Chapter 31 – Talia’s POV

I was seconds away from pulling the trigger when I realized who it was.

The tension left me all at once, my arm dropping as I let out a shaky breath. “Oh God,” I exhaled, my voice breaking slightly as I hurried forward. “I thought they caught you.”

Aria looked like she’d been dragged through half the forest; mud streaked across her clothes, leaves tangled in her hair, but she was standing. That was all that mattered.

I reached her and pulled her into a quick hug, relief

    Chapter 32 – Talia’s POVThe man holding us at gunpoint didn’t look like someone who would be doing that. He had a pair of glasses resting on his face, his expression calm in a way that didn’t match the weapon aimed at us.There was nothing about him that resembled any of Dylan’s men.“Put the gun down, please,” I said carefully. “We were just leaving. We don’t want any trouble.”He scoffed without even looking at me, his attention still half on the map spread out across the table in front of him. A pistol lay beside it. “Yeah?” Aria cut in before he could respond. “Because I’m pretty sure the moment these restraints are off, I’m driving a stake through his fucking skull.”I shot her a look immediately. “You’re not helping.”"What? Look at him Talia, he looks like a fucking creep with those mirror sitting on his face!" she scoffed."They're called glasses Aria," I answered dryly."That's not the point! Look at him, he's going to fucking rape us and kill us!" She shouted, her eyes bul

That was all that mattered.I reached her and pulled her into a quick hug, relief settling deep in my chest.“How did you find me?” I asked as I pulled back, still catching my breath.“Your scent,” she said easily, a small grin forming on her lips. “And you weren’t exactly quiet.”Before I could react, she reached out and took the gun from my hand, slipping it into her pocket. I guess she wanted to be sure I wouldn't shoot her from fear.“Come on, my lady,” she added, glancing ahead.I groaned. “For goodness’ sake, call me Talia. I just got you kidnapped.”That earned a soft

    Chapter 30 – Talia’s POVI didn’t get far.Something slammed into me from behind, and claws tore across my back. A sharp, burning pain exploded through me, dragging a scream out of my throat as I stumbled forward and crashed to the ground.My ankle twisted under me.I barely had time to process it before a hand fisted into my hair and yanked me back.“How long did you think the Alpha could keep you hidden in that palace?” a voice murmured close to my ear.My breath hitched.I tried to crawl forward anyway, my fingers digging into the dirt as panic took over.“Let me go!” I cried, kicking out blindly. “You bastard... let me go!”The grip only tightened. They dragged me back, my body scraping against the ground until I was thrown beside Aria.She was panting and struggling to break free from one of the men who had her pinned while another worked quickly, wrapping silver chains around her wrists and foot.Her fangs were out, snapping wildly as she tried to bite him, but it barely slowed

    Chapter 29 – Talia’s POV“What do you mean the guard left with the car?” I stopped pacing and turned sharply toward Aria, my glare already locked on her.She let out a tired sigh and lifted both hands like she was surrendering. “He said he had to run a quick errand and just… drove off.”“A quick errand?” I repeated slowly. “With our only ride?”Aria winced a little. “That’s what I said too.”I groaned and looked down the empty road again like the car might magically reappear if I stared hard enough.“Vermont is so going to kill him.” I muttered under my breath.“Definitely,” Aria shifted her weight, suddenly less interested in the missing car. “We can just wait inside while we figure it out?”I turned back to her. She wasn’t meeting my eyes properly. I squinted. “Why are you acting like that?”“Like what?”“That,” I pointed at her face. “That weird… guilty smile thing you’re doing.”Her eyes widened a little too fast. “I’m not doing anything.”“Aria.”She groaned. “Fine.”I stepped cl

    Chapter 28 – Cassie’s POVThere were a lot of things I hated about my stepbrother, Vermont. Unfortunately, there were just as many things I liked about him too; things I tried not to think about, but always did anyway.The way his hair always fell neatly into place, like it refused to be anything less than perfect. I’d catch myself staring sometimes, imagining what it would feel like to ruin it, to slide my fingers through and mess it up just to see if he’d react.Then there was his build; broad, strong, the kind that made people move out of his way without being told. And the way he carried himself, like everything was already under control before it even began.Things I wasn’t supposed to notice. Things I definitely wasn’t supposed to like.Because he was my stepbrother.It wasn’t just wrong; it was the kind of wrong people didn’t even joke about. Worse than the whispers I’d heard about girls who liked other girls. Not that that was entirely me. I didn't like only girls, I liked bo

    Chapter 27… Vermont’s POVThe next morning, I had meetings with the pack elders. As I sat in the room, listening to them argue amongst themselves, my mind kept drifting to Talia. I wondered what she was doing at that very moment, if she was awake, if she was thinking about me.“How do I prepare for a date?” I asked the guard standing beside me, hoping for some practical advice. His brow furrowed, and he shrugged.“I… don’t know,” he admitted.“You never took your wife on a date?” I asked, glancing at him sideways.“My wife and I hit it off immediately when we found out we were mates,” he said, his voice light, a small smile settling on his face. “We didn’t really need dates.”“So you’ve never gone on dates at all?” I pressed, curious despite myself.“We went on a couple. The diner downtown, the Ridge Museum… nothing fancy,” he recounted casually. I sighed, exasperated, although it made a small part of me smile. I was still trying to figure out the perfect date for Talia, one that wou
