Astrid’s POV“Stop blaming yourself for it,” Nova suddenly spoke beside me, breaking me from my thoughts. “It wasn’t your fault. She was the one who approached us and said those mean things first. She was clearly asking for a fight.” I turned my gaze back to the view outside the window when I finally realized what she was talking about. “I’m sure she did it on purpose. She deliberately provoked you to make you lose control. It was obvious that she was trying to make you look like a bad person in front of your father. In the end, her plan backfired,” Nova continued talking. I sighed and lowered my gaze to my fingers. “It’s normal for her to feel that I’m a threat, Nova. As someone who grew up without a father, I will never know how it feels like to grow up with one. Asha had experienced that, and now she’s feeling that her father is slowly slipping away because of me. It’s normal for her to do such things. I only wish that her fear won’t become true.” Nova momentarily stopped what

Giselle’s POVI sat on the balcony, the warm afternoon sun dappling on my face as I bent over my sketchpad. A small smile played on my lips as I delicately guided the paintbrush across the paper, coaxing the vibrant hues of a delicate orchid to life. With each gentle stroke, the petals unfurled on the page, their delicate leaves and subtle gradient of colour emerging under my skilled touch. I lost myself in the rhythm of my movements, the brush dancing across the surface, creating a serene and beautiful image. But as time passed by, my smile slowly faded, replaced by a furrowed brow and a growing sense of dissatisfaction. With a frustrated huff, I pressed the bristles of the brush against the paper, covering the entire drawing with black pigment. “Luna, it was so beautiful. Why did you stop?” The omega beside me asked, who was also one of my attendants. “I don’t like it. It doesn’t look like an orchid at all. It looks like I am drawing chives,” I rolled my eyes as I sat b

Alpha Theron’s POVMy face flushed with rage as I bolted upright, slamming my fist down on the sturdy wooden table with a resounding crack. The Warrior in front of me visibly flinched. He lowered his head submissively after he had delivered the most outrageous report that I ever heard. My lips thinned as my chest heaved with rapid and shallow breaths. “This is preposterous!” I roared in anger. How could those people easily believe this kind of rumor? Who would even come up with it? My heart burned in anger just at the thought of it. “Alpha, please don’t get angry at me, I’m just delivering the news that I heard,” the warrior spoke in a small voice without looking at me. Upon hearing his voice, my piercing gaze turned back to the cowering warrior who cowered even more. “I-I’m sorry, Alpha,” he swallowed hard, unable to meet my gaze. I just sighed, containing my anger in. It’s unfair of me to direct my anger to him when this is not even his fault. I shouldn’t blame him for his re

Astrid’s POVMy brow furrowed in bewilderment when I heard his name. No hint of familiarity or recognition crossed my face after he had mentioned that his name is Andros. I’ve been the Silvermoon Pack’s Luna for so many years and I’ve met many special and important people as one, but I’ve never heard the name “Andros” my entire life. As my Luna, it was my job to widen our Pack’s connection and meet new people. “Andros” is a name that was never in my list. He said I should know who he is, but his name doesn’t even sound familiar to me at all even though it’s a pretty common name. “You,” he spat, the words dripping with contempt. “You should know me.” he fixed me with an accusatory glare. He must have felt offended that his name didn’t gain the reaction he expected from me.My mind raced, struggling to make sense of this confrontation. I don’t know him, nor do I know why he harbors such hatred towards me. Has he mistaken me for someone else?However, he knew what my name was. “I’m

Astrid’s POVI lowered my gaze when the atmosphere turned a hundred degrees lower when Alpha Theron arrived. I felt suffocated as tension grew between the father and son duo, both contesting each other with a hard gaze. Both of them share the same strong personality, both were refusing to back down from each other. I steeled myself, preparing for the inevitable explosion between the two commanding figures. Just like Nova and I who had done nothing wrong, the guards who had been moments away from dragging me away, cowered visibly at Alpha Theron’s sudden appearance, their grip on my arm slackening at the ALpha’s anger that was pointed towards it.“What’s the meaning of this?” Alpha Theron thundered, his voice echoing through their stillness. “Unhand her at once!”The guards, their faces pale with fear, quickly released Astrid, taking a step back as Theron advanced towards them, his powerful presence commanding their complete submission.Andros, however, reacted very differently. As h
