Mira POVAfter the trip that Tuesday night, Klaus drove me back to my dorm himself.The whole ride back, my chest felt tight with fear.I kept thinking about Stone’s dead body.About the blood.About the look on Klaus’s face after he killed him.And most of all…About what Alpha Dean was going to do when he found out.The car stopped in front of my dorm building, but neither of us moved right away.Klaus kept one hand on the steering wheel while the other rested on my thigh, rubbing slow circles there like he knew I was nervous.“You’re thinking too much again,” he said softly.I looked at him quickly.“How can I not think about it? You killed your father’s second in command.”His jaw tightened slightly.“I know.”“You could get into serious trouble.”He turned fully toward me then.The look in his eyes almost broke me.“Mira,” he said quietly, “if I had to do it again to protect you, I would.”My throat tightened.He reached over and tucked my hair behind my ear gently.“Don’t worry

Klaus PovLinda rushed forward instantly, planting herself in front of me with both arms stretched wide to block my path.“What are you trying to do?” she hissed, panic flashing in her eyes. “If you touch him, you’re rebelling against your father!”Behind her, Stone smirked like he’d already won.“You should listen to your fiancée,” he drawled lazily. “She’s right. Going against me means going against your father.” His grip around Mira tightened possessively, making her flinch. “And trust me… there are consequences for that.”His eyes locked onto mine, cold and mocking.“So tell me, Klaus,” he said softly, “are you really about to defy the Alpha because of this broke little omega?”Something inside me snapped.One second, I was standing still, barely holding the rage together.The next—I shoved Linda out of my way and lunged at him.The sand exploded under my feet as I moved.I grabbed for his throat so fast the others barely reacted. My claws were already out, ready to rip his neck

Klaus PovI knew there was going to be serious trouble the exact second I heard the heavy, chopping sound of the helicopter blades. The deep roar shook the entire beach house, making the windows vibrate and my wolf go on high alert.I walked outside onto the grass, squinting as the massive black chopper came down from the sky. The wind from the blades was blasting fiercely, bending the grass flat and kicking up clouds of dust.As I watched it descend to the ground, only one burning question kept bothering me: How the hell did he know I was here?I made sure this trip stayed private.Only the people here knew about it. None of my friends would tell my father anything.Which meant only one thing.He had somebody watching me.I scoffed bitterly to myself.Typical.My father never trusted me. Not fully. Even after the pack voted me as the next Alpha, he still watched me like I was some reckless child waiting to fail.But the thing bothering me most was Mira.I already knew this had someth

Mira POV Klaus and I took our seats slowly, but the strange tension around the table did not disappear.It only got worse.The maids began setting down breakfast plates in front of us, and honestly, the food looked so good it almost distracted me from everybody’s bad mood.There were stacks of warm pancakes dripping with maple syrup and butter. Crispy bacon. Fried eggs with melted cheese. Fresh strawberries and grapes arranged in crystal bowls. Toasted bread with jam. Sausages sizzling from the heat. Fresh orange juice, iced coffee, and hot chocolate filled the table with sweet smells.Normally Chloe would already be screaming over the food.Normally Ugo would be stealing sausages from everyone’s plate.Normally Tina and Tae-jun would already be fighting.But this morning?Silence.Cold, painful silence.“Welcome back, Romeo and Juliet,” Aaron said suddenly, trying to lighten the mood. He smiled warmly at Klaus and me. “Nice of you two to finally bless us with your presence.”Ugo sno

Mira povThe first thing I felt before I even opened my eyes were soft kisses brushing against my neck and shoulder.Then another on my arm.And another.I smiled sleepily, still half asleep, while strong warm arms pulled me tighter against a hard chest.When I finally opened my eyes, Klaus was already staring at me like I was the best thing he had ever seen in his life.His ash eyes softened immediately.“Good morning, baby,” he said softly, smiling at me.My heart melted right there.“Good morning,” I whispered back.I lifted my hand slowly and traced my fingers across his face. His jaw. His lips. His messy morning hair.God.How was one person this beautiful?“How did you sleep?” he asked quietly.“I slept well.”Before I could say anything else, he leaned down and kissed my lips gently.Then my nose.Then my neck again.I burst out giggling immediately. “Klaus, stop. It tickles.”“No,” he mumbled against my skin.And the man actually kept going.Kiss after kiss after kiss.Like he

Tae-jun POVTina slowly tilted her head, a wicked smile spreading across her lips.Then her eyes found mine.And held.Too long.Way too long.She knows I’m here.She knows I’m watching.I sighed deeply.Just as I thought.This whole thing was exactly what she wanted.But I had already made up my mind before this game even started.I wasn’t going to play her little game tonight.“Alright,” she said softly, her voice sweet as honey and twice as poisonous.She began walking toward me slowly before stopping right in front of where I sat. Then, without asking, she grabbed the shot sitting on the table beside me and swallowed it in one go.The whole group screamed loudly.“OH SHIT!” Ugo shouted, already laughing like a maniac.I just stared at her with my face twisted up in annoyance, making it clear I was not in the mood for whatever nonsense she was planning.Tina noticed too.And the evil woman smiled.Then suddenly she turned away from me and pointed straight at Aaron.“I pick you.”“W
