Eve’s POV

I hated everything about this night.

The attention. The stares. His suffocating presence. This stupid dress. And these damn heels that felt like daggers piercing into my feet with every step.

Except for one thing.

Myself.

For the first time in years I felt confident, even beautiful. Those women had magic in their hands. I never knew that make up could even make someone like me look average if not beautiful.

That feeling inside me? This confidence that came with the thought that I looked beautiful?

It was out of the world.

The moment the music stopped and I escaped his grip, I felt like I could finally breathe—if only for a moment. My chest tightened under the weight of too many eyes tracking my every move, and my heart drummed in time with the hollow clinks of crystal glasses.

I may look like them from the outside but from within I could never be them.

I will remain her, Scar.

Then, like a lighthouse guiding a lost ship, my eyes landed on salvation.

Food.

    Killain’s POV The hall reeked of desperation. Not mine, of course. But of these noble people. 
Desperation for approval. For favor. For the scraps of power I allowed them to feed on, each morsel dangled with calculated cruelty, like bait on a string. And just like rats, they scrambled to devour it. And then there was her. My personal little rat. My mouse. 
Eve. She thought sitting in the shadows could save her. Foolish girl. Didn’t she know? Shadows are my domain. I tilted the glass to my lips, savoring the bitter edge of the wine as it coated my tongue, and watched the same liquid streak across her face, down her neck, and soak through her dress. Her scar gleamed under the flickering chandeliers, bared for all to see—her hideous little truth put on display like the cheap spectacle I’d orchestrated. “Seriously? That’s the Queen?”
“What did His Highness see in her?”
“She’s hideous.”
“She’s a disgrace to the crown.”
“Imagine waking up to that face every morning.

    Eve’s POVStupid.Gosh, how could I be so stupid? How could I let my anger get the best of me? Those women needed to be put in their place. No doubt about that.I’d encountered countless bitches like them in my life on the streets.But that was the problem.I wasn’t standing on the streets anymore, bickering like a commoner.I was in his court, representing him as his Queen, saying all of that to women of high ranks—nobles, to be exact.I could have ignored them. I should have.It was just some words and some wine, right?But no, I had to get in trouble.Not that I regretted it. They deserved a lesson in respect. But I could’ve taken a smarter approach.Gosh.My feet feel like lead as I walk toward his bedroom. The heels have been murdering me all night, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the back of my feet were raw with cuts. Gulping, I knock on his door and bite my lip, waiting.I raise my hand to knock again when the door is pulled open.My heart thuds as my gaze locks onto him—standi

    His words root a dagger into my heart, twisting until the pain is unbearable. I shake my head in silent refusal, but desperation claws at my insides.I want to say so much, but my lips betray me, trembling, parting—yet nothing escapes.Then, without warning, his hand clamps around my chin, yanking my face upward. His steel eyes bore into mine, devoid of warmth, void of anything human."Do you have the slightest idea who those women were? The ones you disrespected?"His voice is cold, lethal, each syllable slicing through me like a well-sharpened blade."The first lady was Lady Elizabeth Warner, daughter of Gary Warner—the most respected and wealthiest member of the council.""The second one? Hellen Thatcher. Wife of Thomas Thatcher, Alpha of the Yellowstone pack. The same pack I have a trade balance of one million five hundred seventy-six coins with."His fingers tighten on my chin, unyielding. "Do you understand the damage you’ve done to me?"Lub. Dub. Lub.I can’t breathe. One milli

    Killain’s POV The echo of my boots filled the dimly lit hallway, each step measured, deliberate. The torches along the stone walls flickered, their glow casting shifting shadows that danced in my wake. My jaw ticked, my fingers flexed at my sides, but my face remained impassive. Outside, before her, I had played the part. I had twisted the knife, blaming her, letting her feel the weight of shame. Yet inside, my ego festered like an open wound. Those women—those insignificant specks—had dared to speak about my wife as if she were filth beneath their heels. My Luna. My woman. My little mouse. How dare they? John stood at the end of the hallway, his head bowed. "They are here as per your order, Your Highness." I gave a short nod and stepped past him, pushing the heavy double doors open. Inside, the council chamber lay in tense silence. Elder Derek, his daughter Elizabeth, Alpha Thomas, and his wife, Hellen, sat in rigid anticipation. The moment they saw me, th

