LOGINCorine POVHours passed while I lay stretched across the bed. My body felt weak and heavy, my face pale, but my soul slowly began to clear again. From where I lay, I watched Saira sitting near the wooden window of the cabin. Her chin rested on her palm as she stared at the horizon buried under thick gray fog.Her fingers tapped lightly on the wooden frame. Slow. Repetitive. Lost in quiet thoughts.The silence lasted until an embarrassing sound escaped from deep inside me.My empty stomach growled loudly in the quiet room.Saira’s sharp ears caught it immediately. She turned toward me and a gentle smile spread across her face."Luna. You’re hungry. You didn’t finish your food this morning. Do you want me to bring you something?"Heat rushed to my cheeks in sudden embarrassment. I shrank slightly under the heavy blanket and slowly nodded my head, admitting my desperate need for food.Saira stood up lightly, almost like a butterfly, then said with careful seriousness,"I’ll go get someth
Yossi POVThe harsh cold rising from the stone floor of the prison crept deep into my bones. Yet it was nothing compared to the icy stares cutting through my isolation. Outside, the pack was boiling with rage. The cries of the grieving widow demanding my execution reached my ears like the hissing of furious snakes.My body trembled.Not from fear.But from the heavy silence that suddenly fell when Drake walked through the prison gates.He moved with the calm authority of an Alpha who did not care about the pack’s screaming crowd. He knew that bending to their anger would only strip him of his dignity.When his eyes landed on me, my breath caught.I sat there with my hands chained together. The loose shirt barely covered part of my body, while my long hair fell over my shoulders, framing my pale face.Slowly, I lifted my head toward him. My neck muscles tightened painfully, but I made sure my eyes shone with clear defiance.I dug my nails into my palms and said in a low voice dripping
Corine POVI sat on the bed, my body too heavy to hold itself up. My eyelids were half closed, and my head drifted somewhere between awareness and weakness, like a lost boat floating on still water.Suddenly, the silence broke with soft knocks on the door, followed by quiet footsteps. Saira stepped in carefully, as if she feared the sound of her steps might wake the pain buried deep in my bones.She gave me a gentle smile and said in a low voice,"Hello… Luna."I lifted my head a little. My brows pulled together in dull annoyance when I heard the title. I only gave a small nod. Even words felt too heavy to pass through my throat.She moved closer and stood beside the bed."Alpha ordered us to prepare a bath for you."The moment she finished speaking, three omegas walked in with calm, organized steps. One carried a bowl of warm water. Thin steam rose from it and brushed against my face with soft moisture. The second held scented oils that smelled like delicate flowers. The third carrie
Aldric POVThe new house appeared ahead of us. A small wooden cabin surrounded by tall trees. Inside, it was simple. A wide bed big enough for two. A modest wardrobe in the corner. A wooden desk. And a small bathroom lit by an oil lamp.I stepped inside while holding Corinne in my arms. Slowly, very carefully, I laid her on the bed.Her chest rose and fell as she slept. Her body was still burning with fever, but I felt a little calmer knowing she was in a better place now.One of the Omegas entered quietly. She placed several bottles of medicine and some neatly folded clean clothes on the small table beside the bed. Then she bowed respectfully and left without a sound, leaving the house silent except for the two of us and the faint rhythm of our breathing.Gamma Kyle remained standing outside the house, watching with tense eyes until I stepped out a moment later.My chest rose and fell slowly. My eyes burned with worry.Kyle spoke."Alpha... the attacker we captured is Alpha Lunar's s
Aldric POV"Please… let me go. I don’t want to go back to the Shadow Claw Pack!""Kill me now, but don’t take me back to that hell!"That was Corinne’s voice. She was begging me. Screaming those words right before I tore her away from Mason after my men surrounded him.I had been watching her for a while. Quietly. Patiently. My spies followed every step she took until the moment finally came. Corinne had left Silverstone without Glacier Alpha’s guards. The only one with her was Mason Carter.Seeing her like that tore something inside my chest. She had even tried to end her own life with a sharp knife just to escape me before she collapsed unconscious.Still… having her beside me again was the happiest thing I had felt in days.I walked straight to my mate.Saira stood with steady steps, and the healer followed behind her, lowering his head in respect when I approached. I stopped beside Corinne’s bed and stared at her silent face for a long moment.She looked weak. Fragile.And that si
Corinne POVMy chest felt like a boiling pot of lava, pressure building until I could barely breathe. I rushed to the door and slammed my fist against it, my scream ripping through the silent hallway in a sharp, ragged voice that burned my throat."Open the door, Alpha Glacier!"I was shaking with fury, my whole body trembling as I continued, my threat slipping through clenched teeth."I swear, Glacier, I will leave. I will walk away, and you will not even get the chance to see my face again. So open this damn door, Glacier!"No answer. Just silence.He had locked the door and left, as if I were some prisoner he could cage whenever he pleased.I kept shouting and pounding on the wood until my palm swelled and burned. Then I heard a voice I knew too well. Calm. Cold. Slipping through the door like ice.Lumi."If I open the door, will you leave?"I froze for a second. Then I leaned close to the crack of the door, my voice breathless but firm."Lumi… I promise. I will leave, and you will
