Ella’s POV

The hope in Liam's eyes madesay it before | could think twice.

“Sure. We can grab a drink sometime.”

Liam looked relieved, even if he was completely oblivious to the turmoil swirling within my chest. Dammit! |

shouldn't have agreed to do anything with him no matter how badly | wanted to spend twith my old friend.

That was the problem-Liam was my friend. If | got too close and accidentally told him the truth about my curse,

then | would be condemning him, just like | had condemned the farmer. I'd never be able to forgive myself for

that. | already wasn't forgiving myself for the farmer.

“Oh, good,” Liam said, grinning. “When are you free? | can pick you up —

“3

“I'm, uh, always so busy with Lucien,” | blurted out. “So I'm not sure when I'll be free. He's still got health

problems, and he needs me. Maybe we can discuss it another time?”

Liam blinked at me, and | bit the inside of my cheek and desperately hoped that that would be the end of that;

maybe | could deflect long enough until Liam eventually forgot or gave up.

Finally, Liam nodded and said, “Alright. Well, we'll figure it out another time. Goodnight, Stella.” | let out the

small breath I'd been holding and managed a tight smile. “Goodnight, Liam.” Leaving Liam at my gravesite, |

turned and fled back to the house, kicking myself inwardly for ever agreeing to anything. It was already bad

enough that I'd killed the farmer, but Liam? | couldnt bear it if anything happened to him.

When | set foot back inside the house, | planned to retreat to my room for a much-needed night's sleep. But as |

passed by the servants’ den, | overheard the sound of raised voices within.

“He’ll never pick you,” a woman's voice was saying. “You know that, right?”

“You're just a worthless nobody who will do nothing but embarrass the Alpha. You'd be doing the entire pack a

favor by dropping out of the trial,” another added.”

“But I'm an Omega just like you—"*

“It doesn’t matter. You still cfrom trash-uneducated and frivolous, just looking for a way to climb the social

ladder.”

“That's not-"

“Teach her a lesson, girls. Let's start by cutting up that pretty dress, then that awful red hair.”

My footsteps slowed as | heard the altercation within. | recognized two of the voices immediately- Anya and the

maid who had giventrouble on my first night. What followed was the sound of a scuffle, Anya’s cry for help

cut off like someone had slapped a hand over her mouth.

| didn’t hesitate to burst into the living room. What | saw within made my blood boil.

Anya was currently being held down to the sofa by two Omega servants, her mouth covered by a broad hand,

while the maid from before brandished a small paring knife from the kitchen. The sound of shredding fabric filled

my ears as she began to cut away at the dress Anya was wearing- the very sone she’d saved up for.

“What the hell do you think you're doing?” | barked, surging into the room.

The women’s heads all snapped up and looked at me. Anya'’s eyes, wide with terror and filled with tears, lit up

when she saw me.

The maid sneered and held up her knife so the blade caught the light. “Teaching this little slut a lesson. Maybe

you should be next, since you also seem keen on climbing into the Alpha’s bed.”

“What ever happened to wanting an Omega to win the trial?” | asked, storming forward. | turned to the other two

women, ignoring the maid with the knife entirely. She was a lost cause. “You two were carryingon your

shoulders not too long ago, chanting about Omega justice. Was that a lie, or are you just so weak and pathetic

that you'll let your little ‘friend’ change your mind in the span of an hour?”

The two women exchanged nervous looks. | whirled toward the maid with the knife. “Drop that,” |

hissed.

Before she could react, | snatched her wrist, twisting hard enough that she yelped and dropped the knife to the

floor with a clatter. | picked up the knife and held it firmly out of her reach.

While the maid's chin waggled as she struggled for words, | turned back toward the other women. Get lost. Both

of you. Before | tell the Alpha what happened here and you all lose your jobs.”

The other women immediately released Anya and fled. Once they were gone, | helped Anya to her feet. She was

shaking.

“And you,” | said, pointing the tip of the knife at the other maid, “I'll be telling the Alpha about you first thing in

the morning. If you know what's good for you, you'll pack your things and leave before that happens. The Alpha

doesn’t give third chances, especially not when it comes to physical

assault.”

The maid looked like she wanted to argue, but she also knew | was right. As soon as Alexander got wind of this,

she would wind up in the cells.

With one final sneer, she turned and ran off.

“Are you alright?” | asked once we were alone, turning to Anya and checking her for injury. “They didn’t cut your

skin, did they?”

Anya shook her head and wiped her tears with the handkerchief | offered her. “No, thanks to you. You were

amazing, Stella... You bossed them around like a real Luna!”

| clenched my jaw, choosing not to respond to that.

“Nothing will happen to you,” I said firmly. “Just stand up for yourself.”

The moment Anya looked up at me, those big eyes filled with tears, | snapped.

Without a word, | turned on my heel and ran straight to Alexander's office. Ignoring the Beta’s protests, | shoved

my way inside and burst in on Alexander in the middle of a meeting.

“Don’t take my noff the list!” | shouted, causing everyone to look up atin shock.
