“Lily, are you sure you’re okay with this?” My mother’s voice was soft, but it carried a weight of worry that settled deep in my chest. I looked up from where I was tying my hair back, and met her eyes kind, tired, and lined with years of trying to protect me in a world that seemed determined to make life hard. Her face was wrinkled, her hands rough from years of work, but whenever she looked at me, there was always a warmth that made even the darkest days feel a little lighter. I gave her a small, reassuring smile, even though my stomach felt tight. “I’m fine, Mom. It’s just cleaning. I’ve done it a hundred times before.” She reached out and brushed a stray strand of hair from my face, her touch gentle. “I know, but… you know how some people are. They don’t see you as one of them, no matter how long you’ve been here.” I nodded, because it was the truth. I had been adopted by them when I was just a tiny baby, left on the steps of their small cottage with nothing but a blanket and a

It was exactly 7:30 a.m. when I stood in the narrow hallway, rolling up my sleeves and getting ready for the day ahead. Ever since the incident at the Alpha’s birthday celebration, I’d been pulled out of school completely no matter how many times I begged, no matter how many times my parents tried to talk to someone in charge, the answer was always the same. Omegas like me didn’t need education. We needed to work. And work was exactly what they gave me. My list of chores never changed, but it always felt endless. Scrubbing the stone floors until my knees ached and my hands were raw. Washing piles of dishes so tall they looked like they might topple over. Collecting trash from every corner of the pack house, and running errands for the higher ranking members who acted like I was nothing more than a pair of hands to use whenever they wanted. I was on my knees, scrubbing a particularly stubborn stain near the entrance, when my back gave a sharp twinge. I sat back on my heels, wiping sw

Lily’s POV Midnight had long settled over the pack lands, wrapping everything in a thick, quiet darkness. The hustle of the day had finally died down, leaving only the soft rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. I sat on the cold ground just outside the small shed they called my quarters, my knees pulled tight against my chest, letting the silence swallow me whole. This was the only time I had to myself. The only time no one was yelling orders, no one was throwing insults or garbage, no one was pushing me around like I was less than dirt. During the day, I had to keep my head down, keep my mouth shut, and work until my hands were raw and my back ached so bad I could barely stand straight. But here, in the dark, I could let it all out. Sometimes I whispered my feelings to the wind how tired I was, how much I missed my parents, how heavy it felt to be treated like I didn’t deserve to breathe just because I was born an Omega, just because my wolf hadn’t shown itself yet. I to

I shouted until my throat felt raw and dry. “Is anyone there?! I am trapped here please hear me and help!” I gathered every bit of strength left inside me, just so my voice could travel through thick stone walls and iron bars. But one whole hour passed… and not even one person came near. No footsteps, no voice back. Only silence and cold. This was my last chance before everything settled down and guards returned to their posts. Once the pack order went back to normal, I would be taken out and sentenced to death. I knew it clearly. My hands and feet felt stiff and numb. They had been pressed tight against cold iron rings fixed deep into stone for hours already. My skin was sore, swollen, and marked with dark bruises. Every little movement sent sharp pain running all over my limbs. The air here was always freezing. It smelled heavy old dampness mixed with rust, dried blood and dirt from many years. The ceiling looked pitch‑black, low and heavy like it might fall any moment. Water dr

Seeing him so eager to get me like I was something he had spent a lifetime searching for, something precious he had never dared to hope he would hold I felt nothing but confusion clawing at my chest. Why? Why would I have another mate? The bond I had known was supposed to be my only one, forever. I had been asking myself this question over and over, my mind spinning with every possibility, every doubt, every fear that had settled deep in my bones since the day I was cast aside. I was so curious, so desperate to understand what was happening to me, why fate was stitching my life to someone new when I was still bleeding from the last one. He took a slow step closer, his movements fluid, almost gliding, like his feet never quite touched the earth. His dark eyes burned with a quiet intensity that made my breath catch, yet there was no threat in the way he looked at me only a hunger that felt different from anything I had ever known. Not the greedy hunger of someone who wants to use me, I
