She had been living here for six months, and her experience had been nothing short of tumultuous. Although she wished for a different reality, she found herself immersed in lessons on etiquette.The situation began to unfold two weeks after her arrival. Initially resistant, she soon realized there was no one to confide in; she often thought about how much easier it would be if Alpha Altair were present.To her surprise, she found herself longing for his company, as she struggled to communicate with the pack members. Unsure of how to navigate her new environment, she simply complied with whatever instructions were given to her.Now, six months later, she was left wondering when he would arrive to reject her, as she felt she had reached her breaking point.One afternoon after class, she wandered into the garden, a new habit she had developed. The flowers were in full bloom, and this serene space provided her with an unexpected sense of tranquility, allowing her to momentarily forget her

She was immersed in pristine waters, embellished with the most exquisite fragrance, and dressed in a delicate nightgown, preparing to spend the evening with her partner.For Maya, this all felt so soon; she was still navigating the depths of her grief. Although months had passed, the ache lingered, refusing to fade.Then she recalled his words after they had marked each other: "You have a new family now." Those words brought tears to her eyes as she admired her reflection in the mirror, her hand instinctively reaching to touch the mark he had left on her.She had not anticipated the bite would evoke such pleasure; initially painful, it soon transformed into a tingling sensation in her stomach. She couldn't quite identify that feeling, but it was one she enjoyed.A maid knocked on the door, announcing, "The alpha is on his way." The other maid, who had been preparing her for the evening, quickly bowed their head and exited, leaving Maya alone.

Alpha Kendrick was granted entry, striding in with an air of authority as he followed the butler. As he surveyed his surroundings, he realized that the crimson pack was everything he had heard, igniting a deep-seated jealousy within him. The fact that he was now a subordinate to Alpha Altair infuriated him; he despised everything about the situation and would not hesitate to eliminate both Altair and his so-called mate if given the opportunity.A large door swung open, and Alpha Kendrick was ushered inside. At the center of the room stood an elegantly arranged table with chairs, where Alpha Altair occupied the head seat, while a delicate figure sat with her back to Kendrick.Upon entering, Kendrick's posture shifted dramatically; the confidence he had exuded moments before was replaced by a demeanor more befitting one of Alpha Altair's servants. "Greetings, Alpha Altair," he said with forced politeness.Altair merely hummed in response, a slight smile gracing his lips. "I believe I a

“You actually make me laugh, Alpha Kendrick.”Maya rose slowly from her seat, her chin high, her voice cold as steel. Her eyes bore down on Kendrick, who sat stiffly at the long dining table like a king without a crown. “How does it feel? Tell me, how does it feel knowing the woman you once desired—whose entire family you had slaughtered, who you had bound, beaten, humiliated—now stands above you, untouched and stronger than ever?”She stepped closer, her presence like a shadow looming over his once-proud frame. “Does it make you feel pathetic? Worthless?”Kendrick’s nostrils flared. With a furious roar, he slammed his fist against the table. Plates jumped, cutlery clattered. In a blur of movement, he was on his feet and at her side. His eyes—once bright with arrogance—now burned with rage, glowing like fire trapped behind ice.Still, Maya didn’t flinch.He grabbed her chin, rough fingers pressing into her skin as he forced her to look up at him. “Don’t test me, woman,” he growled, h
