Kane’s POV

The moon hangs low in the sky, casting a pale glow over the packhouse. I should be sleeping, but rest has eluded me for weeks. My thoughts are a tangled mess, circling around ruling the packs and handing my Luna who never fails to remind me of how I still let Avery to control my heart even though she is gone

But no matter how much I try to push Avery from my mind, she lingers like a ghost, haunting my every waking moment. Her defiant gaze. The way my wolf still aches for her despite everything.

I exhale sharply, dragging a hand through my hair as I step toward my office window. The forest stretches before me, silent and still, but something about the night feels off. The unease that has been clawing at my chest lately refuses to fade.

A sharp knock echoes against my door.

I turn just as my Beta, Liam, strides in, his expression grim. The tension in his shoulders is unmistakable.

My muscles coil. I know that look.

Across the room, Sophia, my chosen Luna, is speaking with a visiting Alpha. Her laughter is soft, too sweet, her hand lingering on the man’s arm for just a second too long.It’s supposed to be harmless, a diplomatic show of hospitality. But something about it irks me. It seemed like she was deliberately doing everything to get my attention.My wolf growls low in my mind, restless and on edge. I shove the irritation down, forcing myself to look away. This isn’t what should be consuming my thoughts. I have bigger problems.The attack.The message."A pup for a pup."The words have been gnawing at me all day. A threat, a warning… or something more?I take a deep breath, pushing back my chair. The visiting Alpha turns toward me, expecting me to rejoin the conversation, but I lift a hand."Enjoy the feast," I say, my voice even. "I have matters to handle, but I’l

    Avery’s POV I had fallen asleep in the living room after putting my son to sleep and cleaning the house. But the sound of shattering glass suddenly rips me from sleep. For a split second, I think I imagined it. The room is silent except for the rapid pounding of my heart. My breath is uneven, my body frozen as I try to distinguish between dream and reality. But then, a gust of cold air brushes against my skin, unnatural and sharp. And I know. Something is wrong. My son I sprang up, my bare feet hitting the floor with a loud thud. The sound barely registers in my ears as I sprint down the hall, my pulse hammering louder than my footsteps. The hallway has never felt this long. Every second drags. By the time I reach the bedroom door, my hands are trembling so badly that I nearly rip it off its hinges. And then I see it. The window........ wide open. The night air rushes in, making the curtains snap and billow wildly like ghosts in the dim moonlight. The glass sh

My son is out there, taken, and every second wasted could be the difference between saving him and losing him forever.I push forward, ignoring the throbbing ache in my legs and the burning in my lungs. I managed to find a driver in the next town, a rogue willing to take me close to Kane’s territory for a ridiculous amount of money. But I don’t care. I would give up every penny I have if it meant getting Jace back.By the time I reach the border of Kane’s pack lands, the sun has barely started to rise. My heart pounds against my ribs as I step forward, breath hitching at the sight of two warriors blocking my path.“Turn around.” One of them commands, his sharp gaze raking over me. “Outsiders aren’t allowed past this point.”“I—” My voice is raw from exhaustion, but I force myself to stand taller. “

It felt unreal.Kane stood behind his desk, a mix of shock and disbelief flashing in his golden eyes. For a fleeting moment, I think I see something else, recognition, longing, something unspoken. But before I can hold on to it, another figure steps forward.Sophia.She moves with deliberate elegance, placing herself between us like a barrier, her gaze sharp and full of hate.“How dare you come in front of Kane after everything you’ve done?” Her voice drips with venom, her posture rigid with contempt. “You embarrassed and rejected him. You refused to be his mate. And now, you crawl back, asking for help?”I clench my fists, forcing my voice to remain steady. “They took my son.”Silence.Then, a scoff.Sophia crosses her arms, ti

    Avery's POV The whispers caame like the wind, soft, but impossible to ignore. Everywhere I walked, they trailed behind me like shadows, brushing against my ears. “Did you hear?” “The Alpha has cast Selene out.” "She begged.” "He showed no mercy.” “She was with another.” The rumors spread faster than wildfire. And I kept my head high. I didn’t flinch. I didn’t speak. I didn’t feed the flames. I had no need to. Dignity had become my armor. Silence, my sharpest weapon. I had spent too many years defending myself, biting back pain with grace. This time, I let the world talk while I simply walked through it. Selene, the name that once held weight in this pack, once dripped with entitlement and venom, was gone. Disgraced. Stripped of every illusion of power she once paraded in front of me. The same women who used to

Selene Her sharp, clipped tone lanced through the silence like a blade. “You clumsy little thing!” she snapped, voice shrill and soaked in entitlement. “Do you even know what this is worth? Or is your brain too small to understand luxury?” I turned the corner just in time to see the young servant girl flinch, eyes wide and terrified, tea dripping down her wrists and onto the marble floor. Selene loomed over her like a wolf over a rabbit, proud and cruel, forgetting her place entirely. I stepped in before I realized I was moving. “You will treat her with respect,” I said, voice low and cold. I didn’t shout. I didn’t need to. Selena turned, mouth already open to defend herself, probably with some pathetic reminder of who she once wa

