Chapter 21

Alpha Ellison.The knock at my study door came all of a sudden—three rapid taps that broke the quiet hum of paperwork and my brewing headache.“Come in,” I called, not lifting my eyes from the folder in front of me.One of my most trusted guards, entered, his face unusually tense. He clutched a thick file and a tablet, the kind of combination that usually meant bad news.“It’s about the accident, Alpha,” he said.My fingers froze mid-page. “Go on.”He set the folder down on the desk, sliding the tablet toward me. “We’ve reviewed the vehicle diagnostics. The brakes were tampered with—cut clean through. Whoever did it knew what they were doing. It wasn’t an accident.”I stared at the images on the screen—clear visuals of severed brake lines and time-stamped footage of the garage. My heart slowed to a dangerous calm.“CCTV?” I asked, my voice like the edge of a blade.“We’re combing through the palace’s cameras now. The footage from the garage was partially deleted, but we’re trying to r

Chapter 22

Alpha Ellison.I leapt from the pool, water streaming from my body as I yanked my robe over my shoulders. “Nolan!” I barked, not waiting for his reply as I bolted toward the palace.Lucy was already behind me, bare feet slapping against the marble floors. We raced through the halls, the scent of something acrid and wrong drifting into my nose the closer we got.Lucy’s door was ajar.I slammed it open and halted in my tracks.Nolan was crouched in the corner, her tiny frame trembling like a leaf in a storm. Her eyes were wide and soaked with tears, a choked whimper escaping her throat as she looked at me.“Goodness…” Lucy whispered behind me, frozen.I stepped forward, slowly, carefully, and lowered myself to one knee before Nolan. “Nolan,” I said gently, trying to keep the growl out of my voice. “Can you tell me what happened? You don't have to dear anymore, your uncle is here.”Her finger shot out, trembling as it pointed toward the far corner of the room.I turned my head.My jaw cl

Chapter 23

Lucy.The palace was nothing like the quiet grove I’d grown up in, but slowly, ever so slowly, I was beginning to find my footing here. The walls, tall and gilded, no longer felt like prison bars. The servants no longer flinched at my approach. And Alpha Ellison’s nephew, Nolan, had become a light in my day that I didn’t know I needed.Nolan was only three, but clever beyond his years, and with a mischievous grin that reminded me of my little self. Every afternoon, he would sneak into my wing of the palace with a wooden sword and declare he was there to protect me from “evil dragons.”“You know,” I told him one day as we sat by the window, watching the sparrows peck at crumbs in the courtyard, “if you keep skipping your lessons, I’ll have to tell your uncle.”He pouted. “But you’re more fun than Lady Miriam and her boring history scrolls.”I laughed, ruffling his hair. “Flattery will get you nowhere, little wolf.”He grinned and tackled me in a hug, his small arms wrapping tight aroun

Chapter 24

Lucy.The door creaked open behind me.“I saw what happened.”I turned sharply.Elizabeth stood just inside the doorway, her hands wringing together. Her pale face was flushed with worry, and her apron was stained from her hasty retreat from the kitchen. Wasn't she the same person they said was on a leave? Or was I dreaming?“How long were you watching?” I asked, my voice too brittle.“Long enough.” She shut the door softly behind her and stepped closer. “Lucy... what happened in there? You should be burned. That water was boiling.”I swallowed hard, refusing to look at her. “I don’t know.”“That’s not good enough,” she pressed. “Omegas don’t heal like that. No wolves do not heal like that, not even Alphas. Unless you’re something else.”I turned away, walked toward the mirror, and stared at my reflection. My face looked normal. Pale, tired. But behind my eyes, a storm brewed.“I’m tired, Elizabeth.”“I know you are,” she said gently, “but I need to understand. I’m trying to help you.

Chapter 25

Lucy.Was he serious?I blinked, my breath catching in my throat. Ethan’s words echoed in my head like a broken record, skipping, repeating, grating.He wanted to mark me?“Don’t look so surprised,” Ethan murmured, his voice low, dangerous, and way too close to my face. Before I could step back—or even think about stepping back—he moved in. So close there was no space left between us, just heat, pressure, and the maddening scent of his breath. Our noses nearly touched. My back hit the cold wall behind me with a soft thud, and he was suddenly everywhere—in my space, in my lungs, under my skin.“What will it be, Lucy?” he asked, pinning me there with nothing but his arms and that damned, unrelenting gaze. His eyes weren’t just looking at me—they were peeling me open. “You want this... or not?”I wanted to scream. To punch him square in the jaw. But more than that—I hated myself for the skip in my heartbeat, the flutter in my stomach, the way my body didn’t move. Not even an inch. My tra

