Mira POVThe booming voice of the Alpha, my father, jolted me awake. Startled and frightened, I sat upright on my mattress, shivering in pain from his previous night’s brutal beatings. My heart raced as I forced myself to stand, wincing from the deep ache in my body. Though hiding in the closet seemed tempting, past experiences warned me that it might provoke further ire from him.With trembling legs, I walked across the room to where he sat with my mother, the Luna. But before I could reach them, my father stood up suddenly and landed a hot slap on my left cheek. The searing pain radiated through my face as I instinctively held my hand to soothe the stinging sensation, tears welling up in my eyes.“Where’s our breakfast? Do we have to beg you, the house help, to cook and clean? Is that too much to ask?” He bellowed from his seat, his voice filled with contempt. “Are you deaf, huh? We know you’re mute, but has that also affected your hearing?” His furious words echoed in the room as h

Navier’s POVAs she slumped into my arms, a surge of conflicting emotions washed over me. How could this be? I was bewildered and amazed, questioning myself. Should I take her back to my pack or leave her here?Confusion raced through my mind. Ever since the death of my Luna, Cara, I had been consumed by grief and regret. I couldn’t forgive myself for leaving her unprotected in the pack. That fateful day, I had left the pack to attend a werewolf summit hosted by a neighboring pack. During the meeting, I felt a painful strain on our mate bond, leaving me on edge as I desperately tried to reach her through our connection but failed.Desperate for answers, I attempted to communicate with the pack delta through the pack link, having left him in charge, and hurriedly left the summit with my beta, Ethan. Uneasy and anxious, I rushed home in my wolf's form through the dense forest. The pain from our broken mate bond was unbearable, but I refused to be deterred.When I finally arrived home, i

Mira’s POVHe wants me to be his maid, his plaything for entertainment. Tears streamed down my face as I recalled his last words. Despite enduring a lifetime of slave-like treatment, I never expected my mate to treat me this way.While being a maid is a life I am accustomed to, the idea of sharing my body with a man who belittles me and refuses to accept me as his Luna is something I cannot tolerate. I glared at him, vehemently shaking my head.“You believe it is unfair to you, don’t you?” He laughed mockingly as I stood defensively, clenching my fist and glaring at him.“What’s unfair,” he drawled out each word, “is that I am burdened with a weak, pathetic mate.” Through gritted teeth, he poked my head with his thumb. But I refused to let his words affect me as I stared boldly into his eyes.“Lower your eyes when I speak to you,” he commanded, stepping closer. Before I realized it, he slammed me against the wall and grasped my neck. Gasping for air, I struggled against his hold, tryi

Mira's POV The guard eyed me with suspicion, his gaze intense and filled with doubt as if daring me to lie, I wriggled my hands behind me with my gaze boring holes into the ground. "The man I saw you speaking with earlier, who is he ?" He questioned, his eyes filled with doubts as if he was dating me to laugh, my eyes squinted in fear of being caught, not knowing what to do. I couldn't give my father's identity away, which would lead to disaster. I decided to play the innocent I'm dumb act. I stretched my hands from my back to my front and signaled "I don't know" Before I could walk away, he grabbed my right arm making me grunt in pain," What do you mean you don't know?" He growls "Immediately you saw me, the man leaped into the forest I ain't no fool, either you tell me the truth or I'll have Beta Ethan torture you to talk". He threatened me by tightening his grip on my arm.The instant he said that panic surged through me, and I realized I was in deep trouble my mate must not

Mira’s POV The tension in the room was suffocating, as we all waited for Alpha Navier's response. He didn't respond immediately, as he sat back in his chair, his sharp gaze flicking between me and Carrie. His face showed no expression. I held my breath, waiting for his response. Finally, he shrugged and said, “She’s not worth my time,” before calmly returning to his meal, as if I meant nothing to him. His words struck me like a whip. I had hoped—foolishly, that perhaps he might step in and defend me, even after all he’d done. But his cold dismissal cut deeper than I’d expected, because he was my mate. Across the room, Carrie smirked, her face showing the satisfaction she felt. I could feel tears burning at the edges of my eyes, but I forced them down. I wouldn’t cry. Not here. Not in front of her. Life had never been fair to abominations like me, and today was no different. I felt a hand on my dress, brushing the splattered food on my dress, and I flinched before I realiz
