Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY FIVEZara’s POV The arrow still shook in the altar stone. Its silver head caught the light and burned my eyes.No one moved.The rogues froze where they stood. Marcus stood tall again, his body bloody, his claws dripping red. Nicholas’s smile slipped a little, his eyes darting to the trees.Then they came.Shadows at first. Then shapes. Men and women in gray coats, sliding out of the forest like ghosts. Their steps made no sound. They held silver bows, knives, spears, all shining like death. Their faces were hidden by masks, cold and empty.Hunters.My whole body went cold.Marcus growled deep, a sound that rolled like thunder in his chest. “What are they doing here?”The rogue leader spat blood into the dirt, grinning through broken teeth. “The gods want blood today, Alpha. Yours.”The hunters spread wide, moving like a net, circling us in. Me, Marcus, Nicholas, and the rogues we were all caught.One of them stepped forward. He was tall, mask cut sharp, voice flat like steel.“Step away

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY FOURZara’s POVMy heart stopped. My blood turned cold. He said it. The rogue leader said it. He knew me. He saw me. The thing I feared most stepped out of the dark and spoke out loud.Marcus growled so deep it made the ground under me shake. His arm came in front of me, strong, hard, like a wall. He was ready to fight. But I could feel his heart racing. He was shocked. He wanted answers.Nicholas stood there, only a few steps away. His mouth curved like a devil. His eyes scanned between me and Marcus, like he enjoyed cutting us open. “Runaway?” he said. His voice was harsh. “Now that is… interesting.”“Shut your mouth,” Marcus snapped. His body shook with anger. But his hand gripped me like a feather, like if he let go, I’d vanish like a smoke.The rogues moved closer, forming a circle. Their eyes glowed, so many of them, watching like wolves ready to bite. The leader walked forward. His face was cruel.“You thought you could hide, little wolf?” His voice was loud. “Pretend to be clean? P

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY THREEZara’s POVMarcus’s words would not leave me. “You’re already losing me.”I pressed my hands to my ears like a child, but it didn’t matter. His voice kept on ringing in my head.the way his hand had almost touched me but pulled back at the last second.The bed felt too big, too hot without him. My body ached from crying. The secret inside me burned like fire. If I told him, I might lose him forever. If I stayed quiet, Nicholas would destroy us.I couldn’t tell which was worse.The door opened. My head shot up.Marcus.He filled the doorway, his broad shoulders filling the door. His eyes were shadowed, like he hadn’t slept all night either.“Get dressed,” he said. His voice was calm.I was so scared. “Where are we going?”His gaze locked on mine. “Somewhere you can’t run from me.”The ride felt endless. Marcus didn’t say a single word. His hands gripped the wheel so tight. His jaw was clenched.I leaned my head against the window, staring at the trees. My palms were damp. My wolf whined

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY TWOZara’s POVMarcus’s words would not leave me.“Tomorrow, you and I will speak. And you will tell me everything.”I had lied before. Dodged his questions. Smiled when I wanted to scream. But tomorrow… Tomorrow I will have no place to hide.If I told him the truth, I would lose him.If I lied again, he might tear it out of me himself.There was no way to win.I didn’t sleep. I stared at the ceiling until my eyes burned. My body shook all night.By morning, I felt empty. My legs were weak, my head heavy. Around me, the pack carried on warriors in the yard, servants rushing past but I barely noticed.All I saw was him.Marcus.He stood at the end of the hall, tall, dark, unshakable. His eyes locked on me.“Come,” he said.I followed. My hands were wet with sweat. My knees almost gave way. He led me into a quiet chamber in the west wing. No one else could hear us there.The door closed. The air turned heavy.Marcus faced me, arms crossed, jaw set like stone.“No excuses,” he said. “Today y

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY ONEZara’s POVMarcus’s words wouldn’t leave me.“You may think you can hide. But I will find the truth. Whether you tell me or not.”He hadn’t shouted. He hadn’t even raised his voice. That calm, steady tone was worse than anger.Because he meant it.I hugged myself, staring at the moon outside my window. My heart twisted. I had worked so hard to keep my secret safe. But every day, with every question and every sharp look, Marcus was breaking through it.He was pulling me apart piece by piece. And when he finally reached the truth…I shut my eyes, shaking. It wouldn’t just ruin me. It would destroy him too.A knock snapped me back. My chest tightened. I already knew who it was.Nicholas.I hesitated, then cracked the door open.“What do you want?” I whispered.He leaned against the frame, smirking. His cold eyes moved over me like he could read my thoughts.“Such a warm welcome,” he said. “Restless tonight?”“Go away.”He laughed softly. “Why would I? Watching you squirm is too much fun.

