Eliana POV "Look at her dress," a middle-aged woman near the front whispered, nudging her friend. "It matches his suit. Late Alpha Marcus always planned for this, you know.""Of course it's Eliana," the man next to her agreed quietly. "The late Alpha trained her himself. She's lived in the main house since she was eight years old. Who else would Silas pick?"Eliana stood near the wall, hearing every word. She smoothed down the front of her soft silver dress, trying to calm the nervous fluttering in her stomach.Ten years ago, when she was just an eight-year-old girl, Alpha Marcus brought her home after leading his warriors to defend a neighboring pack from a brutal attack. Her parents had been killed in the fight, leaving her alone. Alpha Marcus adopted her on the spot, bringing her into the main pack house and treating her like his own daughter. She grew up sitting at his table and training beside his son, Silas.The whole pack always assumed she was destined to stand beside Silas o

Silas POV Silas stood by the large glass window in his study, looking down at the courtyard. The sky was gray, and a cold wind blew through the pine trees surrounding the Moonstone Pack territory. Down below, he watched a line of Omegas carrying heavy wooden tubs of laundry and dirty dishes.At the end of the line was a small, thin girl carrying a tub almost as big as her upper body.It was Eliana.As he watched her stumble slightly under the weight, a sharp twist of guilt hit Silas right in his chest. It was the same feeling he got whenever he remembered her eighteenth birthday party two years ago. He could still see the way she looked up at him from the cold floor, her eyes filled with tears after he broke the mate bond and rejected her in front of everyone.For ten years, she had lived in his house. She had eaten at his dinner table, trained in his yard, and laughed with him like a sister. Then, in just one night, she became an outcast.Silas squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep

Eliana POV Eliana adjusted the glass vase of fresh yellow flowers on the wooden bedside table. Her hands were tired, and her fingers were raw from hours of scrubbing floors, but she took extra care to make sure the petals looked pretty.She had just finished decorating the first guest room down the hall and had rushed into this corner suite to finish her final chore. She was already running behind schedule. The head maid had given her a mountain of work that morning—scrubbing the lower kitchen floors, washing heavy linen sheets, and carrying iron buckets of freezing water up three flights of stairs.Eliana wiped a light bead of sweat from her forehead with the back of her sleeve. She took a quick step back to inspect the room. The bed was neatly made, the heavy curtains were drawn back to let in the afternoon light, and the fire in the fireplace was crackling softly."Done," she whispered to herself with a quiet sigh of relief.She grabbed her empty cleaning basket, turned around, an

Valerius POV The main hall was bright, filled with the loud chatter of the Moonstone Pack.At the head of the long dining table sat the highest-ranking members. Alpha Silas sat in the middle, with Lady Lyra right beside him. Valerius and Commander Vance sat across from them, while Beta Kaelen, Gamma Damon, and old Beta Jonathan took the remaining seats near the center. Further down the table sat the lower-ranked wolves and their mates.The initial treaty papers had already been signed in Alpha Silas's office earlier that evening. Now, the feast was underway. Large silver platters of roasted meats, fresh bread, and rich side dishes were already laid out across the long wooden tables.As the guests ate, a line of pack omegas entered the hall carrying heavy glass pitchers of wine and water, moving quietly between the chairs to fill everyone's glasses.Valerius kept his posture relaxed, barely touching the food on his plate. His sharp eyes scanned the room until he caught sight of a fami

Eliana POV Eliana rushed through the swinging doors of the kitchen, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.She leaned back against the cool prep table, trembling as she pressed her hands to her burning cheeks.What is he doing? What is Valerius doing?Her mind was spiraling. Why would he touch her hand? In front of the entire dining hall, right at the high table? If Alpha Silas or Lady Lyra had seen that small, lingering touch, they would have punished her terribly. He was playing a dangerous game, and she was the one who would pay the price if anyone noticed.She took a deep, shaky breath and forced herself to move. Panic wouldn't save her; work would.Joining the other omegas, Eliana returned to the main hall to clear the heavy silver platters and dirty plates. She kept her head down the entire time, intentionally avoiding the high table, keeping her distance from Valerius's intense gaze.She had just stacked the last pile of dishes in the kitchen when a senior p
