MARA As I arose from dizziness, the sanitary, cold air slapped me. I blinked, disoriented, at my unfamiliar surroundings. It was an office, but not the kind with cushy chairs and fake plants. This one screamed money, with glass walls, pristine white floors, and medical equipment humming softly in the background. Sweat trickled down my temple as my gaze drifted to the glossy x-rays plastered on the walls, each one showcasing the intricate structure of a spinal system. The whole office reeked of antiseptic and desperation—the kind you can’t scrub away, no matter how hard you try. One particular x-ray caught my eye – the one with the dark, menacing blob looming over the T9 vertebra. That was definitely a tumor. Its presence in that particular area of the spine was a ticking time bomb. And removing the tumor would require a surgical precision that will bank on a miracle. One misstep, one miscalculation, and the consequences would be catastrophic. The patient's spinal

ROLAN I slowly regain consciousness with a blank mind and weak body. I wake up to the sound of steady beeping. My eyelids are heavy, like someone’s tied weights to them. I try to open my eyes, and when I do, I'm met with empty bags of blood hanging from the drip stand like forgotten ghosts and I know I’m in a hospital and I've lost a lot of blood. My head spins, a dull ache throbbing at the base of my skull as my gaze falls on my bandaged leg, and it all comes rushing back— Memories of the war with Kael's pack, the trap, Mara saving me...it's all still a bit fuzzy, but I remember the pain and the fear. Mara’s determined and gentle face flashes in my mind, as she crouches over me, saving my life. I try to sit up, but the world tilts violently forcing me to lie back. I let out a sharp breath as the dizziness pins me back down. My gaze falls to my leg, now heavily bandaged. The memory of the masked man clawing at my flesh, the artery cut clean through. I felt so embarrasse

MARA My wrists burned against the rough rope, bound tight to the bedposts. I tugged, but all it did was scrape my skin against the twine. My wolf stirred inside me, restless, but useless. She had never surfaced. Not once. "Stop squirming," Lola scoffed. "You're only making it worse for yourself." ~~~~ A year ago, I thought getting my wolf would mean freedom. Everyone said it was the beginning of true strength, a chance to step into the world and finally claim your place. I thought I would find my mate, someone who would protect me and fight for me. But none of that happened. Instead, I wandered aimlessly for hours in endless circles unable to perceive my own mate the entire night until darkness fell. My wolf’s senses didn’t heighten. Unlike other wolves, I was unable to see or smell anything clearly. Ria could only communicate with me. It felt like being lost, blind, and helpless, like being stuck in a fog and I had to return to the palace, Mateless! Hopeless! And exhausted

MARAHer heels clicked ominously against the white tiled floor and her perfectly manicured nails were like talons as she folded her arms and surveyed the scene. "What’s going on here?" she demanded, her eyes narrowing as she gave me a bitter look."He—he was trying to—" I stuttered, but Lola cut me off with a hot slap that was hard enough to send a shockwave through my body. The sting spread across my skin, but it was nothing compared to the betrayal that churned in my gut. I blinked through the pain, blood trickling from the corner of my mouth as I wiped it away, my fingers trembling.She asked me in a mockery tone. Don't tell me you're trying to hoard your useless virginity?" Lola’s laugh was sharp and grating, like nails on a chalkboard. “Oh, sweetie.” She said, stepping forward. “You can’t hide under that anymore.”Before I could process whatever was happening, Lola grabbed my wrist and pushed me roughly backward into the bed. My head hit the bed frame, and stars danced in my v

MARAI ran out of the palace immediately because Alpha Shawn, who could be my only saviour, was out of the Pack for a very important meeting.I barely came out of the palace, so I had no idea where I was headed, but I kept racing into the woods. Suddenly, it began to rain. The rain lashed down on me like icy needles as I bolted into the woods, my bare feet slipping on the slick ground. Each step felt like freedom and doom all at once. My wolf, Ria, had taken over, her speed was unmatched as we soared through the forest, weaving through the towering trees that loomed like masquerades.The thrill of my first shift overpowered my fear. The sensation was unlike anything I had ever felt, as though I had been caged my whole life and now, finally, the bars had shattered. The forest blurred around me, every drop of rain sharper, every sound around me was louder. Yet my inner strength screamed louder still.“Run, Mara. Don’t stop. Don’t think.” Ria encouraged me.But my luck soon ran out—ju
