Emily's POV.Never say it can’t happen to you until it actually does, Em.One of my mother’s advice echoed through my head as I stepped in front of Adrian, my hands trembling as I lifted them to block his path. “Adrian, please… let me explain.”“Explain what?” His tone was flat. “That you stole? Not once, Emily. Not twice. Three freaking times?”I stood still. Of course, there’s nothing I could say to justify it. Nothing that made me look less desperate or less pathetic.“I admit it.” My throat tightened. “I stole. And you have every reason to be mad at me. But Adrian… your parents pushed me to it.”His eyes flickered with something vulnerable before it vanished quickly.“Ungrateful,” he muttered. “That’s what you are! My parents gave you and your mother a roof. Food. Job. You practically breathe because of the Ravenwoods’ generosity. And because they withheld three months of salary, you decided to steal from them?”He scoffed cruelly and continued. “I actually thought you were better

Emily’s POV A crescent-shaped mark that hadn’t been there before glowed faintly on my skin, looking like a birthmark.“What in the Goddess’ name is this?” I whispered, unable to touch it.Then Adrian’s voice boomed from outside the door. “Emily!

Adrian’s mother. “My son can never be mated to you!”She marched forward, grabbed me by my clothes and dragged me toward the main building where the party was still going on. Before I could process anything, she shoved me t

Ruth had ordered them to dress me up, so I would at least look presentable for the Alphas who’d soon bid on me like livestock.A few seconds later, Adrian strolled inside with Rosaline at his side.“What the hell are you looking for?!” I hissed.His smugness was unbearable. “You still have the mouth to talk? You’ll be ruined in an Alpha’s bed tonight.”Rosaline folded her arms. “Being ruined by an Alpha is still an honor for someone like her.”My fingers twitched with the urge to scratch their faces bloody. “I’ll come back for you. I swear, you and your parents will pay...”A sharp sting exploded across my cheek before I could register it.I gasped. “You… hit me?”“I’ll do worse if you don’t learn some respect,” Adrian growled.
