The Beta's Forsaken Daughter 77. They Are Gullible
Isabella POVThe morning of the Royal Welcome Banquet, the palace hall was buzzing with movement as the final departing carriages pulled out of the courtyard gates.The remaining candidates from the Iridescent Wolf Ball were officially making their exits, their lavish trunks packed and loaded onto royal wagons. After Killian's announcement of full monetary compensation and land deeds, most of the females were leaving with bright smiles, eager to claim their new wealth.I stood on the upper balcony overlooking the grand foyer, watching the line move out.Light footsteps sounded on the polished floor behind me. I turned to see Princess Valerie walking toward me, her usual sharp posture slightly softer than before. Walking two paces behind her was Nora, her arms crossed tight over her chest, her face pale and her jaw locked tight."Isabella," Princess Valerie began, stopping a polite distance away. She bowed her head slightly, a rare gesture of genuine respect from the King's sister. "B

Isabella POVI smoothed down the silk of my dress and stepped smoothly back into the grand hall, keeping my posture regal and entirely unbothered."My lords and ladies," I called out, my voice carrying gracefully over the music and quiet chatter. "The hour grows late, and our honored guests have traveled far. Allow the servants to guide you to your quarters for the evening."I walked down the marble steps toward the VIP section, taking on the role of the perfect, gracious host. I guided several high ranking noble families toward the main elevator corridors, exchanging polite smiles and easy pleasantries before turning my attention to the Eclipse Pack delegation.As I approached, my father stepped forward, his eyes bright with fake affection. He had his arm wrapped tightly through the elbow of Lyra's mother, Magret, who stood beside him wearing a heavy silk gown and an arrogant, tight smile."Isabella, my dear," my father said smoothly, reaching out his free hand as if to pat my should
The Beta's Forsaken Daughter 75. Get Out Of My Sight
Isabella POVThe royal carriage carrying the Eclipse Pack leadership pulled into the inner courtyard just as the sun began to dip below the horizon.I stood at the top of the grand marble steps, wearing a heavy dark emerald gown with the heavy gold sigil ring shining on my hand. Killian stood right beside me, his arm wrapped loosely around my waist, his broad shoulders blocking out the evening light.The carriage doors opened, and Alpha Kaelen stepped out first, followed by my mother, my father, Lyra, and Blaine.Lyra wore a bright silk dress, trying her best to look like high nobility, while Blaine walked beside her looking pale, miserable, and visibly worn down. Because of his exposed affairs, the elders had stripped him of his right to ascend to Alpha, leaving him trapped in a bitter, worthless marriage to Lyra. I have to crush his hole of dreaming that he could ever be the Alpha of the Eclipse pack again and this very wedding is my chance. As they walked up the steps, Alpha Kaele

Isabella POVBefore I could meet Morrigan in the courtyard, I had to sneak past the guards in the main hallway.The corridor was quiet, lit only by small wall torches that cast long shadows against the stone. I kept my back pressed against the wall, my heels making no sound on the heavy rug as I moved toward the side entrance.Suddenly, a heavy hand grabbed my arm and pulled me into an empty alcove.My heart slammed against my ribs. I reached for the small dagger hidden in my skirt, but a familiar dark shadow stepped out of the dark.It was Darius. His cloak was damp from the night air, and his dark eyes were bright with a strange, nervous energy."You took your sweet time," Darius whispered, his voice rough and quiet. "The guards are changing shifts at the lower gate in ten minutes. Did you bring the information?"I pulled my arm out of his grip, stepping back and glaring up at him. "Do not touch me like that, Darius. And stop acting so desperate. Killian’s men are everywhere tonight
The Beta's Forsaken Daughter 73. No Guards Needed
Isabella POV"Too sweet," I declared, setting the silver dessert fork down with a sharp, metallic clatter against the porcelain plate.The royal head chef, a rotund man currently sweating through his crisp white collar, flinched as if I had personally insulted his lineage. "Lady Isabella, that is the candied violet buttercream, imported directly from—""It coats the tongue like lard and hides the actual flavor of the sponge," I said smoothly, dabbing the corners of my mouth with a embroidered linen napkin. "We are hosting over two hundred high nobility and pack leaders for four days. If the dessert course leaves them feeling heavy, they will be too sluggish to dance during the evening ball. Try the dark blackberry glaze with the roasted almond flour instead." Eldridge, standing two paces behind my left shoulder, immediately made a quick note on a long roll of parchment with a gold fountain pen. "A brilliant adjustment, My Lady. I shall inform the bakeries at once."The grand banquet

Isabella POVThe applause from the courtyard was still ringing through the open doors as Killian led me off the balcony and back into the grand reception hall.Before the ministers or reporters could swarm us, Killian raised his hand to command complete silence from the entire room. The lords, ladies, and the remaining twelve Selection candidates froze in place, their eyes locked on us."Effective immediately," Killian's deep voice echoed across the marble hall, "the Selection is officially dissolved."Gasps rippled through the room. Nora stood among the twelve candidates, her face pale and her hands shaking with pure shock."Every candidate who participated will receive full monetary compensation from the royal treasury," Killian continued smoothly, his arm wrapped firmly around my waist. "Your families will be granted lifelong tax exemptions, land deeds in the eastern provinces, and honorable titles for your service to the crown."For a second, there was complete silence. Then, a ma
