Chapter Two - I Don't Belong Here Anymore Selene's POV I wasn't going to pass through the living room. I swear I wasn't. I needed to get my old book from the bookshelf next to the hallway though. I walked low. I didn't want to disturb anyone. But then… I saw them. He was on the couch. My mate. And she, Mira, was on his lap. Laughing. Moaning. Her hands all over him. His mouth on her neck. His hands under her skirt. There. At my dad's house. In the living room pack where I sat with him… where we once spoke of what was to come. I froze. I couldn't breathe. It felt as though someone had struck all the air from my chest. I wanted to turn around and run. But Mira saw me. And grinned. That malicious, evil grin. "Oh, Selene, “ she cried out, her voice big and insincere sweet. "Would you pour me a glass of water, please? I'm getting a little warm… " And then she looked down at her clothes like she was blushing, but her eyes were sparkling with amusement.

Chapter Four — Not Yet Time Selene's POV I didn't sleep. Not really. I closed my eyes, but my heart didn't slow down. Kael's voice. Mira's laughter. the door slamming shut on me—all of them echoed in my head like a curse. I didn't fit. Not here. Not in this cabin. Not in Ronan's world. Not even in my pack anymore. I pulled the blanket down and slowly got out of the bed. I was trembling in my legs, but I didn't mind. I had to leave. I had to face him. I didn't mind if I killed myself. He had taken everything. My father's home. My title. My heart. Even my pride. I tied the thin shawl around me and caught hold of the door. The cold wind hit me the moment I stepped outside, and it was nice. The trees stood still, the moon bright and watchful. Maybe my father was watching too. I wished he were. I wished he knew how broken I was. I didn't get very far Three steps in the snow and my knees gave way. I fell hard—face first onto the cold ground. I did not scream

Chapter Six: Him Selene's POV The trees whispered around us as we walked in silence. Ronan said nothing, and neither did I. The forest floor was soft beneath our boots. Sunlight slipped through the leaves above, dancing on our faces as we moved deeper, farther, into the quiet heart of the woods. I didn't ask where we were going. Something in my chest already knew. We finally stopped in a small clearing. It was silent here. There were no twisted thorns. No suffocating shadows. Just light. Just air. In the center of the clearing was a flat, smooth rock covered in moss and wildflowers. Someone—Ronan, maybe—had placed fresh white petals upon it. My breath caught when I saw the symbol carved into the rock. My father's crest. My legs grew suddenly heavy. This… was where he was buried. Tears welled up in my eyes before I could stop them. Ronan stepped aside, giving me space. I didn't look at him. I walked slowly forward to the stone, knelt down, and put both ha

Chapter Eight: The Crown That BurnedSelene’s POVThe sun rose like it always did, but nothing felt normal.Today was the day.The day they would give Kael the real crown. The final ceremony. Once that crown touched his head, he would become Alpha forever.But not if we stopped it first.I stood quietly behind the trees, dressed in the Luna robe Ronan gave me. The fabric was soft and cool, deep blue like the midnight sky. On my chest was my father’s crest. My hands trembled, but I kept them still.Beside me were Ronan and Lucien. Ronan’s face was calm, but I could feel the tension in him. We had the crown. It was hidden, far from Kael’s reach. Lucien made sure of that.I could hear the music starting. The wolves were gathering. I peeked through the trees.Kael stood at the front, tall in his silver-trimmed armor. Mira stood beside him, glowing and proud, her hand resting on her stomach like she already ruled us all.The crowd clapped. Flowers were thrown. Elders stood behind Kael, pre

Chapter Ten: The AmbushSelene’s POVThe morning air kissed my skin gently as Ronan and I walked deeper into the woods for training. The leaves rustled above us, sunlight leaking through the trees in soft beams. The forest was quiet, peaceful—like it was holding its breath for something we couldn’t see.I looked up at him as he walked beside me, carrying two wooden staffs for combat. His jaw was set, but his eyes flicked to mine every now and then, softening each time they met me. My heart beat just a little faster.After everything, this forest had become our space. Ours alone.We reached the clearing, the same place where he had first taught me to fall without fear. To bleed and keep standing. I dropped my bag and took a breath, stretching.Ronan grinned and tossed me one of the staffs. “Let’s see if you still remember what I taught you yesterday.”I caught it midair and gave him a smirk. “You’re the one who should be scared.”We laughed. There was something easy about this. Natural