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTYMarcus’s POVI didn’t sleep that night.Her silence haunted me.Zara had always been fiery, stubborn, quick to fight back when challenged. But in that library, with the record laid bare between us, she had been silent. Not defiant. Not apologetic. Just silent.And silence was the loudest answer of all.I paced the length of my chambers, the firelight casting restless shadows against the stone walls. My wolf pressed beneath my skin, snarling, restless, desperate to tear away the mask she wore and demand the truth.But I held him back.Not yet.Zara wasn’t a stranger to me, every instinct screamed that she was mine. My mate. My bond. The only one who had ever steadied the storm inside me.And yet…The lies were there. I could taste them in the way her scent shifted when I pressed too close, in the way her pulse stuttered when my questions cut too near.She was hiding something.And if I ripped it out of her too soon, I feared I would destroy not only her but us.Dawn came, gray and cold

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEAria Bennett PovA gasp escaped my lips when I heard what my so-called mother just said. I refused to believe that she would do this to me."What ?" Ethan shouted, making Mason jump from his seat."Calm down", I hissed at him gesturing to my son "you're scaring him"I was surprised when he looked and his features softened visibly. He seemed to have taken a liking to Mason and I didn't think that was such a good idea. Not wanting Mason to hear more about my disastrous life I nudged Talia who was awfully silent and motioned to Mason."Could you take him out please?", I asked "I don't want him to hear this.She smiled sadly at me as she knew that things were just getting started."Sure"I pulled Mason to me, hugging him quickly. Pulling away I pushed him towards Talia."I'll see you in a bit Mas"He smiled a toothy grin at me "okay mommy"I watched as they left the room then I turned back around to face the two other persons in the room. There was complete silence for what felt like the

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURETHAN CARTER POVShe's here.She's here.“What the fuck is she doing here?” I whispered to myself When Vivian told me that there was someone I just had to meet. I became very curious which resulted in me coming over here.Vivian and I aren't friends we never were and never will be. She never treated Aria like a daughter and even though Aria tried to hide it everyone knew how her mother treated her.They were never close either so to see her here now it's truly something."Aria", I sighed a little happy to see her.It's been over four years and I still miss seeing her everyday."Ethan", she snapped.I didn't flinch, I didn't break eye contact, I just stared at her. The longer I stared at her the more I realized that she had changed. She didn't look away from me as if she's daring me to do the same."Okay......that's enough"I turned to the voice to find that Harper, Aria’s best friend was standing there and glaring at me."I'm tired, hungry and my phone is about to die", she hissed lo

Chapter: CHAPTER THREEThe clouds drifted past the window as the plane dipped inside, the skyline of the city slowly unfolding beneath us. My stomach knot, not from the landing but from everything that waited for me down there.Yesterday felt like a movie. After leaving with Mason, I found myself back at the house, relieved to see my mother wasn’t around. I don’t think I would have had the strength to face her questions or her judgment. Mason had fallen asleep in the car, his small head tilted against my shoulder as I carried him upstairs. I tucked him into his bed carefully, making sure he was comfortable, smoothing the blanket over his tiny body. He didn’t stir not even once.I stood in his doorway for a moment longer than I should have, just watching him breathe. My little boy was always my anchor, even when the rest of the world felt like it was falling apart.Then I forced myself into motion. I dragged two suitcases out of Mason’s walk-in closet and started packing his things clothes, shoes, his favori

Chapter: CHAPTER TWOAria Bennett – POVThe silence between us stretched for what felt like forever. We sat across from each other in my living room, sipping the wine I had opened earlier, while she talked on about everything that had changed back home.New businesses opening. People getting married. Scandals in the neighborhood. Gossip I hadn’t asked for and didn’t care to know.I nodded now and then, but the truth? I wasn’t listening. Not even a little. Every word she said only grated on my nerves, reminding me that this so-called “bonding” was happening here, in my home. Not in hers. Not in the place I once called home.And honestly? That was fine with me. Because I had no desire, no reason, no strength to ever step foot back there again. That town was nothing but poison for me.The memories slammed into me before I could stop them. Memories of the day everything shattered.The day Ethan looked me dead in the eyes and accused me of being unfaithful. The day he called me a slut like I was trash, like I

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE“Mummy!”“Mummy!”“Mummy!”A Little hands shook me as a small voice filled the quiet of the room.“Wake up! Wake up! It’s my first day of school!”My eyes flew open at his words.I blinked several times, rubbing the sleep from my eyes before glancing down at the little boy grinning at me. Mason stood at the side of the bed, his lips curved into a mischievous smile, as if he already knew how to tug me out of dreamland.I couldn’t help but smile back. “Come here, Mas,” I said softly, calling him by the nickname I’d given him the day he was born.He immediately scrambled to climb onto the bed, his small legs kicking with determination. He always tried, even though he never quite managed it on his own. That stubborn grit in him, the same grit that made him refuse help until the last second reminded me so painfully of his father.Swallowing down the lump rising in my throat, I leaned forward, caught his little arms, and pulled him up into my lap.“Are you ready for your first day of school,

