Chapter 42 – The one I can't silence Gabrielle’s POVI didn’t ask for a warm welcome, but I didn’t expect to be treated like I was invisible either.Lucian stood in the corner, arms crossed, eyes cold and unreadable. Not a word. Not a glance. Nothing. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was standing right there when he said all those hurtful words. Not even after I greeted him with a shaky smile and offered him tea with trembling hands.And yet, he acted like I wasn’t even worthy to be saved.Like I wasn’t worthy to breathe the same air with him.Like I hadn’t just survived the worst night of my life.The final slap came when I heard his voice, not to me, but to Giovanni.“You brought her here? Why would you risk everything for someone you know nothing about?”Someone you know nothing about.As if it would have been better if Giovanni had allowed me to die.As if I were some disease Giovanni had dragged in.I gritted my teeth, the words echoing in my head like venom.I dropped

Chapter 41 – Fate's Cruel Twist Gabrielle’s POV It had been hours since we crossed the last checkpoint, but my heart was still beating like I had war drums inside my chest.The woods were quiet.Too quiet.The only sound was the occasional sound of tires over gravel and the tired creaking sound of the car, as Giovanni drove us deeper into nowhere. The forest thickened, trees closing in like guardians protecting secrets.I glanced at him.His knuckles were white on the steering wheel. His shirt was soaked with blood, some of it dried, some still fresh. His jaw was clenched like he hadn’t unclenched it in hours.“You’re hurt,” I said softly.“I’ve had worse.”“But—”He cut me off with a glance. “We’re almost there.”“Where are we?” I asked.“Part of the Silver Claw pack.” He said. Minutes later, we pulled into a small, overgrown clearing. A narrow wooden cabin stood in the middle. It was old and silent. Like a place even the wind didn’t bother visiting anymore.Giovanni shut off the

Chapter 40 – A night that never happened Alpha Rossi’s POV I stopped at the entrance of my villa, the guards straightened instantly. My eyes narrowed on the soldier closest to my car.“You,” I barked. “Anything unusual while we were gone?”He stiffened. “No, Alpha. There was no movement at the gate, and no calls came in either.”“Good.” I signalled for him to come closer, lowering my voice to almost a whisper. “Did my Luna ask for me?”He hesitated and I became uncomfortable.My eyes darkened. “Did she?”“She… she asked once, Alpha. She said she had a strange feeling, but a servant distracted her by letting her know her tea was ready and she went to bed shortly after.”The sleeping drug. It must’ve worked.Still, something crawled under my skin.I don’t like whenever she starts having “feelings.” Whenever she starts saying this, she starts to dig into secrets that are way beyond her. It makes her suspect everything I do and I am not ready to go through the torture of hiding anything

Chapter 39 – Before DawnAlpha Rossi’s POVThe moon had hidden low behind the trees, and the air was thick with blood, sweat, and the stench of failure.I stood at the hospital’s east entrance, reminiscing on all that went wrong. My claws were still half extended, my fangs itching to tear out the throat of the incompetent fool who let her slip through our hands, and I was going to do just that. The moment I stepped back into the hospital, bloodlust coated my tongue hungrily.My claws twitched at my sides, barely restrained.The hallway reeked of antiseptic, fear... and betrayal.She was gone.And someone in this building knew how.Gabrielle didn’t escape on her own. How could she have escaped this hospital without help? She was bound, gagged and pregnant.Which meant someone helped her.And someone was going to die for it.My boots echoed through the hall, each step thunderous and slow. Soldiers parted with their eyes lowered, their hearts pounding loud enough for my wolf to hear.

Chapter 38 – The Road to Freedom Gabrielle’s POV We were barely a mile into the forest when the lights hit us.Headlights from another car.Giovanni cursed and killed the engine, turning sharply into the edge of the forest road. His jaw clenched as the lights grew brighter in the rearview mirror.“Shit. Patrol car.”I looked up from where I lay in the backseat, covered in a worn brown blanket and empty supply bags. My body screamed from exhaustion, my ankles were swollen, my lips chapped, and my stomach twisted with hunger and nausea.“They’re going to stop us.” Giovanni reached behind, covering me properly. “Whatever you hear, just don’t move. Don’t make a sound. You hear me?”I nodded. My chest was tight, and my breath shallow. I peeped a little bit through the tinted glasses and I saw the patrol SUV drive slowly towards us, then stop.I hid immediately, so I wouldn't get caught, but I heard the doors on both sides of the car open, which means it wasn't just one person. “The Car

Chapter 37 – GoneMr Rossi’s POVThe lights flickered back on.I blinked hard, adjusting my eyes to the sudden brightness, the surgical room was now too bright, and Gabrielle was nowhere to be found. “Where the hell is she?” I roared, turning in circles.My heart stopped beating and for a second, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My wolf went into full blown beast mode.The doors were wide open, and her footwear was still beside the operating table.The soldiers looked at one another and froze.One gripped his rifle too tightly, while another took a cautious step back, his eyes looking at the exit like he was calculating how fast he could run before I ripped his throat out.Sweat formed beads on their foreheads, and I could taste the fear in the air.One of them dared to speak, his voice almost like a whisper.“She escaped… during the blackout—”Crash!The nearest tray of surgical tools went flying as I threw it across the hallway.The others looked at him in horror, as i
