**Reika**I didn't let a crack appear through the mask I wore as Kyren escorted me back to my chambers, didn't as much as flinch as the fabric of my dress rubbed against the burn on my arm.I smiled gently to the maid s that worked last and released a sigh by the time I was safely in my bedroom.“Do you need anything?” Kyren asked, his hands around the doorknob.“No. I'm fine.” He nodded and closed the door. As he left I hurried to the key hole to make sure he was totally gone before crumbling against the door and slipping to the ground.The proud and unruffled expression I wore cracked, my stomach twisted in on itself and a shiver worked its way through my back.I folded my arms around my knees, rocking myself back and forth to cool the tremors that flooded my body.My burial. I was about to be buried.For the past few days, it didn't seem real. It was almost like I was in a simulation but now it all became clear.I was really dead. Gone from the life I knew, the life I cherished an

**Reika/Zara**“You really don't have to stay.” I mumbled to Kyren as he stood in a corner watching as the doctor wiped off the ointment Myron used earlier and examined the burns carefully.“Alpha’s order my lady.” Kyren smiled.I exhaled, rolled my eyes and returned my gaze to the red patch on my arm.The doctor produced an ointment, a bit similar to what Myron used on me earlier and applied it against the wound.A hiss escaped my lips as the ointment stung and emitted a dense minty scent in the air.“Make sure to cover it up when you have your bath and apply the balm to it twice daily. The burns should fade within a few days.” She spoke.I blew air against the spot, dragged my fingers over it and nodded.“Thank you.” I answered and walked out of the examination room.Kyren accompanied me, walking a safe distance away from me, yet close enough to catch me in case I tried anything funny.Goddess knows what that brute Stephan had told him.“Kyren, why did the Alpha leave abruptly? I ex

**Stephan**My body alarm didn't hesitate to rouse me awake despite how crazy every part of me tried to resist.I cracked my eyes open, the mere act sending my head banging and my muscles clenching in pain.I curled my palms, pushed off the blanket that was folded over my body away and sat upright.I dragged a finger over my eyes, wiping the traces of sleep and intoxication that filled it.“I know, I know. I'm sorry.” I mumbled to my wolf who was growling in my ears, its claws making a distinct scratching sound in my ears.I knew the repercussions for taking so much alcohol was going to be much but I didn't expect it to be this crazy. And my wolf was definitely having none of it.To think I'd have a wolf who strongly disliked alcohol. Like I didn't have enough problems already.I leaned against the head board, my arm still shielding my eyes from the harsh blur of light filtering into the room through the partly opened windows when my nose detected a strange scent in the air.I turned

**Reika/Zara**I stuck out my tongue at Stephan's closed door, made a punching gesture with my hands curled before stomping away from the room.Why did he always find ways to get under my skin?Well, I had achieved phase one of my plan to stay alive in this body. I just needed to trace Zara's identity and find out how she became embroiled in a secret organisation before the time was up.As I walked down the corridor, I flipped through the pages of the file, my fingers tracing an address written at the corner of the page.Zara isn't originally a member of Raven Claw pack but from a distant land called Arragroove.Arragroove? The name sounded so familiar yet strange.Where have I come across a place like that? If I wasn't mistaken, it was one of the small towns scattered around the kingdom.Was it eradicated? There was barely any information on it.How did she find herself in Raven Claw?My brain crunched up information, racing through the memories of towns I worked with as an Alpha i

**Reika/Zara**Stephan’s stare made my body feel like it was engulfed in flames. I looked away to hide the blush that stained my cheeks and approached him.The gown felt moulded to my skin, following every move I made.My fingers grazed the jewels that adorned my neck, a knot sprang in my stomach as I recalled a time when I was clothed in nothing but the finest jewels every time.A period that made me feel like I was untouchable. Unhurt. Unbothered by anything.Until Kaid came and I made him the center of my world. I took off my jewels and took up the responsibility of leadership without holding the position and made it my entire purpose to please a man who never saw me.I became invincible in my own kingdom.I sniffed, blinked off the tears that blurred my sight and stepped close to Stephan who still seemed like he was in a trance.“Geez, isn't your reaction too much? Don't forget, you're supposed to hate—oh my gosh! Stephan, you have a nose bleed.” I cried, immediately digging into
