Zara's POVA dull, aching pressure throbbed in my skull, dragging me from the depths of unconsciousness.My body felt heavy, like I was sinking in an unseen abyss, trapped in a weight that didn’t belong to me. My senses were slow, sluggish, as if waking from the deepest slumber I had ever known.Something felt entirely wrong.My fingers twitched against an unfamiliar surface, soft velvet, smooth under my fingertips. It wasn’t my bed. It wasn’t even my pack’s rough straw bedding.My mind struggled to piece together fragmented memories. Bradlyn. His hands. His disgusting touch. His breath on my skin.A shudder ran down my spine, but then there was Alpha King Cade.The injection an then I went off.My heart skipped a beat as awareness crashed into me like a raging wind and I peeled my eyes open.Sunlight streamed through a small, elegant window, the light warming my skin. My vision blurred for a second before finally adjusting to my surroundings.I wasn’t in my pack anymore. My breath ca

Zara's POVI barely felt my legs as I forced myself to move past Angla.The moment our eyes had met, it felt as if the entire world had stopped—as if the weight of her existence in this place threatened to unravel everything I thought I knew.But I couldn’t stop.Not when Cade’s Beta, Forbes, was leading me deeper into the heart of the fortress. Not when the guards and the people of this kingdom were watching. Not when my very survival depended on how I handled myself in this unfamiliar world.I swallowed hard and clenched my hands into tight fists, keeping my head up as I walked past Angla without a word.But even as my body obeyed, my mind refused to let go.Why was she here? Had she been here all along?Or Had she always belonged to this kingdom?Did she know what would happen to me?I inhaled sharply, pushing the thoughts aside. Later. I’d think about it later. Right now, I had to focus on the path ahead.And what a maze it was.Forbes led me more deeper into the fortress, the deep

Zara's POVIn that silence, Dezecca watched me. She stood there, unmoving, her sharp eyes drilling into me with an intensity that felt like a blade grazing my skin.But she said nothing. She didn’t sneer this time around. She didn’t mock. She simply stared.Like I was a puzzle she couldn’t quite figure out or a threat she hadn’t decided how to handle yet.The weight of her gaze made my skin prickle, my spine stiffening as I forced myself to meet her eyes.I wouldn’t lower my head. I wouldn’t cower.But the moment stretched too long.A suffocating, unspoken hostility emanating from her couldn't be understated. I was still to determine my place in this world yet I had become an instant prey for kill or keep.Then, with a graceful turn, she walked out. Not in a hurry. Not with anger.But with the kind of poise that came from someone who knew she belonged here. Knew she was untouchable.I didn’t realize I’d been holding my breath until the door clicked shut behind her.A shaky exhale esca

Zara's POVAs I passed through several passages yet again which felt almost stuffed for me. My palms were damp against the fabric of my dress as I followed Forbes through the endless stone passages of the fortress. Each step I took felt like an echo against the towering walls, heightening the weight pressing down on my chest.Ever since I had arrived here, an unsettling feeling had settled in my gut. I had barely seen Cade since the carriage ride after I was sedated to sleep, and now, as Forbes led me deeper into his domain, I couldn't stop the nervous anticipation from coiling within me.We finally came to a stop in front of an imposing wooden door, reinforced with thick black metal. Forbes turned to face me, his sharp eyes scrutinizing me thoroughly.“This is the Alpha King’s private study,” he said, his voice even but firm. “You do not come here unless you are summoned. Do you understand?”I swallowed hard and nodded. “Yes.”His gaze stuck on me for a second longer before he reache

Zara's POVI sighed, rolling my shoulders as I reached for the first scroll on the towering stack before me. The edges were rough, some of them cracked, like they hadn’t been touched in years. The lights was shining unsteady across the papers as I carefully unrolled the parchment.The first few documents were tedious, filled with records of trade, taxation, and land agreements. At first glance, everything seemed orderly, but as I read further, something nagged at me. Some of the figures weren’t adding up.I frowned, tracing my finger over the inked numbers. Were these records… fabricated?Some transactions had amounts that didn’t make sense. Others listed suppliers I had never heard of, even though I had studied many kingdoms and their trade routes growing up.Was corruption running rampant under Alpha Cade’s rule too?That seemed almost impossible. He was meticulous, cold, and precise in everything he did. Would someone dare to deceive him? And if so, had he not noticed? I moved on

