It wasn’t my business. 1served Alpha Filan quietly, making sure to avoid brushing his hand or lingering too long

Then I turned toward Beta Matthew’s table. As I approached, he gave me a smile that eased the heaviness in my chest. I returned it with a small, w smile of my own aut poured him some coffee. I could feel Alpha Ethan’s paze burning into me from behind, sharp and invasha lika always, budiret, to let it shake me. I didn’t care anymore.

Just then, the head maid cleared her throat sharply from behind me. “Raven,” she called, “Lona Olivia wants her breakfast served in her room. Hurry up and go.”

“Damn her,” I muttered under my breath as i turned and went back to the kitchen. “Why is she so bent on making me suffer?”

balanced the tray with care, trying not to spill anything despite the tremble in my hands, and began the long walk toward Olivia’s room. The corridor felt colder the closer I got. With every step, my stomach tightened with dread. I reached her door and stood for a moment, forcing myself to take a deep breath before knocking lightly.

“Come in

came her usual icy response.

I pushed the door open gently, Olivia was sitting on a cushioned chair by the window, her phone in hand, her legs crossed in elegant arrogance. She didn’t even look up when I walked in.

“Good morning.” I greeted stiffly, placing the tray carefully on the small table near her.

I turned to leave immediately, not wanting to linger longer than necessary, but her voice cut through the silence just as my hand touched the doorknob.

“Stop right there.”

“Yes, Luna?” I asked, forcing the bitterness out of my voice.

“Come back here,” she said, her voice dangerously calm.

I turned around reluctantly and faced her.

“Do you, by any chance, know where Alpha Ethan spent the night?”

Her words struck me like a slap. Hy mind skipped a beat. Of course, I knew. He had spent the night in that room–with me. His scent still clung tainly to my skin. But there was no way I was going to tell her that. I would never survive her wrath.

Traised a brow, pretending to be confused.

“Why would I know where he spent the night?” I said carefully. “isn’t he your mate? Or… Is he not anymore?”

Her face twisted with fury.

“Watch your tongue!” she snapped.

I didn’t reply. I had already said too much, but I couldn’t help the bitterness that seeped i

d into my words

“You’ve grown too bold lately.” Olivia said, her voice low and venomous. “Maybe it’s time I reminded you of your place.”

Kneel, the ordered.

My jaw clenched. I didn’t want to, but I knew resisting would only make things worse,

Kneel, she repeated, more forcefully.

I dropped to my knees, my pride crumbling with me.

“Since you’re so eager to serve,” she sneered, “you can serve as my table.”

Before I could process her words, she took the steaming cup of coffee from the tray and walked behind me. My breath hitched.

Then I felt it.

The scalding hot liquid splashed down my back, soaking through the thin fabric of my dress. I gasped sharply, the burning pain shooting across my skin like wildfire. Tears stung my eyes, but I bit my lower lip hard to keep from crying out. I dared not say a word.

I stared at the floor, gritting my teeth as the pain spread, radiating from the point of contact. Olivia walked back to her seat, relaxed, unconcerned, and began eating her breakfast as if nothing had happened:

Minutes p passed. Maybe half an hour, I didn’t move. I couldn’t. My legs were numb, my back felt like it was on fire, and I was light–headed. I hadn’t eaten anything last night. I couldn’t. And this morning, I’d been too busy, too scared, too exhausted to even drink water.

Eventually, Olivia stood and stretched.

“You may leave,” she said flatly, like dismissing a stray dog.

I didn’t move.

I tried

My arms trembled as I pressed them against the floor to lift myself. My vision blurred. The room tilted dangerously, and a ringing started in my ears. My legs felt like jelly, but I forced myself to rise, I stumbled toward the door, my knees buckling once, but I caught myself.

I opened the door and stepped out, the hallway spinning slightly around me,

The world was too bright. Too loud. Too fast.

I walked, barely conscious of where I was going. My skin itched and burned. My stomach ached with emptiness, my mouth dry. I couldn’t breathe properly. My feet dragged against the floor. I didn’t even care if someone saw me. I just needed to get to my room. Or anywhere away from her.

Then I heard a voice calling

“Raven!”

It was faint at first, like a whisper in the wind, but it grew louder, closer,

“Raven, wait!”

I tried to turn my head, but my body wouldn’t respond properly. The voice was familiar, and it brought a strange sense of comfort. Then I saw him

Beta Matthew

His face was a mixture of shock and concern as he rushed toward me.

“Raven! What happened to you? Are you okay?
