Lily locked the door behind her, her chest rising and falling in quick, shallow breaths as she pressed her back against the door.

Her heart pounded, echoing in her ears as she tried to calm herself.

She could barely believe what she’d done—walking away from the ceremony, defying everyone’s expectations. But it had been a brief moment of empowerment, now replaced by a creeping fear that made her feel as if the walls were closing in around her.

The knocks at the door began softly at first, then quickly grew into a persistent, demanding pounding.

“Lily!” her mother’s voice called. “Open this door right now!”

Lily swallowed, her hands trembling as she struggled to maintain her composure.

She couldn’t face them, not after the scene she’d caused. She’d thought she could hold her ground, but now, alone in her room with nothing but her thoughts and fears, doubt began to creep in.

You will go through with this ceremony, Lily, whether you like it or not!”Tears fell from Lily’s eyes, not just from the pain but from the heartbreak of her mother’s betrayal.“Get a grip on yourself!” her mother continued, her voice cold and unyielding. “You have a chance to become Luna, to elevate our family’s status, and you’re throwing it all away for what?

"I still can’t believe we’re finally getting our dresses for the Moonlight Dance. It feels so real now."Lily turned to her, a small smile tugging at her lips. "I know. It’s like the final piece of the puzzle.""Exactly!" Maya grinned. "And I already have a vision for my dress. Elegant, sexy, but also just enough sparkle to make Graham lose his mind."Lily chuckled.

Lily sat between Lucas and Liam, across from Alpha Dean and Luna Ariel.Despite the warm atmosphere, her mind kept replaying Graham’s words from earlier that day."Lucas and Liam don’t think they need to ask you."Her grip tightened around her fork as she poked at her mashed potatoes, her appetite fading. She couldn't believe how clueless they were."So, Lily," Luna Ariel's voice pulled her from her thoughts, "you’ve been quiet all evening. Is something on your mind?"Lily hesitated for a second before deciding now was as good a time as any. "I was just thinking about the Moonlight Dance."Alpha Dean chuckled. "Ah, the famous tradition.

Weeks had passed since the chaos with Alex, and life had finally returned to normal.Lily inhaled deeply, a smile stretching across her face.

And now, we get to focus on the important things—like waiting for our mates to ask us to the dance."Lily chuckled. "Right! I mean, I am expecting Lucas and Liam to ask me at some point.

"We need to get her out of there—now!" He screamed as they approached Alex’s fallen vehicle.

But inside her mind, there was chaos.She knew it.Lucas and Liam had lost her.The tracker was gone.Her last hope of being rescued was slipping away, and panic clawed at her chest.The car smelled like leather and a faint trace of Alex’s cologne—a scent that once made her heart race with something close to affection. Now, it only made her nauseous.She turned her head toward the front of the car, her eyes burning with fury.“You really think you’re going to get away with this?” she spat, her voice sharp with hatred.Alex, sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat, didn’t even flinch. His hands were relaxed on the wheel, his jaw set in quiet confidence.“I don’t think I will,” he said smoothly. “I know I will.”Lily let out a bitter laugh. “You’re delusional.”Alex
