Elena Pov The word hung there—Syndicate—like a curse.My throat felt tight. I didn’t say anything. Couldn’t. The stranger’s voice still echoed in my ears, but all I could see was Alessandro lying pale and unmoving by the riverbank, his chest rising only slightly, like the air itself hesitated before entering his lungs.Back to that place?The place that haunted his nightmares, that twisted his voice into something hollow and sharp every time he spoke of it?Everything inside me screamed no.But there was no time to scream. No time to beg for another option. The whir of helicopters still lingered in the distance—closer, angrier. If I hesitated now, I’d lose him.“Let’s go,” I said, the words catching in my throat.The stranger didn’t smile. He just nodded once and turned back into the forest.I bent down, my arms trembling, and gathered Alessandro against me. His skin was cold against mine. My body felt like it had been shattered into pieces—but I moved anyway. I moved because I had t

Elena Pov The helicopter’s roar cuts through the canopy above us, a violent sound that sends my heart racing. My first instinct is to hide—to get off the open ground and into cover. But the trees are no longer enough. The sound is closer, the engine low and vibrating the air. I look to the stranger, watching as he stiffens, curses under his breath. The look on his face shifts—utterly focused, eyes narrowing like a predator’s. His grip on his weapons tightens."We’ve been found," he mutters.My stomach drops like a rock.The forest around me feels like it’s closing in. We’ve only just made it this far, and now they’re here. I can’t lose Alessandro now. I won’t. The fear that gnaws at me is insatiable, but there’s no time for panic. Not yet. Not until we’re safe. But with every second that passes, I can feel the threat getting closer—coming for us."Go!" the stranger barks, his voice snapping through my frenzied thoughts. “We don’t have time! They’ve got thermal vision—we need cover!”

Elena povThe figure in the cave entrance looms like a specter, cloaked in darkness. My heart stops, my breath catching in my throat. His voice cuts through the silence, commanding and chilling. “Come with me—if you want him to live.” The words reverberate in my mind, each one a jagged shard of fear, and I can’t move, can’t think. My eyes flick between him and Alessandro, who’s slumped against the cave wall. The weight of the moment is suffocating. My instincts scream at me to run, but where? My only choice is to decide—quickly—if I’m going to trust him, or if this is the trap I’ve been fearing.He doesn’t move, doesn’t even flinch as I stare at him, but his presence fills the entire space. It's overwhelming, suffocating, like the air itself has thickened. His eyes bore into me, but I can’t read him. The seconds stretch, dragging with the weight of everything hanging in the balance. Save Alessandro. But trust this man? My body is frozen between fear and desperation. I can’t afford t

The air in the cave felt thick with tension, each breath Elena took a struggle against the weight of fear pressing on her chest. But it was the voice—her name, whispered through the trees—that was the true torment. It was familiar, a sound that should have been comforting. But instead, it rattled through her bones like a cold wind.“Elena…”Her heart stuttered in her chest. The voice was unmistakable, too clear to be mistaken. But it wasn’t a voice that should be calling her.“Elena…” The sound slithered through the darkened forest, soft and echoing, growing closer with each passing second.The breath caught in her throat as she tightened her grip on Alessandro’s hand. His fingers felt cold beneath hers, the warmth of life slipping away with every second. She couldn’t let fear paralyze her, not now, not when they were so close to safety.But she was terrified. Terrified of the voice—terrified of what it meant. It was the kind of fear that held her in place, immobilizing her, as if ans

Elena Pov The forest is still.Still in that terrifying way—where silence feels too complete, too deliberate. Every leaf is holding its breath. Even the wind seems to hesitate.I crouch low beside Alessandro, his body slumped against the thick roots of a gnarled tree. His breath is shallow, ragged—each exhale a whisper against my ear. My hand trembles as I press against his chest, checking for warmth, for movement. He’s alive, but barely.Then I hear it.That voice.Calm. Icy. Controlled."Run all you want. We always find you."It’s not a threat. It’s a promise.My heart slams against my ribs like a trapped animal, and for a brief moment, I can’t breathe. I glance through the foliage. Nothing. Just darkness. Trees. Shadows that could be anything. Or anyone.But I feel it. We’re surrounded.I grip the dagger tighter in my hand and turn to Alessandro. “We have to move,” I whisper, though I know it’s a miracle he’s still conscious. His lips part, but no words come. Just a groan. Pain, f

Elena povI hold my breath, the sound of the footsteps above the bunker reverberating through my entire body. The silence that follows feels heavier than anything I’ve ever known. Every muscle in me is tense, aching from exhaustion, but my mind is sharp. The knife in my hand is cold, and my fingers tremble against the handle. Stay calm, I tell myself.I press my ear to the floor of the bunker, straining to hear through the thick wood. Every second feels like an eternity. I wish I could see what’s happening above us—wish I could know who’s there. But I can’t. All I know is that they’ve found us. I hear the faint sound of something moving—a shift in the air, a shadow crossing the cracks in the ceiling. It’s not the hunter.My stomach drops. Shadow Blades. The very people I’ve feared for days now. They’ve come for us, and this time, there’s no running.I try to steady my breathing. The muffled sounds of their footsteps are precise, measured. Cold. They know what they’re doing. These are

