“Let me go!” I shricked. They gripped my wrists like I was some filthy thing that’d been picked off the bottom of someone’s shoe.

Way to make me feel more worthless than I already felt! After my reputation was tarnished in the South, I was now being overlooked here. Is this going to be my life now?

I won’t let it be this way.

“I am important,” I spat at them. However, they only tightened their hold on my arms.

Their faces were blank as they led me inside a large palace–like infrastructure. They looked like they had seen every kind of treachery in the world and had grown tired of being surprised.

From somewhere within the stone–walled manor, a scream rose. It made the hairs on my forearms stand up. Woah. Whoever that person was seemed to have a lot of pent–up anger.

I can’t blame them. I have a lot of it buried inside my body, too. I mean, the world was getting more complex yet somehow stupid, so it was just expected.

I was actually intrigued by such anger, making me hasten my steps.

In fact, I had almost turned back the first moment I saw this land. I’d expected splendor in a place that boasted centuries of magic; instead, I’d found hunger, barrenness, famine, and even drought.

I truly almost left then. I almost walked back to Fenra and pretended the whole mess never happened. However, the moment Tessa’s face entered the back of my mind, I held myself back. I couldn’t go back there now.

When Rowan rejected the title and the opportunity to be with me, I was heartbroken. So, when I heard he was back, I was ecstatic. I thought maybe he had come back for me and regretted everything. After all, he was gone for a long time, and he must have had some realizations then.

However, I found out she was back, too. To make matters worse, he had chosen her again. He was head over heels for her!

The audacity of fate. How convenient for the world that it loved the plain and steady. How infuriating that it favored the undeserving.

They had taken my duties in Elite for a song, whispered the stories into ears that needed scandal to stay awake. I was stripped and shunted aside from the role that I worked hard to

achieve.

Meanwhile, Wilder could only dangle empty apologies. He wanted me to marry him. However, I wanted no one but Rowan.

I had wanted him since we were young, actually, and I had always been better at wanting than getting. But if Fenra would not give him to me, then Montrose would give me something else -leverage.

When Karl and Luna Mila decided that Tessa could stay in Fenra and treated her like she was the lawful Luna, that was my last straw.

I had defended the pack’s honor for so long, planned everything to send Tessa away, and for what? Now here she was, pampered as a wife, idolized by those I’d expected to bend their knees to me. And worse–my dismissal had been announced like an afterthought.

So I came here, crossing the sea in the night with a plan that would feed my ambition since I was a child. I always wanted to be an only child, pampered. However, I was given a sickly sister who had all of our parents‘ attention.

Next, I thought I would have Rowan after Ellana died, but I still did not get what I wanted after everything I had done.

I had done too much, actually, so it was too late to stop now. Now, I needed shelter and strength and, most of all, an enemy I could weaponize. Montrose had all three. They wanted to reach into Fenra. I wanted vengeance and a throne that had Rowan’s shadow on it. We were a perfect fit.

The chamber I burst into was ceremonial to the point of reverence. Tall doors carved with roses opened wider when I shoved them; the guards reacted slowly, their ritual training never teaching them how to handle someone who arrived already burning. I laughed in their faces because there was nothing else to do and because admitting fear would be a betrayal of the war I’d built in my head.

“Why would a vixen be here?” one wizard guard hissed. He had those old scars that showed he’d survived a lot of beatings. They looked at me like I was a moth.

I ignored them and kept walking with the guards who pushed me toward the doors.

“Stop pushing,” I hissed. “I’ll walk on my own if you want.”

They stopped for a moment and looked at me like I had grown three heads and lost my mind. That wasn’t true, though. I might have lost my soul, my heart, and my spirituality, but never

my mind. I took pride in the way that I thought.

“You don’t know how cruel Azalea Rose may be,” one of the guards said through gritted teeth.

“Azalea Rose?” I asked. “That’s quite a cute name. Sounds very powerful, too. I could already tell that we’re going to get along well!

We finally arrived in the room, looking much better than the land outside. In the center was a woman who was throwing a fit. Was this Azalea Rose? Most probably.

Azalea continued screaming, not heeding my presence.

“Why is she not respecting my power? Just because she’s the chosen one?”

“I told her not to tell anyone of the deal, but she went ahead and told that blonde guy! Now, they have strengthened their borders, and those Ylarc imbeciles are in the South, so we cannot use their people against their own,” she said, pacing back and forth.
