Mia's POV

I backed away as Aria and her friends advanced, their claws already extended. My back hit something solid - a tree or wall, I wasn't sure. Nowhere left to run.

"Did you forget your duties, little omega?"

I backed away until my spine hit rough brick. Her pack circled me, their faces twisted with cruel anticipation.

"I had to carry my own books today," one of them sneered, grabbing a fistful of my hair. "Do you know how heavy they are?"

"And my coffee run?" another added, deliberately pouring her water bottle over my uniform. "I had to get it myself, like some common wolf."

The cold water soaked through my shirt as I tried to make myself smaller. "I'm sorry, I—"

"Sorry?" Aria's hand shot out, gripping my chin painfully. "You think sorry makes up for forgetting your place?" Her claws pricked my skin. "Maybe we need to remind you what happens to disobedient omegas."

"Please," I whispered, tears streaming down my face. "I didn't mean to—"

"Shut up!" She pulled back her fist, and

    Mia's POVMy stepbrothers' voices echoed in my head: Weak. Worthless. Nothing but a toy to play with.The cookie turned to ash in my mouth as reality crashed back in. What was I doing? Someone like Tristan - handsome, kind, obviously powerful - wouldn't waste time on someone like me unless he wanted something.They were right. Why else would he be here? Four alphas - my own mates - couldn't even stand me. What made me think this stranger was different?I pushed back from the table abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. "I should go.""Mia?" Tristan's hand caught my wrist gently. "What's wrong?""Don't." I pulled away, hugging my sketchbook to my chest like armor. "You don't have to pretend anymore."His brow furrowed. "Pretend what?""That you want to be here. That you care." My voice cracked. "I know how this works. You're probably just like the others - waiting to see how long it takes to break the weak little omega.""Is that what you think this is?" He stood slowly, his he

    Xavier's POVThe sound of tires crunching on the gravel snapped my attention toward the window. I’d been pacing for what felt like hours, waiting—though I hated admitting even to myself that I was.When she stepped out of the sleek, black car, my chest tightened.She was smiling.That carefree, radiant smile that I hadn’t seen in so long. But it wasn’t directed at me. The wolf sitting in the driver’s seat leaned out, saying something that made her laugh softly. She waved him off, her entire demeanor light and carefree as she walked toward the house.I couldn’t stand it.The door clicked shut as she entered, her steps purposeful and quick. She barely glanced at me as she headed toward the stairs.“Where the hell are you coming from?” I demanded, stepping in front of her path.She didn’t stop, her expression unbothered as she brushed past me.I grabbed her wrist, my grip firm. She turned to look at me, her eyes hard, her calmness cutting through my anger like a blade.“Who the fuck was

    Rolex's POVThe photos landed on my desk one by one. Mia getting into a black car. Mia smiling - actually smiling - at the driver. A figure standing protectively near her at school, keeping the bullies away.I felt jealousy, and anger rushed in my blood. How the damn can she smile with another man! Fuck, she was making me more mad, and a demon who wanted to rip that bastard head. "The man is Tristan Karveler," my spy reported. "Alpha heir to the Karveler pack."My coffee mug shattered in my grip. Tristan fucking Karveler. Our biggest rival, the son of the alpha who'd tried to take our territory three times.And he was touching my mate."How long?" I demanded, staring at Mia's smile in the photo. When was the last time she'd looked that relaxed around any of us?"Started yesterday. He's been... protecting her at school. Bringing her food."Something ugly twisted in my chest. Jealousy, though I'd never admit it. We'd starved her, tormented her, pushed her away. And here was Tristan, pla

    MIA’S POVThe nightmare jolted me awake, Xavier's angry face from earlier still haunting me. My throat felt like sandpaper - I hadn't had anything to drink since morning.At least they couldn't deny me water.The house was quiet as I crept downstairs, my bare feet silent on the cold floor. Maybe I could slip out after, get some air. Anything to escape the suffocating weight of this place.Light spilled from the living room. I tried to sneak past, but—"Where are you going, little sister?" Rolex's voice froze me in place.They were all there. Four pairs of eyes locked onto me like predators watching prey."Just... going outside." My voice sounded small even to my own ears."You must be hungry," Sean said softly. "Let me make you something."A bitter laugh escaped me. "Now you want to feed me? After starving me for days?""Watch your tone," Nathan growled, but I was beyond caring."Or what?" Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You'll hurt me more? Lock me in my room? Make me beg for food lik

