I am Princess Aurelia, but now, I am Torian Vance-my missing twin brother. I came to Wolfden Academy not for glory, but for revenge. Everyone who approaches me is a potential suspect in his murder. I must play the part of a weakling, an imposter, to uncover the truth from the shadows. But my disguise is being relentlessly torn apart by the two alphas I should fear the most. Ethan, with his golden eyes, promises protection but pushes closer, trying to uncover the secret behind my "weakness." Silas, with his icy words, cuts me down but stands before me when danger strikes. Their scents make me lose myself. Their presence terrifies me. In this cage built of lies and power, everyone has a secret. But mine is the deadliest of all: not just that I am a woman, but that my soul has claimed two masters. And if I'm exposed, I won't just fail my mission-I'll lose everything.

Chapter 1 A Star Falls

"No! Father! I can't do this! You can't treat me this way!" My shrill scream nearly

shattered the silence of the Vance Family council hall.

My father, Linus, the Alpha of our pack, his golden wolf eyes bloodshot, spoke in a

hoarse voice, "Aurelia, this is an order. For the Vance Family, and to ensure your

brother Torian's sacrifice wasn't in vain, you must go."

"Torian didn't sacrifice himself! He's only missing!" I retorted, tears blurring my

vision.

My twin brother, the future Alpha heir of the family, had mysteriously disappeared

on the eve of his departure for Wolfden Academy to fulfill an important alliance, his

fate unknown.

"His broken sword and a blood-stained family crest were found at the edge of the

Mist Forest," my mother, Elena, our noble Luna, choked on her words, "No signs of

life, only vague traces leading toward Wolfden."

Wolfden, the sacred ground of Alphas, now seemed more like a fearsome beast with its jaws wide open.

"And so, you want me, a defective who can't even control her wolf form, to replace

a genius Alpha?" I felt an absurdity in their decision, while the wolf spirit within me

growled restlessly. "What about my scent? Did you forget that my scent is so faint,

it's almost undetectable? Those powerful Alphas will easily see through me!"

Yes, I, Aurelia Vance, the daughter of an Alpha and a Luna, possessed pathetically

weak wolfish strength. My presence was a world apart from Torian's blazing Alpha

aura.

"We will hide your scent," the elder's voice was as cold and hard as stone. "Karen

and Jasper will return from the academy to assist you. From now on, you are

Torian Vance. The future of the Vance Family cannot be jeopardized."

"As for Aurelia Vance," my father's voice was like the blow of a cold hammer, "she

has already passed away from illness."

Rage, fear, helplessness... Is this the law of fate? That the individual can be sacrificed for the family's sake?

"And what if I refuse?" I clenched my teeth, my voice trembling as I asked.

A flash of pain flickered in my father Linus's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by

resolute determination. The Alpha's pressure emanated from him, freezing the air

around us. "Aurelia, do not force me to take action."

I understood-I had no choice.

"Fine." I spat out the word with difficulty, "I agree."

But I swore, in the name of the Lunar Deity, no matter who harmed Torian, I would

hunt them down!

Karen and Jasper quickly returned from Wolfden Academy.

Karen, my cousin, a composed and reliable Beta, looked at me with eyes full of

sympathy.

"Stop stalling, my dear cousin!" Jasper, the one who always thrived on chaos,

threw an arm around my shoulder, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Now, let's

give our new Young Master Torian a complete makeover!"

Cold scissors severed my golden locks, the soft strands falling to the ground like the

remnants of my princess days.

Jasper, with a skill that made me suspect he had experience shearing alpacas, deftly

trimmed my hair into Torian's sharp, short style. He incessantly reminded me,

"Remember, your gaze must be firm, your steps strong, and don't show any

weakness in front of unfamiliar Alphas!"

I listened impassively.

When I donned Torian's training uniform, brimming with his intense Alpha aura, I

nearly felt suffocated.

The scent of prime Alpha-pine and cold steel-stirred restlessness in my wolf spirit.

Karen handed me a bottle filled with a strong herbal-smelling liquid.

"A special Concealment Agent," he explained softly, worry evident in his tone. "It

can temporarily mask your scent, but its effects are limited, and it shouldn't be

used too frequently."

I took the potion and drank it in a single gulp. A fiery sensation immediately burned

in my throat.

A stranger stared back at me from the mirror. A pale face, defiant eyes, and short

hair clumsily cropped to a ridiculous length. Apart from the sapphire eyes identical

to Torian's, there was almost no trace of Aurelia left.

"From now on, you are Torian Vance." My father Linus's voice came from behind me, carrying a barely perceptible tremor.

"Go. Seek the truth, and... return safely."

The carriage awaited silently in the light morning mist.

I-no, "Torian Vance"-under the escort of Karen and Jasper, embarked on an

uncertain journey to Wolfden Academy.

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.
