**Ashley's POV** Where the fuck is that low-life bitch? A voice growled from the dining room, sharp and mean, cutting through the air like a knife. I was in the kitchen, trying to steady myself, gripping the edges of a big wooden tray loaded with steaming plates of food. My hands were shaking, and I hated it—hated how their words pierced straight through my chest, making my heart ache like it was bruised. Laughter followed, loud and cruel, echoing off the walls as I forced my feet to move, carrying the tray toward the dining room. I stepped into the room, keeping my head down, eyes glued to the floor. The plates clinked softly as I set them in front of the people sitting around the huge dining table, their voices still buzzing with mockery. I didn’t look at them. I couldn’t. If I did, I’d see their smug faces, their eyes glinting with that same old disgust they always had specially for me. I turned on my heel, quick as I could, and headed back to the kitchen to grab the rest of the

Then, a month after Katrina and Adrian were paired, she found her fated mate. The real deal, the one the Moon Goddess picks for you. And what did she do? She rejected him. Flat-out turned her back on her true mate to stay with Adrian, to keep her shiny Luna title. I don’t know if it was love or power she was chasing, but it made me sick. Still does. She parades around like she’s untouchable, lording it over everyone, especially me.Katrina came back into the dining room, brushing past me where I stood against the wall, trying to fade into the background. I kept my head down, desperate to avoid their never-ending drama. Then a loud crash split the air—glass shattering on the hardwood floor, wine splattering like blood. “Oops,” Katrina said, her voice dripping with fake innocence as she turned to me. “Looks like you now have something to keep you busy instead of standing here being lazy.” I bit my lip hard and dropped to my knees, picking up the broken pieces of glass. *I’m used to this

I served dinner, moving quick and quiet around the dining room, setting plates in front of the pack members without making a sound. Katrina’s glare burned into me the whole time, her eyes like daggers sharp enough to slice through my skin. If looks could kill, I’d be a goner, sprawled out on the floor. I kept my head down, focusing on the plates, the clink of silverware, anything but her. After serving, I stepped to the side, same as always, waiting to clean up their mess when they were done. My spot by the wall felt like a cage, but I stood there, hands clasped, face blank.The rest of the evening dragged on without any big blowups, thank the Moon Goddess. Katrina kept up her death stare, though, and gave Adrian the cold shoulder for not jumping in to punish me earlier. I could feel her stewing, her anger like a storm cloud hanging over the table. In the back of my mind, I knew she wasn’t gonna let this go. Katrina didn’t just drop things—she’d keep poking, scheming, waiting for her

With my wolf awake inside me, every move I made was quicker, smoother, like I was gliding through the kitchen. My senses were sharper too—I could hear the low murmur of conversations from the dining hall, not just the usual yells or loud laughter that used to be all I could pick up.I carried the breakfast trays out, keeping my eyes down as I set plates in front of the pack members. Adrian wasn’t there, but I placed his and Katrina’s plates anyway, then turned to grab the rest from the kitchen. When I came back, trays balanced carefully in my hands, I saw them coming down the stairs together, hand in hand. My breath caught in my throat, like someone had punched me in the chest. I froze, staring at Adrian as he yanked his hand away from Katrina’s, like her touch had burned him.He started walking toward me, slow and deliberate, the air between us growing heavy, thick with something I couldn’t name. For a split second, I saw it—his wolf, rising to the surface, his eyes flashing with som

I must have eventually drifted to sleep because next I woke up, it was almost morning, and I could hear the distant howl of wolves and birds chirping outside. I envied them—their freedom, their ease, the way they didn’t carry the weight of a pack’s expectations or a heart full of questions. Today was Iron Fang’s big anniversary ceremony, the ninety-sixth, and I had no time to lie around. I dragged myself out of bed, my chest still heavy with thoughts of Adrian, Alexa, and what might happen next. I hurried to the kitchen, my feet moving faster than my mind could keep up.The kitchen was already buzzing when I got there. For once, the other cooks and omegas were pitching in, everyone rushing around, decorating tables, arranging trays, making sure every detail was perfect for the big day. Katrina, of course, was playing her role as the loud, bossy inspector, strutting around yelling orders at everyone. But not at me. Not a single word came my way, which set my nerves on edge. Katrina did

