Vanessa

A sharp crack of footsteps snapped us out of it.

I tore away from his mouth, breathing hard, lips swollen and wet with everything we shouldn’t have done.

The light of a torch spilled onto the edge of the garden path.

Shit.

I ran.

I didn’t even look at him. I turned and bolted in the opposite direction. I ducked through a side gate, cut across the yard, and didn’t stop until I slammed the door to the servant quarters behind me.

I stood in the dark. My hands trembled. My body still throbbed where he’d touched me.

What had I done?

Shame wrapped around me like cold fingers. My wolf pulsed in my chest, wild and needy and angry with me for leaving him.

I staggered into my bedroom and locked the door. On the table, still untouched, sat the small, corked bottle Olga had left me. The liquid inside was black. I’d asked her for something to help with the pull. Just something to numb the damn bond.

My fingers shook as I uncorked it.

I took only a mouthful. The right dose. Enough to dull t

    VanessaI sat in front of the broken mirror, brushing through my hair like it was a mission. Each stroke was precise. I wasn’t going to give Maya the satisfaction of finding fault again, not over something as ridiculous as hair.The stupid comments from yesterday still rang in my head. Smelling like a mutt? Filthy hair in her food? Tch. If she wanted to see how wild I could get, she should try touching me again.But I wasn’t going to let it get that far.I parted my hair down the center and began twisting the ends inward, tucking the length into itself, pinning and styling it low against my neck in a way that made it look shorter and almost forgettable. Cut it? Goddess forbid. I’d rather rip the sheets off her precious Luna bed.I stared at my reflection. The cracks in the mirror blurred the image, but I could still make out the final look. It was clean and simple. Let her say something now.A part of me whispered that maybe this was all just envy. That even if Maya was forcing herse

    AlecVanessa rushed off down the corridor. Her maddening scent lingered. Lucas was pissed.“What the hell are you doing?” he barked, marching over.His glare was sharp, but I didn't care. “Relax. It’s my house.”“Your house?” Lucas laughed bitterly. “You were kissing her out there like no one could walk by and see. Do you know what would have happened if anyone else had seen you? Maya's room is down the fucking hallway.”“I couldn’t help it,” I said flatly. “If you’ve got a problem, go argue with the moon goddess.”I didn’t wait for his reply. I turned and started walking toward the wine bar. My body was hot, my wolf kept prowling beneath my skin like it hadn’t calmed since the last time she touched me.Lucas followed me, fuming. “Alec, this won’t end well. You know that, right? People loved your father. He was respected. And you're screwing the daughter of the man who killed him.”I stopped walking and glanced at him with a smirk. “My father wasn’t the saint everyone paints him as.”

    AlecMaya's scream cracked through the hall like glass shattering.At first, I ignored it. Maya screamed often over dresses, food, and maids. I had learned not to respond. But then I heard something else.Begging.My chest tightened. I stood frozen, listening. A low whimper. Another hit. The sound of something being dragged.Vanessa.My wolf roared beneath my skin, pacing, agitated. I clenched my fists. My steps were fast, nearly thunderous, across the corridor. I reached the door, ready to kick it down, but I stopped.Breathe. Think.She’s still a servant.I couldn’t go storming in like she was mine.I opened the door.And there she was. On her knees. Hands raised in defense.Maya stood above her with a fistful of hair and a wild look in her eyes. Her hand came down again hard.I moved.My hand caught Maya’s wrist mid-air. “Enough.”Her head snapped toward me. Vanessa didn’t move. Her shoulders shook. Her braid lay limp across her back, half undone.“Let her go,” I growled, barely ho

    Vanessa The silence between us stretched too long. I remained curled on the couch, covered in Nina’s blanket, but the heat from Alec’s presence had already replaced any comfort it offered. I didn’t look at him. I didn’t have the strength.His voice broke through the quiet. “What did you take?”I stayed still. My lips pressed together.He stepped closer. “That was a deliberate attempt to poison yourself.”I blinked up at the ceiling. If I opened my mouth, I might say too much. The truth was bitter on my tongue. But my thoughts betrayed me. Why would Olga give me something that made me bleed?And then the answer sat in my chest like a stone.Because if it worked, the bond would decay without ritual. No breaking ceremony. No madness. Just slow death.He sat on the arm of the couch. His eyes scanned my face. “Are the servants getting enough to eat?”I scoffed quietly. “What do you care?”His jaw twitched. I turned to him, glaring at him.“We used to run this land. We bled for it. Now we’

    AlecI was dying inside.This forbidden bond was eating me alive from the inside out.I hadn’t rejected it. I hadn’t accepted it either. But staying in the middle wasn't safe or smart. It was a fucking lie. A coward's game. And now, after what happened in the hall, I was unraveling.The second our bodies touched, her scent hit me like a weapon. Wild and sweet. It clung to my skin and filled my lungs. The bond was devilish. My cock hardened instantly. I clenched my fists and shut my eyes, like that would stop it.It didn’t.I could smell her arousal and feel it pulsing through the bond. She begged me to step away. Because my fiancée was behind that door.But I couldn’t.I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted anything in my life.When she used her Alpha aura on me, it startled me back to myself. She ran. I didn’t chase her. I stood there, half-crazed, rock hard, and burning.I had tried to fix it the only way I knew. I summoned one of the courtesans. She had Vanessa's hair color. I tho

    VanessaA sharp crack of footsteps from the garden path snapped us out of the kiss. The yellow light of a torch spilled onto the edge of the path, casting long shadows.Shit. A patrol.I tore away from Alec’s mouth, breathing hard. I ran without looking back. I bolted in the opposite direction, towards the servant’s side of the estate, and ducked through a side gate in the hedge, cutting across the dark yard. I didn’t stop until I slammed the door to the servant quarters behind me.Standing in the darkness, with my back pressed against the door, my chest heaved and my hands trembled. My body throbbed where Alec had kissed and touched me.What the hell had I done?Shame wrapped around me. My wolf, Ellie, couldn’t relate. She was wild, needy, and angry with me for running away from our mate.I staggered down the hallway and into my bedroom. I locked the door; the click of the latch was loud in the silence. On the table sat the bottle Olga had left for me. The liquid inside was thick and
