ELISE'S POV The next day, I went shopping for a new dress. The activity felt foreign to me. It had been long since I shopped for something. As Luna, I had people who did this for me. If I needed a dress for a special occasion, a royal fashion designer would be sent to get the designs for the dress
JACKSON'S POV I stormed into my office, slamming the door behind me. My vision was blurred with rage, and I could barely think straight. I had just heard the announcement Ferris made on the news. What the hell? The news that Ferris was planning to take Elise back to his pack felt like someone had

FERRIS’ POVI walked through the infirmary doors. The scent of antiseptic filled the air, but it was Elise’s scent that captured my focus the moment I stepped inside. She sat up in bed with her dark curls falling over her shoulders. Her bright brown eyes lit up the instant she saw me."Ferris!" she
ELISE’S POVSomething wasn’t right. No—someone wasn’t right. And my gut told me that someone was Gina.I glanced at Eden.“Don’t mention that Jackson woke up,” I whispered.Eden’s brows furrowed. “Why?”“Because if Gina is behind this, we need to play our cards close to our chest. If she knows Jacks

ELISE’S POVPain. Blinding hot pain tore through me like wildfire. It felt like it was burning every nerve in my body. My breaths came in short, ragged gasps as I was rushed through the palace halls. My fingers clutched weakly at Ferris’s hand. He carried me and I could feel the worry radiating off

ELISE’S POVI wanted to look my best. I had to.Ferris had invited me, and despite the anger I felt, I couldn’t help but yearn to see him, to feel him close again. Maybe I was a fool, but I loved him. I loved him in a way that went beyond reason, beyond the things that had happened between us. My he