    Mia's POVMy finger throbbed all night, a constant reminder of Nathan's cruelty. By morning, dark bruises painted my skin where I'd hit the floor."Let me drive you to school."I froze at Rolex's voice. He stood in the kitchen doorway, holding out a packed lunch. Behind him, Xavier had another bag."No." I moved toward the door, keeping distance between us. "I'll walk.""Don't be stubborn," Xavier said softly. "It's a long way—""I've walked it before." When they starved me, denied me rides, left me to fend for myself. "I can walk it again."I tried to brush past them, but suddenly they were both there, too close. Rolex's breath fanned across my neck while Xavier leaned down, his lips nearly brushing mine."You're hurt," Rolex murmured, his voice hypnotic. "Let us help.""Now you want to help?" My voice shook. "After everything you've done?"Xavier's fingers traced my injured hand. "We can make it better.""Don't touch me—"Before I could finish, Rolex scooped me up in his arms. I str

I didn't want to even glance them, I hated them so much. I'd already pieced together the truth about Mia's living situation, and the knowledge left a bitter taste in my mouth.The fact that she lived with them—Xavier and Rolex—was infuriating enough, but learning that they bullied her? That they hated her because her mother married with their father? It was disgusting. How could they even bully her? Fucking, they are alphas and still behave like freaking rogues. None of it was her fault, and yet they treated her like she was a stain on their perfect lives. She was already innocent like a petal, her eyes reflects her innocence and purity. That's how badly she was stuck in this mess. She was the girl, who couldn't even think of hurting a butterfly, so how could she be treated like a slave?Though, I hated them before I kn

The usual taunts that had become a part of my daily routine were oddly absent.The silence wasn’t comforting, though. It felt strange, unsettling even, but I couldn’t deny the small bubble of relief that formed in my chest.By the time I reached my locker, I let out a soft murmur to myself. “At least one thing they did right.”I was sure this was my stepbrothers’ doing. Maybe their overbearing nature had finally worked in my favor. The bullies who had tormented me every day for months now avoided my gaze, whispering only among themselves. It didn’t matter how it happened; it was one less thing to worry about.As the day wore on, I found myself glancing at the clock more often than usual.

    NATHAN’S POVIt took hours, but we finally tracked down where Tristan had taken her. Tristan’s new pack house wasn’t exactly a secret, but it wasn’t easy to get the information we needed without raising questions. By the time we left the bar, another car had been delivered to replace the one we wrecked earlier.The drive was tense, and I could feel the weight of my brothers’ stares on me. Rolex, sitting in the passenger seat, was the first to break the silence, glaring at me through the rearview mirror.“This is all your fault,” he snapped, his frustration barely contained.Xavier, sitting beside me in the backseat, shook his head in disapproval. “You shouldn’t have pushed her so far. She wouldn’t have run if you hadn’t pulled that stunt with the car.”I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the seat. “Spare me the lecture. You’re the ones who let her slip through our fingers. If you’d been paying attention, we wouldn’t be chasing after her like this.”“Don’t put this on us,” Rolex r

    MIA’S POVI opened my eyes slowly, my vision blurry as the ceiling above me came into focus. The soft, familiar scent of pine and something earthy surrounded me, and it didn’t take long to realize where I was. This was the same room Tristan had brought me to before.For a moment, I lay still, the events from earlier rushing back to me like a flood. The car teetering on the cliff. The brothers laughing as I begged for help. The way they mocked me even after pulling the car back. And then Tristan… Tristan saving me.My heart raced as the memory of it all made my chest tighten.The sound of the door opening startled me, and I sat up abruptly, my pulse spiking. Tristan stepped into the room, his gaze immediately locking onto mine.“It’s just me,” Tristan said as he stepped inside.“You’re awake,” he said, walking toward the bed.I exhaled shakily, trying to calm the panic rising in my chest. He walked closer, his movements steady but careful, as though he didn’t want to startle me.“You’r

    Tristan’s POVI drove away from the scene with one thought in mind—putting as much distance between us and her stepbrothers as possible. I could see their figures shrinking in the rearview mirror, and I knew they didn’t have enough time to shift and chase after me. Speed was my only advantage, and I wasn’t about to lose it.Mia was slumped in the passenger seat, unconscious. Her face was pale, and her breathing shallow, but steady. I glanced at her every few seconds, my chest tightening at the sight of her injuries. Blood from a cut on her forehead had dried, and she looked so fragile, so breakable, that it made my wolf restless.When we finally reached my pack’s territory, I didn’t waste a second. Pulling up to the main house, I rushed to her side of the car and carefully lifted her into my arms. She felt lighter than I remembered, as though she’d been carrying more than just physical weight.“Get the pack doctor here immediately,” I ordered as soon as I entered the house. My beta no
