The Alpha's Broken Pet Twenty-Six
VanessaThe basket was light in my hands, but my thoughts felt like boulders stacked on my chest. I kept my pace steady, heading to the garden and fixing my eyes on the trail of petals scattered from the night’s wind. Maya wanted fresh apples, and I needed an excuse to stay out of sight.Isabella's words echoed in my skull. It made no sense that Nina was trying to help me. Why would she help me if she once had Alec? What woman reaches out to the girl bonded to the man she once loved?Maybe Olga was right. Maybe kindness was just manipulation wrapped in softer packaging. Nina could be helping me to soothe guilt. Or maybe she pitied me. Maybe she just wanted to get close enough to watch me fall.My chest tightened.Jealousy tasted bitter. It clung to the back of my tongue, refusing to be swallowed. I didn’t want to feel anything for Alec, let alone this fire in my stomach every time I pictured him with someone else. Especially Nina.They were werewolves, not priests. Sex was nothing her

VanessaMorning crawled in slowly, dragging the weight of my thoughts behind it. I didn’t want to think about anything. I wanted my mind free from worries. So I resumed my morning duty, dusting and folding.Somewhere below, a grunt echoed through the air. Then a laugh followed by the clatter of bodies hitting sand. The sounds came in intervals. My curiosity edged forward.I set the cloth aside and walked to the nearest window. The courtyard was alive. Three males sparred shirtless under the rising sun, blades in hand and adrenaline thick in the air. But only one of them made my breath catch like a snare.Alec.His back was turned at first. Muscles stretched across his shoulders in perfect lines, moving with precision. Each step was calculated and graceful. His laugh rang out as he ducked under Lucas’s blade and struck clean across his side.He turned, and I swallowed.Tribal markings sprawled across his torso, half-faded in places, carved into flesh. My heart betrayed me with a thud.

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’
