JACKSON’S POVFor a moment, I just watched him, unsure whether stepping in was the right thing to do or not.He had his pride—I knew that much. And something told me that the wrong kind of help, the kind that felt like pity, would make him shut down faster than anything else.But then I saw his chest hitch on an uneven breath, and I decided I’d rather risk it than watch him fall apart alone.Without thinking further, I reached for his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.Just like that, Nether’s attention snapped to me, and I gave him the biggest smile I could manage.“You can do it,” I whispered. “I know you can. There’s nothing older brothers can’t do, right?”Nether still looked shaken, but something in his expression softened, and somehow, that felt like enough.“Caelan is counting on us,” I said quietly. “It’s our turn to take care of him now. Just think of your father as…another person. I know you can do it.”Within seconds, that wall of nervousness and uncertainty slowly crumbled
JACKSON’S POV“What?!” I and Nether spat in unison.“Information like this is shared among all the Betas reporting to the Pack officials. Beta Alex just told me now. Silas walked straight into your father’s quarters demanding to speak with him as the Alpha of Glacier Moon.”I stared at Kieran wide eyed and Nether’s jaw was on the floor. There was no way he was serious, right?“Tell me it isn’t true.” Nether’s hands slid down my shoulders as he turned to Kieran and just as quickly… that shock turned into pure, raging anger.“What in the blood moon do you mean he went to speak to Father, on his own?!” Nether yelled and I could hear the growl from the depths of his stomach. “That wasn’t the plan.”A deep sinking feeling began to form in my stomach.Why would Silas meet his father on his own?Was Nether right?Was he really bad news afterall?After I stood up for him?Soon enough my own shock quickly turned into white, burning rage.We had agreed that Nether would be the one to speak to h
Jackson PovBy the time Nether and I had returned, Lyria had already started on dinner. Kieran was in the kitchen and Silas…Silas was gone?“Where did Silas go?” I asked, looking around the cottage and seeing no sign of him.“I don't really know…” Kieran muttered as he popped his head out of the kitchen. It looked like he was helping Lyria. “He said he had some business to take care of.”“Some bus—”“Some business to take care of?” Nether cut me off, one brow arching in obvious suspicion. “Here? In WinterCrest?”“Apparently…”“Why didn’t you stop him?”“He’s an Alpha, Nether,” Kieran said. “How exactly were you expecting me to stop him? If he said he had business here, he probably did.”“Or maybe he just didn’t want to tell us what he was really doing.” Nether dropped the woven basket onto the table with more force than necessary. “I don’t trust him. Alpha or not. How well do either of you even know him? What if he’s bad news?”“He offered to help us find Frost, and that’s all that s
JACKSON’S POV “Let us inside first,” Kieran said. “We’ve had a long journey.”Once we were inside, Kieran told them everything without leaving a thing out. The training, the crossing, the fight. The fact that Frost had held his ground and genuinely stood a good chance but in the end, was still taken by Seraphina.Nether and his Lyria went very still.I knew exactly how they felt.Even Sora, who was sitting beside his mother, stopped swinging his legs.“But,” Kieran continued, “his mate and the Alpha of Glacier Moon have both committed to getting him back.”Nether’s eyes moved to me slowly. “Mate?”I’d been sitting with my hands clasped tightly in my lap, silently apologizing for all the pain they must’ve been put through from the very day they kicked Frost out. I stood and cleared my throat.“I really wish we were meeting like this under better circumstances,” I said. “I’m from the human realm. Frost found me there—or I found him, depending on how you look at it.” I held his gaze. “I
JACKSON’S POVThe carriage hadn't survived the journey as well as we'd hoped. One of the wheels damaged during the wolf attack, had nearly collapsed by the the time we started our Journey, so we had to use the horses instead. And since I wasn't so good with horses, I had to ride with Silas. The scenery looked so beautiful, yet my brain was somewhere else entirely, stuck on that moment with the rogue wolf—the way it had frozen in mid-air like something had hit pause on reality. The way I’d felt that surge move through me, cold and strange and completely unexplainable. I hadn’t said anything about it but maybe it was best for me to mention it to Kieran later? “Jackson.”I blinked.I turned. Silas was watching me with that patient, concerned expression he’d been wearing since the incident.“I’ve been calling your name.”“Sorry.” I shifted abit. “I was—yeah. Sorry.”“You’ve been quiet since the wolves,” he carefully. “Are you alright?”“I’m fine,” I said quickly, it was best to not ma
THIRD PERSON POVTammy looked like she hadn’t slept in just as long as Maya hadn’t. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her face pale beneath her usually perfect complexion, her hair pulled back in a way that suggested she’d stopped caring about it or how she looked a long time ago. She looked at Maya, gave a weak smile, and said “hi,” her voice completely worn out.Maya blinked at her.“How…how are you here? Better question, who gave you my address?”“Jackson’s parents.”Of course they did. Maya exhaled slowly and rubbed her face. Tammy was honestly the last person she wanted to see right now…she knew Jackson had hurt her, but it was still her fault he’d been on the spot, and if that made her a bad person, then she’d gladly be one.“I just needed to ask personally,” Tammy started. “Do you really not know where he is?”“I really don’t know where Jackson is Tammy,” Maya sighed. “I really wish I did.”“But Jackson is your best friend, isn’t he? You of all people should know where he—”“Be careful
FROST’S POVMy eyes slowly open as consciousness began to settle back in.Colors blend into each other, shapes refusing to stay in place no matter how hard I tried to focus my vision.Pain was the next thing I registered.It arrived with enough force to drag a groan out of me before I could stop it.
JACKSON POVI was still kneeling beside the couch, frozen in place, my wrist still trapped in his firm grip. Those ice blue eyes still stared at me, cutting through all my thoughts.The silence that just stretched between us as we gazed at each other felt like an eternity but was probably just a fe
JACKSON POVThe sickening crunch of the impact cut through the air. My breath hitched as I tried to register what just happened.Meanwhile, the car didn't stop. It just sped up and the taillights disappeared into the storm like it had never been there.Had I just witnessed a hit-and-run?For a seco
JACKSON POV“You better leave before it gets worse.” Mrs. Chen nudged at me, forcing me to drop the stacks of books I held in my hands.“What are you saying Mrs. Chen?” I looked back at her, hurt and confused, as she practically pushed me toward the door. “I promised to help out around the bookstor
