The palace gates were tall and golden, guarded by two men in uniform who didn’t even spare me a glance as the car pulled in. My hands felt cold, and my heart was pounding in my chest. What was I doing here?

Travis helped me take out my small bag from the back seat.

“Are you sure you're okay to resume work today, Liora?” he asked, concern in his voice.

I gave him a small smile. “Yeah… thanks for the ride.”

He nodded, still unsure, but didn’t push. Sienna waved at me from the window, and then they were gone.

I turned to face the massive doors ahead of me.

This was it.

Inside, the palace was even more intimidating. Polished marble floors, tall crystal chandeliers, and walls decorated with old royal paintings. It smelled of fresh flowers and something expensive.

I barely had time to look around when a sharp voice cut through the air.

“You must be Liora, we've met before.”

I turned to see the clipboard woman I met the first time I came to the palace. Her eyes were cold, calc

    The next morning, when I woke up, Xavier was already outside on the training grounds. The sun shone on his bare chest, making his skin glow bronze as he stretched, every muscle moving with sharp control. He looked like he was made for battle, strong, and focused.I stopped in the doorway, my heart beating faster just watching him.“You’re awake,” he said without looking, as if he had felt me the moment I stepped out. “Good. Today I will teach you to fight.”My throat went dry. “I don’t know anything about fighting,” I admitted, my voice small.“You will.” He tossed me a wooden staff. I almost dropped it, the weight awkward in my hands. He lifted his own with ease, steady and sure. “Show me what you can do.”A nervous laugh escaped me. “I’ll just embarrass myself.”His mouth curved in a faint smirk. “You won’t. There’s more in you than you think. Trust me.”Something in his voice pushed me forward. I swung clumsily at him. He blocked with barely a flick of his wrist.“Again,” he ordere

    Throughout the day, Elliot kept calling over and over with different numbers. At first, I ignored him, but the ringing never stopped. It wore me down until finally, exhausted and irritated, I picked up. “Elliot, stop calling me!” I snapped. His voice came low and sharp through the line. “Liora, what do you want from me? You want me to beg? You think I’ll crawl after you?” He gave a bitter laugh. “No. I won’t beg anymore. After all, you owe me, and unless you’re ready to pay back, you’ll drag your ass back here.” His threat made my chest burn with rage. “Maybe I’ll tell my new man to pay you back so you can leave me the hell alone.” Silence. Then his voice darkened, dangerous. “Your new man?” he hissed. “Liora, don’t piss me off. You wouldn’t dare leave me for another man. He is not your mate. I am.” I clenched the phone. My heart screamed no, but the words slipped out anyway, bitter and reckless. “What if I reject you?” The silence on the line stretched, suffocating. Then

    When I finally stumbled back to my room, my hands were still shaking. Only when the door closed behind me did the full weight of what I had done hit me.I bit him.My stomach twisted. Elliot would be furious. Maybe worse. He could punish me for challenging his dominance. He could destroy me.I pulled out my phone with trembling fingers and scrolled to Sienna’s name. But I remembered that she was still on her honeymoon, halfway across the world. She couldn’t help me.Desperation made my chest feel tight. Then I remembered Xavier’s words from weeks ago: "Call me if you ever need anything."With a shaking breath, I dialed his number.He picked up on the second ring. His voice sounded tired, “Liora?”“It’s me,” I whispered. “Can you… can you come get me?”For a heartbeat, I expected him to say no, to tell me he was busy or asleep. Instead, his voice changed, like he was suddenly alert, like my words had jolted him awake.“I’ll be there right away.”The call ended. I stood in the silence,

    For a long, heavy moment, Elliot just stared at me. His eyes were dark and unreadable, his chest rising and falling with a controlled rhythm. Then, as if waking from a spell, he stood abruptly.I sat frozen, the sudden chill in the room wrapping around me like chains.He dressed quickly, each movement was sharp and deliberate, like he couldn’t stand being near me a second longer. The warmth that had been in his eyes moments ago was gone, snuffed out as though it had never existed. In its place was the cold, distant Elliot who had once looked down on me like I was dirt beneath his boots.“I think you’ve forgotten your place Liora, you're getting carried away," he said finally, his voice flat, hard as stone.My throat tightened. “What do you mean?”“I’m not in love with you,” he said, buttoning his shirt without looking at me. “I don’t want your heart. I just need you for sex. Sometimes a man will do anything to get what he wants.”The words struck like claws to my chest. “Elliot…”“I'v

    That evening, I sat on my narrow bed, staring at Elliot’s message again and again. "I won’t be able to see you tonight. Ariana is sleeping in my room." My chest tightened. No. Not tonight. Ariana would use that potion on him, trap him, bend his will using magic potions, and if she did, he would be lost to her forever. My hands covered my face. I couldn’t fight her openly. Not yet. But maybe… maybe I could stop him from letting her near him tonight. I bit my lip until it hurt as I unlocked my phone. I had the room to myself tonight because Nina had to go visit her family. My heart raced as I leaned back on the pillows, lifting my phone’s camera. My hair fell loose over one shoulder, my dress slipping low enough to show a hint of my collarbone, and cleavage. My cheeks burned as I snapped the picture. "Do you really want her in your room tonight, I typed slowly, when you could have me instead?" I stared at the words, then pressed send. Thinking of Ariana with that potion made

    That night, I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alpha Callan’s face, his gentle smile, his voice heavy with regret. A part of me felt happy knowing my father was a kind man, but at the same time, fear and worry twisted in my chest. Luna Sabrina and Ariana. Their voices still echoed in my head. What were they planning? And what if their plan was to hurt Elliot? He wasn’t always good to me, but even so, I didn’t want to see him harmed. Not like this. I had to find out the truth. I had to know what they were plotting. But until I was sure I was safe, I couldn’t reveal who I really was. When the first light of dawn came, I was already awake. Outside, the courtyard was alive with movement. Alpha Callan, Luna Sabrina, and their guards were getting ready to leave. I slipped out quietly, needing to see my father one more time before he was gone. I stood behind Ariana, Alpha Callan’s eyes found me. He gave me a small nod and a warm smile. I smiled back, and something soft
