Chapter 1

I woke up choking on dirt, it felt cold and damp on my tongue, filling my throat, my nose…my mouth. I couldn’t scream or breathe, my chest jerked up like it forgot how to work, like it didn’t belong to me anymore.My hands moved before my mind did, my fingers scraping at something rough, hard and…wooden, splinters sliced my skin and dug under my nails, something cracked above me and everything was too close, heavy and dark.I was underground but I wasn’t supposed to be…was I?.“Where…?” I croaked, my voice hoarse and broken, but barely a whisper. “Where am I?”No answer, just the groan of the earth above me.I pushed harder, my arms shaking, with bruised wrists, I didn’t know what I was doing, I just knew that I had to get out, I had to move from whatever this was, my legs kicked uselessly against wood, mud, and roots, but I didn’t stop, I couldn’t stop.“Please,” I muttered, to the earth or to the Moon, I didn’t know, I wasn't sure at this point. “Please, not like this…not again.”T

Chapter 2

The kitchen was too hot and loud, and it smelled like burning onions and sweat. A sensation that stung my eyes badly but I kept my head down, hands moving fast, peeling, chopping, scraping, and trying not to draw attention, trying to be invisible.They shoved past me and threw scraps at me, called me names like it was my job to absorb them, and maybe it was, maybe that’s what being omega meant, taking hits, swallowing shame, and pretending it didn’t matter“Faster, rat,” one of the head cooks snapped, tossing a cloth at my face, it hit me hard enough to stumble, but I didn’t flinch, I just nodded and kept going.“Stars above, do you even know how to hold a knife properly?” another scoffed, slamming a basket of potatoes onto the counter. “It’s like watching a squirrel trying to sew.”“She probably eats with her hands,” one of the scullery girls added with a snort. “Omegas don’t need manners. They just need to stay out of the way.”I kept my eyes down, because it was safer that way.“Do

Chapter 3

I stared at myself in the tiny mirror nailed to the back of the storeroom door. My dress was plain and slightly loose at the waist, patched at the sleeves and a little frayed near the hem, but I tried to smooth it down like that would change anything. My fingers were shaking and my breath kept coming too fast.This was it.The day the Moon chose.The day Kael said everything would change.I touched the spot over my heart, where the warmth of our bond had first sparked the night he held me like I was his universe. I still felt it, like a thread tied between us, thrumming faintly under my skin.“Don’t embarrass the pack,” one of the older omegas hissed as she walked past me, with arms full of linens.“Keep your head down. Don’t stare too long. No one wants to see the help fawning.”I didn’t answer. I just turned away and exhaled, slow and trembling.Outside, the ceremony drums began to echo.The halls shimmered with golden candlelight, flower garlands hung from archways, and the scent o

Chapter 4

I didn’t cryEven as I staggered through the cold, down the worn path that wound through the woods like a scar, even as the pain burned beneath my ribs like fire licking the edges of my bones, I didn’t cry.The trees whispered above me, the wind pushing through their branches like it mourned something. Me, maybe.I didn’t know how long I had been walking. Minutes, hours, days maybe. The stars shifted. The moon slid higher, casting a pale silver light across the frost-laced leaves, but I kept walking.Away.I didn’t look back, not at the hall where they cheered for Astra.Not at the gates where Kael had turned his back.My breath stuttered. My legs trembled. Something inside me twisted again. That same strange pressure I’d felt since the morning Kael last kissed me behind the herb garden.I pressed a hand to my stomach and there was no more wondering.I know now. I was pregnant.With his child.A tiny flicker of life pulsed beneath my palm. Weak, barely-there… but still real.And I was

Chapter 5

The report came in at dawn.I was in the war chamber, staring down at territory maps when Mateo burst in, breathless and wide eyed with something I hadn’t seen in a long time…fear.“There’s someone at the border,” he said.I didn’t even look up. “Then deal with it.”“She looks like her,” he whispered.I paused. “Who?”“Eva.”My throat closed for a second.Then I laughed.It was dry, sharp and humorless.“You stir me at dawn to tell me ghosts are strolling across pack borders now?” I said, still not looking up. “Get some sleep, Mateo.”“She crossed the border near the willow,” he added quietly.I stopped breathing and everything inside me stilled.The willow.I hadn’t gone near that place in years, I couldn’t.Mateo stood there, waiting silently. My heartbeat felt like thunder in my chest.“It’s not her,” I said, finally. “Eva died.”“No body was ever recovered,” he said.My fist slammed into the table, cracking the corner of the map tile. “She died.”Seven years.Seven years since I m
