HIS FIRM DECLARATION~MIRA'S POV~I felt terrible after Dominic and I left the forest.Even now, as we walked through the academy grounds, my thoughts kept drifting back to Kael.The look in his eyes.The jealousy.The pain.The way he had stood there watching us. Dominic kept reassuring me that pretending to be close would eventually make Kael back off.If only he knew the truth. Kael wasn't being drawn to me because of simple attraction.It was the bond.The stupid, confusing, impossible bond.And the worst part? I cared about him too. Far more than I wanted to admit. Every time I remembered the expression on his face when we walked away together, guilt twisted painfully inside my chest.A part of me wanted to run back.To tell him everything was okay.To smooth my fingers through his dark hair and let him rest his head against my shoulder.But then another memory surfaced.Kael kissing Seraphina.Holding her like she was the only woman in existence. The image immediately hardened

WHAT MATTERS TO HIM~MIRA'S POV~My fingers twisted together on my lap as nervousness crawled beneath my skin.The entire room felt suffocating.I still couldn't believe what had just happened.Kael had done the impossible.He had stood before his father, before Seraphina, before everyone who could ruin his life, and openly admitted that I was his fated mate.Not just that.He had chosen me.My chest tightened painfully.He hadn't whispered it in secret. He hadn't hidden behind excuses. He hadn't pretended anymore. He had chosen me in front of the very people who could destroy him for it.A strange warmth spread through me.Fear followed immediately after.Because if Kael's father hated this bond as much as he seemed to, then exposing the truth could only make things worse.I slowly lifted my gaze.Seraphina looked broken.Her face had gone completely pale. Her lips trembled as if she couldn't process what she had just heard.Both hands were pressed against her chest like she was stru

WARMTH IN HIS ARMS~MIRA'S POV~I swallowed hard and lowered my gaze.Heat spread through my chest as I tried to avoid those intense eyes fixed on me. For the first time since I had met Kael Ravencrest, he looked genuinely nervous.As if my answer held the power to either save him or destroy him."I just..." I stammered.My shoulders slumped."I don't know where this is supposed to lead, Kael. Everything is so complicated."He didn't respond immediately.The silence stretched between us, yet somehow it wasn't uncomfortable. It felt like he was giving me room to breathe, room to think. Then he gently lifted my chin with his finger.His touch was warm and careful. "I promise you," he said quietly, "that everything will eventually fall into place."I laughed softly."That's easy for you to say."His brows furrowed. "What is that supposed to mean?"I looked away."You and I live in completely different worlds."His expression softened."Mira."I reluctantly met his eyes."That's not what

LEFT IN SHOCK~MIRA'S POV~It's not as if I didn't want to stay with him.The idea tempted me more than I wanted to admit.Just sitting in Kael's lap had been enough to turn my thoughts into a complete mess. Staying the entire night in his room? That sounded like a disaster waiting to happen.The mating bond was already difficult enough to ignore.What if we lost control? What if he marked me before any proper mating ritual?The thought alone made my stomach twist.Besides, Dominic was still waiting outside. He had escorted me here despite everything and promised he wouldn't leave until he knew I was okay.I couldn't just abandon him.Slowly, I slid off Kael's lap."I'll visit tomorrow," I promised softly.I expected a response.Instead, he remained silent. His head stayed lowered as if he was lost in his own thoughts. My lips twitched. Since he wasn't looking, I stuck my tongue out at him and made a face.Childish.Completely childish.But it made me feel better. Then I hurried towar

BURNING URGE~RONAN'S POV~A bitter lump formed in my throat as I watched Dominic walk away with Mira beside him.Neither of them looked back.Not once.The sight burned. It burned so badly that I couldn't stop staring long after they disappeared from view."What just happened?" I finally breathed out.My voice sounded strange, almost broken. Beside me, Lucien looked equally stunned. His mouth opened and closed several times, but no words came out.I grabbed his shoulder."Come on."We turned toward Kael. He was standing near the gate like a statue. He was motionless, silent, and watching the same direction Mira had gone.A dangerous feeling twisted inside my chest."I knew that prince had a motive," I muttered darkly. "He didn't give up his title and leave his kingdom just to study here."My wolf growled low and threatening."He came for something." Lucien dragged a hand through his hair. "Forget Dominic for a second." His voice sounded strained."How did he know?"I immediately kn

