RebeccaEverything around me appeared to go into static mode.Is he awake? Like a mantra, the words kept repeating in my mind.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.I blinked foolishly when I looked at the doctor. He was conscious.He was awake right after what I had done."Rebecca."My gaze shifted to Charles.I knew I looked crazy since I had been staring at the doctor for the last few minutes, and his voice was worried and inquisitive. With wondering eyes, he added, "You should come.""He may call for you." Request me?My stomach rumbled. I was at a loss for words.I couldn't move my tongue.I was unsure about how to feel.A part of me felt ashamed, and another part was afraid.I wasn't prepared.I couldn't confront him in this manner. "I'm not able to," I blurted. The Beta gave a blink."What?" As I retreated toward the door, I blurted out, "I… I'm not clothed.""I have to tidy up.This is not how I perceive him.Please give me just a few minutes. After a moment of hesitation, he gave a slig

RebeccaSomething felt like it cracked inside my chest when he asked me to leave. I couldn't tell if it was my naive, brittle hope or my pride.This is what I wanted all along, after all. I had pleaded with the elders, prayed to the moon goddess, and negotiated a way out of this wretched situation.This alliance was never something I wanted to be forced into.And hearing him reject me in that way still stung. Nevertheless, I was relieved that he had forgotten what had transpired the previous evening.My heart felt like it was stuck in my throat the whole time, and I thought he would be furious and put me on the gallows.I was relieved, yet I still felt empty.While he was asleep, he had forgotten the brief times we had spent together.Although I had heard that people in comas could still hear, I wasn't really convinced at this point. "Rebecca?"As I emerged from the Alpha's room, the Beta shouted out to me with a curious look on his face.I gritted my teeth. I lied and said, "We're good." Even

Rebecca I couldn't recall how I arrived at my room. In one moment, I was standing in that corridor, feeling ashamed and vulnerable, and the next, I was lying on the chilly marble floor, my dress soaked with tears.To prevent myself from crying too loudly, I put both hands over my mouth, but it made no difference.Nobody would show up. The sun was still up when I dragged myself to the bed and buried myself under the sheets, but I was unable to fall asleep, and I had no idea how long I had been on the floor. In the quiet, I was confronted by the memories I had worked so hard to suppress.Everyone around me had made fun of me, and because of who I was, I had no friends.what I was. I had just walked out of that prison of a house and into another.I suppose I would never completely be able to let go of who I really was. A curse. I had been unable to defend myself in my father's home.I believed that I might have an opportunity to grow into something bigger here.However, I had been compl

John I had no idea what to anticipate. A slap. A shout. Tears, perhaps. Not this, though. She simply stood there erect, her eyes fixed on mine in a defiant manner.And the smell of her... She smelled everywhere, for heaven's sake.Wild jasmine and something darker and sweeter, like the forbidden fruit, came at me like a wave.It poured into my blood, my lungs, and my brain, and I drew forward almost unconsciously before I could stop myself.As I inhaled deeply, sniffed her neck, and allowed the rich warmth of her perfume to round my senses like a noose, her entire body froze.I detested the way my lips lingered over the smooth skin behind her jaw and how my hold tightened without conscious thinking.It didn't help that she wasn't fighting me. Just beneath the surface, her pulse thumped violently against my hand as I held her immobilized. I felt her breath fan my face as it came out shallowly.I was going to feel bad about it.I tasted fear and something more when my mouth touched her f

Rebecca"What brings you here?"I made a cold demand."As you can see," I said angrily, "I'm quite busy."There was only a glimmer of self-satisfied comprehension between the two women who had always exchanged hidden jabs and savage silences.The answer came from my stepmother, whose tone was overly pleasant and laced with hidden meaning. "Oh, hurry up," she said, laughing harshly.Of all persons, you would undoubtedly be aware.The festive ball?The big reveal?A little welcome party of your own?Are you occupied with that? My stomach turned over."What are you discussing?" With a loud swish of silk, my stepsister crossed one leg over the other and laughed.She pretended to gasp and then smiled, saying,"Wow, he really hasn't told you.""That's awkward." My jaw clenched."I don't think you two have anything to do with my health or my relationship with the Alpha.Go as you came.Like she owned the area, my stepmother moved gently in the direction of the fireplace, tracing the edge with her wel
