SYLVIA“Why do you not just lock me up in some tower with no doors or windows and get someone else to be your miserable wife?” I screamed at him, my chest heaving as my throat stung from how loud I was.“What?” Vane gritted out through his tightened jaw, his face twisted in a frown.“You heard me,” I said, anger still evident in my voice, but this time much lower. “I am not the kind of wife that you want, so get a busty woman who can pass all your stupid etiquette classes and be the one to do the coming-out ceremony instead of me. I am tired of the bullshit—”“ENOUGH!”I flinched backwards, my eyes widening as I realised that I might have overstepped.His eyes raked over my features with a dark gaze, and I could feel his murderous intent washing over me. My body trembled in response to the immense power that he released.He took a step toward me. I wanted to sprint the other way, but I could not. He took another step until he was right in my face, leaning down so our eyes were level.

Chapter 22

VANE“So the dam has been fixed, and the heating system underneath it is working again, so the water will not freeze over like before,” one of the elders said, going through the report of the past few weeks.I nodded, flipping through the pages of the copy that I had. “Good. We cannot afford the leak that happened and the low water supply for our people. What other news do you have?”Elder Brandon cleared his throat, shifting his papers. “The migration numbers are rising, Alpha. The famine in the lowlands is driving entire families toward our territory. Over fifty rogues and displaced pack members crossed the line just this week.”Murmurs broke out around the table. The elders looked worried, their faces drawn in tight lines. We were a place ridden with snow all year round, except for very few days, and so our preservation skills are top tier, and so good that we have enough resources to last us for years, in case of famine that chose to come to our land,s so it was no surprise that p

SYLVIA“Are you certain you do not require our assistance, Luna?” the young maid asked, her arms full of fresh towels as she hovered near the bathroom door.“I am certain. Thank you, but I can manage on my own,” I said, offering a tight, strained smile until she bowed and finally backed out of the room.I locked the door behind her and leaned my back against it, letting out a long, shuddering breath. The last thing I wanted was an audience while I washed off the grime of Estelle’s brutal etiquette lessons. My head still throbbed from the number of names, lineages, and history I had been forced to memorise, and let's not forget the number of times I fell over trying to balance five books on my head because I got five of her questions wrong. I almost gave up again, but I didn't want to give people more reason to talk about how incompetent I was to be Luna. Stepping into the steaming water of the large tub, I sank down until it reached my chin. The heat began to soothe my aching muscl

SYLVIA“Lean forward! Do not try to swallow it down!” Vane ordered, his voice booming through the silent dining room as his large hands gripped my shoulders.I could not answer him. I could not even nod. My hands clawed at my throat as my chest burned from the absolute lack of oxygen. The edges of my vision were starting to turn a dangerous shade of black.Vane did not hesitate as he pulled me up from the chair, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. He formed a fist, placing it just above my navel, and pulled inward and upward, but nothing happened.“Again,” he growled, more to himself than to me. A choked gasp escaped my lips, but the blockage remained stubbornly in place.I was going to die here, choking on a piece of venison in front of the man who had just announced our wedding that we never spoke about. Vane cursed, his grip tightening until my ribs felt like they might snap, and gave one final pull. The piece of meat finally flew out of my mouth, landing somewhere on

Chapter 25

VANE“State your name before I snap your neck,” I growled, my weight pinning the intruder securely against the cold kitchen floor.The person beneath me gasped, a small, trembling hand coming up to push weakly against my chest. “V-Vane! It is me! It is Sylvia!”I froze and felt the familiar shock that I felt when I touched her skin. My eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I looked down at her pale face.Her eyes were wide with terror, and her lips were trembling. My gaze flicked to the side, noticing the crumbs of bread and chicken scattered on the floor next to her head.I immediately released her, shifting my weight and stepping back to let her stand up.“I am sorry,” I muttered, the words feeling foreign and heavy on my tongue. “I did not realise it was you.”Sylvia scrambled to her feet, her breathing shallow as she backed away from me. She looked toward the door, her entire posture screaming that she wanted to bolt out of the kitchen and run as far away from me as possible.Before

