1 - RELEASE

The concrete floor pressed freezing cold against Penelope’s cheek as a heavy boot slammed into her ribs.She curled her knees tighter to her chest and bit her split lip to keep from making a sound.Three female inmates stood over her in the dim cell."You think you're better than us?" the tallest one spat.The woman grabbed a handful of Penelope’s matted hair and yanked her head back, forcing Penelope to look up at her glowing gold eyes."You think your rich daddy is coming back to save you?" the inmate laughed.Penelope didn't answer.She closed her eyes and reached inward, desperately searching for the familiar warmth of her wolf. She just needed a tiny spark of strength to heal the broken skin on her face.There was nothing but silence.The bond had been dead for over a year, leaving her trapped in a fragile human body that couldn't handle much more abuse.Another kick landed hard on her thigh.Penelope gasped, tasting copper on her tongue, and braced for the next strike."Back off

2 - HOMECOMING

His hand hung in the empty space between them for a long second before he slowly pulled it back. Penelope stayed curled against the passenger door with her arms shielding her bruised head, waiting for a blow that never came.Orion cleared his throat and gripped the steering wheel tight enough to turn his knuckles white."Sit up," he muttered. "We're almost there."Penelope slowly lowered her arms. She kept her spine pressed hard against the leather seat for the rest of the drive, watching the dark trees blur past the window. She knew he was telling himself she was just being dramatic.When the SUV finally turned through the tall iron gates of the Visconti estate, the grounds were flooded with people. Delivery trucks blocked the circular driveway, and servants rushed back and forth carrying crates of wine and massive floral arrangements.Orion parked near the front steps and got out without looking at her.Penelope opened her own door and stepped onto the gravel. Her bare feet stung ag

3 - LAST PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE HERS

The music from the foyer faded into a dull hum as Penelope reached the top of the stairs.The upstairs hallway was dim and quiet, lined with heavy closed doors and thick carpets that muffled her footsteps. Her bare feet sank into the plush fabric as she turned away from the main guest rooms and walked toward the west wing.She didn't bother checking her old bedroom down the main corridor. She already knew someone else would be living there, and she didn't have the energy to look at her replaced furniture.Her fractured ribs throbbed with a constant, burning ache. Every breath she took felt tight and restricted.She just wanted to sit in the dirt for a few minutes.At the very end of the hall was the glass door that led into the indoor greenhouse.It used to be her sanctuary. Madeline had let her plant whatever she wanted in the long wooden planter boxes that lined the glass walls. They spent hours in there together when Penelope was little, pressing tiny seeds into the damp soil and s

4 - REJECTED AS THE DAUGHTER

The sun barely crested the horizon when Penelope woke up in the cold guest room.Her fractured ribs throbbed the moment she sat up. She ignored the pain and swung her legs over the edge of the mattress.She had a reason to get out of bed today.For fifteen years, she was the only person who managed Madeline’s morning medication. She knew the exact ratio of crushed willow bark for the Luna's joint pain. She knew how many drops of tincture to put in her chamomile tea.Penelope dressed quickly in the plain gray clothes she found folded on a chair.She walked down the quiet hallway toward the east wing kitchen. Her bare feet made almost no sound on the floor. Her mind ran through the familiar checklist of Madeline's diet.The routine felt like a lifeline. It was the last thread connecting her to the family she used to know.She passed the grand foyer. The estate was a disaster after the Lycan King's arrival banquet last night. Empty wine glasses littered the side tables, and crushed rose

5 - PRISON NEVER ENDED

The soapy water seeped into the rough fabric of Penelope’s pants, soaking through to her bruised knees.She looked at the puddle spreading across the marble, then slowly tilted her head up to look at Augustus. His jaw was set hard. His eyes burned with the same disgust he had looked at her with during her sentencing two years ago."Get off the floor," Augustus ordered, his voice echoing in the long gallery.Evelyn scrambled to her feet. She dropped her rag and bravely stepped between them, holding her arms out to block Augustus from getting closer."She's just working, Augustus," Evelyn said. "Leave her alone.""Watch your mouth, Evelyn," Augustus warned. He didn't even bother looking at the maid. He kept his gaze locked firmly on Penelope. "I said get up."Penelope didn't want a fight. She slowly pushed herself off the wet stone. Her fractured ribs gave a sharp, burning twinge, but she swallowed the pain and kept her face completely blank."Do you think Orion is blind?" Augustus aske