This chapter is strictly written in 3rd person POV for better clarity and exploration.Minutes later, Zara was done with the scrolls, she felt dizzy and fell asleep and Forbes stepped into the Alpha King’s private study. The light reaching every corners of the room. His gaze landed on the lone figure at the desk—Zara. She was slumped over, her head resting on her folded arms. The steady rise and fall of her back signaled deep sleep. Forbes exhaled, shaking his head. He had expected this. She had been here for hours, no doubt pushing herself to complete whatever task Cade had assigned her. And knowing the Alpha, it had to be something grueling. Moving carefully, he stepped closer. Her face, usually tense with anxiety, was now peaceful. Her brows weren’t drawn together, and her lips were slightly parted, her breathing soft and steady. It was rare to see her like this since she came, unguarded. Vulnerable. For a fleeting moment, hesitation gripped him. Should he wake her? Or just ca

Cade's POV.The weight in my arms was familiar, but I didn’t let myself focus on it as the walk through the passage seemed unending, quiet and save for the sound of my own footsteps and I realized that servants really work hard. Zara.She was still asleep, her body relaxed against mine, her breath warm against my neck. I could feel every rise and fall of her chest, the way her fingers occasionally twitched in her sleep. She had no idea what was happening around her. What she was unintentionally rising in me. I exhaled sharply, adjusting my grip. I should have just let the servants take her. Or perhaps, should have let Forbes do it. But I didn’t. Instead, I had carried her all the way here myself. A mistake. An unknowing yet craving mistake. Her scent clung to me, wrapping around my senses like a slow, insidious poison. She smelled like pine, soft, something warm, like the kind of thing I should be avoiding. Even though I had not sensed her wolf on her, strangely, her scent was

Cade's POVThe space in my chambers felt suffocating. I could still feel her scent, wrapping around me like an unshakable memory. I let out a slow breath and rolled my shoulders, trying to release the tension that had settled in my muscles. But the moment my eyes fell on my bed sheets still slightly rumpled from Dezecca’s earlier presence, I felt something tighten in my chest. I needed to get out. Without another thought, I turned and strode out of the room, my steps echoing against the stone corridors as I made my way to my study. My mind was loud. Too loud. By the time I reached my study, I barely hesitated before pushing open the doors and stepping inside. The scent of parchment, ink, and burning wood greeted me, familiar and grounding. My gaze landed on the desk, and my steps slowed. There they were. The scrolls I had given Zara. Neatly arranged, not a single one out of place. I exhaled through my nose, moving toward them, my fingers trailing over the aged parchment. She had

The warmth of sleep still clung to me as my eyes fluttered open. For a moment, I was caught between the haze of dreams and the slow realization that I wasn’t where I expected to be. The ceiling above was unfamiliar, smooth stone instead of the wooden beams I had grown used to in my old chambers. Then, the scent hit me. Rich, savory, and mouthwateringly inviting. My stomach twisted in hunger before my mind even had the chance to fully wake up. Blinking, I pushed myself up, my limbs stiff but not as weak as I had expected. A small wooden table sat in front of the bed, a steaming pot of soup placed at its center. I barely had time to process it before a voice spoke. “Eat. There's no time” I turned my head quickly, finding the middle-aged woman standing near the table with her arms folded across her chest. Her expression was...accommodating, though there was a slight arch in her brow as if she were studying me. I swallowed, glancing between her and the food. “What is this?” My voic

Zara’s POVI stepped out of the bathroom, my body feeling lighter but my mind still cluttered with unanswered questions and no matter how much I tried to ignore it. It was unsettling. A reminder that something had happened last night—something I couldn't quite recall.Denai was waiting near the small table, a comb in her hand. Without a word, she gestured for me to sit. I obeyed, perching on the chair as she ran the comb through my damp hair.“You should brace yourself today,” she said after a moment, her tone neutral.I glanced at her through the mirror. “For what?”Denai met my gaze with a knowing look. “It’s going to be a long day with the Alpha.”I frowned. “Why?”“The Alpha King is going hunting today.”That explained nothing. “And So?”Denai continued combing, her fingers surprisingly gentle despite her usual bluntness. “And you’re going with him.”I stiffened.“With him? Huh?” My voice came out sharper than intended.She nodded. “Alongside his Beta and a few servants.”A strang
