1: Vivica’s Engagement Dinner

KYLA'S POV "Hi, Mom," I said as I sat in the grass with my legs crossed beneath my butt. I looked at the wedding announcement in my hands, and a lone tear slipped from my eye. "Tormund Moonveil, son of Morgan and Tabitha Moonveil and also the future Alpha of the Moonveil pack, is to be wedded to Vivica Eclipse, daughter of Beta Albert and Claudia Eclipse of the Moonveil pack," I read out loud. I lifted my head to the sky and let out a bitter laugh, then crushed the paper in my hands and threw it behind me. "This is so unfair!" I sniffled. "I am the rightful daughter of the Beta! Why is his adoptive daughter treated better than me while I'm treated like the servant?" I asked as tears wet my knees. "Mom! I wish you were here." I ran my palm over the stone marker of my mother's grave. I was about to say something else when I heard the whispers of some of the more mischievous pack children. "Look, it's the monster girl," one of them giggled. "I dare you to go kiss her," his little voi

2: Ugly Bitch

KYLA’S POV "The marriage will be held in four days, on Vivica's eighteenth birthday!" "My Luna, are you serious?" Vivica squealed. "Yes, my dear. At the rate you two are going, I know I'll be a grandmother soon, so why wait and risk you getting pregnant out of wedlock?" Cheers erupted and Vivica glowed like a star while Tormund grinned like a king. "I can't wait for you to become Mrs. Moonveil," Tormund purred as he kissed her knuckles. The Alpha called for more wine. I hurried forward with the decanter, but my eyes were focused on Tormund. My gaze slid downward, catching what no one else seemed to notice. His hand was hidden under the table, between Vivica's thighs. His fingers moved, and Vivica's blush deepened. The scent hit me, and I could tell my father and the Alpha smelt it too, but they didn't mention it. I swallowed hard. My hand trembled, and the wine spilled across the Alpha's lap. "What the hell!" the Alpha growled. "You clumsy girl!" The room went deathly silent

3: Kyla’s Wish

KYLA’S POV "What happened to the future Alpha?" Claudia asked. "He was sick of waiting around for the trackers to find your daughter, so he stormed off into the woods trying to catch on to Vivica's scent," the Luna sniffled, choking on her sobs. "And?" my father asked. "He searched for hours, but there was no sign of her. And when he lost her scent, he got angry and kicked a tree hard. He was so deep in his grief, he didn't see the tree until it was too late. It fell on him and knocked him out cold," Alpha Morgan finished for his wife. "Oh no!" Claudia gasped, and Father swallowed hard. "There's more. I'm just coming from the hospital." The Luna had a pale look on her face. "Don't tell me my son is...," Alpha Morgan couldn't even get himself to say it out loud. "No, he's not dead. But the doctors tried everything, Morgan, and his bones were so badly crushed his wolf was unable to heal him." "What are you saying, woman? Spit it out!" the Alpha shook her violently. "Tormund is

4: Burnt Face Luna

KYLA’S POV THREE YEARS LATER “I'm finally pregnant!” I whispered to myself. “I'm finally gonna give my husband the child he so desires.” My trembling hands clutched the arms of the chair as I sat in the examination room of the pack hospital. The sterile smell of disinfectant stung my nose. My heart beat faster with every tick of the clock on the wall. I dared not look up. Not with my overly dressed mother-in-law standing over me, watching my every move like a vulture circling its prey. Tabitha's blond hair was twisted into a neat bun, not a single strand out of place. Her pale fingers toyed lazily with the off-white pearl necklace resting on her neck. I kept my eyes glued to the floor. If I dared to meet Tabitha's cold gaze, I knew the punishment would be severe. The door to the exam room swung open and Dr. Brando entered with his coat wrinkled and faint lipstick stains smeared on the sleeve. His brown hair was messy, and I immediately understood why. He was sleeping with a youn

5: Beta Jason

KYLA’S POV Later that evening, the door slammed open and I froze just as I was placing the warm food on the table. Tormund stumbled in, reeking of liquor. His hair was a mess, his shirt half undone and his eyes bloodshot. He glared at the table and snarled. "What the hell is this?" "Dinner," I said softly, placing a glass of carrot juice next to the plate. "I wanted steak, not chicken!" "This was what your mother said you wanted today." "I DON'T WANT EXCUSES!" he barked. "ARE YOU MARRIED TO MY MOTHER OR ME?" With a violent sweep of his arm, he knocked the plate to the floor and the food splattered everywhere. The crash echoed through the house. I gasped, stepping back. My heart raced violently in my chest. Before I could speak, he lunged forward and wrapped his hand around my throat, squeezing until I was choking. "You dare serve me slop?" His breath reeked of alcohol as his claws grazed my skin. "You dare stand here like you're worthy of me? You're nothing. Nothing but a bu

6: Where Is My Dinner?

