The next day, Atlas showed up at Bridget’s office early in the morning, carrying a paper bag that smelled unmistakably like warm bread and roasted meat. He set it down on the corner of her desk, eyes already scanning her face overprotectively, the way he always did lately.

“I’ll eat it,” Bridget said without looking up. “Just leave it there.”

“I know you will.” Atlas leaned against the desk. “But since you’ve decided to bury yourself in work again, I wanted to make sure you’re actually eating. Regularly.”

Her hands paused mid-air, a stack of Pack's archived reports hovering between shelf and desk. Slowly, she turned to face him. Gratitude welled in Bridget's chest.

So many things in her life felt as though they were slipping out of her grasp lately, but Atlas was still here. Still watching over her. Still caring far more than she ever deserved.

She exhaled softly.

“Did you bring me breakfast too just so it wouldn’t be so obvious that you bought one for Velmara?” she asked lightly. “A

    GABRIELShe’s gone.Bridget is gone, and with her, every chance I had to explain myself. My fists crashed into the punching bag again and again. I lost count of how many blows I landed. The rough fabric burned my skin; pain flared up my arms as my knuckles split open, warm blood slicking my hands. Somewhere beneath the rage, I felt something snap—bonds strained too far, maybe cracked—but I didn’t stop.I deserved it.I was furious at myself. At my weakness. In life, I seemed incapable of fixing.“At least don’t punish that stuff as it owes you money.”The voice broke through my haze.“It’s new,” the man continued mildly. “Arrived barely a month ago. My warriors haven’t even had the chance to break it yet.”I turned sharply.Alpha Darius stood at the edge of the training grounds. Kevin lingered beside him, hands clasped behind his back, wearing the familiar sheepish grin I was beginning to loathe.“Alpha Darius,” I said, forcing myself to straighten. I dipped my head in a short nod.M

    For as long as she could remember, Odette had harbored jealousy toward Bridget. One she couldn't voice because everyone knew they were friends. Even within their inner circle, she had always acted as though nothing dark festered beneath the surface.Bridget was the only woman in the Ashwood Pack whose status and beauty could rival her own. So when Odette overheard everyone mocking Bridget's appearance earlier, she had felt so damn happy.“Do you remember how Bridget always bragged about her looks?" Odette said lightly. “As if beauty alone could fix everything. I never liked that. And I know you didn’t either, Gabe.”She could speak freely now. They were both exiles. Neither of them belonged to Frederick’s Pack anymore.Gabe’s expression didn’t soften. “Enough,” he said coldly.Odette tilted her head. “Why won’t you just let it go? You know her, and she and her aren’t friends anymore."“With you, maybe,” he replied. “But Bridget will always be the same to me.”The words struck deeper

    Gabe could hear the faint grind of Kevin’s teeth, the sound sharp with barely restrained anger.For a heartbeat, Gabe went blank.Then the shame hit him. Hot and suffocating. Crawling beneath his skin until he couldn’t breathe.Unforgivable was the only word everyone would use for what he had done. And they would be right.“Rosa,” Gabe said suddenly. “She can help. She can remove the scar from Bridget’s face.”He took a breath, straightened, then turned to face Kevin fully. His expression was so desperate in a way he could no longer hide.“Rosa-"“One of this pack’s witches,” Gabe cut in. “Alpha Darius said she’s gifted. He trusts her. She even helped my wolf recover perfectly. If anyone can do it, it’s her.”“Of course I know who Rosa is, but that’s not what I’m asking.” He glanced at the bed before turning back to Gabe, eyes sharp with curiosity now. “Why do you want to help her? You know her name. Is she your friend? And what exactly happened to her? Who gave a woman like that such

    “Brie…” Gabe’s voice dropped to a whisper as her knees buckled.He caught Bridget just in time, her weight collapsing into his arms before she could hit the floor. For a terrifying second, he thought she might already be gone—but her breathing was steady, soft against his chest. Relief loosened the tight knot in his lungs.Gabe shifted his grip, adjusting her carefully until she rested more comfortably against him. Her head lolled against his shoulder, strands of pale hair brushing his jaw. He swallowed.'What the hell am I doing?'If she woke up like this, in his arms, she would be furious. She had every right to be. Yet his feet kept moving, carrying her away from Alpha Darius' mansion and toward the small house he’d been staying in since he remained in Moonveil Pack.He needed her to listen. Just once.'I’ll tell her everything,' he promised himself grimly. 'About the potion Odette gave me. About how it stripped away my control, turned me feral, turned me into the bastard who hurt

    3rd Person's POVThe memories came without mercy, crashing into Bridget one after another, leaving her no room to breathe. The handsome face before her blurred, dissolved, and was replaced by that moment she had tried so desperately to forget. She saw it all again as if through a spectator’s eyes, watching herself relive the worst moment of her life.'Please don’t hurt me. Please.'She had begged him then, a pitiful whimper that escaped from her wolf.Bridget had always known her wolf was strong. But against him, she had been nothing more than a trembling pup—cornered against a fallen trunk while a massive, rabid predator loomed over her.Her fur had already been soaked in blood, her muzzle smeared crimson. She could still see the deep bite marks carved into the side of her snout, feel the tearing pain as if it were happening all over again. And still, he hadn’t stopped. That evening he hadn’t been the man she knew, but a monster driven by something feral and merciless, thirsting to
