The evening air is cool as I make my way through the pack house, the dim glow of the hallway lights casting long shadows on the walls.

Caspian gave me the night off, and I’m eager to grab my nightwear and head over to Cassidy’s house. I could stay have a talk with Theo, but I'm not ready to have that talk with him.

Not yet.

The royal family is having dinner, so the coast should be clear. Or so I think.

I round the corner and nearly collide with Eden. She’s dressed impeccably in a baby blue evening dress that drapes over her curves elegantly.

I'm jealous at how effortless beauty comes to her, but she becomes ugly in my eyes when her sharp eyes narrow the moment she sees me.

Recognition flashes across her face, followed by a smirk that makes my stomach twist.

“You,” she says, her voice dripping with disdain. “Cassidy’s little friend. The omega who thought she could challenge me.”

I stiffen, forcing myself to remain calm. “I was just heading to my room. The prince dismissed me for the

    By the time I step out of the pack house, the air is still cool, and the sky is painted with deep hues of blue and purple. I walk briskly, my body still tense from dinner, my mind replaying every word, every stare, every implication. The weight of the evening presses on my shoulders, and I’m grateful for the quiet of the night. It’s only when I reach the familiar warmth of Cassidy’s home that I allow myself to exhale.The door is unlocked, as it always is, and I step inside. Soft laughter drifts from the living room, and when I turn the corner, I see two people in love.Cassidy's sit close together on the couch, lost in their own world. Her dad leans in, murmuring something low, and her mom lets out a light, happy giggle. The sight makes me pause. It’s rare to see moments like this—genuine, unfiltered affection between mates. Something tugs inside me, something fragile and distant.He glances up first. I haven't actually met him in all my times here, so this is the first time we

    The first light of dawn filters through the thin curtains, casting a pale glow over the room. I lie still for a moment, listening to the faint creak of the floorboards downstairs. Cassidy’s mother is already up, as usual. I don’t need to see her to know she’s in the kitchen, her hands busy with the day’s first tasks. The rhythm of her movements is as familiar as the sound of my own breathing.I push myself out of bed, the cool air nipping at my skin as I pull on a sweater. The house is quiet, save for the soft hum of activity below. I make my way downstairs, my footsteps light on the wooden stairs.She’s at the counter, her back to me as she kneads dough with practiced ease. Her sleeves are rolled up, revealing arms that are strong despite their age. She doesn’t turn as I enter, but I know she’s aware of my presence.“Morning, Lilah dear,” she says, her voice warm but tinged with something I can’t quite place.“Morning,” I reply, moving to the stove to pour myself a cup of tea. The s

    I sit on the edge of Caspian’s bed, my fingers tracing the intricate patterns on the quilt. The room is quiet, save for the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. It’s been over an hour since he left, and the silence is starting to get to me. My mind wanders back to our earlier conversation, the way his voice had softened when he told me I wasn’t disposable. My heart does a little flutter at the memory, and I quickly push the thought away. He’d never feel that way about me. I’m just his maid, nothing more.A knock on the door pulls me from my thoughts. I frown, glancing at the clock. He wouldn’t knock on his own door, would he? I stand, smoothing out my skirt as I move to open it. My hand hesitates on the knob for a moment before I twist it, pulling the door open.Eden stands on the other side, a tray of freshly baked cookies in her hands and a premeditated smile plastered on her face. The smile falls the moment her eyes land on me, replaced by a look of pure disdain.“What are y

    I step into Caspian's chambers, shutting the door behind me as quietly as possible. My heart still pounds from the confrontation with Eden, but it stops altogether when I see him pacing. His shoulders are tense, fists clenched at his sides, his expression unreadable. He turns sharply, and his piercing gaze locks onto mine."Where were you?" His voice is low, measured—but there’s an unmistakable edge to it. "I told you to wait for me."I open my mouth, prepared to explain, but before I can utter a word, his eyes drop to my arm. The bandage is stark white against my skin, and he stills, his jaw tightening."What happened?" He strides toward me, grabbing my wrist carefully but firmly, his fingers grazing the gauze. Then his voice drops into a dangerous growl. "Who did this?""I was getting to that," I murmur, feeling the warmth of his grip seep into my skin.His grip tightens slightly. "Tell me now."I swallow hard. "Eden."The word is barely out of my mouth before his body stiffens li

