MasukHayden's POVThe moment Baldwin dropped dead, the magic holding me down finally gave way, and I regained my freedom.I rushed to where Abby knelt beside Derek. He was lying motionless on the floor.“Derek?” I called, pressing two fingers to his neck. Nothing. I checked for his breathing, but there was none.My heart dropped.I looked at Abby, still on her knees, staring at his lifeless body as if she still couldn't believe it.Something in my chest cracked at the sight of her.For the first time since Derek crossed my path as a rival, I would have given anything to see him dare me again. Try to tarnish my image like he once did. Hijack my contract. Challenge me to another fight, knowing I'd probably beat him again. Or even fight me over Abby.“Wake up,” Abby whispered, her voice breaking. “Please… we still have things to settle as siblings.”Siblings?My head turned toward her before I could stop it.Minutes ago, Derek had planted himself between Baldwin and her and called her his sis
Abby's POVI stared down at Baldwin, barely recognizing the strength surging through my body.Yes, I know Carla is insanely powerful, but feeling this power coursing through me is something else. I never even knew we could be immune to dark magic.Carla had only given me a short, vague warning before she took over completely.“Finally,” she answered inside my head.My brows furrowed.Finally?“What's that supposed to mean?” I asked.“Not you,” she replied, her eyes burning behind mine as she fixed a murderous stare on Baldwin. “Long time, Alaric.”She paused.“I'm sure you never expected this outcome.”Baldwin frowned. “How do you know my wolf's name?”I had no idea how to answer him. I was just as lost as he was.But Carla continued.“The healing chamber, four hundred years ago. What you and the wizard did to Carla, the little white healer.” Carla paused. “Surely that name still means something to you, Alaric.”Baldwin's eye flared, and I knew his wolf had surfaced.“C-Carla?”His vo
Hayden's POVI wanted to believe Derek had called Abby his sister because of the situation we were presently in, or maybe because of the decision he'd made to let her go after we spoke two days ago. Maybe he was simply seeing her as a sister now.“Brother?” Baldwin's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he snorted at Derek. “Are you telling me Marie had a son too?”“You heard me right,” Derek seethed. “And I won't let you touch so much as a hair on her head.”Baldwin laughed and looked at Abby.“Now I believe you saying you have a son is all gibberish.” He tilted her chin with his finger. “I doubt you even have a daughter yet.”He turned to his men again.“Take her to my room. I'd love to plant my seed inside her. She'll bear me a daughter.”The men moved toward Abby, but Derek broke free from the men holding him and tackled the ones trying to drag her away.Abby wasn't making it easy for them either, fighting back as they tried to grab her.I struggled against the magical force teth
Hayden’s POV“Really?” He arched his fucking brow. “Then let's see how you'll stop me.”He tapped his finger again.The next moment, Abby and Derek were dragged out by two of his men.“Abby!”My blood boiled as they roughly shoved her forward.I took a step toward her, wanting to rush over and tear those wolves off her, but three weapons were immediately pointed at her.My fist clenched.The message was clear. One wrong move from me, and Abby could get hurt. I wouldn't forgive myself if she got so much as a scratch.Baldwin laughed.“Now do you understand, Alpha Hayden?”I glared at him.“What do you want?”“You.” He spread his arms. “I've been waiting for this day for a very long time. You've been a damn thorn in Dunhall's side, always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.”“And I'm sure you know me well enough to know I'll come for you after this.”“Of course.” His smile widened. “But ironically, you don't seem to know me well enough.”He snapped his fingers twice.Two of his
Abby’s POVThe woman didn’t answer.She looked from me to Derek, her black eyes cloudy with age as white hair covered most of her head.“Maybe she isn't the one,” Derek muttered, tugging my hand. “Let's check the other prison cells.”We were about to move on to the next cell when the woman finally spoke.“No one else is here.”Derek and I paused.No one else here? Then she had to be the one we were looking for.“Then you must be El,” Derek said before I could.The woman didn't answer. “My name is Abby,” I tried again. “We're here to help.”“I don't need your help.” Her voice came out shaky but firm. “Go away.”“Okay. Please hear me out first,” I pleaded. “I only want to ask–”“I said go away,” she snapped, her expression stubborn. “If you don't leave now, I'll alert the guards.”Then she turned her face away from us.I sighed and looked at Derek.“I think we should leave.”I turned around, but Derek didn't move.“Marie Beaumont sent us… in case the name rings a bell.”“My Lady?” the
Abby’s POV I unfolded the paper and skimmed through the words inside. My brows furrowed.“What does it say?” Hayden asked.Before I could answer, he took the paper from my hand and read it himself.His expression hardened.“El is alive.”“Alive?” Derek blurted.Hayden lowered the paper slightly and looked at him.“Baldwin has her locked in his dungeon.”“Why would he lie and say she was dead?” Derek asked.“The same question running through my mind,” I replied.“He's definitely hiding something,” Hayden said. His jaw tightened as he glanced back toward the house. “Baldwin is no different from his father. The men who have ruled this pack before him have always had something shady going on.”He paused, his expression darkening.“I don't understand why the werewolf council hasn't done anything about this pack yet.”“What do we do?” I asked, perplexed.“We go back inside and confront him,” Derek said. I could already sense his anger rising.“No.” Hayden shook his head.“Why not?” I frown
Abby’s POVBefore I could ask him anything, he had already stepped out. He was gone for a few minutes before returning.He slid back behind the wheel, his blue eyes fixed on mine intently. Then, without saying a word, he brought out a small red box and opened it.A glinting silver necklace lay insi
Abby's POV It felt totally unbelievable that I was feeding Hayden like this. He didn’t even stop me, just obeyed. I couldn’t help but look at him. The mighty Alpha himself. I almost chuckled at the thought.I’d almost had a heart attack a few hours ago when I saw him being carried away from the st
Hayden’s POVA monitor beeped steadily in the background. My eyes flung open. Something soft pressed against my nose. Oxygen?I yanked it off.The sharp smell of antiseptic hit me first, making me squeeze my nose. Pack hospital. My jaw clenched. What the fuck am I doing here?I hate hospitals. Alw
Abby's POV“Where’s your chain?” he said, eyes fixed on my neck.I reached up instinctively. Oh Goddess! My neck was bare. I remembered holding the chain at the hotel, meaning… “I think I left it on the dresser.”Hayden squinted, his eyes narrowing as he rolled his tongue along his upper lip, glari
