I sit with Lyra and Sage. I hate Lyra more because of Darius, but in the past week, she has changed. Sure, she would call me names and throw abuse at me.She’s made amends, though, and she’s actually herself. I realised her and the peanut shaving incident was real. She really is that gullible and easily fooled.So it makes sense she ran along with Aurora and everyone. We’ve spent a lot of time together, and her own family has apologised to me after the way they treated me at that ball, giving me zero points.I still have the letter. It’s nice, though. It also proves just how easily people can be manipulated and turned evil for the wrong reasons.We sit, drink, and talk. We stand, drink, laugh, dance, and fall over. Lyra wasn’t lying when she said she liked to party. She is drinking way more than Sage and me.“We will all be living together! We can do this every weekend.” Lyra laughs and falls off the chair.“You realise it is Sage and me that will get in trouble for how drunk you are?

Breakfast is quiet, no doubt, because we're hung over. Lyra has apologised at least fifty times to me and Sage. Then, another hundred times to Kellan for her comments. Then her apologies continue after to Darius. Apparently, William had failed to tell her Beta outside her room not to let her leave, so they escorted her to Darius's room soon after she was put there.From her conversation with Sage and me, she actually did strip, climb into Darius' bed and wait for him. It's highly amusing. For us, not her and Darius, however. They both are sat far away from each other, looking horrified."Are you ready?" I look towards William as he stands waiting. This interview is scaring me. I have to do it, though. I've gone over it multiple times with Darius and Kellan.Nodding, I follow him through. I sit with the cameras in front of me. Just as many as before when we told them I was Xenia.I walk over and take a seat."Luna Xenia, it's a pleasure to interview you again." I go to say I'm not Luna

I'm done with this ball. With this event and everything about it now. Something feels off; Winter is on edge, and I don't understand why either.Currently, I'm standing beside Lyra, and Darius stands in front of us, waiting for William to announce the winner. He's counted up all the votes, and even I know it's Lyra.He was selective in who he invited. They are all team Lyra, and that was noticeable when they spent all their time around Lyra and avoiding me."Your new queen is Lyra." William's words have me smiling and stepping back. I feel an arm wrap around my waist and watch as Darius proposes to Lyra."I wanted to run away, but apparently, we're not allowed to yet." I laugh and turn, looking at Kellan. "Oh, come on, it's been four hours. I would rather be physically tortured than spend even longer here.""You're so dramatic." He nods and grins."I want to relax. It's over. Well, almost."Moving, I unfasten his tie, his eyes widening. "You're going to get me told off.""It got wet."

I wait, but Darius doesn't speak."Darius, this is highly inappropriate. Your future wife is through that door in her wedding dress.""Can we talk?" He looks at me."Now isn't the time.""Then when is?""That depends on what you want to speak about."He sighs and steps closer, my hand raising. "No, don't come any closer. Actually, I think we need to try the whole rejecting thing again.""Why are you so obsessed with rejecting me?""Why are you so obsessed with ignoring you're my mate and focusing on marrying Lyra?"His mouth closes. "Exactly, so I want to try again, and this time, Hades says it as well." His body stills, and he swallows hard. "Yes, I know, so this time it will work.""I'm busy." He turns and walks out. Moving, I lift the dress and follow him. He's not refused once until now. William stares at me and smiles."He went that way," he points out, looking rather happy that I'm chasing Darius down. I go in the direction he said, and he follows at a distance. I stop at Darius

Darius"They seem to be healing well, but both are exhausted. They likely won't wake for hours." The doctor looks at me. She's basically telling me to go deal with shit rather than sitting here watching them sleep."Yori, stay with them. Any updates, get them sent straight to me, even if I'm busy." He nods at my words, and I walk out."People are speaking. Many saw the cars and wolves arrive and are speculating what happened." William follows me, holding the papers. "Cameras also recorded the altercation between yourself and the prince, and they heard what was said.""That doesn't matter; it's private." People have no right to know about us arguing."Many are causing issues at the wall. Those supporters of Xenia are hell-bent on getting her revenge for your ignoring that she was your mate."Again, it's private and has nothing to do with them. We continue walking and he continues going through the list."Alpha Draven ran; we haven't found him yet. However, he has told people that your
