Chapter 51The morning sky over Lunar Ridge Academy was a pale, icy grey. The heavy snow from the night before had covered the grand stone buildings in a thick, freezing white blanket. But inside the corridors, the atmosphere was not peaceful. It was boiling with a wild, quiet panic.The rumors on the dark campus forums had already spread to every single corner of the school. Every noble student was talking about the dirty photos of the Principal and the scholarship maid. The administrators were whispering in locked rooms, and the guards looked tense, their hands resting nervously on their silver weapons.Evangeline Cross walked down the main hallway of the top floor, holding a clean feather duster and a wooden bucket.Her body was aching with a deep, punishing heat.

Heavy, freezing rain slammed violently against the grand stone walls, turning the snow into dangerous, icy mud.Instead of staying inside the safe executive penthouse, Alistair Vance had walked out onto the private roof garden of the tower. He needed the freezing water to cool the wild, territorial fury burning inside his veins.Evangeline Cross followed him out into the dark night. She did not wear a heavy winter coat; she wore only her simple grey maid uniform. Within seconds, the freezing rain completely soaked her dark hair, gluing the wet strands to her pale face.Her body was aching with a brutal, white-hot heat.

Chapter 55The grand assembly hall was freezing cold and completely silent. Hundreds of noble students sat in the dark rows, their pale faces filled with deep dread. Along the stone walls, the austere Council Enforcers stood like iron statues, holding their massive silver spears. The heavy physical pressure of so many Alpha wolves filled the air, making it incredibly hard to breathe.I stood completely alone in the center of the high stage.A sharp, white-hot heat was throbbing violently behind my ribs. The royal magic fire inside my blood was screaming against the hostile Alpha pressure in the room. A thick, bitter pool of copper blood flooded my tongue. I tightly clamped my mouth shut, forcing my teeth together as I forcefully swallowed the hot blood back down my throat. I refused to let anyone see my pain. I kept my posture perfectly straight, my head held high, and my face locked into a flawless, stoic mask of absolute innocence. Beneath my wet grey uniform sleeves, my golden star

Chapter 57The mandatory assembly was called at noon inside the grand assembly hall. Over eight hundred noble students sat in the dark wooden rows. Silent, masked Council Enforcers stood around the room holding long silver spears. The air was cold, heavy, and full of fear after the official tribunal ruling.I stood near the back of the room by the heavy oak doors, holding my simple wooden mop.My body was aching with a deep, hot pain. The royal magic fire inside my blood was thrashing violently against my ribs, reacting to the heavy Alpha pressure filling the hall. A bitter taste of blood flooded my mouth. I tightly shut my mouth, forcing my teeth together as I swallowed the hot blood back down my throat. I kept my back straight and my face calm.

Chapter 59The winter afternoon was freezing cold and quiet. Deep fog hung low over the snowy courtyard of Lunar Ridge Academy.Inside the elite student dormitories, the news of the assembly had spread like wildfire. Everyone was talking about how Principal Alistair Vance had slammed his own son against a stone pillar, wrapped his grand Alpha cloak around me, and declared me his permanent guest.I stood in the center of the small dorm room I shared with my best friend, Chloe Mercer.I was no longer wearing my grey maid uniform. I wore a simple black sweater, neat dark pants, and my old sneakers. Beside my bed sat two simple wooden suitcases. They held all my belongings in the world: a few worn clothes, my school textbooks, and a small framed photo of my adoptive parents, David and Mrs. Cross.Chloe sat on the edge of her bed, her bright bronze curls messy and her brown eyes wide with excitement."I still cannot believe it, Eva!" Chloe squeaked in a happy whisper, holding her hands ove
