LOGINAnger, in all shades, blared into his eyes as he pushed me against the wall, growling. “Don’t let any man touch you ever again!” My blood boiled at his audacity as I spat out. “You have already rejected me, Alpha Vincenzo. Now, you can’t …” The rest of my warning died down in my head as he lunged forward and wrapped his hand around my throat. Despite his maddening rage, his gruff voice sounded eerily calm, sending shivers down my spine. “Rejected or not, you are mine, Ashley. Touch another man, and trust me, I’ll make sure you see me tear him to shreds!” … Rejected, banished, and tormented. Ashley’s life was another name of hell as she struggled to survive in the rogue pack every single day. She loathed her ex, Alpha Vincenzo, the reason behind her endless misery. However, life wasn’t exactly a bed of roses for Vincenzo as well. Burning in the fire of regret, his love turned into obsession, driving his wolf to the edge of insanity. His only goal was to bring Ashley back, no matter how long it took. After five years of separation, their paths crossed again in a fateful encounter, entangling their fates with a bizarre backlash of rejection. But Ashley was sure of one thing, she would never forgive Vincenzo! As her hatred clashed with Vincenzo’s obsession, the old feelings surfaced, reigniting the spark. Would she be able to resist the temptation of the bond that still simmered between them? Or the storm of true love would wash away all the grievances of the past?

I stretched my stride wider, faster, until the earth itself seemed to drum beneath with my heartbeat. The sky was painted in soft pastel-lavender clouds, melting into golden light. I felt truly free; the invisible pain in my chest was gone. It was just me, my wolf, and the wide-open field. The scent of wildflowers drifted into my nose, filling my heart with joy. I veered toward a patch of them, brushing my flanks against their velvet petals. The kind of run reminded me of my first shift when I had nothing but my wild heart and the wind at my side. Throwing back my head, I howled, the sound ringing sharp and clear in the air. My paws thudded against the earth, and soon, I spotted a pond, its glimmer captivating my attention. I padded softly towards crystal-clear water. The liquid shimmered under the sunlight, so pure it looked like melted diamonds.
Vincenzo’s P.O.V. The iron taste of blood clung to my tongue, the sting of the broken skin still burning, but none of it mattered to me anymore. The truth lay bare before me as my dad’s killer had confessed his crime, revealing the hidden secret of his mysterious death. My claws slid out, and a growl rumbled from the depths of my chest, shaking the air. “You have done enough damage, Dean!” I snarled, every word searing with fire. “Now, I won’t allow you to cause any damage or trouble.” Dean’s smile faltered as I faced him fearlessly, disbelief shadowing his face. He muttered to himself. “That wolfsbane… It wore off so easily?” Yes! The wolfsbane! I had gone to rescue my son, but the moment I reached that rundown building, it turned out to be a trap. I thought I was ready for everything, but I couldn’t see the syringe coming until it was buried in my neck. Its venom hit faster, burning through my veins, ripping my strength away. My body turned heavy and sluggish, and bef
Ashley’s P.O.V. “No!” The ground tilted under my feet, my heart tearing open as though claws had ripped straight from my chest. My scream ripped through the night, raw, uncontrollable, drowning out everything else. I reached for his shoulders, shaking my head violently. “No! No, Vincenzo! Don’t say that. Don’t you dare say that!” But his eyes didn’t flicker, didn’t burn with the fire that threatened us. They stayed cold, deadened by the loss. I clutched at Vincenzo’s bloodied shirt as though I could shake the truth out of him. “No! This can’t be true. You went to bring him back. Cassidy wanted the pack papers. Then why? Why couldn’t you save him? Why isn’t my son here?” Before he could answer or even breathe, a sound sliced through the night, cruel, venomous, and merciless. Cassidy laughed coldly. “I don’t play by the rules, Ashley!” She mocked, her voice carrying a poison wrapped in sweetness. “I have taken both: the pack papers and your son’s life. And it’s fair, don’t
Ashley’s P.O.V. My head was still pounding from where Grayson had slammed me against the wall, but fury burned hotter than pain. The moment his grip slackened, I twisted my wrists free and lunged at the wine pitcher at the table. My fingers closed around the heavy glass, and before he could snarl another threat, I smashed it across his head. Boom! The sound was sickening, a dull crack followed by his guttural growl. Blood ran down his temple as Grayson staggered, glaring at me with venom in his eyes. But I didn’t wait! I bolted inside and slammed the balcony doors shut, fumbling with the locks. Through the glass, I could see Grayson swaying, trying to gain control over himself. At that moment, I knew he wouldn’t be down for long. My breath hitched, and my feet moved before I could register, taking me away from this cursed scene. I threw open the suite’s door and sprinted down the carpeted hallway, every step thundering in my ears. I kept glancing back, half-expecting his