Chapter 26

Lucy.The clouds were already darkening when I left the park. I probably should’ve taken the hint, but the quiet, the breeze, being outside away from the palace gave me something I didn’t get often anymore. Space to breathe.By the time I reached the edge of the walking path, fat drops began to plop against the concrete. I pulled the hood of my sweater over my head and quickened my steps, but it didn’t help. Within seconds, it was pouring. Not the kind of drizzle you could stroll through pretending it was romantic—no, this was a full-blown downpour.I ducked under the awning of a small building near the park's edge, already soaked through and shivering. My arms crossed tight over my chest, holding the thin sweater closer, as if that could keep the chill out. Great. Just great.A pair of headlights cut through the sheets of rain and pulled up along the curb in front of me. For a moment, I froze. The windows slowly rolled down, and I found myself staring into a face I’d only ever seen i

Chapter 27

Lucy.I woke up to the soft murmur of voices outside my door and the scent of fresh pine and baked bread wafting in from the kitchen. For a moment, I lay still, willing myself to drift back into the dream I couldn’t quite remember but had left a strange ache in my chest.Then came the knock.“Lucy,” a gentle voice called—Eliza, one of the housemaids. “The Alpha asked me to inform you… there’s a small gathering tonight. For his brother’s visit.”I blinked against the soft sunlight pouring through the window. “A party?” I asked, my voice hoarse from sleep.“Yes, Miss. Just something simple. But he’d like everyone to attend.”Of course he would. “Okay,” I murmured, dragging myself out of bed. “Thanks.”She left, and I was alone again. Alone with a twisting feeling in my gut.By the time the party began, the estate had transformed. Soft lanterns swayed above the courtyard, casting golden light on the polished stone floor. Music floated on the warm evening breeze, and people were already s

Chapter 28

Lucy.I stared into the mirror, trying to convince myself that the words I’d just heard weren’t true. That I hadn’t felt the pull, that searing, soul-deep connection when Alpha Ellison touched me. But denial was a fragile thing, and it shattered the moment I locked eyes with my reflection.“He’s your mate,” Elizabeth repeated gently, her voice calm but firm. “Lucy, breathe. This isn’t bad news.”I gripped the marble counter of the washroom, my knuckles turning white. My breath hitched in my throat. “Not bad news? He’s the Alpha King, Liz. And I’m what? A breeder? A servant?”Elizabeth gave a soft laugh, though her eyes stayed serious. “That doesn’t matter anymore. If you’re his mate, that changes everything. You could be Luna.”I blinked. The word Luna sounded foreign, like it belonged to someone else. Someone worthy. I looked at Elizabeth, her presence comforting, grounding me in this whirlwind. But the truth was a storm inside my chest—chaotic, deafening, impossible to ignore.And t

Chapter 29

Ethan.The music pulsed like a heartbeat, loud and constant, but it did nothing to drown out the storm in my head. I was already on my third drink, though I’d lost count after the second. The whiskey burned less than I wanted it to. I needed it to scorch, to cauterize the jealousy gnawing inside my chest. But it didn’t.Across the ballroom, Lucy stood like a star in a midnight sky. She wasn’t smiling. Not at me. Not at anyone.Especially not me.She wouldn’t even look at me.She was everything I could think about—and everything I couldn’t have.“Another,” I muttered, sliding the glass toward the bartender, but before he could refill it, a firm hand clamped around my wrist.“Come with me, Ethan.” A low, commanding voice. Feminine. Cold.I turned and was met with the steely eyes of Luna Dowager.Her grip was stronger than expected, but I didn’t fight her as she pulled me away from the bar, through the crowd, and into a quiet corridor off the main ballroom. The door clicked shut behind u

Chapter 30

Lucy.His lips tasted like everything I didn’t know I needed—heat, promise, danger. Alpha Ellison’s hand cupped my jaw so gently it made my heart ache, like he was trying to memorize the shape of me, the feel of my breath against his skin.My body trembled as the kiss deepened, slow but burning, and for a moment—just a moment—I let myself sink into it. Into him.It was overwhelming. It was too much.And it was almost getting out of hand.His body pressed into mine, firm, commanding, and I felt every bit of his control slipping, mirroring my own. My breath hitched, and I opened my mouth to speak—to stop this before I fell too far—but then I heard it.A sound.A groan. Low, guttural. Male.My entire body stiffened.Alpha Ellison instantly pulled back, alert. His head whipped around toward the trees behind us. I turned as well, scanning the shadows, but nothing moved. Not a leaf. Not a branch.“Did you hear that?” I whispered, already clutching at his arm.“Yes,” he murmured. His voice h
