LOGINEvelina Marlowe once had everything a loving family, a protective brother, and a home where she belonged. But when their biological daughter returned, Evelina was slowly replaced. To protect Aurelia, the family asked Evelina to take the blame for a serious crime. Trusting the people she loved, she agreed. Instead of gratitude, she received two years of brutal imprisonment, with no visits, no letters, and no one waiting for her. When she finally returns, she is no longer the girl they once knew. She only wants to make sure her adoptive mother's health is stable before leaving the family forever. But her return catches the attention of Theron Valtieri, the Lycan King, who suspects that Evelina's past hides a dangerous secret. Meanwhile, Ronan Blackthorne, the Alpha originally meant for Aurelia, begins seeing something in Evelina that everyone else has overlooked. The daughter they abandoned may hold a royal bloodline, a destiny beyond their imagination, and a future they will never be part of. And when the truth finally comes out, will the people who abandoned her deserve another chance?

I followed his gaze and saw Evelina passing by with a basket of folded linens.She didn't stop.She didn't even glance at the table.Still, Ronan watched until she disappeared.I lowered my cup."Is something wrong, Alpha Ronan?"His eyes returned to me. "No. You were saying?"I smiled. "I was asking whether you would like to visit the garden after breakfast. Mother wanted to show you the new greenhouse.""That would be fine."Alistair looked pleased.I smiled too.It was a small thing. Nothing worth worrying about.At least, that's what I told myself.After breakfast, I went to Mother's room. She was sitting by the window, looking through a magazine. Her medicine case rested on the bedside table."Mother, did you sleep well?"She smiled when she saw me. "Much better, dear."I kissed her forehead an
Evelina’s POVI was halfway down the stairs when I heard Aurelia laughing.It came from the sitting room.I stopped. Not because I wanted to listen. I had a basket of clean towels in my arms, and the shortest way to Mother's room was through that hallway."Alpha Ronan said he might stay another day," Aurelia said.Mother sounded pleased. "That's wonderful, dear."Alistair chuckled. "He seems interested in the alliance.""Don't get ahead of yourself," Mother said, though she sounded just as excited.I continued walking.A servant passed me and opened the sitting room door. I stepped aside to let her through."Evelina."Alistair had noticed me."Yes, Alpha?"His expression tightened at the title. He still hadn't gotten used to hearing it from me."Mother needs those towels?""Yes.""Then take them upstairs. We have guests."I nodded and went on.Nobody asked me to stay.That afternoon, I helped the nurse prepare Mother's things for her next appointment. Her medicine was arranged on the
Ronan’s POVThe Marlowe Pack had prepared half the estate for my arrival.Flowers lined the entrance. Servants stood in neat rows, and the dining hall had been arranged for a formal welcome.I wasn't there for the decorations.I was there to meet Aurelia Marlowe.My father had been discussing an alliance with the Marlowes for months. Their territory was valuable, and their family had strong ties with several neighboring packs. A marriage between me and their biological daughter would make the agreement stronger.I had agreed to meet her.Nothing more."Alpha Ronan. Welcome to our home."Alistair Marlowe approached with a polite smile. Beside him stood an elegant woman in a pale blue dress.Aurelia."Thank you for having me," I said.She lowered her head slightly. "It's an honor to meet you, Alpha Ronan."Her voice was soft. Her smile was pleasant. She looked exactly like the kind of woman her family had described."Please, come inside," Alistair said. "My mother is waiting."We entere
Theron’s POVThe prison warden took too long to answer.I stood beside the desk, reading the same report for the third time. The file contained Evelina Marlowe's sentence, release date, and a list of disciplinary incidents.It said nothing useful about her injuries."Your Majesty, the warden is on the line."I took the receiver."This is Theron Valtieri."There was a pause."Your Majesty. How may I assist you?""I want the complete medical records of Evelina Marlowe. Every examination, every injury, every treatment during her two years there.""Of course. We sent the official records with her release documents.""What you sent is incomplete."Another pause."I'll have my staff check.""Do that.
