Chapter1-The Blame

Aurora’s POVThe scent of silver and herbs clung to the air like smoke. Machines hummed softly beside the bed where Vicky, Alpha Damian’s sister, lay motionless. Her skin was almost translucent beneath the sterile lights, her lips pale as frost.The Beta doctor hovered near her bedside, murmuring instructions to a nurse who scribbled notes with trembling hands. The faint metallic tang of wolf poison lingered in the room.No one said the word out loud, but everyone knew.Someone had poisoned her.When the Beta doctor finally turned toward us, his voice was low, heavy with restrained disgust. “She’s stable,” he said, “but the poison was mixed into her morning medication. Only Aurora and Helen came to visit her today, are you sure there was no one else in the room?.” “I don’t know…” she whispered, her lower lip quivering as she pressed her hands to her chest.Helen, the daughter my mother had adopted years ago, stood near the door, her hands clasped tightly to her chest, wide eyes shim

Chapter2-Chains and Betrayal

Aurora’s POVWhen I opened my eyes the world was small and gray. My wrists hurt where the silver cuffs pressed into my skin. The spell marks from Father still pulsed under my veins.I pushed myself up. The cell smelled of metal and mold and old sweat. A dull light hung from the ceiling. The bars in front of me cast hard lines across the floor.A man outside the door laughed. “Alpha’s daughter finally wakes.”Three women appeared at the gate, leaning against the railing like they owned the place. One of them had a long scar down her cheek. Another bared a missing tooth when she smiled. The leader stepped forward, slow and certain.“You’re the Alpha’s girl?” she said. Her voice was flat, not kind. “Thought you might be. Bet you think you’re better than us, eh?”I folded my hands in my lap and did not answer.She moved inside my cell without waiting. Her boots sounded loud on the concrete. She stopped in my face and smelled like stale smoke.“On your knees,” she ordered. “We don’t need

Chapter3-Whip Marks and Old Ties

Aurora’s POVAfter the trial, I thought the worst was over. I was wrong.Damian made sure my punishment didn’t end with a sentence. He bribed the guards and the other inmates to torment me, starving me, beating me, forcing me to kneel until my knees bled. Every strike stripped away a piece of my wolf, every insult carved deeper into what was left of me. When the poison’s side effects didn’t kill me fast enough, Damian found a new way to destroy me. He called it mercy when he ordered them to send me to a mental hospital. But I knew the truth, he just wanted to watch me break slower.In this hellish situation, five years flew by in the blink of an eye. Every now and then, I’d hear through the grapevine that Helen and James were living the perfect life. James had become a hotshot lawyer,all thanks to the Vicky poisoning case. Helen?She was still her mom’s spoiled little princess. But me?My mom had begged me, tears streaming down her face, to take the fall for Helen. Every promise

Chapter4-Exposed Secrets

Aurora’s POVI watched Alpha Keith’s back as he stepped into the house. His stride was fast, his shoulders stiff, and I followed him indifferently, my face showing nothing. I stepped inside, the familiar halls looking more like a stranger’s house than my own. Inside the living room, I saw them.Mom, Luna Melissa stood to the side, watching with her calm expression, though her eyes darted between Dad, Alpha Frank and Helen. Helen sat close to Frank, laughing softly, her voice filled with warmth. Frank leaned toward her, his tone gentle, responding with smiles that I had never once received from him. The room glowed with their comfort, but it was comfort that had no space for me.Luna Melissa’s eyes shifted and landed on me. She blinked, surprise softening her face, and then she came forward quickly. Her arms opened wide, reaching for me with an expression that said she wanted to welcome me home.She tried to pull me into a bear hug.I stepped back, dodging her touch. My voice was

Chapter5-The Banquet of Lies

Aurora’s POVMy hair was short, uneven from where it had been hacked away during my time in the hospitaMy skin still had faint bruises and scars, some from restraints, others from rough handling.Even after bathing, I still felt the cold trace of the hospital on me, as if its presence clung to my skin no matter how clean I was.As soon as I stepped into the hall, the air shifted.The guests fell silent for a moment, eyes locking on me. Then came the whispers. Quiet at first, but spreading quickly like wildfire.An older woman nearby glanced at me with wide eyes. She had just been making small talk with someone but froze as she recognized me.“Is that… Aurora?” she whispered.“She used to be a dancer, you know,” another voice said softly. “She was a good dancer, very good moves then, she was famous for it.”“But now… now she’s a lunatic,” someone else whispered.And then, the real cruelty began.“Word is she slept around with the inmates in that mental hospital. Not just mentally unst

