LOGINElara’s POVThe rage boiling inside me kept increasing with every heartbeat, a fierce storm that refused to be contained any longer. I had been pushed to the edge enough times already, forced to swallow betrayals and hidden truths until the weight became unbearable, and I would not continue that way. The moment Lucian’s body hit the ground, lifeless after the sword pierced his heart, a fresh wave of attackers emerged from the surrounding woods, their forms shifting into wolves that charged forward with snarls and snapping jaws. The fight reignited instantly, the air thick with the sounds of battle once more as our warriors met them head-on without hesitation. I threw myself back into the fray, my body moving on pure instinct driven by the anger that had finally broken free, every strike landing with the full force of the pain and deception I had endured.Kael faced the warlock directly, the two of them locked in a clash that crackled with raw power. The warlock hurled dark energy and
Kael’s POVI already knew Lucian’s true self, the deception woven so carefully around Elara that revealing it now would shatter her in ways I was not prepared to witness. The supposed brother who had appeared with open arms and shared bloodlines carried nothing but lies, and the birthmark that had seemed to confirm their connection was likely as false as the rest of his story. I had set plans in place long before we left the pack borders, because I sensed trouble brewing the moment his vehicle pulled ahead of ours on this road to Thunderhowl. My warriors stood ready in the trailing cars, and my own instincts remained sharp, far more prepared than anyone who thought they could catch us off guard. Elara sat beside me in the vehicle, her posture still carrying the quiet stiffness from the morning, while Rowen remained alert across from us. I kept my expression calm, letting none of the knowledge I held show on my face as the convoy continued its steady progress through the forested stret
Elara’s POVMorning light filtered through the windows of our chamber with a soft persistence that felt both welcoming and heavy, marking the start of the day I had both anticipated and dreaded in equal measure. The air carried a crisp edge as I moved about the room, gathering the few belongings we would need for the journey to Thunderhowl Pack, where my birth parents waited after years of separation that still felt unreal in many ways. Clothes folded neatly into sturdy bags, a warm cloak for the cooler evenings, and a small collection of personal items that included the few comforts I had grown accustomed to carrying. Kael worked beside me with his usual efficiency, placing his own things into the same collection without any sign of the stiffness that had settled into my own shoulders. The tension sat thick between us, born from the weight of what lay ahead and the lingering emotions from yesterday’s meeting with the parents who had raised me, yet he remained remarkably chilled, his
Kael’s POVThe bright morning sun streamed directly across my face, pulling me from the depths of sleep with its insistent warmth. I blinked against the light, my body still heavy with the remnants of rest, only to find Elara already dressed and standing near the window, her movements calm and deliberate as she adjusted the fit of her pants. The subtle curve of her belly remained hidden for now, a secret we continued to guard closely amid everything else unfolding around us. She looked composed, yet I could sense the quiet resolve beneath her expression, the kind that told me her thoughts had been turning over difficult decisions long before the day had properly begun.“Where are you dressed to?” I asked, pushing myself up from the bed and running a hand through my hair as I tried to shake off the last traces of drowsiness.Elara turned toward me, her fingers still smoothing the fabric at her waist. “I just want to see them,” she said, her voice steady though threaded with emotion. “T
Elara’s POVDays had slipped by in a quiet rhythm marked by steady purpose and lingering uncertainty. Kael and the others spent long hours in careful planning, tracing every possible lead on those responsible for kidnapping the children. The trails proved elusive, twisting away just as they seemed within reach, yet Kael still carved out generous time for me amid the demands that pulled at him constantly. He returned from those meetings with tension etched into his shoulders, only to soften the moment his gaze found mine, his hands gentle as they rested against the curve of my belly or drew me close during the quieter hours.My parents, the ones who had raised me, had been brought to the pack two days earlier under careful escort. I had refused to see them so far, the decision sitting heavy inside me. Anger still lingered, tangled with confusion and the ache of betrayal, but a deeper hesitation held me back. I needed more time before facing the people who had hidden so much while claim
Kael’s POV I would be lying if I said I was not happy that Elara had finally found her family, because I had seen what that emptiness did to her, the quiet questions she carried without speaking, the way her eyes sometimes searched for something she could not name, and knowing that a part of that had finally been answered should have brought me nothing but peace, yet there was something unsettled beneath it all that refused to stay quiet no matter how much I tried to ignore it.Elara sat beside me, her hand warm in mine under the table, her presence a steady anchor amid the chaos. But even that couldn't quiet the unease gnawing at me. If her parents were the former Alpha and Luna of the Thunderhowl Pack, then Elara wasn't just some ordinary omega I'd claimed. She was something more, royalty in hiding, perhaps, her scent and submission masking a lineage that could upend everything. My wolf stirred restlessly inside me, possessive and wary.'If they want you alive,' Michael said, leani
Elara’s POV “Send Ava to bring her meal upstairs. She is too tired to come down.” The voice reached me through the haze of sleep, firm but quiet. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. Then I opened my eyes. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar only for a second before memory returned. Ka

Kael – POV I know something wasn’t right, that’s the connection we both have. It isn’t sight or sound that reaches me first it’s instinct, sharp and undeniable, slicing through every other thought. The pull turns violent, not desperate but commanding, demanding my attention with the certainty o
