Ayla’s POV “Who are you?“ I ask again as the shadow rushes forward, revealing a masked man. Suddenly, a blinding light gleams from my necklace. It is so powerful that the assassin groans in pain before bolting away through the balcony. My chest heaves in absolute terror as I remain pinned against the wall. What the hell just happened? Someone tried to kill me. Why are there no guards around? I have to report this, but who do I report to? With a heavy heart, I drag myself off the wall and take shaky steps back to my room. Stepping into my space, I slam the door shut. My hand reaches up and touches the golden-chained pendant around my neck. This is the only thing I have left of my mother, I never knew it possesses such power. I sit on my bed, my mind fills up with thoughts. Who could have sent the assassin? Who in the pack wants me dead? Was my father’s death just a coincidence? Or is there something else playing behind the scenes? ******************** The noise outs

*********** The moment the words leave my mouth, it feels like I am being split in halve with a sword. My body trembles, my chest tightening so hard that it is difficult to draw air. I cough up blood again, my body failing as I slump to the ground. Julian is obviously still in pain, but he is a powerful wolf, so he can endure it. They ignore me and carry on with the ceremony. Julian is crowned Alpha, and I am in dire shock when he names Elena his Luna. She steps out of the crowd, her shoes making sharp, echoing clicks against the marble. Stopping right beside me, she crouches down, a low, menacing laugh rolling at the back of her throat, “Oh. Poor thing. To think that you actually believed you will become Alpha. Tsk tsk, pity.” I am already so weak. The pain from the bond severing, the betrayal playing before me now weighs heavily, pressing down against my chest. Still, I clench my jaw, refusing to let a single tear drop. Julian doesn’t just name her his Luna; he marks he

Julian’s POV It’s been a month since Ayla’s disappearance. The pain of the broken bond still buries deep inside my soul, surfacing as a dull, hollow ache in my chest whenever the room is quiet. My wolf is furious, and even though we already marked Elena, he still craves Ayla. In the end, he’d had no choice but to side with his master and accept Elena as our chosen mate. I hate Ayla. She left me with a scar that will never go away — a perfect reminder of her defiance. I will find her and make her suffer a thousand deaths for what she did. ‘She was our fated mate, Julian.’ My wolf growls. An angry sound that has been clawing my mind ever since the rejection. “Shut up! The earlier you accept Elena, the better. Forget about Ayla.” I bark aloud. He gives one quiet resentful growl before retreating into the dark corners of my mind. Sighing in relief, I throw myself onto the office couch, massaging my forehead with my fingers. The door clicks open and Elena slips in. “Julia

Ayla’s POV Sarah’s expression flickers to a sad one. It’s been a month and we were becoming really close, she’s been really nice to me. “Leave?” she whispers. “If you leave, where will you go? You know they will be looking for you.” “I know Sarah. That’s why I have to leave. If I don’t, you will get involved and I don’t want anything happening to you.” I sigh heavily, “I don’t know where I’ll go but I have to leave.” She sighs softly, closing her eyes before speaking, “I know somewhere you can go, but it’s quite far from here — and a bit dangerous.” “Where?” I ask. “The Vane estate. I hear they are recruiting new staffs. It’s very secured and owned by a very wealthy man. You will be safe there.” She said. Vane estate? I’ve never heard of this before. “Okay. But, how do I go there?” I ask her. “The selection holds tomorrow, so you have to leave early tomorrow.” She says, and grabs both my hands, squeezing softly, “I don’t know what you have been through in the past,

Ayla’s POV I stand frozen to the spot as my eyes fixes on the silhouette hanging in the air, blood completely drains off my face. What the hell is that? “Hey! Why are you just standing there?” one of the girls yell, attracting the attention of the housekeeper. I peel my eyes off the mist and continue walking. I try looking up at it again, but surprisingly, it has vanished. I sigh in confusion. Was it just my imagination? But I’m sure of what I had seen, it had been there. The doors to the maid quarters open and I was stunned. The space was absolutely massive. “Each of you will have your own room. Go ahead and choose one. Lunch will be served in the dining hall in an hour then you will begin chores.” “Yes ma’am.” We respond as the house keeper walks out of the quarters. I look around the maid quarters, searching for a separate space away from the crowd. Sighting a door at the other end of the quarters, i quickly walk over and turn the knob. The room looks plain and
