LOGINKlaus POV I sat alone in the locker room long after the others had left. The celebration outside slowly faded until all I could hear was the soft humming of the air conditioner and my own breathing. My head was spinning with everything Tae-jun had told me.A blood oath.Dad had sworn a blood oath.Every werewolf knew what that meant. You couldn't lie while making one. If you did, the oath itself would destroy you. If Tae-jun was telling the truth, then maybe... just maybe... everything I believed wasn't the whole story.For weeks I had been drowning in guilt. I had already convinced myself that my father murdered Mira's parents. I convinced myself that our relationship was over before I even gave him a chance to explain. I had been too afraid to ask him because I couldn't bear hearing him say the words I feared the most.But what if I had been wrong?What if Kevin hadn't told Mira the full truth?What if Dad knew something but wasn't one of the people who actually killed them?For th
Klaus POV The locker room was still buzzing with excitement after the biggest win of the season. Laughter echoed off the walls as my teammates celebrated, replaying the game over and over, shoving each other playfully, arguing about the best moments, and talking about the dinner Coach had promised to buy us.The room smelled of sweat, damp hockey gear, and victory. Normally, I would have been right in the middle of all the noise. I would have been teasing Aaron, arguing with Ugo about who deserved the game-winning goal, and laughing at one of Tae-jun's terrible jokes. Today, I couldn't bring myself to do any of it.I sat in front of my locker with my head hanging low, my elbows resting on my knees while my hands covered my face. The cheers around me sounded distant, almost like they belonged to another world. No matter how hard I tried to hold myself together, I couldn't stop the tears. We had just won the biggest game of the season, yet all I could think about was Mira.The picture
Kevin POVThe arena was so loud that it felt like the whole building was shaking.Thousands of voices crashed together until it became one endless roar. Students filled every section of the stands. Pack members waved banners and flags. The announcers shouted over the speakers with so much excitement that even I had trouble hearing the person standing beside me.This was exactly the kind of stage I wanted.The biggest game of the season.The biggest crowd of the year.Every important person from the college seemed to be here.I slowly scanned the stands until my eyes found the one person I had been looking for.Mira.She was sitting quietly a few rows above the front, wearing a simple jacket with her hands folded in her lap.She wasn't cheering.She wasn't smiling.She was only watching the ice.A small smile tugged at my lips.She came.After everything that happened, she actually came.For a second I looked toward the rink.Almost immediately I noticed Klaus looking into the crowd.H
Kevin POVWatching someone slowly lower their guard is a beautiful thing.Especially when that someone once looked at you like you were poison.I stood outside the college library with my hands in my pockets and watched Mira from across the courtyard. She was sitting beneath the old oak tree, the same place she liked to read whenever she wanted some peace and quiet. A thick book rested on her lap, but she wasn't reading anymore. She was staring at the pages without turning them, completely lost in her own thoughts.A small smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.We had come a long way.Several weeks ago she could barely stand being near me. Every conversation ended after a few words. She kept her distance, answered politely, and found an excuse to leave.Now things were different.Not completely different.Just enough.She let me walk beside her after class.Sometimes we sat together under this very tree while she studied. We didn't talk about anything important. Mostly classes, profe
Tae-jun POV "I told you, I don't know what you're talking about!" Alpha Dean snapped. "I didn't do anything.""You did!" Luna Isabella cried. Her voice was shaking with fear and anger. "Everything started that night. Klaus came to you because he wanted to discuss something important. Before he left, he asked me if you knew anything about Alpha Roman and his wife. What did you two talk about that night? What did you tell him?""Nothing important!" Alpha Dean yelled back. "Just like you said, he asked if I knew Alpha Roman and his wife. I told him I did. Before we could even continue, one of the servants came in and said his mate was waiting outside the gate."He let out a frustrated sigh before continuing."I don't think whatever is wrong with him has anything to do with me. I think your son got dumped, and he doesn't know how to deal with a breakup.""No." Luna Isabella immediately shook her head. "No, Dean. I don't believe that. If this was only because of Mira, he wouldn't be actin
Tae-jun POVTina refused the moment I suggested it.She stared at me like I had completely lost my mind."You are crazy," she said, crossing both arms over her chest. "You seriously want us to break into the pack mansion and steal something from Alpha Dean's office? Do you want us thrown into the dungeon?"I shrugged."First of all, he isn't Alpha anymore. Klaus is. Second, I'm not some stranger walking into the mansion. I practically grew up there. The servants know me. The guards know me. I visit Klaus all the time. Getting inside won't be the hard part."She still looked at me like I had grown another head."You keep saying that like it makes this any better.""It does.""No, it doesn't.""It really does."She groaned and rubbed both hands over her face."Tae-jun, this is called breaking and entering.""I prefer calling it... borrowing information."She blinked at me."That somehow sounds even worse."I grinned."Look, think about it. If Kevin has documents his father left behind,
POV: MiraI did not sleep.Not even a little.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Klaus leaning close to me. Smirking. Teasing. Acting like he owned the air I breathe.I sat up in bed with a groan.“Stop thinking about him,” I muttered to myself.I rolled my eyes, took a shower, and got dressed.I c
Mira POV The walk back to my dorm felt longer than usual—not because it was far, but because I could still feel invisible eyes on me. The campus was quiet, washed in soft gold light, pretending nothing dramatic had happened. I kept my head down and hugged my bag to my chest.Chloe had floated off
Mira After Tina finished lecturing me about how I was making the worst mistake of my life by getting involved with Klaus, I felt like my ears were ringing.She didn’t yell.That was the scary part.Tina only got quiet when she was truly serious.“Klaus isn’t someone you play with,” she had said. “
Mira POV Bella and Kevin were walking toward us. Holding hands. Calm, powerful, untouchable.Glory froze, anger draining from her face, replaced by shock.Leave her alone!” Kevin barked, his voice cutting through the hallway.Glory froze for a second, then stuttered. “B-But Alpha Kevin… she’s not
