Sometimes I still wondered what the hell I had ever done to her to deserve this level of hatred and cruelty, I tried to pick through the memories of my childhood like scabs, searching for that one moment where I had earned her contempt, but my brain hurt from just trying to figure it out. And at this point, I didn't give a fuck anymore. "I want you to go back in there," I said, gesturing to her room with a jerk of my chin, my arm heavy with exhaustion and blood loss. "Pack your things and leave this shelter." My voice was cold, completely empty of emotion, stripped bare of anything that might resemble feeling for this woman. "Because you are no longer needed here." She looked up at me, narrowing her eyes into poisonous slits, her mouth twisting into that familiar sneer
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Flynn's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I continued down the hall, my boots heavy against the floorboards, heading straight for Peter's room. I hadn't seen him since I got back, and although I didn't really want to look at his betraying face again, I knew if Dominic woke up, he would kill Peter on sight and rip his throat out before he could blink, and I was doing this for the sake of Peter's family, not him. They didn't deserve to watch their father get torn apart in front of them. I knocked on his door hard, three sharp raps that echoed down the corridor, and after a few rustling sounds from the inside, whispers, and the creak of bedsprings, his wife opened the door. She tossed me a polite smile, her eyes wary. "Alpha Flynn, to what do we owe the pleasure?" she beamed. For a second I almost turned around and left them in peace. But I couldn't, I wouldn't have that blood on my hands, not when there were children involved, so I squared my shoulders and said
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Flynn's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ Madison's eyes widened in shock, her painted mouth falling open. "Don't be like that, Flynn, stop playing hard to get. I know you want—" "It's Alpha Flynn to you," I corrected, my voice dropping to a dangerous growl that vibrated through my chest, and then I saw red, the literal kind, the second I remembered what the rogues had told me about her trying to drown Sophia. My claws shot out of my fingertips with a visceral snick of bone and sinew, the razor-sharp tips gleaming under the hallway lights with the overwhelming urge to snap her neck right there, to paint these walls with her blood and be done with the poison she represented forever. But I forced myself to hold back, my muscles trembling with the effort, because I had given Maxwell my word that he could have her, so I had to restrain myself even though my wolf was howling murder inside my skull now, thirsty for Madison's blood, desperate to tear her apart limb
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ Alpha Flynn's POV ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ My head was pounding, a dull, throbbing ache right behind my eyes, probably from listening to Sophia's angry cries the entire drive back to the shelter, screaming like she was being murdered when all she was doing was sitting in a car seat. Fuck. I had just returned from the rogue camp after going to get my daughter in the morning, right after Selena had kicked me out of my own fucking room, and now it was night. The sky was pitch black, stars bleeding through the darkness, and although I had left with about eight warriors, I was the only one who made it back alive. I was pretty sure half the warriors at the shelter were probably dead by now, and it was partly Dominic's fault and partly mine. I was the one who had led them into that bloodbath, who had thought we could sneak in and sneak out without the masked bastards noticing, and now their bodies were rotting in the dirt while I drove back with a screaming infant.
╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV ╰─..★.──────────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ Jacob's smile faltered when he saw me, crashing down like a shattered mirror. The air in the room suddenly grew thick and awkward, heavy enough that it was a little hard to breathe. I forced a small, tired smile, my lips trembling as I asked, "Jacob... how are you feeling?" But he didn't answer. He just looked away, his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle jumping in his cheek. My heart clenched at the thought that our relationship hadn't improved at all from last night. Not even after he spilled his heart out to me in that dungeon. We were right back to square one, him hating me, me desperate for him to see me. Lily just watched the both of us, curiosity and tension written all over her pretty face. I swallowed hard, the pain in my chest flaring again. Lena whimpered somewhere deep inside me again, her voice ragged and terrified. "Mate in danger... mate in danger..." I pushed it down hard. Right now, m
╭──────────.★..─╮ Selena's POV ╰─..★.──────────╯ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ I blinked back the tears burning in my eyes and wiped at my lips with the back of my palm, still tasting copper, blood, and Flynn's desperation. I couldn't fucking believe he had actually kissed me. After spilling his heart like that, expecting me to do what? Melt into his arms? I felt nothing. Not even a flicker of what I had felt years ago when we had first met in that bar and he had kissed me while hiding from the pack warriors. Back then there had been heat, confusion, and something. This time? Absolutely fucking nothing. And then he had had the nerve to talk shit about Jeremiah. Saying he didn't deserve me, that he had only shown up after the fact. As if Flynn had any fucking right. He hadn't been there when Dominic bundled me up like trash and tossed me out of the packhouse. He hadn't been there when Dominic ripped my daughters from my arms. He hadn't been there when I also lost my little boy, right when he had
