"No one is born as a villain, but sometimes one doesn’t have a choice." The words didn’t come from Reuben this time.

They formed quietly in Jackson’s mind as he sat there, looking at him… truly looking at him for the first time.

Not as a traitor or not as someone to blame but as someone who had survived things no one should ever have to endure.

Jackson’s chest felt heavy, his gaze softened as it rested on Reuben, who sat there with his shoulders slightly slumped, as if the weight of everything

    Marcus hadn’t realized how much he had been missing the quiet and the warmth of her. The moment he stepped inside the room, everything else seemed to fade. The tension of the pack, the endless responsibilities, the weight of leadership, all of it loosened its grip on him the second his eyes found Edwina. She stood near the window, the soft moonlight falling over her, making her look almost unreal, like something fragile that the world had no right to touch. For a moment, Marcus didn’t move. He just stood there, watching her, taking her in as if he needed to remind himself that she was still here… still waiting for him and that realization alone made something tighten painfully in his chest. He remembers the days when they were carefree, they had responsibilities but they still had time for each other and their love was upon all other things, but now with the danger looming over their pack, he was feeling an unknown fear in his chest. He doesn't want to lose his family. He doesn't w

    "No one is born as a villain, but sometimes one doesn’t have a choice." The words didn’t come from Reuben this time.They formed quietly in Jackson’s mind as he sat there, looking at him… truly looking at him for the first time.Not as a traitor or not as someone to blame but as someone who had survived things no one should ever have to endure.Jackson’s chest felt heavy, his gaze softened as it rested on Reuben, who sat there with his shoulders slightly slumped, as if the weight of everything he had carried for years had finally caught up to him.Reuben wasn’t looking at him now, his eyes were lowered, distant, as he had already said too much… like he was bracing himself for rejection, judgment, and for the same hatred he had always expected.Jackson exhaled slowly feeling Reuben's cold empty hands, he never thought he would feel guilty. Jackson hadn’t moved far after hearing it all nor had Reuben taken his hands out of Jackson's grasp. Jackson’s gaze lingered on him, searching, not

    Reuben didn’t speak immediately after that.The silence stretched between them, but this time it wasn’t heavy with anger… it was filled with something else. Something quieter. Something fragile.He exhaled slowly, his gaze lowering for a moment as if gathering what little strength he had left.“When Marcus woke up…” he began, his voice softer now, but not weak. Just tired. “When he came out of that coma…”A faint breath escaped him, almost like disbelief.“I thought… that was it. That everything would finally be okay.”Jackson didn’t move, but his eyes stayed fixed on him.Reuben’s lips pressed together briefly before he continued.“I thought we had survived the worst of it. That we could rebuild again… properly this time.”His fingers curled slightly against his palm.“And I was ready,” he added quietly. “Ready to tell you everything.”Jackson’s brows pulled together slightly.“About the bond,” Reuben said, lifting his gaze again. “About what you were to me.”The words settled betwee

    Reuben stood still for a moment but his strength was fading he took a deep breath and sat on one of the sofas. The air between them was not as tense as before, as something had shifted in Jackson stare. His anger almost vanished there, and Reuben could see sympathy and warmth in his eyes, but it was mixed with something else… a deep emotion, and it was care. Jackson took a few steps towards him and sat beside him, he didn’t touch him, his chest rose and fell slowly, his eyes still locked on Reuben as if he was trying to see through him, trying to decide whether any of this was real or just another lie. “And then?" Jackson said again, quieter this time with a soft tone. Reuben nodded once, as if he had already accepted that there was no turning back now. His hands clapped together, his fingers curling slightly as he grounded himself. His voice, when he spoke, carried weight, not rushed, not defensive, just honest. “I knew the moment I saw you,” He said. “Not because of the bond, bu

    Reuben didn’t move when Jackson grabbed his collar. The fabric of his shirt tightened under Jackson’s grip, his knuckles turning white with the force, but Reuben stood still, his eyes locked onto Jackson’s. There was no resistance in him, no attempt to break free, as if he had already accepted whatever would come next. Jackson’s breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling sharply as anger and confusion twisted inside him, but beneath all of it… there was something else. He didn’t want to acknowledge it when he looked into Reuben’s eyes. He didn’t just see guilt. He saw deep pain, it was raw and now unhidden. “Talk,” Jackson said finally, his voice low but demanding. “You wanted me to listen… so tell me, I would listen to you." Reuben held his gaze for a second longer, as if searching for something in his eyes then slowly he reached up and removed Jackson’s hand from his collar. He didn't do it forcefully or aggressively, it was just… firmly. Jackson didn’t stop him but he

    Reuben’s cabin. Jackson was standing right in front of his door. He didn't know why he had come here, but he couldn't stop himself. He was with patrol guards, and they left for their duty. And he came to Reuben's door.The bond had not let him rest for two nights; he couldn't sleep properly. The bond had pulled at him again and again, growing stronger with every passing hour, until ignoring it became impossible. But this was not why he was here.At least, that’s what he kept telling himself. This wasn’t about the bond. This was about answers and about truth, about the past that refused to stay buried.Jackson stopped and thought for a second before knocking on the door, he gulped and knocked, his gaze fixed on the wooden door. For a moment, there was no sound, the air around him felt heavy, thick with tension, like something was about to break.The two guards behind him exchanged a brief glance behind him but remained silent. Jackson motioned them to go away, then bowed their heads

    Jackson's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Isabey was the reason for it all. She was behind the destruction of his pack. But his body was shaking not because she betrayed the pack. But because Marcus knew it. He was aware of Isabey's true identity. He knew she was working for someone. She was pr
