My good mood evaporated instantly.

"How long have you been standing there?" I asked.

"Long enough." He pushed off the pillar and sauntered toward me. "Making friends with Mia Charlie? That's bold. Or stupid. I haven't decided which yet."

"I was just being nice to someone who was upset."

"Nice." He said the word like it was foreign to him. "Humans don't get to be nice here. They get to be useful or they end up dead."

I crossed my arms. "Is there a point to this conversation, or are you just prac

    Louisa's POVAsher stepped forward to the microphone, and the crowd immediately fell silent.His presence commanded attention in a way that made everyone sit up straighter."Thank you all for gathering," he said, his voice carrying across the amphitheater. "As you know, the Full Moon Festival is this weekend. It's one of our most important cultural celebrations.”He paused and his eyes found mine in the crowd again. My breath caught."And for the first time," he continued, his gaze still locked on me, "we're including humans in the celebration. Because this isn't just our city. It's theirs too."The crowd went absolutely wild. Students jumped to their feet, cheering and shouting. They were mostly humans though, the wolves didn’t look too pleased with the idea. Someone screamed, "I love you, Alpha!"I felt a flutter in my chest that I immediately tried to suppress.Asher finally looked away from me, gesturing to Draven. "I'd also like to introduce Alpha Draven, who will be staying wit

    Louisa's POVI entered the art classroom nervously, clutching my schedule like a lifeline.The room was much smaller than I expected. Only five other students were there, scattered among the easels and worktables.Christie stood at the front, arranging supplies. When she saw me, her face lit up."Louisa! You came!" She hurried over and took my hands. "I'm so glad you chose my class.""Thank you for having me," I said, smiling despite my nerves."Come, come. Let me introduce you to everyone." She turned to the class. "Everyone, this is Louisa. She's new to the Academy and to art, so let's make her feel welcome."Two of the students, both human, smiled and waved. A girl with dark curly hair said, "Hi! I'm Lyra.""And I'm James," the boy beside her added.The three wolves in the class didn't even look up. They just kept preparing their supplies like I didn't exist."Don't mind them," Christie whispered. "They're always like that. Very focused on their work."I nodded and took a seat at

    Asher's POVI was already dressed and heading out when I spotted Draven in the portrait gallery.My irritation flared immediately at the sight of him wandering unsupervised. But then again, that was exactly like him, going wherever he pleased, boundaries be damned.I forced a smile and approached. "Draven. I trust you slept well?"He didn't turn around, but kept staring at the large family portrait on the wall. "Very well, thank you. I was just admiring this. Your family looked so... happy here."I followed his gaze to the portrait. It had been painted before everything fell apart.My father stood tall and proud, one hand on my mother's shoulder. She was smiling that warm, gentle smile I barely remembered now. Kassie and Stanley were just children, grinning at the camera. And I stood beside them, trying to look serious and regal.We had all been so excited that day. Our parents had made it into a celebration, telling us how important it was to capture this moment.Mom had even said

    Louisa’s POVThe two alphas stood facing each other in the hallway, the tension crackling between them like electricity.Draven's smirk hadn't faded and Asher's expression remained furious.I felt like I was watching two predators size each other up, and I was the prey caught between them."Alpha Draven!" Yelena's voice cut through the standoff. She appeared from around the corner with a bright smile. "What a pleasure to have you here! I trust your rooms are to your satisfaction?"Draven's attention shifted to her immediately, his smirk transforming into a charming smile. "Yelena. As beautiful as ever. The accommodations are perfect, thank you.""Wonderful! I was just about to have breakfast prepared for you and the King. Perhaps we could discuss the menu?" She shot me a look that I understood clearly.And I didn't need to be told twice.I slipped past them quickly, but I couldn't help glancing back.Asher was staring at me with those intense mismatched eyes. I looked away and kept wa

    Louisa’s POVI woke up with a huge arm draped over my waist abd warm, minty breath tickling the back of my neck.My eyes flew open almsot immediately as realization hit me. I was still in Asher's bed, and we had spent the night together after….With my face flaming, I turned my head carefully and looked at him.He was asleep, snoring softly and a smile tugged at my lips. I turned to look at him properly, marveled by how peaceful he looked. The hard lines around his mouth had softened and his mismatched eyes were closed, dark lashes resting against his cheeks.My hand lifted before I could stop it, reaching toward his face and wanting to trace the line of his jaw. There was a piece of hair that had fallen across his forehead and I wanted to smooth it back. Then reality crashed back and I yanked my hand away, my heart thudding terribly fast. What was I doing? What was I even thinking?Last night had been a mistake. A moment of weakness for both of us. We were too caught up in whate

    Asher’s POVI knew I shouldn’t be doing this but I couldn’t help myself, not with the way my wolf was pushing and begging for me to cave into more. My entire body was vibrating with need and a feral kind of want was coursing through me. The moment I kissed her, she gasped against my lips, and I swallowed the sound, kissing her desperately like she was oxygen and I was drowning.She kissed me back. Her hands fisted in my shirt, pulling me closer. When her lips parted, letting me in deeper, I wasted no time in plunging my tongue into her mouth, tasting caramel and mint and something else that made my head spin. My hands found her waist, her hips, sliding up to cup her full breasts through the tight fabric of her uniform.She moaned into my mouth, and the sound nearly destroyed me.‘Mate,’ my wolf sang in triumph. ‘Ours. Finally touching our mate.’I peppered kisses down her jaw to her throat, tasting her skin. She tilted her head back, giving me access, her fingers tangling in my ha

    I had been running for what felt like hours, but nothing looked different. I was certain I’d run past the same tree more than once, and there was a creeping realization that I was just goin in circles.My lungs burned and my legs shook with exhaustion.

    "Let go of me," Agnes snarled."Apologize first," Mia said. "To the girl you were assaulting."Agnes scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Assaulting? I was just-""What? Pushing her? Calling her names? Raising your hand to strike her?” Mia's smile didn't reach her eyes. "You know what the Academy's policy

    The outfit Yelena had picked out for me was perfect.A short plaid skirt that hit mid-thigh, a crisp white button-up top and a matching plaid jacket that somehow made the whole thing look sophisticated.I looked at myself in the mirror and barely recognized the girl staring back. She looked put tog
