Jade stood firm, her heart pounding as she faced the man who had once controlled every aspect of her life. But she was no longer the scared little girl who had obeyed without question. She was stronger now.She had a pack. She had herself. And she wasn’t alone. Lilly was beside her, unwavering as always, her sharp eyes daring anyone to challenge them.Ashina stood slightly behind, silent but coiled with tension, ready to strike if needed.Hati crossed his arms, his towering form radiating defiance.The twins, Valentina and Isabella, shared a glance, their lips twitching as if already plotting mischief. And then there was Tala. Tala, who had no filter, no fear, and—most importantly—no respect for authority that hadn’t earned it. She tilted her head at Jade’s father, a perfectly innocent expression on her face as she said, “You know, for an Alpha, you’re kind of… useless.” She let the words hang before adding, “Oh! I mean, what’s the word? Ah, right—a worthless piece of shit.”

King Viktor was immersed in the meticulous work of finalizing the arrangements for the Mate Ball—a centuries-old tradition that served not only as a celebration of unity among the wolf packs but also as a crucible for political alliances and rivalries. In his private study, the walls were adorned with ancestral portraits and intricate carvings that told the story of his long and storied reign. Stacks of parchment and detailed reports lay scattered on his desk, each document a testament to the delicate balance of power he had maintained for decades. The soft glow of candlelight and the faint scent of incense lent the room an air of solemnity and focus, even as Viktor’s mind churned with thoughts of potential disruptions. As he carefully reviewed a report detailing the arrival schedules of various pack delegations, Viktor allowed himself a brief moment of respite, confident that his carefully laid plans would ensure the evening’s proceedings went smoothly. Yet, in the midst of his

Jade let out a slow breath as she and her packmates finally arrived at their assigned suite on the twelfth floor of the grand Royal Pack estate. After everything that had happened outside, stepping into the luxurious space felt like stepping into another world—one far removed from the chaos of unwanted claims, arrogant Alphas, and the King’s intense scrutiny. The suite was massive, with large windows offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding territory. Plush sofas and a grand dining table filled the common area, while several doors led to individual bedrooms. The air carried the faint scent of lavender and cedarwood, a calming contrast to the tension still lingering in Jade’s chest. Before she could process anything else, she was suddenly surrounded. Lilly was the first to grab her by the shoulders, scanning her with worried eyes. “Are you okay? Really okay?” Then Tala came next, looping an arm around Jade’s waist. “Because if not, just say the word, and I’ll go back down

The second morning at the Royal Pack estate greeted Jade not with sunlight, but with a heavy sky and a sharp breeze that cut across the balcony like a warning. Clouds loomed overhead, and the world below her buzzed with an uncomfortable energy. She gripped the cold marble railing as if it could steady the growing storm inside her. Today marked the official beginning of the trials. She hadn’t slept—not really. Her body had rested, but her mind had raced. Zach’s smug warning echoed in her skull, and Viktor’s unreadable gaze from the night before still lingered like a phantom touch on her skin. Even the echo of Lucien Blackthorn’s subtle presence from dinner remained, strange and quiet in her thoughts. A knock came just past dawn. Lilly opened the door to find a royal steward dressed in the King’s colors—black with silver trim and a crescent stitched over the heart. “You are requested in the North Assembly Courtyard by ten sharp,” he announced. “The trials will be revealed.
