Marissa

I woke up with a chill crawling down my spine. Not the kind a blanket could fix, but one that seeped into my bones like a warning that things were going to get worse.

Maybe I needed divine intervention. A fortune teller, someone with a crystal ball who could map out the disaster of my life, point at the ruins, and say: Here. Here’s how you fix it.

I expected I’d spend the whole night tossing and turning, replaying that humiliating conversation with Justine. But I must have passed out somewhere between crying and hating myself, because the alarm’s beep at 6:30 actually startled me awake.

I blinked at my phone. Ten missed calls from Justin, all during work hours. Three from Brian. One message from Hector asking if I was okay.

Nothing from Justine.

The emptiness of that silence cut deeper than the calls ever could.

Had she already told him?

Maybe. Maybe not. But it didn’t matter. Today, I was going to tell Justin myself. He had confessed far worse to me: his father’s second famil

    MarissaThat familiar pull tightened sharply in my chest the moment Justin stepped closer. A sensation burned low, curling inside me and demanding recognition.The bond always revealed itself, no matter how much I tried to suppress it.It was maddening.It pressed against my senses. The air grew heavier and pressed against my skin.Every cell in my body reacted to his presence.I hated how easily he could command my attention without even trying.Every damn time.I fixed my eyes on the screen. But my body reacted before my mind could stop it. My pulse spiked when he stood beside me, and my skin tingled with the usual spark. Don’t look at him. Don’t give him the satisfaction.But he was looking at me.And against my better judgment, I looked back.Our eyes met.It wasn’t anything dramatic. Just a simple glance.Yet, in that second, something shifted.His gaze was unreadable as if he were searching for something in me. There was no smirk or cold indifference—just him watching me.And

    FLASHBACK Norma“Go to Alaric’s family house. We’ll get the pieces of information we need,” Mother said, folding a pile of laundry neatly on the chair by my bed. Her voice was firm, but I heard the thrill beneath it.I groaned and rolled to face the wall. It had been three days since the wedding. My room still reeked of unwashed clothes and stale wine, proof I'd been sulking here for days while the world moved on without me.“What’s the point?” I muttered into the pillow.Mother’s shadow fell over me. “Gwen is on our side,” she said sharply. “She knows her son doesn’t love that spoiled brat. She’ll talk, and when she does, you need to be there to listen.”I rolled over, scowling.“Why would Gwen or her daughters risk anything for me now? They’ll move on, just like he did.”Mother didn’t flinch. “Everyone has motives, including Alaric and his family. You just have to know which ones to play. Now get up.”When I still didn’t move, she ripped the quilt off my body.“Fine!” I snapped,

    FLASHBACK Norma’s POVThe hall was alive with laughter, cheers, and music, and I hated every sound of it.The sunrise of happiness over my packmates only deepened my bitterness.Servants rushed around carrying endless trays of food and wine. Everyone was dressed in vibrant fabrics. The hall glittered like a jewel box, but to me, it reeked of betrayal.Alaric stood at the center of it all.My Alaric.Now he was dancing with his bride, Queen Mallory.Or, as I preferred to call her, the spoiled bitch Mallory.I clenched my fists so hard my nails bit into my palms, grounding myself before I lost control right there in front of everyone.One wrong move and my rage would explode, splattering across this perfect little party.Alaric twirled Mallory gracefully, his hand firm at her waist. His mother, Gwen, and his triplet sisters—Bella, Brielle, and Blair—stood nearby, smiling openly with no hint of discomfort.Their bright smiles mocked me. Hadn't they always sworn I was family too?The wh

    FLASHBACK “You look like a widow, my friend,” Kira said softly. She was my confidant and one of my ladies-in-waiting, She lay my wedding veil across the back of my chair. “You don’t have to marry him if you don’t want to.”Hearing the word marry was like swallowing glass, each syllable tearing me open.“I’m fine.”The lie tasted like stale wine.Kira turned and sat beside me, lacing her fingers through mine. “Don’t do it if it’s tearing you apart like this.”Her grip tightened, as if she could physically keep me from walking into disaster.“Alaric may be handsome, rich, and powerful,” she continued, “but none of that matters if he isn’t who you want.”“I don’t have a choice,” I said, jerking my hand free and standing so fast my chair scraped the floor. “If the cage is glided, that just means the bars are stronger.”Kira flinched, but didn't back down. Sympathy and irritation flashed in her eyes.She leaned closer, lowering her voice to a whisper even though we were alone. The palace

    FLASHBACK “I suppose it’s time to face the vultures,” I said quietly, staring at my reflection as Alexander zipped my dress. My fingers fussed with my hair, forcing each rebellious strand into place until my hands stopped shaking.“You know I’ll always be by your side, my love,” Alexander said softly, his breath close to my ear.A weak smile tugged at my lips. “I know.”The marriage ahead loomed between us like a wall neither of us knew how to climb.“Don’t let him touch you,” he said firmly, as if reading my mind.The words sliced through the air. I looked away instead of letting him see how his words gutted me.“It isn’t simple,” I said.Alexander’s eyes shut tight, then snapped open again, furious.“I can’t stand the thought of him touching you. Do you realize what it would do to me? To be awake, knowing he’s touching you, while I’m left here powerless? I would lose my mind.”My muscles went rigid.If I let Alaric touch me and failed to conceive right away, we would have to keep
