Everything was prepared for our departure. Kira had packed several suitcases with dresses and all sorts of things for Viktor's event while I prepared with combat training. Before leaving, she helped me retouch the dye in my hair, using a pigment that would last longer.

"We can't risk them suspecting your hair is dyed," she said as she brushed it over my scalp.

Dean started sleeping in my room every night, with the excuse that his scent would mask mine.

"Do you really think I'm so naive to belie

    Chapter 37: Lie or Truth?We returned to the hall, my hand resting on Dean’s arm, just in time to witness the most dramatic and exaggerated entrance of the night. I sighed, bored and disappointed with what I was seeing.They entered in a line, presumably in order of hierarchy—the elders of the alliance. Looking at them, no one would call them old; after all, werewolves enjoyed a much longer youth. But it was noticeable that they were no longer at the peak of their strength.As they passed among the guests, wolves and she-wolves lowered their heads in respect for those ancient wolves, but Dean did not join them. He kept his head high, simply waiting for the group to approach. Still, I had to play my part of the innocent and fragile Luna, even though I believed none of those old wolves deserved my respect.When they stopped in front of Dean and me, I bowed with impeccable posture. “Greetings, elders,” I said in a low, delicate voice.“Alpha Dean Valerius, explain this.” The elder at the

    With every new interaction I had at the party, I tried to identify who had approached me and spoken those strange words. As if I didn’t already know, I was constantly being watched. Viktor’s allies were everywhere at that party, just as there were those whose trust he was still trying to win—but I highly doubted he would succeed.“That spoiled pup ruined any chance he had,” I whispered, turning to observe my surroundings.Dean’s scent hit me suddenly. Powerful, intense, enveloping. I turned my face slightly and saw him approaching, dodging some and ignoring others, firm in every step he took.“I will take my Luna away for a few moments,” he announced upon arriving, taking my hand and interlacing our fingers.My heart leaped

    Many questions were forming in my head, but none of those she-wolves could give me an answer. My eyes found Dean again; he seemed engrossed in a conversation with his beta and other wolves.The information I got from Eleanor and the other Lunas was pure gold, and I would use it to craft the most spectacular jewel of all.The party continued.The lower-caste wolves and she-wolves seemed more animated and agitated than the Lunas, which was very strange. Our bodies don’t process alcohol the way humans do, so we don’t get drunk no matter how much we drink. Kira appeared behind a particularly rowdy group, her eyes pointing to something on the floor near my foot.A small glass vial, still containing traces of what looked like herbs. I examined the vial curiously, b

    I walked through the hall with my head held high. Now, everyone knew who I was and cleared a path so I could move without difficulty. I smiled and nodded, maintaining the image of a sweet and gentle she-wolf.“Miss.” Someone called me. I turned, surprised that anyone would address me so casually after everything that had happened. I looked and saw a group of she-wolves approaching.Five she-wolves, all far too young to be anyone’s mate, which made the interaction even more out of place. Their judgmental gazes swept over my body from head to toe, and then I understood who they were. I glanced beyond the small group and saw Seraphina surrounded by other she-wolves, laughing as they sipped from their glasses.“What a beautiful dress you’re wearing. Could you give us the contact of who made it?” One of the she-wolves stepped closer, trying to touch me, but I pushed her hand away with a sharp slap.The she-wolves looked shocked—very different from everyone else around us. Even I, a mere sl

    Even though he looked calm, I could feel the rage exploding inside Dean. His blue eyes gleamed, his smile baring his canines. That interaction was becoming dangerous, and as curious as I was about what Viktor had said, this was far from the best moment to dive deeper into the subject.With little I could do, I grabbed Dean’s arm and made him look at me. I rested my head on his shoulder, giving him a sweet, affectionate look, and the hostile atmosphere vanished completely.“My alpha, may I join the other Lunas? Now that I can be formally introduced, I’d like to get a little closer to the matriarch of Eldermoon.” Viktor’s eyes widened. I could feel the subtle shift in the wolf at the possibility that his event wouldn’t go as he had planned.Dean’s fingers touched my back, pressing gently over the lace. He leaned over me, his lips brushing my ear in an intimate, warm way.“Invite Eleanor to visit our pack,” he whispered, but loud enough for Viktor and the other wolves around us to hear.

    I held Gideon's gaze as other wolves approached to clean up the mess he had made. Dean held my hands and carefully pulled me away, increasing the space between Gideon and us, but the Beta quickly advanced, closing the distance even more.Gideon's sudden approach surprised me, and I was frozen for a minute—but it was enough for him to extend his hand toward me, trying to grab my arm. The glass shards crunched on the floor, and Gideon's movements seemed in slow motion as he got closer. However, Gideon barely touched my skin."What do you think you're doing, beta?" Dean growled, grabbing Gideon's wrist with such force that the wolf bent forward, his right knee hitting the ground with a hollow thud.I covered my mouth with my hands, hiding my smile of satisfaction. Yes, that was what I wanted—to see each of them on their knees, humiliated before me, paying for everything they had done. But it still felt wrong. Gideon was being forced by Dean's strength, not by desperation or humiliation.

    The weight of the silence was crushing. Seraphina grew redder and redder, while some young she-wolves—her followers and sycophants—surrounded her. Her green eyes burned with pure hatred toward me."A nobody wolf, a nobody like you. How dare you get in my way?!" The she-wolf's face twisted into a ho

    Before we reached the group, my benefactor looked at me over her shoulder, still with her warm smile. "I didn't hear your name, young lady," she questioned. Clearly, she wasn't the type of she-wolf who asked questions, but rather one to whom answers came naturally.I smiled shyly, biting my lip and

    I felt trapped, as if several layers of tight bandages covered my body. I squirmed in the car seat, trying to find a comfortable position where I could breathe normally."Miss, if you keep moving like that, you'll mess up your hair." Kira, in her discreet black dress suitable for she-wolves of the

    I was in a constant state of alert, even as we moved through the city streets. A fine rain fell, hindering visibility. We headed south, toward Ashford, which surprised me quite a bit.I looked at Dean, who had his phone pressed to his ear, giving instructions with a firm voice and the authority of
