登入Brian’s POV Cold, sterilized air filled the entire room. I lay on the soft bed in the Blackwood Pack medical center, an IV needle still taped to my arm. Clear fluid dripped down the tube, slow and steady, slipping into my veins one cool drop at a time. My body felt hollowed out, every breath tugg
Ashley’s POV “Brian…” Hebert said the name like it didn’t quite fit in his mouth, “he took part in the rescue. And he got hurt doing it. I’ve already sent someone to bring him back to the Blackwood Pack.” “Brian?” I jerked upright in his arms, stunned. “Him? How could he…?” It made zero sense. B
My mind went completely blank, like every drop of blood in my body had rushed straight to my head all at once. He was right outside the door. The guy who’d been talking to me on the phone literally a minute ago was standing outside my room now. I scrambled off the bed—hands, knees, whatever worke
He definitely didn’t need to check with me—an Omega—about it. “You… you’re asking me?” I asked, unsure I’d heard right. “Of course.” His answer came without hesitation. “You’re the one they hurt, so you have the right to decide how this ends. And you’re also the lead on this project. Whatever happ

Cecilia’s POV I was the one who ordered the fire to be set. To keep the people inside from running, I’d even told them to use those custom chains—the kind normal tools or normal werewolves couldn’t break. But nothing could stop a top‑tier Alpha. When I heard Hebert had rushed into the flames, I
Ashley’s POV The moment that massive wolf hurled me onto the scorched ground, it felt like the last bit of air was crushed right out of my lungs. When I finally dragged in a breath, the fresh air sliced down my throat like a shard of ice, making me cough so hard my chest felt like it was tearing op
The air in the banquet hall was sweet with that soft floral scent we’d spent weeks adjusting. Less than forty‑eight hours before the big Omega banquet kicked off. I glanced down at the long parchment checklist in my hand one last time, making sure every tiny detail had been handled exactly the way I
Cecilia’s POV I never thought Hebert would actually throw me out. God, I honestly thought he was just losing his temper and saying things he didn't mean. “Hebert, you’ve got to be kidding me, right?” I pushed on, voice tight. “I’ve poured so much of myself into the Bloodmoon Pack!
