Chapter: 49. Kael arrivesDraven's POV I returned empty-handed, looking quite frustrated. My car had vanished without a trace—no signs of struggle, no broken glass, nothing. Just gone.Someone was deliberately screwing with us.I broke through the trees, already calling out to her. "Elara, I couldn't find—"I froze.She was on the ground, crumpled like a discarded doll. My heart lurched violently in my chest."Elara!" I rushed to her side, dropping to my knees. "What happened? Did someone attack you? Talk to me!"She didn't respond. Her face had gone completely pale, drained of all color. She just kept pointing weakly at something on the ground, her hand trembling violently."What is it? What are you—"Then I saw something written right there with something that smelled like blood and was definitely blood:WE'RE WATCHINGWhy the hell was Rowan doing all these?I grabbed her immediately, hauling her up into my arms. "We're leaving. Now.""Draven, what does it mean? Who's watching us?" Her voice came out really

Chapter: 47.Elara's POV The word "no" shot out of me before I could even think twice, and both of them stared at me with such identical expressions of surprise that I almost laughed despite myself."Ashamed of us?" Kael asked, his icy blue eyes not leaving my face. There was no anger in it, just a look of wondering. "Or are you still in love with Rowan?""No." I shook my head quickly. "It's not like that at all.""Then what is it?" Draven leaned forward, resting his chin in his palm, watching me with those grey eyes that had a way of making me feel like he could see straight through whatever I was trying to construct. "Because you pulled away the moment Kael walked into that restroom. You've been doing that. You have a problem with people seeing us together."I opened my mouth, closed it, and stared down at my hands in my lap. How do I even begin to explain this without it sounding as complicated as it actually was?"My father saw the picture," I said finally. "The one of Draven kissing me. He w

Chapter: 46. EscapingElara's POV "Stay with you?" I repeated, my voice wavering slightly.The idea was both terrifying and tempting. Being around them constantly, in their space, where I'd be surrounded by their scent and their presence was something I would very much love. Staying with Clara meant putting her in danger. Rowan had already shown up at her doorstep once, banging on the door like a lunatic. What if he came back? What if there was no security around to stop him?What if he hurt Clara because of me?The thought made my stomach churn with guilt and fear."I don't want to be a burden," I said quietly."You're not a burden," Draven said firmly. "You're our mate. Taking care of you isn't a burden. It's our responsibility. Our privilege.""it's not something that should be debated," Kael added, "Rowan won't be able to get anywhere near you without us knowing. You'll be safe."I thought about it for a moment longer, weighing my options. Staying with Clara meant constantly looking over my shoulder,

Chapter: 45. Anything for AlphaKael's POVI pressed down harder on the accelerator, weaving through traffic like the world depended on it. My jaw was tight, my knuckles white against the steering wheel."Slow down before you kill us," Draven muttered beside me, but his voice lacked its usual bite. He was staring out the window, his jaw clenched just as tight as mine."We need to get there now," I said through gritted teeth."We will. But not if we crash on the way."I wanted to argue, but he was right. I forced myself to ease up, just slightly, even though every instinct in me screamed to go faster."Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," I muttered. "How could this happen?"Draven didn't respond. He just kept staring ahead, his fingers drumming against his thigh.By the time we pulled up to the company, my heart was pounding. Smoke poured from the upper floors, thick and dark, billowing into the sky. People were streaming out of the building, coughing and stumbling."Fuck," Draven breathed.We were out of the car before it even

Chapter: 45. The culpritElara's POV"There's no one out there."Kael's voice was calm, reassuring, but I saw the tension in his shoulders as he walked back inside. His jaw was tight, his eyes scanning the room like he expected someone to jump out from the shadows."Are you sure?" I asked, my voice small.He pulled me into his arms, his hand stroking my hair."I'm sure. You're safe."But I wasn't convinced. The way he held me felt protective, almost desperate.Draven appeared behind him, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Maybe you're just exhausted," he said. "It's been a long day."I wanted to argue, to tell them I knew what I saw. But the way they both looked at me, like they needed me to believe them, made me swallow my words. "Okay," I whispered.Kael kissed my forehead. "Let's get you to bed."I nodded, letting them guide me upstairs.But sleep didn't come easy. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the shadow outside the window. Watching me.******Training the next morning was brutal.Draven pushed me harder

Chapter: 44. A suspectElara's POV The door locked with a definitive click that made my stomach drop. I turned back to face Rowan, trying to keep my breathing steady.He stepped closer, his nostrils flaring as he inhaled deeply. His face twisted in disgust."You reek of them," he spat, his eyes darkening. "Those Lycan bastards. Their scent is all over you."I didn't respond. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction."You belong to me, Elara. Me. Not them." He took another step forward. "How dare you let them touch what's mine?""I'm not yours anymore."He laughed, the sound cold and bitter. "You'll always be mine. Even when I shared myself with others, you were still mine. But you?" He shook his head. "You're nothing but a slut. A filthy, ungrateful slut."The word hit me, but I refused to let it show on my face."Sign the divorce papers, Rowan. This is over.""Over?" He smiled, that same twisted smile that used to make my heart flutter. Now it just made my skin crawl. "Oh, sweetheart. We're just getting start