Chapter6-Humiliation on Stage

Aurora’s POVStrong arms steadied me, stopping me from falling against the food cart. The hard thud of dishes hitting the ground echoed in the hall, and every eye turned toward us. I looked up slowly. The man holding me was tall, broad-shouldered, with sharp features. His eyes were cold, but his grip was steady.He tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth. “Clumsy, aren’t you?” His tone was mocking, almost teasing, as if the chaos around us amused him.Before I could pull away, the woman who had shoved me spoke up, her voice sharp. “Alpha Gray, you shouldn’t touch her. Do you know who she is? That’s Aurora, she’s mentally ill.”Gasps rippled through the surrounding guests. Their voices overlapped quickly, each word sharper than the last.Another guest sneered, “She’s not just ill. She’s a slut. Everyone knows she slept with a lunatic from that hospital.”“And she has more than mental problems,” a man added. “I heard she has AIDS. Stay away from her,

Chapter7-Public Disgrace

Aurora’s POVAlpha Keith stepped forward quickly, forcing a smile toward the guests. His voice was strong, as if trying to steady the scene. “Please don’t misunderstand. Aurora has been through a lot, but she is still a member of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.”Then his eyes shifted to me. He leaned close enough that only I could hear. His words were low and sharp. “You should have considered your family. If you have AIDS, you should have told them beforehand.”The words cut through me like a blade. My back stiffened. My reply came out cold and sharp. “I’ve had a physical exam. I am healthy.”His gaze hardened, his jaw tight. “You’re lying,” he spat.Before I could respond, Helen’s soft voice rang out. She stepped forward, her expression gentle, her tone sweet, crafted for the audience. “I’m not worried about whether Aurora has AIDS or any mental illness. She is my family. I’ll accept her no matter what.”Gasps and whispers circled through the crowd. To them, her words sounded generous, s

Chapter8-Severing Ties

Aurora’s POVAlpha Keith’s voice cut through the hall again, harsh and sharp. “You’re hurting yourself on purpose! You want everyone to feel sorry for you.”I stared at him, my voice cold but calm. “Am I really that despicable, Alpha Keith?”My skin was still exposed, the bruises, burns, and silver scars clear under the lights.For a moment, Alpha Keith’s eyes dropped to my skin. The marks were too real to deny.His lips parted slightly with guilt flashing across his face. He couldn’t meet my eyes.Before the silence could settle, Helen quickly stepped forward, lowering her head with practiced ease. Her voice trembled just enough to sound fragile.“I… I didn’t mean to push anyone,” she whispered, glancing at the guests around us. “I was upset because I lost my diamond necklace.”Her words immediately shifted Alpha Keith’s focus. His gaze snapped back to me, his voice rising as he pointed straight at me.“You must have taken it! You’re the only one who touched the necklace.”The guests

Chapter9-The Final Goodbye

Aurora’s POVI walked off the stage and ran into Beta James, he had obviously seen everything that had just happened.He stood right in my path, as if waiting for me. His eyes locked onto mine for a brief moment. But I quickly turned my gaze away. My heart ached, a dull twisting pain that made my chest tighten, but I pretended not to see him and kept moving forward.Every step felt heavier than the last. My legs moved, but the weight inside me dragged like chains. The closer I got to the exit, the more suffocating everything became. The murmurs from the banquet hall faded into a distant hum, but the pressure in my chest grew sharper.I didn’t want any more entanglement with him, not after everything. I didn’t want to hear his explanations, his regrets, his carefully chosen words.I just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.He had rejected me.That wound was deeper than any physical pain I had suffered. I remembered that pain, and how it felt not just like the pain of

Chapter10-Poisoned Flight

Aurora’s POVThe cold night pressed hard against my skin as I stepped off the path from the shack. My thin bag bounced against my side as I limped forward, each step heavier than the last. My body still ached from the banquet, I could feel my leg throb, and my elbow also burned but I kept moving.The Silver Moon Packhouse glowed behind me, its windows bright with music and laughter. That laughter was for Helen. It was never for me. I did not look back.The dirt road stretched before me. I pulled the bag tighter against my chest, my breaths short and fast. Every part of me screamed to keep moving, not to stop, not to give anyone the chance to drag me back.I reached the outer gates.Near the gate, a servant appeared from the shadows. She held a small flask in her hands, her steps quick as she hurried toward me.“You look pale, Aurora,” she said, her tone polite, almost concerned. “The road is long. You should drink some water before you leave.”She didn’t block my way, only extended t
