LOGINLucian’s POVThe moment her panic flared, all of us rose to our feet, eyes fixed on the screen. She was staring at something that terrified her to the core—yet the drawing room was empty.Hallucinations. Grimhaze was taking hold.Still, we held ourselves back. We had to see it through, to know exactly what she was facing in her mind. Her scream ripped through the speakers, sharp and raw, tearing straight into our hearts."No one moves," I ordered, forcing calm into my voice. "Just a few more moments. Then I’ll go and give her the antidote."I could feel their reluctance, their instincts screaming as loud as mine to rush to her. But just like me, they forced themselves to remain still."Go away!" Her cries echoed again, more desperate. "Vixen, Fluffy, go! Go away! That wolf will kill you!"The words struck us like claws. ’So it’s the black wolf she is seeing.’She trembled as if her sanity itself was being devoured. Her voice shook with desperation as she pleaded for her pets. Her frai
Keal’s POVEira had fallen asleep in that soft mattress by the glass window. Her pets huddled by her side. I went to her and gently carried her in my arms, making sure her sleep won’t be disturbed.I could feel my four brothers’ gazes on me as they must be still surprised at my actions. But I chose to ignore them, while they didn’t dare ask me a thing.Inside my room, I placed her in the bed. Another night I would be spending with her, a peaceful night and devoid of any torment that I had been going through for the past six years.Now I know the reason of that pain. I truly deserved every bit of it.I turned off the lights, got into the bed, and as if staring to be closer to her since ages, I held her in my arms. Surrounded by her presence, her scent, the world felt quiet and peaceful.I could hear my wolf letting out a soft growl of contentment. He was at a peace as well.It should have always been like this. Her and Me. It was meant to be.We were meant to be.---Roman’s POVThe ne
Kael’s POVRoman followed after her quietly to her place. "I’ve set up a cushioned space for you," he said, gesturing to the arrangement by the large glass window. "You can sit or lie down comfortably. Vixen can’t be exposed to the cold for long. If she stays on the floor with you, it’ll affect her health—and her babies."Without protest, Eira settled into the space he had prepared. A soft mattress was spread across the floor, layered with warm, thick sheets and a backrest placed just right. Roman had taken care of every detail.Of course he had. The bastard always had a flair for doing the right thing at the right time. He must have come home early just to arrange all this, knowing she would want to sit here.No one would believe this was the same man who used to bully Eira relentlessly, the same man she once despised with a passion. And yet now, he was turning into the epitome of chivalry—gentle, attentive, protective."Clever fucker, isn’t he?" Rafe’s voice reached me as he looked
Kael’s POV"Anything else besides this?" I asked Rafe, my eyes narrowing slightly as I studied him. I knew how skilled he was when it came to digging for the truth."I recovered all the physical evidence," he said, his tone calm but sharp. "That includes Eira and Alice’s cellphones. They’re in bad condition, but I’ll try to extract whatever data I can. If both Alice and Eira ended up there, it wasn’t by chance. Someone arranged it. Any suspicious call or message might lead us to the one pulling the strings."He paused for a moment before adding, "And the gun she used. We need to track down who it belongs to, and how she got it."As expected, Rafe was thorough. His expertise with tech would prove invaluable now."Grimhaze," I muttered, reading the name printed across the toxicology report. "It causes hallucinations.""Yes," Rafe confirmed. "But Lucian’s the better one to explain its full effects. Once he’s back, I’ll show him the report."I closed the file with a low hum of acknowledgm
Kael’s POV"There will be days she is too weak, and days she will stand so strong you may not know how to deal with her. Her mind will remain volatile for a long time, or maybe forever. You must accept this broken version of her if you wish to keep her with you.""As long as she stops attempting suicide, I am fine with any version of her," I said firmly. "Tell me what we must do to drive those thoughts out of her mind.""The root of everything lies in the pain and suffering she has endured through the years," the doctor replied. "She has locked it all away. She trusts no one, sees no hope. She lives like the walking dead. First, we must free her mind from the prison of that pain.""How do we do that?" I asked."By making her face it, making her talk about it. She needs to express what she has buried so deeply. It must be allowed to flow out," the doctor explained, then asked, "Have there been any instances that provoked strong reactions in her?"I gave a short nod. "Twice. Once when s
Kael’s POVThe doctor pulled a chair and sat before Eira, her composure steady and calm. She watched Eira weep, clutching the emptiness in her arms as though she still held her child there, gazing down at him as if he had never left.The sight tore into me. My throat tightened, my chest felt unbearably heavy, and my eyes burned.If only that incident didn’t happen in the past, if only she wasn’t framed. Perhaps today she would be holding our child instead, and we would be living the happy life together. Because she was meant to be fine. Our fates had already decided it.At the same time, the thought of having a child with her overwhelmed me. I wished I could look forward to that future, but I knew it would take time. She needed healing, not only in her body, but deep within her broken spirit."His name is Ray?" the doctor asked gently.Liam had already explained Eira’s condition, and that she had once borne a child.Eira nodded, tears streaking down her pale cheeks."How did it feel t
Roman’s POVAfter what Kael did today, we were in a merry mood for the first time in a long while. The weight of accepting that bitch Sophia as our mate, in case Kael gave in to her request, had finally been lifted.From the looks of it, after treating her, Kael might just keep his distance from he
Rafe’s POVOnce Jason and Lucian left the home to deal with the mess they had created previous night, it was finally my turn for the real fun I had saved from the last night.Real fun?Oh yes. The kind of fun that involves two rotting sacks of shit—Luis’s dear friends—the ones who sold Eira to traf
Roman’s POVThe way she stood against the wall, bracing against what she thought was coming her way, I felt bad that she still didn’t trust me—but she was not at fault after experiencing no mercy from men.She must think everyone looked at her as nothing more than just a fucktool, and I had no will
Eira’s POVEven the mere mention of that man, my mate, was like a thousand blades tearing through my heart. I hated him. I didn’t even want to think about him.Dead? Yes, he was dead to me. And if I could, I would kill him a million times over.He would never know he had a child. A monster like him
