IVY’S POVI sat in my chambers, staring at the wall, my mind racing with thoughts and plans. I could not just sit here and wait for things to happen. I had to do something. I had to take control. I had been trapped in this palace for too long, playing the victim, letting Damon and Serena dictate my life. That was over now.Tara walked in, with her face filled with excitement and said, “Ivy, I just heard something. Serena is preparing for a big function. It is a grand event. Everyone will be there. All the important people in the pack. The elders, the officials, everyone.”I looked up at her, with suspicion innmy eyes and asked, “A function?”“Yes. The whole pack will be there. And Serena is planning to attend as the Luna. She is already picking out her dress and jewelry. She wants to make a statement. She wants everyone to see her as the true Luna.”I felt a fire ignite in my chest. Serena was parading herself as the Luna while I was locked away in these chambers like a prisoner. She

IVY’S POVI paced my chambers like a caged animal, with my footsteps heavy against the cold stone tiles floor, and my heart ached with a restlessness that I could not shake. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and pressing hard against my chest, making it hard for me to breathe. Every corner of this room reminded me of the prison I was trapped in.I could not stop thinking about Kael. The way he had looked at me when he left. The way he had kissed my forehead. The way he had promised he would come back. I needed to see him. I needed to feel his arms around me. I needed to hear his voice.I stopped pacing and pressed my hand against my chest, trying to calm my racing heart. “Why does it feel like I am drowning?” I whispered to myself. “Why does this palace feel like a cage?”Tara walked in, her eyes filled with concern. “Ivy, you have been pacing for hours,” she said softly. “What is wrong? You look like you have not slept in days. Your eyes are red.”I stopped and turned t

IVY’S POVI woke up slowly, with the warmth of Kael’s arms wrapped around me, and for a moment, I forgot where I was. The soft light of morning filtered through the curtains, which casting a golden glow across the room. I felt safe. I felt peaceful. I felt like I could finally breathe. The weight that had been pressing down on my chest for weeks seemed to lift, just a little.Then the memories came flooding back. The palace. Damon. Serena. The function. The plan. I could not escape it. I could not hide from it. I had to go back. I had to face them.I turned my head to look at Kael. He was still asleep, his face relaxed and peaceful. I studied the lines of his jaw, the curve of his lips, the way his chest rose and fell with each breath. He was so beautiful. So strong. So mine.I reached out and gently traced my fingers along his arm. He stirred, his eyes fluttering open. A slow smile spread across his face when he saw me.“Good morning,” he said, his voice low and croaky with sleep.I

IVY'S POVThe weight of every gaze in the room landed on me at once, pressing down like a physical force, but I did not flinch. The whispers rippled through the crowd like waves crashing against the shore, and I could hear fragments of their conversations floating toward me—questions about who I was, why I was here, and who the handsome man beside me happened to be. I kept my chin high and my smile fixed in place, and Kael’s hand rested on the small of my back, steady and grounding, reminding me that I was not alone in this fight.Serena recovered first, because of course she did. She had always been quick to compose herself, quick to put on that mask of sweetness that fooled so many people. She set down her champagne glass with deliberate slowness and glided toward us, her silver gown shimmering under the chandeliers like liquid moonlight, and her blue eyes swept over me with open disdain, as if I was nothing more than an insect that had wandered into her perfect world.“Well, well,”

IVY’S POVThe hotel suite was buzzing with energy, the kind of electric excitement that comes after a hard-fought victory, and I could not stop smiling. My cheeks were starting to ache from it, but I did not care. For the first time in years, I felt free, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I wanted to savour every single moment of it.I had been sitting on the couch, listening to Tara and Liam chat about the chaos unfolding back at the palace, when something shifted inside me. The laughter faded, and a new determination took its place, burning bright and steady in my chest. I stood up suddenly, my movements sharp and purposeful, and I said firmly, “I want to end this once and for all. I want to settle this with Damon.”The room went quiet, and I felt everyone's eyes on me. Kael stood up immediately, crossing the room to stand beside me, and he took my hand in his, his grip warm and reassuring. “Calm down, Ivy,” he said gently, his hazel eyes searching my face. “Damon
