MARA'S (MARCELLO) POVMy heart pounded in his chest as Princess Isabelle stirred awake, her sharp gaze piercing through the dark right to me. I felt sudden panic as my gaze met hers, my heart pounding in my chest. For sure I have been exposed.I knew Isabelle had been very suspicious of me and now she has caught me sneaking out of the room. My brain scrambled for an answer to her questions as she narrowed her eyes to me.“I…I” I started but the princess suddenly leaned back onto the bed and then her eyes slowly fluttered close.I let out a deep breath of relief, my hands clutching my chest as my breathing evened. I stood in the same spot for a few seconds watching the princess sleep until her chest rose and fell softly.I let out a low breath to steady my breath and finally twisted the door knob and silently slipped out of the room. I tiptoed carefully through the dim hallway, my every move calculated. Now the risk was too much and I can't afford to get caught.The cool night air br

ISABELLE'S POVMy chambers were lit with a single candle as I settled back onto my pillow. I took a deep breath, a smile playing on my lips as I recalled the events of the night. Mara's unusual behaviour recently only confirmed my suspicions. Her weird glances, the stiffness in her movements, and the way she was always not comfortable around me were all too telling.I intentionally fell back asleep last night so she could sneak out and slowly reveal her true identity.Tristan had listened to my concerns and arranged secret protection for me and also tailed her wherever she went.My wolf stirred,’ Mara is far from ordinary, Isabelle. Her aura carries the scent of your mate. Yet, her true identity is hidden.’The moon goddess must be playing with me now. Was this her way of testing my resolve, mating me with someone whose identity is a secret? Punishing me for something I can't understand?I pushed the thoughts aside as my gaze landed back on Mara with a mischievous glint in my eyes,

ISABELLE'S POVI looked up to face Levi, the air around the table suddenly heated up..My wolf immediately stirred a low growl echoing in her mind. This is it. It’s over. The internal scream of my wolf mirrored my panic. Levi stared at my hands wrapped in Alan's, his eyes clouded with confusion.My heart pounded as Levi kept staring and now, I could see the wheels turning in his mind. His gaze landed on the necklace I was wearing around my neck, a gift from Kale before he left for war. "Would you join me for a meal?" he asked, his tone polite but firm. "I’d like to catch up."I hesitated a moment, but Alan squeezed my hand under the table. I slowly nodded, knowing I had little choice since he was already there. Levi settled on the other chair at the table, the air heavy with tension and unspoken questions.As we all sat, Levi leaned forward, his eyes searching mine. "So, what is your relationship with Alan?"The question hit me like a punch to the gut even though I was expecting it.

ISABELLE'S POVI returned home in silence, my mind swirling with the situation of my relationships with Kael and Alan. The maid beside her, however, turned to her with a hesitant smile. "You know, Princess," she teased with a knowing look, "it’s interesting how you rushed back to see Kael when you were just with Alan. One might think you have a favourite."I laughed lightly, "I guess I am a heartless woman," I murmured under my breath, shaking my head at my situation. The weight of my choices lingering in my chest.When we finally arrived at the villa, I stepped out of the car and approached the entrance , the door. My heart was racing in my chest as I thought of Kael waiting for me in my chambers.But my eyes caught movement in the garden, I narrowed my eyes and noticed Mara in the garden, trimming branches and leaves. Her presence suddenly reminded me of the tension I had left behind. She turned around and greeted me with a polite nod, but I brushed past her without a word. I coul

MARA'S POVMy face remained impassive as Emily closed the door of the princess's chambers. Immediately we were out of the room she turned to me with a strained expression.“What do you think you're doing?” She asked, her tone sharp and filled with suspicion. The tension in the air was heavy, and I could feel the disdain in her words.I remained silent, staring right at her. “You need to work on your approach with the princess.” she continued. It was clear that Emily had been watching me closely, and my patience was wearing thin."I was only doing my duty," I shot back coldly, my voice louder than I intended. The resentment I was feeling was bubbling just beneath the surface, “You know you're doing way more than that.” She replied harshly.My eyes narrowed as I added, "Unlike some of us here, I’m not blinded by infatuation. I care for the princess's well-being more than the pretence of respect."Her gaze only hardened more, but I didn’t flinch. Instead, I took a step closer, staring
