Nadia's POVI looked up, my head feeling fuzzy. The strong hand. It was Lucien.My heart jumped, but the drinks made everything feel slow. What was he doing here? How did he get back in? How did he get back in again?I turned to find Jessica, to have her tell him to leave. But Lucien spoke first, his voice liks knives piercing my skin.“You are wondering why I am here again Little Luna, after you got me thrown out ,” he said. He smiled his fake smile. “Do not worry. I was invited. One of the lycan guests invited me to discuss a business deal. A very important deal. So you see, I have every right to be here.”His eyes looked me up and down. They felt dirty on my skin. I remembered his hands on me in my past life. I remembered the knife.I felt sick. I tried to walk past him. I wanted to get away. But my feet did not work right. The room spun. I stumbled and fell forward.Lucien caught me. His arms went around me. It felt like being trapped by a snake.“Careful now Luna,” he whispered i

Nadia's Pov Noah's room was very different from mine. It was an Alpha's room but yet I believed it could be a bit different because the walls were dark, stone cold, and the only things in it were a heavy bed and a large wooden chest. No pictures. No soft colors. It felt empty like his heart.The fuzzy feeling from the wine was gone, leaving my head painfully clear. And in that clarity, there was only fear. I stood in the middle of the cold room, feeling my whole body shrink, making me seem small and weak.Noah stood between me and the door, a mountain of a man blocking the light from the single lamp. His arms were crossed over his chest, and his face was set in hard, angry lines. He was furious For a long time, he just stared at me. I could feel my heart beating too fast, faster than normal, I wished the ground could just open up and swallow me.Finally, he spoke. His voice was low and cold, which was somehow worse than if he had shouted.“Why?” he asked.I flinched, confused.“Why d

Nadia's pov I woke up slowly, my mind between sleep and awareness. For a blissful moment, I didn’t know where I was. This wasn’t my cold, lonely room. And it certainly wasn’t Noah’s oppressive chamber.The bed beneath me was soft. A warm blanket was pulled up to my chin. The room itself smelled of fresh air, a cozy, safe room.Then, the memory returned.I remembered the party. The slaps. The burn of the wine. The chilling anger in Noah’s eyes. The crushing weight of his body pinning me down, his cold voice stripping me of my only defense. And then, Neal. Neal bursting through the door. The fight. The safety of his arms as he carried me away.I was in Neal’s bed.My eyes flew open, scanning the room. And I found him.Neal was sitting in a chair near the bed, simply watching me. His green eyes were soft, holding a kindness that made my chest ache. He wasn’t smiling, but he didn’t look angry. He looked… calm. Solid.“Good morning,” he said, his voice soft.I sat up slowly, pulling the b

Nadia's POVThe heavy door to my room closed behind me. It shut out the world. I leaned against it for a moment. I tried to catch my breath. My meeting with Noah left me feeling two things. I felt like I had won. And I felt pure fear.My maid, Jessica, was inside. She was tidying up the room. She looked up and saw me. She gave me a warm smile."Miss Valerie, you are back," she said.I just nodded. My mind was moving fast. I could not just sit here. Not now. I had made a deal. I had to act like a person with a job to do. I picked up my notepad.Jessica, I wrote. I cannot stay inside all day. Are there any jobs for the Luna? Something to help the pack?Jessica’s eyes opened a little wider. But she kept her smile. "Of course, Miss! Many of the pack women are in the gardens today. They are getting herbs ready for winter. Would you like to see?"I nodded fast. I felt a jump of hope in my chest. This was a start. A way to be around people. A way to listen. A way to be useful.We left the ro

Nadia's POVI was still staring at my palm where the symbol had glowed. My heart was beating fast. The locket felt warm in my hand. It was a key. But to what?A soft knock came at my bedroom door."Miss Valerie?" It was Jessica's voice. "Alpha Neal is here to see you. I told him you might be taking a shower. Should I send him away?"My breath caught. Neal was here. After what Noah said, I did not think he would come. A part of me was scared. But a bigger part wanted to see him. I needed to see his kind eyes.I put the locket back on my neck. I put my shirt back on, hiding the mark on my back. I walked to the door and unlocked it.I shook my head at Jessica and pointed inside my room. I wanted to see him.Jessica nodded. "I will be right outside," she whispered.Neal walked in. He closed the door softly behind him. His face was serious. His green eyes looked tired."Valerie," he said. His voice was low. "Are you okay?"I nodded. I picked up my notepad.I am okay. Just a little weak.He
