MINA I didn’t fear wearing the same dress.It was a natural occurrence. People buy from the same shop, like the same shade, and get drawn to the same fabrics. It wasn’t uncommon—especially in this party where half the guests seemed to be competing for “Most Elegant.”That wasn’t what made me apprehensive. What scared me was the fact that it was Amara.Amara made a big deal out of everything.“I have to go,” I whispered to Elias. The whispers were getting louder, and the moment I saw her descending the staircase with her eyes locked on me like a hawk zeroing in on prey, I knew what was coming.Elias' grip tightened at my waist.“Elias, let go. Really.”This time, I wasn’t joking. He must have heard the seriousness and urgency in my tone because he loosened his hand immediately.I stepped back, ready to disappear behind the crowd, but chaos seemed to follow me like a loyal pet, because Amara did not let me escape.She walked straight toward us, chin raised. And the moment she stopped

MINAThe moment we were finally out of everyone’s sight, away from curious eyes, I rounded on Elias and began smacking his shoulders with all the outrage I had stored up.“Why would you do that? In front of so many people?” I whined as my hands kept landing on him. “Why would you—ugh—do that to me?”He didn’t even dodge. He stood there, towering over me like an annoyingly immovable wall. His arms were relaxed at his sides, his expression unbothered by my flailing. He just watched me, his brows slowly lowering from amusement to concern.“Are you okay?” he asked.That stopped me mid-swing.“Huh?” I muttered.His voice wasn’t teasing or smug. He actually sounded serious. “Amara exposed you without your consent,” he said softly. “How was it? Are you okay?”Something in his eyes made me forget my irritation and flustered embarrassment. I let out a long breath and looked away, really thinking about how I felt.“It wasn’t bad,” I admitted slowly. “I thought that… being revealed to the worl

MINAI couldn’t help the smile stretching across my face even though Tessa and Arden were already gone. My cheeks actually hurt from how hard I was trying not to beam. Meanwhile, Elias was slumped on the couch. “What’s wrong?” I asked, walking closer.He lifted his head, lips pressed together. “You,” he muttered. “You seem very happy.”“I am,” I admitted instantly, still smiling like a fool. “Tessa and Arden just asked me to be friends.”“That’s what made you this happy?”I nodded proudly.He dragged a hand down his face. “Meanwhile, you caused a stir-up with everything.”“What do you mean?”He sat up, exasperation rolling off him. “Rowan and Cade thought I was exploiting you.”“You aren’t,” I reminded him. “I told them that.”He gave me a look. “But you told them you held onto my coc—”He cut himself off with a sharp inhale.“Okay, let’s not talk about it.”“But it’s true,” I said again, because it was.He gave me a tortured look. “Yes, it’s true, but Mina, good gods.”He rubbed bo

MINAThe road back to Elias’ family estate somehow felt shorter than yesterday… or maybe I was just getting used to this place. We were heading to have breakfast with his parents before going back to Montrose for the trial. I didn’t know how long we’d have to stay there. However, I woke up this morning hearing Elias quietly talking to his mom on the phone. I could hear her crying even through my slumber, saying something along the lines of, “My baby is leaving me again.” I felt quite bad; however, Elias seemed used to it already. The moment we stepped out of the car, Elias held onto my hand and gave it a light squeeze. “Don’t worry,” he said. “My cousins aren’t here. It’s just my mom and dad.”He was so much gentler today. I still wasn’t used to it. However, his words did make me relax a little. I wasn’t wearing my cloak today—my new resolution, apparently—so the cold breeze hit me directly. It felt quite refreshing. We entered the foyer and passed several maids and workers. I fe

MINA “Is it really you, Miss Mina?” one of them asked.I looked up slowly. The two guards stood a few steps away from me, both still visibly rattled from the discovery of Rowena’s empty cell. One of them was the same guard who’d been nervously explaining procedures earlier. The other looked younger, holding his spear a little too tightly. I studied them for a second longer than necessary.“How do you know me?” I asked.The younger one scratched the back of his head. “I saw you at the lantern party,” he said. “You were wearing the cloak, right? You were dancing with Alpha Elias. I think… well, I think everybody knows who you are now.”The other guard nodded quickly. “Yeah. We just didn’t expect you to be this… pretty.”I pursed my lips.“Well,” I said, “thank you, I guess.”Both of them froze.“No—no,” the first one rushed out, flailing his hands. “That came out wrong. It’s because we also know you from Rowena’s stories.” “Stories?” I repeated.They exchanged a look, then the younge
