She was the only one who could offer the solace I desperately needed.I made my way to the edge of the woods where Amelia's shabby hut stood, and my trembling hand knocked on the rickety wooden door. When she opened it, my emotions took over, and tears streamed down my face.“Oh, Amelia!” I exclaimed as I surged forward to give her a hug. She was startled, but her motherly warmth enveloped me like a soothing balm.“What’s wrong, darling?” she asked, her gentle voice breaking through my sobs.

The sound of her uneven breaths filled the room as she struggled to compose herself.I couldn't help but notice the way her long hair, usually so sleek and shiny, now stuck to her face in tangled strands, as if mirroring the chaos within her. Her delicate frame seemed smaller somehow as if the weight of her pain had compressed her into a ball of misery.The room was quiet except for the sound of her weeping, and I could feel the heaviness of regret pressing down on me.

Shea’s POVAs I walked towards my chambers, thoughts of Hektor's embrace and apology lingered in my mind. A wave of warmth flushed my cheeks, causing me to blush. Inside my head, my wolf, Evergreen, chuckled mischievously, teasing me that Hektor had finally recognized my worth. "He knows that you're important to him now. Maybe soon, you'll be sleeping in his chambers and live with your prince, just like in those fairy tales you love so much," she said with a sly tone.I rolled my eyes at her playful words, but deep down, I couldn't deny the thrill that Hektor's words had given me. He had apologized for his past mistakes, and I felt like I was finally seeing a new side of him.As I entered my chambers, I couldn't help but replay the scene in my head.

Shea’s POVI couldn't stop thinking about Hektor. The moment I saw him go out of the bathroom earlier, my heart skipped a beat. His chiseled jawline, his intense gaze, and the way his hair was slicked back made him look like he was carved out of marble. It was the first time I saw his body clearly. In the dungeon, it was too dark to appreciate his features. But earlier, I finally saw it under the light. My eyes couldn't help but wander over his well-defined muscles.I couldn't believe how much Hektor was occupying my whole being by just letting me see his body. I was under his spell, unable to shake him off. Even as I scrubbed the kitchen floors, my mind kept drifting off to him. I could still see his piercing eyes and feel his gaze on me. It was like his presence was still lingering around me.As I continued cleaning, I heard a faint whisper in my head. It was my spirit wolf, Evergreen. "Shea, what’s wrong? You seemed distracted," she said."I can't help it," I replied. "I keep thin
Ashley’s POVI step into the grand palace hall, and a smile tugs at the corners of my lips as I absorb the scene unfolding before me. The hardworking slaves move with agile hands, diligently scrubbing every corner and crevice. Their swift motions bring the hall to life, and the gleaming surfaces reflect their meticulous efforts. A sense of purity and serenity fills the air, wrapping around me like a comforting embrace.Watching the slaves engrossed in their tasks fills me with deep satisfaction.

This is the life I was meant for, a life where I am adorned with the highest reverence and treated with a mix of awe and respect.Ah, how I adore this existence.Lost in the enchantment of the moment, my thoughts are abruptly shattered by an unexpected collision. Annoyance bubbles up inside me, ready to burst, but as I turn to see who's responsible, I'm taken aback. It's Shea, the very same person I've b
Shea's POVThe next day, I couldn't contain my excitement as I made my way to Hektor's room for my cleaning duties. But as soon as I entered, something didn't feel right. Hektor, who had always been friendly, now seemed distant and cold. His once-warm eyes now pierced through me with an icy indifference that gave me shivers.The room itself felt like a forgotten chamber, swallowed by darkness and filled with the smell of alcohol. Empty bottles were scattered across the floor, proof of his recent activity. It was as if an evil presence had taken hold of him, snatching away the light that used to radiate from within.I put on a brave face, mustering a smile to reach Hektor's heart of ice. "Hey, Hektor," I greeted him, my voice full of hope. But it was like my words disappeared into nothingness.He hardly paid me any attention, his eyes wandering past me as if I were invisible.

Shea's POV I ran quickly to the stream, feeling my heart beating fast and hard. Tears were flowing down my face, making everything blurry as I tried to understand what had just happened. Hektor, the man I loved, had hurt me once again, causing me deep pain and breaking the trust I had worked so hard to build. Deep within my thoughts, my faithful spirit wolf, Evergreen, emerged with sadness evident in her eyes. She softly spoke to me amidst the turmoil within my mind, saying, "I'm sorry, Shea," she said, her words tinged with regret. "I shouldn't have given you false hope, believing that Hektor felt the same way about us. If I had known, even if he was our destined mate, I would never have allowed him to hurt you like this, to kiss another woman right before us to inflict pain intentionally." I raised my hand, signaling for her to stop. Deep down, I knew that her intentions had been pure, that she had only sought to protect and comfort me. "It's not your fault, Evergreen," I reassur
Shea's POV"Where the hell is your father, Bradley! He swore to be here with me always, but where is he?!" I vented at my firstborn, clutching my belly. It had grown so big, resembling a watermelon that I had swallowed whole. It wasn't surprising, considering I was carrying Hektor's twins."Calm down, Mommy! Daddy would be here any moment. I am sure he is on his way," he answered. "He is right, Shea. Come on. Let me help you deliver your twins. My grandsons are ready to come out," my mother, Elora, encouraged as I shifted my attention to her.I gritted my teeth while I endured the throbbing pain in my stomach. My twins wanted to come out in the world, but I wouldn't let them until their father was by my side. When I delivered Bradley, Hektor was not on my side.

Shea’s POVI live as a rogue now, far from the princess life I once knew in the Royal Pack. I approached our simple shelter and smelled the aroma of roasted herbs in the air.

But the putrid stench of my mother's lies clung to me, making me cringe in revulsion.Shit! When will this nightmare end?

Shea’s POVA whole week had slipped by, like sand through my fingers.The Royal Pack had finally reached an agreement of peace with White Fang Castle. It turned out that Yamir was nothing more than a pawn, a victim of Ashley's cunning lies. Dad also acknowledged his sacrifice in saving Mom so he showed mercy and granted them a pardon.

Shea’s POVThere was a sense of imminent danger in the air, urging us to hurry. We raced out of our room and into the open, readying ourselves for whatever awaited us.As we stepped outside, a startling scene unfolded—the castle was surrounded by a powerful fleet. I quickly spotted my parents, Elora and Dominic, standing amidst their loyal Beta, Uncle Hunter and a group of warriors. Worry and curiosity mingled within me, compelling me to ask about their unexpected presence."Why are you here?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.