    I find Theo exactly where I expect him to be—sitting beneath the old oak tree in the garden, a place that seems to give him solace despite being in unfamiliar territory. His back is against the rough bark, his arms resting loosely over his bent knees. As I step closer, he lifts his head, his sharp gaze locking onto mine."Hey," he greets, his tone casual, but there's an edge to it. "Took you long enough to find me."I roll my eyes and sit on the grass without invitation. "I knew you'd be here."He studies me for a moment, then his expression shifts. His eyes flick to my arm, where the bandage is still wrapped securely. Without a word, he reaches out and takes my wrist, turning it slightly to examine it. His touch is gentle, but his fingers tighten when he sees the wound beneath."What the hell happened?" His voice is sharp, demanding.I sigh. "A lady called Eden happened. She accused me of stealing from the Prince and dug her nails into me when she was dragging me down the halls for

    “This is assault!” Cass’s voice rings out, sharp and furious. She’s pacing the room, her hands clenched into fists, her face flushed with anger. “Why did she do that? Why would she hurt you?”I sit on the edge of her bed, my bandaged arm resting in my lap. “She brought a plate of cookies for Caspian,” I explain, my voice calm despite the tension in the room. “Hoping to warm his heart, no doubt. She found me in his room and went ballistic. Called me a thief.”She stops pacing, her eyes blazing. “That’s it. I’m done.” She grabs her coat from the back of her chair and storms toward the door.“Wait!” I call after her, scrambling to my feet. “Where are you going? What are you going to do?”She doesn’t slow down. “I’m going to the pack house to finally give that bitch a piece of my mind. She needs to learn her fucking place.”I follow her out of the room, my heart racing. She’s moving faster than I’ve ever seen her, her anger propelling her forward.

    I don’t remember walking back.One moment, I’m standing in the garden, my body stiff with cold, my heart beating too fast, my ears ringing with the sound of his voice."It’s already enough that you got rid of her parents. You don’t have to get rid of her too."My uncle.My uncle killed my parents.The next moment, I’m inside, standing in the warm glow of the house. I barely register the change. I barely register anything.A voice reaches me, but it’s muffled, like it's coming from underwater.“Lilah?”Another voice. Urgent. Concerned. A hand grabs my wrist.I don’t react.I don’t move.I can’t move.More hands touch me—my arms, my shoulders. The voices grow more frantic, but I can’t hear them. I can’t hear them.There’s too much noise in my head."Got rid of her parents.""You don’t have to get rid of her too."I pull my wrist free, turn, and start walking.I don’t know where I’m going, but my feet do.I climb the stairs, one slow step at a time.

    I don't know how long I sit curled up on the floor crying my lungs out, but my eyes feel sore and the tears that poured out in torrents have now slowed down.The door swings suddenly swings open and the scent of roses flood the room, wrapping around me, invading my senses.My fingers twitch at my sides. I don’t need to turn around to know that Caspian is the one strolling into the room.I wipe at my face quickly, dragging my sleeve over my cheeks, hoping—praying—I can erase any trace of the tears. My heart pounds as I frantically brush at the puffiness under my eyes, willing them to return to normal.I don't want to seem pathetic. I can't let him see me broken down like this. "You didn’t come in early," he says.His voice is smooth, but there’s something underneath it—something sharp, something unimpressed."I had to go without breakfast today," he continues, walking towards his desk.I hear the familiar clink of metal against wood as he empties his pockets. His wallet, his phone. T

