INICIAR SESIÓNElla believed that she would die of refusal. She did not think that it would free her. Expectant and abandoned, Ella runs to the enemy land with nothing but the life develops within her, the son of her former mate, the child he will never see again. Alpha Kane Winters is her savior and his help has a price not known to her until it is too late. He doesn't see Ella. He observes the apparition of the deceased mate. Stuck between the obsessive love of Kane and the desperate redemption of Nathaniel, Ella gets to realize something she never suspected and that is her strength. However, in a case when old evils, conspiracy of councils, and malevolent magic are united against her yet to be born child, she will not be strong enough. To pursue the fools gold, Nathaniel sacrificed a diamond. Now he will torch the world to show that he is a different man but words are empty and Ella cannot trust him anymore ever since that night when he preferred another woman to her screams. Rejection cannot break some bonds. Others are in blood, stampeded with treachery, and trying with unbelievable decisions. Fighting to secure the future of her son, Ella will have to realize the fact that the worst monsters wear the mask of rescuers, the redemption requires more than excuses, and that there are situations when the only means of getting somewhere is not to wait to be rescued. Because a Luna doesn't kneel. She rises. And when she does it, the entire world shakes.

A colonial-style home in what could've been any wealthy suburb, complete with manicured lawn and security gate that opened with a remote.I'd expected a dungeon. A cage.Instead, Theron led me through a foyer with marble floors and fresh flowers."Your room is upstairs," he said, like this was a hotel. "Second door on the right. There's a nursery adjacent—fully equipped, though we have three weeks yet before it's needed."My hand pressed against my stomach. My son kicked in response, as if sensing the danger."You said my father would be released.""And he was." Theron checked his watch. "Approximately seven minutes ago. The paramedics are quite competent. He'll survive.""Then let me go." I stopped in the foyer, refusing to climb those stairs. "That was the deal.""The deal was your father's freedom in exchange for your testimony withdrawal." His smile was patient, condescending. "You fulfilled your
Chapter 39: ConvergencePOV: NathanielI hit the warehouse doing ninety, tires screaming against asphalt.Kane's vehicle rounded the opposite corner at the same moment—east entrance while I took north. For once, our timing was accidentally perfect.We both slammed to a stop. Doors flew open.Our eyes met across the hood of my car. Gold wolf-eyes on both sides. Every territorial instinct screams to fight.But Ella was inside."Together," I said.Kane's jaw worked. Then he nodded once.We moved as one unit toward the main entrance. The door hung open—wrong. Everything about this felt wrong."Too quiet," Kane muttered.I pulled my weapon. "I know."We breached fast and low. The warehouse interior was lit like a stage—harsh industrial lights highlighting the center space where chains hung empty.And beneath them, crumpled on concrete, was Richard Montgomery.I was moving before conscious thought. Kane hit the space a second after me, both of us dropping to our knees beside Ella's father.
Chapter 38: The Choice That Screams Everything UpPOV: EllaThe address was this busted-up warehouse. Rusted metal, smashed windows—the kind of spot people vanish from.Total trap.Still, I went.My hands were shaking so badly on the wheel. Every part of me was screaming to bail, to just trust that Nathaniel and Kane would figure something else out. But my phone timer read forty-three minutes, and the image of my dad's busted fingers was burned into my head.I parked a couple of blocks away and walked the rest.The front door? Unlocked, of course. Theron wanted me to stroll right in, thinking I was in control.Inside, the warehouse was cleaner than it had any right to be. Concrete floor, swept clean. Harsh lights casting hard shadows. And smack in the middle, under a spotlight that felt way too dramatic, was my dad.Richard Montgomery was hanging from chains, barely conscious. His face? Messed up doesn't even begin to cover it—swollen, bloody, a roadmap of agony. But he was still bre
CHAPTER 37: Racing Against DeathsElla POVThe timer on my phone read 47:23 when Nathaniel burst into the hospital.His face was bloody. His shirt was ripped, with cuts all over his ribs. But he was holding onto that vial like it was life itself.Sarah! He was hoarse as he ran toward us. Now!Dr. Sarah was already on it, grabbing the antidote and heading to Luna's room. I caught Nathaniel as he almost fell; he was so heavy, even with me being pregnant.You're hurt, I said quietly.I'm alive. He put his head against mine, panting. That's what matters.Kane came out of Luna's room, looking totally wrecked. He saw Nathaniel, then the empty vial thing Sarah had dropped.You got it. He didn't even ask; he was just grateful.Yep. Nathaniel stood up straight, wincing. Now, fingers crossed it works.We all went into Luna's room. Dr. Sarah was working fast, getting the injection ready. Luna's heart monitor was beeping like crazy, each beep fainter than the last.This is still experimental, Sar
