NIARA'S POINT OF VIEW“No! Leave me! I didn’t do anything! Please, it was Helena who took me there! I swear I went there because she said someone needed help. Please!”My voice tore through the courtyard, raw and desperate, but no one listened.The guards dragged me down the stone steps, iron chains cutting into my wrists as they yanked me forward. Every stumble earned me another blow. A fist struck my back. A boot slammed into the back of my knees. I crashed hard against the ground, gravel tearing into my skin.“Get up, murderer.”I barely pushed myself upright before another shove sent me forward again.“Shut your mouth, you cursed disgrace!”My father’s roar froze even the crowd for a moment.Alpha Cedric Winters stormed down from the platform, rage twisting his face beyond recognition. He stopped in front of me and pointed a shaking finger at my bleeding body.“My brother, the Beta of this pack, lies dead because of you.” he thundered. The crowd gasped, then burst into vicious wh

NIARA'S POINT OF VIEW My breath was suffocating, coming out in sharp, broken gasps as the nightmare still clung to me like it was real. I couldn’t breathe.

The door opened slowly, and the old maid stepped in.

NIARA'S POINT OF VIEWSoon the music filled the ballroom once again, soft and elegant as couples slowly returned to the dance floor.I stood quietly on the stage, holding my glass while watching the crowd below me.Then, as expected, Helena and Logan approached me again.Helena’s smile looked as sweet and innocent as ever, but now I could see the calculation hidden beneath it.“Niara darling,” Helena said softly, almost teasingly, “you won’t mind if me and Logan share the stage for a dance, right? Actually, I suck at dancing and Logan’s been teaching me.”She laughed lightly while holding Logan’s arm.Beside her, Logan was still visibly irritated from the humiliation earlier. His jaw remained tight, and his eyes burned with restrained anger every time he looked at me.The old me would have instantly apologized to him. Pathetically.But now? I only smiled calmly.Before I could even answer, Logan spoke coldly.“You don’t need to ask permission, Helena.” His eyes locked onto mine sharpl
