POV Lily.My steps echoed through the empty hallways of the pack house. My mind was in turmoil, a chaotic mess of thoughts and emotions. What had happened in the bathroom was a dark shadow hanging over me, and the uncertainty of what the future held for me was almost unbearable.I couldn't stop thinking about that expression on the alpha's face, a look of disgust and anger that I had never seen before. Those eyes that used to look at me with tenderness and affection now regarded me as if I were something repulsive. It made my heart race, and I felt cornered, not knowing what he would do next.He was the supreme alpha, the leader of the pack, and he had the power to decide my fate. I wondered if he would exile me, condemning me to roam alone with his pack mark on my neck, a sign of my rejection. That prospect was terrifying, and I felt lost, without a place to call home.As I walked down the corridor, my hands trembled. I didn't know where I was going or what to do. Every step I took b
POV ALPHA LukeI was about to slit her throat with my enormous claws, my wolf growling in fury. The beast inside me was ready to wreak havoc and let Lily's blood spread across the office floor. But something stopped me from continuing when she looked deep into my eyes and uttered words that cut me deeper than any sharp silver blade."I wonder if you were trying to turn me into Ava when you gave me her dress as a gift. Should I feel honored to receive something that belonged to your former mate? Or should I be sad to think that, to you, I'm just a substitute?" Lily's eyes were filled with tears, but her voice held a hint of courage.My wolf growled loudly and banged its head against the wall, as if trying to ward off the anger that consumed it and prevented me from killing her. I took a deep breath, attempting to control the beast inside me, as I watched Lily in front of me, with her face red and her eyes swollen from crying."I know you visit me at night... One night, when you entered
"I don't know what to do, Clara," Olivia whispered, wearing a worried expression as she tossed the dresses onto the floor. "You should have heeded my warning about avoiding trouble," Clara replied, her tone serious. "I couldn't help it. When I saw Lily wearing that red dress with the Alpha's hands around her, I felt an overwhelming urge to tear that dress into pieces and leave Lily covered in bruises... That useless slave was lucky I didn't hurt her me," Olivia confessed angrily, crossing her arms in indignation. "You shouldn't be proud of that. The Alpha caught you both fighting in the bathroom. You almost ruined the ceremony. You broke the rules, so don't expect the Alpha to be lenient," Clara said, a note of warning in her voice. "Do you think he'll expel me from the pack?" Olivia sighed deeply, trying to regain her composure. "I'm not sure. Both of you will be severely punished. But it doesn't make sense for him to mete out a lighter punishment to a slave than to a pack m
Olivia hesitated at the alpha's door. Her heart pounded erratically, and fear enveloped her like a dark shadow. She knew the alpha was furious about the incident in the bathroom and the destruction of the dress that had once belonged to his former mate. With a deep sigh, she finally knocked on the door."Come in," the alpha's voice sounded rude and cold, devoid of any trace of gentleness.She pushed the door open and entered the room. He was sitting in a chair, his red eyes fixed on her, and his expression was as hard as stone. Olivia swallowed hard, feeling minuscule in the presence of such power."Alpha," Olivia began, her voice trembling, "I just wanted to apologize for what happened in the bathroom and for the dress. I don't know what came over me; I was blinded by jealousy, and..."He interrupted her with a low, impatient growl. "You're not here to make excuses, Olivia. You're here because you violated the pack's rules and caused a shameful scene in front of everyone."She lowere
ALPHA LUKE's POV"I love you, Luke," she smiled between kisses, resting her head on my chest."I love you too, Ava," I replied tenderly, enveloping her in a warm embrace. Our hearts beat in perfect harmony, as if they were made for each other.Ava traced gentle circles on my chest with the tips of her fingers, while I caressed her silky hair. The forest was peaceful, and the sunlight illuminated the sky alongside the blue clouds, creating an intimate and welcoming scene.Our eyes met, and the world around us seemed to disappear. She had that sparkle in her eyes, the same sparkle that had captivated me from the moment we met. Her smile was like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day."Try to catch me, Luke!" Ava smiled, running toward the trees, playing and challenging me. Her laughter echoed through the forest as I pursued her through the woods.She was fast, agile like a gazelle, and I had difficulty keeping up with her. The trees passed by as blurs around me as I tried to reach her. Ever
POV LilyI was lying on my bed, my breathing irregular, amidst stifled sobs, I tried to contain the tears streaming down my face, wetting the white sheets of my bed. Jennie was by my side, caressing my hair and trying to calm me down, but nothing seemed to work."Lily, it's already seven in the morning, you need to calm down," Jennie said, concerned."I can't stop crying, Jennie. I feel like this sadness has been pent-up inside me for a long time, and only now am I able to let it out," I stammered nervously, my nose running."You've been crying for over three hours straight, non-stop. This is worrying, look at yourself!" Jennie argued, pointing towards the mirror.I raised my eyes carefully and observed my reflection. I looked terrible, with my hair messy and tangled in various strange knots, swollen eyes with dark circles, and my face completely red. Furthermore, I lowered my head, embarrassed, barely able to face my own reflection."Go take a shower and wash your face, Lily. You can
**POV Lily**The door opened slowly, revealing a scene that left me in shock. Olivia was wrapped in a white sheet, emerging from the Alpha's room. Her challenging gaze and mocking smile on her lips further bewildered me. I stood there, frozen, as I saw Olivia naked, hastily covering herself with the sheet. The surprise rendered me momentarily speechless, making it hard to grasp what was happening."What are you doing in the Alpha's room?" I swallowed nervously.I knew I would regret asking that question bitterly. Olivia, on the other hand, shot me a sarcastic look and seized the opportunity to taunt me, making cruel insinuations that struck a blow to my self-esteem."Oh, my dear Lily, you have no idea what you're missing. The Alpha invited me to spend the night with him. It seems he finally realized how insignificant you are."I felt my face flush with shame and anger. I couldn't believe Olivia's words. Furthermore, I felt humiliated and betrayed, but was also determined not to let he
**POV Lily**Everything around me seemed to spin, and my blurred vision threatened to make me collapse at any moment. Johanna held my arms firmly, guiding me with slow steps into the kitchen."Have some water, dear. I know you're nervous about seeing the Alpha again," Johanna said gently, handing me a glass filled with liquid."Thank you," I murmured, my voice wavering. My hands trembled uncontrollably, turning the simple act of holding the glass into a challenge."Lily, you seem really unwell. I think we should tell the Alpha that you're not feeling well and have decided to stay in bed," Johanna suggested with a concerned expression, holding me tightly to prevent me from collapsing."I... I'm okay," I stammered nervously. My face was as pale as a white sheet of paper, and I struggled to contain the tumultuous emotions boiling inside me. My legs were weak, and I could barely stand, as thoughts of Olivia and the Supreme Alpha spending the night together tortured my mind."Johanna, why
