“I mean he will come back,” I said with a shrug, though my voice lacked conviction. “But Pa, Ma… I didn’t just come to tell you about the baby. I’ve also come to tell you that we’re getting a divorce. I’ve already left the mansion.” They both stared at me, their eyes wide with shock. I could see th
RHEA'S POV My name is Rhea, I am Fourteen years old. I have never felt my mother’s love for a single day, and that hollow feeling has only grown sharper since my father passed away. My mother seems to hunt for the smallest reasons to tear me down, while she showers my twin younger sister, Roxy, wi
Four years later... RHEA'S POV The final bell rang, and as the teacher exited the class, I practically bolted out of my seat, stuffing my books into my backpack like I was running from a crime scene. My aim was to evade Yuri, the alpha’s son on loan from another pack for training. No matter how st
MILES' POV “One! Two! Ready! Go!” Rico bellowed over the thumping bass that filled the room, his voice competing with the music as he raised his shot glass. Evans and I downed our drinks, slamming the empty glasses on the table. I let out a sigh, glancing around at my friends who were practic
RHEA'S POV A sharp, searing pain jolted me awake, cutting through my sleep like a hot knife. My whole body was on fire, each limb screaming in agony as my bones twisted and cracked. I lay on the cold kitchen floor, groaning, as realization dawned: it was happening. I was shifting. It was midnig
MILES' POV "You did what?" my father roared, his face clouded with disbelief and fury. "Rejected your mate? That’s unheard of. No one in our lineage has ever rejected their mate, and it’s not going to start with you." I held my ground, feeling that familiar, crushing weight he always managed
RHEA’S POV Today was the last day of high school, and tonight marked a monumental occasion—Miles' coronation ceremony and his twentieth birthday. He would officially become our Alpha. Luna Lisa, in her usual graciousness, had extended a personal invitation to me. She was always kind, but ever

Rose shook her head and sat down beside me, wrapping me in a warm, motherly embrace. She was like a mother to me. She used to be Luna Lisa’s right-hand woman, but Luna Lisa, trusting her enough, handed her over to me to take care of me and Miles. “No, Luna. You did nothing wrong. The only mistake
RHEA’S POV I lay flat on my back on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the stark white ceiling. The room was quiet except for the occasional hum of machines, but inside me, it was very chaotic. I had cried until there were no tears left, and now all that remained was a hollow, aching emptiness.

MILES’ POV The deal had been a success. Another financial milestone secured, another round of applause from the boardroom filled with sharp suits and fat wallets. It was almost six in the evening, and I should’ve been celebrating, or at least feeling satisfied. Instead, I was sitting in my hote
