INICIAR SESIÓNAlpha Kevin POVI drove Mira back to campus myself.The entire ride back, she barely looked out the window.She was physically here.Mentally?Not even close.Every few minutes her fingers would tighten around her phone before relaxing again.Klaus.She was thinking about Klaus.After everything that had happened tonight.After getting drugged.After getting kidnapped.After almost being handed over to Alpha Dean.She was still thinking about that bastard.I kept my smile firmly in place.No point getting annoyed.Not yet.Instead, I started talking.I told her about random school gossip.Who was secretly dating.Who got caught sneaking into another dorm.Which hockey player accidentally sent a shirtless picture into the team group chat.At first she barely reacted.Then she smiled.Then she laughed.A real laugh.Soft.Cute.The kind of laugh she used to give me years ago.Good.That was progress.By the time we reached her dorm building, she looked more relaxed than she had all nigh
Klaus POV And now it was the third day.Three damn days trapped in this nightmare.My body felt like it had been dragged through hell and back. The silver chains dug deep into my wrists every time I moved. The dark magic inside them drained my strength little by little until even breathing felt like work.I was worn out, tired down to my bones, and so hungry my stomach felt like it was eating itself.But none of that was the worst part.The worst part was Mira.Something was wrong.I could feel it.The feeling had started earlier that afternoon, but now it was getting stronger.Much stronger.My chest felt tight.My wolf paced restlessly inside my head.She's in trouble.I clenched my jaw.Maybe she was just worried about me.Maybe she was scared because I had disappeared.Maybe—No.My wolf cut me off immediately.This is different. Something happened.I hated how helpless I felt.I had pulled against these chains until my wrists bled.I had tested every link.Every lock.Every weak
Klaus POVMy father was the first person who came to see me in the dungeon.The heavy iron door groaned open.Two guards stood outside while he stepped inside alone.The torchlight on the walls made the shadows dance around him.For a long moment, neither of us spoke.I hung from the silver chains bolted into the stone wall. Every movement hurt. The silver had burned deep into my skin, and the dark magic inside the chains kept draining my strength.Meanwhile, my father looked perfectly comfortable.His clothes were spotless.His hair was neat.His expression was calm.Like he wasn't standing in front of his own son chained up like an animal.He simply stood there studying me.Watching.Waiting.The same way a hunter would stare at a wounded wolf.Finally, he sighed."You know," he said quietly, "it should never have come to this."I didn't answer."You caused all of this yourself. If you had simply listened to me, none of this would have happened."Still, I said nothing.His jaw tight
Klaus Pov “You missed the meeting,” I said coldly.Still nothing.He flipped a page calmly.“I was busy.”I laughed bitterly.Busy.“Stone is dead,” I snapped. “And I’m the one who killed him.”That finally got his attention.His head lifted slowly.For the first time since I entered the room, his face changed.Shock.Real shock.“You killed Stone?” he repeated slowly.I stared at him.“Yes.”He pushed his chair back hard and stood up immediately.The energy in the room shifted instantly.“Why?” he demanded, his voice rising with anger as he walked toward me. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”I didn’t move.“He put a gun to my mate’s head.”“And that gives you the right to kill the Alpha’s second-in-command?” he shouted. “Even if you are my son, you do not have that authority.”My temper snapped instantly.“You keep forgetting something,” I shot back. “I’m not just your son anymore. I’m your Alpha.”His eyes darkened immediately.“I have not passed that authority to you yet!”
Klaus POVThe silver chains dug deeper into my skin every single time I moved.I could feel the metal burning through my flesh like acid. The pain never stopped. It just kept getting worse and worse until my entire body felt numb.Blood slowly dripped down my arms onto the dirty dungeon floor.The chains were not normal silver.No.My father made sure of that.These chains were covered in dark magic. The kind used to break powerful wolves. The kind meant to make an Alpha weak and helpless.And right now?That was exactly what I was.Weak.Helpless.I sat against the cold stone wall breathing heavily while the chains held both my wrists high above me. Every breath hurt. My wolf could barely heal because the silver kept eating at my strength.The dungeon smelled like blood, rust, and mold.I hated it.But what I hated more was the fact that I could feel Mira’s fear through the bond.Something was wrong.Very wrong.At first, I thought she was just worried about me.She had every reason
Mira POVI nodded slowly and looked around the room again.“Am I in a hospital?” I asked quietly.Kevin gave me a small smile and nodded.“Yeah.”My throat still felt dry and scratchy.“How long have I been here?”“About three hours.”I blinked slowly.Only three?It honestly felt like I had been unconscious for an entire day.The moment I tried sitting up properly, dizziness slammed into me again. My vision blurred slightly, and I grabbed my head with a soft groan.“Easy,” Kevin said quickly.He hurried to grab the cup of water beside the bed and handed it to me carefully.This time I took it from him myself and drank slowly.Cold water never tasted so good before.After a few seconds, I finally looked back at him.“What happened?”Kevin leaned back in the chair slightly.“What’s the last thing you remember?”I frowned, trying hard to think.“The bike,” I muttered weakly. “I remember being on the bike with you and then…”“Then you passed out.”He rubbed the back of his neck tiredly.
Mira POVI stood beside Klaus’s car with both of my hands wrapped around his, refusing to let go even though it was already late and the cold night air was starting to bite my skin.The parking lot outside my dorm was almost empty now. Only a few cars remained under the yellow streetlights, and the
Mira POVThe second the words left my mouth, Klaus blinked at me in surprise.Real surprise.For once, the cocky idiot actually looked caught off guard.“Are you sure?” he asked slowly, searching my face carefully.And suddenly all my confidence disappeared.Completely.Because inviting Klaus Saint
Mira POV I didn’t even stop to think.The second I saw Klaus standing there covered in blood, breathing hard, looking like he had dragged himself through hell just to find me, my body moved on its own. I shoved Kevin away with all my strength and ran straight toward Klaus so fast my legs almost ga
Mira POV “Don’t grab that hand. Don’t even think about it,” Sky screamed in my head. She was practically baring her teeth at Kevin, her growl vibrating through my entire body. Honestly, I felt the same way.I took a small step back instead, my heart still racing, my body not fully steady yet. I lo
