Chapter: chapter 23I left venessa at the hospital and walked lonely into the pack building, it was silent, but there’s still the low murmur of voices somewhere on the lower floor, the creak of boards as people move around. I take the stairs two at a time, my boots barely whispering against the worn wood. Kael’s still in the clinic. Vanessa’s probably pacing the corridors trying to figure out how to crawl her way back into his good graces. Which means I have the advantage. I needed to check aria's room. I reached her room door and noticed it isn’t locked. That’s my first mistake, I expected at least a little resistance, some barrier to make me feel like I was breaking into enemy territory. Instead, the handle turns easily, the door swings open, and I’m inside.It smells faintly of her, something clean but warm, like wildflowers left out in the sun. I wrinkle my nose.The room is neat, Bed was still arranged, Desk clear except for a closed journal and a single pen. No stray clothes, no clutter, no sign

Chapter: Chapter 22Kael POVThe stone steps to the keep are slick with blood and soot, and my boots hit them hard enough to echo. Aria’s weight is light in my arms.She’s limp now. Head lolling against my chest, breath shallow.“Stay with me,” I growl under my breath, like I can hold her in this world by force of will alone.The smoke follows me inside, curling around the cold stone hallway. Vanessa and Elena suddenly block the damn doorway like they’ve got nowhere better to be.“Move,” I snap, voice low but sharp enough to cut glass.They didn't, Elena’s arms are crossed, her expression unreadable if you don’t know her, which I do. That flat look is pure venom she’s trying to hide.Vanessa tilts her head, her gaze darting from my face to Aria’s pale one and back again. Her mouth curves into something that might be a smirk if she weren’t so busy pretending to be concerned.“I said—” I take a step forward, my shadow stretching over them. “move.”Elena’s lips twitch like she’s fighting the urge to roll he

Chapter: chapter 21Chapter 21Kael povSmoke claws at my throat, every breath thick with ash. Wolves flash in and out of the haze, enemy and ally blurring together until you have to trust your instincts or die. My claws are slick, my fur heavy with sweat and blood.I keep moving. Always moving.My shoulder burns where a claw tore into it earlier, but I push through it. There’s no room for weakness. Not when the enemy is still pushing toward the heart of the courtyard.I rip through the last wolf in front of me and turn, searching for the next target,when movement at the edge of the chaos catches my eye.Bare feet,loose clothes, hair wild from running. It's Aria.For a second, my mind blanks. It doesn’t make sense. She should be locked in her room, sulking or glaring at me or both, not standing in the middle of the godsdamn battlefield like she’s looking for a fight she doesn’t know how to win.I swear, the blood in my veins goes cold.“What the hell are you doing here?” The words are a growl in my head

Chapter: chapter 20Chapter 20Aria’s POVThe courtyard was chaotic.Not the loud, clumsy kind of chaos you get when a crowd panics. This was the kind that had teeth and claws, the kind that didn’t care if you screamed because it was going to swallow the sound whole anyway.Smoke coiled upward from somewhere near the training pits, curling past the windows like dark fingers trying to pry their way inside. Flames snapped and spat, light dancing over stone walls now smeared with streaks of shadow. Wolves darted through the haze, their growls tearing at the air.And in the middle of it, Kael was gone.One second he’d been there, his wolf ripping through an enemy like they were made of paper, and now… nothing.My fingers were already at the latch before my mind caught up.Don’t!, The voice in my head wasn’t Elena’s this time. It was mine. The reasonable one. The one that knew Kael had told me, in his own way, that I was not someone he fought for. That my existence here was a technicality, a placeholder unti

Chapter: Chapter 19Aria’s POVThe sound of the alarm bells clung to my skin like cold rain.Three short strikes. One long.Even locked in this room, I understood what that signified—danger was near.And Kael…My heart raced, pounding in my throat. I moved away from the window, my fingers gripping the bedframe until my knuckles turned white.Through the gap in the curtains, I had seen him—Kael—shift mid-step, his wolf charging into the courtyard as if the walls themselves couldn’t hold him back.He was quick. Savage. Alive.For now.Something deep within me twisted. I reminded myself it was not my concern, that he had made it clear I was merely a vessel, not someone worth saving, let alone worrying about.But my feet didn’t obey.I flung the door open and stepped into the hallway.The stone floor felt cool against my bare feet, but the air was heavy—sounds rolling through the corridors from the courtyard below. Shouts. Clashing steel. Wolves growling.I moved swiftly, my hair falling forward, trying not

Chapter: Chapter 18Chapter 18Alpha Kael POVThe corridor felt too narrow the moment I stepped out. My chest was tight, air moving through my lungs like glass shards. Every step I took away from her room was supposed to feel like victory, like I’d kept my distance, kept control but It didn’t.I made it halfway down the hall before my wolf shoved against my ribs, claws raking at my insides. Go back. The voice wasn’t words, it was a pull, a demand, a primal snarl that didn’t understand politics or breeding contracts, I ignored it.The double doors at the end of the hallway opened before I touched them. Two of my guards stepped forward, hands to their chests in salute.“Alpha—”“Clear the west wing,” I cut them off, my voice flat.They hesitated. “Is there a threat?”I turned my head slowly, giving them a look that could peel skin. “Do as I say.”They vanished down the hall.I pushed out into the open balcony at the far end of the wing, gripping the stone rail so hard dust crumbled under my fingers. Below,

