ELISE'S POV The week had gone by quickly. The good thing about it was that fact that I was finally settling into a routine at the palace. It felt strange, being here, in a place that wasn’t my home but was starting to feel familiar. Jade was her usual grumpy self as she helped me prepare for the
FERRIS' POV I rubbed my temple, trying to ignore the mounting frustration as Alpha Pretel Rodriguez—better known as Alpha Rod—stared back at me. His arms were crossed and his jaw was set in a stubborn expression. The old Alpha’s graying hair, thick beard, and stubborm face made him look as immova

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
FERRIS' POV When Elise walked into the council room, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. She was wearing something so provocative, so unlike her usual modest self. The dress — if you could even call it that — was practically see-through, clinging to every curve of her body. I had to use every
"Ferris, please," she begged breathlessly. "I need you..." Her pleading inflamed me further. I slid my hand between her thighs, groaning when I felt how wet she was for me. I slowly circled her clit with my thumb and then, I slipped two fingers inside her tight heat. "Oh gosh," Elise cried out, he
ELISE'S POV I could feel the excitement and nervousness coursing through my veins as Ferris carried me all the way to his room. The moment of passion we had in the boardroom was unbelievable. I had never felt like that with Jackson. It was as if Ferris and I were made for each other. Ferris final
Sophia’s gaze softened as she nodded, but there was something in her eyes. “Just… be careful, Elise. Trust your instincts. They won’t lie to you.”I walked out of the palace and made my way outside.When I arrived at the garden, I was stunned by its beauty. It was like stepping into another world—a
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
“Joan means nothing to me,” he said firmly. “She was upset, and I was just—”“Comforting her,” I finished for him “Like you always do.”“Elise,” he growled, taking another step closer. “You’re the one I’m mated to. You’re the one I—”“Don’t!” I cut him off “Don’t say something you don’t mean. You th
ELISE’S POVI looked at the man in shock.He looked so much like Ferris that it left me momentarily stunned. The same sharp jawline, the same strong build, but his eyes—they were green, not blue like Ferris’. His long, dark hair fell messily over his face, adding to the mysterious air about him.Fea
ELISE’S POV I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the walls of my room. The events of the day replayed in my mind. My heart felt heavy. I was torn between confusion and betrayal. I couldn’t shake the memory of that man—his piercing green eyes, his muscular build, his scent, his familiar p
FERRIS’ POVThe sight of him stopped me dead in my tracks. For a moment, I thought I was imagining things. I couldn’t believe it. My brother, here, of all places. But there he was, standing in the middle of the hall like he owned the place. I looked at him in disbelief but a feeling of anger replace
FERRIS’ POV The search for Elise was driving me crazy. Every corridor, every room, every corner of the palace seemed emptier without her. Elise. She was nowhere to be found. I was starting to feel frustrated. My Lycan paced in my mind, restless. I needed to talk to her. I needed to make things righ
ELISE’S POV I stayed in my room. My mind was scattered with everything that had happened with Ferris. My heart ached. It was a deep pain in my chest that made it hard to breathe. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the floor when a knock sounded at my door. I hesitated, not in the mood
