Lena's Pov

I didn't know what life laid ahead for me, but I was damn sure it was hell. My life as the daughter of an Alpha linked to a prophecy of doom was nothing short of miserability.

And in the cold night, both of my parents were killed, right in front of me.

…what could I have done wrong?

"Lena, listen to me, hide! Don’t let anyone find you." My mother’s voice was a fierce, trembling whisper as she clutched my shoulders, her eyes were wild with fear and my legs wobbled. "You need to run, Lena. Don’t look back, just…."

A thunderous howl cut through the night, and my mother flinched, her gaze darting behind her. She let go of me and took a step back, standing between me and the sound.

The shadows moved, revealing him, our Beta. A trusted face that was once full of warmth, now twisted into something unrecognizable, cold and monstrous. He was like a bloody monster looking for whom to devour and he found them…. My parents.

“Why?” That was all my little child brain could think of.

"Run," she whispered one last time, her voice barely audible over the rush of blood in my ears.

I stumbled back, hidden by the thick trees, heart pounding, legs frozen, too terrified to move. I wanted to scream, to run to her, but something held me rooted in place, as if the ground itself had swallowed my will.

My father laid sprawled, lifeless, crimson pooling beneath him, his eyes staring at nothing. This can’t be happening. This can’t be real. I didn't believe anything like that had happened.

I clamped my hand over my mouth to stifle a sob as I watched, my mother standing alone, defiant, even as the Beta’s men surrounded her. She looked so small and so impossibly brave.

“Your daughter… She’s the curse, you know that, don’t you?” the Beta hissed, his voice slicing through the night. “It’s because of her that your pack will fall. She’s the reason for all of this. You should have dealt with her yourself.”

My mother’s chin lifted, her voice steady, unwavering. “She is more than you’ll ever understand.”

The Beta smirked, his eyes glinting with a twisted satisfaction. “Then let this be a lesson in mercy.”

The next second was a blur. The Beta lunged, claws tearing through flesh, his men following with ruthless, bloodthirsty movements. My mother’s scream echoed, torn from her as she lost her balance completely, her life faded away right in front of me.

Her body crumpled under their relentless assault, torn apart until she was no longer the strong, loving figure I knew, but a mere dying soul, one I couldn't afford to look at.

A strangled cry escaped my throat. I clutched my chest, feeling like my own heart had been ripped from my body. My vision blurred, hot tears streaming down my face, burning as they fell. My mother was gone. My father, gone. They were my everything, my life, my world, my family.

“Find her!” His voice roared, snapping me back to the nightmare. “She couldn’t have gotten far. She needs to die before she brings more ruin to this pack.”

A surge of fear jolted me. They were coming for me. The only family I’d ever known was gone, and now… they wanted me dead, too. My legs moved on instinct, stumbling, scraping against the underbrush as I turned and ran.

Each step felt like it took everything I had left, the ground tearing at my feet, branches clawing at my face as I plunged deeper into the darkness.

My chest heaved, my breaths sharp and shallow as my heart hammered against my ribs. The forest blurred around me as I ran blindly, my mother’s last words echoing in my mind.

“Run, survive… don’t look back.” But every step forward felt like a step away from everything I’d lost, every heartbeat a reminder that I was alone now, that I had no one left to turn to.

But the night wasn’t silent. Their howls tore through the air, drawing closer, louder, filling me with a terror that seemed to stretch out forever.

I pushed myself harder, forcing my legs to keep moving, keep running, even as my vision blurred with tears, even as my lungs burned, as if they might tear apart from the effort.

A branch snapped, close enough that I could feel the tremor through the ground. I bit back a sob, my muscles burning, every part of me desperate to collapse, to give in. But I had to keep going. I had to survive. I had to….

The ground came up to meet me as I stumbled, my foot catching on a hidden root. I fell forward, my head colliding with something hard, a jagged branch or a rock, I couldn’t tell. Pain exploded behind my eyes, and for a moment, everything went black.

