MasukJordan’s POVBen’s screams tore me awake. In a second, I was at their door, ripping it off its hinges since Celine had locked it again.The room reeked of death.Celine lay unconscious on the bed, surrounded by a massive pool of blood.“Liar,” I growled, rushing to her. “Celine?” I tapped her face lightly, trying to wake her, but she didn’t move. I inhaled deeply, searching for the source of the blood. I pulled her robe open and found her completely naked, her body wrapped in layers and layers of toilet paper over her right ribs.“Why didn’t you tell me, human?” Rage burned through me.Ben kept screaming, but I couldn’t go to him. I cursed myself for not having my phone and ran to my room to grab it.“Ton, send a medical team to my house immediately. We’ll need an ambulance.” He didn’t question me.I ran back, lifting Celine into my arms and rushing downstairs.Her skin was pale… terrifyingly so. Her blood pressure was dropping, her heartbeat slowing.“Hurry, Ton,” I growled, struggli
Jordan’s POVI took Ben to the doctor before bringing him to the nursery. All of them were adamant. We needed to find the origin of the curse as soon as possible… because that mark posed a risk to his life.I left him there, instructing the caretaker to inform me of any change. It felt strange to think that the life of that small boy was becoming more important than the rest of the pack.I went straight to where the humans who had delivered Celine’s belongings were being held. I needed answers.“What have you found?” I asked the wolves from the recovery team.“We’re trying to break the enchantment. Apparently, they’re not responsible for the delivery. They were taken from somewhere and bewitched.”“How is that possible? Witches have been extinct for centuries.” I said, irritated, walking toward the cage where the two humans were being held.“That’s what we’re trying to understand. It doesn’t seem like a coincidence… your son’s condition and this situation.” I turned to the man beside
Celine’s POVAs soon as Jordan left, I felt the atmosphere inside the house shift, but I pretended not to notice. I needed to finish organizing my things and clear the Alpha’s living room.“What do you want with all of this, human?” I didn’t turn around. I knew Jordan’s fiancée was behind me, watching my every move.“I don’t understand your question,” I said, trying to find a way to defuse the conflict already taking shape so early in the day.“Don’t play dumb. You slept with my Alpha, had his child, and now you show up as if nothing happened, disrupting the entire order of our pack. I want to know what you really want.” Her low growl reached me.I realized Angél didn’t want to draw the attention of Jordan’s guards, and that reassured me. As long as they were there, I was safe.“I just need to save my son. After that, we’ll leave, and you’ll have your Alpha all to yourself.” Even without my consent, my chest tightened at those words. I was growing used to Jordan’s presence… the safety
Jordan’s POV“I’ll ask Diana to send me everything she has.” I said, gripping the back of her neck and pulling her closer.“Nothing is going to happen to you or Ben while you’re with me.” My voice was firm. I needed her to understand that.“Thank you, Jordan. Even so, I think it would be best to have some security… just as a precaution until all of this is resolved.” I nodded.“I’ll have a team come stay with you, and I’ll assign one of the she-wolves to remain close. You’ll feel safer that way.” She agreed, kissing our son’s forehead.I ordered a team to unload the truck and bring her boxes inside. I left Hector in charge of the house’s security while I headed to the center. I needed one of the she-wolves to stay with Celine wherever she went.That human fragility had always irritated me… and now I could see it was even worse than I had imagined. Here, within my pack, even a young pup was stronger than she was.I entered the hall where several she-wolves were preparing to receive the
Jordan’s POV“You owe me an explanation for this. Now.” The taller man stepped forward, glaring at her, but she didn’t flinch.“Ma’am, we only deliver. We don’t check anything. You’ll have to call the company and file a complaint.” Celine narrowed her eyes, placing her hands on her hips.“So not only are you two days late, but you’ve tampered with all my boxes? Do you really think I’m letting you walk away like this?” The man behind him laughed, and I pulled out my phone, calling Hector.“You and the recovery team. At my house in two minutes.” I hung up and stepped closer to the men.“Where do you want me to put this, ma’am? Or should I just leave it out here in front of the house?” the man mocked, opening the truck without even glancing at me.“If you touch anything in there, I swear I’ll...” Celine grabbed her phone, already shouting at her assistant while the men started unloading the first boxes.“She’s not lying, friend. Move one box, and you’ll be leaving here in a hearse.” I gr
Jordan’s POVThe scent of fear had spread through the entire house. I could pick up the sharp notes of desperation, and I ran upstairs, trying to find what was wrong. To my surprise, only Benjamin was in the room, and he seemed completely at ease.I began tracking the arrogant human’s scent and found her lying on the couch. The traces of tears and pain in her features put me on alert. When I left the house, she had been speaking to someone.My mistake had been trying to force her to tell me what was happening. She still hadn’t understood that I was in charge there… and that as long as she remained, that would not change.I spent the entire night on the couch, searching for any clue of what might have gone wrong in those few hours. There was no scent of anyone else, only hers, laced with cortisol.My wolf paced inside my chest, restless. Something was happening, and I couldn’t see it. It was beyond anything I had ever experienced.I woke when Benjamin began to shout happily in his room
