Vena.The sharp ring of the doorbell cut through the silence like a blade.I flinched.Miriam straightened immediately, wiping her hands on her apron as she glanced toward the hallway. “We aren’t finished here,” she said, her tone leaving no room for argument before she walked out of the kitchen.“I didn’t know humans went through that,” Sasha said, her voice quieter than usual, her book now forgotten on the table.“I could teach you,” she added after a second. “Reading and writing. If you want.”My head lifted slightly at that.Anya nodded quickly. “Yeah, that would be great! We can help too.”Katya didn’t look up, but she muttered, “Yeah, so you can help us with our homework.”I almost smiled.Before I could respond, Elena crossed the room and pulled me into a hug.I froze.My body went stiff instantly, my arms hanging awkwardly at my sides as I stood there, unsure what to do with it. No one had hugged me like that before and it felt… strange.“Miss Hunterwood, please, you can’t just

Vena.**Five years ago.I was already used to dreaming of the past, so when I saw Freya sitting on the edge of my bed, I didn’t burst into tears the way I usually did when memories of her came. In dreams she always returned as she had been before everything went wrong. She sat there with her legs tucked beneath her, smiling brightly.She was talking before I had even fully gathered myself.“He was so kind with me,” she said, her voice full of excitement, and I raised a brow because kind was not a word I expected anyone to use for an Alpha.“Well,” she corrected herself quickly with a little laugh, “maybe not kind exactly, but… not rough like I expected.”A blush filled her cheeks as she covered her face in her palm before she looked at me again.Freya launched into the story before I could ask. “We spent half the time talking. Can you imagine? I thought he’d be all commands and cold silence, but he actually listened.” She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, almost shy now.“He is

Vena.By midday my head felt fuller than the kitchen cupboards.I sat at the long table while Elena and Sasha turned what was supposed to be a simple lesson of the full moon ceremony into a full court education, and I was beginning to understand that wolves took the ceremony far more seriously than I had imagined.Elena stood several feet away in an old gown, holding a folded fan with a weird seriousness.She dipped into a graceful bow.Sasha, sitting straight-backed in a chair like some stern instructor, nodded once.“You may rise,” she said in a clipped voice.Elena rose, turned dramatically toward me, and pointed with the fan.“That,” she announced, “is how you greet the Elders.”I stared in confusion.“The Elders are seated to the left of the Alpha’s dais,” she said, “They are the oldest bloodlines in Thornmoon and hold influence second only to the Alpha. They are the only ones you are required to greet personally.”She handed me the fan and I took it awkwardly.“Now,” Elena said,

**18+Vena.His hand was at my throat when he turned me toward the wall.My palms braced against the cold stone as my breath came unevenly, the torn silk of my nightdress slipping to my feet, my pulse beating so hard I could feel it in my wrists.I should have fought harder. The thought flashed through me, and I felt desperate and ashamed.I should have pushed him away, should have run the moment the monster in him had returned.And yet I stood there trembling, trapped between the wall and the heat of him behind me, unable to tell where fear ended and something far more dangerous began.His breath skimmed my ear.“You never listen,” he murmured, his voice rough with that dark edge that made every word feel like a threat.I shut my eyes.“Nikolai…”His hand tightened at my throat just enough to tilt my chin and then I felt his finger over my pussy, and a moan escaped my lips“You are the most stubborn woman I have ever met.” He whispered into my ear and I shivered against his breath.Hi

Vena.When the driver opened the door, cool night air rushed in. For a second I stayed seated, gathering courage I wasn’t sure I possessed.Then I stepped out.My heels touched polished marble, and my breath left me immediately. Ahead, beneath the glow of lanterns and moonlight, Miriam waited for me.She stood with two tall girls I had never seen before, both close to my age, both dressed in matching rose-gold gowns. Their dark hair was pinned in intricate braids threaded with tiny pearls, and they looked so composed, so perfectly poised, that I instantly became aware of every awkward breath I took.The moment they saw me, they bowed gently. My fingers tightened around the silver fan in my hand.“You look lovely, my dear,” Miriam said warmly, stepping forward.Her voice grounded me and she gestured to the girls.“This is Anika and Danika. Your ladies of the court tonight. They’ll escort you through the ceremony.”I nodded, trying to appear less frightened than I felt.Anika offered a p
