Chapter 61

Ava's POVA woman stood at Jasper’s side. He held her hand like it was the most natural thing in the world, his face lit with a grin I had never seen him give me.The woman was Laura.My breath hitched. My gaze followed them as they walked away.Nearby, Victor’s Maybach idled under the lights. He had come with her. Jasper laughed softly at something Laura said as they walked toward the car.He didn’t look back, not even once.Like a wounded wolf retreating into the shadows, I slowly pulled my foot back inside. My grip tightened on the door frame, my claws protruding slightly.My wolf paced beneath my skin, restless.“Look at him. He didn’t even hesitate,” she snarled in my head.“Luna, should we call Alpha Victor?” Michael’s voice cut through the haze, careful and cautious.“There is no need.” My voice came out flat.“Let’s go back to Smith Villa.”The cake rested by my side. I didn’t look at it.“Take this home with you,” I said, handing it to Michael. “I don’t like sweets.”It was e

Chapter 62

Ava's POVThe voice was that of Alpha Anderson Shelton.The screen showed him. He looked polished and composed. All I suffered in prison because of him flooded my memory.He was danger hidden behind a calm, refined exterior. But I could see it. I knew him a little too well, knew what he was capable of.Something in my chest tightened.“He’s back,” my wolf whispered.“Yes, he is,” I replied. He didn’t come earlier when Victor said he would. He had only just returned to Drakoria.My eyes were glued to the screen, to his face and his name, which was boldly written. It settled over me like a storm cloud.The kind of storm you don’t escape from. The kind you can only prepare for.Rose hurried over and quickly turned off the TV.“Oh my, there is nothing interesting there, Luna,” she said lightly, trying to fill the silence.Then she added softly, “I made you some honey lemon tea for your throat.”“I’m fine,” I said before Rose could say more, forcing a faint smile onto my lips. It felt unna

Chapter 63

Ava's POVMy grandmother had gone to confront my parents alone. During the altercation, she fell and hit her head. She was rushed to the hospital.I stood outside the emergency room that night, my body trembling uncontrollably from fear, the kind that sinks into your bones and never truly leaves.My blood felt like ice in my veins. My wolf was silent.I prayed earnestly to the moon goddess to save my grandmother. She was all I had.That evening, Laura appeared at the hospital with a bandaged arm. She walked toward me, her voice dripping with arrogance.“Listen, Ava. Everything I want will always be mine.” Each word carved itself into me.“The piano is mine.” She paused. “First place is mine.” She took another step closer. Her eyes were locked onto mine.“No one gets to compete with me, no one.”In that moment, my ten-year-old self finally understood the bitter truth.Laura and I were never sisters. We were two flowers forced into the same soil, competing for the same light, the same s

Chapter 64

Ava's POVAt his words, I tilted my head slightly, letting them roll around in my mind before answering.“My background?” I repeated, almost thoughtfully. “You mean as a murderer? An ex-convict? Or a mistress?”The silence that followed was… delicious.I let my gaze drift over all three of them… Victor, Laura, and Jasper, taking in their expressions.Then I smiled with amusement.“You’re all ridiculous,” I said lightly. “So I’m not allowed to dislike it? How controlling of you.”I didn’t wait for a response, nor did I care for one. I turned and walked away, my steps slow, steady, and controlled as I slipped back into my room.The moment the door closed behind me, the smile on my face vanished completely.I exhaled slowly, my shoulders relaxing just a fraction as I leaned against the door.Laura had everything. She had status, power, and adoration, more than enough to last a lifetime.And yet… she still wanted more. She was never satisfied, always reaching, always taking everything.A

Chapter 65

Ava's POVThe night of Laura’s concert arrived wrapped in extravagance. I moved toward the window, my steps slow and soundless.Below, Victor and Jasper stood side by side. They were dressed alike. They wore pristine white shirts and black silk tuxedos tailored perfectly to their frames.Even their bow ties sat flawlessly around their necks. They looked… complete, like a matched pair.My wolf and I watched silently.Then my gaze shifted to the car waiting for them. A stretch Rolls-Royce Phantom. It owned the space. A luxury car worth more than most people would ever touch in a lifetime.I watched as they stepped into the car and shut the door. The engine purred, and the Rolls-Royce glided away, smooth and effortless.My reflection stared back at me in the glass. My eyes, that had once been bright, were now cold and distant.Just then, my phone buzzed. The sharp vibration cut through the silence.It was Nora. I answered without hesitation.“Ava, I just got out of the grand council. Com