Chapter: CHAPTER 155Adrian Hale POVDamien stood by the window, phone still in his hand, the glow of the message reflecting in his eyes.He hadn’t moved for almost a minute.“Say something,” I finally said.He didn’t.Just turned the phone toward me again. You found the letters. Good. Now come find me, Damien. Your mother is waiting.“Where?” I asked.He exhaled shakily. “Coordinates. It’s an abandoned airfield outside the city.”“Of course it is,” I muttered. “Nothing good ever happens in an abandoned airfield.”That made him almost smile. Almost. “You don’t have to come.”“Stop saying that,” I snapped. “We’ve been through enough secrets for a lifetime. If you’re walking into danger, I’m walking with you.”He stared at me for a long second then nodded.We left within the hour.The drive was silent except for the wind.Damien’s hands were tight on the wheel. I could tell his mind was racing.I reached over and touched his wrist. “Hey.”He didn’t look at me.“Whatever happens tonight,” I said softly, “r

Chapter: CHAPTER 154Damien Cross POVThe picture burned into my hands. I couldn't believe my mother. Alive. Standing next to Marcus Voss.I stared at the screen, not blinking, not breathing.She looked older, sharper somehow her hair silver, her smile small but cold.It didn’t make sense. She’d been declared dead years ago. I buried her. I saw her coffin lowered into the ground.But there she was.Alive.With my enemy.My throat went dry.“Damien?”Adrian’s sleepy voice broke through my fog.I quickly turned off the phone and slipped it into my pocket. “Nothing. Go back to sleep.”He frowned, half-awake. “You’re lying.”“I’m not,” I said too fast.He sat up slowly, eyes narrowing. “You only sound like that when you’re hiding something.”“Adrian, please,” I muttered, standing up. “Not tonight.”“Then when?” he said sharply. “When it’s too late again?”I froze. His words cut deeper than I expected.He stood, crossing his arms. “What is it this time? A new threat? Another secret from your past?”I sighed.

Chapter: CHAPTER 153Damien Cross PovThe hospital smelled like antiseptic, Machines beeped. Curtains swayed. People whispered.Adrian sat by his father’s bed, holding his hand so tightly his knuckles were white. His eyes were red, but calm. I stood by the door, unsure if I belonged there.Then he looked up. “You can come closer, you know.”I stepped in. “How’s he doing?”“The doctor said he’ll recover,” he said, voice low. “He lost a lot of blood, but… he’s strong.”“Good,” I said, and meant it.He looked at me for a while. “You could’ve died last night.”“So could you.”“You keep saying that like it’s supposed to make me feel better.”“It’s not,” I said softly. “But I’d still do it again.”He tried to smile, failed, and looked away. “You’re impossible.”“Only with you.”He was about to reply when a rough voice cut through the quiet.“You two argue too much.”Adrian froze, then spun around. “Dad?”His father’s eyes were half-open, his lips cracked, but he was awake.“Sit down,” he muttered. “I’m not dea

I didn’t even know what I was looking for. Just something. Anything.Footsteps behind me.“Couldn’t sleep?”I turned. Damien stood there, hair a mess, shirt half-open.“Didn’t mean to wake you,” I said quietly.“You didn’t,” he said, walking over. “I’ve been awake since you left the bed.”“You could’ve fooled me.”He looked at the laptop. “You’re digging again?”“Josh doesn’t send threats for fun. I want to know what he’s planning.”“Let me handle it.”“Damien ”He placed a hand on my shoulder. “Adrian, please. He’s dangerous.”“So are you,” I shot back. “And I’m

Chapter: CHPATER 151Damien Cross POVThe house was too quiet. I sat on the couch with a glass of whiskey I didn’t even want. Half the bottle was gone. I hadn’t slept. Couldn’t.My arm still throbbed from the wound, but that wasn’t what kept me awake. It was the silence. The waiting.Mia said Adrian went to his father’s old office. Why, she didn’t know. But the moment she told me, my gut twisted.And then, finally the front door opened.I turned fast. My chest tightened.“Adrian.”He stood there in the doorway, pale and tired. His eyes found mine, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe.“Hey,” he said quietly.“You came back.”“I said I would.”“You shouldn’t have gone alone.”“I needed to.”“I could’ve gone with you.”He gave a weak smile. “You would’ve tried to stop me.”“Damn right I would.”He walked closer, slow, almost hesitant. “You’re drinking again.”I looked at the glass. “Trying to stop thinking.”“Does it help?”“Not really.”“Then stop.”I sighed and set it down. “Done.”Silence fell ag

Silence again.I sat beside him. “You scared me, you idiot.”His lips twitched. “You’re the one who jumped in front of a gun.”“You moved first.”“Old habits.”I sighed. “Bad habits.”He opened one eye, a small smile appearing. “You didn’t leave.”“I thought about it.”“Yeah?”“Yeah,” I said quietly. “But then I remembered how much I hate hospitals. And how much I hate seeing you in one.”He chuckled softly. “Touché.”I crossed my arms. “You’re impossible.”“I’ve heard that before.”“From me.”He smiled wider, then winced as the movement pulled at his arm.“Don’t move,” I scolded. “You’re hurt.”“Barely.”“Still hurt.”He sighed. “