    Eve’s POVThe room was too big, too cold, too suffocating. The scent of leather and cedar curled around me like an invisible shackle, invading my senses no matter how much I tried to escape it. His scent. It clung to the sheets, to the air, to my skin. I turned onto my side, then the other, restlessly tossing in the silk-soft bed that felt too foreign, too unnatural beneath me.My mind refused to be still. His words echoed, whispering through the silence like a cruel lullaby.‘Aren’t you hideous? Didn’t you crawl from the gutters, surviving on scraps like a rat in my city?’A thousand voices had called me ugly before, their sneers and jeers rolling off me like water. But when he said it? It tore something open inside me, something raw and festering. Why? Why did it hurt? Why did I care what he thought of me?I gritted my teeth and rolled onto my back, staring at the high ceiling. I shouldn’t be thinking about him. I shouldn’t be letting his words get under my skin.The dress I was

My mind blurs.Mine.The word slams into me with a force that shouldn’t be possible. My wolf hits on my walls.What the fuck am I doing?I look like a pervert.I drop them like they’ve burned me, raking a hand through my hair. A growl curls in my throat, low and guttural. Shoving the thoughts aside, I strip down and step into the shower, letting the scalding water bite into my skin.By the time I step out, the haze has dulled, but the irritation lingers.I pull on a pair of boxers and return to the bedroom.She’s still where I left her. Small. Vulnerable. Sleeping soundly in my bed.I lay on my side and suddenly remember why she is doing this. I mindlink John.“Beta.

    The stone hall echoed with each step as the maids led me through the towering corridors. Their whispers were hushed, their gazes cautious, but I paid them no mind. My thoughts swirled like a tempest, thick with last night’s storm—the cold seeping into my bones, the wind clawing at my skin. My body was still adjusting to the warmth inside.I clenched my fists, shaking off the damp chill that still lingered. The grand doors of the courtroom loomed ahead, two guards stepping aside as they pulled them open.A sea of faces turned toward me. The nobles, the warriors, the council. And in the center, stood two familiar figures—Charlote and Helen.I stopped short.The very same women who had sneered at me, mocked me, disrespected me… and yet they were here, bound by silence, awaiting judgment.I should have expected this.

No one even breathed as all eyes locked on the figure cradled in Beta John’s arms.My heart lurched, my gaze trailing over the woman wrapped in his jacket. She trembled violently, her small frame curled into him, face buried against his chest as if the world itself was too much to bear.Lilly.A cold dread coiled in my stomach.Lilly…I rushed forward, my hands reaching for her, desperate to see her face. “Lilly, it’s me! Look at me!”She flinched.Not just flinched. She clung tighter to John, her fingers gripping his shirt like it was the only thing keeping her together.Pain stabbed through my chest. Why wouldn’t she look at me?What’s wrong with her?Did those men…Before I could touch her, a deep, warning growl rumbled through the room.John.I froze.His stance was rigid, his body wound like a predator protecting its prey.

    Eve’s POVThe party is in full swing. I watch from the window, the glow of lanterns and flickering torches illuminating the figures below.Music pulses through the air, mingling with the scent of liquor and sweat.Countless Alphas, walk around , drinking, laughing, indulging in whatever pleasures the night offers. However all I could look at, was him. Standing in a corner with a glass in his hands, his aura and stature was easily distinguishable . Alphas try to grab his attention, flocking around him, for favours and prestige, while he barely spoke even a word to anyone.His lips stay pressed in a line as he stares at the liquid in his hands.Barely humming to them in reply.I couldn’t help but look at him.And for a second it looked like the entire world has vanished in front of him.His shoulders were broad, taut in that tuxedo. The top button of his shirt was open, giving a glimpse of those corded veins running up his thick neck. His jet black hair was perfectly combed back, sho

