looked at the three faces in front of me. They looked ugly and angry. They were mad because they just lost their ticket to money ind power.
The burning pain on my legs was nothing compared to the ice-cold pain in my heart.
This was my family.
used to beg for a little bit of love from this house. I gave them almost all the money I earned from working for the pack. I paid for Carter’s training. I bought my parents a bigger house.
gave and gave, hoping they would finally love me.
When Silas announced I would be his Luna, they suddenly treated me well. They called me often. They asked if I was tired. I was tupid enough to think they finally loved me.
Now, the truth was out. They never cared about Harper Brooks. They only cared about what they could take from Alpha Silas.
didn’t say another word. I didn’t even try to clean the burns on my legs. I simply grabbed my bag and turned toward the door.
Where the hell do you think you’re going?” Robert barked. “If you walk out that door, don’t you ever come back! Let’s see who else vants a broken wolf like you!”
walked out and slammed the door shut, cutting off his shouting.
The night wind was cold. I leaned against the wall and took a long, shaky breath.
The world was huge, but I had nowhere left to go.

dragged my suitcase through the mud and picked up a key from the Pack Logistics Office.
They gave me a room in the old Omega Dormitories. It was tucked away in a dark corner of the territory, but it was enough for me o get by for the next two weeks.
was carrying a heavy cardboard box filled with old books and some herbs I used for healing. Just as I was about to head up the stairs,
ran into Silas and Chloe coming down.
Chloe was holding a folder. She tilted her head and laughed at something Silas said, nearly crashing into me.
Oh!” she gasped. She reached out her hands to catch the heavy box that was slipping from my arms. “Harper, dear? What are you noving? It looks so heavy. Let me help you carry it.”
Chloe’s smile was bright. Her tone was too friendly. I quickly tightened my grip and stepped back to avoid her touch.
No, thank you.”
It’s fine! I’m an elite warrior; I’m stronger than I look!”
Chloe reached out again. But then, Silas stepped forward. Without a word, he took the heavy box from my hands.
Chloe laughed when she saw this. “Alpha, really! Your hands are meant for battle and leading the pack. How can you do such heavy
abor?”
When Silas looked at Chloe, his usually cold golden eyes had a faint trace of a smile. His tone was soft and teasing-a tone I had lever heard him use with me.
Not as precious as yours.”
The words were quiet, but they felt like a silver blade piercing my heart.
Years ago, shortly after my inner wolf was broken, I had been carrying a stack of heavy defense logs. I lost my balance and dropped hem all over the mud. Silas had happened to walk by. I was terrified he would think I was weak and useless.
He just stopped, looked down at me, and said nothing. He didn’t bend down to help me pick up a single paper. Later, he just told the leta to give me a cart.
He never said, “Let me help.” He certainly never used that gentle tone to call me “precious.”
Chloe giggled at Silas’s words. Her cheeks flushed red. “Alpha, you’re teasing me again!”
ilas didn’t say anything else to her. He just looked at me and asked, “Which room?”
Room 402,” I replied. My voice was dry.
Silas and Chloe walked up the stairs together. Silas carried my box easily. They chatted and laughed like it was the most natural hing in the world. Chloe talked about funny things that happened during patrol, and Silas actually answered her.
The air around them was light and happy.
followed silently behind them, keeping a few steps back.
This scene was actually very familiar to me. For the past ten years, this was how I lived-following behind him like a shadow. I watched his back as he walked away alone, and lately, I watched Chloe walk beside him. I had always been just an extra piece in his ife, trying my best to fit in, but never truly belonging in his world.
At the door of 402, I pulled out my key to open it.
The Omega dorm was tiny. It only had a small bed, a desk, and a tiny bathroom. It smelled like dust, but it was clean. Silas set the Dox down on the floor.
It was only then that he seemed to realize where we were. He looked around the cramped, dark room. Then, his golden eyes fell on
