My head rang painfully, as though thousands of people were hammering against my skull, trying to split it open from the inside. The throbbing was so intense that I frowned deeply and cursed under my breath before forcing my eyes open.

The first thing I saw was the moon shining directly on my face through the window. It was unusually bright tonight, so bright that its light enveloped my entire body, wrapping around me like it was deliberately choosing me, bathing me in a soft silver glow. It was already dark outside, and the moon’s rays poured into the room.

I stared at it for a long moment, feeling strangely drawn to its light, before I finally looked away from the window and took in the rest of the room. The space was lit gently with candlelight, and expensive items filled every corner, beautiful furniture, ornate decorations, and luxurious fabrics, yet nothing felt overdone. It all carried a quiet, understated elegance. Even the bed I was lying on felt incredibly soft beneath me, the kind of softness that spoke of wealth most people could only dream about.

I held my head with one hand and frowned harder, trying to make sense of everything. “Where the hell am I?” I muttered to myself, almost too quietly for anyone to hear, as I struggled to piece together what had happened.

The last thing I clearly remembered was picking up the black sword and everyone suddenly realizing I was a woman. After that, the dizziness had hit me hard, and I had started to fall… but who caught me?

Crimson eyes flashed in my memory, and the deep voice echoed through my mind again. I froze.

“You make me lose my mind, little wolf.”

Crimson eyes. Alpha Damien.

He was the one who had caught me when I fainted. But why? And how? He wasn’t supposed to be at the warrior rite, so how could he have been there to catch me at that exact moment?

My head ached even more sharply as I tried to think deeper, the pain intensifying with every attempt to recall the details. Just then, the door to the room opened softly.

My body reacted on its own in the stupidest way possible. For some reason I couldn’t explain, I didn’t want to face him right now, so I quickly lay back down on the bed, closed my eyes, and pretended to be deeply asleep.

I kept my breathing slow and even as I heard two sets of footsteps entering the room. One voice belonged to Jason, who spoke carefully.

“Alpha, the people are talking. Rumors are saying you are involved with Lady Selene. And they want to know who she is, the woman that is so powerful.”

There was no immediate response, but I could feel a predatory gaze landing heavily on me, as if those crimson eyes were staring straight through my closed eyelids. I forced myself to stay perfectly still and ignore the prickling sensation on my skin.

Finally, Alpha Damien answered, his voice deep and calm. “I see. Shut it down.”

Jason sounded hesitant. “But Alpha, the rumors have already spread.”

Damien repeated firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument, “Shut it down.”

I heard Jason swallow hard, and I almost felt sorry for him. He was the beta of this crazy demon of a man, he must be going through a lot every single day. If I were in his position, I would have lost my mind long ago.

And what did Damien mean by “shut it down”? Did he really think it was that easy to stop rumors? They were one of the

fastest and most impossible things to silence once they started spreading. But then again, knowing the kind of man Alpha Damien was, maybe for him it wasn’t impossible at all.

I stayed perfectly still under the covers, pretending to sleep while my mind raced with questions and the dull ache in my head continued to throb.

Damien’s deep voice cut through the quiet room as he spoke calmly to Jason. “You may leave.”
