Nadia's POV

I woke up slowly. My head felt heavy. I was on a soft bed, not in my own room. The air smelled clean, like medicine. I was in the pack infirmary.

I turned my head. Neal was there. He sat on a chair next to my bed. His green eyes were full of worry.

“You are awake,” he said. His voice was soft with relief. “How do you feel?”

I tried to sit up. My body felt weak. I pointed to my head and made a small, dizzy motion with my hand.

“You fainted,” he explained. “You fell from the horse. I caught you. You have been sleeping for a while.”

I gave him a small, thankful smile. I picked up the notepad and pencil from the small table near the bed.

Thank you for catching me, I wrote.

“I will always catch you, Valerie,” he said. His voice was serious. He leaned forward. “I promise. I will not let anything bad happen to you.”

His words were kind. They made me feel safe for a moment. That feeling did not last.

The door to the infirmary flew open. It hit the wall with a loud bang.

Noah stood

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Map on Her Skin

    Nadia’s POVMy hands trembled, the new burns on my arms pulsing with a memory of fire. I reached for my notepad on the old wooden desk, the simple movement making the silvery, swirling scars burn brighter for a moment. Hermlock watched me, his old eyes wide and serious in the study light, filled with a knowing sadness.I put the pencil to the paper and wrote the first question burning in my soul, the one that screamed inside my head.Why do they glow?Hermlock leaned closer, his breath a soft, tired sigh. “They glow because the memory is alive in you now,” he said, his voice gentle but firm. “It is no longer buried deep down where you cannot reach it. It is a truth, a real and powerful truth, written right on your skin for you to see. Your seer’s power, child, it usually paints pictures of the future in your mind. But this time, you forced it to look backward. You forced it to show you the past, and your body, this new body you live in, could not hold such a powerful truth without mar

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Memory Trial

    Nadia's POVThe morning sun entered into Hermlock's study, but it felt cold. The truth I had written last night, I am Nadia, hung between us like smoke. I wasn't just Valerie. I was a dead woman walking in another woman's skin, and now Hermlock knew it.He laid the faded Moon Shade tunic on his heavy oak desk. The ancient cloth, with its worn moon and teardrop, looked like a ghost among the scrolls and candles."You say you see things before they happen," Hermlock said, his old fingers tracing the embroidered symbol. His touch was gentle, like he was touching a sacred thing. "But you have only looked forward. Your mother's spirit did not bring you back just to see the future. She needs you to see the past. The real past. The truth you left behind."He placed my hands on the soft, worn fabric. "This is not just cloth," he whispered. "It is a key. Your mother's love is woven into every thread. Her hope. Her last wish for you. Let it unlock what you have buried deep inside."I closed my

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Confession

    Nadia's POVI waited until the castle was quiet. The kind of quiet that comes in the deepest part of the night, when even the stones seem to sleep. Neal was finally resting, his breath steady but his face still pinched with the day’s shame. I kissed his temple, my heart aching, and slipped from our room.The halls were empty. My bare feet made no sound on the cold floor. I held the leather-wrapped bundle tight against my chest, where the strange, warm weight of my necklace lay against my skin. It felt like a second heartbeat tonight.Old Man Hermlock’s quarters were in the oldest part of the castle, near the archives. A single candle glowed under his door. I knocked softly.The door opened almost at once. Hermlock stood there, wrapped in a faded robe. His old eyes weren’t sleepy. They were sharp, like he’d been waiting. “Luna Valerie,” he said, his voice a dry whisper. “Come in. The night is for truth-tellers.”I stepped inside. The room was full of books and scrolls and the smell of

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Breaking

    Nadia’s POVThe pack gathered under the full moon. This gathering should have felt like family. Instead, it felt like a funeral.Everyone was there. The whole pack stood in the big clearing behind the castle. The moon was a bright, cold coin in the black sky. It showed every face, every worry.On one side, Noah stood tall. Maya was glued to his side, wearing a new dress the color of moonlight. She looked like a pretty little doll. Her smile was small and sweet, but her eyes were hungry. They swept over the crowd, looking for something. Looking for me.On the other side, I stood with the ones who were still loyal. Old Man Hermlock. The healer. We stood close together.Then Neal walked out.He didn’t stand with us. He walked across the empty space and stopped beside Noah. My heart squeezed tight. He didn’t look at me.Noah raised a hand. The murmuring crowd went silent.“Brothers and sisters,” Noah’s voice was loud, echoing in the night. “We stand at a new beginning. The Moon Goddess ha

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Sacrifice  

    Neal’s POVI couldn’t stand it anymore.Watching Valerie walk through the halls was like watching a ghost. A beautiful, sad ghost that everyone was afraid to touch. Kael’s men were always there, like shadows with cold eyes. They didn’t touch her, they didn’t speak to her. They just watched. It was worse than if they had shouted. Their silence was a wall, and she was trapped inside it.She tried to be brave for me. She would smile her small smile and squeeze my hand. But her eyes… her eyes were miles away. They were in some dark place I couldn’t reach. She jumped at small sounds. She stopped trying to go to the gardens, to the kitchens. She just stayed in our room, or sat by the window, staring out at a world she couldn’t touch.It was killing me.I found Noah in the war room. He was alone, looking at maps. He didn’t look up when I walked in.“We need to talk,” I said, my voice hard.“I’m busy,” he said, still not looking.“I don’t care.” I walked up and slammed my hands on the table,

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Cage

    Nadia's POVThe walls were closing in. I could feel them.It started the morning after the feast. I went to the healer’s hut, like I always did, to help . But two warriors were standing outside the door. Kael’s men.“Healer is busy,” one said, not looking at my face. His voice was flat. “No visitors today.”I stood there, holding my basket of clean bandages. Agatha was never too busy for me. I tried to step forward, to show him the basket.He moved, blocking the door with his whole body. “I said, she’s busy. Go back to your room.”His eyes were empty. There was no arguing with them.I walked away, my face hot. I could feel his stare on my back. It wasn’t the only one.Everywhere I went, they were there. A young warrior leaning against the wall, watching me cross the courtyard. Two more by the kitchens, stopping their talk to stare as I passed. Their eyes followed me, cold and heavy.I went for a walk in the gardens, to the quiet patch of herbs by the eastern wall. It was my place to