I left the kitchen and go changed into the dress, it was a strapless dress that hugged me so well, showing all my curves, I walked with shaky steps up the stairs and when I reached the door she had mentioned I knocked and no reply came, I debated whether to talk back but before I knew it I stretched my hand and pushed it slightly open then a hand grabbed me from inside drawing me, in a swift motion they pinned me to the wall trying to kiss me but I moved my face away, who are you please let me go, I said struggling to get free from the broad shouldered man who was trying to force himself on me now, please I begged but he wasn’t having it, he reeked of alcohol and just then I heard footsteps and Katrina and Adrian came into view, he looked shocked and furious while she stood behind him with a smirk. “You little bitch, can’t keep your dirty little self one place, you’re now going about seducing alphas and getting in their beds,” Adrian bellowed, his voice loud and bitter. My eyes wide

I ran until the pack house was far behind me, my wolf howling loud in my head, urging me on. My legs burned, and my body ached from the long day’s work, but I didn’t stop. Part of me wished running could end it all—wished I could just keep going until I dropped and didn’t have to feel this pain anymore. But I kept pushing forward, feet pounding against the earth, not caring where I was headed. By the time I finally slowed down, the night had deepened, probably close to midnight. I found a sturdy tree and climbed up, settling myself across a wide branch, hoping I wouldn’t roll off in my sleep. Exhaustion hit me hard, pulling me under, and I didn’t even try to stop the tears streaming down my face as I drifted off. The next morning, I woke to the sound of birds chirping and small animals scurrying through the underbrush. I had nothing with me—no food, no supplies—just me and my wolf. I’d have to rely on her to get through this. I slid down from the tree, landing softly on the ground, a

She tilted her head, studying me like I was some puzzle she was trying to piece together. “Oh? Then who are you? A runaway?” Her voice wasn’t mocking, but it carried a challenge, like she was testing me. “None of your business,” I shot back, turning my back to her, ready to walk away and leave this whole mess behind. “You’re in my territory,” she called after me, her voice steady and sure. “This is my land.” I froze, then spun around to face her. “Your lands?” I said, my tone dripping with skepticism. “This isn’t pack territory.” “It’s my pack territory,” she cut me off, her eyes never wavering. There was no hint of doubt in her, no hesitation. I stared at her, searching for a lie, but she didn’t flinch under my gaze. “Right,” I muttered, looking away, suddenly unable to meet her eyes. “I’ll leave. I swear I’ll never come back. I didn’t even know this place was claimed.” “Who are you?” she asked again, her voice quieter now, almost curious. “Nobody,” I said, turning away

In a world where survival meant different things to different people, strength was everything to some, while others clung to silence and obedience just to make it through another day. Some saw life as a game, clawing their way to the top no matter the cost, while others scraped by, longing only for peace and a moment of quiet. Ashley Parker existed in this world, but not among those who ruled. She was at the bottom, scraping through a life that seemed determined to break her. If you asked Ashley about fate, she’d tell you it was cruel—viciously so. Why else would the Moon Goddess strip her of her family, leaving her alone in a pack that despised her? And just when she thought she could escape the hatred and abuse, fate tied her to the one person who loathed her most, for reasons she could never quite understand. Adrian stood frozen in the doorway, his mind reeling from what he’d just done. His hands, still tingling from the force of the slap he’d delivered, hung limply at his sides.

The night was already late, but Adrian couldn’t sleep. His mind was a chaotic mess, replaying the moment he’d rejected Ashley over and over—the sting of his hand as it connected with her face, the betrayal in her eyes as she turned and ran. Katrina was still there, hovering nearby, her voice soft and coaxing as she tried to come up with another excuse to keep him from leaving. “Adrian, you need to stay,” she said, her tone almost pleading. “You’re upset. Let me help you.” But he couldn’t stand to hear it. Her words felt like chains, trying to tether him to a mistake he couldn’t undo. Without responding, he walked out of the pack house, the door swinging shut behind him. His wolf, usually a constant presence in his mind, had gone silent, retreating so far that Adrian felt hollow. It terrified him. An alpha without a wolf? “Damn stupid,” he muttered under his breath, his voice thick with self-loathing. “What was I thinking?” He’d let Alessandro’s lies and Katrina’s manipulations cloud
