fabric to my clammy flesh, but I couldn't stop shivering. The sheets beneath me were damp and twisted from my restless turning, and every small movement sent lightning bolts of agony shooting through my body.

This wasn't just being sick. This was my body systematically shutting down, piec

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Nora's Health Improves

    NORA’s POV.The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the absence of pain.Not a complete absence.There was still a dull ache in my bones and a lingering heaviness in my chest, but for the first time in what felt like an eternity, breathing didn't feel like drowning. My lungs expanded fully without that sharp, stabbing sensation that had made every breath a conscious battle for survival.Sunlight streamed through the small window of the healer's hut, painting golden rectangles across the floor. The warm light felt like a blessing against my skin, so different from the cold, oppressive darkness that had seemed to surround me during the worst of the poisoning. I could actually feel the warmth now, could appreciate its gentle touch instead of being consumed by the fire burning through my veins.The healer's potions were working. I could taste the bitter herbs still lingering on my tongue from the latest dose, but I no longer fought

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    The Hidden Truth

    CARLOS POV I should have known it wasn't over. In my years as Alpha, I'd learned that the obvious answer was rarely the complete one, but somehow I'd let myself believe that finding Darian would be enough. That his confession would tie everything up in a neat, horrifying package and give me a clear path forward.I was wrong.The more I dug into his story, the more the foundation crumbled beneath my feet. What I'd thought was solid ground turned out to be quicksand, and I was sinking fast.Darian hadn't acted alone. That realization hit me like a sledgehammer to the chest, stealing my breath and leaving me reeling in the dim light of the interrogation room.I'd been questioning him for hours, pushing harder than I probably should have, but desperation had a way of eroding patience. Nora was dying upstairs, and every minute I spent down here was another minute closer to losing everything that mattered. Finally, under the relentless pr

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    A Shocking Connection

    NORAThe wooden floorboards creaked beneath my boots as I paced the narrow hallway outside the healer's hut. Back and forth, back and forth—like a caged wolf desperate for release. My mind wouldn't stop churning, wouldn't let me rest for even a moment. The ancient journal I'd discovered in that godforsaken dungeon had done more than just provide clues about the antidote we so desperately needed. It had ripped open old wounds I thought had healed. Elena.I pressed my palm against the cool wall, trying to center myself. The memories came flooding back anyway—her voice echoing through the pack house, always so sure of herself, so convinced she knew what was best for everyone. I remembered the day I'd ordered her locked away, the way her eyes had burned with hatred and something else. Something that looked almost like pity."You'll understand someday, Carlos," she'd whispered as the guards dragged her toward the dungeons. "When love isn't enough

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Nora's Memories

    Nora's POVI was dying.The thought hit me as I stared blanklyat the ceiling. My hands shook as I gripped the sheets, and every breath felt like I was drowning from the inside.But that wasn't the worst part.The worst part was the silence.My hand slid over my belly, pressing gently where I should have felt movement. "Come on, baby," I whispered. "Just one kick. Please."Nothing.The stillness was so complete it made my chest tight with panic. I pressed harder, willing our child to respond, to give me any sign that they were still fighting."Please don't leave me," I breathed.The room spun when I tried to sit up. Sweat beaded on my forehead despite the chill that settled into my bones. I felt like I was coming apart, piece by piece.Think, Nora. What did you miss?Carlos kept asking me to remember, to dig deeper into the days before I collapsed. At first, I remembered nothing. J

  • Nora: Rejected Lost Princess    Questioning the Pack

    Carlos' POVI couldn't stand still.My boots wore a path in the dirt as I paced the training grounds, watching my pack go about their morning routines. Sparring. Laughing. Acting like nothing was wrong.But everything was wrong.Someone there had tried to kill my mate. Someone I had shared meals with, trusted with my life, called family. The thought made my wolf snarl beneath my skin."Alpha?"I turned. One of the guards, approached with a tablet in his hands. "The list you requested."Every pack member who had had access to the main house in the past week. Every wolf who had worked in the kitchens, cleaned the halls, delivered supplies. A handful names.Too many."Set up interviews in the council hall," I told him. "One by one. No exceptions.""All of them?""Every. Single. One."Marcus nodded and walked away. I could feel the pack's eyes on me, sensed their confusion an