Chapter: Chapter 15Alina POVThe night after the blow-up with Dante felt like it lasted a year.I’d fallen asleep in my clothes, half-curled on the far edge of the bed, my hand throbbing from gripping that stupid shard of metal. Dante hadn’t said a word after my last scream—just sat there, watching me, like he was waiting for me to run out of fuel. Eventually, I had. I hated that he looked so calm while I felt like my veins were on fire.When morning came, I needed air that didn’t taste like arguments.The shower was too hot, almost scalding, but I stayed under it until my skin flushed pink. Then I pulled my hair into a tight, high ponytail, swiped some lipstick on like war paint, and grabbed my purse. No note for Dante. No breakfast. Not even a glance at him if he was awake.The driver dropped me in front of a luxury boutique whose window displays were practically whispering you don’t belong here. Not that I cared. The glass doors parted with that faint whoosh and the scent of leather, perfume, and ex

Chapter: chapter 14Chapter 14George POVThe second the door shut behind Rosemary, I could finally breathe.Not much, just enough to keep from chewing through the inside of my cheek.Barry was still by the window, staring out like he was trying to burn a hole through the glass. His shoulders were tight, his jaw working like he was grinding down whatever words he wanted to throw at me.I didn’t blame him.Hell, I knew exactly what I’d done the moment I sent that text. The “pregnant” one.The one that made him rush down here like the building was on fire.And yeah… it was dirty.But you try sitting in an office with Rosemary shrieking like a parrot on amphetamines, threatening to “ruin” you in every way imaginable.If I’d told Barry, “Hey, she’s here yelling about money again,” he would’ve texted back “Handle it” and gone back to whatever argument he was having with Camelia.But tell him someone’s claiming they’re pregnant with his kid?You get the man in fifteen minutes flat.I scrubbed my palm over my f

Chapter: chapter 13Barry POVBy the time I pulled into the parking lot, my knuckles had gone pale around the steering wheel. The engine’s growl died, but my pulse didn’t.The moment my foot hit the pavement, I could feel eyes on me.Not the casual “oh, boss is here” kind. This was heavier. The kind of stare people give when they’ve already decided they’re going to whisper the second you pass.The security guard at the door actually froze with his mouth half-open like he wanted to greet me, but I guess his brain decided against it. Smart man.I pushed through the glass doors.The air inside felt… loaded. Like someone had sprayed the scent of gossip through the vents.Staff were everywhere—some pretending to work, others not even bothering. Every face tilted toward me just enough to be obvious.One of the interns—tiny girl with glasses—quickly ducked behind her monitor like I had a sniper rifle instead of a phone in my hand.“Morning,” I said flatly.No one answered. Not even the fake cheerful “good morni

Chapter: chapter 12Chapter 12Barry povThe morning sun cracked through the blinds like it had a vendetta. Sharp rays sliced across the floor, highlighting every damn thing wrong with the space.I stepped out of my room, barefoot, shirtless, and already irritated. My eyes dragged down the corridor, past the crooked photo frame Camelia kept promising to fix, to the living room that looked like a scene from a low-budget apocalypse.Cushions on the floor. A throw blanket tangled in a mess. Empty snack wrappers lounging like they paid rent.What the hell?“Camelia?” I muttered under my breath, my voice laced with confusion more than anger—for now.I moved toward the dining table. No scent of toast. No fried eggs. No coffee.Just a lonely jug of lukewarm water sweating beside a damn plate of sliced apples. Two slices. Like she thought I was some starving hamster.I stared at it like it might rearrange itself into an actual meal. My heart thumped faster than I liked. A joke? Maybe. But I wasn’t laughing.I sn

Chapter: chapter 11Chapter 11Alina povI brought out my sleeveless lace top, dragging the baggy jeans out of the hanger. In the middle of pulling it out, my finger twisted between the fabric and the hook. The pain shot up so fast that I gasped. My face twitched, my eyes widened as the sting hit deep."Damn," I muttered under my breath, rubbing my finger, trying not to cry over something so stupid. I was still snickering at myself when I suddenly felt a hand slip around my waist."You have to be careful next time. Not everything around you reminds you of him," Dante’s voice whispered, his lips barely an inch from my ear. His breath was hot, too hot. I froze for a second, my heart pounding.I closed my eyes, the ache in my hand forgotten. His words hit harder than the pain. Not everything reminds you of him. The betrayal that lived at the back of my mind came storming to the front again. My ex-husband’s lies. My sister’s laughter. Their wedding. Her dress. My empty hands.I snapped. I slapped his hand of

Chapter: chapter 10 Chapter 10Dante povThe night was over and sunlight shone into the room. I turned to the other side of the mattress, tapping it to check on Alina. My fingers met cool fabric, no warmth, no body, just empty space.I blinked, eyes wide open now.Gone?"What are you looking for?"Her voice curled through the room, a familiar silk I could never confuse for anyone else’s. Curtains rasped against the rod as she tugged them aside, letting the sun spill its gold all over the floorboards.She was standing tall, barefoot in one of my shirts again, holding the curtains like the sun belonged to her.I chuckled under my breath."Good morning," she said, not turning."Good morning to you, Alina," I mumbled, voice still half-asleep, half-entrance.She let go of the curtains, releasing the light like a weapon. It spilled over her face, across the ridge of her cheekbones, the arch of her brow, the slight swell of her lips,unsmiling.That’s when I noticed it.She wasn’t just standing there for the mor
