PROLOGUE When love and command collide, what will shatter? Megara Smith, seventeen, faces a life irrevocably altered by her mother's betrayal. Not only did her mother abandon their family, but she also stole her father's fortune, leaving him bankrupt. Megara, already wary of the wealthy, finds solace only in her loyal best friend, Nathan Jones, a rare exception who chooses to attend their local community school despite his privileged background. Fate, however, has a cruel twist in store. Uriel Oman Jefferson, the arrogant and irresistibly handsome leader of the popular Zealous boy group, and heir to one of the UK's most powerful families, crosses paths with Megara. Their initial encounter at a local cafe ignites a spark of defiance in her, a spark that Uriel, accustomed to unquestioning obedience, finds infuriatingly captivating. Despite his fervent desire to forget her, destiny intervenes. Megara's academic brilliance earns her a scholarship to Royal Von High, Uriel's own exclusive domain. The unexpected reunion fuels his resentment, and he vows to expel her. But his attempts to sabotage her only draw them closer, a dangerous dance of attraction and animosity. Complicating matters is Hugo Arnold, the compassionate seventh grandson of the Arnold dynasty. He harbors a secret affection for Megara and desperately pleads with Uriel to abandon his vendetta. As Hugo forges a brotherly bond with Megara, his jealousy intensifies, threatening his friendship with Uriel. Will Hugo succumb to the bitterness brewing within him, or will he rise above his envy? This is a tale of love and betrayal, of fame and revenge, and ultimately, of the transformative power of empathy and forgiveness.

Wulfric said. Kato scoffed, disgusted, looking at the young, dead-faced girl in chains, hunching. "Is this some sort of joke? A HUNCHBACK GIRL? What am I going to do with her? Can I even hump her? This is not a gift, this is an insult!" Kato fumed. "She is still a princess, no matter how awkward she might look. She is still my daughter, and i am giving her to you as a gift because she is just as precious to me. " Wulfric said, her brothers and sister behind him snickered. "Even better," Thane began. "She is untouched, chaste. A virgin." "Of course she is. Who would touch her? She looks wretched and disgusting." Kato said through clenched teeth. "Careful now!" Dantina scolded. "She is still my father's daughter. You will not disrespect him this way. " Dantina said. "Take her. Fuck her, sell her, skin her, and make her your slave—any type of slave. I don't care. But just take her; she is yours now, Alpha Kato. The Hunchback princess of the Lupercus Pack is yours. And thus, our friendship." Wulfric smiled. Kato looked at her one last time; she dared not raise her eyes to meet him. ‘Cursed thing’, he thought. “Carl, bring her along.” Kato signalled to his beta. “Father! Father!!" Remi’s voice suddenly burst through. “Please, please. Don’t do this to me.” She sobbed. “Please, da.” But they all just stared at her with smiles.

The past week had felt like a lifetime of dodging my own feelings. As I sat at the head of the table, I felt the dam about to break, then the door swung open, and my heart lurched. Chris stood there, a storm cloud personified. His expression was unreadable, but one thing was clear: he wasn't smiling. My staffs exchanged glances, their gazes then focusing on me. "Eve," Chris's voice was low. "We need to talk." The room went silent, thick with nervous energy. The unspoken question hung in the air. "Chris," I said, my voice calm despite my pounding heart, "can this wait? We're in the middle of an important meeting." I wanted him to leave, to deal with this later, on my terms.

I had dreamed of this. He pulled back, his hands on my shoulders, his gaze searching mine with an intensity that made my heart flutter. The anger lingered, but it was mixed with something else.
