Lily's POVIt had been four days since the incident in the alpha's room, and he hadn't come to see me. It was as if I were a shadow. I should have been happy to be ignored, but something still left me anxious. "Did the alpha say anything?" I asked nervously as Johanna opened the door. "Miss, the alpha has not returned from his trip," she replied seriously and gave me a gentle smile. "It's been four days, and he hasn't given any news or asked how I am..." I said anxiously. "Has something happened?" "No, the Supreme Alpha is extremely experienced and has never lost a battle. Anyone who crosses his path will have a slow and brutal death," she shrugged. "He goes for days without giving news to his pack?" I crossed my arms, feeling upset. "Why do you care? I thought you didn't want to surrender to the alpha. You should be happy he didn't look for you during all the days he was away," she gave me a cold look. I swallowed hard; Johanna was right. Why was I so worried? He was a strong a

**Lily's POV**I woke up in a panic as soon as Alpha left my room. My body was trembling when he touched his cold hands to my face to caress me. I thought he would discover that I was awake, but thankfully, he merely assumed I was cold and covered me with the blanket before closing the windows.I sat on the bed, confused. Furthermore, I was certain this wasn't the first time he had come into my room while I was asleep. But I couldn't understand why he was behaving kindly now, considering he had locked me in my room the entire day without food or water."Who is the person he dreamed about? And why did he say I look like her?" I thought suspiciously.I glanced at the clock; it was two in the morning. No matter how hard I tried to sleep, those thoughts continued to invade my mind. Who was Damon Blackwood? What was the Blood Moon Pack, and who was the woman the Alpha dreamt about?I knew that if I brought up the topic, he might simply lose control. Still, I needed to discover the truth.I

POV LilyAt that moment, I began to believe that Olivia's words were true. How could you watch one of your wolves be humiliated in front of you and do nothing? All because of a stupid hierarchy that makes some wolves think they're superior to others, just because they have a higher status in the pack. I've lived this my whole life...My hands continued to fold the clothes, but my mind was elsewhere. What Jennie was saying made me think deeply about the hierarchical system we lived in and how it affected each of us in the pack."I don't understand how you can accept all of this so passively," I muttered, my voice laden with frustration. "I grew up in a pack where class differences were harsh, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it as inevitable. Olivia feels superior to all of us just because of her position, and someone needs to stop her."Jennie looked at me with a worried expression. "Lily, don't get involved in this. Her family has a high status in the pack, and she's close to t

Olivia was in her room, a look of irritation on her face. She was arguing heatedly with one of the pack house servants, Sarah."You're incompetent, Sarah! You can't even perform a simple task! Are you trying to ruin our pack's reputation?" Olivia yelled, pointing at the pile of poorly ironed clothes on the couch.Sarah, visibly embarrassed and with teary eyes, tried to explain herself. "I'm so sorry, Lady Olivia, I was in a hurry, and...""Hurry? Hurry is not an excuse for shoddy work!" Olivia interrupted with harshness.At that moment, Clara, Olivia's friend, entered the room and noticed the tension in the air. She approached the two of them, concerned. "What's going on here? Why are you shouting at Sarah, Olivia?"Olivia sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping as if all the anger had drained from her. She then looked at Clara, her eyes expressing deep hurt."Clara, you know how hard I've fought to win the Alpha's affections. And even after everything I've done for him, he continues to

**Lily's POV**I was sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at the shining ring adorning my finger. It was a simple piece, but the pack symbol engraved on it made it special. I admired it, reminiscing about the night when the Alpha had thrown it out the window, and I had retrieved it. Jennie, my friend and roommate, was seated on the bed next to mine, wearing a worried expression on her face."Lily, you really shouldn't be wearing that ring," Jennie said cautiously, her gaze fixed on the gleaming object in my hand.I furrowed my brow, puzzled by her reaction. "Why not, Jennie? It's my ring, after all."She sighed, choosing her words carefully. "Lily, you know the Alpha threw that ring away that night. He was furious. I'm afraid that if he finds out you've recovered it, it could cause trouble."My heart began to race as Jennie's concern seeped into me. I had a vague sense that the Alpha wouldn't be pleased if he learned I had found the ring he had discarded. But the connection between