Kate pov"Yes, sir," Michael placed a call across to the restaurant manager and commanded him to evacuate everyone from the restaurant as it was Roberto’s command. In a swift, an announcement was passed and everyone was immediately asked to evacuate the restaurant.Some people had not eaten half of their food, some had just started, no one knew why they were being evacuated and some were even murmuring at such an uncultured act.Drake and I also had to leave. I soon returned back to my seat. I could neither continue my conversation with Drake nor me continue eating. Overall, I liked Drake’s vibe. His jokes were reasonable, and he looked like a perfect gentleman.Once we closed at work, Drake walked over to me with a sad face and said, "I have been fired."I furrowed my brow and stood. "What! Fired? How? What did you do?""I don't know. I tried asking the bosses but they all kept shunning me. No one will even say a word," Drake said.I thought hard about why he could have been fired an

Kate PovRoberto sat beside the bed I was on and was watching me; he had been beside me for the past two hours. He already had his personal assistant, Jack, investigate who shot me. He would have suspected Lucas, but Lucas was already in prison.He received a call on his phone and, seeing that the caller ID was Jack, he answered at once, "Have you found out who the person is?""No, sir. I'm outside with the drugs that Mrs. Katw is to use," Jack said, and Roberto stood at once and went to get the drugs from him.By the time he returned to the room, I was already awake. He went to sit beside me and asked, "How do you feel?"I remembered that the last thing I knew was that a heavy and harmful object had penetrated my shoulder. I adjusted to a sitting position and asked, "How did I get here?""You were shot in the shoulder," Roberto said immediately, making me furrow my brow in shock."Do you have a fight with anyone?" he asked."Not at all," I answered and suddenly winced in pain as I fe

Kate pov I squinted my eyes and eventually shut them. I felt sorrowful at the fact that he may never love me. It’s been six years, yet he still wasn’t ready to give love a chance. People who cheat on us sometimes do not know that they are not only breaking our hearts but damaging them.I turned and walked into my room, thinking hard about the possibility of Cleon falling in love with me. Even though I knew that if a time came when he finally fell in love with me, then that would be nothing short of a miracle.The following day, Roberto walked into the executive hall with our three sons. Everyone had thought in the past that the most powerful man in Slivercrest was infertile. Now, it was time to prove to the world how fertile the most powerful man in Slivercrest truly was.Jason, Nathan, and Liam were all dressed in black tailored suits and black shoes just like their father. As they stepped into the hall, a lot of newscasters and journalists took photos of Roberto and his three sons.

Roberto Pov I was just about to light my cigarette when I raised my gaze up at her as soon as she said those words. "What did you say?" I paused what I was about to do and seriously concentrated on her. "The children are yours. I wasn't sleeping with random men at the club. I only had a one-night stand with you 'cause I was terribly heartbroken," Kate said. Unlike her previous words that I found hard to believe, I seemed to believe this. I stood to my feet and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" "Yes, I found out I was pregnant two weeks after we had sex," she said. "I was hiding it from you because I was scared that you would take them from me. But I would rather let their father take them from me than let a stupid jerk and cheat take them from me," she said. I smiled. Happiness spread across my heart, and I quickly prayed in my heart that this wouldn't be a dream. I held her left arm and asked, "Are you really telling the truth?" "Yes, you can perform a DNA test to prove it,

Roberto PovI didn’t say a word while we were inside the car, and that even made Kate more nervous. She kept glancing at me. She was sure I was definitely angry, but the fact that I wasn’t saying anything made her worried.A couple of minutes later, the fleet of cars came to a halt, and the doors were immediately opened on both sides. I stepped out through one side while Kate stepped out through the other. It was only after she stepped out that she realized we were at the mansion.Why were we here? She wondered and immediately followed me as we both walked inside the house. I walked straight to my mother Cora's room while Kate followed. She saw Cora on the bed with all sorts of medical gadgets connected to her.“Mother,” she walked quickly to her.Once Cora sighted her, she forced out a smile. Her sickness had suddenly gotten worse, and now she wasn’t even sure if she would live the nine months that the doctor had predicted. The pain was getting more intense day by day, and yesterday

Roberto povThe court day was today and here I was, seated majestically with my personal assistant and three of my executive assistants. My head of security was also seated close by Kate was seated just in front of me while Lucas sat alone on the row beside ours.Lucas's lawyer was the first to speak. After defending Lucas, he presented the invalid divorce papers that Kate had signed — but, of course, there was no signature from Lucas.This jerk didn’t sign it even after six years! Kate mumbled angrily.Lucas's lawyer then began to talk about why the six children were his. The kids were in a separate courtroom at the moment. They had no real idea what was going on, but I knew they were nervous — they had a bit of knowledge about what court meant.The lawyer went on and presented a DNA test result claiming to prove the children were Lucas's.Kate stood and shouted, “What! That’s not true. That result is forged.” She was certain of it.“Order!” the judge barked and took the DNA result.

