Liora’s POV*Days later*Derek was doing much better now and was finally ready to resume work.I swung my bag over my shoulder and joined everyone at the dining table.“Mummy!” Aurora called excitedly as she ran toward me, dressed in her school uniform.I bent down and lifted her into my arms.“Good morning,” she greeted with a bright smile.“Morning, Rora, darling,” I murmured, playfully pressing my forehead against hers.She giggled.“Liora, come join us,” Derek’s mother called.I forced a smile before walking over. I placed Aurora on her chair and took my seat beside her.“So, I’ll be leaving soon,” Derek’s mother announced.Oh, thank goddess.Her gaze shifted toward Aurora before settling on me.“But I hope you all won’t miss me too much.”Not even a little.I forced another smile.“Also, I heard Starlight will be having a meeting with Madison Enterprise in two days. It’s a very important meeting. Your mother doesn’t take her dealings with them lightly,” she continued.I know that

Liora's POV“Are you sure about what you're saying?” Derek's mother asked, still looking at me in disbelief.I nodded, unable to hide the smile spreading across my face as a tear slipped down my cheek.Without another word, she turned and hurried toward the ICU doors. My mother and Jade followed closely behind her.Before I could take another step, Aurora came running toward me.“Mummy!”I quickly bent down and lifted her into my arms, holding her tightly against my chest.“I want to see Daddy,” she whispered, her lower lip trembling as tears gathered in her eyes.I gently rubbed her back, trying to soothe her.“Daddy is resting right now, sweetheart. He'll wake up and see you soon.”Rora, darling… you had no idea what was happening. You were too young to understand how close we'd come to losing your father.A few minutes later, the ICU doors opened, and Derek's mother stepped out first. Her entire expression had changed; the worry in her eyes had been replaced with relief.“You were

Liora's POVThe ICU doors slid open, and Derek's mother and I stepped inside.Derek lay motionless on the hospital bed, his eyes peacefully shut.A clear oxygen cannula rested beneath his nose, while an IV line disappeared into the back of his hand.His left arm was wrapped in thick white bandages and secured in a sling to prevent movement. One of his legs was heavily bandaged as well, slightly elevated on a pillow.Machines surrounded him, their monitors flashing numbers and steady rhythms.Seeing him like this shattered me.A sob escaped before I could stop it."Derek..."His name broke apart on my lips.Beside me, his mother covered her mouth as silent tears streamed down her face."My baby..."Her trembling whisper barely reached my ears.She slowly walked to his bedside and gently brushed a few strands of hair away from his forehead."When you were little," she whispered softly, "you always hated hospitals. The moment you smelled medicine, you'd start crying."A fragile smile app

Liora's POVTears rolled down my cheeks as I sat in the hospital lobby.Derek... please come back to me.I clasped my hands tightly together. "Liora."At the sound of my mum's voice, I turned and saw her walking toward me with Jade.I rushed into her arms and hugged her tightly."It's okay... it's okay," Mum whispered repeatedly as she rubbed my back.She gently guided me back to the waiting area, and we sat down, my head resting against her shoulder.A moment later, a nurse stepped out, and I quickly shot to my feet."How's he?" I asked.But she didn't answer. Instead, she hurried away."Calm down, Liora," Mum said, holding my hand."How can I be calm..." My voice softened painfully. "When Derek is in there?"She gently stroked my hair."His mother will be here soon," she said.I looked up at her, my eyes widening.Just then, Aurora's tiny voice rang out."Mummy!"I turned and saw her struggling to keep up with Derek's mother. The moment she was let down, Aurora ran straight toward

Liora's POVMy heart pounded against my ribs as I rose to my feet.The moment the call ended, I immediately forwarded the recording I'd secretly captured to Jade.Please... let us not be too late.With trembling fingers, I opened the location-tracking app Derek and I had installed on each other's phones months ago.The loading icon spun, then a blinking blue dot appeared.Relief and terror collided inside me."I found him."My voice shook as I turned toward the bodyguards."We're leaving. Now."Neither of them wasted a second. They fell into step behind me as we rushed out of the house.The car sped through the streets, weaving between traffic while I kept my eyes glued to the moving location on my phone.The blue dot continued shifting; he was still moving.Please... stay alive.I quickly dialed Jade as she answered almost instantly. "Ma'am.""Send the recording to the police immediately. I want officers surrounding us, track our location. Use the recording as evidence. No delays.""

Derek's POVJust then, a waiter walked toward me."Can I get your order, sir?" he asked, forcing a smile.Before I could answer, my eyes landed on a man sitting alone with several expensive liquor bottles scattered across his table. He smoked a cigar leisurely, his gaze never leaving me.Why was he staring at me like that?"Sir?" the waiter called, pulling my attention back.I looked at him."I know I've seen you before, though I can't remember where." His smile remained, but his voice dropped so low I almost missed it. "You need to run. They're after you."They're here already?My eyes widened as I looked back at the stranger.He was still watching me as a slow smirk spread across his lips.He's definitely one of them.The waiter straightened up, raising his voice again as if nothing had happened."Alright, sir. I'll get your order right away."Then he walked off.My hands trembled as I pulled out my phone and quickly typed:[Liora, Lorenzo and his gang are after us. I don't even kno

