The entire room falls into a deathly silence. I can see the horror on Jude's face, not because Sean's words had caught him off guard, but clearly because he hadn't expected my own fiancé to say something like that. My father is the first to react, leaning towards me as if he wanted to shield me from the words that had already been spoken, still hanging in the air.Sean, on the other hand, didn't seem hesitant or embarrassed. On the contrary, his eyes stared at me impatiently. As if the fact that I had just woken up from a months-long coma didn't matter. As if our years-long engagement was a piece of trash he wanted to discard as quickly as possible.For a moment, I almost caught myself laughing. In fact, I think I would have burst out laughing if I'd had the strength to.What a sick joke.Of course, none of that mattered to him. I was so incredibly stupid to think that damned bastard was there to apologize. Why would he be? He knew what he was doing when he left me completely defensel

After what happened when I first woke up, my father completely forbade any visits from anyone other than himself or the healers.I couldn't feel any calmer, though.How could I? My strength hadn't fully returned yet, but my mind was more alert than ever. I knew what was happening out there while my father kept me locked in that room under the guise of needing to recover. Rosalind had completely stolen the credit for my sacrifice. Sean was probably moving heaven and earth to get the temple to accept his request to annul our engagement. Leon wasn't exaggerating when he said he'd exile me as soon as he became the new alpha. I knew him well enough to know that.I closed the botany book I was holding, the words simply refusing to make sense. I couldn't concentrate on anything other than what my brother and my fiancé… Well, soon-to-be ex-fiancé… Had told me. My chest still tightened at the thought of how easily they had discarded me, and I hated it.And I hated even more the fact that I ha

For a brief moment, his face lost that cunning expression, and I was secretly pleased that I had finally managed to disarm him.It didn't last more than a second, however.A sound of pure amusement escaped through his teeth, more like air being pushed out than a laugh. His eyes narrowed in my direction and, once again, I felt like one of the plants I had in my greenhouse: being closely examined so that no change would go unnoticed.“Is that your request?” He crossed his arms, but this time he didn’t seem tense at all “What? I’m not worthy of flowers or a candlelit dinner…?”“Why are you still here, Alpha Cross?” I ignored his bait, returning his inquisitive gaze “I mean, why are you still roaming freely through my family’s territory, if theoretically Rosalind solved the problem of the stone demons attacking the four packs? After a month, you should be in your own lands, protecting your borders against us, your enemies. That makes me think there’s still something here you want. Am I wr

“Are you sure you’re not feeling ill?” Verity’s insistent questions followed me every step of the way, however short the path I was taking “Or dizzy? Or nauseous? When the healers said you could try getting some fresh air, I think they were talking about sitting outside for a bit or something. Not making that kind of effort.”“I’ll be fine, Verity.” I chuckled softly, even though my mood was gloomy “We haven’t even traveled that far. Besides… I really need to pray. Ask the Goddess to show me the right path.”My words grew fainter and fainter as we approached the doors of my family's shrine, the dark wood carved with lunar designs that I knew like the back of my hand. Most houses in the pack had a small space or piece of furniture dedicated solely to giving thanks or offering prayers to the Moon Goddess. But, as Alphas, my ancestors had dedicated an entire room to it, almost like a miniature chapel.From the very first day of my life, I had been taught that this was the place I should

Almost two days had passed since Adrien Cross had visited my room. And although I knew my father had probably worked hard behind the scenes to ensure none of this further damaged my reputation or reached the wrong ears… I knew it was only a matter of time before that happened. Rumors were inevitable and, frankly, from now on I was counting on them.I just didn't expect it to generate such an unwanted visit.I was sitting under a parasol in my private garden. I still hadn't received permission from the healers to tinker with my greenhouse as I'd like, but it was nice to be outdoors for more than five minutes without Verity panicking as if I were about to dissolve like sugar. And, even though I tried to keep it to myself, it was good to be able to walk around without feeling my head spinning as if I were going to faint.Perhaps finally making up my mind about my plans would have been good for my health. Since Cross and I last saw each other, those sudden waves of weakness had no longer t