    I swallow thickly, my throat tightening as I watch him pull his plate toward me. A silent command. An unyielding demand. He expects me to eat.I sigh, knowing it’s useless to argue with this man.“Fine. Leave me at least.”His grip doesn’t loosen.“You lost that privilege when I asked you the first time like a gentleman,” he murmurs, voice smooth but edged with warning. “This is exactly where you eat now.”My fists clench beneath the table.This controlling brute.I reach for my fork, determined to reclaim even the smallest sliver of control, but before I can grasp it, he snatches it from my fingers and hurls it aside. It clatters against the floor with a sharp metallic ring.“What the hell—”Before I can finish, he presses his own fork into my fingers—the same fork he ate with.“You eat with this.”What twisted game is he playing now? Why does it have to be his fork? His presence coils around me like smoke, suffocating and inescapable. I bite back my protests, unwilling to give him t

    Eve’s POVI hate him.I hate this man with everything inside me.How dare he… But then, was it really his fault? Was it his fault that I was… that my body was so unappealing? God, what am I thinking? He should have known. He should have realized it when he signed that contract. It was his fault for expecting better.Couldn’t he see? Couldn’t he tell that I wasn’t like those princesses with full curves and soft, delicate beauty?I was thin—too thin, maybe. With my bones protruding and my skin stretched over them like parchment.Damn him.Let him rot in hell.At least I was alive. At least I was surviving. After the life I’d had, beauty was a luxury, and curves? A privilege. When you struggle to fill your stomach, you don’t get to worry about filling out a dress.I curled into myself, pressing my cheek into my palm. The other arm wrapped around my torso as if I could hold myself together. My throat was dry, my limbs cold despite the blanket I had pulled tightly around me. His abs

    Eve’s POVForeign.That’s how I felt in my own body.This sensation. This unbearable heat pooling in my stomach, the twisting knots of anticipation and dread. No one had ever made me feel like this before. No one had ever made me this aware of myself—of my body—like a caged animal, both yearning and terrified of release.I thrashed, instinct and fear warring inside me, but his hands were unyielding. Massive palms gripped my thighs and wrenched them apart, pinning me open like I was his possession to inspect. To claim.Hot breath ghosted over my core, and panic struck like a whip, slicing through the haze of my confusion.“No, wait—!”The apple he’d stuffed between my lips muffled my plea, juices spilling onto my tongue, trickling down my chin like some perverse offering.I spat it out, breath heaving, desperation clawing at my throat. “Stop!”His head snapped up, irritation flashing in those ruthless, steel-colored eyes. “What now, little mouse?”Time. I needed time. But how did I ask

    I bite my lip and fumble through the clothes in my wardrobe, my fingers trailing over the brilliant colors and luxurious fabrics. Red, pink, blue. Silk, satin.What did he mean by accessible?I have no idea.What do women usually wear on their first night?Not that I would know. My entire life had been spent in the same tattered clothes, one of which was my favorite shawl. I pull out a pink pajama set, soft satin with delicate lace hemming.This looks decent. It’ll cover most of my skin…Agh! What am I thinking? He’s going to rip them off anyway. How else would he take me?Now that he’s fulfilled his part of the deal—bringing Lilly back—I have to keep mine.My cheeks flare just imagining it, and I pat my palms against my face. No need to make a big deal out of this. It’s just sex, right? Women do it all the time, some just for pleasure. It doesn’t have to mean anything.Lilly told me about one-night stands.One night. That’s all this would be.My thoughts wander to her, picturing her

    Eve’s POV I paced outside John’s door, nerves frayed, patience thin. Damn him. So what if he’s her mate? That didn’t mean he could shut me out. I just needed to see her. Just once. Left with no other option, I pressed my eye against the small crack in the wooden door. Nothing. I adjusted, trying harder— Damn it! I could see nothing. Considering how feral and angry Beta John looked, what if… what if he hurt her? No. I needed to think of something else. My gaze flicked to the window outside, directly above me. The Beta’s room was on the second floor. Think, think, think. That’s when I saw it—the pipe running up the stone wall. Perfect! I sneaked out of the castle , evading through the guards and without another thought, I grabbed onto the pipe and hauled myself up, my muscles burned as I pushed my body higher. The rough metal dug into my palms, but I ignored it, determination pushing me forward. One last pull, and I reached the window’s edge. My breath came in short burst
