Ella POV

I made it three blocks from the hospital before Kane found me.

"Going somewhere?" His voice cut through the pre-dawn darkness.

I spun around, hand instinctively protective over my belly. He stood under a streetlight, looking hollow-eyed and dangerous in ways that had nothing to do with physical threats.

"I was—" The lie died on my lips. "I don't know. Away. Somewhere I could think."

"Without your phone. Without security." Kane's laugh was bitter. "That's either incredibly brave or suicidally stupid."

"Maybe both." I sagged against a building wall, exhaustion crashing over me. "My father's dying. The whole world is watching. And I'm supposed to just... what? Stay in that hospital room and wait?"

"Yes." He moved closer, and I saw the raw grief in his eyes. "Because running away pregnant and alone is exactly what Theron wants. It makes you vulnerable. Makes you desperate. Makes you easy to manipulate."

"Like he manipulated you?"

Kane flinched like I'd struck him. "Yes. Like he

  • His Discarded Mate   Chapter 40: The Price of Freedom

    Chapter 40: The Price of FreedomPOV: EllaThe safe house looked normal from outside. 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

    Chapter 36: Unexpected Team-UpNathaniel POVThe emergency exit banged shut behind me. Alarms wailed through Ashworth Memorial, sounding like wounded animals. I gripped the vial in my pocket—the one thing that could save Luna if I could just get out of here.Big if.I heard heavy security boots thundering above me. I'd taken the service stairs to avoid the main floors, but Theron's men were everywhere. This hospital was his turf, his twisted hunting ground.I reached the second-floor landing and then heard it.A door opened. Quiet steps.I spun around, ready to fight.Vivian Ashworth stepped into the stairwell.We just stared. She wasn’t the polished woman who’d fooled me for so long. Her hair was a tangled mess, mascara streaked under her eyes like black rivers. She wore scrubs, not her usual elegant clothes.“Nathaniel.” Her voice cracked on my name.“Move.” I started toward her, but she didn’t budge.“I can help you.” She raised empty hands, trembling. “I know where the guards are.

    Chapter 35: The Antidote MissionElla POVSarah pointed at the monitor, her hands shaking. Four hours. Maybe less.Luna's heartbeat was all over the place on the screen, each beep weaker than the last. The silver poison was tearing her apart, and we were utterly helpless.Except for one desperate shot.The facility's right here. Harrison tossed some blueprints onto the hospital table, pointing at a building on the east side of Theron's turf. It's a private research place, supposedly working on groundbreaking new ways to heal supernaturals.What are they really up to? I asked, already knowing it couldn't be good.Experimenting. Nathaniel's voice was ice-cold. Theron's been using werewolves as guinea pigs. There's an antidote because he created the poison first.My stomach twisted in horror. He's been testing weapons.For years. Harrison slid another paper across. That silver stuff? It's designed to bypass our healing powers. It's just one of many horrors he's cooked up.I looked at Nat
