Chapter: CHAPTER 6 NICHOLAS’ POVThe MoonCrown pack’s territory was quiet as I approached, a cool breeze stirring the air. It carried the faint scent of pine and earth, but beneath it lingered something more—a feeling of unease. It wasn’t the looming threat of rogues that concerned me. No, my thoughts were entirely occupied by her.Tiara.Her name haunted me since our meeting in the woods. I hadn’t been able to forget the desperation in her voice, the bruises on her body, or the way she trembled when she cried. A part of me had wanted to storm the MoonCrown pack then and there, but I knew patience was key. Now, Alpha Darius himself had come to me, asking for support. It was the perfect opportunity to see for myself how she was faring.The pack house loomed ahead, a grand structure that stood as a symbol of power and pride. It was well-maintained, its high windows gleaming in the sunlight. Yet, the grandeur of the place felt hollow, as if it concealed rot beneath its polished surface.I dismounted at the

Chapter: CHAPTER 5 NICHOLAS: ALPHA OF THE FORESTHOWL PACKThe woods had always been my sanctuary. Ever since I lost her, my mate, this was where I found solace—a space where the towering trees and gentle rustle of leaves allowed me to breathe, even if only for a moment. Away from pack duties. The pain of her absence never truly faded, but the forest’s quiet strength reminded me that life, no matter how cruel, continued.I walked along the familiar path, the moonlight filtering through the dense canopy above. My wolf stirred within me, restless as always, but I kept him leashed. He and I had been at odds since her death. He wanted to move, to fight, to feel alive. I wanted to grieve in peace.I stopped by a clearing, leaning against a tree as my thoughts consumed me. The moon hung low, bathing the forest in its silvery glow. My heart ached, a dull, constant pain I had grown used to, yet I couldn’t bring myself to let it go.A sudden rustling snapped me out of my reverie. My wolf perked up instantly, hi

Chapter: CHAPTER 4TIARA'S POVI was summoned early in the morning. The knock on the door of my small, cold room startled me awake. I wasn’t used to visitors unless it was Nina, and she never knocked. The guard outside didn’t bother to explain, just muttered something about the elders and my father.Dread settled in my chest as I dressed quickly, pulling on the same tattered gown I had worn the day before at the party. It was the best I had, despite its many stitches. It didn’t matter what I looked like; they wouldn’t care. They never did.When I arrived at the great hall, the atmosphere was heavy. The elders sat in a semicircle, their faces solemn and unreadable. My father stood at the center, tall and imposing, while Victoria and Phoebe flanked him like a queen and her princess. Phoebe’s smile was smug, her dress perfect and dazzling as usual. Once again, I found myself doing a mental comparison of the both of us. This was the life we were both supposed to have, but somehow, I felt like a speck of d

Chapter: CHAPTER 3TIARA'S POVTears streamed down my face, my vision blurred as I stumbled through the dark corridors of the pack house. The sounds of laughter and music from the hall still echoed faintly behind me, a cruel reminder of the world I would never belong to. My heart pounded in my chest as I made my way to the only person I thought could give me answers: My father. Alpha Darius. It was true that he didn't love or want me, but for answers, he owed me. He was in his study, seated at the grand oak table with his beta, discussing matters of the pack. Usually, the parties were hosted by Victoria just so she could showcase Phoebe. The alpha hardly participated unless it was important.The room smelled of leather and wood polish, but the air was heavy with the weight of authority. My father looked up as I entered, his expression turning cold as soon as his eyes landed on me."Tiara," he said, his tone sharp. "What are you doing here? This is no place for you."I ignored his words. I clasped m

Chapter: CHAPTER 2TIARA'S POVThe sounds of laughter and music echoed through the pack house. Tonight was a celebration, though I didn’t know what exactly we were celebrating. It didn’t matter. These events were never for me. My role was always the same: invisible, unnoticed, and burdened with the endless tasks of a servant.In the small servant quarters, I stood behind Phoebe as she examined herself in the mirror. The dress she had chosen for the night was stunning—soft satin in deep emerald that clung to her figure and shone with every movement. Her curls framed her face like a halo, though her cruel smile reminded me she was anything but angelic."Tiara," she snapped, her sharp tone pulling me out of my thoughts. "Stop standing there like a fool and help me lace this up!"I stepped forward, my fingers fumbling with the delicate ties of her dress. She smacked my hand away with a huff. "Are you completely useless? Honestly, I don’t know why Father hasn’t just thrown you out yet. A dimwit like you is

Chapter: CHAPTER 1TIARA'S POVIt was my eighteenth birthday and I was supposed to transform into my wolf form for the first time.But the cell was hardly the place for it. It was so dark I could not see myself.I curled into myself on the damp floor of the cell, the stone beneath me unforgiving. It had been hours—maybe a few days—since they locked me here. Time meant nothing in this darkness. The only sound was my shallow breathing, echoing off the cold walls. The walls were so thick and cold I could hardly bring myself to lean on it. They hated me. All of them.The pack, my family, everyone. To them, I was the cursed one, the girl with the star-shaped birthmark on her neck. My fingers brushed against the mark, the raised skin a permanent reminder of what they said I was—a bringer of misfortune. They whispered that my mother, the former Luna, had died because of me. That the moment I came into this world, she left it. And so, they punished me for simply existing. My father, alpha Darius of the MoonCro