Lisa’s POVMy eyes fluttered open, and I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up, my gaze sweeping and across the room.This wasn't Cassian's room.How did I get here?I pushed myself to my feet, still looking around in confusion. Just then, a knock sounded on the door.“Who's there?” I asked.The door creaked open, and a lady stepped inside. She was dressed in the same uniform as the other servants.“Alpha Dominic requests your presence in the hall.”Now?Nyra's voice stirred. ‘Is there a problem?’My brows furrowed. “Did he say why?”The maid shook her head. “No.”What could this be about? Why would Alpha Dominic suddenly summon me?“What about Alpha Cassian?” I asked.“He stepped out to get something,” she replied.Cassian... Why did you have to step out at a time like this?I exhaled deeply and forced a small smile.“Let's go, then.”I followed the maid through the corridors until we reached the main hall. She opened the door and stepped a

Cassian’s POV“Cassian,” Lisa scolded.I couldn't hold back my laughter at the seriousness etched across her face.Before I could tease her further, the door began to creak open.“Put me down,” she repeated urgently.Lisa, you have nothing to worry about. Not when it comes to my father.“Please,” she begged, tightening her jaw as she struggled to get down from my arms.Knowing she wouldn't stop protesting, I gently lowered her onto her feet.The door opened wider, revealing my father standing inside.I and Lisa walked in.“Cassian!” he called.The moment he saw me, he hurried toward me and pulled me into a tight embrace.Lisa stood a short distance away, watching us with a forced smile.Father eventually released me and held me by the shoulders, studying me from head to toe.“I was worried sick about you.”“I told you there was nothing to worry about,” I muttered.Then I turned toward Lisa. “Father, this is Lisa.”His attention shifted to her.“Greetings, Alpha,” Lisa said respectfull

Lisa’s POV“Come with me,” Cassian said, extending his hand toward me. “You’re too hurt to walk.”Before I could respond, he bent slightly, preparing to let me climb onto his back.What is wrong with you, Cassian?Nyra immediately responded. ‘He’s only trying to help you’Help me?“No, don’t even think about it,” I countered.“Hop on.” He said.“No, don’t you know this will only make things worse? Your pack will think I’m stressing you out,” I explained.Cassian stood upright again, his eyes studying me carefully.“I’ll let you walk if you can do it without feeling any pain.”I nodded repeatedly. “I’m not feeling any pain. I’m completely fine.” The lie slipped out far too quickly.“Fine,” he said.He took my hand, and we began walking.I bit down on the inside of my cheek as another sharp pain shot through my ribs.“Where are we going?” I asked, swallowing the pain.Cassian suddenly stopped and turned to me. “Are you tired already?”Yes I am, asshole.Nyra giggled. ‘Then put your pri

Lisa’s POV“Do you mind fighting now, or…”“Now,” I cut in, my voice sharp.Cassian raised a brow, clearly stunned by my answer.But I just nodded.“Please step out to the training field,” Elder Magnus said.I turned and began walking.Cassian quickly caught up with me and took my hand. The moment we stepped outside, I could feel the eyes of the pack members following us.The training field was already crowded.Everyone wanted to see the Bloodfang woman who had dared to challenge one of Silver Moon’s warriors.“Be careful, Lisa,” Cassian muttered.I smiled faintly before walking toward the center of the field.Damon stood several feet away, stretching his shoulders.Nyra growled. ‘I don’t like him’You don’t like anyone who looks at us like that.‘Because they usually deserve it’I almost laughed.Cassian stood at the edge of the field with several senior warriors.His eyes met mine and he simply nodded. A silent reminder; you can do this.Damon stepped forward.“Before we begin, I wa

Lisa’s POV*The next morning*I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection.My fingers moved to the silver crescent-moon pendant around my neck.It rested against my chest, the symbol of Silver Moon gleaming beneath the morning light.I took a deep breath.Today was the day… I was going to Silver Moon.Nyra stirred. ‘Are you nervous?’Who wouldn’t be?‘Good’I frowned.How is that good?‘Because it means you care but don’t let your fear control you.’I exhaled slowly.Then Jade’s memory hit me. A small smile touched my lips.“I wish she were here today to see this freedom… to see Lucien on his knees… to see that Kael was actually Alpha Cassian.”Nyra immediately teased me. ‘And to see that you almost made the worst mistake of your life by rejecting Cassian’I shook my head.Don’t remind me.Just then, a knock sounded on the door.Before I could answer, the door opened and Cassian stepped inside.His gaze immediately settled on me.“What?” I asked, confused by the way he w

Lisa’s POVI remained in Cassian’s arms, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.After a while, I slowly pulled away and wiped the tears from my cheeks.Cassian looked down at me, a small smile playing on his lips.“What?” I asked.“Nothing.”“Then why are you staring at me?”“Because I’m still trying to believe you actually said you love me.”I rolled my eyes. “You’re annoying.”He chuckled. “You’ve always thought that.”“And I was right.”His smile widened.For a moment, we simply stared at each other.Nyra giggled. ‘I’m glad this is finally happening’I lowered my gaze. “Cassian…”“Yes?”“What happens now?”His expression grew serious. “What do you mean?”“I mean…” I hesitated. “Your pack.”He immediately understood.“Silver Moon.”I nodded. “What are they going to think when they see me?”Cassian remained silent for a moment.I continued before he could answer.“They know who I am, don’t they? They know I’m from Bloodfang. They know what Lucien did. What if they think I’m
