SELENE POV

"Are you going to keep staring at the floorboards, or are you going to tell me what you want, Lucian?" I demand, my fingers tightly gripping my knees to hide the reckless trembling of my hands.

The air inside the dark carriage is heavy with a suffocating chill. I sit perfectly straight, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped beast. My inner wolf whines in distress, terrified that he will find another royal excuse to drag me back to the Lycan Moonkeep. I know how the high l

    Crash!The ceramic tea cup smashed against the hardwood floorboards, boiling water splashing directly across my sensitive skin."Matriarch, what is the meaning of this?" I gasped, wincing as Lucian swept me up into his arms and ripped off my ruined footwear to inspect my scorched ankles."Fetch the healing salve immediately," Lucian commanded, his voice vibrating with a lethal, alpha-dominance growl that made the remaining attendants tremble.The head steward didn't dare waste a second, sprinting toward the apothecary stores.Amelia Lycan’s chest heaved with fury as the high-born she-wolves quietly gathered their cloaks and scurried out the front doors to escape the suffocating tension."Look at the way your little stray talks back to me!" Amelia shrieked, pointing a trembling finger at my face while Lucian smoothed soothing balm over my burns. "She has zero pack etiquette!""She only speaks the truth when your guests cross the line," Lucian replied coldly, ignoring her outrage as he

    "What do you think you are doing?" I snarled, wrenching my arm out of Raze Blackclaw’s grip. "Why didn't you stop the Supreme Alpha King from rewriting the entire expansion plan just to chase after some tailor?"The moment I stormed out of the war council chambers, my chest burned with a toxic, clawing rage.Lucian was never a monarch to bend his kingdom's trajectory for a female.He had done it entirely for Selene Corvinus.Raze let out a heavy sigh, his golden eyes dull with exhaustion. "If you already know the answer, Tanis, stop fighting it. Nobody commands the crown when the King's wolf takes the wheel."Without waiting for my reply, he turned on his heel and strode down the obsidian corridor to draft the new architectural manifests.I stood frozen in the dim hallway, my fingernails digging deep into my palms until blood welled against my skin.He really threw away months of strategic planning just for her.That evening, I fled the citadel and slipped into the dim, smoke-filled b

    "What are you even trying to prove here?" I sneered, glaring at Freya as she crossed her arms by the velvet display counter. "If you think you can manage this branch better, stop whining and show me your technique."Janet let out a harsh laugh, her gaze dripping with pure malice. "Ms. Corvinus, any apprentice from the guild can talk a big game on parchment. Let’s see if you actually have the sales instincts to back it up."I dropped my leather stylus onto the oak desk without breaking eye contact. "Fine. Watch and learn."Right on cue, a sharp-scented female noble swept past the glass doors, her expensive silk robes rustling as she scanned the racks with undisguised boredom.I smoothed down my tunic and strode forward, my voice honeyed and calm. "Welcome to the Mooncrest boutique, Lady Jenny. Please, let me help you find your season's shift."Janet and Penny hovered near the cash ledger, whispering among themselves while waiting for me to crash and burn."I'm just browsing," Jenny mut

    "You haven't even touched your supper," I muttered, crossing my arms as Lucian kept reading through the dominion boundary reports in the dim light of the Alpha Throne Chamber."I've been busy keeping your pack from tearing you apart," he replied without looking up, his deep voice carrying that heavy, demanding edge that always made my core clench."Then I'll handle things tomorrow, but right now you need to eat," I said, setting the tray of fresh venison down right over his parchment."Feed me yourself, little wolf," he growled, finally lifting his golden gaze to meet mine with a dark, hungry intensity.The door creaked open before I could answer, and Tanis Moonshade stepped inside, clutching a stack of freshly sorted financial manifests. "Alpha King, the quarterly revenue for the southern territory is twenty percent higher than—"Before she could finish, Raze Blackclaw grabbed her shoulder and jerked her backward. "Tanis, do not walk in uninvited when the Alpha is busy."Tanis flushe

    "How long are we supposed to stand here and wait for her?" I muttered, pacing the length of the Moon Eclipse Lodge Chamber while adjusting the silver clasp of my ceremonial fur."Calm your inner wolf, Selene, she is just putting the final touches on the hem," Tanis Moonshade murmured, her fingers deftly smoothing down the intricate beadwork of my bodice."If she messes up this mating ritual gown, I'll have her stripped of her rank and banished to the Shadowfang Wastelands," I sneered, baring my teeth as my reflection glared back at me in the glass.The door clicked open, and Coco swept into the room, her high-waisted gown of pale organza and pink tulle billowing like mist around her ankles, each butterfly motif shimmering under the dim torchlight."You look breathtaking, Coco," I breathed, stepping back to admire my handiwork."Every Alpha in the Grand Wolf Assembly is going to scent the air the moment you step into the Alpha Moon Celebration Hall," Tanis added with an approving nod,

    "Did you really have to scream so loud?" I spat, throwing the broken scrying glass against the stone floor as the project monitor hissed to static."I didn't mean to, Lady Seline! I only handed the memory-crystal to the apprentice editor!" Iris sobbed, covering her face as the residual magic sparked around her feet."Then how did the true memory-stream reach the Alpha Council Lords? This is an absolute disaster!" I paced the length of the chamber, my claws digging into my palms as the reality of my ruined reputation set in.I had paid a high-ranking illusionist to craft a flawless duplicate of that confrontation, certain that no ordinary wolf could ever trace the alterations."Wipe every public board clean, issue an apology, and find a dark-weaver to fabricate a counter-statement claiming Selene orchestrated the animal attack herself!" I snarled, dropping back into my velvet chair with a frustrated hiss. "I cannot lose the patronage of the Elder Matrons; my status depends entirely on
