Kate’s P.O.V.

On our way back, Kayla was the prime topic of our discussion.

The moment her name left Lauren’s lips, something in the air shifted.

“She is the pack’s Gamma’s daughter.”

Lauren said softly as we walked back from the market, her tone almost reverent.

“Miss Kayla is… perfect.”

I glanced sideways at her.

“Perfect. How?”

Lauren blinked as if the answer was obvious. “She is the best cook in the entire pack.

She wins every seasonal competition. Her floral arrangements are o

    Kate’s P.O.V.For a second, thick silence hung in the air, making my heart beat even faster.Then Osiris moved, his lips curling slowly.“Well,” he muttered, amusement lacing his voice, “that makes perfect sense.”Before I could react, his arm slipped around my waist, pulling me closer with a jerk.My breath hitched. I stayed composed… barely.“So,” I said, forcing my tone to remain calm despite the sparks shooting down my core, “why did you decide to randomly appear in your wolf form? Don’t you have work?”“I do,” he replied calmly.My eyes narrowed. “And?”“I postponed it.” Osiris said causally.Postponed?That word didn’t belong in Osiris’s vocabulary!In my experience, this man would only leave work if the world was ending.Or close to it.“Are you feeling alright?” I asked immediately, leaning back just enough to study his face. “Did something happen?”Osiris’s gaze softened a bit.“You came to see me yesterday. And I didn’t make time.”His thumb brushed against my side. “Today

    Kate’s P.O.V. Gina’s words stayed with me long after she left. It was so strange! How could a single conversation tilt your whole perspective? According to Gina, every relationship had rules, patterns, and rhythm. And if you learned that rhythm, things would flow smoothly. However, I wasn’t completely convinced! Some of her ‘methods’ sounded a little too strategic for my liking. But still, I couldn’t deny one thing: I was in an unfamiliar territory. And desperate times required some... flexibility. A soft sigh left my lips as I pushed myself off the bed. “Focus, Kate. Dinner first. Tricks later.” Tying my hair in a loose knot, I headed toward the kitchen to check the preparations. But the moment I stepped inside, only silence greeted me. That place was empty! My brows knotted together. “That’s odd.” I had clearly instructed the staff, so where was everyone? Utterly perplexed, I turned on my heels and stepped back into the corridor. Two maids were sweeping the f

    Osiris’s P.O.V. The numbers refused to make sense. I stared at the file spread open on the wooden table before me, the inked fingers blurring together like meaningless scratches. A breeze moved through the training ground, cool and steady, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. It should have helped! That was why I chose to work here during my free time. Yet, my focus kept slipping... I exhaled sharply and flipped a page, forcing my eyes over the lines until a breathless voice cut through my thoughts. “Round number twenty-four, Alpha.” I lifted my head, irritation snapping into place instantly. “I am counting, Taylor. It’s your thirteenth round. Keep moving.” Taylor huffed as he jogged past me, sweat dropping down his temple. “It’s been three days, Osiris. Why can’t you just let it go? I am your friend.” “You are my Beta!” My voice was cold as I corrected him. “This punishment is for your mistake. Emotional blackmailing won’t reduce your laps.” He groaned dramatica

    Kate’s P.O.V. Well, a lot of things were still waiting for me after dinner! The moment Lauren gave me a list of responsibilities long enough to ruin my sanity, a realization hit me hard. “I will not get a chance to sleep tonight.” So, I stayed up, planning breakfast, arranging schedules, and most importantly, searching for the new staff as the old one had their loyalty pledged to Kayla. The challenge behind these difficulties motivated me to push harder, just like my mean attending was the reason I learned quickly to deal with the patients. To handle this servants’ crisis, I contacted the elders of the omega community. Lauren said dubiously as she stood beside me. “Luna, are you sure about this?” I gazed at the elders’ experienced faces and replied calmly. “Yeah, I am sure, Lauren. I need reliable people who can stay by my side.” One of the elders leaned closer to the screen. “You want young omegas?” “But they won’t be as efficient as wolves.” Another added bluntly. “T

    Kate’s P.O.V. I gathered some books about Osiris’s pack traditions from the library and spent the rest of the day studying them. Even a line felt like a rule, a boundary that was non-negotiable. I turned the pages slowly, a headache blooming behind my eyes. “This is… insane.” In my previous pack, things had never been this complicated. I had tackled the responsibilities of Luna before—organizing meetings and events, helping my pack members, balancing everything with my studies and job. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t… this.This felt like stepping into an entirely different world where even breathing had a protocol. Rubbing my temple, I stared at the open book in my lap. “Forget it. I will need a lifetime to learn it.” The door was knocked before I could sink deeper into frustration. Lauren stepped inside, her expressions carrying a hint of urgency. “Luna,” she said, lowering her head. “There’s only one hour left before dinner.” I raised my head. “Okay…?” She hesitated. “An

    Kate’s P.O.V. My heart stuttered like it forgot how to breathe properly. Luna Kate Kessler!That name kicked out everything else from my mind, wrapping something soft and dangerous around me. Warmth spread through my chest before I could stop it. And I hated that! No matter how angry I was a few minutes ago, that one line… It weakened me. Osiris didn’t look away. His hand was still firm in my waist, his presence overwhelming. “I had spent two months alone after marking you,” he continued, his voice low but steady. “This whole pack is mine. I was surrounded by temptations. But…” His eyes locked onto mine. “But I didn’t touch anyone, Kate.” My breath hitched. “Why would I do it now,” he added, his thumb brushing against my waist, “when I have you, Kate?” My grip on his collar loosened a little, the anger, and fear edged inside me softening. There was no hesitation in his voice, only certainty. And for the first time since morning, I felt a strange, undeniable attract