    Avery's POVI woke wrapped in Kane’s arms, his heartbeat a steady rhythm against my back. It was a feeling I hadn't known in years, warmth without fear, closeness without control. For a long time, I just lay there, eyes closed, letting the silence between us speak. Not the silence of estrangement, but something softer. Restful. Healing.He murmured something in his sleep, his fingers twitching slightly as if reaching for me even in his dreams. A smalll smile tugged at my lips, but I knew I couldn’t stay here all morning. I needed a moment. To breathe. To think. To remember who I was outside of him, tooI carefully slipped from his grasp, easing off the bed so as not to wake him. He shifted slightly but didn’t stir.My feet carried me to the my room. The moment I stepped inside, the air felt different, still scented faintly with lavender from an old satchel tucked into a drawer, and the cool morning light poured through the window like a familiar f

    Kane's POVThe night was quiet, the kind of quiet that settled deep into your bones. The sky stretched above with stars scattered like forgotten wishes. I sat on the porch steps, elbows resting on my knees, fingers tangled together as I stared at the horizon. The cool wind carried the scent of lavender and pine, and for the first time in a long time, I let myself feel still.The door behind me creaked, soft and hesitant.I didn’t turned around.But I knew it was herAvery.Her presence was like a ripple,gentle, but impossible to ignore. She stepped closer, the wooden porch boards groaning beneath her weight until she lowered herself beside me. Her shoulder brushed mine. Light, barely there. But enough.Enough to remind me I wasn’t alone.We sat in silence, our breaths syncing with the rhythm of the night. I didn’t want to scare her off with words. She hadn’t been this close in weeks, this close. And I would’ve s

    Avery's POVI couldn’t look away from themFrom the moment Kane learned he was a father, something in him shifted. It wasn’t dramatic, there was no grand declaration or overwhelming display of emotion after that first, raw encounter. No, the change was quieter. Deeper. Like the slow turn of the earth beneath your feet, steady, inevitable.The Alpha I had known, ruthless, calculated, commanding, was gone. In his place stood a man with paint-streaked jeans, tangled hair, and a voice several notes higher than necessary while reading stories about dragons, moon bears, and magical wolves who saved the day.He’d never held a toddler before that day in the nursery, but now he carried our son with a confidence that didn’t come from experience, itt came from love.Kane took to fatherhood with a kind of wide eyed eagerness that almost made me laugh. Almost. Because sometimes it hurt to watch, like something in my chest didn’t quite know what to do with

    Kane's POV I wasn’t expecting her to reach for me that day Not tonight. Not after the way she’s kept her distance, like she’s been building invisible walls around herself just to survive being under the same roof as me. But then, in the silence of the corridor, she turned to me. Her hand found mine, not firm, not certain, but deliberate. I froze, afraid even a a breath would make her retreat She didn’t say a word. Just led me forward, past portraits on the walls. Her fingers trembled slightly, her pace cautious. I followed her, heart thudding like a war drum in my chest, unsure of what this meant, until she stopped in front of a door. Sky blue. Small. Innocent. The kind of door that had no place in the life I used to live. "I hand painted the door myself after we arrived" She said, then she hesitated for half a heartbeat, then pushed it open. My breath l

Each morning, I wake in a room that used to feel like a prison. Now, it just feels.... quiet.Not safe. Not yet.But its not dangerous either.In the days that followed, I noticed something had changed. Not in Kane, he’s already change, hopefully, but in the air around us. The silence that once screamed now hums with something else. Something hesitant. Unspoken.I start to notice the little things.He sets out a second plate at every meal, never asking if I’ll join but always hoping I will. He adjusts the thermostat back to the exact warmth I always liked, the one that made me feel held without being touched. He doesn’t knock on my door. Doesn’t ask for talks. Doesn’t ask for anything, really. He just…. shows up.When I do come down to eat, he doesn’t stare or smile or try to fill the silence.

Now, I wonder if it only reminds her of what I destroyed.Avery kneels beside the blossoms, her fingers brushing the petals like they’re more fragile than she feels. She hasn’t spoken to me more than a few words since she returned. She walks with purpose, keeps her distance, and when she looks at me, it’s like I’m a stranger standing in the ruins of the life she once tried to build.But I can’t keep letting her run. I won’t.“Don’t run from me anymore, Avery.” My voice is low, steady. No Alpha command. No anger. Just truth.She stiffens but doesn’t look up.

Just the quiet rustle of the wind and the heavy breath of a pack unsure how to process what they’d witnessedKane stood beside me, barely able to stay upright. His arm was bandaged, his face bruised and bloodied. Yet there was a gleam in his eye, a victorious gleam. One that reminded me of the old Kane. The ruthless one. The conqueror who always took what he wanted no matter what.He reached for me, his fingers brushing my arm. “You’re mine again,” he whispered, not as a question, but as a declaration.And I nodded.What else could I do?The fight had been issued. The outcome determined. The pack had no more words to say.I was his again, claimed by blood, by dominance, by the archaic laws we still obeyed.But as his hand wrapped around mine, something inside me twisted. It should’ve been relief. It should’ve been … something. A reunion.