KYLA’S POV The needle pricked my skin, and my blood flowed away, weakening me with every drop. My vision blurred, my fingers trembled, and the room spun around me. I pressed my lips together to stop them from quivering. After the doctor drew the necessary blood, I tried to stand, but my knees buckled. I swayed, clutching the bedpost. "Luna!" Dr. Brando snapped. "You must take it easy now." "I know, but I need to see my husband." "You will soon. Just lay down for a bit. I'll go take the blood to the nurse for testing before the transfusion, and then I'll come back to give you a little check-up. In the meantime, please suck on this lollipop." He handed me the sweet. "Thank you, doctor," I said weakly as I lay back down. The moment the door closed, the air shifted. Jason and Leroy slipped in, grinning. "Our Luna is so devoted to Alpha Tormund," Jason said, almost mockingly. "You've taken care of him with such loyalty." I managed a gentle smile. "He is my husband. I would do anyth

7: Dr. Mendez

KYLA’S POV "Please... I can't breathe... I'm in pain." Tormund looked down at me with disgust. "You're always so dramatic and desperate for my attention," he hissed, watching me squirm on the ground as I gasped for breath. I weakly tried to pry his fingers from my neck, but he was too strong. "Pathetic!" he spat. His phone rang and he released me instantly. He clicked the screen and answered. "Alpha Tormund here. What do you have for me?" He listened, then spoke briskly. "What? Are you sure the Wolf Mother's Bone has been found? I'll be there right away." He pulled on his coat and moved toward the door. "You can keep up this act a little longer, but soon, I'll have no use for you anymore," he mocked before leaving me on the floor. Moments later, the maid found me unconscious and rushed me to the hospital. When I woke, I was lying on a hospital bed. The bright lights burned my eyes, and my body felt like it had been drained of every ounce of strength. A woman's gentle voice rea

8: The Truth About Vivica

THIRD-PERSON POV Kyla froze, her lips parting in silence. Tears spilled down her cheeks. She shook her head, thinking how foolish she was believing that Tormund could ever have pity on her. This was the ugly truth. He hadn't sought the treasure for her... or anybody else. It was for Vivica. Everything was always about Vivica. Her chest heaved with silent sobs. She pressed a hand to her stomach protectively, as if shielding the tiny spark of life inside from Tormund's cruel words. She wanted him to hurt as much as she was hurting. For two years now she had known the truth. The wicked truth that Vivica wasn't dead at all. The memory struck her like a shadow creeping out from the past. Two years ago, during one of Vivica's memorial rites, Kyla sat alone by the cliff where Vivica had supposedly committed suicide. She cried quietly, her tears dripping onto the folded paper offerings she meant to cast into the wind over the cliffs for her stepsister, when Gemma spoke inside her mind

9: The Wolf Mother’s Bone

TORMUND'S POV For the first year of our marriage, I treated Kyla with coldness. I avoided her bed. I did not want her to bear my child. But after a while, my mother told me the pack needed an heir. So I had to turn to alcohol to give me the strength I needed to bed such a wicked and ugly woman. She had a nice body...I even thought it was nicer than Vivica's, but I couldn't get myself to look into her face. Last month, drunk and confused, I had a moment of weakness and I slept with her when I walked in on her taking a shower. I had never been that horny before, and even though I whispered Vivica's name I was only thinking about Kyla in that moment, how good she smelt and how good her muscles felt around my girth. She was so tight, but the moment she whispered that she loved me I had to do something to shatter her, so I whispered Vivica's name out of spite. The next morning, shame burned through me. I thought Kyla had tricked me again. She must have been using her magic to get me

10: Ugly Duckling

THIRD-PERSON POV "Wake up, you lazy sow!" Kyla jolted awake as a bucket of icy water crashed over her face. It stung her nose and flooded down her throat, making her choke and cough violently. She blinked through tears to see her mother-in-law towering over her like a vulture. "Mistress Tabitha," Kyla rasped, shivering. "Wh-what are you doing here so early?" “It’s 5 PM.” Tabitha let out a scornful laugh. "Plus, what a brainless question. Do I need permission to step into my own son's house? Or were you hoping to laze around all day and keep him away from his duties, you shameless leech?" Her lip curled in disgust. "Get up! You're a disgrace. Honestly, you're even uglier when you wake! How he can stand to look at you, I'll never know." Kyla scrambled out of bed, her movements awkward and careful, but she kept her head ducked. She couldn't believe she had slept the day away. "Stand up straight!" Tabitha barked. "Don't slouch like some mangy mutt. I want to see exactly what
