LUNA AQUAMARINE’S POV“Luna did that to her own stepsister?”I stopped, one foot mid-step.“I heard she threw her out in front of everyone,” another voice whispered. I stayed hidden around the corner, the wall pressing cold against my arm.“That’s not even the worst,” the first voice lowered. “She made Elder Marcus and some other members leave the meeting before it even started. Who does that?”“I guess her visit to Naturellia changed her,” someone else said. “The Luna used to be sweet and nice. Now she acts like this.”I didn’t have to wonder who planted those words. Fiona’s voice wasn’t here, but her fingerprints were all over them.“Poor Fiona,” one of them added. “She just wanted to check on her sister after seeing her for the first time in months. She’s too kind for her own good.”Kind?I nearly laughed. Fiona could grow white wings, wear white robes with a golden halo on her head while twisting a dagger into my heart.They kept going.“But do you think the Luna has always been

LUNA AQUAMARINE’S POV There was this ringing in my ears that made my blood run cold.What?“My…. My old pack?”He stayed silent long enough that I almost ripped my hand back. Heat surged into my throat, hotter than the burn on my skin. He had taken them from me. “You sent them to my old pack! Why would you do that? Even if you wanted her out of here you shouldn't have sent her back there, Alex,” I cried. I caught the faintest flicker in his eyes. The kind that told me he had already anticipated my reaction. For a moment I thought he’d shut me down again. But instead, he dragged a chair closer, sat down and just stared at me.“What I did,” he said at last, voice low and measured, “was for the best.”“For the best?” I repeated, dumbfounded. “You sent Kath back to the same wolves who threw us away. The same ones who treated me like an abomination since the day I was born.” My chest seized, nails digging into my palm. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? What they would do to her? B

PRIMUS ALEXANDER'S POV Her words still echoed in my skull, loud enough to drown the pounding in my chest. “Just now,” she stammered. “But it caught fire and then…” she trailed off.“Then what!”She flinched and stepped back. Her white eyes were wide in fear. “Nothing. It just caught fire.”A part of me hated myself for it, but the rest of me… the rest of me knew softness would only damn us both.Should I be just like that? Soft about the strangeness she has been experiencing?She met my gaze. Her white eyes were roaming mine as she spoke. “First, it was because I mistakenly marked you, then later, it was because of a scroll, and recently it was the Core Fang. And now, it’s this book?” Her voice came out low. “Why do you always look at me like I’ve done something wrong?” Her words hit a nerve. One I had been asking myself for weeks. Why do I always look at her like she even knew anything? She's not in control of her destiny and wherever is thrown to her.“It’s your pack, Alexander.

PRIMUS ALEXANDER'S POV Fiona.Her name hissed through my mind like a threat I hadn’t prepared for. The weight of her beneath me made every instinct coil tight in my chest. I pushed up fast, dragging air into my lungs that wasn’t saturated with her scent.She scrambled back, brushing dust from her skirt, lips parting as though she meant to speak. “Primus—”“Watch where you walk,” I cut in. My voice cracked through the silence of the hall, more like a growl than words.Her throat bobbed. Wide eyes, trembling hands. Submission rolled off her in waves, the way it should.“I’m almost done with the task you gave and I was thinking I’d share the information with you,” she said quickly.“You’re to report to Levi and Aaron. Not me.”“I know but I noticed something only—”“I believe you heard me the first time.” I didn’t wait for her response. My boots carried me forward, faster, heavier.I didn’t like the way she tried to slip past the order, as though my attention were hers to claim. Boldne

LUNA AQUAMARINE'S POVThe gown clung wrong against my skin. Every brush of the fabric over the healing burn made me want to tear it off, but I gritted my teeth and pulled the ties tighter. I caught my reflection in the mirror—pale, tired, eyes ringed with shadows. The one whom the Primus had abandoned for her stepsister.But right now, I'm supposed to be the Luna. I forced my shoulders back and lifted my chin.The door opened, and Alexander’s shadow fell over me. I could feel his glare and anger brushing over the top of my head. Why?Because I bit him after he pulled me out of the bathtub while I was trying to tug off the bandage. But I ignored his presence. Not wanting to even be close to him or even hear his voice. So I walked past him, out of the room and down the corridor, till I could hear the chatters coming from the hall below.The noise dulled as soon as we entered. Heads turned. The weight of their stares pressed down on me. Some had their eyes narrowed as they saw me. M
