Chapter: Chapter 4I dragged my suitcase through the woods, its wheels catching on roots and rocks with every few steps.I had no direction, no purpose.The palace... the place I once called home... was behind me now. And I knew I could never return. Everything I had, everything I loved... gone. Just like that.The cold bit at my skin, sharp and uncaring. I was too tired to keep moving, but I couldn’t stop while the castle was still close enough to see. Looking at it only made my chest burn.Eventually, I found a small cluster of trees and dropped my suitcase beside me. I sank to the ground, pulled my knees to my chest, and let the tears fall. Again."How did it come to this?" I whispered, though no one could answer.Theo's face kept flashing in my head. The anger in his eyes. The way he looked at me like I was nothing. Josephine's smirk. Her lies. And Tasana—lifeless and still. I wiped my face, but the tears wouldn’t stop. "I didn't kill her," I murmured. My voice cracked. "I would never hurt h

Chapter: Chapter 3"No... no, no!" I wailed, falling to my knees beside her. "Tasana! Tasana!"Tasana's lifeless body lay on the cold floor of the grand hall, her usually calm-looking face now pale and still. She was just with me moments ago.Tears streamed down my face as I held onto her cold hand, pushing her, hoping she'd move, breathe, wake up. "This can't be happening!"I turned to Theo, my voice was very shaky. "Theo, she... she was fine earlier! We were talking just a few hours ago. This doesn't make any sense! What happened to her?"Theo didn't say anything. He loved his sister so much. He just stood there, frozen above her, staring down. And then, almost immediately, his pain turned into anger. He stepped forward and grabbed my arm."What did you do to her, Everleigh?" he demanded, his voice rough and loud enough to be heard through the crowd.My eyes widened, completely shocked by the accusations. "W-What? I didn't—""You were with her!" he shouted, cutting me off. "You were the last one to se

Chapter: Chapter 2I walked away.My legs moved, but my mind didn’t. Everything felt numb. The walls of the palace blurred as they closed in on me. My heart ached so badly, it felt like someone had taken a knife to it.I barely noticed the curious glances of the pack members as I stumbled out of the palace. I didn’t care. Let them watch.The cold hit me like a wave. I wasn’t wearing a coat. No shoes. Nothing to guard me from the bitter air. But I welcomed it. The chill grounded me, numbed me... it was better than the heat of betrayal that had just burned through every part of my soul.I walked without direction, without reason. I let my feet carry me wherever they pleased, because my mind… it wasn’t there. It was lost in a storm of questions, questions I didn’t have answers to.What do I do now? Where do I go? How could they do this to me?And then, I thought of the tiny life growing inside me.I stopped. My hands moved to cradle my stomach.“I won’t let them take you away from me,” I whispered, my voic

Chapter: Chapter 1"I'm here again..."I walked slowly into the small hospital room where I had spent countless hours over the past three years. It felt almost like a second home to me. But my heart wasn’t in the right place anymore—I was tired. The hospital had become a place I despised so deeply. I couldn’t even remember how many times I had come here, hoping for the same answer, only to leave disappointed.I sat down on the wooden stool, my hands gripping the edge tightly. This was supposed to be another routine visit, just like all the others. The whispers of the pack elders echoed in my head. I had overheard them talking, and their words had stayed with me ever since.“Luna Everleigh hasn’t given Alpha Theo an heir yet. What’s her use?” “Alpha Theo needs a strong alpha bloodline. She’s failing him.” “She’s just a useless miscreant who got lucky. Who knows what she must’ve done with her body that she hasn’t been able to reproduce.”I bit my lip, fighting back tears. Remembering the things they s
