NORA“Are you there?”“Hmm?”“Can you hear me? Nora… Nora.”I felt like crap.Waking up, the harsh smell of bleach and rubbing alcohol immediately assaulted my nose.Bright fluorescent lights blinded me for a second. Blinking rapidly, I tried to turn my head, but a sharp spike of pain shot straight down my neck.Groaning, I let my head fall right back onto the stiff, uncomfortable pillow.My entire body felt like it had been thrown directly into a woodchipper.Looking down, my arms were covered in dark purple bruises. A thick white bandage was wrapped tightly around my ribs, making every single breath ache. An IV needle was taped securely to the back of my left hand, dripping clear fluid into my veins."You took a serious beating," a voice drawled from the doorway.Turning my aching head to the right, I spotted Todd. The pack Gamma leaned casually against the metal doorframe, chewing on a toothpick. His arms were crossed over his broad chest, and a highly annoying, sarcastic smirk pla

KAI’S POVLeaning far back in the leather chair, I stared up at the blank digital screen covering the entire front wall of the security room."Grandma is completely losing her damn mind over this," Halil muttered, tapping his knuckles rhythmically against the polished steel table. "She cornered me in the west hallway an hour ago. Threatened to break my kneecaps if we didn't pull Nora out of that dirt ring."Snorting softly, I shook my head. "She threatened to hit me with her silver cane right after breakfast. The old woman is desperate for us to stop making the breeder suffer.""Can you blame her?" Halil asked, glancing over at me. "She just wants the pups. She thinks we are going to get the girl killed before she can even carry an heir.""Todd knows exactly what he is doing," I argued, crossing my arms over my chest. "He won't kill her. He will just bruise her up enough to make her tough. Besides, keeping her out of our sight was the best decision we made."Turning his chair slightly

NORASlipping out of the grand hall before dessert was served felt like the only way to save my sanity.Staring at my untouched plate at the overflow table had finally broken my spirit for the night. The mocking whispers from the guards sitting next to me were simply too much to handle. Escaping into the dimly lit servant corridors, my chest actually ached from holding back angry tears.Walking down the cold stone hallway, the quiet atmosphere should have been a relief. But it wasn't. The heavy feeling of utter humiliation still coated my skin like a layer of thick mud.Rounding a sharp corner near the laundry rooms, a solid mass violently slammed into my left shoulder."Watch it!" a harsh voice snapped.Stumbling backward, my shoulder throbbed where it had just collided with solid bone. Catching my balance against the brick wall, I looked up. A young pack maid stood a few feet away, holding a large silver serving tray. She didn't look sorry at all. In fact, a nasty sneer was plastere

NORACrying was a sign of weakness, but holding the pain inside was literally impossible.That night I sobbed into my knees, feeling so humiliated.The most oainful part? No one cared.Morning came way too fast.Back down in the sweltering kitchen, the nightmare simply reset. Chopping piles of raw meat and scrubbing dirty stoves kept my hands stinging for hours. Cara and the other maids made sure to bump into my bruised shoulders every single chance they got.Stepping out into the back alley for a quick, five-minute break, I leaned heavily against the cool brick wall. Breathing in the fresh air felt like heaven.Suddenly, heavy boots crunched on the gravel."Break is over," a gruff voice barked.Two massive pack guards flanked me. Grabbing my arms tightly, they yanked me away from the wall."What are you doing?" I gasped, struggling against their iron grips. "I literally just stepped outside!""Kitchen shift is paused," the taller guard snapped, pulling me toward the main courtyard. "

THIRD PERSON’S POV Silverware scraped loudly against expensive porcelain plates. The grand dining room felt suffocatingly tense. Sitting at the long mahogany table, Nora kept her eyes glued to her roasted chicken.Taking a slow sip of dark wine, Kai smirked. "You missed a spot on the armory floor today, breeder.""Leave me alone, Kai," Nora muttered, poking a carrot with her fork."Don't speak to an Alpha like that," Halil chimed in, cutting a thick piece of steak. He didn't even bother looking up from his meal. "Maybe Todd needs to throw you back in the dirt ring tomorrow. Your manners are getting sloppy.""My manners are fine," Nora snapped, her voice trembling slightly. "You two are just acting like complete assholes."Kai let out a cruel, mocking laugh. "Careful. Assholes bite back."Smack.The heavy silver head of Queen Alder's cane struck the polished wooden table. The sharp sound echoed violently off the high ceiling."Cut it out. Both of you," Alder commanded. Her voice was d
