Samantha's POV My memory went blank at first when Thorne asked me for my name, but the moment he stepped forward, fixed his stormy gray eyes on me and asked me 'who the hell are you?'Suddenly, the memories clawed at me, suffocating me. So I just snapped, “Why did you care?“ “What?“ He blinked, clearly not expecting that. Like what I had just said was an abomination. He looked at me—really looked at me. As if trying to see past my skin, past the blood and bruises, into whatever monster he imagined I might be.I knew he was an Alpha. The tension in the room practically revealed it. But who cares about that? He was tall. Broad shoulders with a fine jawline and stormy gray eyes that could cut through steel. But I was already broken, so there was nothing left to intimidate anymore.“Is this how you talk to someone who saved your life?“ He asked, his voice tight with barely restrained anger.I met his glare head on. “Did I ask you to save me?“ I fired back.Then my hand dropped to my

Thorne's POV“Did you make sure every one of them is dead?” I asked, my voice cutting through the silent night air like a blade.Silas, my Beta nodded. “Yes, Alpha Thorne. We made sure to clear them all. Not a single rogue is left breathing.”As much I wanted to believe him, I couldn't. I needed to cross check myself. So I started walking towards the forest.I’ve learned—never take anyone’s word as truth. In my world, I don't get to sleep with my both eyes closed.Not after I had witnessed betrayal firsthand as a small boy of six. The memory never fades. My father, Alpha Ronin, once hailed as the fiercest and wisest Alpha in the NightWalker lineage, knelt with a silver dagger buried in his heart. His best friend and Beta stood over him, blood dripping from his blade and from his lies with a triumphant smirk tugging on his lips.I hide behind that pillar in father's chamber and saw everything. I screamed, cried, ran to the Elders. They didn’t believe me. Not even my own mother.They sa

Samantha's POV “What does it say?“ I asked, my voice barely audible. My body was trembling slightly even with the smile on his face and then in one swift moment, the smile vanished replaced by a expression, so dark, so cruel that it sent cold shivers for my spine.The results….. it is negative right?“You must think I'm foolish, right?“ His voice was dangerously calm, worse than when he is growling.“Noo….“ I shook my head, tears forming at the corners of my eyes.Knox took a step forward. I took one backwards. Then he took another step forward, and I took another back, until my back hits the wall and he was just steps away from me.Then his hands reached out, wrapping around my neck and then he gripped me tightly, pinning me and lifting me up against the cold wall.My body grew limp, my eyes went dark, life flashing before my eyes. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. Summoning all the strength inside me, I forced my numb hands up, tapping him slightly.“Kn….ox, pl—ea—se,” I said,

Samantha's POV “Congratulations, Luna. You're three weeks pregnant,” the Pack's doctor said, his voice light with a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.I blinked, stunned. “What did you say?“He handed me the report. “Here.“I snatched the parchment paper from him, my eyes scanning through it and indeed, I was pregnant. I didn't wait. I ran out of the infirmary with the report clutched in my hands. My joy knew no bounds. Finally! After three years of marriage, I have a child to call my own. And hopefully this child would change everything between my husband, Alpha Knox of the Duskwatch Pack and I. I have been mocked by everyone in the Pack for being barren, but now the narrative would change. I would be able to square my shoulders and raise my head after I give birth to an heir.I got to his study, knocked once. Twice.No response.But I could hear his inaudible voice from inside, so I just twisted the knob open and stepped inside.My breath caught at the sight of the s