Chapter 66

Ava's POVI blinked, forcing my thoughts into place. “Nothing,” I said, shaking my head. “Let’s go eat.”“Good! I know this amazing barbecue place just over there.” Nora beamed, shifting the shopping bags in her arms as she started forward. “You’ll love it.”I followed her, my steps light but measured, every sound around me amplified… the hum of voices, the distant rumble of engines, the scent of roasted meat drifting faintly through the air.As luck would have it, the concert hall sat right along our path to the restaurant.The entire entrance was drowned in Laura. Posters and banners had her face blown up, her smile flawless, her eyes serene. The words written across every surface were:Prodigy Pianist Laura’s Debut Performance.My fingers twitched at my sides.Nora scoffed beside me. “God, what an eyesore. Seriously, who puts up this many posters? Are they trying to ruin people’s appetites?”Before I could react, she grabbed my wrist and tugged me away. “Actually, forget that place

Chapter 67

Ava's POVThe child’s voice was familiar. My head turned, my senses locking onto the source with precision.And then I saw him. Jasper.He had jumped up from his seat in the front row, his small hands clapping excitedly, his scent bright and warm. He seemed very proud of her.Right beside him sat Victor. He was relaxed and composed. His legs were crossed like he owned the entire room. But it was his expression that made something inside me snap.It was soft and indulgent. There was no correction from him when Jasper addressed Laura as Mommy.He simply watched Jasper with approval… as if everything about that moment was right.A hollow sound escaped my throat before I could stop it. It sounded like a laugh, but it didn’t feel like one.It felt like something was breaking within me.My chest tightened painfully, like claws were raking against my ribs from the inside. My wolf shifted uneasily, restless and wounded.Wasn’t that it? Wasn’t that the final confirmation, done in public?Just

Chapter 68

Ava's POVSlowly, I turned. Laura was looking straight at me.“I have a special surprise for you,” she said, smiling as if this were a coincidence. “During our interactive session, I asked the lighting team to pick one lucky audience member to join me on stage for a photo.”My eyes narrowed slightly.Lucky? Nothing about this felt random.“The winner,” she continued smoothly, “will receive a gift valued at one hundred thousand dollars… and exclusive tickets to my next performance.”The crowd stirred instantly with excitement and envy. All of it crashed toward me in suffocating waves.But I didn’t move.“Miss,” Laura called again, her tone softer now, almost coaxing, “would you please come up? Don’t be shy… we’re all friends here.”Friends? My wolf bared its teeth.Then she started clapping in a bright and encouraging manner.“Come on, everyone, let’s give this young lady some support!”The crowd followed immediately, applause rising, attention locking onto me completely. Too many eyes

Chapter 69

Ava's POVA lot of phones were raised as people in the audience recorded the scene, waiting for me to accept Laura's gift.The whispers started almost immediately.“Why is she hesitating? That’s so rude…”“She’s seriously turning down a gift like that?”“She seems like a very ungrateful and greedy lady.”My wolf went still. This was it. It was a trap, perfectly set by Laura. If I took this gift, the real earrings… my grandmother’s earrings… would be gone forever, buried under this cheap imitation.But if I refused, they would tear me apart publicly.My jaw tightened. Five years ago, I would have lowered my head and stayed silent. I would have let them do and say whatever they wanted, but not anymore.I had promised myself that. No more hiding, no more pretending.I lifted my gaze and met hers directly.“Miss Stone,” I said calmly, my voice carrying further than I expected, “you’ve misunderstood.”A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.“I’m not refusing because they lack value,” I con

Chapter 70

Ava's POVI straightened slowly, refusing to cower before any of them.“Everything you touch falls apart!” Magnus continued. “You ruined Laura’s first concert… was that your plan? Is that what you wanted?!”I ran my tongue over my lip, tasting blood again. Then I wiped it away with the back of my hand.When I looked back at him, my eyes were cold and empty.“Mr. Stone,” I said evenly, “your daughter called me on stage. She put me there.”My gaze didn’t waver. “So why,” I asked quietly, “are you blaming me?”The second slap came faster and softer, from Beatrice, but was no less vicious.My head tilted slightly with the impact, my wolf snarling deep inside me, claws scraping against bone, demanding release.I held it back, barely.“How dare you mock us?” her voice came, sharp and venomous.Her scent was weak, illness clinging to her like rot, but her hatred for me burned strong enough to cut through it.“You think we’re being unfair?” she continued, her voice trembling with fury. “What
