“Why does she keep blacking out?”“I have done everything I can, but her body just won’t respond. There’s nothing physically wrong with her…it’s her mind.”“Then wake her up!”A figure shifted on the bed, a soft groan escaping her as the distant voices grew clearer.“I can’t wake her if she won’t wake up.”“Do I look like I give a damn?!”The sharp shout jolted Ashley awake. She winced, her eyes struggling against the harsh light. Pain stabbed through them, raw and unfamiliar, like they didn’t belong to her.“Ash!” A familiar male voice called, drawing closer.“Ahh…” she groaned, trying to push herself up as Nathan came into view.“It’s alright. I am here,” he said gently, helping her sit up.By the time she steadied, her vision had cleared just enough to make out his face.“Alpha Nathan?” She whispered, shock lacing her voice. Why was he here? Why was she here? The last thing she remembered was the rain… crying… then nothing. Did she pass out?“I am here,” he reassured. “Are you feel

“How dare you defame me?!” Lucien shot to his feet, his roar reverberating through the hall as he pointed an accusing finger at the stranger, Luke.“I am afraid you won’t be given a chance to speak until the election is over,” Elder Bathsheba said firmly, dismissing Luke with a sharp wave of his hand. “Keep your grievances until then.”Luke let out a harsh, humorless laugh. “Do I look like I came here for your permission?!” He bellowed, his voice rising above the murmurs, drawing shocked gasps from the crowd.“How dare you?!” one of the seated elders snapped, rising to his feet in outrage.“Bring them in,” Luke ordered, completely ignoring their protests.The heavy doors creaked open, and a group of men, bound in chains, were dragged into the hall. The clinking of metal echoed ominously, sending a ripple of unease through the crowd.Ashley’s gaze drifted toward Lucien, almost absentmindedly at first but then she froze.His expression had changed. Gone was

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Ashley spent those two weeks trying to fit into her new world. From intense meetings that lasted for hours to pack tours that drained her strength, she never stopped working. “Alpha! Alpha!” A feminine voice called out repeatedly before the door was flung open and a figure rushed in without even bothering to knock. “Florence! What did I tell you about running around the pack house?” Ashley scolded, shaking her head in exasperation as her cousin approached. “I know, I know, but trust me, you will be glad I ran all the way here when you hear what I just found out,” Florence said, breathing heavily as she tried to steady herself. “Let me guess. Your father finally agreed to let you travel to the capital?” Ashley said blandly as she turned the page of the document she was reviewing. “No! It’s about you!” Florence exclaimed, but Ashley didn't look the least bit interested. “Yeah, yeah. And what is this great news about me?” she asked, her eyes

“It is okay,” Ashley responded, but Nathan didn’t look convinced in the slightest. He wanted to say more, yet unwilling to upset her again, he simply smiled and said, “Then we are set. We will arrive soon.”“Hmm,” she hummed in response and turned away, gazing out of the window.She couldn’t stop replaying the question in her mind. Could she actually handle seeing him every now and then? It had been easier before because she couldn’t see him. But now, with her feelings for him still fresh, how was she supposed to act unaffected? And to make matters worse, she would have to watch him marry the woman he had chosen over her. What if coming to the capital had been a mistake? Was it too late to admit it and turn back? What should she do?Some hours later, a seemingly endless line of vehicles stretching along the road came into view. Luxurious cars, family wagons, and elegant carriages stood in orderly rows, all waiting their turn before a massive gate that towered over the entrance. Guards

“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to, and I completely forgot to tell you.” He apologized, but Ashley had heard enough apologies for one night. “I need some fresh air. I will be back.” She cut him off and walked away before Nathan could say another word. “Alpha Nathan!” The moment he moved to follow her, a group of guests intercepted him. His gaze lingered on Ashley’s retreating figure until the crowd swallowed her whole. “Excuse me. Sorry!” Ashley pushed through the sea of people, her heart pounding relentlessly against her chest. Her thoughts kept circling back to Dane and Nora, and with every passing second, the anger inside her grew. Dane was no longer hers, she had accepted that long ago. But Nora? Her friend. The same friend who had stood beside her through everything was now marrying the man she once loved. No matter how she looked at it, it felt wrong. “Hey! Hi there!” A feminine voice rang out when Ashley brushed past someone. The force of the collision sent the woman stumbling