    The scent of blood lingers thick in the air, mixing with the damp earth beneath my boots. The moon barely cuts through the thick canopy of trees, casting long shadows over the fallen bodies. Their lifeless forms lie sprawled across the ground, the fight drained from them. It was over fast—too fast. Three rogues, dead before they even had a chance to scream. It’s not satisfying. It’s just... work.Ethan nudges one of the corpses with his boot, his expression bored. "Well, that was disappointing," he mutters, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I was hoping they’d at least put up a decent fight. Maybe throw a punch or two. But no, they just flopped over like dead fish. Pathetic."I wipe the blood off my blade, watching as the crimson soaks into the dirt. The forest is quiet now, the only sound the rustle of leaves in the wind. "They weren’t fighters," I say, my voice even. "Just scouts. Testing the borders. Seeing how far they could push before we pushed back."Ethan scoffs, stepping

    The market square is bustling, the air thick with the scent of fresh bread and ripe fruit. I weave through the crowd, my basket swinging at my side, when I see him. Darius. My heart skips a beat, then plummets. He’s standing by the fountain, his dark hair catching the sunlight, his posture relaxed and confident. But it’s not just him. There’s a girl beside him, her laughter ringing out like a bell, too loud, too close. She’s beautiful, with black curls and a smile that seems to stretch too wide. They’re leaning in, heads almost touching, and my chest tightens.I shouldn’t care. We’re not officially mated yet, but we’re fated. He’s mine, and I’m his. So why does it feel like a knife is twisting in my gut?His head snaps up, as if he senses me watching. Our eyes lock, and for a moment, the world narrows to just him. His lips curl into that familiar smirk, the one that makes my stomach flutter even when I know it shouldn’t. He raises a hand, beckoning me over. My feet move before

    The dining hall hums with the clinking of silverware and the low murmur of conversation. The long wooden table is overflowing with roasted meats, steaming vegetables, and goblets of deep red wine that glisten under the flickering chandelier light. The air smells of rosemary and thyme, mingling with the faint metallic tang of the silverware. I move quietly around the table, refilling glasses and serving plates, trying to stay invisible. It’s a skill I’ve perfected over the years—being unseen, unheard. But tonight, my hands tremble, my thoughts a chaotic mess.At the head of the table, Alpha Rowan, my uncle, commands attention effortlessly. His hard golden eyes sweep over the council members as he discusses pack resources, his deep voice cutting through the room like a blade. He’s dressed in his usual dark tunic, the fabric tailored to perfection, the golden crest of Moonhaven embroidered on his chest. He looks every bit the Alpha, every bit the man who holds my fate in his hands.

    I sift through the files in my father’s royal study, the scent of aged parchment and oak filling the air. The fireplace crackles in the corner, casting flickering shadows across the dark walls lined with books of law, history, and the many conquests of Golden Crest. My father’s meticulous handwriting marks the margins of various documents, but one file catches my eye—a thick, yellowed folder labeled 'Moonhaven Case'.I pull it out and flip through the contents, my brow furrowing with every page. Moonhaven. The wolf pack that somehow broke out of Golden Crest’s authority. A lawless land, untouched by the kingdom's rule. And yet, here it is—a case file, an unresolved issue, one that should have been dealt with ten years ago.I clench my jaw. How the hell did my father let this slide?I slam the folder shut and lean back in the chair, my fingers drumming against the polished wood of his desk. This is unacceptable. A pack operating outside of our rule is a direct threat to our sove

