FERRIS' POV I hadn’t expected to see her, not tonight. My chest still heaved from what I’d done moments before. I remembered how I touched myself from imagining her—the way she moved, the way she might sound under my touch, how beautiful she was. And yet here she was, standing in my doorway like
Her words cut deeper than I thought they would. She didn’t want to be a Luna anymore. She didn’t want me. And for reasons I couldn’t explain, that hurt like hell. I should have let it go. I should’ve respected her decision and left it at that. But I couldn’t. The need to tease her, to push her jus

ALEXANDRA'S POV I sat in the meeting, barely hearing a word. My thoughts were elsewhere, locked on the one person who had somehow managed to worm her way into Ferris’s good books: Elise. A stranger. An outsider. She had no place here, yet she had Ferris’s attention, something I had tried and failed
ELISE'S POV I was pleasantly surprised when Alexandra arrived at my door that evening. She wasn’t one for unnecessary small talk. When she told me that I’d been rewarded with a meeting with the council, I almost didn’t believe her. It felt like a breakthrough—like maybe, just maybe, I was finally b

ELISE’S POVJoan’s words replayed in my mind. Her words felt like a thorn digging deeper into my chest. Ferris had assured me he loved me and didn’t want Joan, but her claim about being his first love pulled at me. People never forget their first love.That thought haunted me as I paced the length o
Sophie nodded “It’s terrifying to think someone so close to us could betray the Alpha like that.”“It is. I wonder what she’s up to.”“Don’t be scared. The Alpha will protect you”That, he will. I was sure of that.I nudged her playfully “Enough of all this small talk. Now, tell me about Eden. When
ELISE’S POVThe days that followed after Ferris and I returned to the palace from our cabin retreat, everything seemed perfect, almost dreamlike. The warmth of our trip had left me feeling more connected to him than ever. Despite how huge the palace was, life felt a bit more intimate, a bit more our

ELISE’S POVI sighed.Telling Ferris this wouldn’t be easy. I’ve avoided the topic for so long. I stopped having nightmares about it recently.“What about it?” Ferris asked me.“I want to tell you what I went through in the hands of my captors. I’ve never told anyone this before, not even my parents
His voice cracked slightly, and I realized how deeply this haunted him. My throat tightened, but I said nothing, letting him continue.“She cursed me,” Ferris said “She came to me in a vision. Her presence was colder than anything I’ve ever felt. She told me that for what I did, I would never know h
