CHAPTER 61

MIRA’S POVI walked back towards Declan’s chambers with my packed items in my arms, and my mind still buzzing from everything that had happened. The confrontation with Aunt Mae and Claudia, the slap that still stung my cheek, and the whispered threats that echoed in my ears. But I refused to let them break me. I was done being their victim.As I walked through the corridor, I saw my private maid, Betty, approaching. She bowed when saw me, and I nodded in acknowledgments preparing to continue on my way. But she hesitated, and I paused.“Are you okay, my Lady?” Betty asked softly, her voice full of concern.I turned back to look at her, and she immediately bowed her head. “I am sorry for the question, my Lady. I should not have asked.”I shook my head and smiled, “It is fine, Betty. But why did you ask?”She hesitated, then said quietly, “The whole palace knows about the quarrel that happened earlier, My Lady, and everyone feels sorry for you. We all know the truth — that you are not ba

CHAPTER 62

RONAN’S POVI stood in the middle of my chambers, my hands clenched into fists at my sides, and my mouth tight with barely suppressed anger. Nova’s attempt to seduce me earlier had left me feeling disgusted and violated, and I could still feel the ghost of her hands on my skin, the memory of her dropping her towel and standing before me completely bare. I had pushed her away, but the anger and frustration had not left me. She had no right to do that, no right to try and force herself on me like I was some kind of prize to be won.I paced the room, my mind racing with the thoughts of the wedding my father was forcing me. Nova was not the woman I wanted. She had never been the woman I wanted. I had only agreed to the arrangement because I had not felt anything for anyone else, because I had convinced myself that love was not something I needed. But now, everything had changed. Now, there was Mira.I thought about her constantly. Her face, her voice, and the way she looked at me like I w

CHAPTER 63

MIRA’S POVI woke up the next morning with sunlight streaming through the curtains, and for a moment, I forgot where I was. Then I remembered — Declan’s chambers. I sat up quickly and looked around, but he was nowhere to be seen. The bed beside me was cold, and his side of the room was empty. But I did not care. Actually, I was very relieved. I quickly packed my things and left the room without looking back.The corridors were quiet as I made my way back to my own chambers, my mind still buzzing with everything that had happened the night before. But as I walked, I overheard two maids whispering near a corner. They were discussing the quarrel from last night, even though their voices were low, but it was clear enough for me to hear.“I heard the Luna was shouting at the Alpha last night,” one of them said. “Can you imagine? After three years of marriage, she still cannot keep her husband interested. Maybe she is not seductive enough. Maybe that is why he does not want her. That is a s

CHAPTER 64

RONAN’S POVThe meeting room was thick with tension as I sat at the head of the long table, surrounded by my court officials. We had been discussing pack matters for over two hours — border disputes, trade routes, and the growing concerns about the rogue activity near the eastern territories. The arguments had been heated, with voices rising and hands slamming on the table, and I could feel a headache forming behind my eyes.“We cannot afford to be lenient with the rogues,” one of my officials said, with a firm voice. “If we show any weakness, they will take it as an invitation to push further into our lands.”“Leniency is not the issue,” another countered. “The issue is resources. We do not have enough warriors to patrol the entire border while also maintaining our presence in the central territories. We need to prioritize.”I listened carefully, weighing their arguments. “We will increase patrols on the eastern border,” I said finally. “Pull some warriors from the central territori

CHAPTER 65

MIRA’S POVI left Zara’s boutique with a lightness in my step that I had not felt in a very long time, and the cool evening air brushed against my skin as I made my way back to the pack house, my mind buzzing with excitement and nervous energy about the plan I had set in motion. I could not stop smiling to myself as I thought about what was about to happen, because for the first time in three years, I was not just a victim waiting to be saved, I was the one pulling the strings, and the thought of it made me feel powerful in a way I had never felt before.When I reached my chambers, I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a moment, and let out a breath I had not realized I was holding. Then I got to work, gathering everything I would need for the night— the oils, the perfumes, and the beautiful revealing gown I had set aside for Lily. I laid them out on the bed, arranging them carefully, and I could not help but laugh at the irony of it all. Here I was, preparing another