When I opened my eyes again, my vision swam, and I felt warmth trickling down my forehead, down my cheek. Blood. It was everywhere, on my hands, on my clothes, staining the ground beneath me. I reached up, touching the wound, my fingers slick with it, but I could barely feel anything beyond the dull throb in my skull.

My body refused to move. The world spun, and the darkness closed in.

*No, not here. I can’t… I have to…*

    Lena's Pov "Didn’t expect to find me here, did you?”Theo’s voice was like a sneer, filling the hallway with tension as I took a step back, eyeing him warily. I hadn’t expected to run into him so early, and I definitely wasn’t in the mood for one of his games. “I was just going to get things done,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady and slip past him, hoping he’d be satisfied enough to let me go.But he didn’t move. Instead, he sidestepped in front of me, blocking my path. Before I could react, his hand shot out, gripping my neck, not hard enough to choke me, but firm enough to hold me in place. I gasped, feeling the roughness of his fingers pressing against my throat as he leaned in closer, his breath warm against my cheek.“The way out is there,” he said, his eyes cold as he jerked his head toward the end of the hall. I swallowed, my heart pounding as I tried to maintain my composure. “If you really want me to leave, why don’t you throw me out yourself?”Something crossed hi

    Theo's Pov "Get out of my bed before I throw you out myself." My voice was a low growl as I shielded my eyes, trying to shake off the shock of finding her, Lena, curled up on my bed. The sheet barely covered her, draped over her like an invitation. I clenched my jaw, trying to rein in my anger… or maybe something else.“Then get out so I can make sure I’m not naked,” she shot back, her voice firm and unashamed.I lowered my hand just enough to glare at her. “You are supposed to be embarrassed, not blunt.”“Maybe I would be if you hadn’t barged in here without knocking,” she countered, sitting up and clutching the sheet closer. “Besides, it’s not my fault you didn’t make it clear this was your room.”I took a step forward, shaking my head at her defiance. I expected her to look away, to be apologetic, or at the very least, to show some fear. Instead, she held my gaze with that steady, irritating fire that seemed to never leave her eyes. Who was this girl?I snorted, half-amused desp

    Lena's Pov “Where are you taking me?” I asked, keeping my voice down. “To the Lord’s Quarters,” she replied, not sparing me a glance.The Lord’s Quarters. I swallowed, dread knotting in my stomach. Whoever this Lord was, I doubted I’d be welcome. I was an outsider, a stranger, and I had no idea why Gideon had chosen to take me in. I wasn’t sure I wanted to know.We turned another corner, and my eyes darted to the tapestries on the wall, anything to distract myself from the tension pooling in my chest. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. A tall figure stepped out of the shadows, blocking our way. He was dressed in dark clothes that matched the hardened, bitter look in his eyes.“Leave us,” he ordered with a cold tone.The lady's mouth tightened as she bowed and hurried away, leaving me alone in the narrow passage with the stranger. He took a step closer, his eyes went around me, so much disgust and irritation written all over his face. He reached up, his fingers brushing my hair a

    Lena's Pov "Where am I?” My voice was a hoarse whisper, echoing in the silence of the unfamiliar room. My head throbbed, a dull, relentless ache that pulsed behind my eyes.I blinked, trying to clear my vision. I didn’t remember coming here. Was I….in paradise? I was so sure hell wouldn't be as beautiful as the room I was in.A creak broke the silence, the sound of a door opening somewhere nearby. I panicked, jolting me fully awake. I stumbled, clumsy in my disorientation, and threw myself behind a thick, dark curtain hanging by the side of the room. I pressed my back against the wall, trying to steady my breaths. Who was here? And where was I?Heavy footsteps approached, crossing the floor with a confident, unhurried pace. I held my breath as a voice, deep and calm, spoke from somewhere nearby.“You don’t need to hide. I know you’re awake.” My heart raced as I pressed closer to the wall. How did he know I was up? I hadn’t made a sound. Before I could even think of an escape, a s
