LOGIN[OLIVIA’s Point of View]
This was the end I never wanted to have.
~Samantha~We gathered in Dominic's office at five in the morning. None of us had slept.Lila spread a map across the desk. Marked locations with a pencil."The meeting point is here. Old mill on the eastern border. Black Moon chose it because there's no cover nearby. Open ground. Hard to set up an ambush."
~Samantha~My head was spinning. Lila had been making deals with Black Moon. That was bad. That was a betrayal of trust.But she'd also refused to follow through. Had told the man the deal was off. Had prioritized the mission over her sister.That took strength. That took sacrifice.
~Samantha~Purple found us first.We were maybe two miles into the forest, following Lila's directions to where the first Silver Claw survivor was supposedly hiding, when Purple came crashing through the underbrush.Barking. Covered in burrs and scratches.
~Diana~Lila jumped back. "Control your wolf!""He's protecting us from you!" Devon's hands were glowing a little bit. His purification power starting to come out. "Because you're bad!""I'm not bad!

Samantha’s POV"Do you even realize how much you affect me?" Dominic murmured, his breath brushing my skin as his lips pressed against mine again, hungrier this time.I barely had a chance to think, much less respond. Every kiss, every touch, sent my mind spinning. It was maddening, and addictive.
Samantha’s POV“They are going to hate me,” I muttered under my breath, my fingers clenching the hem of my sweater as we walked on the uneven dirt path toward the pack house, and as we passed by several pack members, their eyes were trained on me with questioning gaze.Dominic’s stride did not falt
Samantha’s POV“Why did I let this happen?”The question hung in the air like a fog I could not escape, pressing down on my chest as I sat on the edge of the bed with a towel wrapped tightly around me. The faint warmth of the water still lingered on my skin, but it was nothing compared to the fire
Samantha’s POVOlivia’s face still lingered in my mind, the way she had looked at me before I left the pack grounds. That smug smile.