    The kitchen is hot, steam rising from the pots on the stove and clinging to my skin like a second layer. My arms ache from carrying the pail of milk, the weight of it pulling at my shoulders. I’m not built for this—not like them. My human body is weak compared to theirs, and the cook never lets me forget it.“Hurry up, girl!” she snaps, her voice sharp as a whip. “You’re slower than a snail in winter. What’s taking you so long?”I bite my tongue, forcing myself not to respond. She’s been scolding me all morning, even though I’ve been on my feet since dawn, scrubbing floors, peeling vegetables, and hauling supplies. Nothing I do is ever enough for her. “I’m sorry,” I mutter, setting the pail down with a thud. My hands are trembling, and I can feel the blisters forming on my palms. “I’ll try to be faster.”“Try?” she scoffs, her hands on her hips. “You should be doing, not trying. Useless, that’s what you are. A human in a wolf’s world. What good are you?”I flinch at her words, but

    Theo’s room smells like him—like rain and something faintly metallic, like the edge of a storm. I’m on my knees, scrubbing at a stubborn stain on the wooden floor, my hands raw and stinging from the soap. The pack house is never clean enough for them, and neither am I. But Theo’s room is different. It’s quieter here, softer. The walls are lined with books, and the bed is always unmade, like he’s just rolled out of it. I don’t mind cleaning this space. It feels like the closest I’ll ever get to being part of something.The door creaks open, and I freeze. He’s here. I don’t look up, not right away. I keep scrubbing, even though my hands are trembling. I can feel his eyes on me, heavy and unreadable. “You don’t always have to do that,” Theo says, his voice low and steady. I finally glance up, and there he is, leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed. He’s wearing a dark sweater that makes his hair look even lighter, almost golden in the dim light. He sends me a small smi

    The grand hall of the estate is eerily silent, save for the steady click of my father’s polished shoes against the marble floor. He stands in front of me, arms crossed, exuding the usual 'I-am-your-father-and-you-will-listen-to-me' energy. My mother is beside him, a perfectly composed ice sculpture in a designer dress, her sharp grey eyes—our sharp grey eyes—assessing me with the usual judgment."You're in charge while we're gone," my father announces, his voice firm and unyielding, as if he hasn’t already said this a hundred times.I don’t respond immediately, my hands shoved into the pockets of my tailored jacket. Instead, I glance out the tall windows, where the late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the estate grounds. The weight of his words settles over me, heavy and familiar. "I’m aware," I finally say, my tone low and measured.He raises an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed with my lack of enthusiasm. "This isn’t a joke, Caspian. The rogues are becoming bolder. They’re not

    (Before Goldencrest)The scent of pine and damp stone lingers in the air as I scrub the floors of the waiting area in the packhouse, the soapy water cool against my raw, reddened palms. The bristles of the brush scrape against the wooden planks, the repetitive motion soothing in a way that almost lets me forget where I am—what I am.Almost.Boots clunk against the floor, tracking dirt and grime over the freshly scrubbed surface. No one spares me a glance, no one acknowledges the work I do. It’s expected of me, the human among wolves, the weakest link in a pack that prides itself on strength. Even if my mother was once Alpha. Even if my uncle is now the reigning one. None of that matters. I’m nothing but an obligation, a stain they haven’t yet scrubbed away.A shadow falls over me, and before I can look up, the metal bucket beside me clatters to the ground. Water spills across the floor, soaking into my pants, drenching the small space I just finished cleaning."Oops," a voice draw

    The music swells around us, soft yet powerful, the perfect melody for a moment like this. My hand rests in Caspian's, and my other rests lightly on his shoulder as we glide across the ballroom floor. The golden chandeliers overhead bathe us in warm light, making everything shimmer—my silver gown, the golden embroidery on Caspian’s regal suit, the crown atop his head, and the one newly placed upon mine.The ceremony was breathtaking, a moment forever etched in my soul. I was not just Caspian’s mate now—I was his queen, standing beside him in every sense of the word. And now, at the reception, with laughter and celebration all around us, I finally allow myself to breathe, to feel the joy that tonight has brought.Caspian pulls me closer, his breath teasing my ear as he murmurs, “I have half a mind to steal you away from all these people.”I smile, tilting my head up to meet his gaze. “And risk the wrath of Cassidy? She’s spent a week planning this. I don’t think even you, King of Gol
