Zanye POV Smash! A half-empty bottle of whiskey collided with my skull, the glass shattering on impact. I could’ve dodged it. That would’ve been the easiest thing to do. But I didn’t. I let it hit me on purpose, not even flinching as my blood mixed with the whiskey, both dripping down my face. Damon was having another one of his meltdowns. And during moments like this, I was always his punching bag, both figuratively and literally. “You disobeyed me!” he snarled from across the room, his chest rising and falling fast with his claws still extended. “I told you to step back, and you ignored me. You made a fool out of me!” “You were going to kill her.” I spoke through the mind link, the only way I could, keeping my voice calm and steady. But that only set him off more. He growled, grabbing another bottle and hurling it at me. Like the first one, I didn’t move. The glass shattered against the side of my face and shoulder, sharp pain cutting through me as whiskey and blood soaked

Zanye POV He stared up at me as he finished speaking like he was waiting for a reaction. Even though he knew I wouldn’t give him one. “Is that all?” I asked through the mind link. He slowly shook his head, clicked his tongue, then abruptly stood. “We’ve been having a lot of rat infestations lately. You leave out one crumb of bread, and suddenly they’re crawling through the walls. Bold little fuckers,” he spoke. It was true. We had been dealing with actual rats. But in this context, we both knew he wasn’t talking about the kind that squeaked. He walked over to the cabinet, grabbed a bottle of whiskey, poured a glass, then traced his finger slowly along the rim before taking a sip. His steps were deliberate as he approached me, stopping just inches away. “But here’s what they forget…” He suddenly flipped the glass over, letting the whiskey spill across the floor like blood. “…this house has traps older than their worthless lives.” He leaned in, that creepy smile spreading acros

Remi POV It only lasted a few seconds, but it didn’t change what I saw. A smile. A real one, directed at me. It took me a moment to process it, but then Selene’s words echoed in my head. “It seems the Beta has taken an interest in you.” Could it be? I stared at the man sitting beside me, my heart still pounding, and I blurted the first thing that came to my mind. “Do you… like me too?” But instead of smiling again, his brows drew together in a deep frown. “Oh…” I whispered to myself, feeling a little relieved. “That’s not it…” My fingers curled around the blanket as my eyes dropped to my lap. “Then why did you help me?” I asked, still trying to make sense of it all. Why would the cold, emotionless Beta risk punishment for someone like me? A human. A courtesan. A nobody. There had to be something he wanted. There always was. He stayed quiet for a long moment. Then opened his mouth, only to close it again. “Right…” I muttered with a forced chuckle, lowering my head even mor

Remi POVSomeone whispered from the back, breaking the silence, and just like that, the crowd erupted into murmurs.“Two courtesans in a relationship? Is that even allowed?”“How long has this been going on?”“I thought they didn’t even know each other?”My ears perked at that one. A tiny corner of my lips curled up, just a bit, as a thought crossed my mind.“What are you talking about?” I yelled, acting stunned, my voice pitched just right. “Why are you so hellbent on ruining my life? You love me? Yeah, right. Like I would ever believe that bullshit. Just leave me alone… please…” I let my voice crack, just enough to sound broken.I turned away like I was walking off in defeat, and just as I expected, Nina rushed forward and grabbed my shoulder while I pretended to struggle in her grip.“No, it’s the truth,” she cried out. “I don’t know how it happened, but after our little conversation… after the kiss… I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I’m sorry I lied. But my feelings are—”“What

# 0039Remi POVAfter he finished treating my wounds and stopping the bleeding, Zanye packed up the supplies.I was still biting down on my lip from the stinging in my back when he returned, this time holding a pair of blue joggers and handing them to me.“I can wear my dress,” I said, refusing. I didn’t want to be seen wearing the Beta’s clothes.But he shook his head, grabbed the dress anyway, replaced it with the joggers, then turned his back toward me like a statue.Wait… was he seriously trying to give me privacy now?I scoffed, almost rolling my eyes. He had literally pried the dress off me earlier, but now he suddenly couldn’t look?Whatever. I wasn’t complaining.I forced myself to stand and started sliding into the joggers, which were clearly way too big for me. The legs swept across the ground like I was a kid in my dad’s clothes. The black t-shirt was no better. The whole outfit was so baggy my body was practically drowning inside it. Honestly, I looked ridiculous. I was be