Chapter 26

SYLVIA“Are you listening to a single word I am saying, Luna Sylvia?” Estelle’s voice interrupted my thoughts, making me blink up at her in a daze.“Yes, Estelle. I am listening,” I lied, shifting my weight from one foot to the other as we stood in the centre of the grand library.In truth, I had not heard a single word she had said. My thoughts were completely consumed by what had happened in the kitchen last night. I kept staring down at my right ankle, where a proper bandage had now been wrapped. Had I been imagining things? I was very sure I didn't conjure up him kissing me on my cheek like that, right?I tapped my hand on my cheek, a small smile gracing my lips. He had been nice to me. The cold, ruthless Alpha had actually shown a sliver of humanity, and it was driving me insane trying to figure out why.“Then show me,” Estelle commanded, crossing her arms over her chest. “We are practising the formal greeting for the high-ranking matriarchs from the other side of the world. A s

Chapter 27

SYLVIA“Are you alright up there, dear?” a warm voice called out from below, breaking the silence. I did not want to move. I wanted the floor to crack open and swallow me whole so I would never have to face any of them again. I lay there, surrounded by the evidence of what I had done, my cheeks burning with humiliation. This was so unladylike of me and Estelle wasn't going to let me hear the end of embarrassing myself in front of a very important guest. I had wanted to spy on Vane’s supposed mistress, and instead, I had made a fool of myself. Before I could even gather the strength to push myself up, I heard footsteps hurry up the stairs in my direction. “Oh, my goodness, look at all this glass. Do not move, you might cut yourself,” Lady Andrea said as she rushed over to my side, her expensive fur cloak sweeping against the dusty floor.I braced myself, expecting a sharp glare or a condescending remark from the breathtakingly beautiful woman, but as she knelt beside me, her golden

Chapter 28

VANE“The expansion projects are moving ahead of schedule, Alpha,” Aiden reported, falling into step beside me as I walked through the doors of the house. “Good. The new shelters must be fully completed before the mid-winter blizzards hit,” I replied, unfastening the snow-dusted fur cloak from my shoulders and handing it to a waiting guard.We had spent the entire morning evaluating the living conditions in the lower villages, ensuring the incoming migrants were adjusting properly to our harsh weather. My boots were caked in slush, and my face felt numb from the work, but the work was necessary and way better than being at war. “There is someone else you should know about,” Aiden added, a smile breaking through his usually stoic expression. “And that is?” I asked, looking around and wondering why the house was quiet. “My mother arrived while you were away. Lady Andrea is currently inside."I stopped in my tracks, turning to look at him. “Andrea is here? Why did she not send word b

Chapter 29

SYLVIA“What is wrong with you?” Vane’s voice startled me so badly that a loud gasp escaped my throat.I whirled around, quickly wiping at my wet cheeks with the back of my hands, but it was completely useless. My eyes were red, and my chest was still heaving from the force of my tears. I did not want him to see me like this. I did not want to give him another reason to call me weak or incompetent.“Nothing is wrong,” I choked out, my voice cracking betrayingly.“It doesn't sound like nothing is–” before he could complete his sentence, I ran as fast as my bare feet could carry me, hearing his footsteps right behind me, chasing me. I reached my door, shoved it open, and tried to slam it shut to lock him out, but his hand caught it in time.With a single, powerful shove, Vane pushed the door open and walked into my room, shutting it firmly behind himself.“Get out!” I screamed at him, backing away until the edge of the bed hit the back of my knees.Vane did not listen. He strode across

Chapter 30

SYLVIAVane’s hands were everywhere, gripping my thighs, tightening his fingers around my throat. “Come on, say it. Say that you belong to me. Say it.” I moaned in response, unable to say the words that he wanted me to say so badly. I didn't want to, but if he continued torturing me like he was doing, I was going to give in. “You're not going to?” He dug his finger deeper, curling his fingers and hitting my spot over and over again. “Vane!” I moaned out, my voice scratchy as I almost lost it from screaming out his name continuously. “Do you want me to stop?” He asked, and I couldn't respond. He paused, staring at me darkly. “You want me so badly that you'll go as far as to dream about me? What a dirty, dirty girl.” Dream? What did he mean by dream? I jumped upright in bed, staring at the walls of my room. The morning light was just beginning to peek through gaps in the curtains. My pussy throbbed with a humiliating reminder of exactly how my body had reacted to him last night.
