Regina’s POVMy whole body turned cold instantly.Shit…someone had recognized us…SHIT!!!!“Hover, we need to leave. NOW!” I pleaded, trying to pry him off the terrified staff member.Hover’s eyes were bloodshot. He seemed as though he didn’t hear me at all.“Tell me he’s lying!” he screamed again, but I yanked him back with all my strength.“Let’s go!” I shouted, dragging him away as the crowd started to close in.We bolted towards the car, pushing through the mass of people. Someone were shouting “catch them!”; but we pushed through anyway.My heart pounded, adrenaline surging through my veins.We stumbled into the car, and I fumbled with the keys, my hands shaking. The engine roared to life, and I slammed my foot on the gas, tires screeching as we sped out of the market.It wasn’t until the market faded into the distance did I have the time to roar at Hover:“What the fuck were you thinking?! Exposing ourselves like that? We need to get out of here as fast as we can!”Hover at in th
Regina’s POVI knew that those people at the market might tell on us.But I didn’t know the soldiers would come this fast!Hover’s eyes widened with anger.“We need to move, now!” he said urgently, grabbing my arm, and turned to the old man. “Come with us!”“No! I will only slow you down! Hurry, leave! I know where to hide!” The old man waved his hand and disappeared around the corner.We darted towards the car, but the soldiers were closing in fast, their shouts growing louder.I could heart my loud heartbeat as I ran. Every second stretching into an eternity.Just as we reached the car, a spotlight from one of the vehicles swept over us, illuminating our faces.“There they are!” a voice yelled. “Get them!”Panic surged through me. We were trapped!I fumbled with the keys, my hands shaking. “Come on, come on!” I muttered, desperately trying to start the car.Hover scanned our surroundings, his face set in grim determination.“We can’t outrun them in this,” he said, his voice steady a
Regina’s POVAfter gathering our strength and organizing our thoughts, Hover and I prepared to hit the road again.We were now officially heading toward my hometown—Ever Moon Pack.My emotions were a tumultuous mix. Coming back home stirred memories of a life I had left behind. Before, I had once been a princess, cherished and respected. Now, I was returning as a refugee, hunted and haunted by the past.A couple of hours later we were near the border. As we came close to the checkup point, I pulled out a worn duffel bag filled with disguises.“Where did you get these?” Hover glanced at me, asking.“From the market. Before you punched that guy to the floor—Eyes on the road.”We couldn’t risk being recognized. Because ridiculous as it may seem—everyone in Ever Moon Pack was hunting me down and seeing me as a murder.I chose a simple, nondescript outfit—jeans, a faded hoodie, and a baseball cap to hide my face. I handed Hover a pair of sunglasses and a hat to obscure his features."Here,
Regina’s POVThe moment the radio went silent.The full weight of my grandfather’s death crashed down on me.My hands trembled, and so was my soul.The tears I had been holding back spilled over, blurring my vision.I suddenly threw open the door and jumped out. The car was still moving. My feet barely hit the ground before I stumbled and fell, but I didn’t care.The pain in my chest was worse than anything physical.“Fuck…REGINA!!!” Hover shouted.He slammed on the brakes and stopped the car. He jumped out, calling my name, his voice laced with fear.But I didn’t hear him. I was overwhelmed by those emotions.Getting up on my feet, I started running, desperate to escape the reality that had just crashed down on me.Hover caught up to me quickly, grabbing my arm and spun me around.“What the fuck are you doing? You could’ve gotten yourself killed!” he snarled.I jerked away from him, tears streaming down my face as I shouted back, “GOOD! Let me die! What’s the point of living anyway?
Regina’s POV…Gray.The world around me seemed to blur. All I could focus on was him.My eyes became blur as I looked at him, tears welling up.It had been so long since I last saw him, so many days filled with anguish and pain. The day we last met was when Gray got poisoned, the same day I got framed for murdering him.We didn’t even get to speak to each other at that time. I was held down by Torres’s soldiers. And his body was ravaged by the poison coursing through his veins.Seeing him now, standing tall and healthy, a wave of emotion crashed over me.Relief, joy, and sorrow tangled together, making it hard to breathe. My heart ached with the intensity of it.Gray looked just as I remembered, yet different. Stronger, more composed, and his expression was much colder.I wanted nothing more than to run to him, to throw my arms around him and feel the warmth of his embrace. To tell him how much I missed him, how much I loved him.But I couldn’t.I was still a fugitive, still the one t
Regina’s POVI felt a deep ache gnawing at my heart as I stepped out of the memorial center.Gray was moving on, and I was stuck, a fugitive in everyone's eyes.Hover parked the car in a small alley. I wandered to our car, my mind swirling with frustration.“Hey.” he got out of the car the moment he saw me in the rear window, “How’d it go?”“…He’s getting married, Hover,” I muttered.Hover froze, “Who?”“Gray. He’s getting married!” Tears welled up in my eyes at this moment, “And there’s nothing I can do to stop it! And I also can’t even get close enough to figure out what really happened to Grandpa. It’s like…I’m completely powerless!”“Take it easy. We’ll figure out a way eventually—”“But I don’t want to take things slowly! Soon Gray will be engaged to a woman that I don’t even know of and everything will be over then!” I growled, unable to control my strong emotions.Hover narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze became sharp.“Regina, why are you so upset about your brother getting m
Regina’s POVAlicia’s lips parted, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.“You… want to go in my place?” she repeated, her voice low with disbelief. “Are you insane? Do you even know what you're getting yourself into?”“Yeah…I know exactly what I’m doing.”Alicia hesitated, staring at me like I’d lost my mind, “You don’t understand. Being Alpha Gray’s Luna isn’t some fairy tale—it’s a cage. People will scrutinize your every move. Most girls entering the contest dream about being with him, but you’ll quickly realize that being his Luna isn’t about love or happiness. It’s about power. He’s not looking for a soulmate; he’s looking for someone strong enough to manage a pack like Ever Moon.”She must have been thinking about these for a while already. And frankly speaking, she wasn’t wrong.I could tell that Alicia wasn’t one of those silly girls. And she was kind enough to warn me about all these.“Is this about money then?” she asked, still looking perplexed. “You want to live a
Regina’s POVAs I walked into Alicia’s hotel, I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself.The luxurious lobby was even more intimidating now that I wasn’t just passing through—I had to blend in, become Alicia for real.I adjusted my posture, squared my shoulders, and headed toward the elevator.As the doors slid shut behind me, I caught my reflection in the mirrored walls.With my pale gold hair and Alicia’s refined clothing, I looked the part. But on the inside, my heart was pounding.When I stepped out of the elevator and approached Alicia’s suite, two guards stationed by the door immediately straightened up, their eyes widening with surprise.…Did they sense something?My stomach twisted into a knot, but I forced a smile and nodded at them, hoping they couldn’t hear the rapid thud of my heart.“Lady Alicia, you’re back!” one of them cried his tone a mix of relief and concern. “You had us worried when you disappeared a couple of days ago.”I swallowed hard, keeping my voice stead
