Donald’s POV

Pain struck slowly, sliding beneath my skin with every heartbeat until even breathing felt like a mistake. My chest tightened. My hands pressed against the wall to steady myself, but it did nothing to stop the ache that threaded through my bones.

She stood at the bottom of the staircase, one hand gripping the railing, her eyes wide and confused. Her lips parted slightly, and the sound of her voice reached me, trembling.

"Mr Smith... what's... happening to you?"

I didn't answer. I moved before I could stop myself. My wolf surged beneath the surface, pulling at me desperately. My body wanted her, demanded her, and needed to fix the bond, but I would not give in. My instincts drove me forward toward her and toward the warmth of her body.

She stepped back, pressing herself against the wall. I leaned closer, drawn without thinking, feeling the raw pull of the bond beneath my ribs. I lowered my head to her neck, catching a faint whiff of her scent and froze. Something about h

    Rebecca’s POVA steady beating filled my ears until it felt like the world was shaped around it. For a moment, I thought it was my heart. It sounded very loud and close, like a drum being struck inside my head."Is that my heart?" I wondered. "Why is it so loud?"I lifted my hand and pressed it against my chest, feeling for the rhythm beneath my palm. My heart was beating fast and uneven, but it did not match the sound I was hearing. The noise did not stop. It kept beating steadily, unbothered by what was going on in my head.Confused, I let my hand fall away and forced my eyes open.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. It was high, pale, and smooth, nothing like my room. Even though it was just as massive as the one I was given, mine was brighter. I was shocked and confused. Before panic could fully take hold, my hand brushed against something warm and solid beside me. I turned my head slowly and saw Mr Smith lying down next to me.He was on his back, one arm stretched above his h

    “I hear you've been feeding information to my enemies,” I said, my voice low, precise, and deadly. The basement was cold, dark, and smelled of damp stone and fear. Chains rattled as the man struggled against his restraints, eyes wide with panic, and sweat running down his face.“I—I don’t know! I swear! I just…” His words faltered. His courage was already gone, replaced with raw, trembling terror.“Who do you work for?” I asked, stepping closer, the harsh overhead light cutting across his sweat-streaked features. My shadow fell over him like a blade.“I… I’m not telling! I swear!” He struggled again, futilely.I smiled coldly. “You’re going to tell me. One way or another.”I bent and picked up a spanner from the workbench. Its weight was satisfying in my hand, cold steel against my palm. I ran a finger along the jagged edges, testing it as I studied him.“Let’s start with something simple,” I said, voice calm. My fingers moved to his hand, gripping it tight. He flinched, trying to pu

    “What is this place?” I whispered, my voice shaking as my eyes darted around. The car had slowed, then stopped, and I realized I was no longer on familiar streets. Towering trees stretched toward the sky, their leaves shimmering silver in the fading light of dusk. The air smelled faintly of earth and something wild and alive.Rowan’s hands remained steady on the wheel. “This is the pack territory,” he said calmly, as if stating the obvious.“The pack… territory?” My voice wavered, disbelief making my throat dry. “I… I thought I was going to… I don’t know… a penthouse, or an apartment… somewhere normal. Not… not this…” My hands gripped the seat tightly.Beyond the car window, my eyes widened in horror. Wolves—massive, regal, some with silver and black fur, prowled openly, moving among men and women holding swords, spears, and banners. Figures in flowing robes chanted quietly near the edge of a courtyard. Their presence radiated authority and danger. Wolves and humans together, aligned

    I stood frozen in Damon’s apartment. My heart thumped in my chest like a frantic drum, and every instinct screamed that what he had just said was impossible, cruel, and unreal.“I’m… getting married?” My voice was barely a whisper, breaking under the weight of disbelief.Damon’s expression remained calm, even detached. There was none of the warmth I had once clung to, none of the gentle affection I had believed in. The man I had loved, the man I had built my life around, had vanished. In his place was someone unfamiliar and terrifying.“Yes,” he said simply. “I’ve arranged it. You leave soon. That is all.”I shook my head violently, my knees nearly giving way. “No. I… I don’t understand. Who is he? Why me? What—what does this even mean?”He exhaled, a slow, deliberate sound that carried the weight of authority. “Someone powerful wants you. It is… an opportunity. You will have a new life. Consider it a favor.”The words hit me like stones. My throat burned. My feet trembled so badly th

    Power had never felt like a blessing to me. Even as a child, I understood that it was something inherited through blood and paid for with sacrifice. The night my parents died, that understanding became permanent.The pack was told it had been a rogue attack, sudden and merciless, a tragedy that no one could have prevented. The elders repeated that story until it settled into the walls of the territory like an accepted truth. But I stood over my parents’ bodies and saw the precision of the wounds, the calculated timing, and the unmistakable signs of betrayal. Rogues did not strike with that kind of planning. Someone had wanted them dead, and someone powerful enough had succeeded.I took the throne with grief still burning in my chest and blood barely dry on my hands. I did not have the luxury of mourning. The moment the crown settled on my head, the council began to circle, watching, measuring, and waiting for weakness they believed would surely come.But It never did.I ruled with dis