Selina’s POV Just as I heard Kieran pass the judgment, I crashed to the ground. Looking at the stake which has two soldiers already standing with a torch. Fear overwhelmed me. “Kieran you can't do this to me,” I cried out. I tried to reach Kieran on the throne where he was seated but the grip of the soldiers was so firm. “Kieran, you can't do this to me. I'm your chosen mate!” I cried out. My knees buckled beneath me as my body burnt red hot. “Lilith is not who she seems to be. Please. Listen to me,” I flared. “What are you waiting for?!” Lilith shrieked. “Take her to the stake! Now!” She commanded harshly. And I struggled with the soldiers who showed no mercy in lifting off the ground.I watched Lilith smile mischievously. On her face was excitement untold. As her hand patted Kieran's head. Quickly I was bound with ropes that could not be broken and without wasting much time. The stake was set on fire. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I smelt my flesh roasting from beneath

Selina’s POV I wasn't even given a chance to explain myself. Kieran has never done that. Why was everyone blind to whatever I was saying? Why can't they see beyond–I mean even the Alpha is lost. The chains on my hand rattled as I tried so hard to peep through the iron gate. “Hello!” I called out. “Can anybody hear me?” I heard nothing except the echoes of my voice coming back to me the way I had spoken it. My knees cringed as I imagined what my fate would be in the morning. Memories of how Kieran had looked at me like a murderer flooded my mind. In a moment of weakness, I broke down in tears. Why can't everyone see Lilith for who she really is? Why am I always the one to take the downfall? “Moon goddess, please help me,” I crashed to the floor. The chains on my hands were the only thing that could be heard. This place reeks of death and hell. Even though it's dark, I could still seek dry bones of some prisoners who had gone before. “Hello

Selina’s POV I didn’t sleep that night. How could I? The letters burned in my mind, the words seared into my memory like a cruel brand. Everything is in place. The Shadowborn has been freed. Lilith had betrayed Kieran. She had betrayed all of us. And I was the only one who knew. I paced my room, my hands clenched into fists. I had two choices—confront Kieran and risk him not believing me, or gather undeniable proof. Only one of those options wouldn’t end with me thrown into the dungeons. I had to be smart. I had to be careful. But more than anything… I had to bring her down. The next morning, I forced myself to act normal. If Lilith even suspected I was plotting against her, she would strike first. And I couldn’t afford to let that happen. I needed more information. I needed someone who knew things. And that meant finding Edwin. Sneaking out of the packhouse wasn’t easy, but I had years of practice moving through the shadows. By the time I reached

Selina’s POV The weight of Kieran’s words still echoed in my head. Find the traitor, Selina. It wasn’t a challenge. It wasn’t permission. It was a test. And I intended to pass. The warriors wouldn’t accept me overnight, but I didn’t need their approval. I needed results. If I wanted to prove that I belonged in this fight, I had to be two steps ahead. The first step? Tracking the Shadowborn’s escape route. If someone helped the intruder escape the pack’s territory, then they had to leave a trail. And I was going to find it. Dorian met me at the northern border, where the rogue had last been seen. He had called for two warriors to join us—Talon and Reed, both experienced trackers. I wasn’t sure if they were here to help me or babysit me. “The last known sighting was here,” Dorian said, kneeling beside the clawed-up dirt. “But we lost the scent trail.” I scanned the area, my heart pounding. The dense forest surrounding Blood Moon’s territory stretched endlessly, and th

Selina’s POV The night air clung to my skin like a second layer, thick with tension and the lingering scent of blood. I stormed away from Kieran, my heart pounding violently against my ribs, my throat raw from our argument. I had spent years loving him. Years waiting for him. And tonight, I finally understood—waiting had been my biggest mistake. Kieran had chosen her, again and again. And I had let him. Not anymore. Ignoring the burning in my ribs from my recent wounds, I pushed through the doors of the warriors' barracks. The room fell silent. Conversations halted, weapons stilled, and every gaze turned to me. A few warriors exchanged glances. Some smirked, clearly amused. Selina Blackwood doesn’t belong here. I wasn’t a warrior. I wasn’t a high-ranking pack member. I wasn’t even Kieran’s mate anymore. But I had something none of them did. A reason to fight. I walked straight to Dorian, who stood hunched over a wooden table covered in maps and patrol schedules. He

Selina’s POV Pain was a familiar companion. It throbbed in my side, sharp and insistent, but it wasn’t just the physical wound that hurt. It was the way Kieran had looked past me as if I didn’t exist. As if I hadn’t nearly died trying to save the woman he had chosen over me. I clenched my fists, forcing myself to stand despite the dizziness. Blood soaked through the fabric of my dress, but I refused to show weakness. Not here. Not now. Not in front of them. Lilith whimpered softly in Kieran’s arms, her fingers clutching his shirt as she whispered, “I was so scared…” Kieran’s jaw tightened, his grip on her tightening protectively. “I’ve got you,” he murmured. A hollow laugh threatened to escape my throat. Where was that protectiveness when it had been me? The warriors were still gathered, murmuring among themselves about the attack, but no one paid attention to me. No one ever did. I was still bleeding. Still standing in a puddle of my own blood. And yet, all that