THE PRICE TO WIN~RONAN'S POV~The room remained silent long after Lucien stopped talking.The air felt heavy and suffocating.Lucien sat at the edge of my bed with his face buried in his hands. Every few seconds, he released another exhausted breath, like he was carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulders.Then suddenly, he lifted his head."We're going to keep drinking Nut Tonic every day while Kael gets to live happily with her."I didn't respond.His voice trembled as he continued."Do you even realize what that means? He gets emotional stability. Mental peace. A stronger connection to his wolf. If they complete the mating bond, their future children could become some of the strongest wolves in generations."His eyes glowed."He's getting everything."I stared at him.For me, the pain came as anger. For Lucien, it came as heartbreak. The bond was destroying both of us in different ways.A bitter laugh escaped me."You've already planned their entire future. Pathetic."

A STEP IN THE PLAN~LUCIEN'S POV~My footsteps came to an abrupt halt.The glass of water in my hand nearly slipped from my fingers as my eyes landed on Ronan.Wasn't he supposed to be asleep?Just a few minutes ago, I'd left him lying on his bed, looking completely drained. Worried he might wake up thirsty, I'd gone downstairs to fetch him some water.Instead...There he was.Tiptoeing through the mansion.His movements were unusually cautious, his sharp eyes sweeping every corner of the hallway like a thief afraid of being caught.My brows knitted together.What was he doing? Instinctively, I stepped behind the nearest couch before he could notice me.The mansion fell eerily quiet.I watched as Ronan glanced over his shoulder one last time before stopping in front of Kael's room.A strange feeling settled in my chest.Weren't we just talking about Kael? Could he be going to tell him everything I'd said?My grip around the glass tightened.No...That couldn't be it.Could it? A bitter

WHAT HE KNOWS~MIRA'S POV~The moment we were far enough from the Ravencrest brothers, I jerked my hand out of Dominic's grasp and turn to face him."What was that?"He blinked."What?""What do you mean, what?" My voice came out harsher than I intended. "Why were you holding my hand?"He looked genuinely confused.Instead of answering, he casually walked toward one of the empty benches lining the academy corridor. It was unusually quiet. Being the weekend, most students had disappeared into town or wandered to other parts of the academy.Dominic sat first before patting the empty space beside him.I remained standing."You aren't going to sit?" he asked."I asked you a question." A sigh escaped him."I was trying to help.""By grabbing my hand?""I wanted the Ravencrest brothers to believe you chose me."I frowned."The more jealous they become," he continued calmly, "the more mistakes they'll make." His words only irritated me further."You don't get to decide those things for me.

TOO TWISTED TO BE TRUE~MIRA'S POV~I stared at him, my mouth slightly open."...What?"The words refused to settle in my mind, why was he so obsessed with my parents?"I don't know my biological parents," I admitted quietly. "I've never met them."A grin spread across Dominic's face."Bingo."I frowned."You seriously think this is funny?""It isn't." His smile faded just as quickly. "I'm just relieved you finally said it."I folded my arms."You've completely lost me."He leaned back against the bench, studying me with an expression that was almost... sympathetic."Mira, I'm not trying to mock you.""Then what are you trying to do?""I'm trying to make you question the story you've believed your entire life." His words settled between us like heavy stones."There has to be a reason," he continued softly, "why no one knows where you came from."I looked away, that wasn't true. Mother had found me, that was enough.Wasn't it?She had discovered me abandoned in the forest as an infant

MY HEART DROPPED~MIRA'S POV~I ran until my lungs burned.My shoes slapped against the stone pathways of the academy, each hurried step echoing louder than the frantic pounding of my heart. I didn't dare slow down. I barely even looked behind me, only stealing quick glances over my shoulder every few seconds.What if Dominic followed me?What if he wanted to continue that insane conversation?No.I couldn't listen to another word.By the time I reached the girls' hostel, every muscle in my body ached. My chest heaved violently as I stopped outside my room, clutching my stomach while trying to steady my breathing.It felt as though my entire world had been turned upside down in a single afternoon."Why..." I whispered shakily. "Why is this happening to me?"The more I replayed Dominic's words, the less sense they made.A legendary bloodline? The Ravencrest triplets? The palace? He claimed he had known about me before he even stepped into this academy.How was that even possible? I s
