Anna's POV

Martha bowed. A deep, respectful bow that made every other person in the kitchen do the same.

"You have good kitchen skills, Luna," one of the cooks said admirably.

"I worked in a diner for two years. If you cannot chop fast, you do not survive."

"A diner?" Another cook looked up with surprise. "You really worked in a diner? But you are an Alpha's daughter."

"My father did not believe in paying for my education. So I paid for it myself. Waitressing. Dishwashing. Whatever job I could

  • The Alpha Only I Can See    Chapter 41

    Annastasia Pov. I stepped back cautiously. My wolf was alert. Watchful. "You should not be here, Valeria.""Should I not?" Valeria laughed. It was a hollow, broken sound. "Because of you, I lost everything. My father doesn't look at me. The council has abandoned me. Selene will not speak to me. Hector locked me up like a criminal. My reputation is destroyed. My career is over. Everything I worked for, everything I built, is gone."She took a step toward me. Her hand knocked against the wine bottle, and it rolled off the counter and shattered on the floor. She did not seem to notice."That is not my fault.""Is it not?" She stepped closer. Her movements were unsteady. "You came here and everything fell apart. Everything I worked for. Everything I built. Gone. Because of you.""Valeria, you need to leave. You're drunken. You are not supposed to be here.""Not supposed to be here?" She laughed again. "I built this place. I worked here for years before you ever set foot in this territory

But you are an Alpha's daughter.""My father did not believe in paying for my education. So I paid for it myself. Waitressing. Dishwashing. Whatever job I could find."The cooks exchanged glances. Something shifted in their expressions. Respect. Real respect. Not the forced kind that came from fear of Hector's authority. But the kind that came from understanding. From shared experience."That is admirable, Luna," Marta said quietly. "Not many Alphas' daughters would dirty their hands with kitchen work.""I am not like most Alphas' daughters.""No," she agreed. "You are not."By late morning the rush was over, and the kitchen was finally under control. T

    Anna's POVMarta forced a smile. It was polite but uncertain. "My Luna, you are too kind. But you do not have to do this. We are servants. This is our job. The Alpha depends on our cook to make something delicious for the guests. Besides, even if we allowed you to cook, the staff would not agree. You are the Luna. It is not proper for you to work in the kitchen.""I know it is your job. And you are doing wonderfully. But you are also short staffed and overwhelmed. I have two hands. I know how to chop vegetables and stir pots. Let me help."Marta stared at me. Her mouth opened and closed. She looked at Lena, as if hoping for support. Lena just smiled and shrugged."Luna, I really must insist—""And I really must insist back," I said. My voice was firm but gentle. "I am not above working in a kitchen. Before I came here, I worked as a waitress to pay for my education. I washed dishes. I scrubbed floors. I am not afraid of hard work. So please. Put me to use."The kitchen was still silen

    Anna's POVThe pack mansion was alive with noise.I woke to the sound of footsteps thundering through the hallways, voices shouting orders, furniture being dragged across floors. Outside my window, I could hear cars arriving and departing, guards calling to each other, servants rushing across the gravel driveway.The gala.Tonight, every Alpha and Luna from every pack in the territory would gather under this roof. The most important political event of the year, and the Blood Moon pack was hosting it.And I had no interest in attending.I rolled out of bed slowly. My back was still sore, but the pain was manageable now. The wounds had scabbed over. The bruises had faded to yellow. I could move without wincing, which was more than I could say two days ago.The bathroom was warm and steamy when I stepped inside. I let the hot water run over my shoulders and tried not to think about the gala. About Hector. About the way he had held my chin and asked if I loved him. About the way I had lie

    Annastasia Pov. Kassian studied me for a long moment. Then he sighed. "You are as stubborn as he is. Perhaps that is why you are so well matched.""We are not well matched. We are a business arrangement.""Whatever you say, my dear." He leaned back in his chair. "You may be right. Or you may be wrong. But either way, it is not my place to say." He paused. "You wanted to discuss about something else."I nodded. I was grateful for the change of subject. "The girl. Mira."Kassian stiffened. His expression shifted. The weariness was still there, but beneath it was something else. Something darker."You noticed," he said quietly."Of course I noticed. I am your student. I know when you are hiding something."Kassian was silent for a long moment. He stared up at the moon. Its light reflected in his tired eyes."The girl seems fine," he said finally. "Her wolf is healthy. Her vitals are strong. By every measure, the cure worked." He paused. "But there is something in her system. Something I

    Anna pov. It was nighttime when we returned to the pack. The moon hung high and full overhead, casting silver light across the forest and the pack house and everything in between. The car pulled to a stop in front of the main entrance. Guards stood at their posts. Servants moved through the hallways. Everything looked normal. Everything looked peaceful. But nothing felt peaceful. Not to me. Hector got out first. He walked around the car and opened my door before I could do it myself. His hand reached for me. I took it, letting him help me out of the back seat. My body was still sore. My back still throbbed with every movement. But the pain was duller now. More distant. Lena and Kassian climbed out of the car behind me. They stood a few feet away, giving us space. But I could feel their eyes on us. Watching. Waiting. Hector did not let go of my hand. He looked down at me, his dark eyes intense in the moonlight. His jaw was set. His shoulders were tense. I could feel the ang

    Annastasia POV Hector drove. I sat in the passenger seat, still trying to get him to tell me where we were going. He gave me nothing. Just the occasional glance and the faintest hint of a smirk. The man was impossible. The city passed by outside the window. Blood Moon territory was even more i

    ANNASTASIAA knock at the door woke me.I sat up slowly, blinking against the sunlight streaming through the window. For a moment, I did not know where I was. The bed was too soft. The room was too big. The sheets smelled of lavender instead of basement damp.Then I remembered. Blood Moon. Hector.

    ANNASTASIAWe drove away as the first sounds of fighting began.I turned in my seat to look back. Through the rear window, I could see the courtyard of my father's pack house shrinking behind us. The crowd had scattered to the edges, forming a wide circle. In the center of that circle, two wolves f

    ANASTASIAThe sharp, blinding ache behind my eyelids was the first thing that pulled me from the dark.I gasped, my eyes flying open, but the world was a distorted, dizzying blur of sterile white walls and harsh overhead fluorescent lights. The heavy scent of antiseptic and pack medicine burned my