CHAPTER 66

MIRA’S POVI stood frozen in place as the piercing scream echoed through the hallways, and I could feel Claudia’s grip on my arm tighten as she turned to look at me with wide, panicked eyes. Her face was pale, and her mouth was hanging open, and for a moment, she looked like she had seen a ghost. I, on the other hand, was trying my very hardest not to burst out laughing because I had a very good feeling I knew exactly what that scream was all about.“What was that?” Claudia whispered, her voice trembling with fear.I shrugged innocently, as I fought desperately to keep a straight face. “I do not know. Maybe we should go and find out.”She did not wait for me to finish. She grabbed my arm and started dragging me down the hallway toward Declan’s chambers, her steps quick and frantic. I stumbled along behind her, biting my lip so hard I nearly drew blood to stop myself from laughing out loud.As we rushed through the corridors, I could not help but think about how perfectly my plan was w

CHAPTER 67

RONAN’S POVThe morning sunlight was streaming through my curtains when my door burst open with such force that it slammed against the wall, jolting me awake from a deep and restless sleep. I blinked groggily, with my mind still foggy, and saw my father standing in the doorway with an expression of barely contained excitement on his face.“Oh goodness, what is the matter?” I asked, my voice thick with sleep. “Why did you just barge in like that? Could you not have knocked?”My father ignored my question completely. He strode over to my bed, grabbed my arm, and pulled me upright with surprising strength for a man his age. “Get up and get dressed,” he said, in a firm and commanding voice. “You have important people to meet. They are waiting for you at breakfast.”I rubbed my eyes and frowned. “Who? What important people?” I asked, sleepily.But my father was already walking out the door, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. “Just get dressed and come down!” he called over his shoulde

CHAPTER 68

MIRA’S POVThe door slammed shut behind Claudia, and the silence that followed was almost as loud as the shouting that had come before it. I stood there in the middle of Declan’s chambers, still smiling from the chaos I had caused, and I could feel Declan’s eyes burning into me like hot coals. He was standing near his desk, his face red with fury, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides. Dorian was hovering in the corner, looking like he wanted to disappear into the floor.Declan took a step toward me, and whispered in a dangerous voice. “What were you thinking?” he demanded. “Setting that maid on me like that? Do you have any idea how humiliating that was?”I laughed lightly to myself and the sound seemed to make him even angrier. “I was thinking that my husband looked so stressed and tense that he might actually explode,” I said sweetly. “I was only trying to help you relax, Declan. A good wife always looks out for her husband’s well-being.”“Help me relax?” he spat out

CHAPTER 69

MIRA’S POVI made my way back to the palace with a lightness in my step that I had not felt in years. The visit to Zara had lifted my spirits, and the laughter we had shared was still echoing in my mind. I felt powerful, confident, and more alive than I had ever been. Declan had no idea what he was in for, and I could not wait to see his face when I walked through his door. The thought of his frustration and anger brought me so much joy that I almost skipped down the hallway.When I reached Declan’s chambers, I heard voices coming from inside. They were raised, sharp, and full of tension. I paused at the door, as my curiosity increased, and I leaned closer to listen. I recognized Declan’s voice immediately, but the other voice belonged to Dorian. They were arguing, and from the sounds of it, it was not a small disagreement. It sounded like a full-blown fight.“I do not like this,” Dorian said, his voice tight with frustration. “One woman was bad enough. Mira was tolerated because she

CHAPTER 70

RONAN’S POVThe evening had finally arrived, and I stood in front of the mirror in my chambers, adjusting my collar with trembling hands. My reflection stared back at me, looking so pale and hollow-eyed, like a man trapped in a nightmare he could not escape. I had spent the entire day trying to find a way out of this dinner, but my father had made sure that every possible escape route was blocked. Guards had been posted at every exit, and Silas had been assigned to other duties, leaving me completely alone to face what was coming.I had thought about faking an illness, but my father would have seen right through it. I had thought about disappearing, but the consequences would have been too severe. I had thought about confronting Nova directly, but she was too wrapped up in her own fantasies to listen to reason. So here I was, dressed in my finest suit, preparing to walk into a room full of people who believed I was about to get engaged to a woman I am in love with.Nova was waiting fo
