Lily's shriek was loud enough to cause half the people gathered to stare back at her. The matching wide eyed looks on their faces would have pleased me, if I wasn't so focused on Lily's face. Her usually pleasant disposition had been twisted into an ugly look that matched her wicked heart. One of the things different about this life was the immediate cruelty I had faced from Lily. I vaguely wondered if it was because I had been the one to accept her into the palace, because she didn't even bother taking the best friend route with me. No, this Lily was ruthless and went for what she wanted. She was determined to take Damien from me no matter what. She marched towards me again, attempting what she tried to before. This time, she was successful. Her palm landed true on my face and the world turned white for a second.I didn't react. No one did. Damien sure as hell, did not give one damn— or perhaps he did. What did it matter?I didn't care for Damien—well, my wolf did, but that was

Damien was gritting his teeth, his eyes flashed with annoyance, but he held his tongue. I opened my mouth to speak. "Mother—" "Don't speak without being spoken to, Madeline." Susan's sharp voice cut me off. My mouth fell open, and I could only stare at her blank expression in belligerent wonder. What was my mother in law playing at? If she didn't want Lily to go with Damien, then didn't we have somewhat of the same goal? Except I was underestimating just how devious Susan was. She wasn't the one desperate to save her life. No, everything she wanted to go well for her had already gone well. I was the one who faced death in the face and came back to life. Only I could understand and accomplish my own intentions, even if it seemed like they were headed in the same direction as Susan's. Lily smiled fully when she saw the way Susan had quickly dismissed me, but I didn't pay her any mind. Her plans to take Damien from me would be ruined if Susan had her way, and it was increasing

My breathing hitched in my throat, and my limbs suddenly felt too heavy to move, despite my brain urging them. Move. Run. Get away. All these commands seemed to fade away when my eyes met the monster's in front of me. I wished it was Axel, the Serpent. It wasn't. This was much worse, because I couldn't tell who it was—what it was. The figure took another step closer to me, his eyes hard and set on mine—his skin a pale green shade that appeared sunken the closer he came. Sunlight from the blinds reflected on him, but it didn't deter him for a moment. I placed a hand on my throat, as if by some unforeseen miracle that could calm my raging pulse. It didn't. There was only one thing I could do—one thing I needed to do, and I knew what it was. I had to do it. Run. This time my brain didn't ignore the command, but it was already too late. The moment my feet tried to lift off the ground, the figure approaching me knew it. He tilted his head to the side, his gaze hollow and pi

The pale look on my lady in waiting's face spelled of doom, even before those words leave her lips. I could feel my lips parting to tell her that I was fine, but I couldn't really hear myself. "My lady, are you alright? You don't look soo good. You're frightfully pale." She inched closer, pressing soft fingers to my cheeks. I flinched unconsciously, still a little rattled from the attack, despite my survival. Shaking my head, I mustered a smile I hoped reached my eyes. "I'm fine. Did you say there's been an issue?" I repeated her words to her. That was more important than the state I was in, so I probed further. A frown married her face, and she took a step back, keeping some distance between us, as was customary of lady's in waiting. "My lady, it seems miss Lily has done something scandalous." She sounded frightful and restless, but she seemed to watch her words. Did she think I wasn't aware of the rumors? Almost everyone in the kingdom was aware that I had lost favor in my

"What? What do you mean by that?" I croaked, hating the desperation that was seeping into my tone. He couldn't mean that, right? Lily wasted no time in getting up, and leaning into my mate, who all but melted into her. "Alpha, I want her punished for it." She said the words softly, like a caress, but Damien's eyes were still on me. There was such vicious hate in them, that I wondered if this man and I could possibly have any ties to each other, if my existence was just an uncomfortable reminder to him that I was his mate. Maybe they would have still killed me even if I hadn't caught them in my past life—merely because they hated me. Why did I think I could relive a life with a man who hated me so much? Did I forget the look in his eyes before he took my life in the past? "No need. The maid disrespected me by coming into my room without my permission, I will deal with her." Horror filled me, and I gasped. "She didn't come in. She didn't see anything. I swear on it. If you want
