The kitchen was quiet, save for the soft clinking of plates and the faint aroma of warm bread and honey drifting in the air. Mira hummed under her breath as she carefully arranged the snacks on a tray—small fruit tarts, slices of spiced bread, and a cup of warm herbal tea that always seemed to ease Becca’s nerves.She had gone out of her way today, more than usual, making the food by hand instead of leaving it to the maids. She wanted it to mean something. She wanted Becca to feel… cared for.Mira tightened her grip on the tray as she thought about Kaelyn’s confession. "If I had said something, maybe Becca could have braced herself. Maybe it wouldn’t have felt like such a betrayal" Mira said to herself.The sound of footsteps broke into her thoughts. Heavy, steady, with the faint squeak of boots against the polished floor.When she looked up, she nearly dropped the tray.Jack.He walked into the kitchen with his hair was damp with sweat, sticking slightly to his forehead, and his tr
Alpha Eugene stood at the threshold of her bedroom, tall and commanding, framed by the dim light of the hall. His broad shoulders nearly filled the doorway, and though he didn’t speak at first, his presence was suffocating, as if the shadows themselves bent around him.His eyes, sharp as always, were fixed not on Seraphina first, but on Becca.There was a frown carved into his face, deep lines that betrayed more than irritation—betrayed confusion, maybe even hurt. Becca could almost hear the gears turning behind those storm-dark eyes, could feel the weight of his silence pressing down on her chest.He had heard. Of course, he had. Eugene missed nothing.Seraphina straightened immediately, her poise shifting. Though she tilted her head in mock unconcern, Becca caught the tension in her body, the faint stiffening of her spine, the way her nails bit into the silk of her gown. Seraphina wasn’t as unshaken as she pretended to be."Eugene," Seraphina said smoothly, her lips curling into a
The next day in the grand mansion carried a different kind of air, one that was deceptively calm compared to the storms that had raged within its walls yesterday.Seraphina woke with a brightness that could not be dimmed, a smug kind of joy that only she could savor. To any outsider, it would look like she had been kissed by fortune in her sleep. In reality, her happiness came from something far less beautiful.Seraphina's maid had reported that after Seraphina and the others had left, there had been a quarrel. Becca and Eugene—at odds, voices raised. And then Kaelyn, had stepped forward and confessed her love to Alpha Eugene.The thought of it still made Seraphina’s chest bubble with delight. Kaelyn’s betrayal, Becca’s humiliation, Eugene’s entanglement—it was everything she could have wished for and more. It was a dagger twisted right into Becca’s pride, and Seraphina was already sharpening her tongue to use it.By late afternoon, unable to keep her joy contained, Seraphina made h
Kaelyn’s footsteps echoed softly on the floor as she walked beside Jack. Her face was flushed, her eyes wide but bright, filled with a kind of stubborn satisfaction. Jack, however, was the complete opposite.They stopped outside Kaelyn’s chamber. The light streaming in through the tall windows told them it was nowhere near nightfall, but Kaelyn pushed the door open anyway. She entered first, her skirts brushing against the carved wood, while Jack lingered at the threshold, reluctant to follow but unwilling to leave her alone.Kaelyn dropped onto the edge of her bed, her chest rising and falling quickly. She smoothed the blanket with distracted fingers, her mind still replaying every second of what she had said to Alpha Eugene.“I did the right thing,” she whispered to herself.Jack finally stepped inside, closing the door behind him with a sharp click. “The right thing?” His voice was low. “Kaelyn, do you even hear yourself? Do you understand what you’ve done?”Her head snapped up,
The silence in Becca’s favorite chamber thickened until it felt like the walls themselves were pressing inward. It was a silence that was not empty but full of raw emotions, unspoken truths, and the sting of betrayal that clung to every soul present.Kaelyn’s voice had been soft, almost trembling when she admitted it, yet the impact was like a thunderclap.“I have feelings for Alpha Eugene.”Those words hung in the air, echoing, heavy enough to splinter something fragile between them all.Becca’s books had slipped from her hands the moment she heard them. The soft thud of pages hitting the floor had sounded louder than any war drum to her ears.Eugene stood frozen where he was, his usually steady posture betrayed by the faint clench of his jaw. Max’s eyes flicked nervously between everyone, while Jack remained unreadable—too composed, too still—as if waiting for the dust of the confession to settle before choosing where to stand.Mira was the first to move, though only slightly. She
The silence that followed Kaelyn’s muttered words was loud. On the surface, the room seemed unchanged, but Becca heard Kaelyn. She heard it as clearly as if Kaelyn had screamed it. The weight of the insult, the implication, pressed down on her chest like a stone.Her grip faltered. The books slipped from her arms, falling against the floor in a sound that echoed far louder than it should have. Becca’s eyes, blazing with restrained fury, locked on Kaelyn.“Repeat that,” Becca hissed, her voice filled with trembling control. “Repeat what you just said.”Kaelyn’s eyes widened, panic flashing briefly across her face. She forced a nervous laugh, stepping back a little. “I—I didn’t say anything. You must’ve misheard. I was just thinking out loud.”Becca’s nostrils flared. “Don’t you dare lie to me, Kaelyn. Say it. Tell them what you said. Now.”Confusion rippled through the others. Max frowned, stepping slightly forward. “What are you talking about? Kaelyn didn’t say anything.”Jack ti
